"Ga of chess?" ng Yan was dumbfounded by Yang Wei's suggestion.
Normally, he was serious and focused on a task.
"Un, a ga of chess- do you dare to play?" Yang Wei nodded his head as he showed a solemn expression.
"Hmph, you think I'm scared?" ng Yan scoffed as she lifted her sleeve up.
Soti later, a chessboard was laid on top of the table. It was a chess ga called Xiangqi- a strategy board ga.
"Do you want to be the red one or the black one?" Yang Wei asked kindly.
"Tch, you seem to be confident in winning already and are offering to choose the color." ng Yan sneered as she would definitely make him regret this.
"So what are we betting on?" She then added.
Yang Wei pondered for a mont before smiling at her. "Winner gets to make the loser do whatever the winner wants. Of course, that does not an you can ask for sothing outrageous like spreading your legs open."
ng Yan was ticked off as his explanation seed more to be for him than for her.
'This Yang Wei- just wait till I destroy you in chess.' ng Yan laughed inwardly as she nodded her head.
"Since that's the case then I shall pick the red side and go first." ng Yan picked up a chess piece and made her first move.
Yang Wei smiled calmly at her first move. "I won't go easy on you, ng Yan."
Afterward, Yang Wei picked up his black piece and moved it up by 2 spaces.
The ga continued for a while before ng Yan started laughing heartily.
"My goodness Yang Wei. You made it sound like you are a pro or sothing but look at my red pieces. They are gobbling up your black pieces like it's nothing." ng Yan teased as she took out another black piece.
The chessboard only had 5 black pieces left whereas ng Yan had 10 red pieces.
ng Yan's gloating expression was a sight to see but Yang Wei held a calm expression.
"ng Yan, has no one ever taught you sothing in the imperial family?" Yang Wei suddenly asked.
"What do you an by that?" ng Yan raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to make call this a draw considering how I destroy you?"
Yang Wei shook his head.
"No- What I'm trying to say is that your brain is still too naive to be roaming outside of the imperial family." He then added.
ng Yang was angered as she wanted to strangle Yang Wei for underestimating her.
However, her movent stopped when she saw Yang Wei moving one of his chariot pieces and her face ashen.
"Checkmate!" Yang Wei smiled at ng Yan who held a gawking expression.
"H-How is this possible?" ng Yan stood up in disbelief as she pointed at the chessboard.
She had the advantage the entire ti yet one move from Yang Wei was enough to destroy her king's piece.
There were no other possible moves left- aning she had lost the entire ga without knowing why.
Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders as he stood up. "It doesn't matter how many black pieces you took away from - it's about who gets to the king first."
"Your mind and focus were colluded by the baits I sent to you hence, your king beca vulnerable. As for the bet, I will tell you when the ti is right."
After that, Yang Wei turned around and left ng Yan's courtyard as he returned to Elder Jing's courtyard.
"Where did you go?" Elder Jing asked him as she read over so docunts. "We're going to head out to the Misty Forest tomorrow so you'll need to prepare yourself."
Yang Wei nodded his head.
"I had already prepared them ahead of ti when you ntioned it yesterday. Also, I think there are going to be a lot of people targeting tomorrow."
Yang Wei then walked over to Elder Jing as he hugged her from behind. He was a bit exhausted today dealing with a bunch of hot-blooded youths that were jealous of him.
Elder Jing remained in her position and teased, "Let guess, you attracted another beautiful female in the sect and got many enemies."
Yang Wei shuddered as he was rendered speechless by Elder Jing's foresight.
There seed to be nothing he could hide from her.
"I didn't really attract another female since we t from the beginning when I entered the sect." Yang Wei answered honestly.
"You an Princess ng Yan?"
"Un, she spotted and followed around to the library. Afterward, we went to her courtyard-"
Yang Wei suddenly felt a chill in his shoulders as he swallowed nervously.
Elder Jing placed her docunts down as she turned around and glared at Yang Wei.
"Are you really cheating on right away?" Elder Jing then asked in an irritated tone.
"I didn't cheat on you."
"Then why are you going to a lady's courtyard?
Yang Wei turned solemn and said in a sincere tone, "I was playing a ga of chess with her and managed to fool her into accepting one of my requests in the future."
"O-Of course the requests aren't indecent as I figured it would help us in the long run."
Although a bit doubtful of him, Elder Jing sighed softly in the end and nodded her head.
"Even if that's the case, I hope you know what you're doing- after all, fooling a maiden's love isn't going to end well."
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he understood her aning. He wasn't naive nor dense enough to not realize ng Yan's feelings for him were more than friends.
However, he wasn't attracted to her in any way and he couldn't just force himself to accept her as that would be unfair to her.
"I understand, Jing Feng." Yang Wei then said as he held her hand. "I will let ti decide what path we will take and I don't want to risk the friendship we just made today."
