At the Central State Academy, the sound of a chess piece landing crisply on the board resounded.
The black and white pieces clashed as fiercely as dragons and tigers battling, yet the player handling the black pieces was exceedingly treacherous, striking fiercely and seizing the initiative with each move, while the player with the white pieces played magnificently and powerfully, move by move.
"Wen He, your style of play has become rather fierce."
Wen Lingjun spoke softly.
Wen He responded, "We're just competing in a game of chess."
"But, weren't you saying that you were going to the imperial capital of Ying to take an official position? Why haven't you left these past few months?"
Wen Lingjun said, "You're in the same situation, claiming you would return to the Western Regions, yet you haven't gone either."
