Upon hearing Wei Tianlin's words, Yan Sifu burst into laughter and casually tossed the chess piece in his hand aside.
"Patriarch Wei, you're too polite. I merely took advantage of a situation, nothing more."
At this moment, a maid came forward to clear the chessboard and served fragrant tea. The two of them sipped tea and chatted about everything under the sun, enjoying a pleasant conversation.
If an outsider were to witness this scene, they'd certainly be quite surprised.
After all, one of the people present was the Patriarch of the influential Wei Family, and the other was a prince of Great Yan.
These two should have been at odds, yet here they were, conversing like longtime friends, their relationship extremely harmonious.
After chatting for a long time, Yan Sifu suddenly set down his teacup, looking at Wei Tianlin with a half-smile and said,
"I've heard there's been an interesting rumor spreading in the court today."
