The Dao Field at the back of Qianmu Mountain.
In the dilapidated little courtyard beside the old locust tree, the occasional disgruntled shout from Yuan Zheng Taoist could be heard. It sounded like he was playing Go, but the person watching over his shoulder was not behaving like a proper gentleman.
This person, of course, was Ruan Chunzi. He always loved to offer a suggestion or two. If you didn't take his advice and ended up losing, he would mock you for the entire day.
The one playing against Yuan Zheng was Wang Ping, who had just come out of seclusion. He had come to visit his master, only to find Yuan Zheng and Ruan Chunzi there as well. Amid their idle chat, they had somehow ended up starting a game.
"If it weren't for the fact I can't beat you, I'd fight you right now!"
