Those who run a theater troupe in the Xuanzheng Palace; those who sneak out of the palace every day and do not see anyone for ten and a half months; those who are keen on pretending to be bandits and robbing official silver...

In comparison, establishing a male wife, building a garden, becoming a monk... are all trivial matters.

It's not surprising that he would do this now.

…

This topic was eventually dropped.

In the next few meetings, Bai Mu was still the last to arrive and the first to leave. But what was more surprising was that he, who had always been a wallflower, would occasionally be questioned.

Bai Mu:?

Is it an expression of trust? It doesn’t seem like it, but it doesn’t look like it?

For a while, both sides were trying to figure out each other's attitudes.

This day.

After Yan Xiao announced the end, Bai Mu was the first to leave.

But I don't know when, no one expressed dissatisfaction with this anymore. Everyone waited for him to go out before leaving one by one.

——With such talent, arrogance has become a matter of course.

Bai Mu's main thoughts were on Yan Xiao, and he didn't pay attention to the change in attitude of his "colleagues".

Therefore, he was a little surprised when he was stopped by Lin Xunyi on the road.

"Master Pei."

Lin Xunyi raised his hand and saluted, "I heard that your chess skills are superb... I wonder if we can learn from each other?"

Bai Mu paused.

He was still concerned about Lin Xunyi. After all, he was Yan Xiao's chief military advisor and the future prime minister.

but……

Bai Mu: "..."

What's going on with these people? Is the only way for smart people to test each other is by playing chess?

Bai Mu thought bitterly, refusing to admit that it was because his chess skills were mediocre and he couldn't beat others with hard strength that he had all these dissatisfactions.

He smiled hard and cupped his hands, "...Thank you for your favor. It's a great honor."

Inner OS: San'er, it's up to you...

Although he was determined to embrace the system, at the beginning, Bai Mu still didn't want to give in and insisted on making several moves on his own.

Then……

Gradually become autistic.

Bai Mu: "...San'er, hey, he's bullying me."

In this world, the system is particularly easy to talk to for some reason.

For example, now, instead of taking any action against Bai Mu's dramatist behavior, it immediately provided off-site guidance.

Bai Mu: The system suddenly treated him so well. To be honest... he was a little uncomfortable...

But this unaccustomedness didn't matter. Bai Mu quickly followed the system's instructions.

The sound of "ta-da" echoed in the tent...

Materials are scarce in the frontier, and the chessboard pieces are not made of precious materials, and the sound of the two pieces colliding is far from pleasant. But the hand holding the white piece is white and slender, and it takes away all the people's attention, making people

There was no time to pursue the unpleasant sound.

But Lin Xunyi couldn't care less about admiring that hand at this moment.

Beads of sweat gradually formed on his forehead, and the intervals between chess pieces falling became longer and longer.

…

…………

Finally, his hand on top of the chess box changed from twisting to grasping, holding several chess pieces.

The scattered black stones fell on the chessboard, and Lin Xunyi sighed, "I lost."

Looking up again, the man opposite smiled and held his hands, "I accept."

The smile was still gentle and gentle, as if the murderous chess game full of traps just now was not his hand.

Bai Mu: To be honest, at the end of the game, it was beyond his scope of analysis...

Commonly known as, "I can't even understand it."

Even so, Bai Mu felt very calm when he met Lin Xunyi's awe-inspiring gaze.
