This old and young pair exchanged a few casual words, leaving Su Mo puzzled.
He couldn't help but glance at Yang Xiaoyun.
Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said:
"Just now you left, and Sister Hua asked what we were doing.
"Upon finding out we were playing chess.
"She, eager for a challenge, couldn't resist taking up the pieces and playing.
"Coincidentally, Bo Yan and Senior Zha arrived together.

"Later, Senior Zha saw Sister Hua's high chess skill and asked her origin, only then did we learn that Sister Hua has quite the impressive background."
"...My lady, please don't poke fun at me."
Hua Shiyi hurried to dismiss it:
"The family has declined, no longer as it once was.
"Now, with only this little skill, I can't rely on it in Jianghu."
"Ah..."
The old beggar sighed again upon hearing this:
"The Hua family's past is too distant, hard to recount.
