The mountain woods were covered in green maple leaves. Several young adults with earphones on were taking a morning run on the quiet paths.
Higher on the mountain stood a pavilion with a view of Fanxue City. Two middle-aged men were playing chess inside it, each with a pot of tea on their side. People who walked by would give them a quick glance. Even the squirrels on the branches were eating nuts and watching the match in silence.
"Brother, you always went easy on me when we played chess back in the old days. Why did you checkmate me so quickly?" Mu Zhuoyun asked helplessly.
"Why don't you say my skills have improved over the years?" Mo Jiaxin laughed and poured tea into Mu Zhuoyun's cup.
Mu Zhuoyun immediately stopped him and said, "I can do it myself."
