Mo Hua visited Mr. Zhuang the following day; after all, he was Mr. Zhuang's registered disciple, and having been trapped in the spiritual mines for so long without visiting to check in on him, Mo Hua felt somewhat remiss.
Mr. Zhuang was still asleep, so Mo Hua played a little Five Elements Chess with Old Kui.
After such a long time, the chess skills of the two were still mediocre, without much improvement.
However, Five Elements Chess, such a simple game, requires less painstaking effort; it's more interesting to just play and kill each other's pieces straightforwardly.
Mo Hua and Old Kui were well-matched opponents; they took turns attacking and defending, fighting to a standstill.
By the time Mr. Zhuang woke up, Mo Hua was feeling somewhat reluctant to part, but he said goodbye to Old Kui and went to meet Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang basically took a laissez-faire approach with Mo Hua, allowing him to learn on his own and come to him with questions, and he didn't say much about it.
