Old Master Ye, frustrated after losing a chess piece to Ye Nanshen, became even more irritable when he heard the butler's report about the arrival of a high monk.
"Just let him come, do I have to welcome him? Whoever invited him should do the greeting," said Old Master Ye.
While speaking, Ye Nanshen strategically placed another chess piece, blocking Old Master Ye's move.
Old Master Ye huffed in annoyance.
The butler continued, "The monk said he wasn't invited by anyone from our family. He came on his own after sensing something amiss here. Master, should we send him away?"
"Amiss? How come only he senses something amiss? I'm done playing; I don't want to play with you anymore, you disrespectful rascal. Rong Qi, your turn."
"Me?" Rong Qi pointed at herself, shaking her head, "No, no, I'm not playing."
"I told you to play, so play! Stop dilly-dallying!" Old Master Ye pushed Ye Nanshen away, insisting Rong Qi take his place.
