Mu Yinghua's Dao Court cave abode.

In the serene back mountain, where birds sang and flowers bloomed, and the forest was tranquil, Qing Muling was playing a game of chess with his master by the stone pavilion near the lake. Qinghuan Emperor sat nearby, watching the game. A group of young, beautiful maidservants stood not far away.

After a while, Qing Muling shook his head helplessly and conceded defeat.

"Master, your chess skills have improved greatly. I truly can't compare in this regard."
