บท 231: A Game of Chess (Part One)

Five days after Liang Xuanji had visited the Bamboo Silk House to discuss a betrothal between her brother and Wu Ling, Liang Xiong arrived at the branch of the sect to keep his appointment with Warden Mu Shien.

Given the importance of this meeting, he'd dressed in his finest lavender robes, covered with dark bolts of purple lightning. The polished silver emblem of an Inner Sect Disciple hung from the sash at his waist, along with a single, small campaign beed marking his participation in the winter campaigns to suppress bandits in the surrounding lands. 

With his long, soft brown hair pulled back into an elegant ponytail and his precisely shaped curved brows, he exuded the air of both a strong fighter and a handsome scholar, instantly gathering the gazes of many women at the entrance to the sect.
