644 The Might of the Chess Sage (Added Chapter)_3

A man dressed in a dark blue robe sat cross-legged behind a low desk on a wooden platform, facing the direction of the bookshelves, deeply engrossed in writing something.

Apparently noticing Gu Jiao's shadow cast on the ground, he lifted his head to reveal a young face distinguished and handsome, and he slightly smiled, "Are you a young friend of Master Meng?"

Gu Jiao nodded, "Yes, my surname is Xiao."

"Please take a seat," he gestured towards the round cushion that had just been arranged opposite him, "You may call me Ye Qing, Young Master Xiao."

Gu Jiao sat down opposite Ye Qing, the eldest disciple.

Ye Qing's robe was slightly different from those of the other National Master Hall disciples, signaling his prominent status within the hall.

He possessed a refined and ethereal quality, his smile was inviting yet not one you would dare to approach too closely.

It was a sense of distance that was just right.
