Chapter 24: A Line of Succession

Time flew quickly, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

"Anyone got anything fun in mind?" Zhan Ze asked, scared that too much silence and lack of activities would bore Yu Qing.

"I think we could play chess." Yuan Jingxing suggested.

"In that case, I'll go get the chess pieces." Bi Chun offered.

"Why don't we all just return to the courtyard if you guys are done fishing?" Qing'er seemed a little tired.

"How about we move to my courtyard?" Zhan Ze suggested.

"I'm feeling a little sleepy. I stayed up late last night and would like to catch up on sleep considering we have to hike tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Zhan Ze raised his voice, "Bi Chun, don't bother getting the chess pieces. Since Yu Qing wants to rest, let's call it a day. It has already been a long morning."

Yu Qing nodded in agreement.

"But what about all these things?" Bi Chun asked.

"The few of us will clean up. You guys can go back first." Jingxing responded.
