The bell rang, indicating that some important figures like Young Zen Master and State Duke He had arrived at the Chess Board Mountain.
State Duke He walked to the side of the railing on the mountaintop, looking down at the lush forest, mulling over something.
As the host of the Plum Meeting, he had nowhere to seek help no matter how helpless he was. His issue was that the Young Zen Master wasn't with him at the moment.
The Young Zen Master was currently resting in the Temple of Three Purities, located in the middle of the mountain.
Though it was odd that an important Buddhist monk stayed in a Daoist Temple to rest, State Duke He was fully aware that the Young Zen Master wasn't concerned about this at all, so he kept his mouth shut.
Taking a brief look at the Imperial palace in the distance, State Duke He said to the officials by his side, "Let the game begin then."
