The courtyard looks simple and old-fashioned from the outside, but the interior is extremely luxurious.
At least the Beastman Warrior frequently comes and goes, but every time he enters, he feels an indescribable admiration from deep within. He walks through a long corridor and quickly arrives at a tranquil garden.
The garden is filled with precious flora and trees from various Star Domains, permeating with exotic fragrances.
A middle-aged man in luxurious robes, with long black hair coiled with a wooden stick, sits on a mat, a set of black-and-white chess pieces laid out before him, holding a black piece between two fingers, yet to be placed.
The Beastman Warrior slows his pace as he approaches, respectfully calling out, "Duke Yaoyang."
"Mm," the middle-aged man responds without rising or turning around.
