"Heh." Seeing Bai Ziqing place his piece, Emperor Jianhong merely shook his head and chuckled. Without a word, he reached out and made his own move.
THUD!!
Just as he finished, a loud noise echoed. At the doorway, a eunuch had thrown a tightly bound figure onto the floor.
"Your Majesty, the person you requested." The eunuch waited respectfully for Emperor Jianhong to speak. With that, he gently flipped the bound man over, revealing an old face. It was none other than the outcast of the Profound Array Department, Qi Xianlin! However, the resigned numbness etched across his aged face was extremely jarring.
"Mm." Emperor Jianhong kept his eyes fixed on the chessboard, not even sparing a glance at the door.
Bai Ziqing, however, subconsciously looked over. When his gaze landed on Qi Xianlin's face, he blanked for a moment. A thoughtful look emerged in his eyes, though it was unclear what he was pondering.
