"Ding! Congratulations, host, on swearing brotherhood with Qiao Feng. As the saying goes, 'one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black'; you have automatically acquired the title 'Awe-Inspiring Righteousness.' Your fortune has greatly increased!"

Murong Fu, Qiao Feng, and their companions proceeded toward Deaf-Mute Valley. Ahead, they spotted a large boulder topped with a Go board, where two men were engaged in a match. On the right sat a short, gaunt old man, and on the left, an even thinner, more withered man—none other than Master Kurong.
