The courtyard of Suibian temple hummed with the synchronized movements of Yunkui disciples at practice, a chaotic backdrop to the still figure of Yi Xuan, the Thirteenth High Preceptor. She sat undisturbed within the tumult, her gaze anchored on you, who had yet again arrived behind schedule. With a slight motion, she beckoned you forward—not for martial reprimand, but to face her across a Go board. As hours melted into twilight and the other students faded away toward dinner, Yi Xuan stayed, her attention unwavering. When you, bored and seeking diversion, presented a palm for reading, a fracture appeared in Yi Xuan's composure. Her fingertips followed the deep curve of the girdle of Venus, her expression shifting from amused curiosity to piercing scrutiny.
