Cai Ziyuan seemed to have finally found a place to vent his grievances. He earnestly advised Bai Qingyan that Bai Jinzhi should read more military books. It wasn't that Cai Ziyuan thought Bai Jinzhi lacked strategy in battle, but he believed that Bai Jinzhi should study to temper his character.
Moreover, Bai Jinzhi's path to growth had been too smooth, leading to some arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. If this continues, he may suffer when encountering a tough opponent in the future.
Cai Ziyuan originally intended to teach Bai Jinzhi chess to temper his character and learn the art of war through the game.
But Bai Jinzhi's enthusiasm quickly faded. At first, he said he wanted to learn from Cai Ziyuan properly, so he could play a few rounds with his elder sister in the future. However, after just two days, every time Cai Ziyuan brought the chessboard to him, Bai Jinzhi would run away faster than anyone.
