Old Master Bai’s words had just finished when all the guests present began to crowd around, saying words of blessing or compliments. Old Master An and Old Master Gu, these few old friends, also all stepped forward to truly wish them well.

"Humph! Today I’m rather disappointed by your behavior. I hope that henceforth you can win some honor for our Guh Family and not let outsiders laugh at us for no reason!" Guh Tian snorted coldly, flipped his sleeve with Ah Chen, and left, leaving only Guh Siyi standing alone with her head hung, not making a sound.

"Who said I care about that old man?"
