Ninth Master Lee was deeply immersed in his persona as a man who accomplished great things, so he casually replied, "Alright then, handle these small matters yourself.

Song Chongjin was infuriated.

Gu Zikai’s usual gentle and elegant smile almost faltered. He silently repeated three times, "This is a fool!" before managing to squeeze out another polite and amiable farewell smile.
