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.
Only Guh Tian was left standing alone in the original spot, his face alternating between green and white.
He wasn't a fool, how could he possibly not understand the implications of Old Master Bai's words.
Looking up, his sharp gaze happened to meet Guh Siyi, who had just come in from the small garden to catch her breath. Guh Tian frowned deeply, becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his granddaughter's performance.
"What did you go off to do? How can you run off at such an important occasion?" Guh Tian asked discontentedly as Guh Siyi slowly approached him.
Guh Siyi's downcast eyes flickered subtly, and she obediently apologized to Guh Tian, "I'm sorry, Grandfather, it was a bit stuffy inside, so I went out for some fresh air."
