After locking eyes, Second Elder Situ Kong nodded at Ji Ruyan and then followed the crowd into the main hall.
Once everyone was seated in the hall, Great Elder Zhong Sunge immediately said, "Tonight's affair was indeed mishandled by Zhuge Tingran. Here, on behalf of the Four Great Families, I offer our sincere apologies to everyone. Those who have suffered internal injuries these past days may go to the Elixir Pharmacy, established by the Four Great Families, to get medicine for treatment, free of charge."
As the saying goes, one does not slap the offered hand of a smiling face.
Besides, Great Elder Zhong Sunge was a tactful man, and that was that.
The crowd nodded in agreement, effectively accepting the proposition.
