Although the two chatted while they walked, their conversation did not slow their pace. Before long, they arrived in front of the Nangong family's residence.
"The Family Head is waiting for you in the reception hall ahead..."
Housekeeper Zhao led Ye Xuan to the Nangong family's home and, after a series of turns, arrived at the entrance of the reception hall.
Ye Xuan nodded, then stepped in without any hesitation. As he entered the reception hall, he saw Nangong Bo sitting above, looking rather troubled and vexed. To the right, a gray-clad elderly woman sat in the guest seat, apparently well beyond her seventies, eyes closed, her aura concealed with a slightly cold and fluctuating presence.
"Ye Xuan, you've finally arrived."
Seeing Ye Xuan, Nangong Bo's spirits lifted, and he quickly stood up and walked over.
"I'm already aware of the situation."
