In the end, it was Sheng Kuang who took the initiative to stand up.
"Xiao Qi, we meet again."
Unlike his ease upon first meeting at Phoenix Pavilion the previous night, Sheng Kuang was a bit reserved today, with a hint of awkwardness even when greeting.
But Ruan Qi, as if nothing had happened, cheerfully called out, "Uncle Sheng."
Seeing the girl's bright smile, Sheng Kuang felt the tension in his heart ease a bit.
He let out a relaxed breath, just about to speak, when he heard Old Master Xi's sonorous laughter.
"Xiao Qi is here?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw the mysteriously vanished Old Xi appearing at the hall entrance.
Upon seeing Old Master Xi, Ruan Qi immediately smiled and ran over.
"Grandpa Xi~" she sweetly called out.
Old Master Xi immediately beamed as if smeared with honey, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes multiplied.
