The old man nodded at Su Chengyu appreciatively upon hearing his words, then stepped aside, signaling that Su Chengyu could come forward to offer his condolences.
The mourning ritual of the Bei Tang Clan was not complicated; it was even somewhat simple. However, Su Chengyu, who never cared much for such formalities, saw no issue with it.
Following the procedure just mentioned by the elder, he properly walked through it and then inserted a stick of incense that had already burned down by a third into the incense burner.
After bowing three times, Su Chengyu finally left the center of the memorial hall, planning to wait here for Bei Tang Qian Xiao's return.
The old man, noticing that Su Chengyu had finished his condolences, turned to make conversation: "Did the young master come back with Miss Qianxiao?"
Su Chengyu nodded: "Qianxiao and I are old acquaintances; I knew her even earlier than the Dream Entering Elder."
