Old Master Wen's face revealed both guilt and awkwardness as he said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, the child has indeed been spoiled by me. After I return this time, I will certainly teach her a good lesson."
Elder Master Jian was the most protective of his own.
Even though he didn't like Ye Qingci, having Mi Hetong criticize her in front of him also made him uncomfortable.
Jian Shichu's words not only preserved the face of his old friend but also pointed out Mi Hetong's faults, which pleased him greatly. He patted Old Master Wen on the shoulder and said, "Let the children deal with their own matters, we won't interfere. Let's go inside and have chess and tea!"
Old Master Wen laughed heartily, "Indeed, I've been longing for the fine tea here, and this time I must have several cups before I return."
"Alright," Elder Master Jian also laughed and said, "Not only will I make sure you've had enough, but I'll also let you take a few pounds of fine tea leaves with you when you leave!"
