"Young Master Shangguan, apologies for my disturbance," Long Xize said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Indeed, in the pugilist world, it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Shangguan Yu calmly and cheerily replied, "Everyone who comes to Minsheng Hall is a guest. It's my honor to be of service to young master Xize."
Mo Ziwan was well aware of his underlying thoughts. She cast him a sidelong glance, knowing he was merely putting on a show.
Shangguan Yu pretended not to notice Mo Ziwan's reaction and laughingly ordered two medical servants, instructing them on various details.
"Our gifts are still at the inn. I'll send someone to fetch them," Long Xize mentioned.
"No problem, we have an empty courtyard at the back. Once the medical servants have finished cleaning it up, Master Long can move in," Shangguan Yu replied with cordiality and hospitality.
