As Appraiser Lin had become a prominent figure to the Qiao family, the servant decided to report the matter immediately.
Qiao Feigong's eyes were swollen from all the bawling. The tears were uncontrollable, due to the potent mix of emotions he was hit with. First, he was thankful that his family was safe, but he was also ashamed of failing his ancestors. The tears were merely there to vent his frustrations, and now that he was done, Qiao Feigong collected himself after hearing the servant's message.
'Appraiser Lin had just left yesterday and today, his disciples are already here. This proves that he made no delays, but the thieves were just too cunning.'
Qiao Feigong understood it well.
Since the visitor was Appraiser Lin's disciple, he could not be rude to them.
Getting up and tidying his outfit, Qiao Feigong led the family outside to receive their esteemed guests.
