The door curtain completely fell, Lady Chiang shifted her gaze elsewhere, as if she hadn't seen anything just now.
"Father, what should we do now?" The room fell into silence again, after a long while, it was still Lian Shouren who mustered up the courage and cautiously asked Old Master Lian.
"What can we do? In this village, we've really lost face now." After a while, Old Master Lian had finally caught his breath, feeling an inexplicable fatigue all over, his heart was gray and lifeless.
"Didn't they all say it would be okay when you went to invite them? Why is it that when the time comes, no one shows up?" Lian Shouren probed, "This, could this be..."
Lian Shouren glanced over at everyone's faces in the room again, hesitating whether to speak his next words.
"Enough, don't say it." Old Master Lian stopped Lian Shouren first. "Don't say anything."
Seeing Old Master Lian like this, Lian Shouren's face turned grim and defeated.
