The master of Beiyuan Hall, Northern Island Master, was rejected by a head of a small family, losing face.
Beiyuan looked towards Bei Ming, who signaled him not to act rashly, affirming that whatever Tang Rao says is what goes, and how they handle things privately is their own accord, not conflicting at all.
"Tang Family Master is truly generous. In that case, we shall trouble you further, and hope Tang Family Master doesn't take offense."
Bei Ming cupped his hands to Tang Rao in respect and then led Beiyuan away without dragging things out.
Once they had walked a while, Beiyuan dared to ask his son what exactly happened just now.
"We've spent so much wealth and prepared so many gifts—have you forgotten your purpose?"
His son had always made him proud, never disappointing Beiyuan with his actions. How had he erred today?
