"There's no need for formalities." Guan Xilin said with a warm smile, "Your master is my sister, but I am not your master. You and I can interact as peers."
Hearing this, Si Que and Mu Xin exchanged glances. They had only recently pondered how to address him. Now that they had heard his words, they felt a sense of relief. They clasped hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Brother Guan. Then we shall address each other as brothers!"
"Brother Si Que, Brother Mu." Guan Xilin returned the courtesy and asked them to sit down.
They talked in the hall for a while before Leng Hua came in and said, "Master, the kitchen has prepared food and wine. Would you like to have a meal now?"
"That's fine." Feng Jiu nodded.
Si Que and Mu Xin stood up, "Master, we need to return to the Shao family. Since there are no other matters here, we will take our leave."
"Why don't you stay for the meal?" Feng Jiu looked at the two.
