Tang Mingjing and his granddaughter Tang Shiyao saw Ling Tianyu getting ready to leave and quickly rose to stop him. Two of their Sect's Elders had not yet arrived, and it would not be too late to leave after their arrival.
Ling Tianyu was forcibly seated on the sofa by Tang Shiyao. While he could refuse to give face to Tang Mingjing, he had to give face to Tang Shiyao, as they were, after all, acquaintances, so he reluctantly sat down.
Soon, the Great Elder arrived with the Second Elder at the villa. Upon his arrival, the Great Elder actively reached out for a handshake with Ling Tianyu, while the Second Elder began to feel a bit embarrassed.
He knew just how harshly he had spoken back then, and now having to reconnect with Ling Tianyu, it indeed felt a bit thick-skinned and opportunistic.
