His expression dark, Gongsun She said, "Didn't you purposely come here because you knew I was here?"
"Do I look so free?" Pang Juan restrained his speechless expression and observed the people in this side hall. When his gaze landed on Qi Qingyao, he nodded slightly. "Lady Qi, good day."
Qi Qingyao got up and nodded, her countenance neither humble nor haughty. "Mr. Pang, good day."
Then she made an inviting gesture. "Please take a seat."
Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian had never been as nervous as they were right now. The grand masters of Eastern Ling and Daming had both come and were gathered in one place! This was a grand occasion that was unprecedented even in the Northern Liang Palace.
