As the conversation reached this point, more and more people kept arriving outside, and only then did some begin to inquire why they hadn't seen the two main characters yet.
"Why haven't Master Xi and Miss Wen come out yet? Did they return too late last night? Have we disturbed Master Xi's rest by coming here?"
Some people were already feeling that their arrival might have been inappropriate. After all, the hosts had just come back from abroad and hadn't had proper rest before their guests began to arrive and create a commotion, which was quite impolite.
"No, Master Xi sent a message yesterday asking me to invite you over. Master Xi said that things were quite hectic at the banquet the other day, and he didn't get the chance to entertain you properly, so he asked you all to come over and gather together."
Gu Yanzhe watched a few people feeling somewhat embarrassed and spoke up to explain, not wanting them to feel pressured.
