"Hahaha!" Before the man arrived, his laughter came first, "Brother Ge, great joy, great joy indeed!"
A middle-aged man dressed in eye-catching clothes with an otherwise unremarkable face approached with a joyful expression and a bouncy step.
This was Qiu Hu, one of the Elders of the Foreign Affairs Hall at Xuan Tian Gate. Elder Ge had had a few encounters with him, but they weren't close, knowing each other merely in passing.
Elder Ge went up to greet him, "Thank you, Elder Qiu. Joy for both of us indeed!"
Qiu Hu jestingly scolded him, "You old wine ghost, not even inviting me when you find a good disciple. Do you think I'm not worthy of Brother Ge's attention? And here I am, thinking of you whenever something good comes up."
Elder Ge laughed heartily, "I did think of inviting, but Elder Qiu is always so busy. It's hard to catch you when you're free!"
