Listening to Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words, Dong Fang Yu nodded quickly and said, "Shao Qing, this cold-hearted fellow, finally didn't miss a good opportunity. If you had let Qin Yue get away like that, you would have regretted it in the future. I must say, I played a significant role in all this!"
Gong Shao Qing gave Dong Fang Yu a cold glance, his eyes still as icy as ever.
"You don't speak, but that doesn't mean nobody sees you," he replied, his demeanor unappreciative.
Dong Fang Yu's face fell. "Brother, aren't you being a bit too cold-hearted?"
"I'd rather you worry about yourself than worry about me," Gong Shao Qing said coldly, showing no gratitude.
Both Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the others were already accustomed to Gong Shao Qing's demeanor and burst into laughter.
"Shao Qing is right. Dong Fang, Shao Qing has already found a suitable match, but you still haven't found your significant other," Bai Jun Yu said with a light chuckle.
Dong Fang Yu lifted his head. "I'm still young. Why rush into these things?"
"You didn't say that to me before," Gong Shao Qing suddenly interjected.
"..."
Gong Shao Qing was indeed skilled at creating an awkward atmosphere whenever he spoke, but nobody minded.
With Dong Fang Yu's looks and abilities, there were plenty of people in the Tian Gang Sect who liked him, so there was no need to worry about his romantic prospects.
"Hong Zhuang, why did we only see you and not the Young Sect Master?" Bai Jun Yu couldn't help but ask.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang smiled faintly. "He went to the Council Hall with the Elders. It's been a while, so there must be a lot of matters to handle. He will come back once everything is taken care of."
"Now that we have reunited after such a long time, should we celebrate?" Xia Zhi Qing's eyes brightened. They were usually in different halls, making it inconvenient for them to gather. But now that Bai Li Hong Zhuang had returned, things were different.
"The Master has already ordered the preparation of a banquet for tonight. You can rest assured!" Xiao Hei jumped onto Bai Li Hong Zhuang's lap, always showing the utmost interest in food.
"Xiao Hei even specifically asked for two servings of braised pig trotters," Xiao Bai exposed without hesitation.
Upon seeing Xiao Hei, Xia Zhi Qing quickly picked it up and held it in her hands. "Xiao Hei, you haven't changed at all after all this time! Eating braised pig trotters for so long and not getting tired of them."
Xiao Hei pouted. "Braised pig trotters are my lifelong love. Of course, I won't get tired of them!"
"Boss, it's not easy for you to raise these three foodies. Fortunately, your current identity is different from before. I don't have to worry about them eating you out of house and home," Yuan Xiao Man shook her head and sighed.
Hearing this, Bai Li Hong Zhuang couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I used to worry about this too, but fortunately, it never happened. With my meager income back then, it would have been really difficult to feed these three fellows."
"After you return this time, you shouldn't be busy leaving again, right?" Bai Li Hong Zhuang nodded and said, "I shouldn't be. But I'll occasionally go back to the Blue family because my parents are there."
"In a few days, we will have the opportunity to leave the mountain as well. At that time, we can go back home and visit our relatives. It's really exciting to think about it," Xia Zhi Qing said with a smile. "Hong Zhuang, no matter what, I have to congratulate you again. Having family by your side is true happiness."
