"My apologies, everyone." Wang Shouye continued to greet the peddlers and independent cultivators around him. With a warm smile on his face, he apologized sincerely, "I'm at fault for delaying everyone's journey. Please forgive me."
"Seventh Young Master, you are too polite."
"Yes, yes, these are trivial matters."
"We are not in a hurry, there's nothing serious being delayed. It's your journey, Seventh Young Master, that truly matters."
Everyone was flattering the Seventh Young Master with cheerful words. Clearly, he held a prestigious position in their minds.
Regardless, Wang Shouye continued to greet everyone he could.
Eventually, he turned to the elder and Wang Shouyue, having noticed their extraordinary presence. He briefly studied them but didn't say much. Smiling, he gave them a slight bow. "I have caused you both a delay."
His demeanor was remarkable, his gentlemanly performance was as pleasant as a spring breeze, greatly increasing likability.
