Meanwhile, Qin Dingshan from the Qin Family arrived with Qin Han, Qin Fang, and his sister Qin Jia, seemingly having forgotten everything about the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference that had taken place just over a month ago, as if nothing had happened at all.
The arrival of these two families caused everyone to detect the scent of juicy gossip.
"Patriarch Qin, Patriarch Guh! It's been a while, I hope you are both well!" Old Master An greeted them with a hearty laugh, displaying warmth in every gesture as if there were no barriers between them.
However, from Old Master An's form of address, everyone could discern some subtleties. He referred to Old Master Gu directly as 'Old Gu.' And for the less well-acquainted Duan Yuntian and Old Master Bai, he affectionately called them 'Old Duan, Old Bai.' Only when facing Qin Dingshan and Guh Tian did Old Master An use the more distant 'Patriarch Qin, Patriarch Guh.'"
The closeness or distance between them was clear at a glance.
