Seeing that the dispute was nearly over, Xiao Yao approached with a smile and said, "Master, don't worry, you're the only master I will have. Thank you for the kindness, Old Li and Old Wu!"
Qi Wanhai felt relieved upon hearing this. His disciple hadn't let him down after all; she was indeed loyal to her own master. He looked smugly at his two old friends.
In fact, neither Old Li nor Old Wu really wanted to compete with Qi Wanhai for a disciple. They just couldn't stand his smugness, so they staged this little drama. It was how the three of them always maintained and deepened their friendship.
Afterward, the group continued to chat about various topics, including the prospects of the antiques industry. The more Xiao Yao talked with them, the deeper her understanding of the antiques business became, and it greatly helped her as she ventured into the industry.
