Double Cultivation
xie's family apology
"So, most importantly, come in." Lord Xie opened the door wide and welcomed them in with a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty…"
"Please, just call me Senior Xie while you're here. I invited you here for dinner anyway." Lord Xie said to them.
"…"
Liu Lanzhi and the disciples were speechless, as they would never have imagined that there would be a day when they could just talk to the ruler of the Eastern Continent! It is a miracle like a dream!
Some time later, as Lord Xie led them into the building, Xie Xingfang was seen running towards them from the end of the hall with a joyous expression on his face.
"Welcome to our simple house, Su—"
However, the excitement on his face instantly disappeared when he did not see Su Yang among them.
"Where is Su Yang? Did he not come here with you?" he asked them with a slightly confused face.
"Greetings, Princess. Su Yang came here with us, but he had to return to the Profound Flower Sect to take the last member.." Liu Lanzhi bowed to him.
"You can call me Xing'er like everyone else in this place, Senior Liu."
"I don't dare.." Liu Lanzhi quickly shook his head.
"It's okay, really. In fact, I still haven't expressed my gratitude to you for the hospitality in the Profound Flower Sect." Xie Xingfang then bowed gracefully towards him and spoke in a clear tone, "Thank you, for allowing grandfather and I to stay in the Profound Flower Sect. It was a savior literally."
"You're exaggerating." Liu Lanzhi showed a humble yet stiff smile on his face, because it only felt so strange for the Xie Family to treat him as if they were friends when they barely interacted with each other.
"Dad, let me show them the guest room." Xie Xingfang said to her.
"Please. I'll have the waiters prepare tea for you." He nodded before leaving.
"Come with me," Xie Xingfang said to the three of them afterward.
A while later, they entered a luxurious room filled with so many shiny decorations that it could blind their eyesight for a while.
"Um ... Her Highness the Princess, although this is not enough to express my full gratitude to the Xie Family for inviting us, I hope that you can find its usefulness …" Liu Lanzhi suddenly took out a storage pouch from her storage ring and offered it to Xie Xingfang.
However, Xie Xingfang simply stared at the storage pouch with a silent look.
A few seconds later, he shook his head and said, "i can't accept that, Senior Liu."
"Because I also have a little present for you." Xie Xingfang also took out the storage pouch from his robe and showed it to Liu Lanzhi.
"The Xie family hasn't done anything worthy of your reward. In fact, we have done the opposite by causing trouble for the Profound Flower Sect constantly ..." Xie Xingfang suddenly lowered his head and apologized to him, "On behalf of the Xie Family, the, I'm sorry for everything that happened. If only we were more involved with the outside world, perhaps the Sect of a Million Snakes would never bother you … "
"Please, raise your head, Your Majesty!" Liu Lanzhi panicked as Xie Xingfang lowered his head, as his actions were akin to lowering his own status. Luckily for them, they were inside a private room and only 2 people saw it. If Xie Xingfang were to lower his head in public, it would definitely cause a commotion.
"You can't blame yourself for what happened between the Profound Flower Sect and the Million Snake Sect, because they're the one who's wrong!" Liu Lanzhi then said to him.
"No, it was precisely because my family had nothing to do with the Million Snake Sect that made them go berserk.we should have intervened the first time we heard it, but we did nothing, we did nothing, and gave them the impression that we approved of their actions, " Xie Xingfang said.
And he continued, "Although this offering will not bring back the disciples who left the sect or change what has happened and remove the pain you feel, I hope you can accept it, she said, or I won't be able to sleep well again."
"…"
Liu Lanzhi was speechless because of Xie Xingfang's sincere sincerity.
A while later, Liu Lanzhi finally nodded his head and received Xie Xingfang's storage pouch.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Liu Lanzhi bowed to him afterwards.
"No, I should be the one to thank you, Senior Liu, so .. Thank you." Xie Xingfang responded with his own bow. "And please call me Xing'er."
"…" Meanwhile, the two disciples in the same room felt very out of place, like two beggars who accidentally went into a luxurious meeting.
"By the way, you ladies can use this room as you like while we wait for Su Yang to return," Xie Xingfang told them a moment later. "The tea will also be here soon."
"Thank you, Yang. Xing'er.." Liu Lanzhi said in a stiff voice.
"You'll get used to it," Xie Xingfang smiled at him before leaving the room shortly afterwards.
"Haaah.it was tense.." Liu Lanzhi sat on the large sofa behind him with a tired face, completely ignoring the two disciples in the room.
"Are you okay, Matriak?" Disciple Chen asked him a moment later.
"Yes, it's just that I haven't talked to the Xie Family in a long time. Shit, this is the first time I actually spoke to them just like that! It feels so weird!" he's sighing.
The disciples silently nodded their heads, and they understood his feelings even though they did not need to talk to the Xie Family.
'Su Yang, please come back soon .. I don't think I will be able to handle the Xie Family alone!' Liu Lanzhi cried inwardly.
