Hoping for Gu Yelin, such an esteemed deity, to stand at the door to receive guests was certainly out of the question, so having no alternative, An Zhihang could only let him go inside, claiming it was to maintain the peace of the banquet.
Indeed, with the God of Slaughter standing there, within two meters of him as the center, the place was utterly empty, and even though there were many young ladies smitten with him, they did not dare to approach, fearful that Gu Yelin would punch their faces in just like he did to Gu Siqing.
Kong Shi, who had been busy dealing with guests inside the banquet hall, couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction at the sight of Gu Yelin. A real man, indeed, who could nip vixens in the bud all by himself!
After a while, most of the guests invited by the An Family had arrived, with only some major families yet to come.
At the banquet, it was an unspoken rule for the heavyweights to make their entrance later.
At five fifty, right outside the banquet hall, a hearty laugh was heard, followed by an elderly voice that rang out: "Congratulations to Commander An for finding his precious granddaughter, what a joyous occasion! You rascal, hurry up and bring the gift over!"
All eyes turned to see a red-clothed, wickedly handsome man supporting an elderly person with a robust spirit into the banquet hall.
Upon seeing them, An Zisheng and Kong Shi exchanged a few words with those beside them, and then hurried over towards the elderly man.
"Old Master Bai, what brings you here in person?" An Zisheng asked politely with a cultured smile.
Old Master Bai waved his hand, "How could I not come to such a grand celebration at the An Family?"
Although their relations were not as close as those between the Bai Family and the Gu Family, Old Master An of the An Family and Old Master Bai of the Bai Family were good friends with similar interests, often visiting each other in the past.
An Zisheng smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for coming personally, Old Bai. Please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to call my father. He will be delighted to see you!" After saying this, he turned his head to look at Bai Yiming, who stood beside Old Master Bai, and said in surprise, "Is this Yiming? It’s been several years, and you’ve grown so much! I often hear my two rascals at home talking about you, so young and promising, well done!"
Bai Yiming, who had by that time already shed his unruly nature and had become a genteel gentleman, smiled gently and said respectfully to An Zisheng, "Uncle An is too kind. Yiming is still young and has much to learn. By the way, Uncle, has Xiao Qing arrived yet?" As he spoke, Bai Yiming pretended to look up discreetly for that lovely figure he cherished in his heart.
An Zisheng looked at Bai Yiming, who appeared lovelorn, and a glint flashed in his eyes as he remembered the rumors.
Could it be that the young man from the Bai Family was truly interested in his precious daughter? Wasn’t he known for gallivanting through the flowers without a sense of attachment? Had he changed his ways?
Old Master Bai looked at his grandson, who seemed to have lost his soul, with a face that seemed to be angry at his lack of competition and glared at him fiercely.
At that moment, Elder An, who had received the news, came downstairs from the second floor.
"Old Bai, how have you been feeling lately?" Elder An and Old Lady An strode over, looking radiant and hardly like people in their seventies.
Old Master Bai, seeing how much younger Elder An and Old Lady An appeared, couldn’t help but widen his eyes: "Commander An, what happened... How have you become so young?"
"Haha! Old Bai, you’re behind the times, aren’t you? I’ve become this young because of the Qinglu Beauty Elixir, specially concocted by my beloved granddaughter, very effective, you should try it," proudly said Elder An with a chuckle, touching the much younger-looking skin on his face.
Old Master Bai had long heard about Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, and many people around him had clamored to buy their products. But these days, he had not been feeling well and hadn’t gone out, and so the matter of the Qinglu Beauty Elixir had slipped his mind.
