Xiao Yichen's face was all bitter smiles, and it was a good while before he managed, "Uncle Tian, this... this..."
Tian Buhui snorted, his round face tilted skyward, and said not a word. Seeing him in this state, Xiao Yichen shook his head inwardly and could only say, "Yes. When I return today, I shall of course report to my master and ask him to decide the matter."
Tian Buhui said nothing, and his expression did not change; he only nodded, but inwardly he was immensely pleased and secretly gloating.
Xiao Yichen steadied himself, then said, "Now then, Uncle Tian, there is this second matter, which is even more important than the last. My master has repeatedly impressed it upon me: please, Uncle Tian, think it over carefully before you answer."
Seeing Xiao Yichen's grave expression, so different from before, Tian Buhui sensed that this matter must be no small thing. He paused, then nodded. "Oh? What is so serious? Speak."
