Chu Tiankuo's complexion darkened, having been humiliated by this old Gu Family fellow in front of all of Xiegu City. He forcefully suppressed the fury in his heart.
But the thought of the powerful figure behind him brought a measure of calm.
With that personage supporting me, what do I have to fear? The Gu Family is a trivial matter. A distinguished guest? It must be a bluff.
Chu Tiankuo gently fanned himself with the Folding Fan in his hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
"A distinguished guest?" he scoffed. "Heh... It seems Gu Family Master won't give up until he's faced with utter despair."
"As a junior, I have always respected Uncle Gu as an elder and had no wish for things to turn sour between us like this," Chu Tiankuo continued. "However, it appears Uncle Gu is still clinging to false hope..."
As Chu Tiankuo finished speaking, he nodded to a Chu Family elder behind him.
