After a moment, the gate slowly opened, and an elderly man, approximately over fifty years old, walked out from the courtyard.
"Patriarch Tutian, we're truly sorry, but our Family Head has said that the Anpei Family will not be involved in the feud between your family and An Yiqing. Our Anpei Family is no longer what it used to be during the days of the Qingming Ancestor; our power has greatly diminished. We ask for your understanding, farewell, we won't see you off."
After speaking, the elderly man didn't wait for a response and quickly shut the door behind him as he returned to the courtyard.
The three men stared at the tightly closed gate for a while, unwillingly turned around. If An Yiqing were here at this moment, she would find one of the men very familiar.
