"Ah, Gu, you've arrived? Welcome, welcome!" Chen Xiaozhang's face was a mask of enthusiasm.
He acted as if he were welcoming a high-ranking Federation official on an inspection tour.
But inwardly, he was extremely irritated. 'These well-connected brats are the hardest to handle. We don't have time to play games with her.'
Chen Xiaozhang's tone shifted abruptly. "Gu, you see... we're in the middle of a very important, urgent meeting. We really can't entertain you right now..."
"How about this? Why don't you let Master Wang show you around the base?"
His subtext was crystal clear: 'Little girl, this is no place for you. Stop making a fuss and go play somewhere else!'
"Yes, that's right!"
Master Wang chimed in, approaching Gu Yuexi with a benevolent expression. "Gu, you must be tired after your long journey from Jiang City. You'd like to tour the Spirit Medicine Base, is that it? No problem! I'll take you myself!"
