After listening, Master Xia looked at the resolute expression on Gu Jin'an, then turned to Gu Jinli, who seemed to be enjoying the drama. He felt a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing that this problem wouldn't end well today. He set aside his pride as a Madman and pleaded with Gu Jin'an, "Good Brother An, this time it's our fault for not thinking thoroughly and not informing your family in advance. Rest assured, it won't happen again. Could you give me another chance?"
Gu Jin'an shook his head: "Master Xia, there is a saying, 'three strikes and you're out.' This is already the third time; your chances are up."
Three years ago, the Xia couple had already overstepped twice, and those incidents were settled with the temple master's guarantee. But this being the third time, if they let it slide again, they would be pushovers.
But neither Gu Jin'an nor Gu Jinli were pushovers; they would not compromise again.
