The person previously speaking with Mr. Nangong noticed Qian Youquan approaching and, sensing it might not be convenient for them to converse in front of others, discreetly excused himself. The onlookers also respectfully kept their distance from these two influential figures.
Mr. Nangong's face immediately lit up with a smile at the mention of this, his aged face resembling a wilted chrysanthemum in his joy.
Qian Youquan raised his eyebrows subtly, perplexed as to what could make Old Master Nangong so delighted. Before he could voice his question, however, Old Master Nangong had already begun to eagerly share.
"Indeed, I was ill a while ago, but I have been treated by a Divine Doctor. Without his help, I might not have been able to attend today's banquet," Mr. Nangong acknowledged the favor from Chu Ge. He wished not only to repay Chu Ge but also to help him expand his network.
