Hao stepped up to the billiard table, and turned to the crowd.
"Alright, everyone, settle down. Let's not cause an indoor explosion."
Hao didn't speak loudly, but everyone went silent anyway.
Only for the applause to break out all over again a second later.
He shook his head, helpless, a faint smile forming on his face.
They were clearly too stubborn to stay quiet, but he let them be.
After all, what harm was there in letting them enjoy the moment?
Elder Bai Qingshui had already walked forward, standing beside Ji Yunzhi. He didn't speak much, but gave the young man a light shoulder tap.
There was no need for long words. That gesture alone was louder than a hundred compliments.
Another round of claps followed.
Hao waited, letting the energy of the room build up and settle before continuing.
