ch 84 - Crazy News; Everybody Has Their Own Thoughts 17 (2/2)

After all, these were all elders from the nine top sect. Their being here, even if those from School of Divine Condor were arrogant, they would have to refrain themselves some in front of them.

In front of his old friends, old man Ning felt even more guilty. After all, he was being selfish at the beginning and didn’t notify them right away.

Now that they were teasing him friendly about it, he felt quiet embarrassed. Lucky this was not his first rodeo, he was good at hiding his feelings.

After the laughter died down, old Lin regained his composure, he asked with a bit uncertainty, “Ning lao di, it seems kind of noisy in your place, are the folks from School of Divine Condor still here?”

“Yeah!” replied old man Ning with a bitter smile, “They haven’t left yet. Looks like they will be staying here for a while longer.”

“Oh, why is that?” asked old Lin, baffled.

Old Quan frowned too, “There were quite a few of them. It’s a pretty hefty to provide them with room and board for a prolonged period of time!”

They knew that while old man Ning was well off, his assets were like night and day when comparing with some of the other sects.

They started worry for him, but they also knew that they’d just hurt his ego if they offered to help him out. So they felt obligated to remind him.

“Old brother, let me tell you what have been going on lately!”
