The two clerks at Bai's Rice Shop immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing the old lady appear, "Clan Leader."
They were clearly a bit surprised, evidently not expecting the clan leader to personally intervene in this matter.
On second thought, given the commotion just now, if the clan leader hadn't intervened personally, they surely would have failed.
What clan leader? Chu Jingtang and his two companions were taken aback, speculating, could it be?
Instinctively, they looked towards the distance, where the swirling dust was still rising and pushing closer.
They weren't wrong; the arriving figure was indeed Granny Qi, the clan leader of the Bai Family.
Granny Qi gestured slightly for the two clerks to forgo formalities and then turned to Chu Jingtang and his companions with a kind expression, "May I know the esteemed names of the three of you?"
The three exchanged glances, feeling a bit perplexed, uncertain whether they should deceive others or reveal their true identities.
