Lu Sisi halted momentarily, his ingratiating smile freezing on his face. He stuttered out a sigh and, seeing the two men behind the young master both staring at him with angry, round eyes, he nodded with difficulty and could only respond:
"The young master is right! My Lu Family will follow the instructions..."
No sooner had Lu Sisi spoken than the young master of the Yu Family nodded and smiled at him, at which Lu Sisi got the hint. He took out a few spirit stones from the brocade pouch at his waist, and someone behind the young master stepped forward to accept them. Lu Sisi said obsequiously:
"It's a bother for the young master to come all this way to notify our family. These few spirit stones are but a small token of my respect..."
"Hmm."
The young master of the Yu Family turned around with a swish of his sleeve, speaking softly:
"Three days from now at Lake Zhongzhou, my Yu Family will be hosting a banquet for all the noble families. The elder must not forget to attend."
