Liu Chen learned that Old Master Duan was going to hold an auction, he rarely meddled in the affairs of major families in Qing City, and this time his purpose was unknown.
"Your purpose is..." Ma Wentian probed Old Master Duan's intentions.
"Of course, it's to make you reconcile. Isn't that the reason you came here?"
Old Master Duan said with a smile.
"Old Master Duan is right, absolutely right!" In fact, Ma Wentian's purpose for coming here was to have his daughter marry into the Duan family. By leveraging the Duan family's power, the Ma family could become the strongest family in Qing City and incidentally trample the other families underfoot.
Ma Wentian was also a shrewd person; he knew that this auction by Old Master Duan was aimed at fostering harmony among the major families of Qing City, neither weakening nor strengthening any particular one.
"Thank you, Old Master Duan!"
Ma Wentian bowed and left Qiutian County with his daughter.
