In Ning's Family separate estate,
Compared to the tension in Luoyan Village, the atmosphere within Ning's estate was utterly peaceful, illuminated brightly.
Music and dances filled the air, accompanied by the sound of strings and bamboo instruments.
Guests filled the high seats, engaging in laughter and conversation.
As the wine passed around for the third time, Ning Zhuoyue knelt at the desk, lifting his cup in a toast towards Venerable Priest Liao Chen, who was sitting diagonally opposite him.
"Venerable Priest, Zhuoyue toasts you. Please drink this cup full, as a small token of my respect. I hope you won't refuse. Please!"
Venerable Priest Liao Chen took the wine and turned to toast Ning Changyuan, who was sitting directly above him.
"Good! Very good! Brother Ning, I truly didn't expect this! It's been many years since we last met, and now to see that you have such an elegant son. Indeed, a tiger father does not beget a dog son! Remarkable, truly remarkable!"
