Shocked back into reality by Gu Changsheng's question, the shopkeeper immediately lowered his head and walked out from behind the counter, bowing respectfully, "I didn't know we had such honored guests visiting, my apologies for not greeting you properly! Please do forgive us!"
This abrupt shift from impudence to politeness left Gu Changsheng feeling perplexed; he cocked his head and exchanged a confused glance with Zhou Mu.
"Honored guest, this is your gold, please take it back!" The shopkeeper picked up Gu Changsheng's gold from the counter, holding it in both hands and presenting it respectfully, never daring to look Gu Changsheng in the eye again from start to finish.
Absently accepting his gold, Gu Changsheng's mouth twitched involuntarily.
What's the meaning of all this commotion?
"Waiter, have you not quickly tidied up the Tian character number one room for our honored guest?" Without waiting for Gu Changsheng to speak, the shopkeeper shouted upstairs.
