The guesthouse bustled with lively chatter as Chen Xu tactfully accepted the tokens of gratitude from each family.
In the end, only the gift from Wang Xian was completely refused by him.
Under the watchful eyes of the public and the major aristocratic families, Wang Xian ultimately could not force the gift upon him.
Yet, his trip was not in vain, at least his attitude was made clear.
Wang Xian sighed deeply and personally bowed to the crowd, saying, "The wicked one has been unruly, now detained by Prefect Feng, which he deserves.
However, the matters of the Ghost Market surely have schemers behind the scenes; our Wang Family will thoroughly investigate this to provide an explanation to everyone!
I also hope everyone remains calm and doesn't fall into the schemers' traps."
Among the major families, some responded with a smiling bow, some remained silent, and others did not conceal their disdain with a cold snort.
Finally, all the glamour dispersed.
