"I'm not sure what just happened, but it seems the matter is already settled…" Carla said while Richard remained silent.
"Yes, it's settled," the Grand Ancestor replied.
"In that case, I'll accompany Brother Richard since he has to wait for one day. Grandpa, you should return sooner…"
The Grand Ancestor looked uneasy when he saw Carla's behavior, which seemed overly fond of Richard.
However, he also appeared hesitant to say anything.
Richard suspected that he wanted to advise Carla, but something else might be preventing him from doing so.
In the end, the Grand Ancestor could only nod.
"You may accompany him, but it would be best not to bring him to your house until night. Later, escort him to the guest quarters," the Grand Ancestor said before disappearing.
In the end, he did not stop Richard and Carla's friendship. However, he clearly would not allow anything to go too far.
"Hmph, Grandpa worries too much," Carla said.
