"If only I could request Brother Xu to accompany me on my journey to the Northern Territory, and upon arrival, let Brother Xu decide to stay or leave as he pleases, would that be acceptable?"
Xu Qing still shook his head in refusal.
"Old Hu from the Funeral Shop on the street, I treat him as a senior with filial respect. He is already old, and his health is poor. I have promised to take care of him and give him a proper burial, so I truly cannot free myself."
"Is there such a matter? Then it was indeed my mistake."
Seeing Zhu Huai'an's embarrassed look, Xu Qing eased the atmosphere:
"These are all small matters. The main issue is that my cousin still depends on me to earn money to support her. You have no idea how much she eats in one meal. Such a big fish is not even enough for her in one bite...."
"Splash!" Just as Xu Qing was talking about how his cousin was gluttonous, a feathered shuttlecock suddenly flew from afar.
Xu Qing casually swatted it down.
