Since the situation was awkward, Tan Cai'er and Granny Hua had wanted to leave. Yet Lu Hou'er earnestly invited them to rest here for a day or two, hinting that the great figure behind him might come to see them—and bore them no ill will.
With that said, even if Tan Cai'er had wanted to leave, she was no longer willing to do so.
As a member of the Tan Family, even as a woman, she still possessed fearless courage and a decisive nature.
A Great Grandmaster was, in this day and age, an invincible existence in the martial world. Even the Tan Family had to treat such a person with utmost gravity.
If they could learn sooner about his conduct, character, and even his intentions and attitude toward the Tan Family, then even taking some risks would be worthwhile.
Granny Hua's clouded eyes turned. She naturally understood Tan Cai'er's thoughts, and as she hesitated, she saw the resolve in the young woman's eyes.
So be it. Since that was the case, why should this old woman begrudge this withered body of hers?
Of course, the more important reason was that Granny Hua had grown wise with age. With her decades of experience and worldly knowledge, she could naturally judge that there might be risks in Tan Cai'er remaining at Lu Family Manor this time, but they would certainly not be great.
Having received their agreement, Lu Hou'er did not dare show the slightest neglect. He ordered the manor steward to prepare rooms for Tan Cai'er and Granny Hua, along with all the daily necessities women might need.
The affairs of the world were often wondrous. Beitang Xing and Old Daoist Liu, who ought to have been resting in the deep of night, happened to be strolling and talking outside.
