"Wuh, he-ah..."
Yi Yong'an stretched out a trembling hand toward Yi Shuyuan, who had already walked away, then rushed straight outside. At his advanced age, he could no longer run fast, and his overwhelming excitement made him unsteady on his feet.
This gave the Yi residence's servants at the entrance, as well as Yi Xuan, quite a fright.

"Sir, Yong'an seems to have recognized you."
"Mm!"
Yi Shuyuan walked slowly
