Gu Xiyue saw Gu Zhiqi nod and then looked at Ma Tao and Jin Xiaolan, speaking politely and distantly, "Sorry to trouble both of you for coming here. You may go back and rest now."
Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, then said with displeasure, "What is this? Are we just your playthings? You want us to come, we come. You want us to leave, we leave. What do you think we are?"
Standing beside him, Jin Xiaolan was quite willing, "Well, I'll head off first then. There's a lot going on lately, I need to get back early to rest. I won't accompany everyone here."
After saying this, Jin Xiaolan pulled the dissatisfied Ma Tao and left.
Because of the multiple interruptions by Jin Xiaolan and Ma Tao, the earlier introductions were not completed. So, after they left, Gu Xiyue introduced Gu Zhiqi to the remaining three.
"This is my younger sister, Gu Zhiqi, who will be guiding you in refining pills. From now on, you'll need to follow her instructions and I ask for your full cooperation."
