"The Mermaid priest may be exaggerating a little. All are welcome as long as they harbor no ill will towards our place of tranquility. We certainly do not disdain anyone."
As Su Tang finished her words, all the dishes had been placed on the table, perfectly arranged in a circle.
Regarding Hai Qin's poisoning, Su Tang had been avoiding it. This made Antuowan a little anxious, and he was about to speak.
But Gaiyin beat him to it. He casually remarked, "It's getting late, let's eat first. We've prepared forks for those of you who may not be used to chopsticks. We can talk after dinner."
This pronouncement settled the matter.
Antuowan had to swallow the words he was about to say, due to Gaiyin's statement.
Gaiyin was the first to use the communal chopsticks to pick a piece of shredded meat for Hai Qin. He smiled faintly, "Abbot, have a taste. The flavor is quite good."
