Everyone couldn't help but stare as Old Guan approached them and took a seat beside Surnamed Zhi with a slight smile on his face. "I'm sorry for being late. I've almost overslept."
"You… overslept?" Tang Ye choked out with much difficulty. Then whose tragic screams had he heard last night? Who was the figure he had seen running out of Old Guan's room? It couldn't be that he was hallucinating… right?!
"Yeah," Old Guan let out a hoarse chuckle that sent chills down their spine. It just sounded… wrong, in more ways than one. "I apologize for my unsightly behavior last night. I was not usually like that. I am an artisan, you see. Before coming here, I've just completed a huge order and haven't had the time to rest yet. I guess the shock and sleep deprivation got the best out of me, I ended up making a joke out of myself. Now that I've gotten a good night's sleep, I can finally think clearly again."
