Overall, today's birthday party was a great occasion for both the host and the guests. As dusk fell, Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan saw off the guests. Shi Mingli was the last to leave, looking as if hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?" Shen Qingmang asked.
"The children have grown up," said Shi Mingli.
"yes."
Shen Qingmang waited for his next words, but he just said that and left, leaving her confused.
"What do you think Senior Brother meant by this? What did he hear?"
Gu Suihan shook his head. "I don't know. I don't have the ability to read minds. I'm sorry to disappoint Master."
Shen Qingmang laughed. "You're an old married couple, why are you still jealous?"
"You looked at Shi Mingli a lot today."
"That's because the eldest brother has been distracted for a while. He rarely shows his emotions directly on his face.

"If there really was something wrong, he wouldn't hide it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They are all adults now, so why should we care?"
"You sound like an old man saying this." She scratched Gu Suihan's chin.
"Madam, do you think I'm too old? I'm useless?"
"You're older than me now anyway."
"Really?" Gu Suihan looked meaningfully.

The next day, Yaoyao went to Wendao Peak to find Yiqing, and Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan watched Canggen for guidance. Canggen, with his new sword, was full of fighting spirit and readily agreed to fight them. However, after a day, the energetic young man turned into a drooping seedling.
Only then did he realize that his elders had not given him their full support. He was deeply shocked and said that he wanted to go into seclusion to further his studies.
Gu Suihan readily agreed. Shen Qingmang was a little reluctant, but he also respected his idea. Yaoyao cried for several days, but Shen Qingmang found that she seemed to be in a better mood after Canggeng's retreat.
Why is this?
