However, he harbored no resentment and still held Master Wu in high esteem.
Liu Siyun was also shocked. This Master Wu was a titan of a profession! She never expected that Li Donglai would actually be able to invite such a great figure!
Master Wu seemed quite pleased with the grandfather and grandson's reaction, waving his hand and saying, "That's all in the past. As for being called the father of porcelain, that's just flattery. I've been retired for several years and don't concern myself with industry matters. If it weren't for Young Master Li's sincere invitation, I would never have stepped forward!"
Since he was being paid, he naturally had to speak on their behalf. Master Wu knew that Li Donglai wanted to curry favor with the Liu family, so he made his intentions clear at that moment.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyi and his grandson immediately looked over at Li Dong.
Liu Zhongyi said with some gratitude, "Young Master Li, you're so kind!"
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Not at all! Don't be so polite, sir. Miss Liu and I are friends. I'm willing to do anything for Miss Liu!"
"Wow, isn't that a bit too blatant?"
"Young Master Li is so kind!"
"Miss Liu is so lucky!"

Moreover, the news about the treasure-fighting competition was only released yesterday.
Li Shao traveled back and forth to Yandu in one day, which was quite a journey. As the dignified God of Wealth of the Martial Alliance, the young master of the Li family, he was actually willing to go to such lengths for a woman. It was truly enviable!
Among the wealthy young men present, quite a few harbored feelings for Liu Siyun.
But at this moment, a feeling of frustration arose spontaneously.
Has the world of simps really gotten this bad?
This is too difficult!
Liu Siyun blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
Actually, he had no feelings for Li Donglai at all and didn't know why the other party did this.
Could it be that I did something wrong or sent the wrong signal that led to a misunderstanding?
Liu Siyun kept reflecting on her actions.
At this moment, Master Wu spoke up again, "Mr. Liu, this contest consists of three rounds: calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and jade. As you probably know, I am most skilled in porcelain, so I will take the porcelain round!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyi and his grandson exchanged a glance, their expressions suddenly turning awkward.
Master Wu frowned. "What? Do you have other plans?"
"Uh..."
Liu Zhongyi's expression grew increasingly troubled.
Liu Siyun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master Wu, we already decided on these three rounds yesterday! The porcelain round will be handled by someone else!"
Upon hearing this, Master Wu and everyone present were stunned!
