The old man had his hair tied up into a topknot, with a jade hairpin inserted, forming a Tai Chi bun, exuding an immortal-like temperament.
Chen was critiquing Bai Xiaosheng, his mouth dry from talking, and was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat. Upon seeing the old man, he was so startled that he gulped down the hot tea, spat it out, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed repeatedly, "Pang, Pang, Master Pang..."
The elderly visitor was indeed the esteemed carving artist everyone had been discussing!
Mrs. Lin widened her eyes upon hearing the name.
At this moment, Master Pang, smiling, walked in and caught sight of Bai Xiaosheng rising to his feet. Someone next to him whispered a few words into his ear.
The master immediately quickened his steps toward Bai Xiaosheng. To everyone's astonishment, the master offered his hand and shook hands with Bai Xiaosheng.
