"Because of some trivial matters within the clan, we want Gu Kaiping to come back and clarify things. I hope you can do us a favor and allow this."
He Guangtian raised an eyebrow at them, then turned to ask Gu Kaiping, "Is what he says true?"
Gu Kaiping felt a wave of bitterness. "What the Clan Leader said is entirely true." Many of the people here were his elders. He couldn't refute them; otherwise, if they piled accusations of unfilial behavior on him, he probably wouldn't even be able to keep this minor clerk position.
