Since no word of his presence had spread, it was likely Xu Ke did not want his identity exposed. Contemplating this, Old Yun reached a conclusion, patted his granddaughter’s hand on his arm, and smilingly said, "Don’t be rude to the guest. Is this what I always teach you? Go greet him." Though seemingly angry, Old Yun gave his granddaughter a knowing
