Lin Xiao now offered him a chance for change.
It was no longer like when he was with the Zhuge family. Now, with Lin Xiao’s words, everything felt better.
The youthful emotions he had harbored in his heart had lessened considerably.
It was a feeling of encountering a kindred spirit.
From past to present, no matter who it was, he had never felt this strongly, but facing Lin Xiao… he did.
However, his intensity remained gentle and refined. He slowly raised his wine cup, took a sip, and then spoke, "Lin Xiao, I am very happy to know you."
"There's something I don't know if I should say, but… you're happy too soon," Lin Xiao patted his shoulder. "Many people say that knowing me is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to them."
Or perhaps, he himself felt that his very existence was something detestable.
In the Lin family, he was the only one left alive.
Because of him, Luo Qinghan had endured so many years of scorn, Xun'er hadn't seen her father for three years, and few of those connected to the Lin family had met a good end.
In the Northern Territory, brothers had bravely sacrificed themselves to ensure his survival.
He was the Dragon King, the Dragon King of the Northern Territory, and a Dragon King built upon the lives of those who died!
"I feel very fortunate."
Zhuge Lan smiled. Now, he was Zhuge Lan, a person acting entirely by his own will.
Watching the two, Dongfang Bai shook his head and said, "What era is this? You two are still being sentimental?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Lin Xiao retorted, "Nowadays, don't young people all like..."
"Great-grandfather, why are you here?" Dongfang Jingjing asked immediately after walking over, "And who are these two..."
"This is Lin Xiao, Brother Xiao, I've told you about him!" Gu Yunyun pointed at Lin Xiao and said.
"Is… is he the War God?"
Dongfang Jingjing had certainly heard of Lin Xiao. Someone who made Gu Yunyun pine for him couldn't be ordinary.
"Yes… Hello to you all."
After greeting them, Lin Xiao immediately pulled Zhuge Lan over and said, "This is Zhuge Lan, from the martial marquess family of Shu."
"Hello."
Zhuge Lan maintained his smiling demeanor, appearing refined and somewhat mysterious.
Upon seeing Zhuge Lan's appearance, Dongfang Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she very proactively extended her hand for a handshake.
Though somewhat surprised, Zhuge Lan extended his hand.
