Dongfang Jingjing stared at him.
Under Dongfang Jingjing's gaze, Wang Qiran dared not speak. A sheepish grin on his face, he lowered his voice and weakly said, "I... I merely... repeated your original intention..."
"Then are you eating or not? I'm starving anyway." Once Dongfang Jingjing revealed her pampered upbringing, how could she endure such hardship? She was clearly hungry but still had to obediently queue for an hour? She certainly couldn't stand it.
Upon hearing Dongfang Jingjing's words, Wang Qiran quickly nodded, "Eating, eating."
Zhuge Lan smoothed things over slightly, "It's fine, eating is more important."
He might not care about food, but the others, apart from him, were not capable of subsisting on air.
Ning Fengzhi then observed Dongfang Jingjing with some curiosity. This girl's background was extraordinary!
Not to mention her background, her family wealth was definitely substantial!
He himself would be reluctant to spend fifty thousand to tease the people outside. This Dongfang Jingjing probably had tens of millions in assets?
Had Lin Xiao introduced him to a rich and beautiful woman?
"Come, come, perfect. Before the dishes are served, let me tell you, this restaurant is rumored to have a hundred-year history in Shashi, and for these hundred years, it has been passed down to the present. Its taste is unique and authentic, ranking first on Shashi's must-eat list!" Ning Fengzhi said as he took the menu to order.
"What this handsome gentleman said is right. Our restaurant celebrated its centennial anniversary last month. It's a solid hundred-year-old establishment," the waiter chimed in immediately. "We guarantee you'll taste the most authentic Shashi cuisine."
"That's good then."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jingjing became even more expectant. A restaurant that had been passed down for a century, with so many people eager to dine there, must be excellent. She also wanted to properly taste what local cuisine was like.
Although the food she had in Modu was good, it was still lacking something, as it had been modified to suit Modu tastes.
"Right, if you few are not particularly fond of spicy food, I'll inform the kitchen to make it mildly spicy. I guarantee you'll experience the flavor of Shashi cuisine without being overwhelmed by excessive heat," the waiter continued.
Indeed, after the incident at the entrance, the waiter was incredibly proactive.
"Then I'll trouble you..." Dongfang Jingjing's eyes scanned the fiery red pictures on the menu, and she felt her mouth watering.
Everything looked delicious.
After the waiter left, Ning Fengzhi turned to Zhuge Lan and asked, "Right, since your name is Zhuge Lan, you must be a descendant of the Zhuge family of Shu, from the Wuhou lineage, right?"
He wasn't foolish. Not many people used the surname Zhuge. Where in the country were people with this surname most common? Naturally, it was in Shu.
Only those from the Wuhou lineage in Shu could possess such demeanor and emit such fluctuations in cultivation.
"Yes, the Wuhou School, Zhuge Lan," Zhuge Lan replied with a nod, then observed Ning Fengzhi. He couldn't discern Ning Fengzhi's origins.
"The Ning family... the Nether Doctor lineage." Ning Fengzhi, aware of Zhuge Lan's scrutiny, stated his origin straightforwardly.
"Nether Doctor lineage? The Ning family? Oh! Then your medical skills must be very impressive, right?" Zhuge Lan recalled the Nether Doctor.
