Lin Xiao was pleased with this reaction. Since they knew who he was, they should stop fighting. He could then play the role of a peacemaker.
He walked over to Zhuge Lan's side. "I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
"Yes," Zhuge Lan smiled slightly. "This time, at your base camp, you're the host, aren't you?"
"Of course. I came immediately just in case you got into unnecessary conflicts," Lin Xiao said. While speaking, he primarily observed Wang Qiran, Ning Fengzhi, and Xiao Yan. He wasn't worried about Zhuge Lan, but none of these three seemed trustworthy, especially Ning Fengzhi.
However, he didn't expect someone to make a mistake before Ning Fengzhi could.
"Just now, Xiao Yan might have spoken carelessly, which made this lady unhappy. I hope you'll let it slide for my sake," Lin Xiao finally said to Yue Wanwan.
"Since Mr. Lin has spoken, I won't bother with him," Yue Wanwan knew she had no chance to cause trouble for them the moment she saw Lin Xiao arrive.
This was Lin Xiao, the War God of Longguo, whose status in both the mundane world and the ancient martial arts world was extraordinary!
Especially since she had heard from her ancestor a few days ago that this person possessed a secret of great importance.
To enter the Heaven Ranking, the first thing one had to do was build a good relationship with Lin Xiao. Otherwise, in this era, one might never have the chance to enter the Heaven Ranking in this lifetime.
"Thank you."
Lin Xiao quickly said, "To express my apologies, all expenses for the entire venue are on me."
"Really?!"
Wang Qiran's eyes lit up at this. He had been hesitant about whether to order modestly earlier. His friend said he was treating, but he couldn't bring himself to order extravagantly. What if he had to pay a portion of the expensive items in the end? He couldn't afford that.
Now, with Lin Xiao's appearance and his statement, he had no pressure.
A person like him kept his word!
His surprised exclamation drew everyone's attention to him.
Yue Wanwan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Did this person really dare?
For such a man to be associated with Lin Xiao, his ancestors must have had incredibly good fortune.
Did someone really dare to take advantage of Lin Xiao at a time like this?
"Really."
Lin Xiao didn't seem to mind.
After pondering for a moment, Ning Fengzhi, influenced by Wang Qiran's words, also made a decisive choice. To not take advantage of freebies at such a moment would be foolish! Since the entire venue was free, why shouldn't he indulge himself?
However, one person's reaction was particularly unique.
Dongfang Jingjing hid behind Zhuge Lan, appearing somewhat shy, her gaze towards Lin Xiao filled with bashfulness and a hint of excitement.
"What's wrong?" Zhuge Lan asked curiously.
In all his years of knowing Dongfang Jingjing, he had never seen her react this way. He knew she was a naturally shy girl who had received the best education. However, he had never heard that she was an admirer of Lin Xiao.
"It's nothing... I'm just a bit excited to see the War God again," Dongfang Jingjing said, lowering her head.
