"What's there to be so excited about? Seeing me again and realizing I don't have three heads and six arms?" Lin Xiao chuckled, "I'm just an ordinary person."
"No, no, no, you're not ordinary at all!" Dongfang Jingjing said quickly, "Great-grandfather said that without you, the northern part of Longguo would be in chaos right now! You defended the north, and you were the one who drove away those who wanted to cause trouble for Longguo not too long ago!"
"He also said you are the undisputed hero of Longguo today, that no one can compare to you, and that with you, Longguo has a future..." Dongfang Jingjing blinked, looking at Lin Xiao with even greater excitement.
Before, her great-grandfather had told her a lot about Lin Xiao, some of which made her blood boil.
"...He thinks too highly of me." Lin Xiao gave a dry laugh, but the smile on his face was genuine. After all, who doesn't like to hear good things about themselves?
Especially when the one saying good things is a senior.
"If you praise him any more, his mouth will probably be reaching his ears soon," Zhuge Lan said with a smile, seeing this.
"Ahem, give me some face," Lin Xiao said quickly, then he walked over to Yue Wanwan, "I haven't had the chance to ask your name yet. Honestly, meeting a fellow disciple from the Hehuan Sect here is beyond my expectation."
Before this, not even Zhu Guangyu had given him any information about the Hehuan Sect in this area.
"I am Yue Wanwan, the personal disciple of the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect... It's normal for the War God not to know. After all, in Shashi, we are just law-abiding ordinary people and have never revealed ourselves," Yue Wanwan said, while continuously observing Lin Xiao.
His cultivation was unfathomable.
Furthermore, every word, every action seemed to contain something extraordinary, something she was completely incapable of resisting.
When Lin Xiao had entered just now, her charm technique had not stopped, but Lin Xiao seemed to have not been affected by her charm technique even for a moment.
It was as if she had done nothing.
"That makes sense," Lin Xiao understood, this was clearly a case of "the great hermit hiding in the market."
"Also... Your Excellency the War God, you don't need to pay for everything. Originally, this place wasn't open to the public today; it's just for the sisters of the sect to hang out together. Normally, anyone who comes here unknowingly would be sent away by our charm technique to protect our secrets. But today, it seems no one can leave." Yue Wanwan's eyes rolled, and her voice became charming. She walked to Lin Xiao's side, "I wonder if Your Excellency the War God would do me the honor of sharing a drink?"
"Just call me Lin Xiao. Don't call me by titles like War God; it feels strange," Lin Xiao said, then he readily agreed, "Since Miss Yue invites, I naturally cannot refuse. Come."
With that, the two sat down at the table.
"Ah... Senior sister got there first!"
"Exactly! It's too unfair, using her position as the eldest sister to get ahead. I also want to drink, eat, and watch movies with Brother Lin Xiao..."
"Yes! He's an idol! So much more handsome than that 'little chicken' or 'little war'! Wuwuwu, no, I'm going too!"
