In the end, it was Old Gao who came to his senses first. As he had been standing in the back and hadn't said anything all this while, he had had a low sense of presence, but he had also been paying close attention to everything that was going on, seeing that Di Tou didn't seem to be punishing them, but in fact was even cutting them some slack, he couldn't help but calm down. Speaking up while sending glances at the other three, "Thank you Senior Mu for your consideration."
Hearing this, the other three also quickly joined in.
Seeing this, Di Tou chuckled and started heading out, "Alright, I'll leave the rest to you all to figure out, just remember to return before nightfall."
Passing by Old Mai on the way out, Di Tou couldn't help but pause and quietly add, "Haha, I hope my words weren't too grating on the ears."
