Tang Yi's words of thanks were exceptionally sincere.
Zhang Lingyu and Sister Mei Ying exchanged a smile and drained their cups in unison.
After that, the trio chatted and laughed freely, enjoying the hot pot dinner immensely.
Just when they were about to finish, Elder Jiang suddenly realized that Zhang Lingyu and Tang Yi were not by his side and hurriedly came to look for them.
Upon seeing the hot pot in front of him, his stomach, previously filled with drink, suddenly felt ravenous, and he sat down with a laugh to polish off the leftovers.
This left everyone present with faces full of astonishment.
The man before them was none other than the King of Jiangnan!
That he was sharing a hot pot with some juniors—and leftovers at that—would be unbelievable if word got out.
Although Elder Jiang's disciples and subordinates felt emotional, they all smiled with relief upon seeing how happy the old master was eating.
