Gu Zhan frowned slightly, feeling that something wasn't right; this Wan Yan was being far too enthusiastic, so much so that anyone with common sense could sense something was amiss.
"No need to stand around," Wan Yan didn't give Gu Zhan a chance to speak, directly beckoning the group, saying, "Come on in, the banquet is ready. I am newly arrived, and have always wanted to find an opportunity to host my colleagues. I hope you'll all look after me in the days to come."
"Lord Wan, please!"
"Lord Wan, please!"
The crowd all courteously invited Wan Yan in.
Wan Yan, for his part, didn't feign excessive humility and stepped forward directly, but stuck close to Gu Zhan, showing overt friendliness, saying, "Come, come, Brother Gu, let's walk together."
Gu Zhan hurriedly said, "Lord, after you."
