Chapter 1016 Feast

As night falls, the lights are on.

The old house of the Ji family was decorated with lights and full of joy.

Tonight, a grand banquet will be held here to entertain the returning king - Ye Tianming.

In the center of the old house, the palace-like building was transformed into a huge banquet hall.

The crystal chandeliers shine brightly, illuminating the red carpet that covers the entire venue, which is extremely luxurious.

Dozens of round tables were neatly arranged, each covered with a white tablecloth and set with exquisite tableware, wine and delicacies.

Waiters in uniform were walking around, making final preparations for the feast.

When Ye Tianming left the hotel, the two sisters were still sleeping soundly.

He tucked in the quilt for them and then went to the banquet hall alone.

All the members of the Ji family had gathered in the banquet hall. They were all dressed in fancy clothes and chatting and laughing.

When Ye Tianming appeared, the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Tianming, you're here!" Ji Gang was the first to come forward, his face full of smiles, without any trace of the dejected look he had on Longhu Mountain.

"Mr. Ye!"

"Master Ye!"

……

Various names were heard one after another, mixed with flattery and fawning, which made Ye Tianming frown slightly.

Those members of the Ji family who once ridiculed him and even took advantage of his misfortune, now surround him like pugs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy. The speed at which they changed their faces was truly astonishing.

"Everyone, don't be polite, just feel free to do as you please." Ye Tianming said lightly, then sat down at the main table.

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Mayor of Tianhai City, Zhao Tianlong is here!"

Following a loud shout, a tall middle-aged man in a black suit walked in with great strides.

He has a square face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He is intimidating without even getting angry, and exudes the aura of a superior.

Zhao Tianlong was followed by several followers, one of whom was a young man holding an exquisite wooden box, which apparently contained a valuable gift.

"Mayor Zhao, welcome, welcome. It's an honor for us to have you attend our Ji family's birthday party!" Ji Gang hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Master Ji, you are too polite. Today is the celebration banquet held by the Ji family for Mr. Ye, so I should come to congratulate him. What's more, Mr. Ye is here today, and as the mayor, I have the opportunity to meet a young talent like Mr. Ye in person!"

As he said that, he walked straight to Ye Tianming and extended his right hand.

"Mr. Ye, I have long heard of your great name. It really is as good as the reputation!"

Ye Tianming smiled faintly, shook hands with Zhao Tianlong in a dignified manner, and said, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for your praise."

Zhao Tianlong looked at Ye Tianming deeply and nodded secretly in his heart.

Ye Tianming is young, but so calm and experienced. Facing the head of the city, he does not show any panic or flattery. Such a magnanimity is truly rare.

He was about to say something else, but at this moment, there was another commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, and this time the noise was louder than before, even drowning out the noisy sounds in the banquet hall.

"Deputy Governor of Hidden Dragon Division, Lin Xiaotian is here!"

Following this announcement, everyone was stunned.

The Hidden Dragon Division is an existence that is above secular power. Even Zhao Tianlong, the mayor of Tianhai City, has to be courteous in front of the people of the Hidden Dragon Division.

As the deputy governor of the Hidden Dragon Division, Lin Xiaotian is in a high position of power. With just one stomp of his feet, the whole Tianhai City will tremble. How could he suddenly appear here?

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, a burly middle-aged man in a black Tang suit, surrounded by a group of black-clad bodyguards, strode into the banquet hall.

He had a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Dad!" When Lin Qingfeng saw the person coming, her eyes suddenly lit up. She shouted in surprise and quickly stood up from her seat.

Lin Xiaotian nodded slightly at her, then turned his gaze to Ye Tianming, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

Just when everyone thought he would walk straight towards Ye Tianming, he suddenly stopped, glanced around the banquet hall, and asked in a deep voice: "Governor of Hidden Dragon Division has arrived, why is there no one to greet him?"

Although his voice was not loud, it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, and everyone's face changed immediately.

The Governor of Hidden Dragon Division! He...he is here too?!

The crowd automatically parted like a tide, and everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of the banquet hall.

A man in his fifties, wearing a white robe, walked in with the gait of a dragon or a tiger.

He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, neatly-groomed black hair, and exuded an ethereal aura. He was out of place in this noisy banquet, yet people could not ignore his presence.

He is none other than Chu Tianhe, the governor of Hidden Dragon Division, who is known as the “contemporary swordsman”!

Chu Tianhe's gaze looked around and finally fell on Ye Tianming. His originally indifferent expression was instantly replaced by a hint of excitement and relief.

He walked quickly to Ye Tianming, held his hand tightly, and said in a loud voice: "Friend Ye, congratulations on obtaining the Kunpeng inheritance! It is true that the disciple is better than the master! I, Chu Tianhe, admire you!"

There was a dead silence in the banquet hall. Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them in amazement, as if they were under a spell.

They simply couldn't believe their eyes and ears. The high-ranking Governor Chu, who was known for his rudeness, was so enthusiastic about an unknown young man that he even ignored the capital of Zhao City?

This simply subverted their cognition!

Everyone in the Ji family was completely dumbfounded, as if they were struck by lightning.

They originally thought that inviting Zhao Tianlong was already a great honor, enough to make Ye Tianming famous throughout the world, but they never expected that they would actually attract the great god, the Governor of the Hidden Dragon Division!

Especially Ji Gang, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

He had witnessed Chu Tianhe's power with his own eyes. Once, one of his business partners offended someone from the Hidden Dragon Division and was completely banned by Chu Tianhe with just one sentence. From then on, his family was destroyed and he disappeared without a trace.

And now, this extremely powerful person is so polite to Ye Tianming. It seems that Ye Tianming's future is really as Qingwan said, the future is definitely limitless!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Thinking of their previous wavering attitude and stance towards Ye Tianming, he felt a little scared.

If Qingwan had not been so resolute and tried to stop them, I'm afraid that this family would have really been dancing on the edge of a cliff and would have been in danger long ago.

It seems that I really need to have a good relationship with Ye Tianming in the future!
