People in the Imperial City always kept their eye on the course of events.
After Ou Xiangtian and the others found out that Zhen Bao Pavilion had booked the whole Phoenix Restaurant for Chu Liuyue, they immediately changed their attitude and came without stopping.
The news of their arrival caused many—who had previously maintained a neutral stance—to fall in line and come one after the other. They couldn't afford to offend the Crown Prince and the Chu family, but the consequences of offending Zhen Bao Pavilion were much worse!
When the Crown Prince had suffered a loss at Zhen Bao Pavilion, he hadn't been able to retaliate.
As such, people from all over Imperial City began to arrive in waves. By noon, the large Phoenix Restaurant was actually filled to the brim.
"Manager, all the private rooms on the second floor have been filled up. The first floor is also full. We still have a dozen guests outside yet to be seated!"
