Noticing that it was getting late, Ning Feng and Zhou Xueming didn't want Chu Jinzhou to linger too much and instructed the carter to hurry away in the carriage.
Zhou Xueming watched the carriage recede into the distance before returning to the small courtyard to attend to the other guests.
Zhou Xueming didn't voluntarily discuss Chu Jinzhou's earlier presence, and no one else dared to ask either.
It was only a young man who had accompanied his master to the gathering that asked in a whisper once Zhou Xueming had entered the main hall, "Who was that imposing person just now, and what kind of an influential person would Zhou Xueming know?"
"You are young and wouldn't know. Zhou Xueming was highly esteemed in the past, having passed the imperial examination, and even held a post in the capital city. We may not understand his exact status, but it was undoubtedly a prestigious one," someone explained in a low voice.
