The crowd vocally expressed their feelings, all faces wearing ingratiating expressions.
For this Mr. Zhou from the Imperial Capital, they had all come to the banquet with the intention of ingratiating themselves with him.
Hearing the crowd's comments, Zhou Li's originally displeased expression finally showed some improvement.
"No rush about the banquet, let me first introduce this person to you all."
Zhou Li's face wore a smile as he raised his hand and pointed at Yin Tian, "This person is called Yin Tian, who is said to be quite a figure back in the provincial city."
"Yin Tian? Never heard of him."
"Must be from some backwater, when did such a character pop up in the provincial city?"
"The way of the world these days, there's always some Tom, Dick, or Harry claiming to be somebody, but whether they really are is anyone's guess."
As Zhou Li listened to the crowd's appraisal of Yin Tian, his smile grew broader, "Yin Tian, you don't seem as famous as I was led to believe."
