The crowd vocally expressed their feelings, all faces wearing ingratiating expressions.
For this Mr. Zhou from the Imperial Capital, they had all co to the banquet with the intention of ingratiating themselves with him.
Hearing the crowd’s comnts, Zhou Li’s originally displeased expression finally showed so improvent.
"No rush about the banquet, let 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 so backwater, when did such a character pop up in the provincial city?"
"The way of the world these days, there’s always so Tom, Dick, or Harry claiming to be sobody, 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."
Yin Tian spoke nonchalantly, "That doesn’t an much, after all, there are plenty of people who don’t asure up to my status."
And upon hearing Yin Tian’s words, those who were originally mocking Yin Tian to please Zhou Li suddenly beca irate.
"Do you know how to speak properly?"
The crowd all looked furiously at Yin Tian, with one person even standing up, pointing at Yin Tian and challenged, "Then tell us, what sort of status do you have in this provincial city? If you’re really of such rank, why have we never heard of you?"
"Didn’t I just say? It’s because your level isn’t high enough, not reaching mine."
Yin Tian stated slowly and deliberately.
This truly provoked the crowd with Yin Tian’s exceedingly casual deanor.
"Alright, alright, folks. After all, this Yin Tian is a guest I invited. If you all attack him collectively, he’ll say we’re ganging up to bully him," Zhou Li interjected with a grin.
The crowd, hearing this from Zhou Li, managed to sowhat calm their anger.
"You didn’t invite here just to let these folks insult and ridicule , did you?"
Yin Tian cast a glance at Zhou Li, his face wearing an expression of utter disdain, "You think this kind of thing can humiliate ? Besides, such tactics are so embarrassing I’m almost ashad for you. It’s humiliating."
Zhou Li, at these words, felt his own anger ignite.
He gritted his teeth and watched Yin Tian coldly, "Yin Tian, don’t push too far!"
Yin Tian shrugged nonchalantly at Zhou Li, "Pushing you too far? You put on such a big show wanting to humiliate , and now you accuse of going too far?"
"Hmph!"
Zhou Li, realizing he couldn’t outtalk Yin Tian, could only let out a cold snort to vent his fury.
Just then, from a distant building a man ran over quickly, imdiately kneeling before Zhou Li, hugging his legs, "Mr. Zhou, you said if I agreed to hold this banquet here, you would solve my problem..."
"Don’t worry, I’ll solve it right away."
Zhou Li’s face bore an arrogant smile as he provocatively looked at Yin Tian, "Yin Tian, since you said earlier that you could see the situation here, surely you have a way to solve it, right?"
"What do you think?"
Yin Tian countered.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Li snorted coldly but continued to speak, "In that case, why don’t we have a competition?"
"A competition? Competing in what?"
Yin Tian expressed interest.
Zhou Li watched Yin Tian with a sneer, "Let’s compete to see which of us can resolve the situation here better, how about that?"
Yin Tian looked deeply at Zhou Li, then cracked a smile, "Alright."
"Heh, you think you have what it takes to compete with Mr. Zhou?"
A plump young man sneered at Yin Tian, "Do you know what nickna Mr. Zhou has in the Imperial Capital?"
"What nickna?"
Yin Tian cooperated in asking.
"Yin-Yang Severing Palm."
The young man, obviously trying to curry favor with Zhou Li, spoke proudly, "In the Imperial Capital, whenever anyone has a feng shui issue, Mr. Zhou can handle it in less than half an hour. Many wealthy people can’t even hire him."
"Who do you think you are? A ’person of note’ erged from so backwater, and you dare to compete with Mr. Zhou?"
"Exactly,"
Another person spoke out, looking at Yin Tian with contempt, "Mr. Zhou honoring the provincial city today is already dignifying this humbler ground. You think you have the nerve to challenge Mr. Zhou?"
"Absolutely!"
Suddenly, multiple people nodded in agreent.
However, after listening to the crowd, Yin Tian burst into laughter.
The crowd imdiately looked at Yin Tian with not very pleasant expressions, "You’re laughing at what?"
Yin Tian laughed heartily for quite so ti before regaining his composure.
He turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the people who had just spoken, "Dignifying humbler ground, just to lick boots, you really can say anything, huh?"
"Sure, the provincial city isn’t on the sa level as the Imperial Capital, but to speak of it so poorly in your words, that’s truly interesting," he continued.
"But if you’re willing to be dogs, then be dogs. No one’s stopping you."
