Chapter 703

In the heart of Central City, there lies a lake.

On the lake floats a large boat, known as Bichao Garden.

The destination Yin Tian was heading for was this very Bichao Garden.

At this moment, the grand vessel was moored at the shore, waiting for all the incoming guests to board and set sail on time.

It was now half-past three in the afternoon, but the boat had already gathered many people.

Those aboard were almost all Masters or core members of first-rate families or nearly first-rate families.

Currently, Central City was undergoing a significant reshuffling, with many families settling in the city, which put great pressure on the original families for fear of being squeezed out of their positions.

The purpose of this banquet was precisely to allow future successors and those in power of the major families to interact more, or at the very least, to become acquainted with each other, to avoid future troubles for their own families.

"Bichao Garden, huh..."

Hand in hand with Mu Lingshan, Yin Tian led her onto the massive ship.

With Mu Lingshan’s appearance, she immediately drew the attention of many.

On one hand, it was due to Mu Lingshan’s looks; on the other hand, it was due to her attire.

At this time, Mu Lingshan was still dressed in a bright red wedding gown, and with her makeup, she looked every bit the bride.

"Isn’t that Mu Lingshan?"

"What is she doing here?"

"I heard that Master Tang was to marry Mu Lingshan today, could that person be Master Tang?"

"They’ve just ended their wedding ceremony, and haven’t even entered the bridal chamber. Were they brought directly here?"

The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, yet dared not raise their voices.

Because of Mu Lingshan, many who didn’t recognize Yin Tian took him for Master Tang.

For those who did know Yin Tian, they remained silent, not daring to utter a word.

Some even chose to discreetly disembark, not daring to stay any longer.

They had attended Sir Du’s assembly, bestowed by Imperial City, and they knew all too well what kind of background Yin Tian possessed.

At the same time, they also understood the purpose behind this banquet.

If Yin Tian weren’t here, it’d be fine, but his presence here made it impossible for them to remain.

"Are you Master Tang, Tang Weijin?"

A young man approached Yin Tian, looking at him with a friendly expression.

Yin Tian had heard the earlier conversations of the crowd, and now seeing that he had been mistaken for someone else, he did not correct them.

"It’s good to meet you, Brother Tang. I did send you an invitation before, thinking you wouldn’t come, but to my surprise, you really did."

The young man looked at Yin Tian with smiling eyes, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ding Yanxu. I’m new to Central City, but thanks to my family’s influence, we’ve become a first-rate family."

"We’ll all be under the same roof from now on, so please take good care of me," he said.

"Certainly, certainly," Yin Tian replied, nodding with a smile.

Ding Yanxu spoke in a soft voice, "Then, Brother Tang, since you have come here, you must have come to deal with Yin Tian, right?"

Yin Tian’s expression became odd.

By his side, Mu Lingshan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Ding Yanxu was taken aback, not knowing why Mu Lingshan laughed.

Seeing the confusion in Ding Yanxu’s eyes, Yin Tian fabricated with a serious face, "Of course! I was not planning on coming, but that Yin Tian crossed the line. He barged into my home on the very day of my wedding!"

"What? Then what happened?"

"Then my father had to call upon Imperial City to make Yin Tian back down. But since he created such a commotion in my Tang Family, how could I swallow this indignity and stay in Central City?"

After hearing what Yin Tian said, Ding Yanxu looked at him with softened eyes, "Brother Tang, don’t worry. As long as we join hands, what can that Yin Tian do, even if he had three heads and six arms?"

"In that case, I am willing to be the vanguard of the alliance!"

"There’s no need for that!"

Ding Yanxu, gripping Yin Tian’s hand, spoke passionately, "Our alliance exists solely to take down Yin Tian."

"Indeed!"

Yin Tian nodded firmly, then with a skeptical inquiry, asked, "But Brother Ding, what is your grudge against Yin Tian?"

"Master of the Chu Family, Chu Renjie is my cousin. He was so angered by that Yin Tian that he spit blood three times. How could I just stand by and do nothing?"

"Brother Ding is truly righteous!"

Yin Tian gave Ding Yanxu a thumbs up.

"You flatter me too much, Brother Tang," Ding Yanxu said, shaking his head. Then, he continued, "Brother Tang, please remain seated here for now; I will attend to the other friends first."

"As you wish," Yin Tian responded with a smile.

Ding Yanxu smiled back at Yin Tian and then stepped away.

After Ding Yanxu had left, Mu Lingshan could no longer contain herself.

She clung to Yin Tian’s arm and laughed non-stop, "Tian... you, you really are too wicked!"

"If that Ding Yanxu knew your true identity, wouldn’t he go mad from anger?"

Yin Tian also had a smile on his face as he replied softly, "That would be perfect."

As the time drew near, more people arrived on the ship.

These were none other than Xuanyuan Yuhao, Lin Yunzhi, Chu Renjie, and others who held grudges against Yin Tian.
