After all, the Jin family was still a top-tier power in Fengtian, and he, as the head of the family,

Many people would give him face if he extended an invitation, but the person he most wanted to invite was my master.

Once I could persuade my master to say a good word for me, it would be more effective than a hundred words from others. And my master and his wife readily agreed to support me.

The Jin family quickly gathered a large number of extraordinary martial artists, some of whom had not received an invitation.

However, in order to enhance his standing in the underworld, he still actively attended the Jin family's banquets.

Yes, the Jin family is celebrating a happy occasion; they are taking a concubine and have invited everyone to a family banquet.

Everyone knew perfectly well what was going on, but no one dared to call them out on it.

After all, they are a top-tier family; they can easily organize a family banquet on short notice.

When I arrived, the banquet was almost ready; they were waiting for me before the meal even started.

At the scene were my master and mistress, three Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm from the guild, and two Grandmasters from the military.

Including those from other aristocratic families, there are more than ten Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm.

This level of gathering is rare these days; everyone's so enthusiastic because they want to curry favor with the Kim family.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to gather so many Grandmasters at once. The Jin family's head steward personally greeted me at the door.

I entered the Jin family home through the main gate without any ceremony. A banquet had already been prepared in the main hall.

Those who could hurry have already arrived, and those who haven't arrived can't get in.

I took Zhang Ziyue directly to the main table, followed by Wen Bing and the others. Old Huang didn't come forward.

Following behind, he caught the aroma of the fine wine the Jin family had prepared.

Unable to resist, I sat down at an empty seat and started mooching drinks.

I didn't notice his subtle movements and started facing the Jin family head.

The Jin family head preemptively spoke first, saying, "Oh dear, this must be my nephew Yuan. It's better to be lucky than early; today is a special day for me."

"Quickly sit down and have a drink with me," she said, gesturing to the butler next to her to offer her a seat.

I reached out to stop the head butler who was about to step forward, and poured myself a glass of wine.

He raised the cup to the Jin family head, then said, "I've really come at the right time. Well then, I'll congratulate the Jin family head on your remarkable achievement."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Then he poured himself another glass, raised it, and continued, "This glass is my apology."

"Since I've come here today to demand an explanation, if I happen to disrupt the Jin family head's wedding night, I apologize in advance."

After saying that, he downed it in one gulp.

Patriarch Jin never expected me to be so outspoken. With so many senior and accomplished figures present, how dare a junior like me speak so frankly to him?

I wasn't intimidated at all. Although my event was disrupted, the head of the Jin family still appreciated me.

If one of their descendants were like me, he'd be laughing in his sleep.

But now we still have to grit our teeth and persevere, after all, it involves the family's reputation.

The Jin family head immediately said, "Oh, my dear nephew, what are you saying? Just say what's on your mind."

Those present are all your elders; they will surely stand up for you. How can you say you're making trouble for them?

I went straight to the point and asked, "Master Jin, I'd like to ask where Jin Shiting is. Could you please call her? I have something to ask her."

The Jin family head frowned and said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry."

Your younger sister isn't home? That's why I'm taking a concubine, and she's throwing a tantrum.

She ran away in a fit of anger, and since I was just about to finish my wedding, I didn't go looking for her.
