The news of Chen Ping'an's return to the city yesterday had circulated overnight, and all the major powers within the city were now aware of it. The Four Great Noble Families, who stood at the apex of Weishui County City, had learned of the matter the moment it happened.
If Chen Ping'an were still the insignificant junior he once was—talented and gifted, perhaps, but nothing more—the great Noble Families would have likely sent their invitations by yesterday evening.
But now, Chen Ping'an had come into his own. Although still a junior, he held a high-ranking position. In terms of status, he was in no way inferior to the Patriarchs of these Noble Families! In fact, with his impending promotion, his prestige and influence were poised to surpass many of them.
They wouldn't dare treat such a distinguished guest casually. Their etiquette and courtesy had to be impeccable.
