At that moment, Shangguan Jinhong said to Ye Fan, "Mr. Ye, thank you for gracing our banquet with your presence! I am greatly honored!"
As soon as he spoke, the entire room fell into a shocked silence. A man of such high status was showing profound respect to a young man. The whole scene felt off.
The Shangguan Family Head had not participated in that war, so he didn't know who Ye Fan truly was, and Shangguan Jinhong had not revealed his identity. Initially, he couldn't stand the sight of Ye Fan, but with Shangguan Jinhong showing such deference, wouldn't picking a fight be a death wish?
"Not at all! You're too kind," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Come, come, Mr. Ye, please, take the seat of honor!"
Shangguan Jinhong escorted him to the head of the table. The important members of the Shangguan family all rose to toast Ye Fan. Compared to someone even the Shangguan Ancestor respected, they were nothing.
Ye Fan responded to each toast in turn.
