At dusk.
In the center of Qingyang Town, within a spacious quadrangle, numerous figures were bustling about.
The grand courtyard gate, styled after the majestic ancient gates, had a plaque hanging on it. However, it didn’t bear the words "Zhang Residence" or "Zhang Family Estate," but instead, "Town Mayor’s House" in bold characters.
Because Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were grand figures who held special importance for Sun Xiong, Zhang Baifa naturally couldn’t afford to neglect the proper manners, so he prepared extensively for tonight’s banquet.
At this moment, he was directing the servants to decorate the estate, aiming to ensure that Chen Fan and Su Qingyan would enjoy a delightful view upon their arrival.
