Chapter 44

He returned to the hall, but no one seemed interested in his absence or came to inquire about it. Zhou Yi's gaze shifted, and he couldn't help but secretly smile. Among the brothers seated with him, only his second brother, Zhou Yihai, was present. As for his eldest brother and third brother, they seemed to have disappeared somewhere.

Upon seeing Yi, Zhou Yihai laughed and scolded, "Little Six, where were you for such a long time? Hurry over here."

Yi responded with a nod and took his seat, asking, "What about our eldest brother and third brother?"

"They're just like you," Zhou Yihai replied . "Did you enjoy the activities prepared by the Cheng Family in the front?"

Zhou Yi was slightly taken aback. When he went out, he noticed that the front and side halls of the Cheng Family were brightly lit with bustling voices. However, by some strange coincidence, he didn't go there. Instead, he unconsciously found himself on that small path and discovered the internal affairs of the Xu Family.

At this moment, upon hearing his second brother's question, he finally realized that the place was intentionally set up by the Cheng Family for various amusements.

He smiled faintly, choosing not to say anything. He hadn't been there, so who knew if it was fun or not? Sometimes, less said, less wrong.

Zhou Yihai stood up and said, "Little Six, since you're back, stay here. I'm going to have some fun before deciding what to do."

Watching his second brother leave happily, Zhou Yi couldn't help but bitterly smile. However, he had no interest in merrymaking at the moment. He silently sat in his seat, watching the performers in front of the hall.

Although his heart was no longer here, and he hoped this damn banquet would end soon, he didn't dare to act recklessly. Instead, he wore a slightly stiff smile, resembling a mud statue, as he stayed here.

Suddenly, a servant from the Cheng Family rushed in from outside, his face filled with excitement. He approached the host and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Cheng Ningsheng stood up abruptly as soon as he heard the news, and he spoke a few words to those around him. Immediately, everyone stood up and accompanied Elder Cheng as they walked outside. The entire group became the center of attention at the banquet, attracting the gaze of everyone present. Even the stage that was specially erected in front of the main hall paused under the signal of Cheng Family servants.

Zhou Yi's astonished gaze followed his uncle and father as they left with the crowd, noticing a hint of surprise and doubt in their eyes as well. After a moment, Uncle Zhou Yitian and his father returned one after another, wearing equally solemn expressions.

Zhou Yi whispered, "Eldest brother, what's happened?"

He was worried about the corpse of the person in black, almost thinking that it had been discovered. However, he immediately reassured himself with the thought that the house where he hid the corpse was several hundred meters away from here, and it was a day of great joy for the Cheng Family. Even if it was found, it wouldn't be possible to disturb Elder Cheng at this moment.

Zhou Yitian turned his head and said, "Yi, someone from the Lin Family in Linglang County has come to deliver a message."

"The Lin Family?" Zhou Yi's face showed a slight change. Although he resided in Taicang County and had never been to Linglang County, the reputation of the Lin Family was well-known throughout the land.

The Lin Family was an ancient and powerful clan that had existed for over a thousand years. Their history was long, their heritage profound, and not even the entire Taicang County could compare to them. After all, Taicang County had been relatively remote until three hundred years ago when it gradually began to prosper. Despite experiencing two dynasties, it only had a history of a little over three hundred years.
