After spending some time greeting everyone, He Xiaojun led Xia Liang to the main table. There had been some underhanded maneuvering among the guests vying for a seat there. Even He Youling had made his own children sit at other tables to free up spots.
Now, aside from He Youling, He Xiaojun, and a few of He Youling's eldest sons, everyone else at the main table was a personage on the level of the Commander of Haojiang. Surprisingly, Wu Tong was also among them.
Xia Liang greeted each of them in turn.
Once everyone was seated, the banquet officially began. As arranged by Elder He, Xia Liang sat in the seat of honor. To his left were Elder He and He Xiaojun, while to his right was Wu Tong, whom he hadn't seen in several days.
Truthfully, Wu Tong likely didn't even have the qualifications to attend the banquet, let alone sit at the main table. But Elder He, following the principle of never letting an opportunity slip by, had invited Wu Tong and even seated her beside Xia Liang.
