A Tai Qing Foundation Scripture, a True Classic of Awakening Orifice, a Minor Rejuvenating Pill, and often watching Pei Feng train …
The two's progress in martial arts training could be said to be a sudden flash of insight, advancing by leaps and bounds!
Born in a military family, both Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu had a strong Chinese military characteristic – tough, unyielding, swift and decisive, and never willing to admit defeat.
This characteristic … as one's strength continued to grow, it brought about a change that came from the heart, gradually becoming more and more confident.
In previous years, fighting was useless. Perhaps they would silently endure in the end, unable to vent their anger. But this year, it was impossible for them to give up their spot in the competition so sullenly!
Pei Feng and Elder Zhou had discussed the rise of the Zhou family of Jiangnan many times, and it was always Elder Zhou who took the initiative to ask for advice and discuss with him.
The rise of the Zhou family of Jiangnan was completely due to Elder Zhou's respected position in the military. It was truly a rising family.
In terms of foundation, the Zhou family was actually far from those with a long history that had always stood at the top of China. There was a difference in foundation, strength, connections, and wealth.
This was also Elder Zhou's biggest worry.
Elder Zhou was an upright and plainspoken person, disdaining to use his status to seek personal gain for his family. Therefore, in the three realms of the military, politics, and business, the Zhou family's development in the military was actually the worst.
There were many outstanding people in the younger generation of the Zhou family, whether in business or politics, they were all relatively successful. People like Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu in the military, although they were also very outstanding and had limitless futures, they were still the third generation of grandchildren. They were still young and had a long way to go before they could truly establish their position.
Although Elder Zhou still held a high position, he was already in a semi-retirement state, gradually retreating to the second line of duty. In another five years, when he truly retired from his position, if he maintained the current status quo, the Zhou family of Jiangnan's status among the large families of China would definitely fall, and they would definitely be persecuted and ostracized by rival families.
There was only one way for the Zhou family of Jiangnan to truly continue to rise and not decline because of his retirement … and that was the rise of martial arts!
China was an ancient country that highly valued martial arts. Families and sects that were strong in martial arts had always been the most respected.
The rise of martial arts was more valuable than the rise of the military, politics, and commerce!
Although Old Man Zhou didn't say it clearly, Pei Feng knew what he meant.
This old man who was as unyielding as a pine tree and looked down on the wind and snow … had placed all his hopes on him. In the next five years, the old man had no other choice but to gamble big and place all his chips on him!
Whether or not the Zhou family of Jiangnan was worth it, Pei Feng had always been considering it. He hadn't made a final decision, but at the moment, the Zhou family of Jiangnan was indeed the family he was most willing to help. In the future, they could rely on each other.
"Fight? The Zhou family of Jiangnan? "
As soon as Guan Lao Da's words left his mouth, the crowd burst into laughter. Everyone looked at Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu with a hint of ridicule and disdain.
The Zhou family of Jiangnan was like a declining sun. They held their heads high and their bright and beautiful days were numbered, because Old Man Zhou was about to abdicate …
This was the consensus of the upper echelons of China.
However, since Old Man Zhou was still in power, they couldn't openly offend the Zhou family of Jiangnan.
Guan Lao Da and Ho Lao looked at each other and seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. They both nodded their heads.
Guan Lao Da laughed, "You are right. Then let's do as you say. Let's fight and the winner gets the spot."
"Alright, it's the same for my He family." Big Boss He stroked his beard and smiled.
On the right was the He family and on the left was the Guan family. The people sitting there were all old people and standing behind them … were the young people of the two families.
The two families all had playful and relaxed smiles on their faces. There was only one exception — Ho Lao Six.
His forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. From time to time, he would sneak a glance at Pei Feng who was sitting on the seat closest to the door on the right.
Because of his relationship with Zhuang Kaigang, he hadn't returned to Jinxi after the yearly competition and hadn't told his family about it.
Now, because of the spot, the He family and the Guan family were obviously looking down on Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu. Their target was the Zhou family of Jiangnan … If they angered Mister Pei, who had a close relationship with the Zhou family of Jiangnan, and caused him to stand out, then it would be really troublesome!
Most importantly … he couldn't stand out and say anything. This was because when they were in the car, Pei Feng had mentioned that no one was allowed to reveal his identity. They weren't even allowed to call him Mister Pei, they had to call him Mister!
Up until now, Pei Feng hadn't said a single word. His expression was calm and indifferent. He just sat there quietly and watched from the side. But for some reason, Ho Lao Six was getting more and more nervous, worried, and restless.
"Ho Lao … What's wrong?"
Beside him, Zhuang Kaigang lightly touched his arm. He could see that Ho Lao Six's condition wasn't right.
Ho Lao Six smiled bitterly and pouted at Pei Feng. Zhuang Kaigang immediately understood.
Looking at Pei Feng, he sighed and patted Ho Lao Six's shoulder. This time, he had brought his daughter along to broaden her horizons and make some friends in the martial arts world. The only thing he could do … was comfort Ho Lao Six and hope that what he was worried about wouldn't happen.
On the side, Zhuang Feiyu looked at the two sneaky people and then looked at Pei Feng Six, who had his hands in his pockets and was quietly watching from afar. Her face was full of confusion.
"Haoyu, you go first."
"Yes, father."
Following Guan Lao Da's shout, a tall and sturdy young man with sharp eyebrows and eagle-like eyes walked out. He wore a navy blue Han Chinese robe and looked to be around 27 or 28 years old.
Guan Lao Da turned his head to look at Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu who were standing shoulder to shoulder. Smiling, he said, "Nephew, niece, who will go first?"
Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu looked at each other and nodded. Zhou Wanqiu retreated to the side while Zhou Guangping stepped forward and said, "I'll go first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a calm voice suddenly sounded, "Sit back down. You are not his opponent."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment. Everyone looked at the young man sitting on the right side of the seat closest to the door with his hands in his pockets and one leg crossed. He was sitting very leisurely.
The one who spoke was Pei Feng.
Zhou Guangping stared at him in a daze, his fists tightly clenched.
Pei Feng's eyebrows furrowed, but before he could speak again, Zhou Guangping immediately sat back down next to him.
Zhou Guangping's heart was filled with anger and he was in a daze for a moment. He didn't dare to disobey Pei Feng's words, not only because of Pei Feng's prestige as a grandmaster, but also because Pei Feng was the man he admired the most.
"Hahaha!" Guan Lao Da laughed loudly, "This little brother from your Zhou Clan has sharp eyes and knows his limits."
