Late at night, Gusu City was tranquil and enchanting, like a sleeping Jiangnan woman. The streets and alleys, the bluestone paths, the bamboo shops, everywhere exuded a delicate and gentle feeling.
Pei Feng's home was in the new district's Xiuchun Garden, a high-rise residential area, not far from Shiqiao Street, about a ten-minute drive away.
He lived in Room 1201 on the 12th floor of Block C.
He took the elevator upstairs, opened the door, took off his shoes, changed them, and didn't even need to turn on the lights. Pei Feng did all of this silently.
His parents' door was unlatched, and there was a light but rhythmic snoring coming from inside.
He slowly walked to the door, gently pushed it open a little, and looked up — the orange bedside lamp was on, and his parents were sleeping soundly in each other's arms.
Looking at this scene, his eyes gradually showed an extremely rare warmth, and the look in his eyes softened.
Being reborn again, he wanted to save his parents' lives, and the only thing left was to hope that they would be in love, harmonious, stable, and happy.
His parents were already past 40 years old, and were about to reach 50 years of Knowing Destiny …
It was too late for them to practice martial arts, and according to their personalities, they shouldn't be interested.
With Pei Feng's remarkable ability, given time, he could completely extend his parents' lifespan to 500 years, or even nearly a thousand years, but whether he really wanted to do so, he hadn't thought about it yet.
Cultivators regarded cultivation as their destiny, their own responsibility, and their Taoist heart was straight, and their goal was firm. Therefore, it wasn't a problem to live for thousands of years, because there was a pursuit and obsession in their hearts.
But ordinary people might not be like this.
Living more than a hundred years was a blessing, but as for the later years … whether it was a blessing or a hardship, that would vary from person to person.
After staring for a long time, Pei Feng's lips curled into a faint smile, and he gently closed the door.
Being reborn again, no matter how his parents wanted to live, or how long they lived … he would follow their wishes.
In this life, he would escort and protect his parents, so that they would not be separated until their hair turned white, and they would live a life without regrets, until the moment when they both died, and the earth turned to white bones.
…
Early the next morning.
After meeting at Peacock Manor, everyone drove directly to the Sandaokou Stadium in Gusu New District.
"Mr. Pei, take a look … Which two are going to compete?"
As soon as Ho Lao finished speaking, everyone in the car looked at Pei Feng.
Everyone wanted to know who would get one of the two spots in their group.
"Mr Pei, I want to go!"
Zhou Guangping, who was at the side, spoke up first.
Pei Feng looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said lightly, "You know you will lose, but you still want to go?"
"The competition of martial arts is the most important. Winning or losing … doesn't really matter."
Zhou Guangping said this with a guilty conscience, but his eyes were eager.
"Alright, count you in."
When Pei Feng said this, everyone was dumbfounded.
Who would have thought that he would agree so readily!
If he had known it would be like this … he would have been the first to bring it up. He didn't expect that Zhou Guangping would snatch the initiative!
"There's still one more spot. Who wants to go?"
Whoosh!
All the young people in the car raised their hands — Ayesha, Chang Xiaoe, He Hua, Guan Haoyu, and … Zhuang Feiyu!
Pei Feng looked at Zhuang Feiyu, "…"
Zhuang Feiyu smiled mischievously, stuck out her tongue, and put down her hand.
"Sir, you … don't plan to compete?"
Chang Xiaoe was stunned. She originally thought that Pei Feng would give the second spot to her. Not only her, but everyone else thought so.
"Not interested."
Pei Feng said lightly, and his eyes slowly swept across, finally landing on He Hua.
"He Hua, the second spot is for you."
When he said this, He Hua was surprised and happy, and her face was full of disbelief. "Really … really?"
"Yes."
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Pei! "
Ayesha, who was at the side, had a sad look as she lowered her head.
She initially thought that the second spot would be given to her, but in the end … Pei Feng gave it to He Hua.
Pei Feng's words were like an imperial edict, and she naturally did not dare to disobey, but the disappointment in her heart was unavoidable.
Pei Feng glanced at her, and did not say anything, and slowly closed his eyes.
… …
They originally thought that the Southern Alliance Martial Competition would be similar to the annual competition, but upon entering the Three Paths Sports Stadium, it was completely decorated like a large scale teahouse.
Over a hundred square tables were distributed around the stadium, all of them were antique, and beside every table was a sandalwood tea table, with a tea lady to brew tea and pour water. On the tables were brass teapots with sharp tips, blue and white teacups, old fashioned wooden stools, it was like the furnishings of an old teahouse during the Republic of China period.
The stage was set up in the middle of the stadium, it was a large circular stage with a circumference of 15m, and was similar to the stage in the annual competition, it was a traditional Chinese stage without fences.
The seats were already arranged, and every table had a wooden sign, with the guest's name written on it. Jiangnan's Zhou Family, Jinxi's He Family, Yuzhong's Guan Family, as well as Zhuang Kaigang and his daughter, were not at the same table.
Since the two spots had already been decided, Jinxi's He Family and Yuzhong's Guan Family exchanged a few words and went to their seats, but only Zhuang Feiyu refused to follow Zhuang Kaigang to their side, and insisted on sitting at Jiangnan's Zhou Family's table.
"Light Rain! There are so many people watching, you … .stop messing around! "
"Dad, look at that table, they are all greasy old men with big bellies, so disgusting … .I don't want to sit there, I want to sit with Pei Feng!"
Pei Feng raised his head and looked at her, and said indifferently: "Light Rain, listen to your dad. There are dozens of tables over here, all of them are Martial Masters, people of the Martial Dao, they are brave and fierce, if they do not agree with each other, they will easily start fighting, if they really start fighting, it will not be good if you are accidentally injured. Listen to me, that side is the VIP table, it is safer to sit with your dad. "
"That's right, Light Rain, listen to me, in the Martial Dao, to solve disputes, we basically rely on typing. In this Southern Alliance Martial Competition, there will always be fights at the end, and verbal quarrels are even more common, it is safer at the VIP table. "Qian Fengnian added.
Pei Feng's words were obviously effective on Zhuang Feiyu, she pouted and stared at Pei Feng without saying a word.
After a moment of stalemate, she suddenly smiled and said: "Pei Feng, in a while, you will come over to see me, accompany me for a chat, if you promise me, I will go over."
Pei Feng frowned slightly, but did not say anything more, and nodded his head: "Alright."
"You must keep your words, I will wait for you."
Zhuang Feiyu smiled sweetly, and happily hugged Zhuang Kaigang's arm: "Let's go, dad, let's go over."
… …
The official martial arts competition would only start at 10 o 'clock, and there was still an hour before the competition started, the various families and sects had all arrived, and took their seats.
The venue was very noisy, some were exchanging pleasantries, some were discussing about the Martial Dao, and there were also many … .talking about the "Young Grandmaster"!
Pei Feng lowered his head, leisurely sipping his tea, and attentively listening to the discussions about the "Young Grandmaster".
