Xiao Changqing was a straightforward person who respected the strong and abided by the ancient rules. If he saw someone offending him, he would definitely speak up to help.
However, Pei Feng knew Xu Lu's character very well. She was like a bee that stung people. When she was in a bad mood, she would rather die than release the sting …
If he argued with her now, he would not be able to stop for the rest of the journey.
…
He had thought that the journey would be quiet and that he would close his eyes and rest. However, Zhuang Feiyu's "Top Scholar in Liberal Arts" immediately stirred up the topic, and the discussion heated up along the way.
732 points, an outrageous high score, and it was in liberal arts …
Even Xiao Changqing and Qian Fengnian were shocked.
Whether it was in Literature or Martial Arts, to reach the peak, one had to put in unimaginable hardships and efforts!
Apart from other things, one had to invest a lot of time and energy.
Pei Feng was only 17 years old, but he had already broken the legend in Martial Arts, stepped into the transcendent state, and became a Grandmaster. He was also so amazing in Literature that he became the top scholar in Liberal Arts in the city!
Excellent in both Literature and Martial Arts, amazing!
How did he do it?
In the hearts of Xiao Changqing and Qian Fengnian, the title of "monster" was no longer worthy of him … This kind of person was probably a rare genius that only appeared once in a thousand years, a true dragon among men!
…
The scale of the Jiankang Su Family's New Year's Banquet was beyond Pei Feng's imagination.
The New Year's Banquet was not held at the Su Family's place, but at the most luxurious Jinling Royal Manor in Jiankang.
Two huge stone lions stood at the entrance of the magnificent Jinling Royal Manor, and two huge stone tablets stood on the backs of the lions. The stone tablet on the left read "Su Family's New Year's Banquet", and the stone tablet on the right read "Guests from All Over".
The words were written in gold lacquer, bold and powerful, showing off the domineering aura.
Not only that, the carpet used for the entrance was not the traditional red carpet, but a very luxurious and beautiful golden carpet. No one knew if it was painted gold or plated.
There was an endless stream of guests. They were all big shots, rich people, and people from the martial arts world. They were not only from Su Province, but also from all over the country.
Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, Maybachs, Porsches, Land Rovers, and other good cars were everywhere in the huge parking lot in front of the Jinling Royal Manor. Not a single car cost less than a million yuan, and … many of the car license plates were amazing. Some of the license plates were obviously not something that could be bought with money alone.
"The Su Family of Jiankang sure is extravagant, and there are a lot of powerful guests."
After checking in at the front desk, Pei Feng turned her head and looked at the entrance of the manor.
"Yes."
On the side, Qian Fengnian moved closer to him and said in a low voice, "This year's banquet is an annual appreciation banquet. The Su Family places great importance on it. Not only is the Jiankang Su Family prosperous in martial arts, but their business is also huge. I heard that this year, their family has already entered the top 100 of the Forbes Wealth List. I think they're ranked 91, surpassing the Wu Family in the imperial capital! "
"The Su Family of Jiankang is not only prosperous in martial arts, but also powerful in business. It is said that they are in the top 100 of the Forbes list this year. I think they are ranked 91, surpassing the Wu Family in the capital!"
Xiao Changqing also said slowly, "Moreover, each guest can only bring one relative at most. If you violate these two rigid rules, you won't even be allowed to enter."
"Yes."
Qian Fengnian shook his head with a bitter smile. "The Su Family of Jiankang is still as overbearing and tough as ever! They have to follow the rules and monopolize the financial market of Jiankang. Other families want to enter the Jiankang market, but the Su Family won't let them. "
Xu Lu, who was at the side, was speechless.
Her family's assets were barely fifty million. If she had not come with Zhuang Feiyu, she would not have been qualified to enter the Jinling Royal Manor.
"I have to be a relative?"
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
Pei Feng frowned. "I'm not related to any of you. Why did the people at the door let me in?"
Xiao Changqing glanced at him awkwardly and whispered, "Mr. Pei, I said that you are my nephew … If I don't say that, the guards won't let you in, even if it's on my account."
"Yes, the Su Family of Jiankang has always been like this. They have a lot of broken rules. I said Lulu is my sister. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to come in."
Zhuang Feiyu also chimed in.
"Oh?"
Pei Feng smiled. "The Su Family of Jiankang is so overbearing and tough. What strict rules … Everyone here today is a big shot. Does anyone have any objections?"
The Jiankang Su Family was domineering in their way of doing things. They had a lot of rules and they had a lot of rules. He had heard of them in his previous life. However, the rule that a family member's net worth couldn't be lower than a hundred million and they could only bring one family member along … would definitely offend some people. It would be abnormal if they didn't offend people.
"Mr. Pei, there's something you don't know."
Xiao Changqing smiled bitterly. "The Su Family of Jiankang is backed by the Medicine King Sect. All the pills from the Medicine King Sect are managed by the Su Family of Jiankang. The upper class of Huaxia, whether it's the big shots, the high officials, the rich, or the sects and families of the martial arts world, they all have a great demand for the pills from the Medicine King Sect. "
Speaking of this, he shook his head slowly. "The elixirs of the Medicine King Sect are also called 'Immortal Elixirs' in the martial arts world. They are unique and very magical. They can refine elixirs with effects such as prolonging life, consolidating corporeity, eliminating disasters and diseases, changing Fengshui, and improving martial arts! And it's said that … the Medicine King Sect can even refine pills that can cleanse one's meridians, transform one's body, and even bring the dead back to life. It's just that they never sell them! "
"Our White Crane Sect has spent more than sixty million buying the pills from the Medicine King Sect this year, all from the Su Family of Jiankang."
Medicine King Sect? Pills?
Pei Feng's heart skipped a beat.
He remembered that Qin Qianqiu and Wei Donglai had mentioned the Medicine King Sect and the pills they refined in the Qin Residence.
"Why doesn't the Medicine King Sect sell the pills themselves, and why does it have to be managed by the Su Family of Jiankang?"
"I'm not sure about that, Mr. Pei."
Xiao Changqing shook his head. "I only know that the Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect, Mo Beipo, has an eccentric personality and is extremely antisocial. He secludes himself all year round and doesn't allow his disciples to go out. He only stays in the sect and concentrates on refining pills. He almost doesn't interact with the other sects and families of the martial arts world."
"Then the ingredients for refining pills are all sent to the Medicine King Sect by the Su Family of Jiankang?"
"Probably? I'm not too sure about that, Mr. Pei. "
Xiao Changqing didn't dare to hide or brag about Pei Feng. If he knew, he knew. If he didn't know, he didn't know.
"Then where is this Medicine King Sect?"
"It's said to be near Mount Longhu in Gan Province. The Medicine King Sect is too mysterious. Probably only the Su Family knows about it. "
Pei Feng nodded and turned to walk towards the elevator. "Let's go to the room first."
He wasn't very interested in the "pills" that the Medicine King Sect refined, but he was very interested in the ingredients used to refine them.
