"A Grandmaster cannot be influenced by money and influence alone. The most important thing is still the word 'love'! We will slowly influence him with our emotions and build a deep friendship. Only then will Pei Feng be able to stand on the side of our Zhou Clan. You ignorant children simply don't understand the profound meaning behind your grandfather's actions. You're still arguing endlessly over a mere villa. You're really too immature. "
Guest Chamberlain meant distinguished guests. Up until now, all the great clans still used this ancient form of address.
The Senior Guest was the number one guest of the family.
The Zhou family of Jiangnan had a few guests, but the position of Senior Guest … had always been vacant.
With the Zhou family's status, they had to find a true Transcendent Grandmaster to hold the position. Only then would they be able to stand on equal footing with the other major families.
Between the top families … face was more important than anything else.
"Grandpa, who do you think is more powerful, Mr. Pei or Nie Canghai?" Zhou Guangping suddenly asked.
"Of course it's Nie Canghai. But … "
At this point, Old Man Zhou slowly placed his hands behind his back. His burning gaze swept across the entire backyard as he enunciated each word in a heavy tone, "Pei Feng's talent is rare in this world. Moreover, Nie Canghai is already forty-five years old while Pei Feng is only seventeen. He is in his prime. The future … will definitely belong to the young. He will definitely surpass Nie Canghai!
Elder Zhou was farsighted. He looked at the future.
In his eyes, Pei Feng would surpass the "God of War" Nie Canghai. This young Grandmaster … would ascend to the peak of martial arts and look down on the world!
"Surpass Nie Canghai?" Zhou Wanqiu gasped. "Grandpa, are you talking about … the Mysterious Realm?"
"The Mysterious Realm?"
Elder Zhou laughed. "The Mysterious Realm is just an illusory, unreachable legend. It's hard to say if anyone has ever reached the Mysterious Realm."
Speaking up to here, he seemed to suddenly think of something and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. He stood there in a daze and didn't speak anymore.
…
On the other side, Pei Feng had gotten his wish of dealing with his homeroom teacher, Yu Xianan. He didn't go to class and went straight home — he wanted to get some daily necessities. Recently, he would basically spend his nights in the backyard of Qiushan Villa.
In his previous life, Yu Xianan was a poor mother. Her only son had mild polio. Not only did he have trouble walking, half of his face was distorted, and he often had epileptic symptoms.
This was what Pei Feng needed to win over Yu Xianan.
Polio was an illness that was extremely difficult to treat in medical terms. It was basically impossible to completely recover from, but in Pei Feng's hands … a Small Rejuvenating Pill could completely cure it.
Curing polio was much easier than curing Zhou Lao's kidney disease, which had been plaguing him for decades.
As a condition for curing Yu Xianan's son, Pei Feng did not restrict his freedom. Yu Xianan would not interfere with whether he went to class or did homework. Yu Xianan could only report good news to his mother and not bad news.
Of course, Pei Feng also promised that his grades would not be a burden to his class and grade.
The high school curriculum was a piece of cake for Pei Feng, and he did not plan to give up on his studies, because … the college entrance examination was very important to him. He had to get into a specific university, for the sake of the woman he loved his whole life.
…
The next morning, on the way to school, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Pei Feng took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Xu Lu. This made him a little surprised — weren't they going to meet at school soon? Why was she calling at this time? She could have said it at school.
He had forgotten … it had only been two days since school started. He had skipped class for a day and a half, which was less than half a day's worth of classes. Who would know if he would go to class today?
On the phone, Xu Lu said a bunch of random things, asking him what happened yesterday and if he was alright. Then, she mentioned that she wanted to treat him to dinner tonight, and Zhuang Feiyu would be going as well.
Pei Feng coldly rejected her.
Last night at A Bar, Xu Lu and Zhuang Feiyu's attitude towards him changed. They showed their dislike for him several times. Xu Lu also interfered in his conversation with Jin Xiaocui. It was a bit too much. But after 2000 years in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms, he didn't care about such trivial things. But … he was just fulfilling his promise to Aunt Shen to Xu Lu.
Towards Xu Lu and Zhuang Feiyu, these two pampered and arrogant rich young ladies, he felt that eating together was very boring. Because he didn't have anything in common with them, he didn't want to give up the best cultivation time at night and waste it on this kind of boring thing.
In the female toilet on the 5th floor of the first teaching building, Xu Lu hung up the phone with an awkward face.
"Lulu, what did you say? What did you say?"
Zhuang Feiyu's beautiful big eyes flashed, her face full of expectation.
After the incident at A Bar, she had a hero complex since childhood. She completely changed her view of Pei Feng. From disgust, disdain, and contempt, she now worshiped him.
"He refused!"
"Ah?" Zhuang Feiyu opened her mouth, her face full of surprise. Then it turned into disappointment. "Oh …"
"What's with the arrogance! I took the initiative to call him and treat him to a meal, but he rejected me without saying a word! This damn Pei Feng … Fine, just you wait, don't regret it! "
"Forget it, Lulu. He probably has something to do tonight."
"Even if he has something to do, he shouldn't refuse. He should push it aside and have dinner with us! Light Rain, don't you know that I've never called a guy and invited him to dinner? Really, I'm so angry! "
"Alright … let's go. Class is about to start. We'll be late if we don't leave."
…
After rejecting Xu Lu's invitation that day, Xu Lu never called him again. She was as cold as ice at school and didn't even want to look at him.
On the contrary, Zhuang Feiyu came to Class 3-3 more frequently. After class, she would come over to chat with Xu Lu and stare at him boldly from time to time.
Whether it was Xu Lu's indifference or Zhuang Feiyu's stare, Pei Feng ignored them all.
After a week of peaceful school life, Pei Feng acted out of character. He didn't skip a single day of classes during the day, but he didn't attend a single night of self-study.
During this time, he settled the matter of repaying Qin Zhaodi's kindness and became more familiar with Song Yaoming.
Song Yaoming didn't know what happened at A Bar, or rather, none of his classmates knew.
Perhaps it was because Luo Yixing and the others who went to A Bar felt that their performance that day was too embarrassing, or perhaps it was because of some other reason, all the participants kept quiet and no one mentioned it again.
Since they didn't mention it, Pei Feng didn't even bother to mention it. In class, he didn't pay attention to anyone except Song Yaoming, so of course he was invisible.
