It was almost noon at Storm Pavilion.
Everyone gathered and stared unblinkingly at the two people standing in the Storm Pavilion.
One was naturally Pei Feng.
The other … was an extremely strange person.
His entire body was wrapped in thick and dense black strips of cloth. The "skin" that was exposed was also black. There was a faint fluctuation of Qi on the surface of his skin, but it was hard to see clearly.
Other than a pair of blood-red, eerie, and chilling eyes, this person was completely like a black mummy. There was almost no color difference between his skin and the black strips of cloth wrapped around his body.
The most unbelievable thing was …
This strange person was extremely similar to Pei Feng in terms of figure, appearance, expression, and movements. Even his height and weight, hairstyle, and eye shape looked like they were carved from the same mold. They were too similar!
The people on the shore did not see it clearly, but Xi Honglei, Liu Chaozong, Wei Donglai, Qin Qianqiu, Xiao Changqing, and Zhang Jun. The six people saw it clearly — this strange person had suddenly appeared from the lake at the last moment when they killed the Devil Corpse Giant Tortoise. At that time, he had been holding the God Killer Sword and had cooperated with Pei Feng to deliver the killing blow!
To be qualified to hold Pei Feng's God Killer Sword … this strange person must have a special relationship with him!
They were all speculating in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
"After today's battle, the Thousand Worries Lake is completely safe."
Pei Feng looked around and said slowly, "This September, I will leave for the capital. At that time, I will leave this place to you."
Saying this, he looked at Zhou Guangping and said lightly, "You settle Liu Feng's side. Money is not a problem. Comfort his family."
Zhou Guangping nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Pei."
Pei Feng looked at Zhang Jun. "You have worked hard this time. The reward will be transferred to your card tomorrow. You can leave now."
Zhang Jun opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Jun looked at him. After a while, he gathered his courage and said, "Mr. Pei, I want to ask … do you accept disciples? I … I want to practice martial arts with you. "
Pei Feng frowned slightly and said indifferently, "I have already promised you that you can come to the Lake of Thousand Worries regularly to cultivate after nine months. The rest is up to you. There are many experts cultivating at the Lake of Thousand Worries, and they are all around you. As for me, sorry, I never accept disciples. "
A trace of loneliness flashed in Zhang Jun's eyes, and he very respectfully bowed to him. Afterwards, he whispered a few words to Zhou Guangping in a low voice, then turned around and left.
"Patriarch Qin, this birthday celebration can be considered as a declaration of war against the Imperial Capital's Pei Family."
Pei Feng thought for a long time, then looked at Qin Qianqiu and said slowly, "As long as I don't reveal my true strength, they won't be able to confirm my identity as a Grandmaster for the time being. However, they already know that I'm practicing martial arts …"
"The battle with the Imperial Capital's Pei Family will definitely be fought to the end. I have nothing to worry about, but my parents … I need you to strengthen your protection. What I want is for nothing to happen to my parents. Are you confident? "
Qin Qianqiu's expression turned solemn, and he cupped his fists slightly. "Mr. Pei, don't worry. As long as your parents are in Gusu, absolutely no one will dare to touch them! I will go back to Gusu tomorrow and arrange everything. "
Pei Feng looked at him without blinking and said lightly, "What are you going to do?"
Qin Qianqiu thought for a while and said slowly, "I will personally go to your parents' house and arrange for them to live in the highest-level military family compound in Gusu City. The people living in that compound are some retired old generals, and the protection measures are very good. Also … I will arrange for two groups of top-notch bodyguards to take turns to protect your parents' safety 24 hours a day. There will not be a single mistake. "
"Okay."
Pei Feng nodded. "Thank you, Patriarch Qin."
"He Hua, Wei Zixuan, Han Shuang Er, tomorrow morning at this Storm Pavilion, I will give the three of you pointers on martial arts."
"Yes, Mr. Pei!"
"Thank you, Mr. Pei!"
"Understood, Mr. Pei!"
Pei Feng waved his hand. "Okay, go to practice."
Everyone dispersed, but only Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu did not leave. Instead, they drove the boat to the Storm Pavilion.
"Mr. Pei, the two of us have a favor to ask of you."
"Is it about your Zhou family?"
The brother and sister both nodded. "Yes."
"Come up and talk."
Pei Feng looked at them and said with a faint smile, "Now that I have gone through the ceremony of your Zhou family and entered your Zhou family's ancestral hall, I am the real Zhou family's Senior Guest. As for the Zhou family's matter … I will not sit by and do nothing. If you have any problems in the future, you can discuss it with me directly. "
Elder Zhou hadn't been seen for more than a month. During that time, he had returned to Shanghai twice. His expression was solemn and he seemed to be in a hurry. Pei Feng had long guessed that something must have happened to the Zhou family. This was the first time something like this had happened since he had known the Zhou family.
Old Man Zhou did not say, so he did not ask.
He would not stay out of the Zhou family's matter, but as the Senior Guest, he was the only person in the Zhou family who was qualified to be on equal footing with Old Man Zhou. If the Zhou family needed his help, they would naturally take the initiative to ask. He did not need to do anything unnecessary.
The three of them sat on the ground. The brother and sister looked at each other, and Zhou Guangping said in a low voice, "Mr. Pei, this year should be my grandfather's last year in the army. At the beginning of next year … he will officially retire to the second line."
Pei Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is it settled?"
"Yes, it's settled."
Zhou Guangping's expression was very serious. "Some of the Zhou family's enemies in Jiangnan have also received the news and have begun to take action. What Grandfather means is … in this last year … he will do his best to promote the two of us. In the next five years of retirement, he will do his best to stabilize the Zhou family's influence and position in the army.
"Of course, the most important thing … is that Wanqiu and I need to achieve more military merits and have an outstanding performance. Especially this year, we must achieve something!"
At this point, he looked at Pei Feng and said solemnly, "Mr. Pei, the two of us … sincerely ask you to help us!"
Pei Feng looked at them noncommittally and smiled faintly. "Tell me, how can I help you?"
Zhou Wanqiu, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth. "It is an era of peace now, and China is rich and powerful. If we want to achieve outstanding military merits in the army, there are three fastest ways — first, to fight against disasters and save the people. Second, to do well in the martial arts competition. Third, to do well in international missions.
"The first requires the right time and the right place, and the third requires timing. Moreover, the competition for international missions is very fierce. Usually, the team with the best martial arts competition is the most competitive. Only the second, the martial arts competition … is the most practical and fastest, and it is also what the military leaders care about the most! "
Pei Feng frowned slightly. "What is the martial arts competition?"
"The martial arts competition is the military's martial arts competition. There are four of them every year, and they are all participated by the whole army. In March is the group martial arts competition, in June is the individual martial arts competition, in September is the team martial arts competition, and in December is the comprehensive martial arts competition."
Pei Feng's heart was slightly moved, and he said with a faint smile, "What … this March, both of you want to participate in the group martial arts competition and get a good ranking?"
Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Mr. Pei, Grandpa used his connections to transfer Wanqiu and I in the army. Now, I am the vice-captain of the Jiankang military's' War Eagle 'special forces team, and Wanqiu is the vice-captain of the Jinan military's' Black Panther 'special forces team. You are right, we both want to participate in the group martial arts competition in March, and we want to get a good ranking! "
A trace of surprise appeared on Pei Feng's face, and he said faintly, "If I remember correctly … isn't the Jiankang military's special forces team 'Sky Dragon'? Isn't the Jinan military's special forces team 'Eagle'? "
