"I can save face for you, but …."
Pei Feng looked at him and said word by word, "I want you to handle the transfer of the Heaven Lake Imperial Palace to me because I don't trust Li Jiahang."
"You are the Senior Guest of the Li family, your status is very high and you are on the same level as the family lord. I want you to tell Li Jiahang about this."
As he spoke, his hands brushed past Ling Haiying's elbows, knees, and other parts, and there was a slight cracking sound of joints. Ling Haiying knew that he was helping her set her bones, so she didn't say anything. However, cold sweat still appeared on her forehead — directly setting bones with one's bare hands was very painful.
"I've connected your arm and neck bones, but I can't connect your knees and ribs. Come, take it."
He handed a Small Energy Rejuvenation Pill to Ling Haiying.
Ling Haiying's face changed when he saw the brown pill.
"A pill from the Medicine King Valley? What … what kind of pill is this? I have never seen such a strong medicinal effect! "
Seeing that Pei Feng had no intention of paying attention to his words, Ling Haiying's expression turned slightly awkward. She took the Little Returning Pill and swallowed it.
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
He was sure that Pei Feng was a Transcendent Grandmaster.
Losing to a Transcendent Grandmaster was not an injustice at all. He could only blame himself.
To a Half Perfected Cultivator like him, a Transcendent Grandmaster was the real deal.
The other Senior Guest of the Li family of Jiang Nan, a Transcendent Grandmaster, looked down on a Half Perfected Cultivator like him. They had only met a few times, but the Grandmaster didn't even look at him.
Nominally, they were the two Senior Guests of the Li family of Jiang Nan, but in reality … the difference in status was like heaven and earth!
Even the family lord, Li Tiankui, had to be careful when talking to him.
Now, Pei Feng had injured him and healed him. Ling Haiying was truly in awe of Pei Feng and didn't have any temper at all.
…
After around the time for an incense stick to burn, the mist in the forest gradually dispersed, and two figures slowly walked out side by side from the depths of the forest. Shockingly, it was Pei Feng and Ling Haiying.
Although they came out at the same time, the difference was obvious. Pei Feng looked the same as before he entered the forest, but Ling Haiying's blue robe was torn and there were blood stains on his face and hands.
Seeing Ling Haiying's appearance, Li Jiahang's face paled and his mouth twitched.
"Uncle Ling."
He took a few steps forward, cupped his fists, and said respectfully, "This battle, you …"
Before he could finish his words, Ling Haiying waved his sleeves and coldly declared, "If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to lose. From today onwards, this Celestial Pond Emperor Palace no longer belongs to the Li Clan."
"I will report to the Patriarch about the Celestial Pool Imperial Palace when I return. Jiahang, you better think carefully about this matter. You have to give an explanation to the Old Master!"
Li Jiahang gritted his teeth and his face turned green.
He thought that he would win the bet after inviting Ling Haiying. Who would have thought that this would be the result!
The Heaven Lake Imperial Palace was worth more than a billion. It was no joke to lose it so easily! Even if it was him, he would not be able to escape the family's severe punishment!
"This time, 20 battles, you win 6 and I win 8. I'm sorry, this Heaven Lake Imperial Palace is mine."
Pei Feng's voice sounded faintly, "Li Jiahang, if there are similar banquets like this in the future, you can call me again. I will be happy to participate. Of course, if there is no bet, you don't have to call me. "
Li Jiahang's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth but he still tried to control himself. No matter what, he didn't want to lose his poise in front of Kerou.
The loss of the Heaven Pool Imperial Palace was already set in stone. If they were to lose Ke Rou because of this matter … then they would really lose miserably!
He was a shrewd person. Even in the face of a crushing defeat, he could still keep his composure and control his emotions.
After a while, his expression returned to normal, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Alright, Pei Feng. Since you've said so, don't worry. We're going to be classmates for four years. There's plenty of time in the future, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Pei Feng looked at him deeply and smiled faintly, "Alright, it's settled then. It's getting late, I will take my leave first. "
As he spoke, he looked at Ling Haiying and cupped his fists, "Spiritual Master Ling, I have offended you today. The rest of the matter … I will have to trouble you."
"Pei …"
Just as the word 'Grandmaster' came out of her mouth, Ling Haiying suddenly thought of something. Her expression turned solemn and she said in a low voice, "Since Jiahang has chosen to bet with you, the Li Clan will not renege on the bet. Don't worry, wait for my news about the Heaven Lake Imperial Palace. "
"Alright."
Pei Feng nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned to look at Kerou in the crowd and smiled, "Kerou, do you need me to send you back to school? My cousin's car is still waiting outside. "
Kerou looked at him in a daze with a trace of complexity in her eyes.
Today's banquet gave her a strange feeling towards Pei Feng that she had never felt before.
This young man who made her feel like a bosom friend and saved her life … seemed to be different from what she had imagined.
This young man … had an additional feeling that she couldn't see through. She couldn't tell if it was good or bad.
"Alright."
After a moment of silence, she nodded lightly and agreed to Pei Feng's invitation.
As soon as Kerou said 'alright', Li Jiahang's face instantly darkened. He quickly glanced at Tian Li, who was standing beside Kerou, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Their eyes met, and Tian Li immediately understood and giggled, "What? Pei Feng, you're only sending Kerou and not the rest of us? When we came here, we were all sent to the dormitory by you. "
Pei Feng looked at her with a faint smile and said indifferently, "Of course I'm sending you. You have to finish what you started. Since I've accepted your dormitory, it's naturally my mission to send you back. Ji Xiaoru, Sun Lingling, are you two coming with me? "
Ji Xiaoru and Sun Lingling nodded in unison, "Sure."
Pei Feng cupped his fists at Ling Haiying and the other students in the crowd, "Spiritual Master Ling, everyone, I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and slowly walked out of the red maple forest.
In the crowd, Ayesha, He Hua, and the other four quickly followed him.
…
Kerou and her roommates were picked up by another Lincoln limousine sent by Vixen, while Pei Feng and the other five sat in the Mercedes-Benz limousine — Vixen was really meticulous. She guessed that Pei Feng would send Kerou and her roommates back, so she sent an extra car, which had been waiting outside the maple forest for a long time.
Pei Feng didn't go back with Kerou and her roommates in the same car. With Kerou's personality, she needed time to digest everything that happened at the cocktail party today. At this time … it was not suitable to go back with her.
