The second son of the Pei family in the capital, one of the most revered figures of the younger generation in the capital's upper-class circle, had taken the initiative to toast and shake hands. Yet, this poor loser named Pei Feng did not give him any face and flatly refused him?!
Everyone was shocked.
Truth be told, none of the nobles present here, even those whose family backgrounds were more illustrious than the Pei Family in the Imperial Capital, dared to treat Pei Xingtian like this in front of everyone!
Family influence was one aspect, and personal ability was another — Pei Xingtian was not someone to be trifled with. This was not only the opinion of the nobles, but also the opinion of the elders of the wealthy families in the capital about Pei Xingtian. It was a warning to their descendants!
There were two types of people that should not be provoked.
One was someone who was as strong as the sky, high-profile and domineering, crushing everything with absolute strength.
The other was someone who kept a low profile and did not compete, but was actually very shrewd and ruthless.
In the eyes of the elders in the upper-class circle in the capital … Pei Xingtian was undoubtedly the latter, and the most outstanding of the latter!
Such a person could be a hero in troubled times, and could stir up natural enemies and chaos in the universe. In times of peace, he could prosper and achieve hegemony!
In front of everyone, Pei Feng showed such an attitude, not giving any face to Pei Xingtian. Standing behind him, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties suddenly opened his eyes. His long hair was tied in a braid, and his eyes were drooping. He was dressed in a white traditional Chinese costume, and he looked to be in his forties.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed, and his joints crackled. An extremely vigorous and heavy aura spread out in an instant!
A thin hand suddenly blocked in front of him. It was Pei Xingtian.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and put down his slightly raised left foot.
"You're right. We're all in the capital, so there's a chance."
From the beginning to the end, Pei Xingtian's expression did not change at all. He still maintained a faint smile, "There's still a long way to go. We'll meet again if fate allows it."
"Everyone, please enjoy your meal. At the beginning of next month, the Pei Family will be holding an auction of Celestial Artifacts in the Spirit Abyss Manor. There will be many good items. In a few days, the invitations will be sent in advance. I hope that everyone will be able to attend."
With that, Pei Xingtian looked deeply into Pei Feng's eyes and nodded slightly. He then slowly turned around and walked to his own table.
The moment he turned around, the look in his eyes changed. His eyes were filled with a cold glint!
All this while, he had been keeping an eye on Pei Shaoyun, not his useless son. But now, his thoughts had completely changed!
The old one, on the other hand, had always been content with the status quo and had no other plans. Unexpectedly, the young one had actually changed his nature and started to cause trouble!
In addition to successfully passing the imperial exams, he also won a private club owned by Li Jiahang that was worth more than a billion yuan …
His next step was to return to the Pei Family and appear in front of Old Master Pei, wasn't it?
This damned father and son, as well as that lowly woman … it was time to deal with them!
…
The person that Pei Feng had offended was Pei Xingtian. But the person who had his eyes on him was the middle-aged man with the braid.
He stared unblinkingly at Pei Feng. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Young man, we will meet again. You and I will meet again."
Pei Xingtian knew what kind of person Pei Feng was. The middle-aged man also knew what kind of person he was.
After so many years, both he and Pei Xingtian were shocked to see Pei Feng again. This was a cowardly and weak person who didn't even dare to look the other members of the Pei Family in the eye. He didn't even dare to let out a fart … Why did he seem like a completely different person now? Why did he dare to be so arrogant in public? Why did he become so bold?
This was unbelievable!
To Pei Xingtian, the change in Pei Feng's attitude finally caught his attention for the first time.
After all, with Old Master Pei's retirement, the Pei Family was fighting for power. The atmosphere of deception was getting stronger and stronger. Pei Shaoyun's family was one of the potential threats!
Although Old Master Pei no longer had sole authority, he still had the final say in how the Pei Family's cake should be divided.
It was understandable for the other members of the Pei Family to get a share of the cake. The only thing they were fighting for was the number of shares. But Pei Shaoyun's family … definitely didn't have the right to get a share of the cake!
In the past, Pei Shaoyun's family had severed ties with the Pei Family. That was fine. But now, Old Master Pei and Pei Shaoyun's relationship had eased. Although they gradually drifted apart, everyone in the Pei Family knew that Old Master Pei still couldn't let go of Pei Shaoyun's family. He had deep feelings for them.
Moreover, this feeling … was mostly filled with guilt and self-blame!
One day, when Old Master Pei spoke up, Pei Shaoyun's family would definitely get a share of the Pei Family's business. Only Old Master Pei knew how much it would be!
This was something that the other families couldn't tolerate.
Actually, all the other families had the intention of getting rid of Pei Shaoyun's family of three. However, no one really made a move. This was because … the current situation in the Pei Family was very complicated. Every family was either friend or foe. They fought each other openly and secretly. No one was willing to be the first one to stand out!
After all, if anyone made a move and others secretly coveted the Pei Family's assets, they could use it as evidence and report it to Old Master Pei. That would be a disaster!
The situation was complicated. Everyone was scheming and scheming against each other. This was the main reason why the Pei Family was unwilling to make a move. They weren't afraid of other things, but they were afraid of being stabbed in the back!
However, now that he saw Pei Feng again, Pei Xingtian knew that he couldn't wait any longer. He had to make a move!
He had left the capital and fought his way back to the capital alone. If Old Master Pei saw him and found out about his current situation, he would be in trouble!
…
To the middle-aged man, no matter who it was, anyone who dared to treat Pei Xingtian this way was equivalent to touching his reverse scale. This was unforgivable!
Had this good-for-nothing son of the Pei Family's sixth son changed or had he taken the wrong medicine?
In the past, whenever he saw Pei Xingtian, he would be so submissive that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Today, he dared to treat him with such an attitude!
A good-for-nothing who knew nothing about martial arts had entered the capital and won a property in a gamble. Now, he was so cocky that he thought he was someone important?!
He dared to treat the Second Young Master like this in front of so many people. He really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! He didn't even know how the word 'death' was written!
Pei Feng raised his head and glanced at him. He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, we'll meet again in the capital."
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly sharpened and he seemed to want to say something. However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and glanced at Pei Xingtian who had already returned to his seat.
He didn't look at Pei Feng again nor did he speak another word. He turned around silently and walked towards Pei Xingtian's table.
Pei Feng also didn't look at Pei Xingtian who was not far away. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a leisurely sip.
Although his expression seemed indifferent, an almost undetectable cold light flashed across his eyes.
As expected, it was a telepathic message!
Pei Xingtian … was a martial arts cultivator who had concealed his strength!
