"Pei Feng, where have you been? We have been looking for you just now. "
Walking back to the hall, he met Xu Lu and Zhuang Feiyu.
Seeing Pei Feng, the first one to speak was not Zhuang Feiyu, but Xu Lu.
Earlier in the hall, he had been stuck between Pei Feng and Zhuang Feiyu, feeling like he was the third wheel. After that, he became doubtful, disappointed, and even despised, until Zhou Wanqiu's domineering appearance …
Her feelings were very complicated.
She and Pei Feng were the first to know each other, but now the one who was closer to Pei Feng was her best friend, Zhuang Feiyu …
She was a little regretful of her attitude just now — although Zhuang Feiyu was panic-stricken, she still stood by Pei Feng, but she chose to walk away. It was impossible that Pei Feng did not see all this …
Just now, when Luo Yixing came to look for her, she coldly rejected him — previously, Luo Yixing's behavior of adding insult to injury made her feel very disgusted. What he did was very insidious, not right, and not manly. Compared to Pei Feng, this kind of disgust was even stronger. Tonight, she did not want to talk to him at all.
"I had something to do just now."
Pei Feng replied faintly, walked straight past her, and stood in front of Zhuang Feiyu.
"Light Rain, just now, you have been standing by my side to protect me. I am sorry."
He smiled at Zhuang Feiyu and said softly, "In the future, if you have any problems, you can come to me. As long as I can help you, I will."
Zhuang Feiyu was stunned, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red. She pouted and said, "Pei Feng, what did you call me just now? Light Rain? You … You've always called me by my name, Zhuang Feiyu. "
Pei Feng couldn't help but laugh. "We're so familiar with each other … Of course, I can't call him by his name. That's impolite. From now on, I'll call you Light Rain. "
Zhuang Feiyu looked at him without blinking, her eyes gleaming.
"I can look for you for anything? Is it like the promise you made to Lulu, that you will always protect and take care of me? "
Pei Feng gently touched her head and slowly said word by word, "This is my promise to you, to protect and take care of Xu Lu … This is my promise to her mother, Aunt Shen. This is different. "
As soon as he said that, Xu Lu's expression changed instantly.
This was different …
These four words were enough to explain everything.
In Pei Feng's heart, she, Xu Lu, and Zhuang Feiyu were different. Protecting and taking care of Zhuang Feiyu was his own will, but protecting and taking care of her … was only because of his promise to Aunt Shen!
Xu Lu stared at him, her chest slightly moving up and down, but her eyes couldn't exchange for Pei Feng's eyes — Pei Feng didn't even look at her.
At this moment, Xu Lu's heart was completely out of balance and couldn't calm down for a long time.
What's so great about you!
Even if you're good at fighting, even if you have Jiangnan's Zhou family behind you, it's not your own! You're still not as handsome as Luo Yixing, not as tall as him, not as rich as him, not as good at studying!
Luo Yixing is still tall, rich and handsome, and you're still short, ugly and poor, this is a fact that can't be changed!
Pei Feng didn't know these little thoughts in Xu Lu's heart, he just quietly looked at Zhuang Feiyu, a trace of gentleness in his eyes.
Previously when he had a conflict with Zhan Pengfei in the hall, when he was ridiculed, despised and surrounded by the people around him, only Zhuang Feiyu desperately defended him, helped him argue, and refused to leave.
This, of course, Pei Feng wouldn't forget.
Zhuang Feiyu didn't know that he was a demonic cultivator, nor did she know that he had Jiangnan's Zhou family behind him. In this kind of situation, she still decided to stand on his side, Pei Feng's heart was really touched by her actions.
In his previous life, Zhuang Feiyu didn't have anything to do with him, he didn't know what kind of person she was, but in this life … other than Aunt Shen, there was another person who treated him the best — — Zhuang Feiyu.
In his heart, he already felt a bit of intimacy towards this big director's daughter, of course, it was the intimacy he felt towards his own sister.
When Pei Feng touched her head, Zhuang Feiyu's face became even redder.
This was an intimate action, and it was done in front of everyone …
She was a bit embarrassed to look at him, so she shyly bit her lips and lowered her head.
"Light Rain, Xu Lu, the banquet is about to start, you guys have fun. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. "
"Ah? You're leaving? "Zhuang Feiyu was startled," Do you want me to send you? "
"No need."
Pei Feng smiled at her, turned around, and walked in the direction of the clubhouse's entrance.
Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu also smiled and nodded at Zhuang Feiyu, then left.
Behind them, Uncle Xu's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep look at Zhuang Feiyu and Xu Lu, then waved his hand to call over the person in charge of the hall, "In a moment, arrange the seats for these two ladies in the first row of the banquet. They're Mr. Pei's friends, so don't neglect them, do you understand?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu."
…
Back at Autumn Mountain Villa, Pei Feng didn't even greet Elder Zhou and directly went to the backyard.
The backyard of Autumn Mountain Villa was now a scene of desolation.
As far as the eye could see, it was a withered yellow, and all the plants had died. Even the creepers on the wall had not been spared.
Practicing demonic cultivation and devouring Heaven and Earth's vital energy was inevitable. Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth's vital energy under the ancient well was still abundant, so it could be used for a while.
Sitting at the mouth of the well, Pei Feng took out the thunderstruck wood.
"What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect to find the existence of a Wood Spirit in this antique collection exchange. This is one of the best treasures a demonic cultivator can use before reaching the Yuanying stage! "
Pei Feng was overjoyed. He originally thought that the Earth's vital energy was nearly exhausted, and had long become a barren land for cultivators. He thought that there wouldn't be any good treasures left, but now it seemed … that wasn't the case. He was wrong.
A Wood Spirit was the core of a Tree Demon, equivalent to a human cultivator's dantian.
Ten thousand trees produced a Demon, and a thousand Demons produced a Wood Spirit. Not all Tree Demons could evolve into a Wood Spirit.
In the Immortal, Devil, and Demon Realms, Wood Spirits were extremely rare treasures. A hundred year old Wood Spirit was comparable to a miracle pill, a thousand year old Wood Spirit was considered an excellent treasure, and a ten thousand year old Wood Spirit was considered a top-notch treasure.
This thunderstruck wood … was an extremely rare ten thousand year old Wood Spirit!
Even in the Immortal, Devil, and Demon Realms, Pei Feng's eyesight was top-notch. This thunderstruck wood was not as simple as a ten thousand year old Wood Spirit.
If he was not wrong, the old tree in the past should be a thousand years old. This piece of wood spirit should have evolved at the critical moment when it was about to become a demon but not yet become a demon.
Unfortunately … he didn't know what happened. Perhaps it was the sharp decline of Heaven and Earth's vital energy, or perhaps it was coveted and attacked by cultivators or other Demons. The old tree failed on the verge of success, and eventually died, unable to become a true Tree Demon.
