"I only heard about this after the event."
Some people said that the longer one cultivated, the more stubborn and pure a person would be, and the less they understood the ways of the world.
This was not a lie.
Those old fellows who had cultivated for thousands of years spent most of their time in seclusion. They rarely walked outside and did not interact with others. In the long run, they would become more and more tired of everything in the world.
However.
Elder Wei was different.
Although he was also an old man who had cultivated for a thousand years, he rarely went into seclusion and spent most of his time in the secular world. Moreover, he was not very interested in attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal. Instead, he was more interested in chess, music, and other minor immortal arts. He was especially obsessed with gambling. Therefore, he had been mingling in the brothels for a thousand years. He was definitely an experienced Jianghu veteran.
Normally, if he was at the gambling house, no one would win big, and no one would lose their family fortune.
This was because he would usually intervene in such situations.
The so-called intervention was not to stop or persuade, but to participate in the gambling. He would use his superb gambling skills to determine the outcome of both sides. He would try his best to make the winner happy, and the loser would not lose too badly.
This was also why many young masters and even Sengoku Immortal Lords liked to gamble at the Exquisite Mountain Villa.
However, he was not at the gambling house yesterday, which caused Yue Jinghong, a nine-star immortal official, to lose hundreds of millions of Xuan-level assets.
"It doesn't matter if you knew before or after, as long as Steward Wei knows."
Peng Jia raised his wine cup to his lips and gently sniffed the wine. The meaning behind his words was very clear. He was questioning Elder Wei. As the steward of the Exquisite Mountain Villa, it was fine if he did not know beforehand that Yue Jinghong had lost everything here. However, since he knew after the event, why did he not ask that person to return the resources that he had won?
This made Elder Wei speechless for a moment.
What should he say?
Could it be that he told Peng Jia that he had tried to persuade him, but not only did the other party not listen to him, but he was also quite unreasonable?
This was not important, nor was it the reason why Elder Wei was conflicted.
What really made him feel conflicted was Gu Qingfeng's identity.
That was a person who had killed dozens of Immortal Lords in the northwest. Once his identity was exposed, it would definitely cause a sensation. Elder Wei did not want to provoke Immortal Mansion, nor did he want to have anything to do with Gu Qingfeng. Therefore, he chose to remain silent.
"I heard that person surnamed Gu is still living in the villa?"
While he was deep in thought, Peng Jia's deep voice sounded again. Elder Wei did not answer this question either.
"Haha.
Peng Jia smiled and put down his wine cup. He said, "It seems that the person with the surname Gu does not have a simple identity … Even you, Steward Wei, have to keep your mouth shut. However …" Peng Jia's smile turned into an arrogant sneer as he changed the topic. He said, "Today, I want to see who exactly is the person with the surname Gu."
........... and........................................................
"This …"
.........
Just then, a voice was heard. "Grand Duke Peng, you're really impressive."
Hmm?
Who was it?
Everyone looked over and saw a short, fat man who was less than 1.5 meters tall and had a round body slowly walking down from the second floor. He was wearing a tailor-made black robe, his hair was combed neatly, and he had a moustache.
He gave off a very comical feeling, like a nondescript clown. However, no one dared to laugh at him when they saw him because they all knew that he was one of the Lord Black Buddha's subordinates. He was Féquy, Big Boss Fei, who had been very popular in the Yan Luo Kingdom in recent years.
Peng Jia was slightly surprised to see Féquy. "Haha, I didn't expect Big Boss Fei to be enjoying himself here."
"Of course, everyone knows that I, Féquy, like this kind of thing. If I'm not here, where else can I be?" Féquy walked forward and sat beside an empty table. A maid came to pour wine for him. Féquy pinched the maid's butt hard, causing her to blush.
"I heard that Brother Yue lost a lot of money here yesterday. What's the matter? Are you here to settle the score today?"
"Féquy! This is my business, what does it have to do with you! "Yue Jinghong angrily glared at Féquy and shouted." Get out of my way if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson! "
"Oh?"
Féquy stroked his moustache and narrowed his eyes like a poisonous snake staring at Yue Jinghong. He smiled and said, "I wonder how Young Master Jinghong will teach me a lesson."
Yue Jinghong was about to speak when Peng Jia stopped him.
Féquy was now a popular person in the Yan Luo Kingdom.
That was not important.
The important thing was that he was backed by the Lord Black Buddha.
The Lord Black Buddha's business was so big that it covered the entire Yan Luo Kingdom. He also controlled many rare and precious spiritual veins. No one wanted to be enemies with the Lord Black Buddha. The four great families and seven great sects of the Yan Luo Kingdom would not. Even the Yan Luo Immortal Manor did not want to be enemies with the Lord Black Buddha. At least, they would not offend someone who controlled the economic lifeline of the Yan Luo Kingdom for trivial matters.
However.
What made Peng Jia surprised was that he did not know why Féquy would appear at this time. He asked, "What's the matter, Big Boss Fei?"
"I should be the one asking Grand Duke Peng this question." Féquy said with a smile. "I wonder if Grand Duke Peng has something to say?"
"Oh?"
Féquy's question made Peng Jia even more confused. He asked, "What does Big Boss Fei mean?"
"Nothing. Today, Grand Duke Peng came to the villa with such a big fuss. Didn't you want to find my Young Master?"
"Your Young Master?"
Peng Jia seemed to have realized something, but he was not sure. He asked, "You mean that person surnamed Gu is your Master?"
"Of course."
Hearing this.
There was an uproar in the venue.
Previously, everyone was guessing that the person who dared to win all of Yue Jinghong's money must have a strong background. However, no matter what, they did not expect that it was Féquy's Master.
Féquy was a person of the Lord Black Buddha. If he could become his Master, could it be that he was a descendant of the Lord Black Buddha?
But the key point was that the Lord Black Buddha did not have any descendants, not even a disciple.
If he was not a person of the Lord Black Buddha, could it be that he was the Young Master of the Red Branch?
This was also impossible.
It was impossible for Yue Jinghong not to know the famous Heaven's Pride of the Red Branch of the Yan Luo Country.
Who was the Young Master that Féquy was talking about?
No one knew.
Everyone was puzzled.
Peng Jia was the same. He thought for a long time, but he could not figure out who the Young Master that Féquy was talking about was.
"I wonder what the name of Big Boss Fei's Master is, and who he is. Can you let me meet him?"
"You don't need to know who my Young Master is." Féquy said bluntly. "As for meeting him, forget it. Today, my Young Master only wants to listen to music. He doesn't want to see anyone."
