The shock and disorientation he had just experienced made him feel even more ashamed!
He crushed the folding fan, worth a thousand taels of silver, in his hand.
His previously warm smile vanished, replaced by a fierce expression.
Looking around, Pei Shaoji roared, each word distinct and deliberate.
"Which one of you is Young Master Mu? I am Pei Shaoji! Please come out and meet me."
As the sound faded, silence fell, broken only by the gentle lake breeze that stirred the flickering candlelight on the boat.
At this moment, Xiao Xiuning and Mr. Dongshan arrived together.
Pei Shaoji's fierce appearance instilled fear in those around him, who quickly moved away.
Seeing that no one answered, Pei Shaoji's gaze became even more ferocious.
It was like a wild wolf that would devour anyone it could.
Upon seeing this, Pei Jianzhi immediately stepped forward and shouted.
"Anyone who dares to disrespect the Pei family will be rendered utterly without a foothold in this capital!"
Upon hearing this, the students involuntarily took a few steps back, fearing that if the city gate caught fire, the innocent bystanders would be affected.
Xiao Xiuning witnessed this scene and couldn't help but frown.
The Pei family's arrogance has reached such an extreme!
The surrounding students feared him like a jackal.
Just as Xiao Xiuning stepped forward to reprimand him.
A voice, tinged with amusement and laced with sarcasm, drifted from afar.
"The Pei family? What a load of rubbish!"
Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this!
Someone actually dared to publicly insult the Pei family in front of so many people!
Is this person courting death?
Pei Shaoji looked toward the source of the sound.
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yunxue's expression changed.
Because she knew that voice so well!
Xiao Xiuning, who was about to step forward, stopped silently after hearing the voice, a smile appearing on her lips.
Pei Shaoji and Lu Zhengping felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
The pleasure boat rocked! The lights flickered in response.
Suddenly, a firework shot into the sky and exploded in the heavens!
The dazzling light illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime!
At this very moment! Everyone finally saw the figure hidden in the darkness.
His eyebrows were like swords drawn to his temples, and his phoenix eyes shone with power.
A long robe trailed to the ground, exuding an air of scholarly refinement.
What a fine gentleman, like jade among men, unparalleled in the world.
Lu Zhengping's voice trembled slightly as he pointed at the figure and shouted.
"Young Master Pei...is this madman!"
Pei Shaoji looked at him with a gloomy gaze and asked in a cold voice.
Who are you?
As soon as he finished speaking, he wiped off his makeup and snapped open his folding fan.
A gentle breeze stirred his long hair at his temples, and under everyone's gaze, his thin lips parted slightly.
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"Duke of Dali Town".
"Mu Zian".
