Who is so pretentious?
Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing both turned their eyes to the source of the sound.
After this male voice, there was another loud noise.
The huge banquet stage collapsed with a loud bang, and the dust spread like thick fog.
As the dust gradually settled, a tall and straight figure slowly came into their sight.
The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, with a dark grey coat casually draped over his broad shoulders.
In the ruins, the man walked steadily towards Huo Zhuo and Pei Yuemu.
He has a handsome face with three-dimensional features. He wears a pair of exquisite silver-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, and behind the lenses are a pair of deep and sharp eyes.
Despite being dressed so elegantly, he still couldn't conceal the majesty and oppression emanating from a man in a superior position.
This is the second male lead in the original text, Huo Jinran.
As the second male lead, Huo Jinran's abilities are naturally very powerful.
Without Ye Zhiwei's introduction, Jiang Zhaosu knew that Huo Jinran's special ability was "Word Spirit".
Any creature with a lower ability level than Huo Jinran will be controlled by his "Word Spirit" and obey his orders.
At first glance, Huo Jinran's ability seems like a bug, as if no one can disobey him.
But Jiang Zhaosu, who had read the original novel, knew that its flaws were also very obvious.
Similar to Jiang Zhaosu's psychic ability, once Huo Jinran encounters an opponent with a higher ability level than him, his "Word Spirit" will be ineffective and useless.
And this ability consumes a lot of energy.
Every time he used it, Huo Jinran ran the risk of backlash.
If he forced the call regardless of his own limits, he would be like the psychic mutant who overused his superpowers. Before Qi Xing could even hit it, it had already exhausted itself and become weak.
This is also why Huo Jinran can only be the second male lead.
His ability level is not as high as Pei Chixuan's, haha.
Seeing Huo Jinran looking so majestic and stylish now, Jiang Zhaosu couldn't help but recall some of the Shura scenes she had seen between him, Pei Chixuan and Cen Jiao, and laughed a little with some schadenfreude.
Qi Xing, who was standing beside him, took a closer look and saw that it was not Pei Yongyi. He curled his lips in disappointment and disdain, saying, "He's just pretending. He can't be choked to death by standing in such a thick dust."
The most annoying people are those who pretend to be cool.
I was just waiting for Pei Yongyi to use his supernatural powers to save my daughter, so what was this strange man showing off for?
What a good opportunity to spy on the opponent, it's gone.
Obviously, Pei Yuemu had the same idea.
Seeing Huo Jinran, Pei Yuemu's eyebrows raised slightly, but she quickly controlled her impatience and forced herself to adjust her expression to one of panic and fear. Her red eyes quickly filled with tears, and she looked at Huo Jinran tearfully: "Commander Huo..."
"I'm sorry, Miss Pei."
Out of courtesy, Huo Jinran leaned forward slightly and extended his gloved right hand towards Pei Yuemu. He said in a gentle and polite tone, "I'm sorry to have frightened you just now."
Pei Yuemu gently placed his hand, and with Huo Jinran's support, slowly stood up from the ground.
Pei Yongyi finally appeared from the backstage at this time. He looked a little like a father and ran towards Pei Yuemu anxiously.
He held his daughter's shoulders firmly with both hands and asked with concern: "Yuemu, are you okay?"
Pei Yuemu raised her eyes and met her father's concerned eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said in a trembling voice, "Dad, I'm fine..."
"I'm glad you're okay." Pei Yongyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her, and said thankfully, "I really scared Dad just now."
Pei Yuemu couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had such close contact with his father.
She climbed onto Pei Yongyi's shoulders with both hands, tilted her head slightly, gently pressed her cheek against her father's broad shoulders, and then closed her eyes.
The lights in the banquet hall poured down and fell on Pei Yuemu's face, reflecting the tears hanging on her long and thick eyelashes, making them sparkle like crystal, pure and bright.
This long-lost support made Pei Yuemu feel as if he had returned to his childhood.
During the dark time when his mother had just passed away, Pei Yongyi often held her like this and comforted her with a gentle voice when she cried.
But as Pei Chixuan grew up, Pei Yongyi's attention was taken away by her younger brother.
After that, no matter how excellent her grades were or how outstanding her performance was, she could not get the kind of unconditional pampering and loving look that Pei Yongyi gave Pei Chixuan.
Was Pei Yongyi really worried about her just now?
Or is he worried that if she dies, no one will marry into the Dawn Base anymore, and the Moon Chasing Base will never recover?
Why didn't he show up when Huo Zhuo reached out to push her towards the mutant?
Isn't it worth it for him to expose his last secret weapon even if she loses her life?
"Uncle, are you okay?"
On the other side, Huo Jinran lifted his order to Huo Zhuo and pulled him up from the ground.
"No, I'm fine." Huo Zhuo looked like he had survived a disaster, patting his chest with lingering fear, "I was just scared to death..."
At the tender moment of the four people, a clear female voice suddenly rang out: "He just tried to push Sister Mumu!"
Yu Nian also wanted to use his supernatural powers to save Pei Yuemu, but he was one step late than Huo Jinran.
But she clearly saw Huo Zhuo reaching out to Pei Yuemu, trying to push her towards the mutant.
After the danger was over, Yu Nian was afraid that Pei Yuemu didn't know about this, so he immediately spoke out loudly.
Huo Zhuo blushed immediately after his shameful thoughts were exposed by a little girl, and he quickly argued, "What nonsense are you talking about, little kid! I just wanted to pull Mu Mu into my arms so that I could protect her! Pei Yuemu is my fiancée, how could I hurt her!"
