God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"he?"

The young man was stunned for a moment before he realized who Zhou Qiran was referring to. He quickly smiled and said, "He is very honest now. He rarely goes out and doesn't ask about our affairs. Brother, if you ask me, he is a small figure and not worth mentioning. I don't know what means he used to join our team. I guess he is just here to gild his reputation."

Zhou Qiran did not respond.

The young man was asking for trouble, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He waited carefully for a while, and Zhou Qiran began to assign tasks, as if the person who had just asked Pei Daoye was not him at all.

The young man quickly said yes and then left.

……

"Brother, you called me?"

Lin Jiutian seemed very polite when he appeared next to Pei Daoye, and it seemed that he was not the same just because everyone in the team was isolating Pei Daoye.

"sit."

Pei Daoye looked friendly and amiable. He took out the book in his hand, pointed to a place and said, "I've read the book you gave me last time. This old senior, Wu Weiyong, said that he had seen seven stars in a row in the northwest, and said it was a sign of auspiciousness. Junior brother, you know a lot about this. Tell me more about it."

Lin Jiutian's expression was actually a little strange.

In fact, from the very beginning, he was quite looking forward to what this Senior Brother Pei would do.

But what surprised him was.

Pei Daoye had no intention of fighting back from beginning to end, as if he was just here to gild his resume as his senior brothers had said.

But that didn't stop him from being attentive.

"This Wu Weiyong is actually from our country..."

Lin Jiutian talked a lot and felt dry in his mouth. Later, Pei Daoye poured him a glass of water with a smile.

Lin Jiutian was flattered: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"I see you haven't come much these days. Is it because Senior Brother Zhou has arranged more and more things?"

When talking about this, Lin Jiutian also complained a little: "Things have not progressed well, and there is no direction for breakthrough so far."

Pei Daoye thought for a moment, put down the travel notes in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the recent situation."

Lin Jiutian was stunned, but he quickly repeated it.

The Zhou family said they were willing to help, but the clues they provided were limited, and they faced great obstacles in their local investigation.

"What's the obstacle?" Pei Daoye looked over.

Lin Jiutian moved his mouth and lowered his voice and said: "The entire Shangchu City..."

Pei Daoye was stunned.

Lin Jiutian smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone knows that we are from Xuanshanmen. They said we came to investigate, which made everyone feel uneasy. Many representatives of foreign companies are worried that it will lead to a liquidation by Xuanshanmen, and then all the people and goods will be eaten up."

Pei Daoye looked strange: "Why do you think so? If we find out the truth, won't we be able to have a clear business environment?"

Lin Jiutian wanted to say something but stopped.

Seeing his behavior, Pei Daoye couldn't help but ask, "It can't be that the mountain gate has really done something like this before, right?"

"This matter is a bit complicated...it also involves the top leaders of our Xuanshan Sect."

Lin Jiutian didn't dare to say more.

But now there were only the two of them, and Pei Daoye asked him to speak, and he did not dare to offend, so he said a surname.

"Zhu..."

Zhu?
It’s another high-ranking member of Xuanshan Sect... Who else could it be? It goes without saying.

Pei Dao's ambition moved.

He suddenly had a guess.

Is it possible that Mo Changqing asked him to investigate the Zhou family in order to drag the Zhu family into the water?
It's not impossible.

Brother Li has already said it.

Mo Changqing is a Nascent Soul.

Zhu Hetao is also a Nascent Soul.

These two are the most likely successors to the entire Xuanshan Sect.

But is Mo Changqing really doing this just to eliminate his competitors?
Pei Daoye frowned slightly.

Although he didn't have much contact with Mo Changqing, it seemed that this guy was not such a utilitarian person.

Maybe he guessed wrong.

Or maybe...

He just didn't know enough.

"As the local boss, doesn't the Zhou family have any expression?"

Pei Daoye asked again.

Lin Jiutian said with a bitter face: "They did show their appreciation, but they also said... when we needed help, they immediately arranged for help without saying anything. They have shown their appreciation, and they can't just keep wasting time. After all, they want to do business."

Pei Daoye did not give any explanation, but just thought quietly.

Suddenly there was a noise in the distance.

Interrupted his thoughts.

He stood up and opened the window to look over. There were quite a few people gathered on the street. "Is there anything exciting happening recently?"

Lin Jiutian quickly replied, "There is a poetry gathering. I heard that Mr. Zhou Er from Shangchu City is very handsome and talented in writing, so he is very popular in the local area."

Pei Daoye thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Are you busy? If not, come with me for a walk."

Lin Jiutian hurriedly followed.

After the two of them left, the other disciples of Xuanshan Sect just glanced at them calmly and then looked away.

Some people secretly sneered and even reported the matter to Zhou Qiran, but Zhou Qiran just asked back with a cold look, "Are you free?", which made the person blush immediately.

……

Pei Daoye didn't want to go to the poetry reading, but to use the venue to observe the second son of the Zhou family.

"Which one is Zhou Lao Er?"

After hearing what Pei Daoye said, Lin Jiutian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but fortunately he held it back in time and quietly nodded with his hand.

Pei Daoye looked at the handsome young man and nodded: "He is indeed good-looking, but he is still a little inferior to Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Jiutian waved his hands in fear and trepidation, "What am I doing..."

As soon as he saw Pei Daoye, he said to him: "Brother, you are truly one in a million. To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought you were the young master of a wealthy and prestigious family. I am not saying these nice things to curry favor with you. Your temperament is enough to lead the trend."

Pei Daoye couldn't help laughing at the boy's series of words.

You say he is honest, but he is indeed good at flattering people.

But it is quite interesting that such a talent was deliberately kept in the dark by Zhou Qiran.

"Let's go."

Pei Daoye said something and walked straight forward. Lin Jiutian was stunned for a moment and quickly followed him. Unexpectedly, he met one of the three giants under Zhou Qiran.

"What are you doing here?"

The young man in blue frowned and scolded.

But when he said this, he was only staring at Lin Jiutian.

Lin Jiutian was so terrified that he didn't know how to respond.

If he said that he followed Pei Daoye out, would it cause trouble for Pei Daoye?

It’s not that he was thinking about Pei Daoye.

But he knew very well that Pei Daoye's status in these people's eyes was not high enough, and he could not handle it.

On the contrary, saying this will make people hate him.

The young man in blue was about to continue scolding, but Pei Daoye interrupted him and said, "Who are you?"

"Ok?"

The blue-clothed youth's anger stagnated. Even Lin Jiutian was stunned. If Pei Daoye hadn't looked at him with a puzzled expression, he would have thought that this Senior Brother Pei was going to give the other party a "show of power".

After Lin Jiutian came back to his senses, he quickly said, "Senior Brother Pei, this is Senior Brother Lan Litianlan."

The young man in blue took a deep breath and looked at Pei Daoye with a threatening look in his eyes, but he didn't expect Pei Daoye to slowly say, "Why are you here if you don't want to check the mission? Although I won't interfere in your affairs, since the dean has asked me to be the deputy commander, I will still record the performance of each of you truthfully."

Upon hearing this, Lan Litian's expression changed slightly.

He had forgotten that this person could communicate with Mo Changqing personally.

If not.

As a fifth-level foundation-building master, there is no need for him to report anything to an inner court disciple who has just established his foundation.

He immediately calmed down and said in a muffled voice, "I was ordered to come here to collect intelligence."

"Go ahead, do your job well and don't let the dean down." Pei Daoye waved his hand.

Lan Litian's face was blue and white, but he didn't dare to offend Pei Daoye again. He bowed and said goodbye.

Pei Daoye didn't take this matter to heart at all.

But Lin Jiutian was amazed by her beauty.

He had always thought that this Senior Brother Pei had a nerdy temper, but this time he saw with his own eyes that he was quite tough.

Throat rolled.

He wanted to say something.

Thanks to Pei Daoye for taking action, otherwise he would not be able to withstand Lan Litian’s anger.

But Pei Daoye didn't take this matter to heart at all. He took him to the poetry meeting and read many poetry collections along the way.

"ah!"

He accidentally bumped into a young girl, who screamed in pain, attracting onlookers from all around.

"I'm sorry I was so absorbed in these poems that I didn't notice. Are you okay?"

Pei Daoye apologized loudly, looking elegant and easy-going.

The girl frowned and rubbed her shoulders, wondering if this man was made of iron, as he could have caused such pain to others.

"Aya, are you okay?"

A calm male voice came.

As soon as he arrived, people around him called him "Mr. Zhou Er".

The person who came was Zhou Qingyan, the most elegant son of the Zhou family.

"I'm fine, Brother Qingyan, this is the poetry collection I found for you, can you take a look at it?"

The girl immediately handed the book over, not caring about the fact that Pei Daoye bumped into her.

Zhou Qingyan looked at her, then at Pei Daoye. Seeing that he looked unfamiliar, he became interested: "Is this brother also here to attend the poetry gathering?"

"I am not talented, but I have come here to appreciate your elegance and have really benefited a lot. This book is written by Mr. Yan Qingzi, right? Most of his poems describe mountains and rivers. Reading this old gentleman's poems is enough to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers in various places..."

Pei Daoye was an eloquent speaker, occasionally quoting a few representative works of Mr. Yan Qingzi, which made it completely hard to imagine that he had just collected the information during the past two days.

Lin Jiutian beside him was stunned.

The girl called Aya did not hold grudges against herself and recited a few lines of Mr. Yan Qingzi's poems with great interest. She received Pei Daoye's affirmation and blushed for a moment, but with Pei Daoye's encouraging gaze, she added a few more of her own opinions, attracting many people nearby to join in.

When even Zhou Qingyan began to express his opinions, nearly a hundred people had gathered at the scene.

It seemed that Pei Daoye, Zhou Qingyan, Aya and the two young men had become the center of discussion.

"who am I?"

"where am I?"

When Lin Jiutian was pushed to the edge of the crowd, he watched the young masters and daughters of wealthy families in Shangchu City listening attentively to Pei Daoye's introduction of several masterpieces. He felt it was totally unreal.

"Brother Pei, I'm sorry for being so inconvenient. Please come in."

After being reminded by others, Zhou Qingyan reacted immediately and politely invited Pei Daoye to come in and take a seat.

A group of people gathered together and walked towards the house.

Most people were stopped.

Because the inner room is the VIP living room, ordinary people can't enter at all.

Lin Jiutian was stopped outside the door along with everyone else. He watched helplessly as Pei Daoye's figure disappeared, at a loss.

People were brought in by him.

In the end, he was the only one trapped outside the door. This...

go?
Lin Jiutian didn't dare.

He had originally planned to stay here and wait for Pei Daoye to come out, but he accidentally saw Lan Litian again... Old Lan was frowning and his eyes also swept over.

Eyes facing each other.

Lin Jiutian didn't dare pretend that he saw nothing, and hurriedly bowed and saluted to the dozen figures who were several meters away.

Lan Litian's eyes flashed, and he took a few steps closer, jokingly saying, "Why didn't you go in with your Senior Brother Pei?"

"I... I am just a nobody, a rough guy who knows nothing. It would be useless for me to go there. Instead, I would bring shame to Senior Brother Pei."

Lin Jiutian smiled awkwardly and didn't feel embarrassed.

He only knew that it was absolutely unwise to say bad things about Pei Daoye at this time, and it was not in his character.

"Shame on you? Don't you have enough shameful things to do?"

Lan Litian snorted coldly.

Lin Jiutian was choked in the face and did not dare to refute. He could only smile bitterly and nodded repeatedly with his head down... "Yes, yes, yes."

That's when.

Suddenly, an old man dressed as a butler walked out of the hall quickly and asked politely, "Excuse me, is that Mr. Lin Jiutian?"

Lin Jiutian was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly addressed as "Mr.": "Who am I?"

He looked over uncertainly.

The old housekeeper hurried over politely: "Mr. Lin, Master Pei has sent a message, please come in together, please follow me."

He didn't even look at Lan Litian, as if it didn't matter at all.

Lin Jiutian was flattered and looked at Lan Litian with suspicion, but was afraid that he would be missed, so he quickly followed the old butler and left.

But even so, Lan Litian just stood there in a daze, his expression... shocked and angry.

how come……

He simply couldn't understand it.

How could Pei Daoye become the guest of honor at the Qixing Pavilion Poetry Gathering so easily?

Even his senior brother Zhou needed the help of the elders of the mountain gate to be qualified to enter.

But no matter how confused he was, he didn't dare to rush in rashly.

The Seven Star Pavilion itself is a behemoth for him. Although he can rely on the identity of Xuanshan Sect, he is only a foundation builder after all.

And the old butler who came out just now is indeed a real golden elixir.

To make such a strong man just become a butler... he couldn't imagine the person behind this.

"Could it be that... this deputy commander has actually been investigating secretly? He was able to conceal the truth and avoid my... and Senior Brother Zhou's sight. Is this a power possessed by those at the first level of foundation building?"

"Could it be that!"

"Did the dean secretly give him other powers?"

Think of this.

Lan Litian, a cultivator at the fifth level of foundation building, even staggered when he turned around and left.

"Is it too late for me to hug my thigh now!!!" (End of this chapter)
