God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

As soon as Lin Jiutian entered the room, he saw Pei Daoye talking to Zhou Qingyan, and his heart was already in turmoil.

I didn't step forward to interrupt him immediately.

Instead, he waited until everyone had finished speaking before he respectfully walked forward and greeted Pei Daoye.

Pei Daoye smiled and asked him to come and sit down, but he did not introduce Zhou Qingyan and the others to him. He just specifically mentioned that he wanted to thank the young woman sitting at the first seat.

"This is Miss Qi, a truly talented woman..."

Pei Daoye had just finished speaking when Miss Qi interrupted him with a smile: "Compared to Brother Pei, my talent is nothing. After meeting Brother Pei today, I finally understand what it means that there are always people better than you."

"Miss Qi is really polite. I am just repeating what others have said."

Pei Daoye repeatedly expressed his modesty.

Everyone exclaimed in praise, while Pei Daoye responded.

Lin Jiutian was stunned as he watched from the side. Was this still the puppet brother he knew who never left the house?
Such conversation!
Such temperament!
What style!
It's really crushing those losers in the inn!!!
Lin Jiutian was seated under the guidance of the housekeeper, but he dared not say a word. Even when someone handed him a glass of water, he lowered his voice to thank them. His eyes followed Pei Daoye all the time... full of worship.

"Brother Pei, please sing another song."

"Yes, Brother Pei, your words just now, 'I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine together, but it's not as good as the youth' really benefited me a lot."

……

Upon hearing this, even Lin Jiutian's eyes widened.

Damn it?

This sentence!!!

Directly deify him!
He looked incredulous.

Pei Daoye stood up amid the expectant gazes of the crowd, took three steps, and then raised his head, saying solemnly: "The country may be destroyed, but the mountains and rivers remain..."

As these five words were spoken, a sense of solemnity and sadness arose spontaneously.

The sight of the destroyed homes and mountains of corpses caused by the rampage of the celestial demon was still fresh in everyone's mind, and everyone fell silent.

Pei Daoye also sighed in his heart.

He felt that it was a good thing that Patriarch Hunyuan didn't use poetry to show off in this world, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to achieve such an effect with the poetry he could recite.

I also silently thanked Mr. Du in my heart.

"Thank you very much……"

The song "Spring Thoughts" blew up the whole audience.

Even Lin Jiutian couldn't help but applaud along with everyone else.

"I didn't expect Brother Pei to have such ambitions. I am really ashamed of myself."

Zhou Qingyan sighed softly.

Pei Daoye shook his head slightly: "I have seen too much suffering along the way. This is not just a matter of one country or one family, but something that all of us in Zhongzhou have to face together... I'm sorry that I lost my composure today and said these inappropriate words, but I don't regret it."

The tone has been set.

Pei Daoye knew very well what he was doing.

If you want to deal with these pretentious young men, you always have to have something to show for it.

He was also very clear before that too many people praising him was actually overpraising him.

But now, this poem "The country is destroyed but the mountains and rivers remain" has elevated his personality.

Miss Qi stared at him with burning eyes without saying a word. She completely concealed her thoughts.

Zhou Qingyan looked at Pei Daoye deeply and did not express his opinion rashly.

Although he is a member of the Zhou family, he is only a part of the Zhou family after all, and cannot make inappropriate remarks on behalf of the Zhou family.

But people like Aya all have great respect for Pei Daoye.

Everyone exchanged contact information with Pei Daoye, saying that they would chat often in the future. Pei Daoye accepted everyone's requests and naturally had to say some polite words... regardless of whether everyone's intentions were sincere or insincere.

Aya also blushed and changed to Pei Daoye's contact information.

is also like this.

Pei Daoye then realized that the girl's surname was Xu.

Xu, one of the four giants of Shangchu City!

After the show.

Lin Jiutian then walked closer with a look of admiration on his face. He really didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

"Senior Brother Pei..."

But before he could finish the rest of his words, the gauze curtain on one side was suddenly opened, and a heroic young woman walked in. Although she had no expression on her face, she spoke politely: "Master Pei, my lady invites you."

Pei Daoye looked at her when he heard her. He knew who she was, but he also felt a little strange.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingyan did not make any follow-up comments, but Miss Qi from the Seven Star Pavilion took the lead in extending the invitation.

"This is my friend, could you please arrange it for me?"

Pei Daoye also knew that the other party had invited him over, and his current reputation was not enough to make the host give him face.

Fortunately, the young woman was very considerate and nodded, saying, "Of course, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiutian looked at Pei Daoye, at a loss.

Pei Daoye nodded and smiled, "Old Lin, please wait for me for a moment."

"Yes Yes……"

Lin Jiutian keenly noticed that Pei Daoye did not call him junior brother, so he was unsure what Pei Daoye was thinking. He just thought that Pei Daoye was trying to hide his identity as a member of Xuanshan Sect.

But he never expected that Pei Daoye simply felt that calling him Lao Lin would make him seem more intimate, and in this way, the Seven Star Pavilion would definitely not make things difficult for him.

……

Pei Daoye was led to the top floor of the Seven Star Pavilion.

I didn't expect there was a mystery hidden inside.

Miss Qi was sitting in the pavilion with a chessboard in front of her. When she saw him appear, she smiled and said, "Brother Pei, will you play a game with me?"

"I don't know much about chess." Pei Daoye shook his head, but still sat down calmly.

Miss Qi obviously thought he was being modest, and started playing chess with him with great interest. However, she looked over with a strange expression after a while: "I didn't expect Brother Pei's chess skills to be so..."

"Just a bad chess player." Pei Daoye put down the black piece in his hand and shook his head, saying, "I lost."

He was quite calm.

Miss Qi was still not satisfied, and after a moment she said, "Brother Pei, you can come to the Seven Star Pavilion more often in the future. I will teach you how to play chess."

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Qi. Just don't think I'm too stupid and kick me out."

Pei Daoye made a joke.

Miss Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and laughed: "At first I thought you had the temper of a scholar, but now it seems that Brother Pei is more down-to-earth than I thought."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I am indeed complimenting you."

Miss Qi corrected Pei Daoye's statement with a serious look, then signaled the maid to refill the tea, and then said: "Brother Pei, are you planning to stay in Shangchu City permanently this time?"

Pei Daoye looked at her and saw Miss Qi's curious expression. He smiled softly and said, "Miss Qi, are you worried that I won't be able to improve my chess skills in a short time?"

Miss Qi knew what Pei Daoye meant, but she was so angry that she laughed: "Actually, you don't have to be on guard against me. In Shangchu City... I'm probably the only one willing to help you?"

Pei Daoye looked over after hearing this.

I don't understand why this woman would say that.

Just as he was thinking, Miss Qi said with a half-smile, "It seems that you and Zhou Qiran didn't do enough homework when you came here."

"Miss Qi, what does this mean?"

Pei Daoye's expression remained unchanged as he drank his tea slowly.

"Xuanshanmen has been making a big fuss about its investigation in Shangchu City. How could I not know about it? I'm just a little surprised that it took you so long to come out... I thought you would find a way to find me on the first day."

Miss Qi's words surprised Pei Daoye: "So you know I exist?"

"I only found out about it recently." Miss Qi paused and said, "It seems you know nothing."

As she spoke, the relief on her face gradually disappeared.

Pei Daoye didn't know whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand: "What do I need to know? Miss Qi actually found me here, I guess you have something to say to me? Why not just say it now, there's no need to waste each other's time."

Miss Qi took a sip of tea slowly, and seemed to be testing her intentionally: "The alchemists of Xuanshan Sect are quite famous in the whole Central Continent. I wonder how much of their true teachings Brother Pei has learned?"

"It seems you know my master?"

With just one sentence, Pei Daoye had already made some guesses.

Seeing him looking at her, Miss Qi said helplessly: "How come you don't know anything in Shangchu City? Didn't Uncle Duan tell you anything? I originally thought you came here to help me, it seems that you came here by accident? Okay."

She stroked her forehead, looking a little tired.

He sighed and said, "I don't know if you are ready, but now you are here. I think your coming must have something to do with the Zhou family."

Pei Daoye did not respond.

First of all, he didn't know the identity of this Miss Qi.

Secondly, Duan Changhou is already unconscious, so it is inconvenient for him to confirm the identity of Miss Qi.

But... I don’t know if Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Luo Li know about it.

Miss Qi didn't mind his silence, and said in a serious tone: "Zhou Qiran didn't hide his methods at all, so everyone knows what you are here for. Since you are in this team, I think you are here to investigate. I was a little hesitant about whether to contact you, but you are so interesting. Did you write those things?

Although there is no evidence of the mastermind behind the robbery of the goods, I suspect that it is related to the Zhou family. The reason why I will help you is because Uncle Duan has done us a favor. Since you are his disciple, we will naturally help you. "

Pei Daoye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does Xuanshanmen know about your existence?"

"Maybe."

Miss Qi expected Xuanshanmen's attitude to be not polite. She glanced at Pei Daoye's expression and said lightly: "If Xuanshanmen hadn't taken Uncle Duan away, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to see him for so many years."

"you?"

Pei Daoye raised his eyebrows and looked keenly.

Miss Qi looked at him and shook her head slowly: "I'm sorry, I think... with your current status, you are not qualified to know too much. You just need to know that we will care about your safety more here than Xuanshanmen, because you are Uncle Duan's apprentice, that's all."

Pei Daoye understood.

He didn't really care whether what the woman said was true or not.

But having said this, he immediately looked excited as if he had finally found his organization.

"So why do you suspect the Zhou family? Do we at the Seven Star Pavilion have more evidence?"

we……

Even though Miss Qi was well-mannered, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth at this moment.

I was wrong before, is this down-to-earth?

This is somewhat shameless.

I really can't imagine why Uncle Duan would choose such a person as his apprentice.

Uncle Duan won’t lose his integrity in his later years, right?
He looked strange for a long time.

Miss Qi took a deep breath and said, "There may be something wrong with that batch of goods. As far as I know, that batch of goods came from the Zhou family... The sudden appearance of the snatcher will naturally cover up the problem with this batch of goods."

"what is the problem?"

Pei Daoye asked.

Miss Qi glanced at him and said calmly, "Fake."

Pei Daoye was even more surprised: "So the goods that the Zhou family handed over to Xuanshanmen are fake. How dare they do that? Or...the previous goods were also fake?"

"I do not know."

Miss Qi said calmly: "The so-called goods are just some materials for refining equipment or some mundane things. It's not a big deal in itself, but if this matter is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. I think..."

"Xuanshan Sect will never allow such a thing to happen. After all, this concerns their reputation."

When Miss Qi uttered these last few words, she looked at Pei Daoye meaningfully.

Pei Daoye was thoughtful.

If what this woman said is true...

Then the outline of the matter is basically clear.

The Zhou family hid the truth, so they did not hesitate to kill the disciples of Xuanshan Gate who came to receive the goods, in order not to make a big deal out of it.

If Zhou Qiran wanted to investigate this matter, he naturally had to go through the Zhou family...

week……

"Is there any relationship between Zhou Qiran and this Zhou family?"

"No, we just have the same surname." Miss Qi said, and then glanced at Pei Daoye, smiling and saying, "I thought you and Zhou Qiran were on the same page."

Pei Daoye's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I am doing this for the Mountain Gate, so of course I have to be cautious."

Miss Qi did not comment.

Pick up the tea cup.

Pei Daoye had received enough information, but its authenticity had yet to be verified, so he did not plan to stay any longer.

I didn't expect that I was about to leave.

The maid outside reported that Zhou Qiran was here.

Miss Qi looked at Pei Daoye, her smile somewhat meaningful: "Just when I mentioned him, he came looking for me. Don't you think I want to hurt you?"

Pei Daoye remained calm: "Do you need me to leave?"

Miss Qi said calmly, "Of course I don't mind, but I advise you... it's best not to tell anyone about our true relationship."

A true relationship...

What's our relationship?
Pei Daoye wanted to leave, fearing that this woman would plot against him, but Zhou Qiran came over quickly. When he saw Pei Daoye here, he immediately narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"

"There's nothing I can do about you being so talented. Why did you come to see me, senior brother? Are you and Miss Qi old acquaintances?" Pei Daoye said with a smile and sat back in his chair.

Zhou Qiran was a little unsure of what he meant and looked at Miss Qi.

Miss Qi looked somewhat resentful.

Everyone looks like they have met a heartless person.

Zhou Qiran thought he had guessed it, and looked at Pei Daoye deeply: "There is a temporary mission that needs Junior Brother to take action. I come here rashly and I don't know if I will ruin Junior Brother's good deeds?"

"What good can I expect? I am just an ox or a horse. Tell me, what is this temporary mission?"

Pei Daoye asked casually.

A dog can't spit out ivory, and Zhou Qiran is not a good guy either.

"Junior brother, can you lend me a hand?"

Zhou Qiran's tone was much more polite at this moment. (End of this chapter)
