God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

No one knew what Zhou Qiran and Pei Daoye talked about, but after Pei Daoye left, his expression was not very good.

……

"Miss, they are all gone."

Inside the top floor.

A young woman dressed as a knight walked forward and respectfully reported the situation of Pei Daoye and Zhou Qiran.

In this regard.

Miss Qi didn't seem surprised. "They have been in Chu City for at least half a month. Zhou Qiran's suppression of him is almost all-round. It can be seen that Uncle Duan's situation is not very good."

"Do you really want to help him? Xuanshan Sect is too big a target now, and the Immortal Alliance is also eyeing you, Miss..."

The female knight looked over with some concern.

Miss Qi calmly poured a cup of tea, motioned for her to sit down, and then answered the question.

"We help him, of course, more because he is Uncle Duan's man, and secondly, Xuanshan Sect may not be without the confidence to compete with the Immortal Alliance."

The female knight was startled.

Miss Qi just smiled and took a sip of tea. She didn't explain the reason in detail and handed over the list in front of her: "This is the list that the old man wants. Go and collect a copy for him. As for Pei Daoye's matter... forget it, I will talk to him in person."

"Yes."

The female knight was about to leave.

Miss Qi added: "Tell them not to get too close to Pei Daoye, just communicate normally. He is in a difficult situation now. If he is targeted by the Immortal Alliance again, his life will become even more difficult."

"I see."

The room became quiet again, and Miss Qi slowly tasted the tea from the Fountain of Youth.

She knew it.

Xuanshan Sect allowed Pei Daoye to appear in Shangchu City. Who would believe that there was no ulterior motive behind this?

And only a few people know the relationship between Uncle Duan and them.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

"interesting."

……

……

After Pei Daoye left the Seven Star Pavilion, he was not in a hurry to leave. He continued to wander around the street with the terrified Lin Jiutian.

At this moment, Lin Jiutian admired him from the bottom of his heart. He talked more along the way and was also quite curious about the relationship between Pei Daoye and Miss Qi.

But Pei Daoye just smiled and said nothing.

As if casually asking, "Junior Brother Lin, you have been with Senior Brother Zhou for quite some time, right?"

"Yes……"

Lin Jiutian didn't know why Pei Daoye asked this.

Pei Daoye suddenly exposed his disguise: "In the past half month, you have been ordered around by them. To be honest, I don't quite understand why you work so hard."

Lin Jiutian's expression suddenly changed: "Senior Brother Pei, I..."

But Pei Daoye interrupted, "Everyone has their own ideas. Although I don't understand, I respect your choice. But now you have to think clearly. Since I plan to take action, I can't let you play dumb in front of me like before. Make a decision... Either continue to act like this and be stepped on by them from now on. Or use me, and Dean Mo is behind me."

After saying the last three words, he no longer paid attention to the confused Lin Jiutian.

The two continued walking.

But they were no longer talking and laughing like before.

Pei Daoye admired everything around him, while Lin Jiutian lowered his head and seemed to be in great confusion.

Suddenly someone shouted.

"Brother Pei, please stay."

Zhou Qingyan's carriage passed by and stopped steadily beside.

Lin Jiutian was somewhat surprised and did not dare to speak.

Pei Daoye looked over with gentle eyes: "Brother Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Qingyan slightly lifted the curtain, and said in a rather complicated tone: "My second uncle has always been in charge of the case. I don't know if Brother Pei's appearance today is a coincidence, but I think I should make it clear... I never get involved in family affairs, so I'm sorry I can't help."

"Brother Zhou, you are worrying too much. Although I am responsible for this, Senior Brother Shanmen has always been in charge of this matter. I am not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you. If you ask me about the details of this case, I can't tell you anything. Today is nothing more than joining in the fun. If Brother Zhou has any grievances, there is no need to have any contact with us in the future."

Pei Daoye spoke frankly.

Zhou Qingyan's expression was bright and dark, and finally he sighed and said, "I thought too much. Brother Pei, please get in the car. I will be the host today and apologize to Brother Pei."

"Brother Zhou, can I bring someone with me?"

Pei Daoye asked.

Zhou Qingyan looked at Lin Jiutian who was standing three steps behind with his head down, and nodded slightly: "Of course, let him sit in the carriage behind me."

Pei Daoye looked at Lin Jiutian.

Lin Jiutian returned to his previous fearful look and obediently followed the Zhou family's butler into the carriage behind.

Pei Daoye got on Zhou Qingyan's carriage. The two sat opposite each other in the spacious carriage. Zhou Qingyan seemed to have really believed his explanation and returned to his previous cheerful and talkative manner as he did in the Seven Star Pavilion.

He was a man of talent, and could speak eloquently. Ordinary people could not keep up with his quick thinking, but Pei Daoye's quotations from classics convinced him.

"In the entire Shangchu City, there are not many people who can match my chess skills. Brother Pei is the only one who impressed me the most. I have learned a lot today."

Zhou Qingyan said with a fist clasped.

Pei Daoye pushed down his fist and said, "Brother Zhou, please don't say that. Although I have read a lot of books, I am also a closed-minded person. Only by communicating with talented people like Brother Zhou can I make up for my shortcomings. There will be opportunities to learn from each other in the future. Brother Zhou, please don't hesitate to teach me in the future."

"Brother Pei, your words are too serious. When drinking with a bosom friend, a thousand cups are not enough. I must not leave until I am drunk today."

"Haha, definitely."

The restaurant business is good.

It should be the best restaurant in Shangchu City.

As the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingyan naturally has no shortage of this money.

When Pei Daoye just arrived, someone was already waiting at the door to greet them, complimenting them and saying nice things.

However, Zhou Qingyan did not put on airs as the second young master of the Zhou family. He smiled gently, asked the butler beside him to give him some reward money, and led Pei Daoye into a special room.

The news of this private gathering soon reached Zhou Qiran's ears.

He had just returned to the inn and was caught off guard by the news.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"Brother, I saw this with my own eyes. Zhou Qingyan was very enthusiastic towards him. It didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time. They must have known each other for a long time."

Lan Litian said quickly, looking at Zhou Qiran cautiously, trying to judge what he was thinking.

However, Zhou Qiran only frowned slightly and said calmly: "Zhou Qingyan is just an outsider, no need to pay attention to him. The key is the Seven Star Pavilion. Haven't they found out their origins yet?"

"It is indeed very clean. It is said that the woman surnamed Qi is also related to the Immortal Alliance. We dare not investigate rashly... There are no less than three Jindan cultivators around her. This is not the confidence that ordinary forces can have."

Lan Litian hurriedly reported.

Zhou Qiran was not surprised at all: "What we need to do is not to dig deep into who is the actual controller behind the Seven Stars Pavilion, but to find out whether they are related to this case...Have you found the shipping bill that I asked you to investigate secretly?"

Lan Litian's face changed slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "Brother, I'm still investigating... But I have found out that someone from the Xu family has had contact with the shipping bill, and I plan to start from this." Zhou Qiran did not comment on this, but just said lightly: "I know you intend to join Elder Zhu of the Inspection Office, but if this matter fails, the elite team of the Inspection Office will directly eliminate you, and you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Lan Litian's face suddenly turned red. He didn't dare to refute anything. He could only agree repeatedly and finally fled in panic.

Zhou Qiran sat alone in the room and spread out all the secret letters. However, before he read the third secret letter, he suddenly stopped all movements, frowned and fell into thought.

……

As soon as Lan Litian left the study, his expression changed rapidly. He thought for a long time and muttered to himself, "So, Junior Brother Pei seems to have a better chance of winning?"

……

……

Inside the restaurant.

Pei Daoye didn't know what Zhou Qiran was worried about at the moment, and was drinking and chatting with Zhou Qingyan.

"I am two years older than you, so I will call you brother. The fact that I met you in Shangchu City shows that we are destined to be together."

Zhou Qingyan wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the air, and a flash of sword light was like lightning rising in the darkness, suddenly tearing through the window and slashing towards Zhou Qingyan's head.

"boom!"

A green light appeared in front of Zhou Qingyan, just blocking the sword. However, the wine glass in his hand exploded completely, and the wine splashed all over him. He was also frightened and staggered and fell off the chair.

Pei Daoye stood up quickly, not knowing whether the killer who suddenly appeared was targeting him or the second young master of the Zhou family.

"Brother Zhou, are you okay?"

"Fortunately...are they here to kill you?" Zhou Qingyan spoke without thinking.

Pei Daoye heard this and before he could say anything, the hair-raising sound was heard again, this time it came through the window and chopped towards Zhou Qingyan.

Pei Daoye didn't move.

I watched Zhou Qingyan dodge flexibly and use the green light to block the opponent's sword light.

After he finished doing all this, he looked at Pei Daoye in surprise and doubt.

"Obviously...brother, have you offended someone?"

Zhou Qingyan smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "How can I, a scholar, offend anyone?"

"Your last name is Zhou after all."

Pei Daoye had just finished speaking when he realized something and took a step back. The wall next to him was knocked open, and he saw two masked killers in black clothes coming towards him from the left and right.

Pei Daoye raised his eyebrows slightly.

He suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, actually crashing into the opponent with his chest.

The two killers were also stunned.

It seemed that he didn't expect Pei Daoye to dare to do this.

next second.

Suddenly, a sword light vibrated in the void, and the air and light seemed to be distorted, with ripples spreading in the air.

"Pfft!"

In silence, two sword flowers suddenly appeared in the void.

The two killers who rushed over had blood splattered on their shoulders and flew backwards.

When Zhou Qingyan saw this scene, he shouted in surprise and rushed over: "Brother Pei, save me!!!"

Pei Daoye was so angry at this guy that he laughed: "Brother Zhou, you have a magic weapon on you, throw it out and kill them!"

He deliberately did not kill the two killers directly, also wanting to test Zhou Qingyan.

Who knows if this killer was deliberately arranged by the Zhou family.

Seeing these two people rushing over again.

Zhou Qingyan said quickly: "Brother Pei, you may not believe me, but I don't like to practice, I only like to study... How can a weak scholar like me be their opponent? Brother Pei, just kill them, don't worry, I, Zhou Qingyan, owe you a favor after this matter."

Pei Daoye looked at the two people rushing over and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhou, you think too highly of me. My cultivation is not high, and it is difficult for me to deal with them... By the way, where are your guards?"

"Yeah, where's my guard?"

Zhou Qingyan was also stunned.

Pei Daoye was speechless.

No way, buddy, you are... a bit of a loser.

However, two killers had already rushed over, and Pei Daoye quickly made a judgment that matched his identity and quickly drew his sword, but this also caused Zhou Qingyan to emit a green light.

The two killers were shaken on the spot, one was stabbed in the abdomen, and the other was stabbed in the arm, and both groaned.

Zhou Qingyan found that he was being used as a shield, and suddenly became angry: "Brother Pei!"

"You have a great magic weapon. If it weren't for it, both of us would have lost our lives here today."

Pei Daoye said lightly.

Zhou Qingyan came to his senses and was helpless: "Brother Pei, you are too bold. At least tell me."

"Ben, if I say it directly, then they can hear it too."

Pei Daoye's question immediately calmed Zhou Qingyan down.

The two killers planned to escape.

Pei Daoye stepped forward and stabbed the man who was close to him in the heart with a sword, and kicked him to the ground. The other man stopped suddenly before he could escape, which made Zhou Qingyan feel something was wrong.

"Brother Pei, I have a bad feeling...why don't we retreat now?"

"Okay, you open the door and I'll cover you." Pei Daoye said casually.

In fact, he already knew they were surrounded.

really.

Zhou Qingyan also discovered it.

He stood at the door and looked back at Pei Daoye with a smirk.

Su Hou squeaked.

A young man in a blood-stained shirt, holding a wine glass in one hand and a human skin painting in the other, had a fascinated look in his eyes, as if he was looking at his favorite work. His intoxicated expression made people feel inexplicably terrified.

Zhou Qingyan's throat rolled, he took a step back, and said loudly: "Brother, let's talk it over nicely. I am just an insignificant piece of trash in the Zhou family. Even if you kill me, the Zhou family will not feel any pain. I suggest that if you want to cause trouble for the Zhou family, go find those old men. They are the big shots of the Zhou family."

Zhou Qingyan's shameless words made Pei Daoye couldn't help but look sideways.

Is this still a great talent?

How can you be more shameless than him?

That's when.

The young man in blood-stained clothes turned around and smiled: "Master Zhou, I came here just for you this time."

Zhou Qingyan was dumbfounded: "No, buddy, why are you looking for me? I don't know anything. You said you have such a high level of cultivation, why are you looking for me! Brother Pei, can you beat him?"

He finally looked at Pei Daoye and made a face to express his urgent thoughts.

Pei Daoye: "..."

Man, you are quite abstract. (End of this chapter)
