Three punches shattered the demonic soul, young hero, I'm an honest man!

Qin Yu's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

This aunt looks like a celestial being.

His ruthless methods and deep cunning made even the old foxes in the Chamber of Commerce wary of him.

Qin Lanfei grew angrier as she spoke, and grabbed the teacup beside her.

He seemed to want to smash it, but ultimately held back.

It was slammed down with a heavy thud.

The servants in the hall were even more terrified and kept silent.

Qin Yu shrank his neck.

Seeing that her aunt had finished scolding and stopped to catch her breath.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yu's eyes darted around.

He hurriedly stepped forward and, like a sycophant, refilled his aunt's hot tea.

"Aunt, please calm down. It's not worth getting sick over your nephew."

He cautiously observed Qin Lanfei's expression.

Qin Lanfei glanced at him sideways.

He didn't take the tea, and just snorted coldly.

Qin Yu held the teacup, his hands trembling slightly, and spoke cautiously.

"Auntie, are you still worried about that matter?"

His temperament isn't something that developed overnight, or even within a year or two.

My aunt has scolded me before, but never like today.

After thinking it over, Qin Yu could only think of that "troublesome" thing that had upset his aunt again.

It's better not to mention it...

Upon hearing this, Consort Qin's expression, which had just eased slightly, darkened again.

"roll!"

She spat in annoyance.

That matter wasn't particularly troublesome, but it was still quite annoying.

Qin Yu was scolded, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he chuckled.

He rubbed his hands together, hesitated for a moment, as if he had made a great decision.

"Auntie, if you really have no clue what to do, how about... how about I give it a try?"

"you?"

Upon hearing this, Consort Qin Lan was taken aback.

It was as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and he was so angry that he laughed.

She looked her nephew up and down.

With greasy hair and a powdered face, and unsteady steps, he was clearly drained of his energy by alcohol and women.

When they sent men to arrest him at Baidi Tower, it was said that he had just crawled out of some girl's arms.

Can he solve problems that even he himself is struggling with?

"What are you going to use to test this? Your fat body? Or your ability to sleep with women?"

"Are you trying to make me laugh so I'll let you off this time?"

Qin Yu stiffened his neck, his chubby face turning bright red.

"Auntie! You're underestimating me!"

Qin Yu patted his not-so-thick chest abruptly.

"My aunt's kindness to me is immeasurable, and I will always remember it!"

"This time, your nephew is going all out to help his aunt!"

"My nephew still has some connections in the capital!"

He made a solemn vow, appearing ready to sacrifice his life for his family.

But then, he changed the subject and put on his usual playful smile.

"However... Aunt, if your nephew really helps you get rid of this annoying trouble..."

"Don't you have to promise me something too?"

"I knew you were up to no good!"

Qin Lanfei could tell what her nephew was up to even with her toes.

"So, tell me, which girl have you set your sights on this time? Or where are you planning to fool around?"

Qin Yu chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"Auntie is wise!"

"In a few days, Princess Yongle and the others are going to hold a tea banquet at Yuqin Garden, right..."

The so-called "Yuqinyuan Tea Banquet" is a social gathering place for the sons of the top noble families in Beijing.

Led by Princess Yongle and several princes, the event was about enjoying tea and scenery, and discussing both civil and military affairs.

It was also an occasion for young nobles and aristocratic families to make friends and even arrange marriages.

It was filled with noble ladies and daughters of prominent families.

Qin Yu, that lecherous fiend, had long had his eye on him.

However, Consort Qin Lan had always strictly forbidden Qin Yu from participating in such occasions.

Firstly, in Qin Lanfei's view, such occasions were a complete waste of time.

Secondly, they were afraid that Qin Yu would cause trouble and tarnish the reputation of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

"snort."

Qin Lanfei let out a cold snort.

She looked at Qin Yu's impatient expression.

Although she didn't believe he could succeed, she was too lazy to waste any more words on him.

"If you can really resolve this for me, I'll allow you to go!"

Despite saying that, the contempt in his tone was undisguised.

In this capital city, money is courage, and power is everything.

Her nephew has money, but he lacks the courage and brains.

This is also the point that gives her the biggest headache.

"Is Auntie telling the truth?!"

Qin Yu's eyes instantly lit up like two luminous pearls.

It was as if the beautiful women at the tea party were already beckoning to him.

Having received permission, he didn't linger and excitedly took his leave.

"Auntie, just you wait and see! Watch what your nephew has up his sleeve!"

As Qin Yu's obese figure disappeared through the doorway, Qin Lanfei's smile vanished instantly.

All that remained was exhaustion and a barely perceptible worry.

……

Qin Yu left the Chamber of Commerce in a huff.

He had only one thought in his mind: find Pei Yun!

That Master Pei is now a very popular figure in the capital.

He can even solve cases from the Imperial Observatory, and I heard that both of the garrison commanders look at him with special regard.

With such a powerful backer, why not take advantage of it!

Qin Yu learned that Pei Yun seemed to have gone to the Imperial Observatory today.

He had intended to send another person to deliver the invitation.

But then I realized that this matter was no small thing.

Going in person shows sincerity.

"Prepare the carriage! We're heading to the Imperial Observatory!"

Qin Yu made a quick decision and immediately got into his own luxurious carriage.

The entrance to the Imperial Observatory.

Pei Yun and Yun Wei walked out side by side.

Today, while browsing through the classics in the Hidden Star Pavilion, I did not find detailed information about the "Supreme Immortal Chapter".

However, learning the two key names, "Yongning Xiao Clan" and "Changsheng Fafu," made the trip worthwhile.

"Thank you very much for guiding me today, Miss Yunwei," Pei Yun said with a smile.

"Commander Pei, you're too kind." Yun Wei nodded slightly.

After these encounters, her feelings towards Pei Yun became much more complex.

I admire his wisdom and am also curious about the secrets he holds.

Just then, a commotion came from not far away.

A magnificent carriage was seen parked not far from the gate of the Imperial Observatory.

A fat man dressed in brocade was being stopped by two gatekeepers from the Imperial Observatory, who seemed to be trying to force their way in.

"Are you all blind?! Do you even know who I am?"

"You've delayed my important business, can you afford to take responsibility for that?!"

It was Qin Yu.

The guards from the Imperial Observatory remained expressionless, showing no mercy to the other party.

"The Imperial Observatory is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted entry!"

Just as the fat man was about to lash out, he caught a glimpse of Pei Yun and Yun Wei walking out from inside.

When he realized that it was Yunwei, the star official, who was personally accompanying Pei Yun, he understood.

The arrogance on his face vanished instantly, replaced by surprise and a hint of barely perceptible awe.

my darling!

This Commander Pei has way too much influence!

Even the star officials from the Imperial Observatory personally escorted him to the gate?

"Lord Pei?"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly jogged forward.

His face was beaming with a warm smile, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.

The speed at which he changed his expression was truly exceptional.

Yun Wei, standing to the side, frowned slightly.

She had naturally heard of Qin Yu's outrageous reputation in the capital.

However, as one of the possible future successors of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, Qin Lanfei's nephew has an extraordinary status.

Now, this young master Qin, who was usually arrogant and haughty, is...

He actually went to the gate of the Imperial Observatory in person to look for someone, and was so respectful and polite to Pei Yun.

It seems that Pei Yun's influence in the capital is now more significant than she had imagined.

Yunwei's opinion of Pei Yun rose even higher.

Pei Yun looked at the fat man in front of her, whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and knew exactly what was going on.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

The fat man ignored the invitations he sent the first two times.

This time, they actually came to block the door in person and even adopted such a humble attitude.

They must want something from me, and what they want is probably quite significant.

"Young Master Qin? Is something the matter?"

"Something's happened! Something really bad!"

Qin Yu rubbed his hands together, his face full of eagerness.

"Lord Pei, this is not the place to talk. Would you do me the honor of hosting a private discussion in a quieter place?"

He stared intently at Pei Yun, afraid of being rejected.

Pei Yun pondered for a moment.

This fat Qin came to his doorstep on his own initiative, saving him a lot of trouble.

The intelligence network of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was of great benefit to him in investigating the Candle Yin Sect and the remnants of the previous dynasty, and even in finding cultivation resources.

Since the other party is so "sincere," why not listen to what he has to say?

"Young Master Qin, you're too kind. I happen to be free anyway, so I'll take my leave of you."

"No bothering you! No bothering you!"

Qin Yu was overjoyed and quickly stepped aside to lead the way.

"please!"

Pei Yun nodded.

He turned to Yunwei, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Yunwei. I will take my leave now."

Yunwei nodded slightly.

"Pei, take care."
