When Zhou Zhenchuan was mentioned, a cold look flashed across Pei Qingyu's eyes.
"The Zhou family and the Pei family are at odds, and he has disliked me for a long time."
There is not much age difference between the two, and they are both from aristocratic families, so it is inevitable that they will be compared.
Pei Qingyu has now broken through to Lingzong, but Zhou Zhenchuan has been at the peak of Linghuang for four years, and there is no sign of breaking through so far.
Naturally, he was very jealous of Pei Qingyu.
Especially - Pei Qingyu has been raised outside in the past few years. Who knew that he could reach his current status under those conditions?
For this reason, Zhou Zhenchuan often made trouble for Pei Qingyu.
It's just that Pei Qingyu didn't bother to argue with him before, so Zhou Zhenchuan became more and more impudent, and now he even dared to be so impudent directly at the city gate.
Ye Xiyue understood.
It is normal for aristocratic families to compete with each other, and Pei Qingyu has obviously become that target.
but--
After all, Pei Qingyu is also the third son of the Pei family. If Zhou Zhenchuan dares to look for trouble in person like this, it is not difficult to see Pei Qingyu's situation in the Pei family.
Probably not very good.
But Pei Qingyu didn't elaborate, so she stopped asking further.
The two of them walked forward and finally came to a mansion.
The guard at the door saw Pei Qingyu and saluted quickly:
"Third Young Master, you are back!"
Their eyes fell on Ye Xiyue involuntarily. This was the first time that the Third Young Master brought a woman back——
Soon, a middle-aged man walked over. He had ordinary features and a kind of kindness between his eyebrows.
"Third Young Master."
He looked around at Pei Qingyu first, and after making sure that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a bit of a smile on his face.
"You are finally back. I have been talking about you for a long time."
This is naturally the head of the Pei family, Pei Zhongtian.
That is Pei Qingyu's grandfather.
"Uncle Yang."
When Pei Qingyu saw this man, his expression relaxed a lot.
"How is my grandfather doing lately?"
"It's still the same as before." Uncle Yang said this, and then looked at Ye Xiyue next to him, with a bit of curiosity on his face, "This is..."
Pei Qingyu said:
"This is my junior sister Ye Xiyue, who came back with me this time."
Uncle Yang was even more surprised now.
Junior sister?
Haven't you heard that the third young master has a junior sister?
Wait, could it be——
"Miss Ye is from the Canglan Empire?" Uncle Yang asked carefully.
The corners of Ye Xiyue's lips curved.
This question was quite tactful. I only mentioned the Canglan Empire, not Tianlan.
But he should have guessed it.
She nodded:
"yes."
Uncle Yang looked at her carefully again, feeling surprised.
Since he is from there, he has already broken through to the Spiritual Emperor at such a young age?
However, he didn’t ask any more questions and just smiled and said:
"Miss Ye came all the way, it must have been very hard for her to travel all the way. Please come in -"
With that said, Uncle Yang led them inside.
Although the Pei family is not considered a top aristocratic family in Lanling, the mansion is still magnificent.
Everywhere you look is exquisite and exquisite.
I met some servants on the road and bowed respectfully when I saw them.
However, Ye Xiyue could detect the curiosity and scrutiny in those eyes, so she just pretended not to know.
Pei Qingyu sent Ye Xiyue to a courtyard.
"Junior sister, I'll rest here for the time being. I'll go see my grandfather first and come back later."
Ye Xiyue knew that the situation on his side was more urgent, so she nodded: "Okay, thank you, senior brother."
Pei Qingyu then turned around and left with Uncle Yang.
Ye Xiyue walked into the courtyard and looked around.
Not big, but very clean and quiet.
She came to the door and was about to push it open when she suddenly made a move.
Just for a moment, she pushed the door open with a normal expression, then turned around and locked the door.
A slender and even hand suddenly covered hers, and then the waist tightened, and the warm breath mixed with the familiar cold fragrance surrounded her.
The man's deep voice fell on my ears, and the tail end was slightly raised:
"Xi'er agreed to come to see me, but she came to the Pei family first?"
