Pei Xueyu thought she was looking at him, but just as he was about to speak, he realized that Ye Xiyue's eyes were not on her, but looking behind her.
Ye Xiyue murmured softly:
"It shouldn't be...why are the Zhou family falling further and further behind?"
Pei Xueyu felt very ridiculous for a moment.
"Miss Ye, what are you talking about? Is it possible that you really hope that the Zhou family will catch up and even overtake us?"
Although she smiled, the smile did not reach her eyes.
"With all due respect, Miss Ye, you are representing the Pei family this time."
Ye Xiyue glanced at her lightly.
There was clearly no emotion, but the remaining words in Pei Xueyu's throat suddenly became unspeakable.
It was as if there was an invisible force pressing heavily on her chest, making her breathless.
"I naturally know this and don't need to be reminded by Miss Pei." Ye Xiyue said quietly, "After all, it was General Pei who sincerely invited me to be the alchemist of the Pei family. How could I forget this?"
Pei Xueyu's face turned red and white.
Ye Xiyue was reminding her that the person standing behind her was Pei Zhongtian!
Although Pei Xueyu is considered favored in the Pei family, it does not mean that she has the right to look down on the alchemist worshiped by the Pei family.
Even if the other person is younger than her.
"Miss Pei, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten one thing: among the Zhou family, the weakest ones are the middle-level Spirit Emperors. In real terms, their overall strength is stronger than ours."
Ye Xiyue's tone was calm.
Of course, what she said was based on her rank in the first stage of the Spiritual Emperor.
If there is a real fight, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
But there is no need to explain this to them.
"Not to mention the Wanjun Realm before, now everyone has entered the Black Water Realm. They have an advantage over us. Logically speaking, they should catch up. How come they are getting further and further away?"
Pei Xueyu couldn't stand her and didn't take her words seriously:
"So what? Who knows if they have encountered any situation? No one stipulates that they must catch up with us at this level, right?"
That's not what I said.
But that was the Zhou family, the Zhou family that had the worst relationship with the Pei family.
Not to mention, Zhou Zhenchuan suffered a big loss from Pei Qingyu before, and was later kicked out of the city guard army.
This involves more than just him, Zhou Zhenchuan.
This slap was equivalent to a slap on the face of the entire Zhou family. How could they let it go?
Ye Xiyue still clearly remembers the look in Zhou Zhenchuan's unconcealed resentment when she was waiting outside the barrier.
Just think about it and you know that they will definitely come to cause trouble, so why would you avoid them?
Ye Xiyue listened attentively for a while, except for the rustle of the mountain wind blowing through the leaves, there was no other sound.
Pei Qingyu also frowned, obviously thinking about Ye Xiyue.
He knows the Zhou family better than Ye Xiyue, and the current situation is indeed wrong.
"Did they get into some trouble and get stuck?"
he speculated.
Ye Xiyue said nothing.
If that's true, why didn't you hear any movement just now?
Everything is so natural.
She crossed her arms with one hand and gently touched her chin with the other.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed and her expression became cold.
"wrong."
This sound brought a chill, and several people looked over.
Pei Xueyu was impatient: "It's wrong again? Why did you -"
"We just walked through here."
Ye Xiyue spoke in a cold voice.
…
"You discovered it so quickly?"
Outside the barrier, several old men responsible for guarding looked at Pei Yuan.
"It seems that the Pei family has really found a powerful character this time!"
