Pei Hao's voice spread in the living room, causing the atmosphere to freeze instantly. No one expected that this person who was quite kind to Li Luo in the past could actually say such vicious words now.
Although Li Luo's face is indeed pale and his complexion is not very good now, but...it doesn't mean that he will not be able to live for a few years, right?
The three pavilion masters under Pei Hao looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't say anything. They just stared at the ground with twinkling eyes, as if the pattern on the floor under their feet was particularly attractive.
The other six pavilion masters looked angry.
"boom!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled. When they looked around, they saw Jiang Qing'e's jade hands clapped on the table, and her delicate face was covered with frost.
However, before Jiang Qing'e could say anything, Pei Hao quickly patted his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so open-mouthed."
"I hope Xiao Luo won't blame him."
Li Luo stared at Pei Hao. He looked at the latter carefully and then smiled. Although he had become accustomed to the faces of people in front of and behind him in the past few years, those people were outside the family after all.
As for Pei Hao, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that his parents have saved and rehabilitated him.
Without Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, Pei Hao would have had his limbs broken by his enemies long ago and left him in a smelly ditch to die. How could he be where he is today?
However, what Pei Hao is showing now is obviously not a trace of gratitude to his parents, but rather a deep resentment.
This made Li Luo sigh a little, his parents, after so many years of wisdom, still made a mistake once.
"Chief Pei Hao is just showing his true nature. There is nothing to blame. And to be honest, even if I blame him now, what can I do? So there is no need to say such nonsense." Li Luo shook his head.
, and then sat down on the empty first seat.
Pei Hao had a smile on his face, and he turned a ring on his finger casually. He did not show his anger because of the irony contained in Li Luo's words, because there was no need at all. As Li Luo said, even if he
If you want to blame someone, what can you do?
The Luo Lan Mansion today is not what it used to be.
Without the pressure of those two mountains, Pei Hao was not afraid of anyone in Luo Lan Mansion.
A young master with no future is nothing more than a puppet. If Jiang Qing'e hadn't been there, he, Pei Hao, would have completely taken control of Luo Lan Mansion.
"Now that the Young Master is here, can the discussion begin?" Pei Hao turned to Jiang Qing'e.
Jiang Qing'e had no expression on her face and said calmly: "Then first tell me why among the three pavilions under your jurisdiction, not a single amount of gold has been handed over to the treasury this year."
Pei Hao sighed softly and said: "The situation in my Three Pavilions is extremely bad this year. My junior sister must have heard before that the warehouse of Three Pavilions was suddenly burned down. I suspect that it is the forces who covet the Luolan Mansion. I will investigate thoroughly.
We have tried a lot, but there has been no result yet, so there is no money to be paid this year.”
Li Luo just listened quietly. Although he knew that Pei Hao's reason was ridiculous, he did not interrupt anymore because he understood that he did not have much say in the Luo Lan Mansion. The so-called Young Mansion
The Lord, in the eyes of various people in the mansion, may be just a mascot for display.
In this case, there is no need to open your mouth and ask for trouble.
Jiang Qing'e took a deep look at Pei Hao and said, "Pei Hao, is this your reason?"
Pei Hao smiled slightly and said: "Since junior sister wants a reason, I can only find one for you at random. Why do you need to ask clearly about some things?"
"Forget it... Now that we have reached this point, let me explain to my junior sister and the young mansion master... Not only will the three mansions not pay any more contributions this year, but they will also not do so from now on.
Turn it in again." Although Pei Hao's voice was soft, it was undoubtedly like thunder when it fell on the ears of everyone in the living room.
The cold air emanating from Jiang Qing'e's body seemed to freeze the air. She said in a cold voice: "It seems that you are planning to start your own business?"
Pei Hao smiled and said: "I can't bear to leave Luo Lan Mansion... It's just that there is no real master of the palace in Luo Lan Mansion now, and I don't know whose hands these donations fell into.
It’s better to wait until a truly convincing Palace Master appears in the future, then it won’t be too late for me to hand it over.”
The atmosphere in the living room was depressing, and the other six palace masters also looked a little ugly. If Pei Hao was really allowed to do this, then Luo Lan Palace would probably become the laughing stock of the other four major palaces.
Because Pei Hao's move can be regarded as supporting his own troops and intending to split the Luo Lan Mansion.
"Pei Hao, do you want to bring down the Luo Lan Mansion? How much benefit do you think you can get from the fall of the Luo Lan Mansion?" A middle-aged man on the right said in a deep voice. This person's name is Lei Zhang.
, it is a pavilion master who supports Jiang Qing'e.
Pei Hao shook his head: "I said, I don't want Luo Lan's house to fall."
He seemed to be silent for a few breaths, then turned his eyes to Li Luo who said nothing, and said with a smile: "Actually, it is not impossible for me to abide by the rules and pay the donation truthfully from now on... Of course, the premise is,
I hope the young master can agree to my condition."
Everyone in the living room was shocked, obviously not expecting Pei Hao to suddenly bring the topic to Li Luo.
Li Luo stepped back from the state of looking at his nose and his nose, staring at Pei Hao, and said with some curiosity: "I also want to know, what are the conditions for Pei Hao to be in charge?"
Pei Hao looked from Li Luo to Jiang Qing'e, looking at the latter's delicate and cold face and slim figure, a trace of fiery greed flashed through the depths of his eyes.
"I hope that the Young Palace Master can terminate the engagement with the Junior Sister."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Although Li Luo was not furious, his face became expressionless, even though he had discussed the return of the engagement with Jiang Qing'e before, and even reached an agreement with her for this purpose.
But...the engagement is between him and Jiang Qing'e, and they can say and do whatever they want based on it...
And who is this Pei Hao?
"boom!"
Just when the cold feeling was surging in Li Luo's heart, a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted directly in the living room.
That energy was as bright as light, and the light swept across, blocking all the light in the living room.
Then, Li Luo vaguely saw the figure of Jiang Qing'e sitting aside, shooting out like a sudden flash of light.
Point directly at Pei Hao's location.
The sudden attack also made Pei Hao's eyes freeze, and in the next moment, sharp golden light erupted from his body.
The sword-shaped earring hanging on his right earlobe quickly fell off and turned into a golden sword as the storm surged.
On the long sword, sharp golden light energy surged, erratically, like countless golden rainbows.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and a violent energy shock wave erupted, immediately shattering all the tables and chairs in the living room.
The nine pavilion masters quickly took action to resolve the aftermath of the energy, and then looked intently at the field.
I could see two figures facing each other there, swords facing each other. It was Jiang Qing'e and Pei Hao.
Jiang Qing'e was holding a heavy sword, and there was a bright light flowing on the sword. The light was so dazzling that it made people's eyes sting just by looking at it.
Moreover, the pure, sacred and burning feeling also shocked them.
What a domineering light power!
Opposite Jiang Qing'e, Pei Hao was holding a golden sword, and the golden phase force coming out of his body seemed extremely sharp and powerful.
That is the power of metal.
The two swords collided and clashed with each other, causing the floor to gradually crack.
Pei Hao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The ninth grade light phase is indeed well-deserved. The junior sister is obviously only in the early stage of the Earthly Evil General, but the power of this phase is so powerful and domineering that it is not inferior to me, the late Earthly Evil General."
."
"You must have reached the seventh level of metallography, right? It seems that you have often squandered the money from the Luo Lan Mansion." Jiang Qing'e said coldly.
In the past, Pei Hao's Metal Physics was at the sixth level, but in this fight, Jiang Qing'e also noticed that the opponent's Metal Physics power had become more powerful, and if the Sixth-Rank Metal Physics wanted to be promoted to the Seventh Grade, the spiritual power needed to do so was
Shui Qiguang is not a small number.
Pei Hao was noncommittal, and the next moment, he and Jiang Qing'e suddenly exploded with mutual force in their bodies almost at the same time, and the sword tip struck hard.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron was accompanied by an energy impact, and both figures took a few steps back.
"Pei Hao, you are so presumptuous!" At this time, Lei Zhang and other pavilion masters immediately appeared behind Jiang Qing'e and shouted with livid faces.
However, three pavilion masters appeared behind Pei Hao, looking wary.
Outside the living room, the movement here was heard, which also caused some chaos in the old house. Two waves of people rushed out from everywhere like a tide, and then faced off.
"Little junior sister, do you plan to let the entire Daxia Kingdom know that there is civil strife in Luo Lan Mansion?" Pei Hao said with a faint smile.
Jiang Qing'e's face was cold, and murderous intent flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Pei Hao, if you don't want to die, just swallow the words you said before. You have no right to interfere in our affairs."
Pei Hao was silent for a few breaths and frowned: "Little junior sister, why are you doing this? I'm afraid that engagement is just a burden for you, right? I know you are grateful to your master and my wife, but there is no need to commit yourself to it.
Li Luo, he...is really not worthy."
"Of course a person with a bad heart and a dog's heart doesn't understand what gratitude is." Jiang Qing'e said lightly.
Pei Hao shook his head, then turned his eyes to Li Luo, and said: "Li Luo, you are actually quite smart, so I think you should know what is the crime of holding a jade. Luo Lan Mansion is a beautiful wall to you, little junior sister
These proud sons of heaven are even more untouchable to you."
"Believe me, if you want to imprison your little junior sister based on her gratitude to her master and master, it will only bring you a disaster in the end."
Li Luo said calmly: "What do you mean, I have to give up both the Luo Lan Mansion and Sister Qing'e?"
"If you are smart enough, you should be like this." Pei Hao nodded and said with some compassion: "I am doing this for your own good. If you don't have the ability, then you must restrain your greed, so that you can still be a rich and idle man."
Li Luo smiled and said: "Pei Hao, are you really not worried that one day my parents will suddenly come back?"
Pei Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and the expressions of the three pavilion masters behind him also changed a bit.
Finally, Pei Hao shook his head gently and said: "Li Luo, please stop holding on to such sad and childish expectations. Judging from the news I got, Master and Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
He looked at Li Luo and sighed sympathetically.
"So...your biggest supporter is gone."
"What's the difference between you now and me back then? No...you now may not be as good as me back then..."
"After all, even though I had no background and was at the end of my rope at that time, at least I still had some potential."
