Chapter 1155 - 1090: Pei Yi’s Treachery!
Qin Feiyang landed in front of Fu An-shan, suspiciously asking, "Steward Fu, who are you kneeling for?"
Two months had passed, and the anger in Fu An-shan’s heart had calmed down a lot, but upon hearing Qin Feiyang’s words, the anger flared up again.
Qin Feiyang ignored it, asking again, "Who exactly has such influence that you’re kneeling for them?"
Looking at Qin Feiyang’s innocent and charming face, Fu An-shan wished to slap him.
But he had to endure it now!
Two months had passed, yet the Pavilion Master still hadn’t announced the exact time for his appointment as the Deputy Pavilion Master.
It was clear that the Pavilion Master was waiting for his results.
In other words.
If he couldn’t get the forgiveness of the person in front of him, dreaming of becoming the Deputy Pavilion Master would be just that—a dream.
"Brother Mu, I’ve already fallen to this point, can you stop teasing me?"
"I know it was all my fault before. I’m here to sincerely apologize to you, just hoping you can forgive me."
Fu An-shan pleaded while kowtowing, making thumping sounds.
"Looking at you now, you really are pitiful."
"But have you heard the saying? ’Pitiful people must have something detestable about them.’"
Qin Feiyang said.
"Yes, yes, it was my bad judgment, being too reckless to provoke you..."
"But I’ve changed now, what more do you want?"
"As the saying goes, enemies are better reconciled than further embroiled, haven’t I shown enough sincerity by kneeling here for two months?"
"Brother Mu, please be magnanimous, give me a way out, alright?"
"If not, just consider me a stray dog that bites haphazardly, don’t hold a grudge against me, okay?"
Fu An-shan raised his head, tears streaming, looking pitifully at Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang furrowed his brows, undecided.
Fu An-shan was also extremely nervous.
"Sigh!"
After a long while, Qin Feiyang let out a long sigh, saying, "Well, given your sincerity, I won’t hold a grudge anymore."
"Really?"
Fu An-shan looked at him joyfully.
Qin Feiyang said, "I always keep my word."
"Thank you, Brother Mu."
"The kindness shown by Brother Mu today, I, an old man, will never forget, and I will repay it many times over in the future."
Fu An-shan quickly stood up and cupped his hands in gratitude, yet a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
Qin Feiyang secretly laughed coldly, waving his hand, "Go on with your business!"
"Thank you, Brother Mu, I will take my leave."
Having said that, Fu An-shan hurriedly opened the portal and left.
At noon!
A bombshell message spread through the Divine City.
The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion personally announced that tomorrow morning, a ceremony would be held in the central plaza of North City for Fu An-shan’s appointment!
In an instant.
Clouds moved from all directions!
The leaders of various super tribes immediately began to prepare gifts and get ready to pay their respects the next morning.
No matter what Fu An-shan had gone through in the past two months, he was about to become the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion, so they naturally had to curry favor.
Quiet Heart Lake!
Qin Feiyang and Wang Youer sat in Young Master Hao’s courtyard, the three of them drinking tea and chatting merrily.
Young Master Hao laughed, "Fu An-shan must be laughing now!"
Wang Youer said, "He’s barely made it this far, how could he not be laughing? But come tomorrow, he won’t be able to laugh anymore."
"Haha."
"Tomorrow will be his day to cry."
Young Master Hao laughed heartily.
"Quite lively!"
Suddenly.
Fatty appeared out of thin air, sneakily coming over.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is Quiet Heart Lake, how can you just barge in without permission?"
Young Master Hao complained.
"Tch!"
Fatty disdainfully raised his middle finger, pulled out three golden invitations from his chest, and tossed them in front of the three of them, saying, "These are from Fu An-shan, he insists you must attend his ceremony tomorrow."
Young Master Hao grabbed an invitation, examined it carefully, and grinned, "Even if he hadn’t invited us, we would go anyway."
...
Late night!
Qin Feiyang stood alone on the terrace, staring at the crescent moon in the sky, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.
He was hesitating whether to tell Pei Yi the truth.
Though Pei Yi would find out tomorrow anyway, telling him now would let him have some mental preparation, otherwise, he’d surely go mad.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly.
The Image Crystal Stone in his chest buzzed.
"Whether he can handle this shock is his concern, why am I worrying so much?"
"My duty is just to tell him the truth."
After pondering for a moment.
Qin Feiyang murmured to himself and stopped worrying about it, drew his gaze back, and took out the Image Crystal Stone.
Buzz!
Fatty’s virtual image emerged.
"What’s up?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
Fatty replied, "Pei Yi is looking for you."
"What a coincidence?"
Qin Feiyang was slightly stunned, smiled and said, "I was planning to tell him the truth, where is he now?"
Fatty said, "Come to me first."
Qin Feiyang nodded, put away the Image Crystal Stone, opened the portal, and appeared at Fatty’s Cave Mansion the next moment.
Fatty immediately pulled out a letter from his chest and handed it to Qin Feiyang.
"What’s this?"
Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously.
Fatty said, "This is from Pei Yi."
"Why is he sending me a letter?"
Qin Feiyang frowned, took the letter, and then opened it.
The content was only six words.
——Midnight, see you at Black Cloud Valley!
Below was a signature.
——Pei Yi!
"What’s going on?"
Qin Feiyang looked up at Fatty with surprise and doubt.
They were all at the General Tower, meeting anytime they wanted, so why make it so mysterious?
Fatty said, "I don’t know either, because I’ve never met him."
Qin Feiyang asked, "Then where did this letter come from?"
"Didn’t I go to deliver invitations to you all this morning? After I delivered them, I went to Li Yan’s place and just came back. When I entered the Cave Mansion, I saw this letter on the meditation cushion."
Fatty pointed to the meditation cushion beside them and said.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the meditation cushion, then looked at the letter again, frowning, "Could it be that he already knows?"
Fatty said, "You mean, he might already know the cause of Pei Changfeng’s death?"
Qin Feiyang said, "Otherwise, why would he arrange to meet outside the city?"
"Makes sense."
Fatty nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No need for that, you keep an eye on Li Yan!"
"Li He is coming back tomorrow, make sure nothing unexpected happens tonight."
Qin Feiyang said.
"Alright."
Fatty nodded.
Qin Feiyang asked, "Do you know where Black Cloud Valley is?"
"I know. Some time ago, when I went on an outing with Li Yan, I visited many places, including Black Cloud Valley. It’s misty all year round and quite scenic."
Fatty chuckled.
"Outing?"
Qin Feiyang was taken aback, giving Fatty a meaningful look.
"What kind of look is that?"
"Master Fatty tells you, Master Fatty and Li Yan only share pure camaraderie. Don’t overthink it."
Fatty felt a little guilty under the gaze.
"Is that really the case?"
Qin Feiyang teased.
"Nonsense, what do you think it is then?"
Fatty rolled his eyes, waved his hand to open a portal to Black Cloud Valley, and urged, "Hurry on, stop overthinking."
Qin Feiyang said, "Actually, Li Yan is quite good, and most importantly, she’s someone Little White Dragon is interested in. If you..."
But before he finished, Fatty, annoyed, ran behind Qin Feiyang and pushed him through the portal.
"What a pain."
Fatty glared at Qin Feiyang’s quickly disappearing back, smiled foolishly for a moment, then hurriedly turned and ran.
At the same time!
In the sky above a fog-covered valley, Qin Feiyang appeared out of nowhere.
Under the night sky, the crescent moon emitted faint moonlight, making everything look hazy and indistinct.
The entire valley was deathly silent.
"That Fatty really has it good!"
Qin Feiyang shook his head with amusement, then scanned the valley below.
"Brother Mu, I’m here."
A familiar voice came from within the valley.
It was Pei Yi.
Qin Feiyang focused his gaze, through layers of fog, and saw Pei Yi standing in the center of the valley, with hands behind his back and a slight smile on his face.
Swish!
Qin Feiyang entered the valley, landed beside Pei Yi, and said with a faint smile, "Calling me out so late, it’s not to admire the scenery, is it?"
"I’m in no mood to admire scenery."
Pei Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Mu, let me ask you a question."
"What is it?"
Qin Feiyang looked at him confused.
Pei Yi pointed behind Qin Feiyang and asked, "What do you see over there?"
Qin Feiyang turned his head to look.
But then, he felt a sudden surge of danger.
He didn’t see anything behind him.
"Not good!"
Without thinking, Qin Feiyang stepped aside.
But it was too late!
Behind him, Pei Yi seized a gleaming dagger and stabbed Qin Feiyang in the abdomen!
The sharp pain engulfed Qin Feiyang instantly.
But Qin Feiyang had experienced all kinds of pain; this was nothing to him.
Taking advantage of his cultivation not having fully dissipated, he reflexively struck Pei Yi’s chest with his palm.
But Pei Yi didn’t move an inch, and instead, Qin Feiyang’s arm went numb!
"How is this possible?"
Qin Feiyang was fearful.
Even though his Qi Sea was destroyed, the power of that palm was less than one-tenth of his peak state, but he was a Four-star War Saint now, and Pei Yi was just a Nine-Star War Ancestor, even one-tenth of his power should severely injure Pei Yi!
At the same time.
Pei Yi glanced at his chest where Qin Feiyang struck, then withdrew the dagger.
Qin Feiyang immediately fell to one knee, as blood gushed from the wound!
His cultivation was completely gone.
Pei Yi smiled triumphantly at Qin Feiyang and said, "Didn’t see that coming, did you!"
Qin Feiyang laboriously turned to look at Pei Yi and asked, "Why?"
"You have the nerve to ask me why?"
Pei Yi went mad, kicking Qin Feiyang to the ground and viciously stepping on his head, eyes red, and shouted, "I just wanted a way out, why won’t you let me go? Why!"
"A way out?"
"Won’t let you go?"
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
To be honest, he had always gotten along with Pei Yi and had never had any conflicts, so why suddenly say these inexplicable words?
And even went so far as to ambush him!
