Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

Listening to Pei Xingchen, Pei Qingniao couldn't utter a word.

Pei Xingchen's words suddenly reminded her, and her brain, which had been confused since she was attacked and woke up, suddenly became clear, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, since she was attacked, she has not spoken to Pei Runnian on the phone and reported the situation here to him in full.

Although Pei Runnian most likely already knew what happened here, that was only based on the reports from Pei family's spies and there was no detailed first-hand information.

They were causing chaos here, and the news Pei Runnian received was most likely just that Tianbo Building had suffered the same attack as other Pei family strongholds, and someone had set it on fire.

Although the causes of the incidents are the same, the lack of details can lead people to make drastically different wrong judgments.

What's more likely is that after Pei Runnian received the news of the attack on Tianbo Building, he may have asked someone to contact Pei Qingniao. However, because the entire Tianbo Building was completely destroyed by Tian San's electronic pulse bomb, all power and network facilities, as well as all communication tools, Pei Qingniao could not receive any information from Pei Runnian, and the two people missed the best time to exchange information.

If Pei Xingchen hadn't pointed this out, even Pei Qingniao himself would have forgotten it.

If Pei Qingniao had ordered Pei Xingchen of the underground base to lead everyone to evacuate Tianbo Building without informing Pei Runnian, causing this base to be exposed to the eyes of the entire Hedong...

Pei Qingniao only thought about the consequence for a moment, and his whole body could no longer stop trembling. Even his upper and lower teeth made a clicking sound as they knocked against each other due to the sudden intense fear that rolled up in him.

If Pei Qingniao really did this on her own, then death would most likely be the gentlest ending she could imagine.

There are always many things in this world that are far more terrible and more frightening than death!

Pei Qingniao clearly understood how big a mistake he had made, and when he looked at Pei Xingchen again, the anger and coldness in his eyes suddenly subsided a lot.

Whether she acknowledged it or not, she could not deny that it was Pei Xingchen who saved her this time.

Not only did he firmly reject Pei Qingniao's decision to lead the team to retreat from Tianbo Building, he also pointed out Pei Qingniao's biggest problem, which made her completely sober up.

Pei Qingniao, who had regained consciousness, suppressed all her anger and returned to her normal state. She began to think like a truly superior decision maker.

After pondering for a moment, Pei Qingniao looked at Pei Xingchen and there was no trace of hostility in his eyes, only icy calmness remained.

"I owe you this favor. I owe you one."

"Now that I think about it, retreating hastily was indeed a very irrational decision."

“But if we don’t retreat, then the problem will remain.”

"Those who attacked Tianbo Building were targeting the underground training base. Although they didn't get the way in and out of the base from me, there's no guarantee that they won't think of other ways to try to enter the base and completely destroy it."

"This base must not be lost. Not only is the fresh blood of the Pei family trained here, but it also concerns the shady things in the lower floors and the reputation of the Pei family."

"No matter which one it is for, we must completely pull out and kill those rats hiding in the gutter!"

"So, put aside all disputes and join forces."

Pei Qingniao's face was more serious than ever before, and he looked straight at Pei Xingchen.

Pei Xingchen had a cold smile on his face ever since he heard Pei Qingniao say that she owed him one. Even when he heard Pei Qingniao propose to join forces, the smile on his face did not change at all. He was just like a statue made of clay or stone, without any emotional fluctuations.

After Pei Qingniao finished speaking, Pei Xingchen spoke slowly.

"Join forces?"

"are you serious?"

Pei Qingniao nodded very seriously to show that he was not joking at all and was sincere.

But just when Pei Qingniao thought she had shown her utmost sincerity, Pei Xingchen's answer gave her a big surprise.

Or to put it bluntly, a blow to the head.

Pei Xingchen crossed his arms across his chest, and glanced at Pei Qingniao from head to toe with an extremely arrogant look, with a disdainful curl of his lips.

"But why should I join forces with you?"

This simple sentence struck Pei Qingniao's head like thunder, and stunned her completely.

Pei Qingniao looked at Pei Xingchen in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that it was Pei Xingchen who said these words.

Even Pei Qingniao had the urge to take action and tear off Pei Xingchen's face to see if he was possessed or taken over by an alien.

Is this really something a human being can say?

This underground base is the Pei family's underground base, where gathers thousands of reserve personnel who have been carefully trained by the Pei family with countless wealth.

Everyone of them is likely to become the Pei family's signature thug in the future, expanding the Pei family's territory, suppressing dissidents, expanding influence, and making the Pei family's position unbreakable.

But now it is facing the invasion of unknown foreign enemies. It is possible that the unknown enemy will invade at any time, and then the entire underground base will be completely destroyed, and all the talents that the Pei family spent more than one billion to train will be buried here.

Faced with such a great crisis, if it were anyone else in the Pei family except Pei Xingchen, as soon as they heard Pei Qingniao's first words, they would have immediately agreed impatiently and mobilized all their manpower and energy to capture and kill the enemy hiding in the dark.

As a result, Pei Xingchen, the person who should be the most anxious, remained indifferent and even asked why he should join forces with Pei Qingniao?

Is this really human language?

At that moment, Pei Qingniao felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her head. Her blood pressure reached its maximum, making her feel as if she was burning. She wished she could burn Pei Xingchen in front of her into ashes.

The anger that suddenly rebounded after being suppressed was like the magma erupting from a thousand-year-old volcano, carrying with it a destructive momentum, making Pei Qingniao want to tear Pei Xingchen apart with his bare hands!

"Pei! Xing! Chen!"

Pei Qingniao roared out Pei Xingchen's name word by word almost like a roar. The strong murderous aura condensed in his words was like substance, instantly turning the air into almost frost!
