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

After Yuan Feng finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

Chu Longtu narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was calm, neither happy nor sad, so Yuanfeng could not see any clues, which made him feel uneasy.

But things have come to this point, and Yuanfeng has lost the initiative and can only hope that what he said just now can impress Chu Longtu.

If he can't impress Chu Longtu, Yuanfeng will have nothing else to ask for. He can only hope that Chu Longtu will act faster so that he won't die in too much pain.

The silence continued. Just when Yuanfeng was feeling more and more stressed and his forehead and temples were covered with beads of sweat, Chu Longtu finally spoke slowly.

"The interests are not aligned?"

"What does this mean?"

When Yuanfeng heard Chu Longtu speak, he was under so much psychological pressure that he almost cried.

No matter what the final result is, the torment of waiting for the result is the most difficult.

Now that Chu Longtu had finally spoken, no matter whether he was eventually persuaded by Yuanfeng or if he suddenly attacked and killed Yuanfeng with a knife, Yuanfeng could accept it unconditionally, as long as he didn't have to continue to suffer the torment of waiting for the result.

Yuan Feng took a deep breath. Having prepared himself mentally for the worst outcome, the pressure in his heart miraculously disappeared for the most part. He finally showed some of the calm demeanor of Pei Qinghai's personal secretary and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, the interests of the Fourth Master and the Patriarch are not aligned."

"Although outsiders think that the Fourth Master is also a core member of the Pei family and can determine the direction of the Pei family's decisions, the actual situation is not like this."

"The fact is that since ten years ago, the Fourth Master has been squeezed out of the family's decision-making core by the head of the family and has become a marginalized person."

"In the past ten years, the Fourth Master has been able to decide some matters within the Fourth House, but he has no right to participate in any decision-making involving the entire Pei family. He is not even aware of the decisions that have been made."

"In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the Fourth Master never complained to anyone in the past ten years. He was also very respectful to the head of the family in front of outsiders. As a result, no one knew that such an earth-shattering event had occurred in the Pei family in the past ten years."

"It can be said that since the Patriarch decided to exclude the Fourth Master from the core decision-making of the family ten years ago, the interests of the Fourth Master and the Patriarch have been heading in two completely different directions!"

Yuanfeng said this in a decisive tone. Chu Longtu tilted his head slightly and spoke in a playful tone.

"Now that you mention this, I have a question."

"Since Pei Qinghai and Pei Runnian have been strangers for nearly ten years, and he had countless opportunities to collude with allies and attack Pei Runnian, why did he sit on the bench for ten years and do nothing, but suddenly jump out now and want to form an alliance with me?"

Yuanfeng listened to Chu Longtu's words and wanted to explain anxiously, but was interrupted by Chu Longtu with a light wave of his hand.

"It's not that I don't believe in your sincerity, it's just that your words are not convincing enough for me."

"If you, the Fourth Master, really want to form an alliance with me, then give me some solid stuff that I can trust."

"Let's skip this long winded nonsense and get straight to the point."

Chu Longtu looked at Yuanfeng with burning eyes, which made Yuanfeng's mind suddenly clear.

After a long silence, Yuanfeng spoke in a low voice.

"Since Mr. Chu has asked, I won't say any other nonsense."

"In fact, the reason why the Fourth Master parted ways with the Patriarch ten years ago was very simple. It was your master, the Wanbian Medical Immortal."

As he spoke, Yuanfeng glanced at Chu Longtu, but did not get any useful information from Chu Longtu's face.

Chu Longtu remained as calm as ever, and was not shaken by hearing his master's name.

Yuanfeng felt a little regretful for not getting the expected reaction, but he didn't show it and said in a deep voice.

"Ten years ago, the Wanbian Medical Immortal took away the position of the Martial Alliance Deacon from the Pei family, causing the Pei family to suffer heavy losses."

"The previous patriarch died early, and Pei Runnian had already taken over the position of patriarch of the Pei family. He was very angry about this incident, so he wanted to use some insidious means to kill the Wanbian Medical Immortal and let the Martial Alliance re-elect the deacon."

"So Pei Runnian convened a meeting of the leaders of the five branches of the Pei family. He ignored the opposition of the leaders of the other branches and forcefully passed the resolution. He also asked the leaders of the other four branches to personally lead their men to ambush the Wanbian Medical Immortal with him."

"At that time, the leaders of the other four branches were all elders of Pei Runnian's uncle generation. They were as close as brothers to the previous patriarch, Pei Runnian's father, and they respected the old patriarch very much."

"After the old patriarch passed away and Pei Runnian inherited the position of patriarch, they transferred this responsibility to Pei Runnian."

"Although they did not understand Pei Runnian's decision, out of respect for the patriarch, the four of them personally led the masters and Pei Runnian to ambush the Wanbian Medical Immortal."

"I don't know what happened during the ambush, but the final result was that Pei Runnian returned to the family alone, and the other four elders were all killed in the battle. No one survived."

"The leaders of the second to fifth branches of the Pei family are the sons of the four elders who died in the battle. After their fathers died, they inherited their fathers' positions and came to power. They also demanded that Pei Runnian give an explanation for this matter."

"But Pei Runnian did not explain to the four of them, and quickly won over the leader of the second house, and directly squeezed the leaders of the third, fourth, and fifth houses out of the core decision-making level of the Pei family."

"Since then, the Fourth Master has given up on Pei Runnian. The two of them have broken up and have not had any contact until today."

"As for why the Fourth Master has been silent for ten years before seeking an alliance with you, I am sorry that a small errand boy like me does not know the specific reasons. Only the Fourth Master is qualified to explain it to you."

"From my personal point of view, perhaps the Fourth Master feels that only by joining forces with you can he truly succeed in taking revenge on Pei Runnian and let him also taste the heart-wrenching pain!"

After Yuanfeng finished speaking in one breath, he stopped talking and looked at Chu Longtu quietly.

Chu Longtu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, feeling the sting of the newly grown stubble scratching his fingers, and suddenly laughed.

"Pei Qinghai's biological father died at the hands of my master. Doesn't he hate me and want to take revenge on me?"

"You actually turned around and asked me to form an alliance. How interesting."

Chu Longtu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He looked at Yuanfeng coldly.

Yuanfeng looked at Chu Longtu calmly and said in a deep voice.

“It’s not unusual.”

"A clay pot will break if it is not out of the well, and a general will inevitably die on the battlefield. As a warrior, dying in the hands of the enemy for the benefit of the family is a very glorious fate."

"Although the old man died at the hands of the Wanbian Medical Immortal, it was ultimately caused by Pei Runnian who ignored the opposition of the elders and insisted on ambush the Wanbian Medical Immortal."

"If Pei Runnian hadn't made a mistake in his decision, how could the elders have died?"

"The old man died in battle because of Pei Runnian's stupid decision, but Pei Runnian not only did not give any explanation, but he also pushed the Fourth Master out of the core of the family. This is what makes the Fourth Master most angry and unacceptable!"

"This is equivalent to completely denying the fact that the old man died in battle, and denying the contribution of the Fourth House to the Pei family. This is the thing that the Fourth Master cannot tolerate the most!"

"So he must take revenge on Pei Runnian!"

"Before this, everything else can be put on the back burner!"

Chu Longtu looked at Yuanfeng thoughtfully and said softly.

"A heretic is more damnable than a pagan."

Upon hearing this, Yuanfeng clapped his hands in admiration and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, that's the truth!"

"Although Pei Runnian and the Fourth Master are both members of the Pei family, they have already parted ways."

"Because Pei Runnian cut himself off from the Pei family, he has now undoubtedly become a heretic of the Pei family!"

"Although you, a pagan, are hostile to the Pei family and are an out-and-out pagan, compared to the heretic Pei Runnian, we can definitely join forces with you to deal with the heretic Pei Runnian first!"

Yuanfeng straightened his back and spoke to Chu Longtu solemnly.

“That’s why I’m here.”

"Fourth Master's order invites you to Jing'an Hall to discuss the alliance!"

Yuanfeng lowered his head and asked solemnly, but Chu Longtu did not agree in a hurry.

However, Yu Lingqing, who had been watching the show nearby, rolled his eyes, obviously having some thoughts, but did not speak rashly.

Chu Longtu looked at Yuanfeng thoughtfully, and said lightly after a while.

"Now that things have come to this, it would be inappropriate for me not to go."

“It sounds interesting to join forces with the Pei family to deal with the Pei family.”

"In that case, there's nothing wrong with meeting Pei Qinghai."

Hearing this, Yuanfeng suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise, and spoke quickly.

"Thank you Mr. Chu for your presence!"

"I have prepared a special car outside the villa, you..."

"That's not necessary."

Chu Longtu interrupted Yuanfeng and said lightly.

"Although I also want to meet Pei Qinghai, I haven't really decided to join forces with him."

"I'm not so careless as to rashly get in your car and go over there."

"You guys go ahead, I'll clean up a little bit and then go over."

When Yuanfeng heard Chu Longtu's refusal, he had no other thoughts and bowed slightly respectfully.

"In that case, we will wait for Mr. Chu in Jing'an Hall."

After saying this, Yuanfeng paused for a while. Seeing that Chu Longtu had closed his eyes again, he nodded slightly to Yu Lingqing tactfully.

Having seen enough of the show, Yu Lingqing stood up holding Hu Zi, yawned, and turned to walk out.

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

Yu Lingqing took Yuanfeng to the elevator, swiped the permission card to call the elevator, and after pushing him in, he turned around and left without paying any attention to Yuanfeng's hesitant expression, and gave him a good slap on the back of his head.

After the elevator door closed, Yu Lingqing suddenly lost his composure and rushed into the office holding Hu Zi, shouting and yelling.

"Junior brother, you are not really going to go to that damn Jing'an Hall to meet Pei Qinghai, are you?"

Chu Longtu, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened them again. He was no longer mysterious in front of Yuanfeng just now. He looked at Yu Lingqing and smiled slightly.

"Of course, I do plan to meet him."

"Is there something wrong, Senior Sister?"

Yu Lingqing opened his eyes wide and spoke in an exaggerated expression.

"That's so wrong!"

"Although I just woke up and don't know who Pei Qinghai is, I can tell from what this guy who claims to be Pei Qinghai's personal secretary said just now that this must be a conspiracy!"

"This guy speaks unclearly, deliberately making his words vague and hiding a lot of key information. It's obvious that he is using those words to hook you."

"That so-called Jing'an Hall is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. When you go there, three hundred swordsmen might rush out and chop you into minced meat before you even sit down!"

"You're going to go for something like this?"

"Junior brother, you don't have a fever, do you?"

As Yu Lingqing spoke, she wanted to step forward and touch Chu Longtu's forehead to see if Chu Longtu was delirious due to the fever. However, Chu Longtu did not refuse Yu Lingqing, but just looked at her with a smile.

Looking at Chu Longtu's smiling face, Yu Lingqing looked at him for a moment and suddenly rolled her eyes.

"You guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Chu Longtu shrugged slightly.

"That guy just acted so stupid, it was almost as if there was a conspiracy written on his face. I think it would be hard for him not to know."

"He said that heretics are more damnable than pagans, and that Pei Qinghai wanted to join forces with me to deal with Pei Runnian."

"What happens after Pei Runnian is killed? The heretic is dead, and it is my turn as a pagan to die."

Seeing that Chu Longtu had already seen through Yuan Feng's plan, Yu Lingqing immediately felt relieved and gave Chu Longtu a speechless look.

"Since you've seen through it, why do you still want to go?"

"Is it fun to get into trouble when you have nothing to do?"

Chu Longtu kept smiling.

"It is certain that Pei Qinghai has a conspiracy to meet with me. Maybe when I go there, there will really be three hundred swordsmen and axemen coming out to kill me."

"But this doesn't mean that what Yuan Feng said just now is all false. What he said about Pei Qinghai and Pei Runnian breaking up should be true."

"The information Senior Sister Lingjun gave me also indicated the internal division of the Pei family. Pei Qinghai and Pei Runnian have indeed been at odds for a long time, and even the entire Fourth and Fifth Houses have become alienated from Pei Runnian."

"The reason why Pei Runnian arranged for Pei Qingwu's son, the fifth branch of the Pei family, to go to Jiangdong to cause trouble for us was probably because he wanted Pei Qingwu's son to kill us and then take over Jiangdong's benefits and win over the fifth branch. However, he did not expect to shoot himself in the foot. He did not win over Pei Qingwu, but instead made Pei Qingwu feel even more resentful towards him."

"After the Pei family had been divided to such an extent, Pei Qinghai suddenly asked to meet with me. I was really curious about what he wanted to do and how to do it."

"If we can use it well, maybe we can give the Pei family a big surprise."

"It would be a shame to miss such a fun thing!"
