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

However, that is just the most extreme imagination. If it were put into reality, although the people in the fourth and fifth rooms would also be furious because of the deaths of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, their final actions would most likely change.

The dead are dead, but the living still have to think about themselves.

Once Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu died, there would certainly be people in the Fourth and Fifth Houses who would be furious about their deaths and would raise an army to fight to the death with the biggest suspect, Pei Runnian, in order to avenge Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu.

However, there are also some people who are angry about the deaths of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, but they have doubts about whether to retaliate against Pei Runnian and directly start a civil war, and they may not take action at the first time.

It always takes a lot of courage to start a civil war, because once this step is taken, there will be no turning back, and there are only two possible outcomes left for them.

Either they can defeat Pei Runnian, defeat Pei Runnian and annex the Pei family, or force Pei Runnian to admit that they are a separate lineage.

Or they failed in the civil war and were defeated by Pei Runnian, and the fourth and fifth houses were completely brought under Pei Runnian's rule.

Such a huge risk and such a huge pressure are definitely not something that ordinary people can bear. It requires all the people in the fourth and fifth rooms to work together to have a chance of success!

But after the death of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, there was no one else in the fourth and fifth rooms who could unify everyone's understanding and bring everyone together. The end result was that they became a loose group and fought each other.

If some people start a civil war against Pei Runnian out of anger, then there will also be people who want to protect themselves and hesitate, or even resist starting a civil war.

People always yearn for stability, and if they can live in peace and stability, they will never think of making trouble.

This is just like the peasant uprisings in ancient history. If they really couldn't eat and couldn't survive, they wouldn't have launched a riot.

As long as they have something to eat to keep them alive and safe, they will never think of rebelling.

If Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu were alive, they might be able to use their many years of prestige and personal charm to weaken the desire for stability among some people in the fourth and fifth houses, and get them to join in launching a civil war.

But after Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu died, there will definitely be no one else with such charm!

In this way, if it were not all the people in the fourth and fifth houses who started the civil war, but only some of them, then Pei Runnian would have much more room to maneuver.

He only needs to send people to deal with those diehards who are determined to start a civil war, and at the same time send people to bribe, lobby, and seduce those members of the fourth and fifth houses who yearn for stability, divide them and then defeat them one by one, so that the possibility of a full-scale civil war can be completely eliminated.

But even so, Pei Runnian still needs to pay a considerable price to take the fourth and fifth rooms into his possession.

And during this process, if other Hedong forces intervene, the price Pei Runnian has to pay might be much higher.

Even if the fourth and fifth branches can be taken into their possession in the end, it is very likely that the overall strength of the Pei family will be greatly weakened, and it will fall from its current position of dominating Hedong and become obscure like everyone else.

Then again, even if the people of the fourth and fifth rooms were sensible and took the overall situation into consideration, and did not start a civil war because of the deaths of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, and just endured it, the situation did not get much better for the Pei family.

Because no matter how Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu disobey orders and act on their own, in the final analysis, both of them still have the surname Pei and are still members of the Pei family!

To put it bluntly, if one day the Pei family faces the crisis of genocide, no matter how much of a conflict Pei Qinghai, Pei Qingwu and Pei Runnian have, they will still join forces to deal with it!

Or it could be said that Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu will get what they want one day and completely defeat Pei Runnian. The two of them will take control of the Pei family, which will not be considered a loss to the Pei family as a whole!

Because everyone is a member of the Pei family and has the same ancestor, no matter who wins or loses, the meat will eventually rot in the pot and will not benefit outsiders.

And now the deaths of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu are a huge weakening of the entire Pei family from the perspective of the entire Pei family!

The loss of a peak Dark Force master and a late Dark Force master at once, as well as two experienced and scheming old foxes, has caused the entire Pei family to suffer heavy losses in high-end military power, which will directly cause other families to covet the Pei family!

Just like in a dark forest, if the king of beasts who suppresses the entire forest suddenly gets injured and bleeds one day, then all the beasts in the entire forest will become agitated, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the injured king of beasts, secretly gnashing their teeth and sucking blood, ready to spring up at any time to completely kill the king of beasts and replace him!

This is the situation that the Pei family will definitely face after the death of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu!

No matter which of these two possibilities is true, the Pei family will not be able to escape unscathed, and may even have to pay a heavy price.

But for Pei Qingsong and Pei Xingchen, such a heavy price is something they absolutely do not want to pay!

Pei Qingsong has assisted Prime Minister Pei Runnian and the entire Pei family for the past ten years and has worked hard. Now he has to watch the Pei family suffer losses and even fall apart. How can he accept it?

This is even more true for Pei Xingchen. He is the most promising of all Pei Runnian's sons, and the one most likely to inherit the position of head of the Pei family in the future.

Pei Xingchen had long regarded the entire Pei family as his own possession. Now he had to watch helplessly as the Pei family's strength was damaged, and even fall from its current dominant position to become an ordinary family power. How could Pei Xingchen accept this?

He was thinking that after becoming the head of the Pei family, he would be so powerful that he could make Hedong tremble with his words. However, after he became the head of the Pei family, the Pei family declined and anyone could come and step on it. Then what was Pei Xingchen's purpose in becoming the head of the family? To be scolded by others?

Pei Xingchen just imagined it, and his head felt so frustrated that it was about to explode. He almost wanted to kill someone immediately. He absolutely did not want such a future to come true!

However, the facts cannot be changed by Pei Xingchen's will. The fact is that Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu are already dead, and the future they fear is likely to become a reality soon!
