The next day, Pei Yu did not go out again. Ji Zhe did not know whether he was worried about Pei Feng's words last night or something else.

However, although Pei Yu felt uneasy, he still got up as usual and prepared breakfast for Ji Zhe and Cuicui, and also lit a stick of incense for A Yuan who was still sleepy.

At noon, Pei Yu said he was going to talk to Pei Feng;

Ji Zhe always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was, until Pei Yu said to him before stepping out of the room:

"In the cabinet next to the bed in my room are some of the money I've saved over the past few years, if you want to leave."

Ji Zhe did not answer. He pursed his lips and said to K:

'His tone sounded strange.'

K immediately responded: [It sounds like a last word. ]

However, Pei Yu's expression remained calm. Before leaving, he reached out and touched Ji Zhe's head as usual.

He said nothing more.

Ji Zhe looked at Pei Yu's departing back, his brows furrowed: "Six Six..."

------

Pei Yu is dead.

The news that the eldest son of the Pei family was kidnapped and killed by kidnappers on a mountain road had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoshui City. At the same time, K also told Ji Zhe about it.

Ji Zhe thought it was a bit outrageous: "The nearest mountain is dozens of kilometers away from here. Pei Yu went out at noon. Even if he can fly, he can't fly that far."

But after talking for a while, Ji Zhe was silent, but couldn't help asking: "Is he really dead?"

K: [Perhaps.]

"But I clearly put a doll on him, and I clearly felt that the doll was used."

Ji Zhe didn't sleep well the whole night yesterday, not only because of K's reminder of his "assimilation", but also because of what Pei Feng said to them yesterday;

Before entering the dungeon, he had specifically asked on the forum that generally, mall items can be used on dungeon NPCs.

That's why he placed a substitute doll on Pei Yu when he wasn't paying attention. If there was really danger, the doll could help him resist it once.

So much so that he is now not sure whether Pei Yu is really dead.

Ji Zhe also specifically asked Cuicui about her opinion of Pei Feng, and at the same time learned a very important thing -

Pei Feng actually always wanted to kill Pei Yu.

To put it bluntly, if Pei Feng really wanted to kill Pei Yu, he would have had plenty of time over the years, not to mention that the people of the Pei family didn't think highly of Pei Yu.

There is only one reason why Pei Feng has not taken action for so many years——

Pei family motto: Do ​​not kill each other.

People like the Pei family who deal with ghosts have a lot of yin and murderous aura, a short lifespan, and thin blood. The longest-lived member of the Pei family is only 35 years old.

Not to mention people like Pei's father who hangs out with ghosts all day and didn't even make it past thirty;

The Pei family are all short-lived ghosts, with few people. Internal strife will not benefit them at all, but people are always ambitious, such as Pei Feng. In fact, even if Pei Yu has the talent to control ghosts, Pei Feng still wants to kill him. He does not want to be subordinate to others and follow their orders.

What's more, Pei Yu is just a waste, which makes Pei Feng even more anxious. It is the ancient way for the eldest son to inherit the family business. Even if the Pei family doesn't care, what will outsiders think?

In their eyes, if Pei Yu had not died and Pei Feng had inherited the family business, this matter would have been a topic of conversation after dinner. However, Pei Feng, who was so concerned about his reputation, would definitely not have tolerated it.

But this damn ancestral precept has been restraining him.

--------

Until today, Pei Yu took the initiative to come to the door, which surprised Pei Feng;

"Let's make a deal."
