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

"Wait a minute, did I hear that correctly?"

Ding Mao interrupted Pei Qingwu with a puzzled look on his face.

"What did you say?"

"You want to call for reinforcements to attack me together?"

"Please tell me I heard it wrong, okay? I really can't imagine that this is something you can say."

Ding Mao stared at Pei Qingwu. Although there was no expression on his face, his words inexplicably gave people a feeling of ridicule.

"You are the leader of the fifth branch of the Pei family, a master at the peak of the dark energy level. You want to defeat a mere warrior at the late stage of the Jin level, and you actually need help?"

"If this gets out, I'm afraid the whole Hedong will be shaken."

"By then, not only will the reputation that your Pei family has carefully built for two hundred years be in your hands in an instant, but everyone will also think that the entire Pei family has completely declined and can't even take down a late-stage dark energy warrior."

"Once others have this impression, your Pei family will be in danger."

Ding Mao looked at Pei Qingwu leisurely, "Your Pei family has already attracted a lot of criticism behind the scenes because of the war with our young master. Many people think that your Pei family has become so weak that you can't even easily take down an outsider. They advocate that we attack you together and completely dismember the Pei family."

"Although you have suppressed all these rumors by mobilizing various connections and using various means, we know everything clearly."

"If what happened today gets out, I'm afraid your Pei family will no longer be able to suppress other people's suspicions about the decline of the Pei family."

"Once most people have this understanding, I'm afraid it won't be long before they join forces to besiege your Pei family."

"After all, the upper class is such a cruel thing."

"You are still friends today, but tomorrow you may be torn apart because of a conflict of interest. It is your old tradition to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

"Back then, your Pei family was able to establish a foothold in Hedong, wasn't it because of this move that you overturned and tore apart the wealthy families that had been riding on your head, devoured all their inheritance, and then grew into the powerful Hedong that it is today?"

The sarcasm in Ding Mao's tone became more and more intense, stimulating Pei Qingwu and Pei Qinghai so much that their eyes twitched constantly.

"Now, the tide has turned. Is it finally the Pei family's turn to become a stepping stone for other families to rise?"

Ding Mao's words hit Pei Qingwu's heart like a huge rock, making him furious and angry.

But he is still an ordinary person after all. Although he is irritable and easily angered, he can still clearly distinguish what is important and what is not.

Pei Qingwu took a deep breath, stretched out his finger and tapped Dingmao heavily.

"Boy, you are very good at talking, but do you think I will be fooled if you provoke me?"

"If I really follow your wish and fight you regardless of the consequences, that would be truly stupid."

"What if we call for reinforcements? As long as we can kill all of you, who will spread this matter? Who will think that our Pei family has declined?"

"By then, in the eyes of outsiders, the Pei family will still be as powerful as ever, standing firm and unshakable!"

"You are still too naive to anger me so easily."

Pei Qingwu sneered, then looked at Pei Qinghai with a cold look in his eyes.

"What are you still standing there for? Call for help immediately!"

Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu looked at each other, and after confirming Pei Qingwu's will, he turned his head and glanced at Gan Shaohua.

"Let them come up."

When Gan Shaohua heard Pei Qinghai's order, he couldn't help but frowned and spoke.

"Father, they are..."

Pei Qinghai rudely interrupted Gan Shaohua's order.

"I said, let them come up!"

Gan Shaohua was frightened by Pei Qinghai's cold eyes and dared not say anything more. He quickly turned around and called a subordinate over. After whispering a few words to him, the subordinate quickly squeezed out of the crowd and went downstairs.

When Gan Shaohua turned around, he saw Pei Qinghai still staring at him coldly, with cruelty in his brows.

"If you continue to behave like this and question me after I give you an order next time, I will abolish all your status and power."

"If you want to question me, wait until you can make the decision!"

"Until then, shut up and follow my orders!"

Pei Qinghai scolded Gan Shaohua coldly, as if Gan Shaohua was not his son but his enemy.

Gan Shaohua was also frightened by Pei Qinghai's cruel look. He broke out in sweat and nodded hurriedly, but he didn't even dare to say a word.

Pei Qinghai then turned his head and said to Pei Qingwu.

"They will be here soon."

"But strictly speaking, they are not my subordinates. They are hired by me."

"Before this, I had no intention of using them. Although they are powerful, once they are deployed, the cost will be high."

"Now that I have dispatched them because you did not do what you promised, I will deduct part of your profit as compensation. Do you have any objection?"

Hearing Pei Qinghai's words, the veins on Pei Qingwu's forehead twitched and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.

"You're really calculating."

"Just do as you say, I have no objection!"

Pei Qinghai didn't mind Pei Qingwu's scolding at all and nodded.

"In that case, I have no problem with that."

Pei Qinghai had just finished speaking when he heard a long, dissolute laugh suddenly coming from outside the window.

"Master Pei, what you said is wrong."

"We came here specially to help you. Isn't it too hurtful to talk about whether to hire you or not?"

"Besides, although our fees are a little expensive, this price is at most a drop in the bucket for you, Fourth Master Pei. There is no need to be so calculating."

Along with that long and dissolute laughter, several figures flashed in front of the French window on the second floor that had been shattered by the explosion. They jumped directly from the first floor to the second floor and stood in front of the French window in a row.

Ding Mao looked back and saw seven figures of different heights, weights and bodies standing in a row in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The young man standing in the center was extremely tall, at least 1.9 meters, but as thin as a bamboo pole. His deeply sunken cheeks made him look like a tuberculosis patient, and he didn't look like a warrior at all.

The young man who looked like a consumptive patient was the one who spoke just now. He smiled and nodded at Pei Qinghai, then looked at Ding Mao.

"Then this guy is our target this time."

Pei Qingwu's pupils shrank slightly when he looked at the consumptive young man. After quickly scanning the other people, he looked at Pei Qinghai with some doubt.

These guys don't seem to have the temperament of warriors at all. Is it reliable to use them to deal with Ding Mao and others?
