Pei Zhaoli's gaze did not linger on Chu Xiaoran's face, just swept across it for a moment.

Pei Zhaoli still looked down on people like Chu Xiaoran who were worldly-wise, but Nan Jinming didn't have that kind of attitude.

Nan Jinming and Chu Xiaoran are really low-key, but Pei Zhaoli is now stopping Nan Jinming and not letting them leave.

Chu Xiaoran was not a petty person, but Pei Zhaoli's behavior was indeed a bit out of line.

Young masters from normal families would not be as outrageous as Pei Zhaoli. It should be said that normal men would not behave as dissolutely as he did.

Chu Xiaoran cursed Pei Zhaoli countless times in his heart.

Pei Zhaoli was wearing a veil and had specially chosen a set of luxurious clothes today. It was very simple and elegant, which suited his status as a nobleman and made him look even more refined and noble.

The headdress that Pei Zhaoli wore was a silver hairpin, and the hair tied on her head was very simple, giving people a fresh and refined feeling.

Few people have seen his real face, mainly because the title of the capital's number one young master is too famous, so no matter where he goes, he is the focus of the place.

Pei Zhaoli has been in Yuecheng for such a long time, and the women from the wealthy families in Yuecheng have spent no idea how much money on him. However, Pei Zhaoli's status is so noble, how could they be worthy of you?

Pei Zhaoli gave all the gifts sent by the women to his subordinates.

And my disappointing sister would also be secretly taken away by me to sell some of her goods.

The biggest stain in Pei Chuanjin's life was that he gave birth to a daughter who was not very ambitious. Not only did she live a life of debauchery, but she also caused trouble outside, which greatly tarnished her reputation.

Pei Chuanjin felt a little disappointed, but fortunately his son was very capable and had been a famous talent in the capital since he was young.

Pei Chuanjin handed over all the tasks that his close confidants used to do to his son.

Pei Zhaoli also worked hard to solve the problem for her, which was not only efficient but also useful.

Pei Chuanjin even assigned the secret guards around him to Pei Zhaoli to deploy at will.

Pei Chuanjin felt like giving all his belongings to his son, which made Pei Luoshu very unhappy. Women are inferior to men, which makes people laugh at them.

Now her younger brother has to take the lion's share of everything, which leads to bad relationship between the two siblings.

Pei Zhaoli sneered at the man in front of him.

"This is not up to Master Chu. Miss Nan should also be very curious about why I am here today to compete in martial arts to find a husband."

"It's not my business."

Nan Jinming rolled his eyes.

"The young lady looks somewhat familiar, and somewhat like my old friend."

Pei Zhaoli was a little angry when he saw Nan Jinming ignoring him and even used his hands to protect Chu Xiaoran. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Her name is Murong Beitang. I wonder if the young lady has heard of her name."

Chu Xiaoran was stunned on the spot, because apart from him and Yan Qiu, no one else knew Nan Jinming's true identity.

But why did Pei Zhaoli know this?

Could it be that someone betrayed Nan Jinming? Or was it Pei Zhaoli...

Nan Jinming also thought of this, and he and Chu Xiaoran looked at each other at the same time.

Nan Jinming looked at Pei Zhaoli in front of him with complicated eyes. In his memory, it seemed that he had not met Pei Zhaoli many times in his previous life.

Most of the time, I heard news about Pei Chuanjin.

In his previous life, Pei Zhaoli always hid behind others, so he didn't know much about him. He had only met his mother, Pei Chuanjin.

Chu Xiaoran knew that Pei Chuanjin was the mastermind behind all this.

Pei Chuanjin wanted to usurp the throne, but in the end a bandit took advantage of the opportunity to break into the city, and he died on the battlefield, resulting in the destruction of his country and his family.

Nan Jinming didn't know what Pei Zhaoli's final outcome was.

He died too early in his previous life and was beheaded at a young age.

Pei Zhaoli might have lived longer. In his previous life, all he cared about was his family, his country and the world. How could he have thought of love?

In this life, my heart is full of love, and I don’t care much about my family, country and the world.

I have lived two lives, one for my country and one for the people around me.

Pei Zhaoli looked at the two people's ever-changing expressions and knew that he had hit Nan Jinming's sore spot. He was about to say something else, but the crowd around him suddenly became restless.

"Someone is murdered in Beimen Mansion! Someone is murdered!"

"Someone was killed in Beimen Mansion!"

"Go and have a look!"

Few of those who came to compete for a bride today were sincere. Pei Zhaoli also knew how to choose the time, and he chose such a grand festival as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yuecheng attaches the most importance to these festivals. Since the martial arts competition for a bride coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Nan Jinming knew this was a good opportunity, so he took Chu Xiaoran's hand and rushed into the crowd. In a moment, he was submerged in the crowd.

"Why does he know this?"

Chu Xiaoran muttered in a low voice.

"Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe Yan Qiu, that big mouth, let the news slip."

Nan Jinming replied comfortingly.

"Sir, they ran away."

"No problem."
