After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Pei Ruo and Qi Hengnan just went to the front hall to pay a visit to Pei Yun, but Pei Yun ignored them and simply ignored them.

This kind of indifference made the two of them feel unwilling and angry. Qi Hengnan was very scheming, but he managed to keep it from showing. When Pei Ruo returned to her room, her beautiful face was already filled with a hideous and distorted look.

"Bang" Pei Ruo took the teacup from the table and threw it to the ground angrily, "Who is she? She is just a concubine's daughter..."

Qi Hengnan, such an arrogant hypocrite, naturally couldn't stand the disdain and indifference that Pei Yun showed when he looked at him.

But he understood that Pei Yun could easily crush them now, both in terms of his own strength and the sect's connections. The previous confrontations had made him completely sober. Trying to suppress Pei Yun by using the sect's laws would only put himself in a more difficult situation.

"Don't forget we have more important things to do..."

Qi Hengnan looked at Pei Ruo expressionlessly. Although he had long been impatient with this impatient idiot, he knew that now was not the time for internal fighting, so he had to remind him through voice transmission, "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Don't forget what Senior Brother Li told us..."

When Pei Ruo heard the words "Senior Brother Li", her face suddenly darkened. The hatred and jealousy on her face slowly faded away, and then a rare trace of fear emerged. She sat down silently, her hands trembling slightly. She looked at Qi Hengnan and said nothing more.

These were the only images that Xiaobai, who was sent by Pei Yun to inquire, sent to her. Naturally, she could not hear the conversation between the two, so she did not find any unusual clues.

However, observing the expression on Pei Ruo's face carefully, she was very curious about what Qi Hengnan had said to her that made her look so fearful.

Qi Hengnan, who was careful and patient, was indeed a difficult person to deal with! In comparison, Pei Ruo's skills were too shallow, and his true colors were exposed with just a slight provocation.

Ever since Pei Yun agreed to stay and attend Pei Ye's wedding, Pei Tan and the people from the second branch of the Pei family have had smiles on their faces.

They deliberately spread the news of Pei Yun's return and his current cultivation level, so that all the major families in Chi Ning City would know that their Pei family also had a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core...

In Chi Ning City, the only people who can reach the middle stage of the Golden Core are City Lord Zhao and the ancestors of the five major families. If Pei Yun is included, there will be no more than two hands.

Pei Yun can reach their strength at this age. In a few decades, he will definitely leave them far behind. This time, their Chi Ning City has actually produced an unparalleled genius!

In Chi Ning City, the five major families and the smaller families all got the news. For a while, the whole city was talking about Pei Yun and the Pei family...

"He's only in his early thirties, but his cultivation has already surpassed us old guys..."

"Master, this is an invitation from the Pei family. We..."

"Go! Of course we have to go. Even if Pei Yun is not here, we have to show our support and prepare generous gifts for City Lord Zhao's youngest daughter to get married."

"Yes."

……

"Father, this Pei Yun is too evil! How long has it been? During the last city competition, she was only in the middle stage of foundation building. In just a few years, her cultivation level has surpassed yours!"

“The young are to be feared… The young are to be feared!”

"It seems that the rise of the Pei family cannot be stopped..."

"Our City Lord Zhao has made a good plan. He married his daughter to the Pei family and further strengthened his relationship with the Pei family. Now his position in Chi Ning City is even more unshakable..."

"Father, what do you think if our Ma family comes to propose marriage..."

"Son! You still don't understand. Even if this girl is placed in the entire Zhouxia Kingdom, or even the entire Beiqi Continent, her talent is one of the best. How could such a person marry into our Ma family? Our Ma family can't support such a peerless genius..."

……

"Husband, our bet was right this time. The little girl from the Pei family is really amazing! How old is she? The last time I saw her, her face was still very young, but in the blink of an eye, she has already broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core..."

"Before, you were unwilling to marry Qingqing to the Pei family. I have long said that the Pei family has a promising future. Since Pei Yun's rise, the second branch of the Pei family has completely gained power. Now Pei Ye has been identified as the next head of the family. Qingqing will have a good life if she marries him..."

"Father, father! Pei Yun is outside asking to see you, saying that he wants to come and meet you..." City Lord Zhao's son ran in eagerly.

"Why don't you welcome him in quickly!" City Lord Zhao didn't expect Pei Yun to come to the City Lord's Mansion to pay him a visit, so the family of three hurriedly got up and went out, ready to go and greet him.

After some greetings, Pei Yun sat in the seat below City Lord Zhao.

"It's only been a few years, and Miss Pei has already reached the same level of cultivation as me. It's true that the young are to be feared. I really didn't make a mistake in my judgment back then, hahahaha..."

City Lord Zhao looked at Pei Yun with a smile and praised her earnestly. These words were sincere and from the bottom of his heart. Now Pei Yun was sitting in front of him. Looking at the pressure faintly displayed by the person in front of him, he could feel that this woman had a solid foundation, which was not improved by taking drugs. This made him value Pei Yun even more.

"Thank you for your praise, City Lord Zhao. This is all thanks to your support..."

Pei Yun was humble for a while, and then he and City Lord Zhao flattered each other for a few words before he began to explain his purpose. "I am really ashamed to say that I promised the City Lord that I would participate in the last city competition, but at that time I was stuck at the hurdle of perfecting the foundation, so I went to travel in Nanyue Continent and missed the city competition. I am sorry to City Lord Zhao for breaking my promise..."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to City Lord Zhao. Without Pei Yun's participation this time, Chi Ning City had fallen back several places in the competition among various cities. She guessed that the people of Chi Ning City would probably be ridiculed by other cities. This was not a fair thing for her to do.

"No need to do this, no need to do this, what could be more important than improving your own cultivation?"

City Lord Zhao waved his hand generously. To be honest, he was a little unhappy about Pei Yun's absence before. However, he only mentioned this matter verbally to Pei Yun at first and did not make a formal agreement.

He thought that Pei Yun had been in Yunshan Sect all year round, so he could just let the Pei family notify them when the competitions in various cities came. However, no one expected that when the time came, Pei Yun would go out traveling and could not be found.

Now Pei Yun's apology and explanation made him feel much better. Besides, with Pei Yun's current strength, what's the point of pursuing these things? It would be better to look forward to the future.

"City Lord Zhao, these are the resources that Chi Ning City has allocated to my Pei family over the past few years. They have all been converted into spirit stones. Since I did not participate in the last city competition, I naturally cannot use the same ratio as the previous one. I will return it to you..."

"This... Miss Pei, there is no need to be like this. To be honest, I treat the Pei family so well because of Miss Pei's face. I value your potential. After all, you are also a part of my Chi Ning City..." City Lord Zhao pushed the storage bag back.

These sincere words made Pei Yun look at City Lord Zhao with a higher opinion, and she also heard the hint in City Lord Zhao's words that Chi Ningcheng would need her help in the future.

Pei Yun was not ignorant of the ways of the world, but returning the spirit stones so cleanly was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Since the city lord is so polite, I will accept his kindness. I am originally from Chi Ning City, so I have the responsibility to protect the city. However, I usually practice in seclusion or travel a lot, so I may miss the city competitions in the future. I hope the city lord will forgive me..."

She doesn't even have enough time to practice on her own, and she often goes out traveling, so she really can't guarantee anything to City Lord Zhao.

"That's natural. Miss Pei has achieved such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Talent and hard work are both indispensable. I won't force it..."

"City Lord Zhao, I didn't prepare any gifts for this visit. This is a little token of my appreciation to you, and also to thank you for taking care of my Pei family over the years..." Pei Yun took out the pills he had refined.

More than a dozen jade bottles were placed in a brocade box. The eyes of the three Zhao family members lit up instantly. Only then did they remember that Pei Yun was also an alchemist.

The pills that Pei Yun gave to City Lord Zhao were all sixth- and seventh-grade pills. In terms of quantity and quality, the value of these pills far exceeded the resources she was just about to return.

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

"This is my thanks to City Lord Zhao. You don't have to refuse..."

City Lord Zhao politely declined the offer before happily accepting it. Pei Yun was even invited to have a meal before leaving the City Lord's Mansion...
