Chapter 1087 This is okay
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochuan's heart suddenly tightened, and a terrible thought suddenly emerged:
"Mr. Feng! Does the Huangfu family... also worship such a... old bastard?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the relaxation on Feng Ji's face disappeared without a trace.
He was obviously reluctant to touch upon this taboo topic, but facing Jiang Xiaochuan's questioning gaze, he could only bite the bullet and nod.
"Rumor has it... there's someone like this lurking beneath the foundations of each of the six major families!"
"It's just... these old monsters have been gone for too long, and have become shadows that live only in rumors..."
"The six major families have been able to maintain their position of power thanks to the outsiders' fear of 'better to believe it than not'! Now this Zhuge family member... has revealed himself! This is equivalent to... making the rumors a reality!"
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xiaochuan, his eyes wandering: "Since Zhuge Canglan has appeared alive, then the one from the Huangfu family is probably not groundless."
"It's said that old fellow's... Taoist skills... are a little higher than Zhuge Canglan's!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's face turn pale in an instant, Feng Ji hurriedly said, "...But! This may not be true!"
"There's a more reliable story. A hundred years ago, the old monster from the Huangfu family was framed while trying to steal a world-shattering treasure. Although he managed to escape at all costs, he was severely injured."
"There were rumors back then... that he... was completely gone! For a full hundred years! Not a single word of him came out of the capital. He might have even died."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan felt the heavy burden on his heart not only did not loosen at all, but became even heavier.
He suddenly thought, what if the Huangfu family really lost this stabilizing force?
With that old fellow Zhuge Canglan's cultivation and temper, he would have been unable to restrain himself and would have chopped the entire Huangfu family into pieces!
How can you allow them to act like this right under your nose?
Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that old dog Huangfu Jingzhai dared to calmly give him a month.
"Ogawa..."
Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's expression change, Feng Ji opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort him.
But when the words came to my lips, they felt so pale.
The opponent is too strong, so strong that it is suffocating.
He knew very well Jiang Xiaochuan's efforts and struggles.
But in front of such a terrifying existence, it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an insurmountable chasm.
"Mr. Feng, let's go back."
Just as Feng Ji was sighing in his heart, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly raised his head, which scared him.
Jiang Xiaochuan already had a plan in mind. If he wanted to bring down the Huangfu family, it would be a pipe dream to risk his life alone.
We must rely on the power of the Zhuge family!
Thinking of Zhuge Canglan's scrutinizing eyes when he proposed cooperation just now, Jiang Xiaochuan knew clearly in his heart that if he wanted to be qualified to be "used", he had to improve his abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to be a pawn!
Therefore, the current situation is still to build one's own power.
"......it is good."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan didn't seem to be pretending, Feng Ji felt relieved and followed Jiang Xiaochuan back to their only place of residence in the capital without saying a word.
When the two approached, the scene before them made them pause.
A group of construction workers in work clothes were busy coming in and out, with shouts and banging sounds mixed together.
The backyard, which was almost reduced to ruins by last night's battle, is now being repaired.
Needless to say, these workers were arranged by Du Hai.
The flying dust and busy figures inject a touch of human touch into this barren land.
Nearby residents stood in groups of two or three, watching from a distance and whispering to each other:
"Last night, the noise was like a thunderclap. I thought someone was dead. How come it's being repaired today?"
"Isn't this a haunted house that no one dares to live in? Did it change owners?"
Curiosity scratched people like a cat's claws, but no one dared to get close.
What’s even more eye-catching is yet to come!
Several black commercial vehicles were blocking the entrance of the courtyard that was under renovation!
The car door opened with a bang, and a large group of people rushed out, all of them with unfriendly faces and fierce auras.
The leader, some sharp-eyed residents gasped - "Isn't that the head of the Peng family, Peng Chaoen?!"
This man is a well-known figure in the capital, but at this moment, his well-maintained face is so gloomy that you can squeeze water out of it!
However, in just one day, Peng Chaoen's mood was like a roller coaster, soaring from the bottom to the peak in an instant, and it seemed that it might fall again at any time.
Yesterday, he received a message from Situ Hong, saying that he had taken a fancy to this "haunted house" and wanted to "requisition" it for fun.
Peng Chaoen was ecstatic at that time!
Who is Situ Hong?
He is the most famous playboy in the capital!
He figured that this guy probably wanted to find some excitement, so he brought his female companion to this "haunted house" to try some new things and experience a unique "sense of conquest."
This is undoubtedly a godsend opportunity for the Peng family, which is currently in turmoil!
Peng Jiazheng was in urgent need of climbing a big tree to consolidate his position. Without thinking twice, he immediately gave the house to Situ Hong. Not only that, he was shameless and climbed up the pole to ask for a chance to meet Situ Hong.
When they met, Peng Chaoen was very humble and swore to be loyal.
Although Situ Hong is a well-known prodigal son, he has a special status in the Situ family - he is the rightful heir!
Even though the position is a bit precarious, it is the only life-saving straw that Peng Chaoen can grasp!
Huangfu Yuan's path was obviously not feasible, so he could only settle for the second best and pledge allegiance to Situ Hong himself, willingly being his "peasant."
Thinking that with this gentleman's reputation, at least small characters like Jiang Xiaochuan would never dare to touch the Peng family again.
It has to be said that Peng Chaoen's move was exactly what he wanted.
Situ Hongting enjoyed the feeling of being supported by others, and the two hit it off immediately.
In order to please Situ Hong, Peng Chaoen even spent a lot of money to collect several top-quality...
Just today, when Peng Chaoen sent someone to the Situ family's house to invite Situ Hong, he was turned away by the security guard.
At the same time, he also received a vague piece of news that made him shudder with fear—it seemed that Situ Hong was... kicked out from here... last night?!
When Peng Chaoen got the news, he felt like the sky was falling.
My first reaction was—who is this blind bastard who couldn't even recognize Young Master Situ Hong? How dare he chase him away?!
This is not only a slap in the face of Peng Chaoen, but also a slap in the face of the Situ family!
Is this a big deal? !
Therefore, he immediately gathered all the capable warriors of the Peng family and attacked aggressively! His goal was only one:
Find that audacious bastard and give him a beheading!
Give Situ Hong a satisfactory explanation, and show your loyalty at the same time!
