Chapter 9 House Discussions
Pei Hao's voice spread in the living room, causing the atmosphere to freeze instantly. No one expected that this person who was quite kind to Li Luo in the past could actually say such vicious words now. .
Although Li Luo's face is indeed pale and his complexion is not very good now, it doesn't mean that he will not have a few years to live, right?
The three pavilion masters under Pei Hao looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't say anything. They just stared at the ground with twinkling eyes, as if the pattern on the floor under their feet was particularly attractive.
The other six pavilion masters looked angry.
"Bang!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled. Looking around, they saw Jiang Qing'e's jade hands clapped on the table, and her delicate face was covered with frost.
However, before Jiang Qing'e could say anything, Pei Hao clapped his mouth quickly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so arrogant." "I hope
Xiao Luo won't blame him."
Li Luo stared at Pei Hao. He looked at the latter carefully and then smiled. Although he had become accustomed to the faces of people in front and behind in the past few years, those people were outside the family after all, and This Pei Hao, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that his parents have saved and rehabilitated him.
Without Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, Pei Hao would have had his limbs broken by his enemies long ago and left him in a smelly ditch to die. How could he be where he is today?
However, what Pei Hao showed now was obviously not a trace of gratitude to his parents, but rather a deep resentment.
This made Li Luo sigh a little, his parents, after so many years of wisdom, still made a mistake once.
"Chief Pei Hao is just showing his true nature. There is nothing to blame. And to be honest, even if I blame him now, what can I do? So there is no need to say such nonsense." Li Luo shook his head. , and then sat down on the empty first seat.
Pei Hao had a smile on his face, and he turned a ring on his finger casually. He did not show anger because of the irony contained in Li Luo's words, because there was no need at all. As Li Luo said, even if he If you want to blame, what can you do?
Today's Luo Lan Mansion is no longer the same as before.
Without those two mountains pressing down on him, Pei Hao was no longer afraid of anyone in Luo Lan Mansion.
A young palace master with no future is nothing more than a puppet. If Jiang Qing'e hadn't been there, he, Pei Hao, would have completely taken control of Luo Lan Mansion.
"Now that the Young Master is here, can we start the discussion?" Pei Hao turned to Jiang Qing'e.
Jiang Qing'e had no expression on her face and said calmly: "Then first tell me why not a single amount of gold has been handed over to the treasury this year among the three pavilions under your jurisdiction." Pei Hao sighed softly and said
: "The situation in my Three Pavilions is extremely bad this year. My junior sister must have heard before that the warehouse of Three Pavilions was suddenly burned down. I suspected that it was the forces coveting the Luo Lan Mansion that caused the trouble. I also conducted a thorough investigation, but there has been no trace of anything. As a result, there is no money to be paid for the time being this year."
Li Luo just listened quietly. Although he knew that Pei Hao's reason was ridiculous, he did not interrupt anymore because he understood that now he was in Luo Lan People in the mansion do not have much say in the matter. The so-called young master of the mansion may be just a mascot in the eyes of various people in the mansion.
In this case, there is no need to open your mouth and ask for trouble.
Jiang Qing'e took a deep look at Pei Hao and said, "Pei Hao, is this your reason?"
Pei Hao smiled slightly and said, "Since junior sister wants a reason, I can only find one for you. Why do you need to ask clearly about some things?"
"Forget it. Now that we have reached this point, let me explain it to my junior sister and the young palace master. Not only will the three palaces no longer pay the contributions this year, but from now on From now on, I won't turn it in anymore." Although Pei Hao's voice was soft, it was undoubtedly like thunder in the ears of everyone in the living room.
The cold air emanating from Jiang Qing'e's body seemed to freeze the air. She said in a cold voice, "It seems you are planning to start your own business?" Pei Hao smiled and said, "I can't bear to
leave Luo Lan." It’s just that there is no real palace master in Luo Lan’s mansion now. I don’t know whose hands these donations fell into. Instead of doing this, it is better to wait until a truly convincing palace master appears in the future. Then I will It's not too late to hand it in."
The atmosphere in the living room was depressing, and the other six palace masters also looked a little ugly. If Pei Hao was really allowed to do this, then Luo Lan Palace would probably become the laughing stock of the other four major palaces.
Because Pei Hao's move can be regarded as supporting his own troops and intending to split the Luo Lan Mansion.
"Pei Hao, do you want to bring down the Luo Lan Mansion? How much benefit do you think you can get from the collapse of the Luo Lan Mansion?" A middle-aged man on the right said in a deep voice. This person's name is Lei Zhang , it is a pavilion master who supports Jiang Qing'e.
Pei Hao shook his head: "I said, I don't want Luo Lan's house to fall."
He seemed to be silent for a few breaths, then turned his eyes to Li Luo, who said nothing, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have to abide by the rules. From now on It is not impossible to pay the donation truthfully in the future. Of course, the premise is that I hope the young master can agree to a condition." Everyone in the
living room was shocked, obviously not expecting Pei Hao to suddenly bring the topic to Li Luo.
Li Luo stepped back from the state of staring at Pei Hao, looking at Pei Hao, and said with some curiosity: "I also want to know, what are the conditions for Pei Hao to be in charge?" Pei Hao looked at Li Luo
's He turned towards Jiang Qing'e, looking at the latter's delicate and cold face and slim figure, a trace of fiery greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"I hope the young master can terminate the engagement with his junior sister."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Although Li Luo was not furious, his expression became expressionless, even though he had discussed the return of the engagement with Jiang Qing'e before, and even reached an agreement with her for this purpose.
But the engagement was between him and Jiang Qing'e. The two of them could say and do whatever they wanted.
And who was this Pei Hao?
"Boom!"
Just when Li Luo's heart was filled with coldness, a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted directly in the living room.
That energy was as bright as light, and the light swept across, blocking out all the light in the living room.
Then, Li Luo vaguely saw the figure of Jiang Qing'e sitting aside, shooting out like a sudden flash of light. Point directly at Pei Hao's location.
The sudden attack also made Pei Hao's eyes freeze, and in the next moment, sharp golden light erupted from his body.
The sword-shaped earring hanging on his right earlobe quickly fell off and turned into a golden sword as the storm surged.
On the long sword, sharp golden light energy surged, erratically, like countless golden rainbows.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and a violent energy shock wave erupted, immediately shattering all the tables and chairs in the living room.
The nine pavilion masters quickly took action to resolve the aftermath of the energy, and then looked intently at the field.
I saw two figures facing each other there, their swords facing each other, it was Jiang Qing'e and Pei Hao.
Jiang Qing'e was holding a heavy sword, with a bright light flowing on the sword. The light was so dazzling that it made people's eyes sting just by looking at it.
Moreover, the pure sacredness and burning feeling also shocked them.
What a domineering light power!
Opposite Jiang Qing'e, Pei Hao was holding a golden sword. The golden phase force coming out of his body seemed extremely sharp and powerful.
That is the power of metal.
The two swords collided and clashed with each other, causing the floor to gradually crack.
Pei Hao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The ninth grade light phase is really well-deserved. The junior sister is obviously only in the early stage of the Earthly Evil General, but the power of this phase is so powerful and domineering that it is not inferior to me, the late stage Earthly Evil General." ."
"You must have reached the seventh level of gold, right? It seems that you have squandered the money from Luo Lan Mansion in the past." Jiang Qing'e said coldly.
In the past, Pei Hao's Metal Physics was at the sixth level, but in this fight, Jiang Qing'e also noticed that the opponent's Metal Physics power had become more powerful, and if the Sixth-Rank Metal Physics wanted to be promoted to the Seventh Grade, the spiritual power needed to do so was Shui Qiguang is not a small number.
Pei Hao was noncommittal, and the next moment, he and Jiang Qing'e suddenly exploded with mutual force in their bodies almost at the same time, and the sword tip struck hard.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron was accompanied by an energy impact, and both figures took a few steps back.
"Pei Hao, you are so presumptuous!" At this time, Lei Zhang and other pavilion masters immediately appeared behind Jiang Qing'e and shouted with livid faces.
However, three pavilion masters appeared behind Pei Hao, looking wary.
Outside the living room, the commotion here also caused some chaos in the old house. Two waves of people rushed out from everywhere like a tide, and then faced off.
"Junior sister, do you plan to let the entire Daxia Kingdom know that there is civil strife in Luo Lan Mansion?" Pei Hao said with a smile.
Jiang Qing'e's face was cold, and murderous intent flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Pei Hao, if you don't want to die, just swallow those words you said before. You have no right to interfere in our affairs." Pei Hao was silent for a few breaths
. , frowned and said: "Little Junior Sister, why are you like this? That engagement is probably just a burden for you, right? I know you are grateful to Master and Sister, but there is no need to commit yourself to Li Luo. He really Not worthy."
"Of course a person with a heartless heart doesn't understand what gratitude is." Jiang Qing'e said calmly.
Pei Hao shook his head, then turned his eyes to Li Luo and said, "Li Luo, you are actually quite smart, so I think you should know what it means to have a jade in your arms. Luo Lan Mansion is a beautiful wall to you, junior sister. These proud men of heaven are even more untouchable to you."
"Believe me, if you want to imprison the little junior sister based on her gratitude to the master and master, it will only bring you a disaster in the end."
Li Luo said calmly: "Then according to what you mean, this Luo Lan Do I have to give up both the government and Sister Qing'e?"
"If you are smart enough, you should be like this." Pei Hao nodded and said with some compassion: "I am doing this for your own good. If you don't have the ability, then you have to do it. Curb your greed, and you can still be a wealthy and idle person."
Li Luo smiled and said, "Pei Hao, are you really not worried about what happens if my parents suddenly come back one day?"
Pei Hao's pupils Shrinking slightly, the expressions of the three pavilion masters behind him also changed a bit.
Finally, Pei Hao shook his head gently and said, "Li Luo, please stop holding on to such sad and childish expectations. Judging from the news I got, Master and Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." He looked
at He looked at Li Luo and sighed sympathetically.
"So, your biggest supporter is gone."
"What's the difference between you now and me back then? No, you now may not be as good as me back then." "
After all, I was just like me back then. No background, dead end, but at least, I still have some potential."
"And you have nothing."
