"Chen, my young friend, we finally meet." At this moment, Ma Kun also spoke lightly, smiling slightly at Chen Fei.
But within that smile, everyone present could feel a chilling coldness that could freeze bones. Very cold...
Clearly, Cang Kun's guess yesterday wasn't wrong.
From the beginning, Ma Kun had seemingly no intention of forgetting those two matters.
"Yes, but judging by your look, it seems you don't really want to meet me?" Chen Fei glanced at the handsome Lord Changhong, then looked at Ma Kun, suddenly smiled, and said.
Upon seeing this, Lord Changhong's face subconsciously stiffened and then sank slightly, becoming cold.
Because Chen Fei hadn't responded to his words, choosing instead to continue the topic with Ma Kun. Wasn't this blatantly ignoring Lord Changhong?
Or saying he didn't care about Lord Changhong? Tsk tsk, this is quite interesting...
Thinking you're very important and powerful? Haha...
"...Haha."
Ma Kun was clearly surprised that Chen Fei could remain so calm in front of him and even ignore Lord Changhong. Pausing for a moment, he smiled and said, "Yes and no. But our current purpose in coming over is to resolve the two grudges with you, Chen, my young friend."
"Wouldn't you agree, Lord Changhong?" He then addressed Lord Changhong.
"Naturally." Lord Changhong said calmly, with a handsome face.
"Oh, such a thing exists?" Yuan Qing, Master Yuan interjected.
Though he knew some things, he had to pretend ignorance now to continue his bluff.
Otherwise, he'd have no excuse.
"Just a little misunderstanding." Ma Kun said calmly.
"Since it's a small misunderstanding, how should we resolve it?" Chen Fei narrowed his eyes, smiled at the other. To be honest, he was getting a bit fed up with the other's pretense of calm.
Because this attitude has a very professional descriptor on Earth!
Which is, posturing! Posturing in front of Chen Fei?
"It's simple." Lord Changhong finally spoke again, looking at Chen Fei with a proud and slightly contemptuous gaze, calmly said: "After hitting someone, you should apologize, right? Kneel and apologize to Brother Ma, and the previous two matters can be settled."
He spoke very calmly, very flatly, even the words 'kneel' seemed devoid of any intense emotional fluctuation.
He said it as casually as eating and drinking water. Yet he was indeed asking Chen Fei to kneel now!
"Lord Changhong!" Yuan Qing suddenly intervened, his face stern. How could Young Master Chen Fei possibly kneel?
On the side, Yan Zhou, Cang Kun, and Blue Whale's eyes flashed angrily at those words, but Chen Fei hadn't let them speak! So, they could only hold it in for now.
"Oh?" Chen Fei's eyes twinkled with a faint icy light: "Kneeling huh? You're saying it with such calm... What should I say to match?"
Seeing Chen Fei's even more 'calm' demeanor, Lord Changhong's eyes shrank slightly, faint coldness appeared.
Then he looked at Chen Fei and his tone became slightly cold, saying: "Why, are you unwilling?"
"Why should I be willing? Can you give me a reason?" Chen Fei said indifferently.
Seeing this, Ma Kun's eyes flashed with a faint grim color, vaguely sullen. Never imagined even with Lord Changhong, such a highly regarded person, that this brat wouldn't be afraid?
"Aren't you giving Lord Changhong face?" He looked at Chen Fei and said coldly, lightly.
Chen Fei glanced at Ma Kun and said indifferently: "Forgive me for asking, are you only capable of hiding behind, fanning the flames underhandedly, and pushing a brainless person to come up and talk to me?"
"What did you say?" Lord Changhong's face suddenly changed at these words.
Ma Kun's eyes also shrank.
"Kid, what do you mean by that? Saying Lord Changhong is brainless?" Ma Kun coldly said, staring at Chen Fei.
"I am indeed saying he's brainless, otherwise, how could he be used by you as a pawn?" Chen Fei said calmly.
"You..." Ma Kun's face finally changed, because Chen Fei's words were somewhat heart-piercing...
"So it seems like today you don't plan to reconcile with us?" But at this moment, Lord Changhong directly interrupted Ma Kun with sharp words. Coldly looked at Chen Fei and said.
Chen Fei glanced at him, said lightly: "Sorry, as you said, I indeed didn't plan to reconcile from the start."
Lord Changhong's face showed anger, but he forcibly restrained it, saying: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you refuse to reconcile?"
"I don't know." Chen Fei shook his head.
But then he slowly smiled: "However, I'm quite curious to find out. Would you be kind enough to let me know? In what way?"
"You..." Lord Changhong's eyes blazed with anger, his whole aura restless.
One must admit, Chen Fei really knows how to talk!
"Chen, my friend, we sincerely came to see you." Sima Kun's voice also became much lower, with a hint of threat.
"Oh really?" Chen Fei smiled faintly, looked at Sima Kun, and said, "I'm also speaking with sincerity now. How about this, you guys kneel down, and let me see if your sincerity is enough?"
"Kid, are you looking for trouble with me, Lord Changhong?" Lord Changhong's expression stiffened, and he said coldly.
"Haha, Lord Changhong, aren't you being a bit too serious?" Yuan Qing hurriedly interjected to mediate, smiling wryly. From his perspective, of course, he didn't want to see Chen Fei and Lord Changhong become enemies.
Because just Lord Changhong alone wasn't much, but the massive entity behind him, the Pei Family, was what truly invoked fear.
"Serious? Do you think it's serious? Didn't you hear what he said to me?" Lord Changhong said with somewhat heavy breathing, coldly.
"Chen, my friend, we can still give you one last chance! According to what Lord Changhong said, let's resolve all grievances here, otherwise..." Sima Kun's cold eyes flickered with a strange color as he spoke.
"You don't need to 'or else'." However, Chen Fei interrupted directly, waving his hand impatiently, and said, "Say what you can with your mouth, if you think you can't say it, then simply don't. Is a mouth the only thing you have?"
"You... fine! Very well!" Sima Kun finally realized the sharpness of Chen Fei's words, trembling with anger, his eyes filled with a tempestuous rage and a sinister coldness.
Boom!
From within Lord Changhong erupted a terrifying aura, the blood energy shaking, extremely terrifying, making one's scalp tingle.
His eyes looked coldly at Chen Fei, and he said, "It seems you're forcing us to take an adversarial path with you."
Feeling the aura, Cang Kun, and Blue Whale's faces subconsciously changed slightly, but Chen Fei remained expressionless, his face calm and unruffled, as if he felt nothing! As if he didn't feel anything at all.
He glanced at the other party, smiled faintly, and said, "This is your own choice. Whatever you choose, just decide for yourselves, don't come asking me."
Adversarial path? Haha, does that make one afraid?
"Some words, once said, shouldn't be regretted." Sima Kun calmed down instead, looking at Chen Fei and speaking calmly.
There was a sense of cold, conspiracy-like success in his eyes. Chen Fei falling out with Lord Changhong was, of course, beneficial to him!
"Rest assured, I won't." Chen Fei shook his head, smiling faintly.
"Fine, you said it yourself." Lord Changhong also unexpectedly calmed down, looking at Chen Fei, finally saying, "I know you might be an Alchemist with a high rank, which makes you arrogant, but even as an Alchemist, so what?"
"Perhaps I should remind you, my surname is Pei, from Ghost Wolf City, Pei Family." Lord Changhong said, with a tone full of pride at the end.
Ghost Wolf City, Pei Family, these five words indeed warranted his pride.
"Okay, you've reminded me now..." Chen Fei squinted his eyes with a smile, feeling this scene seemed oh so familiar.
I'm surnamed Sima! I'm surnamed Pei?
What were the results for those surnamed Sima?
"What does 'mutual destruction' mean?" Ling Han chuckled.
"You…" Lord Changhong's originally proud face and pupils directly stiffened again!
Pointing his finger at Chen Fei's nose, his face twisted in silence for a moment, then he slowly lowered it, eyes narrowing, and said sinisterly, "Fine, I will remember what you've said today."
"Seriously, you're the first person to leave such a 'deep impression' on me, Lord Changhong." Lord Changhong's pupils were filled with indifference and coldness.
Indeed, this might originally have been Sima Kun's matter, but now, Chen Fei's calm demeanor and words thoroughly infuriated him.
"Since the reconciliation failed, then farewell." Sima Kun glanced at Lord Changhong, whose eyes were still radiating coldness and tremors, and said slowly.
With his words, both he and Lord Changhong turned and left together.
"Master Chen…" Yuan Qing's face was worried. Sima Kun was fine, but Lord Changhong truly had significant backing…
"It's fine." But Chen Fei just waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Isn't he just a so-called Lord Changhong? At worst, it would just mean dealing with the Pei Family... If they really want to play, then play with them. After all, it's hard to decline their enthusiasm."
"Hard to decline?" Yuan Qing and the others' faces immediately turned strange. Could this really be considered hard to decline!?
Only Yan Zhou, the Iron Lion, instinctively took a deep look at Chen Fei, because he heard clearly, the key in Chen Fei's words was at the end... at worst, it's just the Pei Family!?
Saying it seemed easy, but facing them for real... Could he possibly be serious??
Meanwhile, in the direction of Azure Dragon Pavilion not far away, people were gathering noisily.
Because today's auction event was finally about to begin!
The one presiding over it was someone from the Giant Void Sect.
ps: Some elders and relatives are coming back for New Year's and Spring Festival, and I need to drive to Chengdu Airport to pick them up, so there are only two chapters today. Tomorrow might be the same, let's see… It's New Year's, the traditional festival, a bit busy, sorry about that.
Here, I wish everyone a happy New Year's in advance, family reunion, happiness and well-being, and great health and wealth in the coming year.
