Chapter 1066 1026: Proposing Marriage?

"Junior of Qian Long Sect, Zheng Xuankong, comes to wish Senior Pei Fa a happy birthday!" At this moment, a booming voice came from afar, drawing everyone's attention. On a large flag, the ancient script wrote Qian Long Sect and three characters.

In the center of this group, there was a man, over fifty years old, wearing a purple robe, with a powerful demeanor, riding a fierce beast, which involuntarily shocked many people's hearts.

"It's Zheng Xuankong from Qian Long Sect, the number one of the previous young generation! It's said that before he was a hundred years old, he was already half a step into the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm."

"What? It's actually him? I remember he went to Earth Martial City to train, right? How come he's back!?"

"I feel he's even stronger than when he left! Could it be that he's already broken through that barrier!?"

"You mean? Before a hundred, Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm? Impossible..."

...

The crowd was agitated.

This Zheng Xuankong had a big reputation in Ghost Wolf City decades ago! Because he was the number one of the previous young generation, even earlier than Pei Wanning, Pei Luan, Jianng Tian, and their generation.

And now, such a figure actually came in person to celebrate the birthday! It's really surprising.

"So it's Senior Zheng Xuankong. I didn't expect you to return, it's an incomparable honor for our Pei Family that you could spare time to come."

At this time, Pei Luan stepped forward, standing out prominently.

"You must be Pei Luan, right? Spirited and impressive." Zheng Xuankong smiled at Pei Luan and said.

Then his gaze unintentionally fell on Pei Wanning behind Pei Luan, his eyes brightened, a bit amazed, and he said: "This is Fairy Pei Wanning? Any man who marries such a woman is truly blessed."

Pei Wanning did not speak.

"You're too kind, Senior Zheng Xuankong." Pei Luan couldn't help but smile smugly, waved his hand, and said, "Senior Zheng Xuankong, please inside."

"Oh?" At this moment, Pei Luan's gaze turned unconsciously and fell on the faces of Jianng Tian and the others in the distance, and then he smiled again, arrogantly saying: "So Brother Jianng Tian is here as well. Since you're here, why not join us?"

"Senior Zheng Xuankong, let me introduce you. This is Brother Jianng Tian from the War Soul Palace, very formidable, and is known as the number one of the young generation in the War Soul Palace." Pei Luan introduced.

Upon hearing this, Jianng Tian instinctively glanced at Chen Fei, and then approached with a smile, saying: "Brother Pei Luan, you're teasing me. Compared to you, I'm less impressive. I'm Jianng Tian from War Soul Palace, greeting Senior Zheng Xuankong."

Whether these words were modest or his genuine self-assessment is unclear...

"So you're a talented member of War Soul Palace, quite impressive." Zheng Xuankong glanced at Jianng Tian and said with a smile. The War Soul Palace is a part of Tri-Extremes Palace, with formidable strength, naturally deserving of his attention.

However, as he spoke, his gaze inadvertently passed over Chen Fei, instinctively paused, slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "And who is this?"

On this person, Zheng Xuankong actually had a sense of seeing through? Is it an illusion... This slightly piqued his interest.

"This is a new disciple accepted by our War Soul Palace's Palace Master. Please excuse us, Senior." Jianng Tian immediately said.

This was the temporary new identity already devised for Chen Fei.

"A new disciple of Senior Muy Changge? Not bad, with the style of Lord Muy Changge." Zheng Xuankong looked at Chen Fei with suspicion and surprise, not expecting him to be the new disciple accepted by War Soul Palace's Palace Master Muy Changge, which was indeed not surprising.

This kid will probably be quite a figure in the future.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior." Chen Fei smiled and replied.

"So you're the new disciple of Senior Muy Changge. Keep up the good effort, and perhaps you'll catch up with us one day." Pei Luan was also slightly stunned, then smiled arrogantly.

As soon as he said this, everyone present frowned slightly.

Such words were a bit too arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei was slightly stunned as well, but he didn't mind and instead turned his gaze to the cold-faced Pei Wanning, smiled, and said: "I've long heard of Fairy Pei Wanning's beauty like a flower, a celestial beauty, and now I see it's indeed true."

Everyone's expressions changed again. Then, they slightly smiled bitterly.

This kid is interesting, flirting with the woman Pei Luan is about to marry right in front of him?

It seems this kid is a bit unhappy with Pei Luan's previous arrogant attitude, isn't he? But it's normal. Being chosen by the Palace Master of War Soul Palace and accepted as a disciple, how could he not have any temper?

No temper? Only mediocrities have no temper.

"Hmm?" Pei Luan's eyes couldn't help but furrow slightly, coldly looking at Chen Fei.

But when he saw Zheng Xuankong and the others' gazes, he seemed to come back to his senses, understanding why the opponent was like this.

There was a hidden hint of dissatisfaction in his deep eyes as he looked at Zheng Xuankong, Jianng Tian, and the others and said lightly: "Senior Zheng Xuankong, Brother Jianng, shall we go inside?"

Given his status, even if he was dissatisfied with Chen Fei, it was inappropriate to show it.

"Naturally, let's go." Zheng Xuankong nodded.

"Hmm?" Jianng Tian nodded. His peripheral vision seemed to unconsciously glance at Chen Fei, with a slight bitter smile.

He, of course, knew why Chen Fei suddenly flirted with Pei Wanning.

This esteemed person seems to be here specifically for Pei Wanning, isn't he?

In contrast, Pei Wanning cast a cold glance at Chen Fei. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of familiarity from Chen Fei, yet she was not in the mood to dwell on it...

After a moment, their group was invited into the grand hall where the Pei family was hosting the birthday banquet.

Inside the hall, Chen Fei secretly observed Pei Fa's birthday banquet and those who attended. It seemed that the older generation had not yet arrived. Among the younger generation? There were some who seemed prominent, but in his eyes, that was all.

At this moment, Zheng Xuankong had already walked down the palace steps and arrived before Pei Fa.

He respectfully said, "Junior Zheng Xuankong, greets Senior Pei Fa."

With these words, a gleam of light flashed in his hand, and a brocade box appeared, which was handed over. Someone beside Pei Fa accepted it.

"A small token, to wish Senior Pei Fa boundless longevity," Zheng Xuankong said with a smile.

"Nephew Zheng Xuankong, it's been a long time since we last met. Is your father well? This gift seems a bit heavy," Pei Fa said with a smile full of warmth. Zheng Xuankong's father, an elder of the Qian Long Sect, was an old acquaintance of his, and indeed had an astonishing background.

The birthday gift he presented was actually a pill filled with potent medicinal power. Though he didn't know exactly what the pill was, Pei Fa could tell it was priceless. A bit too heavy.

"Just a meager gift, as long as Senior Pei Fa does not dislike it. My father is doing quite well," Zheng Xuankong said with a smile.

"That's good to hear," Pei Fa said with a smile. "Please make yourself comfortable, Nephew. There are many young talents from various schools at this banquet today. If you don't mind, you could guide them a bit."

"Guidance is unnecessary. Just interaction will do," Zheng Xuankong replied with a smile, turning to walk down the steps.

Then, groups appeared one after another, and one by one, influential figures also arrived.

People began to present birthday gifts one after another, creating a jubilant and lively atmosphere. At this moment, Chen Fei left the War Soul Palace group and sat quietly on the edge of the venue. Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's you?" Chen Fei looked up, realizing the person was actually Pei Luan, and couldn't help but smile inwardly. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "What brings you here, groom?"

Pei Luan looked down condescendingly at Chen Fei and said, "Your previous actions made me quite displeased."

"Oh? And what of it?" Chen Fei's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

"Nothing much, just wanted to warn you. Being taken as a disciple by Senior Muy Changge and entering our circle gives you some pride, which is understandable. However, being too proud isn't always good... Some words are best left unsaid, because if you displease me, well, hehe." Pei Luan said indifferently.

"Oh, it seems you're quite confident in yourself? Warning me? Are you sure?" Chen Fei smiled, looking at the haughty Pei Luan, and said calmly.

"In the vast Ghost Wolf City, there are no shortage of prodigies. Even if you have talent now, have you truly grown? If you haven't, to me, you're just another peculiar normal person. If I wanted to crush you, how much force do you think it would take?"

Pei Luan said arrogantly.

"Heh." Hearing his words, Chen Fei's lips curled with a faint smile, then shook his head, shifted his gaze, and no longer looked at him.

Pei Luan, being ignored by Chen Fei, gradually turned cold and shouted menacingly, "Playing deep? Very well, then immediately apologize to me, Pei Luan, and I will spare you this time. Otherwise, I'll make sure you understand what consequences there are for offending me!"

"Consequences? It seems you're really filled with confidence in yourself? Fine, if that's the case..."

Upon hearing these threatening words, Chen Fei's eyes flashed, revealing a cold glimmer. Then he stood up and said loudly, "Senior Pei Fa, as a junior, there's something I'd like to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Whoosh!

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Fei.

For a moment, the grand hall was extremely quiet.

"What do you think you're doing?" Pei Luan's expression shifted, lowering his voice, and said.

"Hmm?" Pei Fa's eyes suddenly focused sharply, gazing at Chen Fei. "Who are you?"

"Master, he is a newly received disciple by Palace Master Muy Changge of the War Soul Palace," said someone beside him.

"So you're the new disciple that Brother Muy received? Very well, speak freely." Only then did Pei Fa's eyes flicker slightly, responding politely.

"It's nothing significant. I just think that a figure like Fairy Pei Wanning, so beautiful and exceptional, might be too good for someone like Pei Luan, who is rather ordinary..."

The crowd's expressions became suspicious.

So did Pei Luan, whose expression changed dramatically, full of shock and anger!

"Otherwise, Senior Pei Fa, how about betrothing Fairy Pei Wanning to me? Compared to this waste, I'm much more outstanding."

In the silent grand hall, Chen Fei smacked his lips and laughed brightly, his voice resounding once again.

Wow!

The crowd was in an uproar.

In an instant, Pei Luan's face turned ashen.

"You dog! You're courting death!" The murderous intent gleamed in his eyes, and with a raise of his hand, an overwhelmingly powerful chilling force from the Third Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm burst forth, concentrating into a sword shadow, shining brightly with peerless killing intent.

With a single sword, it slashed down towards him!
