Chapter 1160 - 1160: Prophetic Potential

"The road was a bit congested, sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Pei."

Qi Guanghe said as he walked into the private room.

Seeing Xiao Feng, Qi Guanghe paused: "And who might this be?"

"Qi Bro, let me introduce you." Pei Dengke stood up and introduced, "This is my longtime good buddy, Xiao Bajia.

Brother Ba, this is my best brother, Qi Guanghe. He is a man of his word, and in our Kyoto circle, there's no one who doesn't give him a thumbs up when his name is mentioned!"

"Hello!" Xiao Feng stood up and extended his right hand proactively.

Qi Guanghe walked over slowly, extending his hand for a handshake: "Your surname is Xiao?"

"That's right."

"Is it the Xiao in 'Sorrowful Xiao', or the Xiao in 'Zodiac Xiao'?"

Xiao Feng laughed: "It's the Xiao in 'Flute Xiao'."

Qi Guanghe frowned, the Xiao in 'Flute Xiao', is it not the same as the Xiao in 'Sorrowful Xiao'?

But, that's not important.

What's important is, whether it's the Xiao in 'Flute Xiao', or the Xiao in 'Sorrowful Xiao', both are the same as Xiao Feng's Xiao.

This instantly left him with no good impression of the person in front of him...

No, wait!

As if suddenly thinking of something, Qi Guanghe asked: "Are you from Jiangcheng?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, and Pei Dengke spoke timely: "Brother Ba is from Jiuyou Town, he doesn't have any relatives in Jiangcheng."

After speaking, he leaned towards Qi Guanghe, lowered his voice and said: "Qi Bro, don't misunderstand, he doesn't know Xiao Feng."

Only then did Qi Guanghe's expression ease a bit, looking at Xiao Feng, he said: "Xiao... Bajia?"

"Eh~~~" Xiao Feng responded in agreement, deliberately dragging out the last note.

"..." Qi Guanghe.

This dude is blatantly taking advantage here.

He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Brother Pei, I'm not trying to ruin the atmosphere. To be honest, if it weren't for your sake, he'd already be under the table!"

Saying that, he pointed a finger at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng blinked, looking extremely innocent, then appropriately showed a puzzled expression, bewildered: "It's our first meeting, have I offended you somehow, brother?"

"Qi Bro, don't be angry. Take a seat and have a drink to cool off." Pei Dengke tried to calm Qi Guanghe, and then explained to Xiao Feng:

"Brother Ba, don't misunderstand. Qi Bro's anger isn't directed at you. A while back, someone with the same surname as you in Jiangcheng offended Qi Bro. That Xiao's behavior was excessive, and it has made Qi Bro angry until now."

"Oh?" Xiao Feng said with interest, "How exactly was it excessive?"

This question immediately made Qi Guanghe glare at him, and Pei Dengke also looked embarrassed.

How should this be answered?

They couldn't just outright state Qi Guanghe's embarrassment by saying he was beaten by Brother Xiao to the point of losing control, could they?

Moreover, he highly suspected that Brother Ba was asking this deliberately, just to annoy Qi Guanghe.

But no matter what, the most important thing now was to save the situation.

Realizing this, Pei Dengke quickly thought it over, and after a long effort, managed to dispel the "gunpowder" atmosphere in the air, and the three sat down at the dining table together.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Pei Dengke went straight to the point: "To be frank, I've gathered you and Brother Ba here today because I have a favor to ask."

"Brother Pei, you're underestimating me, your brother Qi here." Qi Guanghe said, patting his chest: "Between good brothers, we help each other; no need to use the word 'favor.'

Speak up, whatever it is, I'll take care of it for you."

After organizing his words briefly in his mind, Pei Dengke stood and poured drinks for the two of them, then said:

"Here's the thing, I've taken a liking to a girl..."

However, as soon as he said that, Qi Guanghe interrupted: "I wondered what it could be, just a woman, Brother Pei. With just a word from you, I could have her sent to your bed."

"Qi Bro, mind your words." Pei Dengke said seriously: "The girl I've taken a liking to is from the Tang Family."

"Tang Family? Which Tang Family?"

"The Tang Family of Kyoto."

Qi Guanghe paused, frowned and thought for a while, then responded with confusion: "I haven't heard of any Tang Family..."

Pei Dengke exchanged a glance with Xiao Feng, took out a folder from behind, and handed it over: "These are documents about the Tang Family, Qi Bro, have a look."

Qi Guanghe reached out for the folder, and after flipping through just one page, tossed it onto the table dismissively:

"No wonder I haven't heard of them; with so little assets, they're not worth our attention. Don't worry, Brother Pei, leave it to me.

Which Tang Family girl do you fancy? I'll help you get her!"

"Qi Bro, I've heard that this Tang Family is not as simple as it seems."

"Simple or not, it's all the same to me." Qi Guanghe sneered: "Even if you fancy the wife of the Tang Patriarch, I'll still deliver her to your bed."

Xiao Feng's lips twitched twice, thinking to himself that this guy sure had a bit of a prophetic gift.

After all, Pei Dengke had his eye on none other than Tang Mingbo's wife, the Tang Patriarch.

A moment later, Pei Dengke raised his glass and picked up another glass of wine, saying: "Qi Bro, I still prefer a more gentle approach.

Tomorrow morning, I'm planning to propose to the Tang Family, and this time I invited you to discuss what if the Tang Family refuses..."

"Dare they!" Qi Guanghe said, sounding like he'd had too much to drink: "You go ahead without worry. If the Tang Family dares utter a word of refusal, I'll make them regret it!"

"Uh...Qi Bro, can you be more specific on how you plan to do that?" Pei Dengke hesitated: "After all, I do want to marry the Tang Family's daughter peacefully, it's not good to make a big mess."

"Want to know?"

Qi Guanghe chuckled, put down his glass, rolled up his sleeves, and began to elaborate on his plan...

After listening, Xiao Feng and Pei Dengke were at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.

Previously, they had been planning on how to rope Qi Guanghe into the scheme.

But now, not only had Qi Guanghe clearly expressed his willingness to get involved, he insisted on taking part, and couldn't be stopped.

The most important thing is, he's not only joining in, but also offering strategies and personally implementing them.

For this friendship alone, Pei Dengke was truly touched.

Looking at Qi Guanghe, who seemed eager to help, Pei Dengke sighed internally.

I'm sorry, Qi Bro, but I'm actually an undercover agent...

...

The bright sun shone high, scattering dry leaves throughout the courtyard.

In the Tang Family's large compound, a middle-aged man, looking elegant and handsome, was reading a book bound in thread with one hand.

He read very slowly, taking a while to turn a page, but his actions were unhurried, as if he were completely absorbed in the world of the book.

This man was none other than the current head of the Tang Family, Tang Mingbo.

However, just as Tang Mingbo was engrossed in an exciting part, a young man walked briskly up to him and said: "Chairman, someone claiming to be the young master of the Pei Family wants to see you."

"The young master of the Pei Family?" Tang Mingbo lowered his book, a look of curiosity in his eyes: "Did he say why he's here?"

"He didn't say, but he's carrying quite a few gifts, so he's likely not here to cause trouble."

Tang Mingbo chuckled softly: "Even with gifts, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing.

Come on, take me to see this young master of the Pei Family."
