Pei Hao's voice spread in the living room, directly 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 complexion is indeed pale now, and his complexion is not very good, but... he can't curse people for not living for a few years, right
The three pavilion masters that Pei Hao attacked looked slightly embarrassed, but they didn't say anything, they just stared at the ground with flickering eyes, as if the patterns on the floor under their feet were particularly attractive.
The other six pavilion masters were angry.
"boom!"
A loud voice sounded suddenly, and everyone was startled. When they looked, they saw Jiang Qing'e clapping her jade hand on the table, and her delicate face was covered with frost.
However, before Jiang Qing'e could speak, Pei Hao quickly patted his mouth and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm so outspoken."
"I also hope that Xiao Luo will not blame him."
Li Luo stared at Pei Hao, he looked at the latter carefully, and then smiled, although he was used to seeing the faces of people before and after these few years, but those people were people from outside the house after all, As for Pei Hao, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his parents were kind to him in saving his life and rebuilding him.
Without Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan, Pei Hao's limbs would probably have been broken by his enemies long ago, and he would have been thrown into the stinky ditch to die, how could he be where he is today
However, what Pei Hao showed right now is obviously not a trace of gratitude to his parents, but rather deep resentment.
This made Li Luo sigh a little, his parents, wise and wise for so many years, still misunderstood once.
"The fact that Pei Hao is in charge is just an expression of his nature. There is nothing to blame. And to be honest, what can I do if I blame it now? So there is no need to talk about this kind of nonsense." Li Luo shook his head. , and then sat down on the empty first seat.
With a smile on his face, Pei Hao casually turned a wrench on his finger, but he didn't show his anger because of the irony contained in Li Luo's words, because it was unnecessary, just as Li Luo said, even if he If you want to blame, what can you do
Today's Luo Lan Mansion is not what it used to be.
Without the pressure of those two mountains, he, Pei Hao, is not afraid of anyone in Luo Lan Mansion.
A young mansion master with no future is nothing more than a puppet. If Jiang Qing'e hadn't been there, he, Pei Hao, would have completely controlled Luo Lan's mansion long ago.
"Since the Young Palace Master is here, can we start the discussion?" Pei Hao turned his gaze to Jiang Qing'e.
Jiang Qing'e was expressionless, and said flatly: "Then you should first talk about why, among the three pavilions under your jurisdiction, a sky-high amount of gold has not been handed over to the treasury this year."
Pei Hao sighed softly, and said: "The situation in my three pavilions is extremely bad this year. My junior sister should have heard about it before. The warehouse in the three pavilions was suddenly burned. I suspect that it was caused by those forces coveting Luo Lan's mansion, and I will also investigate thoroughly. I have done a lot of research, but there is no result yet, so there is no money to hand over for the time being this year."
Li Luo just listened quietly. Although he knew that Pei Hao's reasons were ridiculous, he didn't continue to interject because he understood that now he didn't have much right to speak in Luo Lan's mansion. Lord, in the eyes of all the people in the mansion, maybe it's just a mascot on display.
That being the case, there is no need to open your mouth to make fun of yourself.
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've reached this point, let me, my junior sister, and the young mansion master explain it to me... Not only will the three mansions not pay the donations this year, but from now on, they won't I'll hand it over again." Although Pei Hao's voice was soft, it undoubtedly sounded like thunder to the ears of everyone in the living room.
The cold air radiating from Jiang Qing'e seemed to freeze the air, and she said in a cold voice: "It seems that you are planning to set up your own family?"
Pei Hao smiled, and said: "I am reluctant to leave Luo Lan's mansion... But now there is no real mansion master in Luo Lan's mansion, and I don't know whose hands these donations will fall into. It’s better to wait for a truly convincing palace master to appear in the future, then it will not be too late for me to submit it.”
The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive, and the faces of the other six palace masters were also a bit ugly. If Pei Hao was really forced to do this, then the Luolan Mansion might become the laughing stock of the other four palaces.
Because Pei Hao's move was considered to be self-respecting and intended to split Luo Lan's mansion.
"Pei Hao, are you trying to bring down Luo Lan Mansion? Luo Lan Mansion is down, how much benefit do you think you can get?" A middle-aged man on the right said in a deep voice, his name is Lei Zhang , it was a pavilion master who supported Jiang Qing'e.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
Pei Hao shook his head: "I said before, I don't want Luo Lan's house to collapse."
He seemed to be silent for a few breaths, then turned his eyes to Li Luo who was silent, and said with a smile: "Actually, if I want to abide by the rules, it is not impossible to hand over the donations truthfully from now on... Of course, the premise is that, I hope the Young Palace Master can promise me a condition."
Everyone in the living room was shocked, apparently they didn't expect Pei Hao to suddenly bring up the topic of Li Luo.
Li Luo withdrew from the state of looking at the nose and the heart, stared at Pei Hao, and said curiously: "I also want to know, what conditions can Pei Hao have in charge?"
Pei Hao cast his eyes from Li Luo's body to Jiang Qing'e, looking at the latter's exquisite and cold face and slim figure, a trace of fiery greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"I hope the Young Palace Master can break off the engagement with Junior Sister."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Although Li Luo didn't get angry, his expression became expressionless, even though he had discussed with Jiang Qing'e about returning the engagement before, and even reached an agreement with her.
But... the marriage contract is between him and Jiang Qing'e, the two of them can talk and do whatever they want...
And what is this Pei Hao
"boom!"
Just as the coldness in Li Luo's heart was surging, suddenly a strong energy fluctuation erupted directly in the living room.
That energy was as bright as light, and the light swept across, covering all the light in the living room.
Then, Li Luo vaguely saw the figure of Jiang Qing'e who was sitting on the side shooting out like a fright.
Pointing at Pei Hao's location.
The sudden attack also made Pei Hao's eyes freeze, and the next moment, a sharp golden light erupted in his body.
The sword-shaped earring hanging on his right earlobe quickly fell off, and when it rose against the wind, it turned into a golden long sword.
Above the long sword, sharp golden lights surged with each other, faltering, like countless golden rainbows.
clang!
The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and a violent energy shock wave erupted, immediately shaking all the tables and chairs in the living room to pieces.
The nine pavilion masters rushed to dissolve the aftermath of the energy, and then looked intently at the field.
There, there were two figures facing each other, their swords facing each other, it was Jiang Qing'e and Pei Hao.
Jiang Qing'e was holding an epee, and a bright light flowed from the blade of the sword. The light was so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes just to look at it.
And that pure holy, scorching feeling also surprised them.
What a domineering power of light!
Opposite Jiang Qing'e, Pei Hao was holding a golden long sword, and the golden force gushing out of his body was extremely sharp and fierce.
That's the power of gold.
The two swords collided and opposed each other, causing the floor to gradually crack.
Pei Hao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Ninth Grade Light Appearance, it really deserves its reputation. The little junior sister is obviously only the early stage of the Earth Demon General, but the power of this force is not inferior to my late Earth Demon General. .”
"Your golden appearance should have been promoted to the seventh rank, right? It seems that in the past, you have often embezzled the offerings from Luo Lan's mansion." Jiang Qing'e said coldly.
In the past, Pei Hao's metal appearance was at the sixth rank, but in this fight, Jiang Qing'e also noticed that the strength of the other party's metal appearance has become stronger, and the sixth-rank golden appearance wants to be promoted to the seventh rank. Shui Qiguang is not a small number.
Pei Hao was noncommittal, and at the next moment, almost simultaneously, he and Jiang Qing'e suddenly broke out the internal force, and the tip of the sword slammed hard.
clang!
The sound of Jin Tie was surrounded by an energy shock, and the figures of both of them took a few steps back.
"Pei Hao, you are presumptuous!" At this moment, Lei Zhang and the other pavilion masters also appeared behind Jiang Qing'e immediately, shouting with ashen complexions.
However, there were also three pavilion masters who appeared behind Pei Hao, showing vigilance on their faces.
Outside the living room, the movement here also caused some chaos in the old house. Two waves of people rushed out from everywhere like a tide, and then confronted each other.
"Junior Sister, are you planning to let the entire Great Xia Kingdom know about the civil strife in Luo Lan Mansion?" Pei Hao smiled lightly.
Jiang Qing'e's face was cold, and murderous intent flowed in her beautiful eyes: "Pei Hao, if you don't want to die, you'd better swallow those words in your stomach. You don't have the right to intervene in our affairs."
Pei Hao was silent for a few breaths, then frowned and said, "Little Junior Sister, why are you doing this? That marriage contract is probably a burden for you, right? I know you are grateful to Master and Mistress, but there is no need to commit yourself to Li Luo, he... really doesn't deserve it."
"A wolf-hearted person certainly doesn't know what gratitude is." Jiang Qing'e said flatly.
Pei Hao shook his head, then turned his gaze to Li Luo, and said, "Li Luo, you are actually quite smart, so I think you should know what is the crime of being pregnant. This kind of heaven's favored son is even more untouchable to you."
"Believe me, if you want to imprison the little junior sister with her gratitude to the master and wife, it will only bring you a disaster in the end."
Li Luo said calmly: "According to what you mean, I have to give up on Luo Lan Mansion and Sister Qing'e?"
"If you're smart enough, you should be like this." Pei Hao nodded, and said with some compassion: "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't have the ability, then you have to curb your greed, so that you may still be a wealthy idler."
Li Luo smiled and said, "Pei Hao, are you really not worried that my parents will come back suddenly one day?"
Pei Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and the expressions of the three pavilion masters behind him also changed a little.
In the end, Pei Hao shook his head lightly, and said, "Li Luo, don't hold on to such sad and childish expectations. Judging from the news I got, Master and Mistress may not be able to come back."
He looked at Li Luo and sighed sympathetically.
"So... your biggest backer is gone."
"What's the difference between you now and me back then? No...you now may not be as good as me at that time..."
"After all, although I had no background at that time, and I was at the end of the road, at least I still had some potential."
"And you... have nothing left."
