Chapter 322 It’s Not that Easy to Get a Bargain

Originally, the attic in Pei Mansion, which no one cared about, has even become a forbidden area in Pei Mansion now, and no one is allowed to enter easily.

However, no one has any opinions on this, and even when passing by the attic, their eyes are full of admiration and longing.

Because everyone knows that the prosperity of Pei Mansion today comes from the owner of this attic, Sword Saint Pei Min.

"Are you really determined to go?"

Old Zhuguo looked at Pei Xuanjing's back and asked in an inexplicable tone.

It was just like the scene more than ten years ago when Old Zhuguo asked Pei Xuanjing to participate in the Yunzhong County Competition.

Pei Xuanjing stood on the attic, with his back to Old Zhuguo, looking up at the sky in the distance, watching the clouds roll and unfold.

"Do you regret it?" Pei Xuanjing did not look back, and a faint voice came over.

Hearing this, Old Zhuguo couldn't help but tremble.

Old Zhuguo not only did not look old compared to more than ten years ago, but seemed much younger, as if these ten years had not stopped on him.

However, the old pillar of the country was not as confident as he was more than a decade ago. Instead, he looked at Pei Xuanjing's back with a complicated expression.

When he first saw Pei Min, he was impressed by his extraordinary talent. He knew that if he could be trained well, he would definitely be able to make the Pei family prosperous in the future.

And later, as he had imagined, he became a sensation and grew into the strongest man in the world in a short time, benefiting the entire Pei family. It can be said that if there was no other party, there would be no Pei family today.

But now, the other party's choice is likely to bring Pei family into the abyss, but he has no ability to stop it.

Pei Xuanjing turned around, looked at the old pillar country with a tangled face, and asked lightly: "You want me to stay and ignore this matter. After all, no matter who wins or loses, as long as I am here, the Pei family will definitely be invincible. Right?"

The old pillar country nodded silently: "Yes!"

The current struggle between the emperor and the empress dowager has reached a white-hot point. The struggle between the two groups has been put on the table, and there is almost no room for easing. After all, for both sides, no matter who wins or loses, the loser is almost certain to die and has no way to survive.

According to common sense, their Pei family has had a close relationship with the emperor for so many years. When the prince had not yet ascended the throne, the Pei family was already in his camp. It can be said that they are die-hard supporters of the emperor. If the emperor loses, then they must also bear the price together.

But is it really so?

Actually not!

The old pillar of the country saw it very clearly. Even though they were the emperor's party members and the fight between the two sides had reached a white-hot stage, the Pei family did not have only one way to follow the emperor. They had another choice.

Standing on the sidelines, turning a blind eye to the fight between the two sides this time, waiting for the outcome to be decided, and then making the right choice.

If this idea were to be replaced by an ordinary force, it would inevitably be hit by both sides at the first time and be destroyed first.

But the current Pei family is not like that. They have such an opportunity and such qualifications.

Everything is because of Pei Min's existence.

Because there is such a sword saint Pei Min who is almost the strongest in the world, no one will choose to turn against the Pei family.

Ten years ago, he could defeat the sword saint Pei Min who had half a foot in the realm of heaven and man. After ten years of hard training, no one knows what realm he has reached, but no one will think that the other party has not made any progress in the past ten years, but only think that he has become stronger.

Therefore, as long as Pei Min nodded, even if the Pei family chose to sit on the sidelines this time, no matter who won or lost, they would not pursue Pei's choice, but would try their best to win over them.

This was the most suitable choice for the Pei family in the eyes of the old pillar, so he was unwilling to let Pei Min enter the capital and get involved in this vortex, and also drag the Pei family into it.

If Pei Xuanjing entered the capital at the moment, it would inevitably cause a huge wave. Even if he did not say a word, he would be regarded as the emperor's faction and usher in the attack from the empress dowager's side.

And as the Pei family behind him, they would inevitably be dragged into it and passively participate in this fight. If he succeeded this time, it would be fine. If he failed, the Pei family would inevitably be destroyed.

"Haha." Pei Xuanjing sneered and said disdainfully: "This is what I hate most about aristocratic families, and what I look down on the most about aristocratic families. They will always only consider their own interests. Admittedly, this may be the most appropriate choice, but it is also the most disgusting choice for me."

The reason why Pei Xuanjing has no feelings for this Pei family, in addition to his own, is that when there is profit to be made, they will flock to it. When there is no profit, they will give it up without hesitation. This is the aristocratic family, in which there is no emotion and morality.

Oh, maybe? But compared with the interests, it is not worth mentioning.

At the beginning, for the benefit of the family, they spent all their experience to win over the prince, but today the situation is reversed, and they can decisively abandon the prince for the sake of interests.

This is a point that Pei Xuanjing hates very much.

The old pillar of the country changed his face slightly. He didn't expect that the family would be like this in Pei Xuanjing's eyes. He was about to speak immediately, but was blocked by Pei Xuanjing's words, and his face changed drastically.

"You might say that my family has given me a lot of training." Pei Xuanjing sneered and asked, "But this is based on your discovery of my talent for cultivation. If I don't have talent, will it still be the same? Hmm?"

He clearly remembered that there were many people of the same age as him in the Pei Mansion, but what was the situation of those who did not have the talent for cultivation.

Perhaps there would not be any evil servants bullying their masters, but the big figures of these families watched coldly and did not care at all. How could they treat Pei Xuanjing like this?

The old pillar country remained silent.

As Pei Min said, if Pei Min did not have extraordinary talent, he would only ensure that he had food and clothing after bringing him back, and would definitely not treat him as he did before.

This is the rule of the family, and he cannot change it.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the other party and sneered: "As for the training at the beginning, because of my existence in the past ten years, the benefits that the Pei family has obtained should be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold!"

Swish!

The old pillar country was pale with this sentence, and he had nothing to say.

"It's not that easy to take advantage of me." Pei Xuanjing turned around and said lightly: "Since you have already enjoyed the benefits of my existence, then after I make a choice, if you are implicated, it is also natural."

Thanks to the book friends Wulingkenshu and Taixiao Daojun for the reward.
