Chang Shisan and his party quickly arrived at Ping'an Town.
The whole town was crowded with people. Pei Luo, the richest man in the north of the Yangtze River, was in the ring to choose his son-in-law, and he was competing in martial arts to recruit a bride for his beloved Pei Jingwen.
A sound of gongs and drums
The host of the arena is Pei Song, the general manager of the Pei Mansion: "Fellow heroes, I am choosing a son-in-law for this arena. Not only will the lady's dowry include ten thousand taels of silver, but she will also have three top-level martial arts books and a rare treasure orb."
"The Pei family is the Pei family, so be generous when you take action!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Everyone exclaimed, Mr. Pei's handiwork is really not small. If anyone can become the Pei family's son-in-law, the Pei family's property will not belong to him in the future.
Three martial arts books?
Chang Shisan frowned, could it be the three books lost by the Tianyun Mountain Sect!
Pei Luo actually dared to openly use it as a bargaining chip. He was really bold.
Pei Luo was originally a man in the world of martial arts, but later he became a businessman and became the richest man in the north of the Yangtze River. After all, he had been in the martial arts world and knew the rules of the martial arts world. How could he do such a ridiculous thing!
Pei Luo has been cautious and philanthropic for many years. Pei's bank has been well managed and has never done anything inappropriate. What is the purpose of the arrangement now?
Chang Shisan decided to go directly to Pei Mansion and ask Pei Luo clearly.
Chang Shisan and others had just arrived at Pei's house when Pei Jingwen ran out of the door.
Jing Wen rushed forward and threw herself into Chang Shisan's arms: "Brother Chang, you are finally here. You miss me so much."
Chang Shisan's eyes were dull, he staggered back a few steps, raised his upper arm sideways: "Pei, Miss Pei, Shaoan, hurry up!"
Shaoan looked at Chang Shisan's confused eyes and stepped forward to pull Jing Wen away: "Jingwen, don't do this, Brother Shisan will be embarrassed."
Jing Wen grabbed Chang Shisan's arm and held her in her arms: "Brother Chang, have you missed Jing Wen?"
Chang Shisan was dragged towards the mansion.
"Brother Chang, although you gave me the sweat medicine, I have already forgiven you."
"Brother Chang, why don't you speak?"
Jing Wen kept mumbling all the way, but Chang Shisan didn't respond a word.
Pei Luo went out to greet him, cupped his hands and said: "Chang Guangzhu is here in great numbers. I am sorry if I missed the greeting from afar."
Chang Shisan tried his best to break free from Jingwen's arms, raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Senior Pei, Shisan is polite."
Shaoan, Su Xueer and Lin Xun saluted: "Senior Pei."
Chang Shisan introduced: "My younger brother Tang Shaoan, Dharma Protector Su Xueer, and my disciple Lin Xun."
Pei Luo: "Please come in quickly."
Chang Shisan and Shaoan took their seats, while Lin Xun and Su Xueer stood behind Chang Shisan.
The servants are serving tea. The Pei family's financial resources are indeed very good. Even the clothes of the servants are made of fine and soft fabrics.
Chang Shisan said: "Senior left the martial arts world and built a huge family business. I admire him so much."
Pei Luo had a smile on his face: "Where is it? Chang is the leader of a young talent who is alone in the world. His future career is formidable."
Jing Wen had a silly smile on her face, her eyes never leaving Chang Shisan from beginning to end.
Jing Wen asked: "Brother Chang, tell me, why are you so powerful?"
Chang Shisan's eyes tightened: "Well, um, I'm here to ask my senior for advice on martial arts as a bargaining chip for marriage. Did my senior get it from Fei Ying?"
Pei Luo made no secret of it: "Exactly."
Chang Shisan didn't expect this level of pleasure.
Chang Shisan: "Senior, do you know that these three martial arts books belong to the Tianyun Mountain Sect?"
Pei Luo: "I don't know about that."
Chang Shisan: "I'm not afraid of seniors' jokes. My family was robbed, and my martial arts books were stolen from the headquarters by Fei Ying. So those three martial arts books originally belonged to our sect."
Pei Luo: "I really don't know about this. I just made a simple transaction with Fei Ying. I don't know where the martial arts book came from."
Shaoan said: "Senior, I wonder if you can let us bring back the martial arts book. We can pay you double the price you paid Fei Ying."
Pei Luo smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid, I can't agree."
Chang Shisan stopped rubbing his fingers.
Pei Luo then said: "I have used the martial arts book as a bargaining chip to recruit a bride. I will hand it over to you now. If I can't come up with the dowry, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?"
Shaoan moved his body and said: "But the martial arts genealogy belongs to the Tianyun Mountain Sect after all, and it is natural that the property should be returned to its original owner."
Pei Luo put away the smile on his face, put on a serious look, and said: "I bought the martial arts book a few days ago without knowing it. I paid the money and delivered the goods. It was a reasonable business. Now the owner of the martial arts book should be me
That’s right.”
Pei Luo straightened his body and looked at the expressionless Chang Shisan: "Gang Leader Chang, do you think so?"
Chang Shisan bowed slightly and paused for a moment: "Not bad."
Pei Luo said: "I know that Chang Gang leader is a righteous person and will never take it away by force, right?"
Chang Shisan remained expressionless, but Shaoan could see that Shisan was already angry at this time.
How could the Tianyun Mountain Sect use their power to rob?
What Peiro said is not unreasonable.
A legitimate transaction, as a third party, Peluo has nothing to do with offending the Tianyun Mountain Sect. Even if Peluo lies, there is no real evidence to deny the fact that Peluo has a legitimate transaction.
Chang Shisan naturally wanted to get back the martial arts book as soon as possible, but after Pei Luo's words, Chang Shisan was speechless.
Jing Wen is a kind and lovely little girl, and Pei Luo is Jing Wen's father. Chang Shisan feels that it is inappropriate to fall out with Pei Luo now.
Chang Shisan nodded slightly: "I don't want to refute what my senior said. Let's stop here today. I'll take my leave first."
"Hey! Brother Chang..." Jing Wen immediately jumped up from her chair when she saw Chang Shisan getting up.
"Leader Chang, stay here." Pei Luo stood up and walked to Chang Shisan, "Although I can't hand over the martial arts book at this time, I have a clear way. Leader Chang participated in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, so wouldn't the martial arts book be easily available?
"
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and glanced furtively at Su Xueer who was standing next to him. The two looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
If you participate in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, wouldn't it mean that you will become Pei Luo's son-in-law, which means that Jing Wen will marry the gang leader and become his wife!
Jingwen dragged her chin with her hands and smiled like a beggar who saw a pot of cooked meat.
Chang Shisan: "Participating in a martial arts competition to recruit a bride? Senior is joking."
Chang Shisan clasped his fists and walked towards the door. Shaoan and others followed.
Jing Wen wanted to follow, but Pei Luo stopped her.
Pei Luo's face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles were clearly visible.
"Yes. Wen'er, you have really good taste. Chang Shisan is a talented and handsome young man. No wonder you are so obsessed with it, Wen'er!"
Jingwen's face turned red: "Daddy!"
Pei Luo stroked his beard: "It's not in vain that Daddy planned and went through such a big deal for you."
Jing Wen asked: "Dad, will Brother Chang really participate in the competition?"
Pei Luo smiled and said: "Wen'er, don't worry. Dad is now 70% sure."
