Chapter 56 – Impact

Pei Man nodded in affirmation.

At this moment, Zhou Zi Jin shuffled in, frowning as he said displeasedly. “What more is there to say about such mundane matters? Stop avoiding me, I came to talk to you about your last discourse1 regarding the – why did you choose and not ? Your Second Senior Brother has always promoted the and firmly rejected . I saw your second senior brother sitting down there, his expression wasn’t good. You can be sitting in the front seats before the emperor, but it was him who helped you fight for that seat. You returned to the countryside to be your family’s patriarch, but your second senior brother did not even ask me to send a greeting to you. Both you and your second senior brother also did not correspond as often as before. Tell me the truth, are you and your second brother at odds with one another? Do you still want your second senior brother to help you in the future? Among your senior brothers, your second senior brother is the one with the best influence, don’t do anything foolish!”

As Pei Yan listened, his mood worsened. He stood up with a gloomy face. “Didn’t you say you wanted to visit to Qingshan Lake? Do you still want to go?”

“This blasted temper of yours!” Zhou Zi Jin said hotly, “I’m having a serious conversation with you, don’t you prevaricate! If you don’t give me a clear answer by today, I’m not going anywhere.”

“It’s good that you aren’t going.” Pei Yan replied unconcernedly, “I am tired of running around with you these days, so you don’t want to go, I’ll just rest for a few days.” After saying that, he got up and left.

Zhou Zijin was stunned, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and ran out after him, shouting behind, “What do you mean? If it wasn’t for your second brother inviting me, I wouldn’t have came over either.”

Without turning his head to look back, Pei Yan responded, “You can go find my second brother then. Everyday he is in his residence acting out his pretenses, so you can join him as his companion.”
