If the other party could only rely on their reputation to scare off these people, then Pei Xuanjing was even less inclined to get involved.
There are no free lunches. The favor one took today may cost hundreds of times more in the future.
So, he stepped forward, ready to settle the matter himself.
At his words, Ying Zhong's eyes shimmered with delight. He was already considering retreat, yet did not anticipate such a response from Pei Xuanjing.
He looked at Mr. Wu for advice.
Seeing Pei Xuanjing take charge, Mr. Wu understood his intentions, so he reluctantly nodded in response to Ying Zhong's questioning gaze.
"Very well!" Ying Zhong nodded, he glanced at Mr. Wu, considering to give him face, and then stated, "I will not take away all of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. If only the Qi Luck within it is handed over to me, this matter today will be settled."
"Dream on!"
"Wishful thinking!"
