Pei Shixian was taken aback, his heart pounding inexplicably.
He had committed his deeds in such secrecy that outsiders would never suspect that he had done them.
So what did these people from the Wei family want to do by stopping his carriage? Were they planning to blackmail him?
Pei Shixian chuckled to himself but answered politely: "How would I know about the disappearance of Master Zhou's disciple?"
Steward Feng stroked his chin. "But Master Zhou ordered that if we came across Mr. Pei, we were to invite you over for a conversation."
The color drained from Pei Shixian's face. He pondered for a moment before pulling out a silver ingot from his sleeve and thrusting it into the hands of Steward Feng. "Thank you for the reminder, Steward Feng. I shall go check up on Master Zhou right now."
Steward Feng clutched the silver ingot in his hand and chuckled without moving an inch.
