Chapter 2158: The Fox Exploits The Tiger’s Might (1/2)

Many were actually impressed at Peng Weijin for coming back with capable reinforcement after being ruthlessly slapped by Yang Shengping earlier. His haughty att.i.tude was “commendable” as well  - whether it be from pride or foolishness.

He definitely had a tough heart. Anyone else would be traumatized by the slapping period and would run away from Li Qiye’s group.

“Brat, you’re done for!” Weijin was even more aggressive than before.

“Grand Tutor, that brat is the w.a.n.g’s hound, kill him.” Weijin haughtily said.

All eyes were on the young man standing next to Weijin. He wore an embroidered robe with a great aura of n.o.bility. Handsome he was but his aura was even more attractive. People couldn’t help wanting to respect him.

“The Chen Young Lord, Grand Tutor of the court, Chen Shuwei.” An elder shuddered after seeing this n.o.ble youth.

The Chen Clan was the pillar of Upper Faction. Though this faction had many powerful men, the majority came from the Chen, including multiple True Emperors!

As the current Grand Tutor of the court, Chen Shuwei had many troops under his belt. He wasn’t weaker than Silver Fox either; the two of them were at the minor True King level. Moreover, he was also a candidate to become the next emperor.

Some members of the crowd also stood up to come and greet him.

“Weijin, don’t be disrespectful.” Shuwei calmly said while Weijin was pointing and shouting at Li Qiye.

Albeit unwillingly, Weijin still stood to the side while glaring hatefully at Li Qiye’s group.

He was no longer afraid because he was confident that his backing was stronger than the w.a.n.g Clan.

“Brother Xu is also here? What a coincidence.” Shuwei saw Silver Fox and smiled.

Zhijie smiled back and said: “Indeed, but this town is quite small. Not too strange to run into each other.”

He was at a predicament due to Li Qiye’s rudeness but now, Weijin’s outburst earlier allowed him to get out of that position.

After greeting Zhijie, Shuwei turned to Li Qiye and cupped his fist: “This Little Brother is named Chen Shuwei. I have heard of your fame long ago, Brother Li. Please excuse me for not being a good host during your visit to the capital. My apology.”

The people here were stunned again at this polite comment. They couldn’t imagine it at all.

The truth was that Shuwei had the same idea as Zhijie. He also heard some news about the w.a.n.g. w.a.n.g Han had been reprimanded by the high elders and could even be forced to step down. One of the reasons was because of this fella. w.a.n.g Han wanted her clan to fully support him.

Shuwei was very curious - why did an outsider earn the queen’s trust? What kind of charisma or abilities did he have? Or did he possess some incredible secrets?

Because of this, he wanted to recruit Li Qiye, whether by force or not! After all, the queen was not a simple character. In the past, the dead emperor was a n.o.body but w.a.n.g Han still married him and helped him become an emperor.

Her intelligence and abilities were without question. There must have been reasons for why he valued this brat.

Li Qiye ignored the flowery words and continued to drink and eat his snack with Chu Sijin serving him. She poured more wine while intimately feeding him dishes.
