I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 101 Wong Tai Sin's Wong

Liu Yijia was also looking at her phone, while Pei Ju was just eating the brisket in a hot pot.

"What's wrong?" He asked, noticing Liu Yijia and her assistant looking at something.

“Look, our video has been posted online, and everyone is talking about it,” Liu Yijia said.

She had already read many comments, and her favorite were those under the tag "[So this is Pei Ju]". Seeing everyone praising Pei Ju made her feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Moreover, there is a video clip here, obviously filmed by different people and edited together. It shows her running out of the film set, all the way to the door, and then throwing herself into Pei Ju's arms. After that, it shows her being led inside by Pei Ju's hand.

In front of many witnesses, Pei Ju, alone with his sword, defeated Gu Feng, who had been famous for many years.

However, Pei Ju didn't care much about these things.

However, other voices have also emerged online.

One of the spirit catchers said, "Gu Feng has neglected his cultivation over the years and has degenerated into a show-off, which is why he was tricked by an actor and a little swordsman today."

"It's nothing but a disgusting publicity stunt. This time, however, they've gone so far as to target professionals. I hope the relevant departments will investigate and seriously rectify this unhealthy trend, so that the bad practices of the entertainment industry don't spread to the professional world."

After Liu Yijia saw this person speak out, many people forwarded it, and many people outside the entertainment industry began to speak out. Most of them were social commentators, condemning the person for stepping on people in the professional circle to get ahead.

The wind direction is a bit off.

Liu Yijia's agent also realized that someone was targeting this matter, or the people involved, and was trying to manipulate public opinion. They would definitely take further action later.

Du Pingping told Liu Yijia not to speak casually and to wait and see.

It's as if an invisible hand has reached in, trying to take advantage of the chaos, but who will be the fish?
"Who was the first person to say something like that?" Pei Ju suddenly asked Liu Yijia.

They had finished eating and arrived at Shi Nanfeng's memorial hall. The environment there was very nice and quiet, and Liu Yijia's residence was right next door.

"Let me see." Liu Yijia opened her phone and looked at it: "Huang Xiao! His certified profession here is Night Wanderer."

The Night Wanderer is a very ancient and powerful profession. After Liu Yijia finished speaking, she looked at Pei Ju with concern.

Pei Ju leaned back and said, "I think I know who it is."

"Who?" Shi Nanfeng and Liu Yijia were both very curious.

"The Huang family." Pei Ju's intuition told him so, and his intuition was rarely wrong.

"What is the Huang family?" Liu Yijia had no idea what the Huang family meant in Haishi.

Shi Nanfeng vaguely sensed something. After all, she had studied at the Rakshasa Spiritual Cultivation Academy for a year and still often returned to the academy, so she would always know some things that ordinary people did not.

"The Huang family ancestors came from beyond the Great Wall. Their original surname is no longer known, but they brought a large yellow fairy with them and adopted Huang as their surname."

"The Huang family initially did business by communicating with spirits, and gradually established themselves in Haishi. After establishing themselves, the Huang family branched out quickly. Although they are only in their fifth generation, they have already become a large family in Haishi because every daughter of the Huang family has married into a local family with status and power."

"And Huang's son naturally married the daughter of a local wealthy family, which is why the Huang family has developed so quickly."

"However, five years ago, the Huang family's newest pillar and most prominent figure actually died in the Pei family's temple. As a result, the Huang family became enemies with our Pei family."

“They don’t believe that Huang Di died of natural causes back then.” Pei Ju paused here. He actually knew a lot about many families in Haishi, because his family had some books, and his grandfather would sometimes talk about them in a vague way. For example, when he saw a person, he would point out where that person came from and tell him where the family’s roots came from.

However, Grandpa wasn't a talkative person, and he didn't say much. Perhaps that was all he knew. But he did explain the origins of the Huang family in great detail.

Because when Pei Fengde, the ancestor of the Pei family, came, it was also when the ancestor of the Huang family brought the 'Yellow Immortal'.

However, after the two families settled in Haishi, their development prospects were completely different. The Huang family expanded and merged with powerful and wealthy local families, deeply embedding themselves in the soil of Haishi, while the Pei family seemed somewhat willful.

It could be said that the Pei family was cursed; each generation produced outstanding individuals, yet none of them lived long lives. The only one who lived a long life was Pei Ju's grandfather, Pei Jieyang.

The character "接" (jie, meaning to connect or receive) in his name seems to perfectly encapsulate his role.

It serves as a bridge between the past and the future.

“The Huang family has finally lost their patience!” Pei Ju suddenly said with a smile.

Liu Yijia and Shi Nanfeng didn't know why Pei Ju was laughing.

Pei Ju didn't really want to laugh; he just felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

However, he wasn't afraid. He actually wanted to know if his grandfather had set a trap to kill Huang Di back then.

The Huang family holds grudges, and the Pei family might not be much worse.

The reason he thought this way was simply because, after thinking about his grandfather, he sorted through some of his grandfather's previous words and the notes left by his father.

Although the notes mostly contained records of cultivation in temples, Pei Ju always felt a sense of urgency, as if something was pushing him to keep taking risks.

When Grandpa recounted the fight between Dad and Huang Di, after recalling it, he noticed that Grandpa's tone and expression were different, but he didn't talk about it much or in detail.

"What is the reason for the fight?"

"In what context?"

Who was there at that event?

"How did they meet and bump into each other?"

None of this was mentioned. Pei Ju's questions, which had been building up in his mind, were not overwhelmed. Instead, he suddenly became alert because of the name that had suddenly appeared in his sight.

“It’s alright.” Pei Ju looked at them and said, “The Huang family is already very powerful in Haishi, but I’m not the same boy I was five years ago.”

"Besides, I've been feeling really depressed lately, like a dark cloud that's been hanging over the sky. Why not have a big storm to wash it all away? Don't you think so?"

Pei Ju's words left the two women unsure how to respond; in their view, remaining calm was the best outcome.

However, Pei Ju sensed that a great storm was about to break, and the feud between his Pei family and the Huang family would be part of it.

But it doesn't matter. In this life, we have to go through wind and fire, rain and rivers at least once.
