Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Pei Yan's eyes. He slowly stood up, straightened his cuffs, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Important matters to discuss? Heh, it seems someone can't wait any longer."

Pei Zhong lowered his head, not daring to reply.

He knew that the rift between Pei Yan and the clan patriarch Pei Shenqi was no secret.

Pei Shenqi had always disapproved of Pei Yan's behavior, believing him to be too flamboyant and disregarding family rules. Pei Yan, on the other hand, scoffed at Pei Shenqi's conservatism and pedantry. The conflict between the two had long since become irreconcilable.

And now Pei Yan is...

"Let's go," Pei Yan said calmly, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority. "I want to see what tricks they're up to."

Pei Zhong quickly stepped aside and followed behind Pei Yan, walking silently towards the black car parked outside the door.

The car slowly drove towards the Pei family's old residence, and in the night, the outline of the old residence gradually became clear.

It was an ancient and solemn building, like a sleeping giant, quietly perched in a corner of the city.

Pei Yan stared coldly at the familiar building through the car window, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

The car stopped in front of the gate, and Pei Yan got out and walked straight to the main hall.

Several elders of the Pei family were already waiting at the entrance. When they saw Pei Yan, their expressions varied. Some were gloating, while others looked solemn.

Pei Yan ignored him and strode into the main hall.

The hall was brightly lit. Pei Shenqi sat upright in the main seat, holding an ornate cane, his expression solemn. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Pei Yan, as if trying to see right through him.

"Pei Yan, do you know your crime?" Pei Shenqi's voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.

Pei Yan stood in the center of the hall, his expression indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the scene before him. He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Know your crime? I wonder which crime the Grand Clan Chief is referring to?"

Pei Shenqi's face instantly darkened, and he slammed his cane heavily on the ground, making a dull thud: "Insolence! The evidence is now conclusive. You sent someone to kill Miss Lin Ting of the Lin family. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to the Pei family?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan sneered: "Trouble? Clan leader, are you getting old and your courage has waned? Since when has the Pei family needed to act according to others' wishes?"

"They're just the Lin family; they don't even dare to cause trouble for our Pei family."

"You!" Pei Shenqi's face turned ashen from his words. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Pei Yan's nose, and shouted angrily.

"You arrogant and rebellious son! What do you think the rules of the Pei family mean to you? Do you think you can do whatever you want with your little bit of cleverness?"

Pei Yan's gaze suddenly turned cold. He stared directly at Pei Shenqi, his tone icy: "Rules? Clan Chief, the rules you speak of are nothing but shackles that bind the Pei family's development. Times are changing. If the Pei family clings to outdated rules, it will be eliminated sooner or later."

"Insolence!" Pei Shenqi roared in fury, slamming his cane onto the ground. "Guards! Seize this rebellious son!"

Before he finished speaking, several guards dressed in black rushed out from both sides and approached Pei Yan. However, Pei Yan stood still, motionless, with that mocking smile still on his lips.

"Great Clan Chief, are you sure you want to do this?" His voice was deep and cold, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

Pei Shenqi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Take him down!"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately stepped forward, attempting to seize Pei Yan. However, just as they were about to touch Pei Yan, a dark figure suddenly flashed in from outside the door, blocking Pei Yan's path.

"Who dares to touch the young master!" The person who came was Pei Yan's personal bodyguard, Pei Feng.

His gaze was sharp as he coldly surveyed the guards around him, a gleaming short knife clutched in his hand.

The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly; everyone held their breath, afraid to make a move.

Pei Yan chuckled lightly, slowly walked up to Pei Shenqi, his gaze icy: "Clan Chief, you're getting old, it's time for you to step down."

Pei Shenqi's face turned deathly pale instantly. He stared intently at Pei Yan, his eyes filled with anger and resentment: "You...you dare!"

Pei Yan stood before Pei Shenqi, looking down at the once arrogant patriarch. His gaze was icy, and his tone carried an undeniable resolve: "Patriarch, the Pei family needs a new leader, and you... are no longer suitable to sit in this position."

Pei Shenqi's face turned from white to green, his fingers gripping the armrests of the chair so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

His voice trembled, yet he still managed to maintain his last shred of authority: "Pei Yan! Are you trying to rebel? How dare you trample on the rules of the Pei family like this!"

"Rules?" Pei Yan's voice was low and cold. "Clan leader, the rules you speak of are nothing more than tools you use to maintain your power."

The Pei family's standing in the outside world has been declining over the years, yet you still cling to old ways and fail to make any progress.

Such rules are better off without.

Pei Shenqi trembled with rage. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Pei Yan's nose, and shouted, "You...you unfilial son! How can the Pei family's centuries-old foundation be ruined in your hands!"

Pei Yan remained unmoved, instead taking a step forward and staring intently at Pei Shenqi: "Destroyed in my hands? No, Clan Chief, the Pei family will only grow stronger in my hands. And you—" He paused, his tone laced with sarcasm, "It's time to rest."

Before the words were even finished, Pei Feng, standing behind Pei Yan, stepped forward, his short sword gleaming coldly, pointing directly at Pei Shenqi. Seeing this, the guards in the hall all retreated, none daring to intervene.

Pei Shenqi's face turned ashen. He slumped back into his chair, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

He knew he was powerless to change the situation. Pei Yan's influence had already permeated every corner of the Pei family.

However, his nominal position as the clan leader had long been undermined.

“Pei Yan…you won.” Pei Shenqi’s voice was hoarse and weak, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

The hall was deathly silent, save for Pei Shenqi's heavy breathing.

Pei Yan walked to Pei Shenqi's side, looking down at him condescendingly, "Clan leader, you can rest assured and step down. I will let you know that the Pei family can only go further in my hands."

"Unfilial son...unfilial son..." he murmured softly, his eyes filled with despair.

Pei Yan did not respond, but only gave him a cold look before turning to face the people in the hall.

His gaze was like a knife, sweeping across everyone's face. His voice was deep and authoritative: "From this day forward, the Pei family will be under my control. Anyone who disagrees may step forward now."

The hall was deathly silent; no one dared to utter a sound. Pei Yan's oppressive aura was like an invisible mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

“Very good.” Pei Yan nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand. “Pei Feng, escort the clan leader back to his room to rest. From now on, no one may disturb him without my permission.”
