God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"The wine is good."

The mysterious young man happily drank the fine wine brought by Pei Daoye.

"Did you brew it yourself?"

"A good friend gave it to me."

"Very good."

The mysterious young man began to drink happily again.

Pei Daoye looked at his ordinary-looking face curiously...but the upper half of his face was still blocked by the mask made of black iron.

But Pei Daoye still felt that the face he saw at this moment was actually fake.

This is a very mysterious feeling.

Perhaps it was because he practiced Qigong.

"It tastes good, right? If it tastes good, drink more."

Pei Daoye spoke amiably, without any trace of the ferocity he had yesterday. He was now as easy-going as a neighbor's boy visiting.

Seeing him pour the wine, the mysterious young man chuckled and said, "So you came here to find the master of the Twelve Palaces?"

"Yeah." Pei Daoye also took a sip.

"Why are you looking for him? Aren't you afraid that he will get angry and mess with you because of what happened last night?"

"What happened last night was a misunderstanding. It was mainly caused by a villain..."

The mysterious young man raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Do you know there is a villain?"

"Guessed it. It's obvious."

Pei Daoye looked like he shared a common hatred for the enemy: "These villains are too much. They have to stir up trouble."

The mysterious young man just smiled.

"What do you want to do with the Lord of the Twelve Palaces?"

When Pei Daoye saw him speaking, he came over and said in a very familiar manner: "Isn't it that I don't know the Twelve Palaces through fighting? Yesterday's facts were really painful. I only regret that my strength is too weak. Otherwise, we, the Seventeenth Palace and the Twelve Palaces, will join forces to teach those bastards a lesson!"

The mysterious young man looked over with interest when he heard this: "You want the vote from our Twelve Palaces?"

Pei Daoye was not flustered after being pointed out directly. He smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you, brother. To be honest, I haven't met many people in Wanxiang Palace, but the heroes of the Twelve Palaces have really left the deepest impression on me... No fight, no acquaintance. If the Twelve Palace gives me a vote, we in the Seventeenth Palace can also give the Twelve Palace a vote. It's mutually beneficial, brother, don't you think so?"

The young man smiled.

I don't know whether it was because Pei Daoye called me "brother".

Still laughing at the blunt words he said.

"It's not impossible for you to have tickets to the Twelve Palaces."

Pei Daoye heard this and asked quickly: "Brother, do you have a solution?"

The young man looked at the wine in front of him, and Pei Daoye poured it skillfully, "Brother, please."

The young man smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you. I do have some influence over the Lord of the Twelve Palaces. In previous years, the quota was given to the Eleventh Palace. If I give you their ticket, they will definitely not be happy. So I will contact the people from the Eleventh Palace. As long as you defeat the newcomer, the ticket will be given to you."

Pei Daoye said nothing, but just sat up straight.

The young man seemed to see through his thoughts: "Why, are you afraid that I will cheat you? You should know that we, the Twelfth Palace, and your Seventeenth Palace have not had much contact before. Even if I admire you, I still have to give an explanation to the Eleventh Palace."

Pei Daoye also laughed: "I'm not saying that friendship is built on getting along. I dared to say that I would give you the tickets to the Seventeenth Palace without any conditions, but you still blocked me. This is a bit unreasonable."

The young man was silent, and sighed softly, "So, we are indeed not authentic. But you, the Seventeenth Palace, can also arrange people, so that it will not be difficult for everyone to do it."

Pei Daoye knew that he couldn't escape this battle, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you, brother."

Then he put away the bottle.

The young man burst out laughing.

This brat is really realistic.

However, he did appreciate Pei Daoye's style of doing things, otherwise he would not have wasted time chatting with him.

He finished the wine in the cup, then put it away and let out a long breath: "If you were one of our Twelve Palaces, would you need to go through so much trouble? Our Palace Master can get you five votes with just one word."

Pei Daoye couldn't tell whether he was pretending or not, but the look in his eyes seemed to be suspecting that he was pretending, which made the young man feel like he was punching cotton.

He took out the sound transmission talisman, said a few words, and then said to Pei Daoye: "The one sent by the Eleventh Palace is Xixia from their palace. Have you heard of it?"

Pei Daoye shook his head.

In fact, he secretly collected intelligence about Wanxiang Palace and had some knowledge of some powerful killers, but it was limited to paper intelligence.

Moreover, the information released by Wanxiang Palace itself is true and false.

Who would reveal the trump card of their own killer?

Just like Pei Daoye, he hasn't revealed many of his cards yet.

Now the assassins in the hall only know that he is good at swordsmanship and has a strong physique.

However, neither the "Black Dragon Secret Book" nor the "Nine-Level Solution to Formation Defense" were incredibly powerful secret techniques and had yet to be discovered by anyone.

This is also why he would create various explosions every time he fought... in order to prevent outsiders from spying.

"Xixia once created a record of assassinating a seventh-level foundation-building master by himself. Of course, assassination is not the same as direct confrontation, but this person has a deep understanding of formations... The one from the Eleventh Palace said that if you can defeat Xixia, he will give you his vote as well."

Pei Daoye was slightly surprised.

The young man said proudly: "I told you, our Twelve Palaces still have some respect."

"Thanks, bro. By the way, bro, what's your name?"

"White water."

"White Sleep? What a great name!"

"...Let's go. Xixia will come directly to our martial arts hall later. I'll take you there."

The young man waved and took him over.

Pei Daoye followed behind.

However, when he reached the entrance of the hall, the young man's sound transmission note vibrated.

"Brother, I have something urgent to do, so I can't accompany you. The hall in front is the martial arts hall. You can go in directly with this token. When the game is over, just return it to the old man who sweeps the floor. I have already greeted him."

Pei Daoye took the token and watched the other party disappear into a stream of light.

He had some guesses about the young man's identity.

However, the other party had no ill will towards him, so he naturally did not show too much curiosity.

Although the mysterious boss did not accompany him, he did not act timidly.

He strode into the martial arts hall with the token.

The intense game was still going on. No one noticed Pei Daoye's arrival and they were talking about something.

Compared with the Seventeen Palaces, there are many more contestants in the Twelve Palaces.

The enthusiasm for participating in this competition is obviously much higher than that of the Seventeenth Palace.

Pei Daozhi sighed.

The foundation of the Seventeenth Palace is indeed too weak.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Seventeenth Palace had suffered an attack from the Xuanshan Gate.

It is said that the previous master of the Seventeenth Palace was killed by the Jindan Elder of Xuanshan Sect himself.

But the more this happened, the more relaxed Pei Daoye felt.

Without so many so-called seniors blocking his way, he can naturally gain power faster. With Leng Huang, his "own man", he can also collude with others more easily... bah, "line his own pockets"!
Still not right.

……

"How did you come?"

Archie's voice suddenly came.

In fact, he had been there for a long time and hesitated for a long time before speaking to Pei Daoye.

Pei Daoye looked over and no longer had the attitude of keeping strangers away from him that he had last night: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Archie looked at him with a very strange look as he spoke.

"What's wrong?" Pei Daoye noticed this very keenly.

"It's okay. I just envy you." Archie said in a faint tone.

Pei Daoye was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, shook his head and smiled: "Relax, maybe it will be your turn next time."

Archie shook his head and didn't believe such words.

At least in all the years he had practiced, he had only seen Pei Daoye create such a legend.

"You haven't gone on stage yet? Don't you want to fight?" Pei Daoye asked casually.

If I didn’t know, I would have thought that these two people were old friends who had known each other for many years.

"I won't fight."

Archie shook his head.

Pei Daoye looked over.

Archie wasn't too interested in these: "I'm a killer, I prefer to hide in the dark and kill people."

Pei Daoye nodded in understanding: "There are always people who are carrying the burden forward..."

"..." Archie came back to his senses and said, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here?"

That's when.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, attracting the attention of everyone around the ring.

When everyone looked, they saw a figure wearing a straw raincoat and holding a bamboo stick.

His attire was really eye-catching.

He was recognized almost instantly.

"Xixia?!"

"Xixia of the Eleventh Palace!!"

"Why is he here?"

Most of the killers in the Twelve Palaces don’t know why, but some know the inside story.

For example, the little old man who was sweeping the stairs glanced at Xixia in the straw raincoat, and then inexplicably looked at the figure next to Aqi.

"This kid is making a fuss too... I'm afraid he'll be a nuisance too."

……

"Where's Jianjiu?"

As soon as Xixia opened her mouth, the people from the Twelve Palaces were stunned.

"Looking for Jian Jiu?"

"That bastard from yesterday?"

"Xixia, Jian Jiu is from the Seventeenth Palace..."

Someone tried to explain.

But soon someone saw Jian Jiu beside Aqi and cried out: "Jian Jiu?!!"

It seemed that the pain brought to everyone last night was still there, so much so that Pei Daoye and the people from the Twelve Palaces around Aqi subconsciously retreated. This scene made the old man who walked to the second floor suddenly puff his beard and glare.

"A bunch of cowards!!!"

"What did you say about me just now? Bastard?" Pei Daoye looked at the person who spoke with a playful look.

The man retreated with a pale face, at a loss.

Pei Daoye looked at him.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiu, I was just a jeer!"

He slapped himself twice.

Pei Daoye smiled and said, "I said that the brothers in the Twelve Palaces are all sensible people."

The man didn't want to stay any longer, so he left in a hurry.

But at this time, no one present paid attention to him.

Instead, he stared at Pei Daoye in surprise and doubt, not really understanding why he appeared here at this moment.

And someone was quick-witted and seemed to have guessed something, and looked at Xixia with a look of surprise and joy.

"You have also made an appointment with the people from the Eleventh Palace? Are you coming to fight in my Twelfth Palace?"

Archie felt very confused.

If he were asked to do so, he would not be able to invite the Eleventh Palace to the Seventeenth Palace to fight.

Pei Daoye just looked at him in confusion.

I really want to tell him that this is the request of the one in your family.

"I want to be the leader."

Archie was stunned by Pei Daoye’s words.

He didn't understand why such a strong person would be obsessed with power, at least he didn't like it.

Perhaps because he was wealthy and had never worried about resources, he thought Pei Daoye was of the same kind as him. At this moment, he felt that he seemed to have misjudged Pei Daoye.

He looked at Pei Daoye with complicated eyes as he walked forward.

"I am Jian Jiu."

"Are you Jian Jiu?"

Xixia suddenly shook her head, "You are very different from what I imagined."

Pei Daoye chuckled: "It's the first time we meet, so it's not too much to have a sense of boundaries, right?"

Xixia was silent.

"I thought you were as dull as Archie."

Aqi was inexplicably called out, and he tightened the sword in his hand... If he had been more outgoing, he would have shouted, "Let's fight later if you dare!"

Pei Daoye glanced at Aqi, then retracted his gaze and said casually: "Go fight outside, don't affect the brothers of the Twelve Palaces."

Xixia doesn’t care.

However, when the people from the Twelve Palaces saw this, they looked at each other in confusion.

"Why does Jian Jiu want to fight Xi Xia?"

"I don't know. But what I do know is that this must have been approved by our top management, otherwise Xixia and Jianjiu wouldn't be able to enter the martial arts hall."

Everyone reacted, stopped, and decided to go over and take a look.

"Before I came, the Palace Master said that as long as you beat me, you can get both votes."

Xixia talked a lot: "I know you are very close to Silver Wolf."

"You know him too?" Pei Daoye was surprised.

Xixia smiled.

But he was sneering.

"Of course, my brother was injured by him."

"..."

Pei Daoye was speechless. No wonder this guy exuded inexplicable hostility as soon as he arrived.

The root of the emotion lies with Silver Wolf.

"Brother, we have no grudges against each other, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you ready? If you are, let's fight!"

Young people speak in a hurry.

Pei Daoye was helpless.

If I accidentally kill this guy, can I still get the vote promised by the Eleventh Prince?

For those in a higher position, cheating is not a difficult thing.

Xixia waited for a moment and said impatiently: "I've given you time. Since you don't make a move, I'll make the first move!"

The voice just fell.

At the moment of pinching the magic formula, the electric light manifested by the emerging special power condensed into one, forming a dazzling light.

"Stab!"

The air is torn.

Immediately afterwards, there seemed to be a rumble of thunder in the air in front of him! It was as if some force was being mobilized and spreading.

suddenly.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, aiming directly at Pei Daoye.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of the explosion echoed in this world for a long time.

However, what was unexpected was that Pei Daoye was unharmed.

Xixia's eyes narrowed and he realized that he had underestimated Jian Jiu from the Seventeenth Palace.

Many people in the Twelve Palaces shook their heads with regret: "What a pity, we couldn't kill this evil!"

Just when Xixia was about to take action again, Pei Daoye's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The air surged like a tide, and the terrifying power of the waves was like a volcanic eruption.

At the same time, brilliant sword beams burst out fiercely!

"Kacha!"

That was the sound of the ground breaking, so domineering and unreasonable!
"Is this Jian Jiu's swordsmanship?"

Xixia's heart sank.

Hurry and act.

moment!

The void within a radius of dozens of meters was illuminated by the blooming rays of light, making it as bright as day!
And in such a brilliant light, his eyes suddenly widened.

"That is!!!!" (End of this chapter)
