Dandy Pill God-Chapter 296: Inexplicable Nervousness and Heartache

"Hmm? Somewhat complicated? What do you mean?"

Seeing Pei Xiaotian’s reaction, Bai Tianlong was immediately taken aback.

In his impression, Pei Xiaotian was not the kind of person to be overly concerned about many issues. Generally, if someone provoked him and ignited his intent to kill, he would stop at nothing to utterly destroy that person and their background.

Yet now, looking at Pei Xiaotian’s demeanor, it seemed as if he was harboring some sort of apprehension towards Zhu Fei.

Could it be... Could it be that Zhu Fei had a terrifying background? Even with his identity as Pei Xiaotian, he dared not blatantly act against him?

"Master Bai, don’t misunderstand. The reason I spoke like that was not because I fear the strength of the Gang Force Martial Artists, but because..."

As if to dispel Bai Tianlong’s confusion, Pei Xiaotian paused slightly, then recounted the initial conflict he had with Zhu Fei and how Gu Youlan stopped it afterward to Bai Tianlong.

After hearing this, a shocked expression once again crossed Bai Tianlong’s face.

"Pei... Master Pei, are you saying that Zhu Fei has the support of the Miss of the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Youlan, behind him?"

"He isn’t supported by Gu Youlan; rather, it was her who specifically intervened to stop the conflict between Zhu Fei and me."

Seeing Bai Tianlong’s face turn from shock to a faint display of terror, Pei Xiaotian realized he had misunderstood his point, so he quickly clarified further.

"Phew!"

Bai Tianlong exhaled deeply, the panic that had surfaced slightly eased.

"Master Pei, since Gu Youlan is not the backer for Zhu Fei, then I think, when the time comes, even if we deal with him again, Gu Youlan probably won’t care, right?"

After a brief pause, Bai Tianlong continued, "Moreover, so much time has passed by now, Gu Youlan might not even remember the incident from before. In my opinion, she probably doesn’t even remember who Zhu Fei is now, right?"

However, when Pei Xiaotian heard Bai Tianlong’s words, his expression turned grave as he shook his head.

A hint of resentment flickered in his eyes, and he said with a trace of unwillingness, "Master Bai, you are unaware. You may not understand that woman, Gu Youlan, but I am very clear about her nature."

"If she made such a request to me back then, she will definitely not forget easily. After all, being hailed as the wisest woman in the Ancient Martial World isn’t just for show."

"And with her always dominant style, if my subsequent dealings with Zhu Fei go undiscovered, it may be fine, but once exposed, she will absolutely come looking for trouble."

"I don’t want to provoke such an inscrutable woman. Even if there is the slightest possibility, I do not wish to try."

"Hiss—"

Hearing Pei Xiaotian’s words, Bai Tianlong couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

He found it hard to imagine what kind of woman could make the usually haughty Pei Xiaotian so wary with just an inconsequential request.

The terrifying deterrence of Gu Youlan, as evident from the dread she inspired, was plain to see.

"Then Master Pei, what you mean is...?"

Bai Tianlong was still somewhat unwilling; he couldn’t bear to let Zhu Fei off the hook.

After all, Zhu Fei was the one who crippled his son, and if he couldn’t retaliate for that, he would never be able to vent the resentment in his heart.

"Master Bai, be patient and don’t be impulsive."

As if perceiving the reluctance in Bai Tianlong’s heart, Pei Xiaotian first offered a word of comfort, then soon followed with a sinister smile:

"Although we can’t brazenly go against Zhu Fei right now, it doesn’t mean we can’t take action against him in secret. From what I understand, the main reason your son has ended up like this is because of Shen Yuyan, isn’t it?"

"Hmm? Master Pei, are you saying...?"

"Hehe, we could do this..."

Pei Xiaotian laughed sinisterly and then repeated his plan for dealing with Zhu Fei to Bai Tianlong.

The more Bai Tianlong listened, the brighter his eyes shone, and by the end, an extremely satisfied expression had spread across his face, as if he could already see Zhu Fei’s miserable end.

...

Zhu Fei was completely unaware of Pei Xiaotian and Bai Tianlong’s coming scheme against him.

At this moment, he was sitting in Shen Yuyan’s red BMW, approaching the gate of Donglin University.

"Hmm, Sister Shen, it’s almost fine to park here. You should go to your company and get busy. I believe you’ve got quite a lot to do recently."

For some reason, Zhu Fei suddenly didn’t want Shen Yuyan to know about his impending meeting with Gu Youlan.

So, as they were about to approach the gate of Donglin University, Zhu Fei said this on a whim.

"Hehe, no worries, even if I have to be busy, it won’t make a difference to spare a little time."

Faced with Zhu Fei’s sudden suggestion, Shen Yuyan simply smiled and shook her head.

Seeing this, Zhu Fei could only give a wry smile and let Shen Yuyan continue to drive him to the entrance of East University.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

After about five more minutes passed, Shen Yuyan’s red BMW finally stopped at the gate of Donglin University.

As the car door opened, Shen Yuyan and Zhu Fei exited the red BMW together.

At the same time, not far away, the door of a Range Rover also opened.

Dressed in a black Chanel suit and wearing silver-grey high heels, Gu Youlan, whose looks and figure were near perfection, walked toward Zhu Fei with an elegant and composed smile on her face. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Swoosh!

Just as Shen Yuyan, beside Zhu Fei, caught sight of Gu Youlan’s otherworldly beauty and her noble and dignified aura, even with her discerning gaze, she couldn’t help but be dazzled.

However, in the next moment, when Shen Yuyan suddenly realized that Gu Youlan was walking in their direction, her pretty face changed drastically.

"Zhu... Zhu Fei, is she coming to see you? The business you mentioned earlier, was it to meet her?"

For no apparent reason, as Shen Yuyan’s heart confirmed her own speculation, a wave of nervousness unexpectedly gripped her, and within that anxiety, there was a pang of heartache that she had not even noticed herself.

"Hmm, Sister Shen, what’s wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zhu Fei hadn’t noticed any anomaly in Shen Yuyan and looked at her with slight suspicion, not understanding why she would suddenly ask him such a question.

"No... Nothing, hehe, I was just asking casually."

Shen Yuyan’s smile was somewhat stiff and unnatural, which finally made Zhu Fei sense that something was off.

However, just when he wanted to ask Shen Yuyan what exactly was going on, Gu Youlan’s figure had already approached him and Shen Yuyan.
