Chapter 924: Patriarch, I was wrong!
Pei Qingniao felt like sitting on pins and needles in the Maybach. The luxurious interior around her did not make her feel comfortable at all. It was as if this place was hell. She wanted to escape very much and did not want to stay any longer.
Pei Runnian, who was sitting next to Pei Qingniao, was resting with his eyes closed and did not notice Pei Qingniao's restless posture.
But in fact, even if Pei Runnian closed his eyes, his powerful spiritual perception still allowed him to grasp all the situations in the entire carriage.
For Pei Runnian, who has been at the peak of dark energy for more than ten years, this has almost become his instinct.
More than ten years were enough for Pei Runnian to develop all the abilities that a warrior could cultivate within the peak state of Dark Energy, and truly reach the critical point of the peak state of Dark Energy.
With just an opportunity, Pei Runnian could kick open the door that had blocked his path for more than ten years and truly advance to the Hua Jin realm.
So for Pei Runnian, even if he closed his eyes, he could still clearly "see" every move of Pei Qingniao beside him.
His powerful spiritual perception was like a radar. After scanning all of Pei Qingniao's postures inch by inch, he reconstructed an extremely clear picture in his mind, which also made Pei Runnian's mouth curl up slightly with a hint of sneer and indifference.
Just when Pei Qingniao was getting restless, Pei Runnian suddenly spoke.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Are you afraid of me?"
As soon as Pei Runnian's voice sounded, Pei Qingniao's body trembled violently. He looked just like a small beast that heard the roar of a tiger and wanted to turn around and run away.
But Pei Qingniao's will forcibly restrained her body's instincts, allowing her to barely squeeze out a sound that was uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice.
"No, Master, I just..."
Pei Qingniao just talked for a long time without making any clear statement, and Pei Runnian obviously didn't care much about Pei Qingniao's answer. He just closed his eyes and waited for Pei Qingniao's answer.
But his silence gave Pei Qingniao an even stronger sense of oppression, causing his body to tremble even more violently. He racked his brains before he could barely come up with an excuse.
"I'm just worried about the situation at Tianbo Building. Chu Longtu's men are coming with great force, and there are also many peak dark energy warriors. Pei Xingchen alone may not be able to withstand their offensive."
Pei Qingniao stammered and finally answered Pei Runnian's question.
But then Pei Qingniao wanted to slap himself, hating himself for giving such a stupid answer.
Because after hearing Pei Qingniao's answer, Pei Runnian was silent for a while, then slowly opened his calm eyes and spoke lightly without any emotion.
"So you just left him alone and ran back here by yourself?"
"Is that why you're worried about him?"
Pei Qingniao didn't expect that the boomerang of his answer would fly back so quickly and hit him hard. He was speechless immediately. Under Pei Runnian's emotionless gaze, he felt as if a Mount Tai was pressing down on him, almost suffocating him.
Pei Qingniao looked at Pei Runnian with horror in his eyes, almost scared to tears. He looked at Pei Runnian almost pleadingly, his lips moving but he said nothing.
Pei Runnian looked at Pei Qingniao expressionlessly, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was a stone man staring at Pei Qingniao indifferently.
Suddenly, Pei Runnian took action without any warning and slapped Pei Qingniao on the cheek!
"Snapped!"
The noise did not sound like the sound of a human hand hitting a person's face. It was just like a high-speed fan hitting a person's face hard, and an extremely sharp explosion was heard immediately.
Under the influence of that huge force, Pei Qingniao's neck twisted violently, making a crisp cracking sound, and his neck seemed to be stretched a lot. A mouthful of thick blood spurted out directly from his mouth, spraying heavily on the fender in front of him. The entire rear compartment was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.
Pei Qingniao immediately collapsed limply on the back seat, his whole body drooping like a chicken or duck with a broken neck, with only his chest slowly rising and falling.
This slap almost killed Pei Qingniao directly.
However, Pei Runnian remained unmoved by this palm strike that almost killed him. He still looked at Pei Qingniao with indifference. His eyes were like a high and mighty god looking at an ordinary person among the masses. He didn't care at all about Pei Qingniao's life or death.
It took Pei Qingniao a long time to recover from the powerful slap.
But even so, he still felt as if the whole world was spinning, and it was as if there was a rock party going on in his head. All kinds of sharp explosions were ringing wildly, making people dizzy and almost vomiting.
Pei Qingniao was holding on only by relying on the last bit of consciousness. If she didn't have some internal energy in her body that could circulate and slightly relieve the pain in her body, she would have fallen headfirst to the ground and died on the spot!
Pei Qingniao forced himself to endure the pain in his body, circulated his internal strength, and forced himself to slowly straighten up. He lowered his head respectfully and tremblingly, and spoke in a voice so weak that it was completely inaudible.
"Master, I was wrong."
Even though the sound was smaller than that of a mosquito, Pei Runnian's extremely powerful spiritual perception allowed him to hear it clearly, and there was absolutely no ambiguity.
After listening to Pei Qingniao's words, Pei Runnian's eyes moved, and he became a little more human from an extremely cold god. He spoke lightly.
"Oh?"
"Tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Listening to Pei Runnian's words, Pei Qingniao couldn't help but feel relieved.
Although Pei Runnian's words were still extremely cold, based on Pei Qingniao's understanding of Pei Runnian over the years, at this time, Pei Runnian still responded to him, which meant that in Pei Runnian's heart, he had not sentenced Pei Qingniao to death, so she could still be saved.
If Pei Runnian said nothing and showed no attitude at this moment, Pei Qingniao would be panicked.
That meant that Pei Runnian had completely lost all patience with Pei Qingniao, and was not going to waste time talking to Pei Qingniao, and was ready to kill him directly!
