StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 64 [064] I will destroy the Pei family!

"Fool! We'll proceed according to the original plan. This time, I'm going to annihilate the Pei family!"

Qingyan's eyes were fierce. He had clashed with Pei Yi several times, but he had never gained the upper hand.

The subordinate accepted the order and turned to arrange for the operation to proceed according to the original plan.

Meanwhile, the Pei family's banquet was in full swing.

Everything seemed so wonderful; the guests and hosts were all enjoying themselves, chatting about all sorts of topics, with laughter filling the air.

Xia Lanling and the Holy Female seemed to be particularly affectionate, while the other beastmen, unable to get a word in edgewise, simply stayed by their side.

Pei Yi and Huo Yunting exchanged a glance, somewhat confused about the situation.

But they knew very well that the Emperor must have had a reason for doing this.

Sure enough, after the banquet began...

Old Master Pei, along with several highly respected elders from the capital, each accompanied by a handsome and powerful male, came to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Holy Consort.

Grandpa Pei, accompanied by his youngest grandson Pei Yan, felt guilty and dared not look at Pei Yi.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, good evening!"

"This old man is Pei Yi's grandfather, named Pei Jieming, and this is my other grandson, Pei Yan."

Old Master Pei introduced them with a beaming smile, while bowing slightly to the Emperor and the Holy Mother.

Then, he pointed to several imposing old men beside him and introduced them to Xia Lanling and Mu Xingyue: "These respected old men are, in order, Ye Fengyun, head of the Ye family; Yan Xun, head of the Yan family; Li Feng, head of the Li family; and Peng Feihuan, head of the Peng family."

As Old Master Pei introduced them, the four family heads all smiled and nodded to the Emperor and the Holy Mother.

Then, Old Master Pei shifted his gaze to the young men standing beside the heads of the various families and continued to introduce them: "And these young talents standing beside them are Ye Yang, the grandson of the Ye family; Yan Jue of the Yan family; Li Jincheng of the Li family; and Peng Yanyun of the Peng family."

The young males whose names were called stepped forward respectfully, bowed to the Emperor and the Holy Female, and stood obediently to the side without saying a word.

Old Master Pei suddenly felt a powerful pressure emanating from his grandson, Pei Yi.

He was startled and secretly regretted his actions. He should have known better than to help these old guys make connections, giving them the opportunity to meet the Emperor and the Holy Mother.

But now that things have developed to this point, it's too late for regrets.

The man known as the Cold-Faced Emperor, Xia Lanling, merely glanced at everyone and then nodded slightly, not even bothering to utter a single extra word.

Mu Xingyue, standing to the side, did the same, merely nodding slightly to indicate her understanding, without ever lingering her gaze on the grandsons of the family heads for even a moment.

The other beastmen found this scene very satisfying.

You see, they were extremely nervous just now, fearing that this stand-in would do something to humiliate Yue'er.

Pei Yi's eyes, which had been calm as still water, suddenly flashed with a cold light, like two extremely sharp swords, shooting straight at Old Master Pei. His face was ashen, and he said coldly, "Grandpa, the Emperor and the Holy Consort are about to have dinner. You should go about your business!"

At this moment, Pei Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a slightly mocking smile, and then he said, "Look, the Right Prime Minister has actually brought his wife and beloved daughter to the banquet. Don't you plan to go and greet them?"

He spoke casually, but the sarcasm in his voice was unmistakable. The last vestige of affection Pei Yi held for the Pei family had been eroded away by these constant power struggles and conflicts of interest.

At this moment, looking at his nominal grandfather, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

When his own grandson so ruthlessly exposed him in public, Old Master Pei's weathered face instantly turned bright red, and he was momentarily speechless with embarrassment.

However, he knew his grandson's temperament well and understood that if he angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, Old Master Pei suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, saying, "Well... alright, then we'll head over first. I hope the Emperor and the Holy Mother can enjoy this sumptuous banquet at their leisure."

In fact, all the dishes on the table tonight were carefully prepared by Pei Yi himself.

Every dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making them incredibly tempting.

Moreover, these delicacies were novel dishes that Pei Yi had specially searched for, and they were unique flavors that none of the people present had ever tasted before.

The reason he went to such lengths was simply to show off his strength and abilities in front of these old guys.

Old Master Pei had no idea that these dishes were personally decided by the Holy Mother, and even the cooking methods were taught to the beastmen by the Holy Mother, who then taught the chefs who were preparing the dishes that night, which is how such a delicious feast came about.

With a broad smile, Grandpa Pei led his group of sprightly old friends away from the spot.

They walked steadily forward, preparing to greet the high-ranking Right Chancellor and his family—his wife and daughter.

Before long, the Right Chancellor appeared before everyone with his wife and daughter.

The Right Chancellor was dressed in a magnificent custom-made suit, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, which made him appear even more imposing.

A graceful woman followed closely beside him; she must be his wife, Qu Wan'er.

Following behind the two was a graceful and charming young girl, who must be their beloved daughter, Dongfang Qingluan.

Upon approaching, the Right Chancellor bowed first and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, Holy Consort, Commander, good evening!"

Then, he straightened up, smiled, and introduced his wife and daughter to the Holy Mother: "Holy Mother, I am the Right Prime Minister Dongfang Yinxiao."

"This is my wife, Qu Wan'er, and this is my daughter, Dongfang Qingluan."

"It is truly an honor for us to behold the Holy Mother's countenance today!"

"Please, Holy Mother, take good care of my daughter in the future. My wife and I will be eternally grateful."

After saying that, he turned slightly to the side, gesturing for his daughter to take a step forward.

Dongfang Yinxiao looked at his daughter with expectant eyes and said softly, "Qingluan, why don't you come and pay your respects to the Holy Mother?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingluan moved gracefully to the Holy Mother, bowed deeply, and said in a sweet voice, "Qingluan greets the Emperor and the Holy Mother. I hope the Holy Mother will take good care of me in the future. I am extremely grateful."

At this moment, Dongfang Yinxiao's smile deepened. His actions clearly indicated that he intended for his daughter to get acquainted with the Holy Female, and his intention to befriend her was obvious.
