Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 119 Goodbye
One day later, in front of Peng Jiayan's villa.

It's still the same green hills and clear waters.

This time, however, there was no one to accompany him.

Zhou You came alone this time, without any guidance. Fortunately, he still remembered the way to some extent, so after wandering around for a whole morning, he finally arrived at the place.

However, unlike last time, this time as soon as he appeared, security personnel immediately came to greet him.

"Mr. Zhou, is that right? President Peng has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."

Zhou You turned his head and saw that, without him noticing, several tall, burly men in black suits had gathered around him.

—Oh, a trap?
With his current abilities, he could easily fight his way out of these ordinary people, but he still spread his hands to indicate that he posed no threat.

But the security guard quickly noticed the Broken Blade at his waist.

"Mr. Zhou, President Peng has prohibited bringing any dangerous items to this meeting. Please cooperate and hand this over to me for safekeeping."

The words were polite, but the meaning was so forceful that it was beyond reproach.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhou You simply smiled and refused the offer.

"I'm sorry, this is something passed down from our sect, and we really can't hand it over to outsiders. Please understand."

The burly security guard frowned.

Presumably, everyone felt they had the advantage in size and numbers, so this guy unceremoniously reached out, intending to take the sword directly from Zhou You's waist—

"Mr. Zhou, please don't make things difficult for us."

But the next moment.

His hand reached for nothing.

When he looked again, the scabbard had already silently moved to his neck.

It was so fast that no one even saw how it was done.

Zhou You still had that kind and amiable face.

"This is easy to discuss—if it's difficult, then let's not do it. Since swords aren't allowed inside, shall I leave now?"

The voice was slow, as if they were chatting casually.

But cold sweat immediately streamed down the security guard's face.

Although the sword was not drawn and Zhou You did not seem to have any intention of killing, at this speed that was barely perceptible to the naked eye, if he were to actually draw his sword and try to slit his throat...

...Will he be able to react in time?
After a good ten seconds, a series of urgent calls broke the stalemate.

One of the security guards hurriedly answered the phone, bowing and scraping a few times before turning back to Zhou You with a fawning smile.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhou. We misunderstood something. President Peng just said that you can just bring this in and you don't need to go through any security checks."

Zhou You looked up at a camera hidden in the tree canopy, but didn't say much, simply putting away the Broken Evil.

However, her smile became even brighter.

After being taken to the villa, the security guards bowed and hurriedly left, making sure to close the door tightly before leaving.

At this moment, Peng Jiayan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, still wearing his high-end loungewear, holding a wine glass in his hand, just as he had been when they first met.

Upon seeing Zhou You, he smiled and said.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates are a bit too clueless. I clearly told them to treat you as a distinguished guest, but they... Oh well, I'll fire them and replace them in a few days. By the way, Mr. Zhou, please don't stand, sit down, make yourself at home, don't be shy."

Zhou You didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down casually, but before he could speak, Peng Jiayan picked up the wine bottle on the table.

But unlike last time, this time he didn't hand it to Zhou You, but poured him a cup himself.

"It's a real pity that you didn't get to try this wine last time, Mr. Zhou. Come, let me personally offer you a toast this time. I hope you won't refuse this time."

His words were extremely polite, even remarkably humble for Peng Jiayan's status—but Zhou You didn't react at all, simply maintaining his smile and raising his wine cup. His Divine Food Potion Technique circulated naturally, detecting no unusual taste in the wine, but Zhou You still shook his head and put the cup down.

Peng Jiayan's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Mr. Zhou, are you looking down on my wine?"

Zhou You gently shook his head.

“Mr. Peng, you’ve misunderstood. Everyone knows that your wines are all top-grade, and this is the second time you’ve offered me a toast. If I don’t drink, it would be too rude of me. But I have a bad habit: I’m not used to drinking such high-class wines from other people’s glasses. I have to use my own glasses.”

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Peng Jiayan became somewhat interested. "Even my family's wine glasses, worth tens of thousands, don't meet your standards, sir. I wonder what your wine sets look like?"

Zhou You smiled but remained silent, only taking out a bright green bowl-shaped container from his waist pouch.

Peng Jiayan's teasing smile instantly froze on his face.

After a long pause, he finally spoke to Zhou You.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, may I take a look at this?"

Zhou You shrugged, showing no hesitation, and simply gestured for him to proceed.

Peng Jiayan gently picked it up.

"What a wonderful piece! It's truly a wonderful piece. Such a large and fine piece of jade is rare in itself, but what's even more precious is that only the essence was extracted and carved into this item. Even with my wealth, Peng Jiayan, I've never seen many pieces of this caliber, let alone one with such a lifelike pattern inlaid inside. By the way, Mr. Zhou, what is this made of?"

"Human bones".

".What?"

"Human bones".

Zhou You answered truthfully.

Unexpectedly.

Upon hearing this answer, which would have startled most people, Peng Jiayan suddenly burst into laughter.

"No wonder, no wonder, it's truly a masterpiece. The craftsman's skill is superb. He actually used the original material to create a prototype rib inside. Mr. Zhou, I really like this thing. If you're willing to part with it, I'm willing to pay this price."

Peng Jiayan, without hesitation, uttered a staggering figure while chatting and laughing.

But Zhou You simply shook his head and refused outright.

"I'm sorry, this is also a family heirloom, and I really can't part with it."

"Really? That's a pity." Peng Jiayan sighed, but still reluctantly handed the bone jade chime back to Zhou You.

But at that moment, for some reason, he suddenly shuddered and felt a chill for no apparent reason.

Peng Jiayan tightened his clothes, then looked up at the ceiling.

—That's strange. Is the air conditioning on so high today? Why does it feel so cold?
However, these were minor matters, and he simply shook his head and brushed it off before speaking to Zhou You.

"...I also know about what happened at the construction site—Mr. Zhou, you did a really good job. It seems my 80,000 yuan wasn't wasted, but..."

Peng Jiayan stared into Zhou You's eyes and said this.

"I'm not sure if you noticed anything else while you were exorcising the ghost, Mr. Zhou?"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, he finally revealed his true purpose.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou You simply smiled and then said...

"Well, I just don't know if Mr. Peng wants me to know this."

"Or do you mean you don't know?"
