I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"It's not fair to compare; I'm a bit older than him."

As soon as he said that, no one present was a fool; they all understood what he meant.

This implies that one is better than the other, but humbly uses the fact that one is older as a reason.

"Wow~" The group of people all looked at him with admiration.

Pei Youguang, standing next to him, hesitated for a moment with his plump face, and stammered, "Uh, well... I know him."

"Ok?"

All eyes turned to Pei Youguang.

Pei Ershao, who had been intentionally or unintentionally ignored all along, suddenly became a little uneasy when he received so much attention.

"Oh? Young Master Pei knows him?"

Ye Chenglin's gaze was strange.

“Yes, he’s a senior from the same school as me.” Pei Youguang said, reaching out to touch his nose, which had almost recovered but was still aching slightly.

He even got a beating from him a while ago... he added in his mind.

"Young Master Pei... could you introduce us to him?" A girl in a sexy off-shoulder dress asked Pei Youguang with bright eyes.

The European Cup, with its deep cleavage, left Pei Youguang momentarily stunned.

This was the first time a girl had spoken to him and called him Second Young Master Pei since he joined this small group with Pei Tiancheng.

"Young Master Pei, please, please."

"Could you please introduce us to someone?"

The other wealthy young women also chimed in, and for a moment, Pei Youguang had the illusion that he was actually quite popular.

Introducing them to Brother Jing... shouldn't be a problem, right?

Aside from being a little worried about whether his body could handle it...

Just as Pei Youguang was already in a daze, Pei Tiancheng glanced at him.

"bright."

Pei Youguang immediately regained his composure and hurriedly said, "Big Brother!"

Pei Tiancheng smiled and said gently, "I'd also like to get to know this kind of young hero..."

"sorry to bother you."

Pei Youguang dared not refute, and bowed his head, saying, "Yes..."

……

After striking up a fight with the man named Li Zhaoquan, Xue Jing felt a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

He wandered around the lobby for a while and saw a long table full of buffet food. He went over to it, wanting to get something to eat.

Xue Jing picked up a plate from the tableware stand next to the table and looked at the dazzling array of dishes, feeling a little conflicted.

"Brother Jing, Brother Jing!"

A voice called out from the side. Xue Jing turned his head and saw a well-to-do young man dressed in a black suit, looking quite respectable.

It was Pei Youguang?

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said, "There is light. What are you doing here?"

Pei Youguang chuckled, adjusted his collar, and said, "I came here for the banquet, but I didn't expect to see you here, Brother Jing."

"Brother Jing, I saw you 'partnering' with that big guy just now, that was really impressive."

He gave a thumbs up.

Xue Jing picked up a meatball from the buffet table and said, "Oh? You noticed?"

Pei Youguang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "I didn't realize... Actually, my older brother told me. He said you won."

The two chatted for a while longer before Pei Youguang paused for a moment and said:

"Brother Jing, my older brother wants to meet you..."

Xue Jing seemed not to hear, reached out and used his fork to pick up a fried meatball from the plate, put it in his mouth, took a bite, chewed for a while, and swallowed.

Pei Youguang quickly added, "He said you're a young prodigy and admires you a lot. He just wants to get to know you, Brother Jing. My older brother is amazing; he's a genius who got into Inner Ring University through the 'martial arts exam'..."

"There are many people over there who all want to be your friend. They are all young masters and ladies from the upper echelons of Qingcheng..."

Seeing that he seemed a little anxious, Xue Jing put down the plate, took a tissue from the table, and slowly wiped his fingers.

Then he smiled and said, "Youguang, you may have misunderstood something."

He placed his hand on Pei Youguang's shoulder, the smile on his lips carrying a hint of coldness.

"Whether it's your brother, the various second-generation rich kids in your circle, or the ordinary people working at the convenience store on the street."

"Want to get to know me and become friends? That's no problem at all. I'd love to."

"But if they really want to be my friend, then let them come to me."

"If you want something, you should go for it yourself instead of waiting for someone to deliver it to you."

After a pause, Xue Jing said softly, "They want to get to know me, not the other way around. Don't get me wrong."

After saying that, he patted Pei Youguang on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Pei Youguang stood there, stunned for a long while, before suddenly feeling a pang of panic.

Oh no, he messed up.

Pei Youguang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He could sense that, just a moment ago, his relationship with Jing-ge had cooled considerably.

He then realized that his method of 'introduction' was somewhat humiliating to Xue Jing.

She wanted to get to know him, but instead of coming to him on her own initiative, she had someone else come and call him over...

This domineering manner is undoubtedly condescending.

It was as if Xue Jing was honored to know them, with an air of taking it all for granted.

They probably didn't even realize it themselves.

Pei Youguang gazed at Xue Jing's straight, broad back, as firm as a pine tree, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

Oh no, he messed up...

……

Please vote for me!

Chapter 64 The Invisible Monster

Pei Youguang returned to his small group, dejected and distraught.

Seeing his appearance, Pei Tiancheng frowned.

"Youguang, where's your senior? Why didn't he come with you?"

Others also looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Pei Youguang hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping himself, and after a moment's thought, he scratched his head.

"Haha, we were having so much fun chatting that I forgot to tell my senior about this." He gave an embarrassed, silly laugh on his plump face.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed dissatisfaction and surprise.

"Young Master Pei, how could you forget something like this?" a girl said with dissatisfaction.

Pei Youguang chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry..."

Pei Tiancheng seemed to be thinking about something. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said lightly, "I see... then let's leave it at that. He still has duties to perform, and it's not good to disturb him."

He seemed to hold a high position in the circle. After he said those words, although others still had many opinions, they did not say anything more.

However, she was becoming increasingly repulsed by Pei Youguang, who was already unable to fit into the circle.

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat silent, Ye Chenglin clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said with a smile:

"Alright, we still have something to do tonight. Later, when it gets a little late, let's go explore the suite where the dead person is. Maybe we'll find something exciting!"

……

the other side.

Zhao Dequan, the driver who brought Xue Jing to Ruizhu Hotel, was pushing a trolley towards the elevator with both hands. On the trolley was a large cream cake with seven or eight layers.

As the hotel manager, he shouldn't have needed to do this job personally, but the guests in the banquet hall on the 22nd floor were not ordinary guests.

To prevent his employees from making mistakes and also to cultivate a relationship with these wealthy second-generation heirs, he decided to deliver the cake himself.

"Ding--"

The elevator doors opened, and Zhao Dequan carefully pushed the cake inside.

"Ok?"

After entering the elevator, Zhao Dequan glanced at the person next to him with some confusion.

He was a tall man dressed in a black tracksuit, wearing a black baseball cap, large sunglasses that completely covered his eyes, and his lower half of his face was covered by a mask. Even his hands were covered by construction gloves.

The man was also holding a cart, on which was a rectangular object completely sealed with black tape, making it impossible to tell what it was.

"Uh... hello." Zhao Dequan greeted the other person subconsciously.

Because of the death yesterday, most of the guests at Ruizhu Hotel have checked out, and today, apart from the banquet hall on the 22nd floor, the entire hotel is almost deserted.

He really didn't expect to run into... a customer in the elevator?

Zhao Dequan felt a vague unease.

This outfit doesn't seem quite right. He knows all the hotel staff; it shouldn't be someone he knows...

However, having reached middle age, the shrewd Zhao Dequan understood the principle that it's better to avoid trouble.
