"By the way, when do you need it?"
While Yu Peng was digesting the spiritual energy, he asked Yang Yanbin
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry, just get it out within a year."
Yang Yanbin responded to Yu Peng's words, but suddenly thought of something, and then asked
"Your body won't be able to withstand that time, right?"
Yu Peng gave him a look.
"I can definitely hold on. Just let me get through this period. I just lost too much spiritual energy."
"Well... Well, after today's business is over, you can go to my house. I have a lot of pills at my house that I can give you. Although taking a lot of pills like this will have some side effects, it will definitely save you. urgent"
If it were normal times, Yu Peng would definitely refuse. No matter how good the relationship is, one should keep a proper distance. But for Yang Yanbin, whom he met for the first time, Yu Peng's trust came out of nowhere without even thinking about it. , just say it directly
"Okay, okay, it's convenient for me."
"Okay, but you have to follow me to meet two elders later. After saying hello to them, we will leave. This place is so smoky that I don't want to stay any longer."
After Yu Peng rested for a while, Yang Yanbin took Yu Peng to find Mr. Fan Zhihong who was waiting outside, and under his guidance, they went to the reception room where the real VIPs were received.
Mr. Li and Mr. Liu were still sitting on the two chairs, accompanied by Mr. Zhu and Li Zhi.
After Yang Yanbin left the room, he immediately regained his composure and aloof demeanor. After entering the room, he just nodded and signaled to Mr. Li and Mr. Liu, and then sat back in the chair he had just sat in.
As if he just went out for a convenience, after sitting down, he picked up the tea bowl next to him and sipped the tea in small sips.
After Yu Peng entered the door, he saw two old people sitting and two other old people laughing beside them. He felt that the scene was a bit funny, but he didn't have any reaction. When he saw that there were two empty chairs opposite, he looked for them. I got a chair near the back and sat down directly.
Before sitting down, he waved his hand towards the chair as if waving away dust.
Seeing Yu Peng just sitting there, Mr. Li and Mr. Liu frowned at the same time, but said nothing.
The atmosphere solidified
Li Zhi, Fan Zhihong and Zhu Juan were standing. Although they were the owners and half-owners of this villa, no one dared to speak.
Among the three people sitting on the chairs across from each other, Mr. Li closed his eyes to rest, Mr. Liu kept looking at Yu Peng with great interest, and Yang Yanbin kept sipping tea with an attitude of don't bother me.
After a while, when the three owners of this villa were about to clasp their fingers in embarrassment, Mr. Li opened his eyes, turned his head to Mr. Liu, and said casually.
"After all, times have changed. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last. It seems that it won't be long before we are really going to be submerged in the long river of history."
Hearing such words, except for Yang Yanbin and Yu Peng, the hairs of several other people in the room stood up, and they were all speculating on what Mr. Li meant by these words.
Mr. Liu held it in for a long time and didn't dare to reply.
They are all old people in their eighties or nineties, but the older they get, the more they have to be cautious in their words and deeds. After all, every word they say has to be speculated and analyzed hundreds of times by others to think about what they mean.
With their seemingly casual words, it’s fine if they understand it, but if they don’t understand it, it’s easy for the people below to misunderstand them, and then they think they understand it and do many outrageous things.
Just like now, what does Mr. Li mean by praising Yu Peng for being courageous and courageous? Is it a form of appreciation?
Or is it that Yu Peng doesn’t know how high the sky is and how high he is, and he has no respect for his elders?
Mr. Liu did not dare to make random guesses. Although he could occasionally joke with Mr. Li, most of the time, he was afraid to talk to Mr. Li. He had suffered a lot at his hands in the past.
As for the three old people Li Zhi, Fan Zhihong, and Zhu Juan, they even dare not guess. At this time, keeping silent is the wisest choice.
This villa belongs to Li Zhi. Because Fan Zhihong and Zhu Juan have a close relationship with Li Zhi, they often come in and out of this villa and even have their own rooms, so they can be considered half owners of this villa.
In Beijing, in this villa area, being able to own one or several villas is not just a matter of having money.
It also requires a lot of background relationships and a complicated review process.
It is said that there is a Tomson Yipin in Shanghai, which is the most expensive place in Shanghai. Anyone who can buy a house there is either rich or expensive.
But even if there are ten houses of Tomson first grade, they may not be qualified to enter this villa area.
The three of them, Li Zhi, had already obtained the qualifications to enter this villa area and spent tens of billions to acquire this villa. However, even so, Mr. Li and Mr. Liu who were sitting there, and even the one who was watching A young man who seems to be indifferent can drive Li Zhi and others out of the villa area with just one word.
It even takes less than a day to make these three people impoverished and dusty, never having a chance to stand up again.
These things do not even require the intervention of Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, and the Yang Yanbin family. As long as they say a word, countless people will come one after another to help them do this.
Doing such a sensational thing may just be to have the opportunity to meet and have a word with these real big guys.
"What's the use of Hou Lang in Gao? He still has to serve Grandpa Li."
Yang Yanbin saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he cleverly smoothed things over.
Hearing Yang Yanbin's words, Mr. Li gave him a meaningful look. Yang Yanbin responded with an expression that looked down on life and death.
Mr. Li didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes changed rapidly several times. He wanted to say something, but he stopped.
Then he greeted Li Zhi and said
"I'm tired. Let's go back. When you go back, take the knife to Lao Liu. I'm so old and there's no point in asking for so many gadgets. Xiao Yang, go back and talk to your father. Sit down and drink when you have time. drink tea"
After saying this, he ignored Li Zhi's nod of approval and did not look at Yu Peng again. The old man put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out under the guidance of Li Zhi himself.
When Mr. Liu heard Mr. Li's arrangement, he didn't say anything, but he was still secretly excited. With this knife, he had another treasure in his collection. Thinking of this, Mr. Liu took a look. Yu Peng, who was sitting diagonally opposite, took a deep look and completely remembered Yu Peng's appearance.
Then he said hello to Zhu Juan and Fan Zhihong, and got up and walked out. Zhu Juan obviously had a closer relationship with Mr. Liu, so she escorted Mr. Liu out.
Then, only Fan Zhihong was left in the room, and Yang Yanbin and Yu Qing were sitting.
For Fan Zhihong who is standing, although he is an old man in his 80s, Yang Yanbin has no idea of respecting the elderly at all.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is based on family and social status. The etiquette of respecting elders and younger ones, although it sounds nice, is inheritance and history.
But if you have the status of Mr. Li and Mr. Liu, it is natural for you to call yourself grandpa or Mr. Li or Mr. Liu.
But in the eyes of Yang Yanbin, this old man Fan Zhihong is really nothing.
Not even as high as my old butler
This is indeed the case. There are no ordinary people in front of the emperor. There is also an 80-year-old man. One is a close relative of the emperor in the palace, and the other is an old man working in the fields.
The age can be the same, but the status can be the same? Can the identity be the same? Can you get the same respect?
This society is a structure that is enveloped and differentiated by layers of relationships.
Just like Yang Yanbin has never called Li Zhi, Fan Zhihong, and Zhu Juan by their names since entering this villa, and they don't even have pronouns. After they have said what they want to do, the three of them take the initiative to do it.
The three old people, no matter how old they are and have a distinguished status in front of the public, they still have to respectfully address Yang Yanbin as Master Yang.
this is social status
Although Yu Peng has never seen such a scene of a big family meeting,
But when I was young, I still watched TV. I saw some official TV dramas in which similar situations were played out.
An old man in his fifties who was about to retire was running slowly behind an official in his thirties who came to investigate. He was as obedient as a student.
Although it is an interpretation of a TV series, the situation in real society is probably not much different.
"At the invitation of my father, Yu Peng will come with me soon and be a guest at my home. Please make arrangements."
"Hey...yes!"
Fan Lao agreed wholeheartedly, thinking that Yu Peng was going to escape from his control, that is, he would be as reluctant as possible.
But soon, Mr. Fan realized
"What? I didn't listen carefully just now. Yu Peng is going to your house as a guest? So what I said before is just like this?"
Then Mr. Fan suddenly changed from a slightly depressed expression to a cheerful one, and responded quickly
"I will make arrangements later. Just last night and this morning, Tianhong and Tianjun bought a lot of ingredients for Brother Yu Peng, as well as some medicinal materials that can nourish the body. I will arrange a car to deliver them together with your car later. past"
"Do you think my family lacks these things?"
"Of course not, Master Yang was joking, but this is all a little thought on the part of us. Yu Peng stayed here when he came to Beijing, and he didn't have enough to eat twice. If not, it would seem that our hospitality was not good enough. We feel really sorry.”
"Tch, okay, then you go make arrangements and we'll set off in half an hour."
Then Mr. Fan left the house and went to arrange the transportation of food and medicinal materials.
Yu Peng could imagine that these three old people must have spent a lot of money to buy things in order to win over him. The medicinal materials he just mentioned must have been a big expense.
Then he thought again that when Mr. Li went out just now, he said that the knife was given to Mr. Liu, but the room he entered before...
Whatever came to mind, he asked Yang Yanbin directly
After understanding Yu Peng's question, Yang Yanbin explained
"Your spiritual weapon is so outstanding that it is normal to attract so many people. Although Li Zhi's family has a little money and has consolidated its position by forming an alliance with Fan Zhihong and Mrs. Zhu, there are still too many of them. If a force that can't afford to offend someone comes, it's hard for them to stop them."
"I came here because my father signaled me. I need a spiritual weapon very much, so I have to fight for it. It's not that I want to fight for the knife, but I want to fight for you. But Li Zhi and the others didn't expect that. Mr. and Mr. Liu will also come. These two, not to mention Li Zhi and the other three, even our family cannot afford to offend them."
"So, when Mr. Li speaks, it's final. Someone will naturally come forward to make arrangements for the auction soon. Everyone bids fairly, but the winner in the end must be Mr. Liu. The money is just a number. It's just a walk. Form, to maintain everyone’s face and relationships.”
Hearing what Yang Yanbin said, Yu Peng nodded, and then it didn't matter. When he took out the knife, he knew that it might cause quite a sensation. Through the consciousness threads all around him in the morning, he also knew that this sensation would be greater than I might have expected it to be bigger.
But it doesn't matter if it's bigger or bigger. I have no intention of having anything to do with these so-called nobles.
Perhaps in the past, when I had really seen such a big family, a family with hundreds or thousands of years of heritage, I would have been very interested or surprised for a while.
But after coming out of the Absolute Realm, when faced with these words, Yu Peng suddenly felt very boring.
In the Absolute Territory, the youngest ones are all hundreds of years old. My ancestor, Borhule, lived more than 800 years ago. Not to mention the little boy who came in first. , have been in the Absolute Realm for tens of thousands of years.
Six thousand seven hundred and forty-two ancestors
If this were put into modern society, what would it be called?
The inheritance of you nobles is just inheritance. The old generation dies and the new generation continues, and the cycle continues till now.
But those people in the Absolute Realm are talking directly to people who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. What do you think?
Not to mention, the things those people do in the Absolute Realm have extremely different meanings.
These people on the outside are passed down from generation to generation just for power and money, fame and fortune. Those on the inside may not have a penny, but they do truly great things and truly heroic feats.
Thinking of this, Yu Peng felt even more boring.
I don’t know why, but when I was in the extremity area, Yu Peng was looking forward to coming out every day.
But I really came out, and now I keep thinking about the life there. It should be simpler, more real, and more relaxed.
It's just that if Yu Peng is allowed to go back, he won't do it even to death.
