Chapter 1290 Pei Yanzhou: It seems I've been put on a pedestal again.
"We only made a verbal agreement at the time, and there were no other restrictions. Are you sure you want to do this?" Gu Xiu couldn't help but ask.
But Pei Yanzhou said with a serious expression, "A promise is a promise. Since it was a promise I made, I should keep it!"
"Excellent! What a fine example of keeping one's word!"
"Master Pei truly deserves to be called the foremost proponent of the Mohist school's non-aggression approach; his character is indeed impeccable!"
"It is said that he was almost caused a disaster because he was used by Nan Jun. Now it seems that he is willing to admit his mistakes. Just this alone explains why he has such a high reputation in the Mo family."
"That's right. I heard that although he couldn't save the core of the Holy Light, he assisted Special Envoy Gu when he broke the Holy Wax Stone, which proves that he is indeed capable."
Before Gu Xiu could answer, a murmur of discussion arose from the side, mostly praising Pei Yanzhou.
This scene made Gu Xiu raise an eyebrow slightly, sensing that things weren't so simple.
Seeing Pei Yanzhou's still sincere face, Gu Xiu had an idea and immediately used the divine power of the Listening God on him.
Pei Yanzhou was, after all, a half-saint of the divine path. In terms of realm, he was far stronger than Gu Xiu. In addition, his greatest strength was controlling mechanical beasts, and his own divine soul power was not weak. If it were before, Gu Xiu's supernatural powers would have been completely ineffective.
But now, with the support of Xuan power and the strength of the divine soul, Gu Xiu's listening ability, which was originally ineffective, has also had a certain effect on Pei Yanzhou.
While we wouldn't hear his complete thoughts, we could at least get a general idea.
really.
With his supernatural hearing ability, Gu Xiu clearly noticed that Pei Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief and even felt a little smug.
It seems so.
This guy's claim to be his lord is a lie; his real intention is to put on this show in public.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiu immediately put on a humble and courteous smile: "Master Pei, as a half-sage of the Mohist school and also holding the position of Ruler of the Rules, it is logically inappropriate for you to acknowledge me as your master..."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Pei Yanzhou's face remained sincere.
But in reality, he was clearly secretly pleased with himself, and it seemed that he was so pleased that Gu Xiu even caught a glimpse of his inner thoughts.
"Hahaha, my tactic of retreating to advance has worked! No matter how bold this kid is, he can't possibly make me acknowledge him as my master."
Clearly, that's his idea.
To retreat in order to advance.
On the surface, he kept his promise, but in reality, he was certain that Gu Xiu would not actually acknowledge the promise in front of outsiders. After all, he was a half-saint of the Mo family, and a dignified Lord of the Rules. Gu Xiu was indeed very unlikely to take him under his wing in the street.
But as long as Gu Xiu refuses, Pei Yanzhou will not have broken his promise.
Even this stunt could reverse his reputation and public image.
Get it in one fell swoop!
Of course, these were just Pei Yanzhou's fleeting thoughts. At least on the surface, he still maintained a sincere expression, and didn't even wait for Gu Xiu's brief pause to seize the opportunity:
“There is nothing unreasonable about it. We disciples of the Mohist school have always kept our promises. Even if I were to become a Mohist saint and hold the position of Lord of the Rules, I would still have to keep my word!”
"This..." Gu Xiu looked troubled and hesitant.
Pei Yanzhou was secretly pleased. According to the procedure, Gu Xiu would definitely try to persuade him again, and then he could take the opportunity to back down and make up the fact that the promise was just a pretext.
Not only did they fulfill their previous promise, but they also gained a good reputation.
I'm a genius!
Just as he was calculating, Gu Xiu sighed, "Since Master Pei insists, then so be it. From today onwards, Master Pei will be my personal guard."
“Vice City Lord Gu, there’s no need to worry. I, Pei Yanzhou, am a man of my word…” Pei Yanzhou was still acting when he suddenly realized something was amiss, and he stared blankly for a moment, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Huh? You... what did you say???"
"I have agreed to Master Pei's request," Gu Xiu replied, then said with some emotion, "Master Pei is such a person who keeps his promises. Although I feel that I am not quite suitable, I really do not want to let you down. So I can only agree to your request."
Pei Yanzhou: !!
No!
Shouldn't you have declined a little and then given me a chance to back down?
You just agreed like that??
Is this correct?
"Master Pei is a man of noble character, worthy of our utmost respect and admiration. Master Pei, rest assured, although I cannot refuse your request to become my personal guard and swear allegiance to me, even though I am your lord, I will certainly treat you well and respect you!"
Gu Xiu's words were sincere and heartfelt, inspiring deep respect. Pei Yanzhou could feel the profound admiration in the gazes directed at him from those around him.
Is this a good thing...?
That's bullshit!
He dared not continue his act and hurriedly tried to decline: "Vice City Lord Gu, I am, after all, the Master of the Mo Clan. According to my position, I am the number one person below the Grand Master in the Mo Clan's Divine Path. This status..."
"This identity is excellent!" Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xiu suddenly shouted, his voice so loud it startled Pei Yanzhou. But Gu Xiu's face was full of sincerity as he continued:
"It is precisely because of your noble status that this further proves the preciousness of the Mohist school's commitment to keeping its promises. From now on, when everyone in the world mentions the Mohist school, they will inevitably mention Lord Chiju, and they will inevitably mention what happened today!"
"In the future, whoever speaks of the Mohists will surely give them a thumbs up and praise their commitment to keeping their promises and keeping their word!"
"I believe that this is not what Master Pei is pursuing, but I must also make a name for Master Pei and let the world know what kind of upright gentleman, what kind of person who keeps his promises, is Mozi's Master Chiju!"
Gu Xiu's impassioned speech stirred the blood of his audience and drew a round of praise:
"That's right!"
"We must spread the word about what happened today!"
"Master Pei is of noble character! The Mohists are of noble character! Special Envoy Gu is of noble character!"
"It has been a long time since the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Sin has seen such a person who keeps his promises. It seems that the Mohist school is indeed remarkable and admirable. I believe that even if the leader of the Mohist school knew about this, he would not say anything inappropriate. On the contrary, he would praise Master Pei's character!"
"..."
The crowd grew increasingly emotional, and at one point, some even shed tears.
In this world of deceit and treachery, where evil thoughts run rampant and emotions can be amplified at any moment by the sea of evil, the appearance of such a scene is nothing short of a miracle for humanity, deserving of sincere admiration and utmost respect.
Blood is boiling!
Soaring ambition!
Just ...
Pei Yanzhou, the person involved, felt a sudden weakness throughout his body.
It's getting chilly.
Unfortunately, he couldn't refute it at all. Even if Gu Xiu did offer him a way out, he wouldn't be able to get down now.
More importantly, while everyone was filled with enthusiasm, Gu Xiu took the opportunity to propose that they accept Pei Yanzhou's oath of allegiance, accept Pei Yanzhou's divine oath, and accept his offering of the divine foundation stone.
Pei Yanzhou was naturally a hundred percent unwilling, but sometimes it's not a matter of whether he was willing or not.
Because he suddenly realized it.
Own……
It seems like I've been put on hold again!
Last time, he was forced by the Sacred Flame Palace to commit a terrible disaster.
And this time...
Gu Xiu was forcing him to sign a contract of servitude!
