Chapter 583: Shura Field Judge
Pei Jin's azure eyes grew darker as he pondered over the title that should have belonged to him but now referred to someone else.
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law...
Which sister?
Whose husband is this again!
The air around suddenly turned cold.
The man who had just spoken was completely unaware and met Pei Jin's gaze nonchalantly, laughing casually with no shame in his tone:
"Sorry, sorry, we've been used to calling Brother Qin like this since we were little, and I just couldn't stop myself. It was just a joke between friends. Please don't mind, Mr. Pei."
Before Pei Jin could start to attack, Qin Lingzheng had already turned his head and glanced at the person beside him. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his voice was light and casual:
"do not talk."
After saying this, he turned around and bumped into Pei Jin head-on, his eyebrows slightly raised with undiminished momentum, a sharp glint hidden in his eyes:
"We were young and ignorant at the time, and we were just joking. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed ahead of Pei Jin and replied:
"How could that be? Master Pei isn't that kind of person, don't you think, Master Pei?"
Someone else chimed in, "It's just a nickname. What's the big deal? There's no need to make a fuss about it, right?"
"Mr. Pei, if you start to make a fuss about this, it will be meaningless."
"that is……"
Even though he hadn't done anything yet, all the accusations came at him like sharp swords, as if they had already determined that he would not give up.
Faced with this expected sarcasm, Pei Jin secretly pinched his clenched joints, then slowly loosened them.
Seeing the other party's aggressive approach, knowing that today's matter would not end peacefully, Pei Jin simply stopped tolerating and interrupted the other party's sarcasm with a cold voice:
"What if I insist on making a fuss?"
The people on the opposite side were silent for a moment and turned their eyes to Qin Lingzheng.
Qin Lingzheng had anticipated this and once again glanced sideways at them, veiledly accusing them of something else:
"Didn't you hear what Master Pei said? Change your words. Your sister Yuan isn't married yet, so you can't just call her 'brother-in-law' casually?"
"do not!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of others, and they protested:
"I've been called that for so many years, I'm used to it."
"Yes."
"Besides, it's not true. We were just joking around. Is there any need to take it so seriously?"
"Zhengzi, this is boring."
"Mr. Pei, I'm not saying you—are you making such a fuss?"
"Anyway, I don't care. We're just friends. I'm happy to call you brother-in-law. If Master Pei doesn't like it, he can go and talk to Sister Yuan—ahem…"
He lost his words for a moment, and facing Qin Lingzheng's warning gaze, he quickly changed his words:
"Mr. Pei, as a man, you should be more generous. Our sister Yuan doesn't like men who are petty. Look at how magnanimous Brother Qin is..."
The "magnanimous" Qin Lingzheng just listened to everyone talking without saying anything to stop them. It was not until the voices around him gradually faded away and there was really nothing left to say that he stood up hypocritically to smooth things over.
"Okay, everyone, shut up."
As soon as Qin Lingzheng spoke, the crowd immediately quieted down.
"We were wrong in the first place. Master Pei is absolutely right."
As he spoke, Qin Lingzheng handed the wine glass he had been shaking in his hand for a long time to Pei Jin.
"Mr. Pei, I apologize for the offense. I offer you a toast."
It would have been fine if he hadn't offered the wine, but as soon as he did, Pei Jin's eyes immediately showed vigilance and alertness.
Everyone knows that you can’t drink anything at a banquet, especially if it’s offered by your mortal enemy.
This wine has been in Qin Lingzheng's hands for such a long time, it's hard to say what's mixed in it.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin didn't want to stay any longer, and he had nothing to say to Qin Lingzheng and the people from Beijing. He put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave with a sullen face.
This was exactly what Qin Lingzheng wanted, so how could he let him leave so easily? He immediately blocked his way and forced the wine to pass through.
"Why, Master Pei doesn't give me face?"
Seeing this, Qin Lingzheng's loyal lackeys started to jeer again, "Mr. Pei, that's enough. Brother Qin is giving you a way out. Don't go too far."
"Drink the wine, we will still be brothers in the future."
"Mr. Pei, do you really have to embarrass Brother Qin on Sister Yuan's birthday party?"
As they were talking, several people had already slowly gathered towards Pei Jin at Qin Lingzheng's suggestion, as if they wanted to form a human wall to trap him inside, thus blocking the view of others, and it looked like they were going to force him to drink.
The commotion here finally attracted the attention of the other guests at the banquet.
Those who are trustworthy will know what is going on at a glance.
Thinking that he couldn't afford to offend both sides, he decided to buy Bai Yuan a favor, so that the two of them wouldn't start fighting on the spot and disrupt the feast. So he took the opportunity to find the direction where Bai Yuan was and inform her of the news.
Sensing the impending crisis, Pei Jin also stood slightly sideways, guarding against any excessive actions from the group in front of him, but his tone remained firm:
"So what if he doesn't want to drink? What? Master Qin is going to force the cow to drink water?"
"how come?"
Qin Lingzheng curled the corner of his mouth towards Pei Jin.
The next second, his wrist shook, and the goblet that he had just held in his hand tilted, and the dark red liquid immediately poured all over his clothes, wetting the collar of his shirt which was also dark red.
Pei Jin: …
Qin Lingzheng: ...
Miscalculation!
The colors of the drink and the shirt blend in perfectly, you can't tell them apart at all! ! !
The unexpected incident made Qin Lingzheng's eyes dazed for a moment.
The scene almost became a deadlock because of this.
Fortunately, these Beijing gentlemen reacted quickly. Before Qin Lingzheng and Pei Jin could react, they transformed into judges of the Shura Field and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Mr. Pei, what are you doing?"
"Brother Qin just said hello to you, do you really have to throw wine at him?"
"Our brother Qin has a good temper, you can't bully him like this, right?"
"Mr. Pei, you've gone too far!!!"
