"To speak of grievances, there are none now, but that doesn't an there were none before, nor does it guarantee there won't be any in the future,"
Su Chen glanced at the people from the Pei Family and said indifferently.
If you ask about any grievances between Su Chen and the Pei Family, he really couldn't specify at the mont, and as for whether the Pei Family was involved in the events of the past, he still didn't know.
Although he saved the old master of the Pei Family today, if they indeed played a disgraceful critical role in the matter, Su Chen wouldn't show rcy then!
His attitude was rely born out of his longstanding disdain for the nobilities of Yandu.
Everyone was taken aback by Su Chen's words and couldn't understand what he ant.
To others, encountering the Pei Family would make them eager to instantly cling to this incredibly powerful supporter, as they were among the top families in Yandu, second only to the Shen Family.
However, this young man was deeply wary and even hateful towards the Pei Family, which was quite bewildering.
If there were grievances, that would be sowhat understandable, but to have grievances with the Pei Family, one must qualify!
For a family of the Pei Family's caliber, not everyone is qualified to bear a grudge against them; one must at least reach that stature, right?
It's like a billionaire hardly having conflicts with a millionaire, because they simply aren't on the sa level!
Yet, apart from his astounding dical skills and the title "Ghost Doctor," they couldn't see anything particularly special about this young man.
"Cough cough!"
Just then, a series of coughs ca from the sickbed.
Upon hearing the cough, everyone imdiately rushed excitedly to the bedside!
"Father!"
"Dad!"
"Grandfather!"
"Grandpa!"
Almost simultaneously, various cries rang out.
The old master Pei slowly opened his eyes, and seeing so many people around him, he muttered:
"What happened to ?"
"Dad, you nearly scared us to death!"
Daughters are generally closer to their fathers, so upon hearing old master Pei's words, Pei Rou imdiately chided him.
Then Pei Rou explained the entire situation to him, expressing her lingering fear:
"If it weren't for young Su today, you really might have..."
"Young man, thank you for saving my life!"
The old master Pei directed his gaze towards Su Chen. Among those present, apart from Su Chen, he recognized everyone, including Xu Yizhen and the deputy dean.
Without a doubt, that stranger was the young Su who had saved his life, as ntioned by his daughter.
"Old master, he is the Ghost Doctor,"
At that mont, Xu Yizhen interjected.
Upon hearing this, old master Pei was imdiately stunned.
"So it was the Ghost Doctor who saved my life. It seems my life was indeed not ant to end yet!"
Old master Pei sighed deeply. He knew more about the significance of the Ghost Doctor than anyone present and had heard many stories about him.
Just like Xu Yizhen, he had not expected the Ghost Doctor to be so young.
"Mr. Su, I know you disdain material wealth, but you saved an old man's life. Would you care to have a simple al at my residence soti, so I can express my gratitude?"
Old master Pei earnestly requested.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others gaped in surprise.
You must know, in the entire Yandu, not more than five people have received an invitation from the old master—that's a great honor indeed!
"The threshold of your Pei residence is too high for a nobody like ; I'd rather keep my distance,"
Su Chen, however, curled his lip and spoke, his words loaded with incontrovertible irony.
Who was old Master Pei? A man whose re foot-stamping could shake Yandu, so upon hearing Su Chen's words, his expression inevitably turned colder.
He refrained from an outburst only because the other party had just saved his life.
Su Chen did not consider the other party's thoughts at all. He walked to the bedside and picked up the jacket he had taken off earlier:
"Since you are not going to die, I'll be leaving."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen was ready to leave. He did not want to stay in such a place at all!
However, just as he reached out to pick up his jacket, Elder Pei suddenly saw sothing. His cloudy pupils contracted violently and his breathing hastened!
"Wait!"
Just as Su Chen turned to leave, a sowhat emaciated hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Su Chen involuntarily turned his head, a cold and puzzled expression appearing on his face.
The others, witnessing this scene, were completely baffled, not knowing what the elder intended to do.
Could it be that he was furious because the young man had just declined his invitation and wanted to attack him in a fit of pique?
However, they all knew Elder Pei; it was clear he was angry, but it seed unlikely that he would want to do anything over such a trivial matter.
Elder Pei was not such a narrow-minded person, was he?!
However, Elder Pei did not care what others were thinking. At that mont, his eyes were only on Su Chen.
Su Chen also coldly t his gaze, although he was also unclear about what Elder Pei intended.
After a mont, Elder Pei sighed aningfully:
"So it's you!"
"You know ? Know who I am?"
Su Chen's heart trembled slightly, but his face still showed no emotion.
"No, I don't know you, but I recognize the tattoo on your arm!"
Elder Pei shook his head as he spoke.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes simultaneously turned toward Su Chen's arm.
They saw a golden dragon tattoo, with the dragon's head raised, as if it were about to fly into the sky at any mont...
"You are Su Chen, once the Chief Instructor of Huaxia's most mysterious Eighth Brigade!"
Elder Pei looked into Su Chen's deep black eyes and pronounced each word distinctly.
At these words, the confusion deepened on the faces of the others.
The Eighth Brigade? They had never heard of such a unit in Huaxia.
However, the woman in white, usually so calm, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, her stunning face covered in astonishnt!
He was the man of legend!
"Ghost Doctor! Once the Chief Instructor of the Eighth Brigade! What other identities do you have that I am not aware of?"
The woman in white murmured softly...
"Father, what Eighth Brigade? Why have I never heard of it?"
Pei Ji couldn't help but voice the question in his mind, which was also on everyone else's minds.
"An existence you are not qualified to know about."
Elder Pei glanced at his son and said indifferently.
The shock among the crowd deepened!
What kind of brigade was that? Even the prestigious Young Master Pei Ji was not qualified to know about it?
"So what?"
Su Chen looked sharply at Elder Pei and coldly snorted, his tone slightly provocative.
"Mr. Su, there's no need for this, I an no harm."
Elder Pei released Su Chen's wrist and smiled lightly:
"I feel that Mr. Su seems to have a deep hostility towards and our Pei Family. Why is that?"
"If you knew my other identity, perhaps you would know the answer."
Su Chen glanced at Elder Pei, equally aningfully uttering the sentence...
