In a private dining room of a restaurant outside the university, Cao Yingjun asked aloud.
Liu Limin did know a bit about it, but certainly not as much as Ji Wutian.
Compared to Ji Wutian, his family was just a small-ti middle class with a bit of money.
They couldn’t even co close to the core circles of Dragon City martial arts university.
Seeing everyone looking his way, Ji Wutian cleared his throat, about to sip his tea, when he was slapped on the back of the head by Ji Yuyan, “Get on with it, stop posing.”
Ji Wutian nearly choked on his breath, shot her an annoyed look, but knowing he couldn’t keep Pei Jinye and Cao Yingjun waiting, he said in a grave tone, “Xu Tianqiu, from the Eastern Continent Xu Family, let put it this way, although my surna is Ji, compared to such a young master of the Xu Family like him, I’m nothing but a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Their family has the Five Tiger Generals…”
Ji Wutian was speaking when he was suddenly interrupted by a light chuckle. He looked around in confusion, only to realize that the chuckle ca from Pei Jinye.
Even Ji Yuyan couldn’t help but look over.
Pei Jinye waved his hand, “I was reminded of an old friend, please continue.”
Ji Wutian didn’t think much of it and went on, “Xu Tianqiu can be said to be from a noble birth, only two years older than , and has already established a study society. Liu Limin was selected from Dragon City, he must understand how difficult it is to establish a study society at Dragon City martial arts university.”
Cao Yingjun turned to look at Liu Limin.
Liu Limin nodded, agreeing deeply, “No joke, applying for a study society at Dragon City martial arts university might be harder than developing your own Domain. Not only do you need to be strong personally, but you also need to pull together team mbers who et the criteria.
Besides, you have to convince professors inside the school to back you up, with at least an Eighth Rank, and even then, having an Eighth Rank professor as a backer isn’t secure, you might need the presence of a Ninth Rank powerhouse…
But finding a Ninth Rank within the academy… is very tough, they’re vitally impossible to find, to locate them, you would need a truly powerful background.”
Cao Yingjun’s mouth gradually fell open.
“The more I hear, the more certain I am that Xu Tianqiu is really impressive.”
Ji Wutian nodded his head, let out a light sigh, and patted Cao Yingjun on the shoulder, “Brother, my advice to you is not to think about revenge. That guy… I could only dare to provoke his lackeys. Even when Luo Zehu was at his peak, he only quarreled with him online, never confronting him outright. Unless—”
He sighed regretfully, “Unless you display exceptional talent during your school days, like Fang Tianping, and then attract the attention of high-level mbers of the school to take you as a disciple. If you could get the dean to be your ntor, honestly, if you were to slap him in front of his father, his father would probably ask if your hand hurts?”
“…”
Ji Yuyan kicked him, “Watch your words, the walls have ears, dummy.”
Ji Wutian laughed awkwardly, “Well, that’s the gist.”
Liu Limin also patted Cao Yingjun on the shoulder sympathetically, “Brother, don’t overthink it. I was beaten up when I first entered the school, way worse than you are now, literally unable to get out of bed for half a month.”
Cao Yingjun was startled, “And then what?”
“Then?” Liu Limin suddenly chuckled.
Cao Yingjun was taken aback.
It was at this point that Murong Xiyue checked the ssage on their phone, their expression changing slightly as they looked at Pei Jinye, but said nothing.
Cao Yingjun was still sowhat resentful.
However, after hearing about so of Xu Tianqiu’s actions, he could only swallow his anger.
He laughed at himself.
“Now I understand why the dean insisted on letting us experience the Hall of Myriad Images and the storyline of being the center of attention right from the start.”
He lifted his cup, choosing tea over wine, and thus expressed his thanks.
After the al ended.
Ji Wutian went to pay the bill.
Taking advantage of the mont when Pei Jinye was alone, Murong Xiyue called out to him.
“Pei Jinye, I have sothing to say to you.”
Pei Jinye looked up and then nodded.
…
When Ji Yuyan ca out of the washroom, she didn’t see Pei Jinye and Murong Xiyue and asked in confusion, “Where did they go?”
“Didn’t see them, weren’t they with you?” Ji Wutian was also puzzled.
Ji Yuyan rolled her eyes and began to dial their numbers.
…
Pei Jinye looked at Murong Xiyue sowhat surprised, “You an to say, Xu Tianqiu bet on our three assessnt exams, and because of , he lost eight thousand academic credits in the first round?”
Murong Xiyue nodded and said thoughtfully, “I’m just letting you know, just in case. From the information I’ve got, he is quite stubborn, I’m not sure if he’ll swallow his pride to trouble you, but what I’m afraid of is that his followers might have bad ideas… You’d better be careful lately.”
Pei Jinye smiled and nodded, “Thank you for the heads-up.”
Murong Xiyue hesitated for a mont, “Aren’t you worried?”
Pei Jinye looked at her frankly, “To be honest, it’s quite frustrating to be targeted by such a big shot, but these are all our assumptions. We’ll just have to take precautions.”
Murong Xiyue pondered for a mont, “Hopefully, it’s just my concern. If sothing really happens, you can co to .”
“Still, I’d rather not.” Pei Jinye shook his head.
That would be a huge favor owed.
And what Murong Xiyue said might not even hold.
Whether Xu Tianqiu would give that face was hard to say.
He didn’t need to drag Murong Xiyue into it.
Just like with Lin Shentian…
If Xu Tianqiu was asking for trouble, then there was nothing he could do.
His specialty was, after all, striking at the heart.
When Pei Jinye and Murong Xiyue reappeared together, Ji Yuyan looked suspiciously at the two, “What did you two do, not answering calls?”
“Don’t jump to conclusions—we just happened to have so questions and discussed them with Student Pei, and before we knew it, we had wandered off,” Murong Xiyue explained.
Pei Jinye ntioned to keep Ji Yuyan and the others from worrying, so she did not reveal the actual situation.
Ji Yuyan wrapped her arms around Murong Xiyue, thinking the topic was about aliens; her interest was piqued instantly, and the two sisters chatted as they walked.
Ji Wutian looked toward Pei Jinye, “Heading back?”
Pei Jinye nodded, “Back to cultivate. In two months, the ‘[Basic Breathing thod]’ will require an assessnt of concentration tis. It’s best if no one wastes ti; there’s a geography class at three thirty in the afternoon.”
After Pei Jinye had spoken, everyone began to disperse.
Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun didn’t get the chance to have a noon rest.
Both went to the Cultivation Room.
Pei Jinye was alone in his dorm room, eyes closed in rest, imperceptibly cycling the “”Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns””, his strength rapidly increasing.
As for the [Basic Breathing thod]… the word basic alone ant Pei Jinye could add to his proficiency with his eyes closed.
To be honest, his practice of this Basic Breathing thod felt almost like bullying.
If old Gu knew that Pei Jinye could enter concentration in a second, the little old man would probably be so surprised that he would take him as a disciple on the spot.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed.
Pei Jinye awoke from his cultivation.
His personal communicator buzzed with a ssage from Luo Yizhou, who wanted to hand over the Cultivation Room access he had earned from the third challenge to Pei Jinye.
But Pei Jinye didn’t accept it.
“This is an opportunity you’ve earned; cherish it.”
He could have aid for it if he wanted to.
Only he could have been the first in that third challenge.
But he had let Luo Yizhou take it.
That hidden piece on the board could be developed nicely.
Probably even Director Yan couldn’t imagine that his conversation with the middle-aged man had actually been overheard by Pei Jinye.
Who would have thought…
This lucky fellow from Da Peng City was actually a terrifying demon head who could fight toe-to-toe with the Federation’s top combat forces.
At that mont, the door opened.
A figure quietly peeked in.
Then the person tiptoed over…
“Pei Jinye?”
Zhong Taishu called out cautiously.
“What is it?” Pei Jinye opened the curtain to look.
Zhong Taishu gave a dry laugh, scratching his head as he spoke, “Captain, it’s about Situ Liyue. She wanted to remind you to be careful of the people from the War God Society.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow and replied with an amiable smile, “Did you hear sothing?”
Zhong Taishu turned to check the door, making sure no one was outside, then divulged what he knew. It was the sa as what Murong Xiyue had said—essentially that Xu Tianqiu had lost eight thousand academic credits because Pei Jinye had taken first place.
That was no small amount.
And given Xu Tianqiu’s vengeful nature, he would certainly try to make up for the loss.
“The War God Association has had so trouble with the student council lately, so they probably won’t bother you for a short while, but you have to be careful of anything they might do on the sly… Situ Liyue said it’s best not to leave the school grounds. Dean Lin should still be able to protect us.”
“Thanks.”
Pei Jinye simply expressed his gratitude without saying much else. He looked over mildly and asked with a smile, “What made you think to tell all this?”
Zhong Taishu scratched his head, “Situ Liyue said you’re not a bad guy, definitely not a bad person, so this is her way of making it up to you.”
“Making it up?” Pei Jinye looked on with interest.
Zhong Taishu quickly covered his mouth, realizing he misspoke, and ran out of the room.
Pei Jinye shook his head and chuckled to himself.
Such a simpleton.
His relationship with the Knight Order was delicate.
But Zhong Taishu and Situ Liyue weren’t bad at heart; otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed them to potentially bring danger so close to him.
At three o’clock.
The geography lesson began. The teacher was a short-haired middle-aged woman, passionate about her speech. It was clear that despite her age, she still retained her enthusiasm for teaching.
In the middle of class, a group of people hurried by, creating quite a disturbance and drawing the attention of the students in the room.
The geography teacher waited a mont, not imdiately interrupting the students’ gossiping.
After three seconds, she clapped her hands sharply and shouted a firm “Attention,” drawing all the distracted students’ eyes back to her.
This was a rule she had established at the beginning of the class.
Once she issued this command, everyone had to abide by her rules or face punishnt.
As for the punishnt,
Liu Limin had to sing while standing on his hands in front of the whole class, and his serious deanor was mockingly laughed at for half a period.
Since then, everyone had begun to avoid such social deaths.
After class, Ji Wutian suddenly suggested, “Check the forum.”
“What happened?” Liu Limin went to the forum first and sharply inhaled a breath of cold air, “Damn, the War God Society declared war on the student council??? Are they that savage?”
Pei Jinye showed no concern whatsoever.
There was thunder on tonight’s forecast, a divination revealing causality.
It was a good night for cultivation.
