Xu Wanxiao had just returned from the restroom and was surprised to see that only Li Xiaoyin was left in the private room.
“Where’s Pei Jinye?” she asked, perplexed.
“He just went to the restroom. Didn’t you run into him on the way?” Li Xiaoyin replied, putting down her phone.
“No…” Xu Wanxiao said, feeling strange. “He didn’t leave, did he?”
“Impossible.”
“He’s done that before…”
“…”
Doubtful, Li Xiaoyin sent a ssage to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye: “I didn’t leave, I’ll be back soon.”
Seeing the ssage, Xu Wanxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two girls began to talk about topics related to their cultivation.
Unbeknownst to them, at least ten kiloters away from the restaurant, in the outskirts…
Pei Jinye stood atop a large tree, slowly fastening his mask.
He had been tracking all this way.
He was curious to see who the other person was.
…
Several sturdy n, all dressed in uniforms displaying the insignia “Dragon Shun” and carrying clubs, were patrolling the area.
They soon passed by the tree where Pei Jinye had been.
“Do you sense anything?” one of the n asked.
“Sensing what? Is there a problem?” The man on the far left imdiately started looking around with a flashlight.
“It’s the sll of barbecue, those bastards in the front yard are having an extra al without inviting us.”
“Damn it, I thought you sensed a real problem! If we want to eat, let’s just hurry up.”
The n quickened their pace.
No one noticed that a person had quietly disappeared from the tree.
Pei Jinye circled the base and arrived at a secret facility.
At the entrance, two burly guards with intimidating looks were blocking the way.
Pei Jinye glanced at them.
[Spirit·Warning Light]
[Instrunt·Sword]
Their spiritual power indicated they were both rely at the Extraordinary Fifth Rank.
…
Pei Jinye vanished in the blink of an eye.
And when he reappeared, it was behind the two muscular guards, hands pressing down on them.
“Thud.”
Before they could even react, their spiritual worlds had been invaded.
This was the first ti Pei Jinye, now at the Extraordinary Seventh Rank, had killed soone.
He could clearly sense it.
With his spiritual power reaching one hundred thousand, he was now able to simultaneously devour the mories of the two n.
…
The two Extraordinary individuals were of little concern to him; rather, their mories were important.
Dragon Shun was a logistics company in Dragon City, and even these two didn’t know who was behind it.
They appeared to be a logistics company on the surface, but they were an intelligence agency in secret.
He dragged the two bodies into a nearby bush.
Pei Jinye made his way inside.
Upon entering, he saw traces of blood on the ground and heard a woman’s screams coming from a room ahead.
“Who’s there!”
A young man ca out of the adjacent hallway, pulling up his pants, and upon seeing Pei Jinye roared and lunged at him.
Pei Jinye looked on calmly and flicked his finger.
The attacking young man was sent flying back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was about to shout for help.
But unfortunately, he was a step too slow.
Pei Jinye had already appeared like a specter, hand pressing down.
“Hss—”
It was at this mont, a piercing sound cut through the air.
A flaming arrow shot out.
“Clang.”
It was as if it had struck so hard object, and the razor-sharp arrowhead blunt upon impact.
It couldn’t penetrate Pei Jinye’s defense.
With the young man in hand, Pei Jinye disappeared.
“Where is he?”
A group of people rushed out of the adjacent yard.
“He’s run off.” The woman who had fired the arrow spoke coldly, holding the now shattered arrowhead with a grave expression; “Who is this guy?”
“What happened?” A middle-aged man erged.
Everyone nearby bowed their heads in greeting.
The woman’s voice was still cold as ice: “Soone made it here. If it weren’t for Lao Shui triggering the Thousand-Thread Line, we might not have detected them at all.”
“Thousand-Thread Line is said to detect even those at the Extraordinary Ninth Rank close at hand. And it didn’t manage to hold him?” The middle-aged man’s face changed slightly.
The woman shook her head: “Couldn’t hold him at all.”
She indicated the arrowhead in her hand, “My heavy arrow couldn’t even break his defense; by my estimation, at least Seventh Rank.”
“A Domain Strongman?” The expression on the middle-aged man’s face drastically altered, and he hurriedly reached for his phone to make contact.
But just then.
A sudden explosion roared in the distance.
Dust billowed up everywhere.
Several mbers of Dragon Shun Logistics were even shocked enough to fall to the ground.
“What’s that?”
The middle-aged man’s face changed: “No good, it’s the warehouse! Quick, let’s retake the warehouse, Thousand-Thread Line is in there!”
The stoic woman’s expression also changed as she vanished from the spot with great speed.
Following her, several figures leaped onto the beams of the buildings, using the moonlight to rush toward the warehouse.
…
“Where is he?”
“He’s run off.”
“This is… Lao Shui’s body?”
“And the Thousand-Thread Line… is it also?”
“The warehouse has been emptied, this is definitely a preditated invasion by an organized group!”
“Search! We must conduct a thorough investigation!!!!”
“First, we retreat from here; I’ll take a couple of brothers to pursue, act according to the signal.”
The stoic woman dropped a line, swiftly taking two figures and vanished in a flash.
…
…
“Squeak.”
The door pushed open.
Xu Wanxiao and Li Xiaoyin, who were giggling, turned to look at the sa ti.
Li Xiaoyin noticed the cotton candy in Pei Jinye’s hand, “Did you go buy cotton candy?”
“I picked up a call, and just happen to see it being sold on the roadside, so I bought three,” Pei Jinye closed the door, handed out the cotton candy, one for each person.
The two ladies had had so private contact ti and had inevitably grown closer.
A mont later.
After dispersing from the gathering.
Xu Wanxiao originally wanted to walk Pei Jinye and Li Xiaoyin together, but they politely declined, so she didn’t insist.
…
Under the night sky.
The nightlife of Dragon City was just beginning, bustling with people.
“The Jiang family got in touch with , but that old man didn’t see ,” Li Xiaoyin said uncertainly.
Hearing this, Pei Jinye looked over, “That’s normal, don’t overthink it. He’s in seclusion every day, and even Uncle Zhou doesn’t get a chance to see him.”
“Uncle Zhou you ntioned is…”
“Oh, that’s the Governor of Da Peng City.”
“…”
Li Xiaoyin fell silent.
She had to admit, her junior brother had really beco sothing.
“Extraordinary Third Rank…”
Thinking about how she had finally achieved her ambition and reached the Extraordinary Third Rank, but compared to Pei Jinye’s resu, her own accomplishnts seed pale.
“In another year you’ll graduate, and then whether you stay in Dragon City or go back to Central State, the Jiang family will support you.”
Pei Jinye’s words gave Li Xiaoyin so more ideas.
She was silent for a mont, then shared her realization, “The Jiang family now seems different from before.”
She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.
The financial power of the Jiang family had made her once think… that this Jiang family was not the one from Da Peng City.
She was from the Li family, after all, she had seen the world in Da Peng City.
But only after receiving the Jiang family’s resources package yesterday did she really open her eyes… all these years she had been living like a blind person.
Pei Jinye chuckled, “Sister, I’m not picking on you, but you left and never ca back; you don’t know the changes in Da Peng City. I’ve said before that Da Peng City is no longer the sa.”
Li Xiaoyin opened her mouth but could only offer a wry smile.
…
After arriving back at school, Pei Jinye walked Li Xiaoyin down to her dormitory before leaving.
But it was early still.
He didn’t go back imdiately.
He found a corner in the campus park and sat down to himself.
He had been to Dragon Shun, and the unexpected delight was probably the Thousand-Thread Line.
This thing could even sense Extraordinary Ninth Rankers up close, no wonder he was discovered as soon as he appeared…
As for Dragon Shun arranging soone to track him…
“I actually can’t find out.”
Pei Jinye frowned.
Deep in thought.
Behind Dragon Shun was either the Rebel Army or the Federation…
But no matter which force it was, soone had noticed him.
“Because of Snow Dragon Mountain.”
Pei Jinye smiled bitterly, after all his planning, it turned out that so fools were still after him, and he felt a helpless sense of asking for trouble.
“These guys… despite how obvious I’ve been, they still won’t give up. Situ Liyue must be having a tough ti too.”
Just then, a ssage ca from Situ Liyue.
[Wanna chat? I’ve discovered sothing here.]
Pei Jinye replied with one word: [Okay.]
…
Inside the secure room.
The middle-aged man was sweating profusely.
In the dimly lit room, a mysterious man in a suit stood with his back to him, a broad back giving off an extrely imposing aura.
“The warehouse was breached, I’ve already made arrangents to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I’ll make sure those people won’t get away. Please, you must trust .”
The man in the suit spoke slowly, “I already know about the events, you don’t need to investigate.”
“This…” The middle-aged man’s face was instantly covered with cold sweat, “Please give a chance to redeem myself.”
“Redeem yourself?” The mysterious man in the suit chuckled lightly, with an inexplicable tone.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from the top of the middle-aged man’s head.
He frantically knelt down.
“I swear—”
“Enough.”
The middle-aged man hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted.
“This matter involves too much… and now that the Thousand-Thread Line has been lost, let’s wait and see. If it really was done by those organizations, we will soon get the news.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
“Dismissed.”
“Yes…”
The room was left with only the man in the suit.
In front of him,
a furnace emitted wafts of steam, forming an image.
On it, Pei Jinye, wearing a mask, appeared in the Internal Court, killing several people in a row.
He watched it over and over, more than a dozen tis.
The man in the suit couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
“What exactly is this guy’s deal… I can’t deduce his origins at all from his moves… it’s as if—”
“These techniques don’t belong to this world at all!”
…
In the blink of an eye, dawn ca.
Although unable to go to Snow Dragon Mountain, Lin Xiuxian still found a way to get the students running together.
It was rough on the middle-aged teacher, who, being Extraordinary, had to materialize the running track.
“Principal, the strength of these kids has more than doubled,” the middle-aged man looked to Lin Xiuxian.
He had been present throughout the initial assessnt.
So, he was very aware of how much progress these students had made.
“Still not enough,” Lin Xiuxian said bluntly.
The middle-aged man chuckled sheepishly.
He dared not respond.
After the run,
Situ Liyue ca over to Pei Jinye, pretending to be nonchalant, “How are you considering it?”
Pei Jinye shook his head, “I’m not going, and I advise you not to either. Let the higher-ups of the Knight Order get involved. They’ve already tracked it to your face, so your leaders should have so kind of reaction, right?”
“…”
It was sort of hitting a nerve.
Seeing her like this, Pei Jinye said oddly, “Don’t tell your organization is lacking even a bit of sentint.”
“…”
Situ Liyue fell silent.
If this conversation continued, she feared the Knight Order might end up with a defector tonight.
