Hidden Dragon Dojo, in the Heart-Nourishing Room, Xue Jing knelt in a very unobtrusive corner, bowing his head ever so slightly, not letting out a hint of breath from his body.
This corner was the 'most suitable for concealing' place he subconsciously chose after looking around upon entering.
After activating [Concealnt], he instinctively learned this technique.
In a space, which spot had the dimst light, which spot was most likely to be ignored, and which spot wouldn't naturally draw the attention of people's vision—he understood all this at a glance.
He seed to have turned into a sculpture that blended perfectly with the room without the slightest sense of incongruity.
Just like the cardboard boxes stored in a warehouse, the mops and plastic buckets placed in the corners of restrooms, or the books on bookshelves, there was a natural sense of 'he originally belonged to this place.'
Therefore, when Li Qi opened the door to the Heart-Nourishing Room and entered in his wheelchair, he didn't notice at all that a disciple of his own was squatting in a corner of the room.
Chen Fuguang, who followed Li Qi inside, naturally didn't notice either.
The two of them started chatting in front of Xue Jing.
"...If we can't find it, there will be serious trouble. The governnt is already anxious. Chief Councillor Chi Liangyun is retiring next year and only wants a smooth transition. During his tenure, Qingcheng has been quite peaceful under his control. There were no significant achievents, but also no faults, yet now, in the end..."
Chen Fuguang reported sothing to Li Qi.
Li Qi's dim and turbid eyes narrowed slightly, "I do know so news; Qingcheng should now be a chess piece in the conflict between the two factions above. Not just Qingcheng, but cities in the Outer Ring of the Fifth Urban Circle have also begun to have incidents, more or less."
"Golden Wind Dojo has been completely dissolved. Most of the direct disciples have been killed by Little Jing, leaving only that old guy Jiao Hongyuan and his senior disciple Yan Xiangweng, and that Li Chengxuan who is now hiding sowhere unknown..."
"It's strange that a citywide carpet search like this turned up nothing..."
Chen Fuguang thought for a mont and said, "Although it was a citywide search, there are still so places..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Li Qi suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him and turned his head sharply towards the corner, his turbid old eyes flashing with sharpness:
"Who's there!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly saw the person in hiding and was montarily taken aback:
"Little Jing?"
Xue Jing glanced at the panel that prompted [Concealnt Experience Points 366] and stood up, patting the dust off his knees.
"Master, Senior Brother Chen."
He greeted with a wave of his hand.
"Little Junior Brother, what are you hiding there for?" Chen Fuguang scratched his head, puzzled.
"...Speaking of which, you hid really well. Master and I have been here for quite a while without noticing."
Xue Jing laughed and said, "I just comprehended a bit on the thod of concealing one's breath and thought I'd try it out—I didn't expect not even Master to detect ."
Li Qi glared at him, "No killing intent, no hostility, and not even moving; you were like a ghost. I'm an old man, not an immortal. How was I to see you?"
Xue Jing complinted, "That's not true, in my eyes, you are indeed an old immortal."
Hearing this, Chen Fuguang winked at Xue Jing and gave him a thumbs-up, expressing admiration.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and modestly scratched his smooth bald patch, sighing, "I've always said people can't be too honest, you child, should refrain from such blunt truths in the future."
Xue Jing echoed his sigh, "You are right, Master."
After so nonsensical chatter, Chen Fuguang said to Xue Jing, "By the way, Little Junior Brother, you've co at the right ti."
"The dojo has just received a commission specifically asking for you—take a look and see if you want to go."
Xue Jing asked with curiosity, "A nad commission?"
Since he beca famous in the Maple City elimination match, Hidden Dragon Dojo had received many commissions specifically asking for him, but most of these commissions... had impure motives.
And the rewards weren't much either, so Xue Jing asked the dojo to refuse them all on his behalf.
Now Chen Fuguang ntioned there was a commission inquiring about his interest—this must be sothing special.
"Didn't you take a sparring partner commission last ti? This client is the sa as before, and the commission fee is quite substantial..."
Chen Fuguang explained.
"Last ti..." Xue Jing thought for a mont before recalling what had happened before.
Previously, Pei Youguang's elder brother Pei Tiancheng had used a sparring partner commission to call him to their house, where he encountered the Mountain Demon of White Crow Clan.
So this ant the Pei brothers had sent him this commission again?
Xue Jing thought for a mont, took out his phone directly from his pocket, opened the contact list, searched for Pei Youguang's na, and made a call.
As if Pei Youguang had been holding his phone, waiting for the call, it was picked up imdiately after just one ringtone.
"Hello, Youguang."
Xue Jing started.
"Ah, yes, Jing, it's ."
There was a hint of nervousness in Pei Youguang's voice from the receiver.
Xue Jing chuckled, "What's with the panic? Just speak normally."
"I've received a commission from your end here at the dojo—it seems to be from you. What's the matter, couldn't you just call directly without going around the bush?"
He asked curiously.
"Jing, it's not , it's my father who wants to see you," Pei Youguang said in a low voice.
"He says he has sothing important and needs your help, wants to et you, but it's not good to just co over or ask you to visit, so he thought of using the form of a commission like last ti..."
Xue Jing put down the phone, turned to Chen Fuguang, and asked, "Senior Brother Chen, how much is the commission fee they're offering?"
