Today, Pei Xuanjing’s courtyard was teeming with a continuous stream of visitors.

After Qingyang Zi left, the other editors of the Martial Academy ca to visit, asking Pei Xuanjing about certain matters.

After all, they also held the position of editors at the Martial Academy, so if soone could make a move against Pei Xuanjing, they could probably do the sa to them.

And were there really none among these editors who had been planted by so forces?

No one could guarantee that.

However, Pei Xuanjing, who had been warned by Qingyang Zi, briefly spoke about these matters before dismissing everyone, citing ntal fatigue.

By noon, Gu Ji sent so gifts, explaining to Pei Xuanjing that he was unable to visit due to the various entanglents in the imperial court stemming from last night’s incident. He also conveyed so news about the Court Situation, as well as his speculations.

As soon as he finished reading the letter, Lin Qingyi arrived again.

He stated that he had co firstly to visit Pei Xuanjing, and secondly to act as a representative of the Commanding Officer and et the people from Six Gates together with him.

However, upon learning that the Vice President of the Martial Academy had stepped in to intercept the people from Six Gates, Lin Qingyi regretted that his gesture of goodwill had been in vain.

Then, he told Pei Xuanjing, “Mr. Pei, the commander from Military Equipnt Departnt is suspected of negligence last night and is now in the Prison of Imperial Decree. Would you be interested to have a look?”

His words were tactful, only ntioning the negligence and other offences of the commander from the Military Equipnt Departnt but not ntioning that the man had deliberately obstructed Pei Xuanjing the night before.

Nevertheless, Pei Xuanjing understood the aning behind the polite facade. He laughed and nodded, saying, “What a pity. Seeing his actions yesterday, I thought he was a man of upright character.”

Pei Xuanjing despised the commander from the Military Equipnt Departnt for his actions last night. Without a doubt, the man was acting under soone else’s orders to cause him trouble.

Pei Xuanjing had been planning to use this opportunity to deal with this man, but he didn’t expect the Brocade Guards to act so quickly, arresting him and taking him to the Prison of the Imperial Decree this very day.

When one gives gifts, there is usually a favor in return expected.

Given the way this Commanding Officer of the Brocade Guards was trying to curry favor, his ambitions seed quite large.

However, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind. He had already decided to get involved in the affairs of the Capital city, so becoming friends with this officer would be beneficial and not harmful.

If the officer’s plans were in line with Pei Xuanjing’s interests, then Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t mind collaborating with him.

He paused, then said, “I will not go there, but since he’s like this, Brother Lin, you should interrogate him thoroughly to make sure nothing is overlooked.”

He declined Lin Qingyi’s invitation, considering that the Commanding Officer was just a pawn and it wasn’t worth Pei Xuanjing eting him in person. All he needed was for Lin Qingyi to extract so useful clues from him.

Lin Qingyi nodded and left.

In the following two days, the entire Tiandu was under martial law, and the inspections beca much stricter.

Every mont of the day, there were people from the Five Military Equipnt Departnt, Six Gates, the Two Factories, and the Brocade Guards patrolling the whole of Tiandu.

While no clues were sought concerning the MO Bei Three Wolves, many local ruffians, gangs, and the like were arrested.

Pei Xuanjing turned a deaf ear to these matters and practiced cultivation behind closed doors in the

Martial Academy.

On the evening of the third day, a carriage arrived at the entrance of the Martial Academy.

Pei Xuanjing boarded the carriage and headed to the residence of the Commanding Officer of the Brocade Guards.

It was said that this Commanding Officer, originally an ordinary military officer, was promoted after a series of fortunate events and had won the favor of the current emperor. He was even made a count not long ago, making him a favorite at the imperial court and considered as the emperor’s most loyal watchdog by others.

Upon Pei Xuanjing’s arrival, Lin Qingyi, who was waiting at the entrance, ushered him in.

As they walked through the main gate, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in crimson robes standing there. He bowed with his hands clasped and smiled, “I assu this is the famous Grandmaster Pei?”

Lin Qingyi respectfully introduced to Jiang Bin, “Commanding Officer, this is Mr. Pei from the Martial Academy, Grandmaster Pei.”

Pei Xuanjing respectfully clasped his hands and said, “The Commanding Officer is too kind; I’m not as famous as you suger.

Jiang Bin t Pei Xuanjing without any hint of arrogance, displaying great humility, “Please!”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, and they both entered the hall.

Once they were seated, waiting girls served tea and snacks.

Even though Pei Xuanjing and Jiang Bin were not familiar with each other, the presence of Lin Qingyi made the conversation flow smoothly. Coupled with Jiang Bin’s intention to befriend Pei Xuanjing, the atmosphere was pleasant.

“Mr. Pei is a young and talented individual. Your remarkable display of skills yesterday has left us all in awe.” Jiang Bin said to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing dismissively waved his hand, “Mr. Jiang, your praise is undue and leaves embarrassed.”

Jiang Bin’S face showed a hint of regret, “Not at all, it’S a pity that you are at the Martial Academy. Otherwise, I would’ve definitely tried to recruit you into the Brocade Guards.”

If it weren’t for the fact that Pei Xuanjing was in the Martial Academy, regardless of any circumstances, he would have tried to recruit him into the Brocade Guards.

A third -grade Grandmaster was indeed a rare talent, even for the Brocade Guards.

After a bit of small talk, Jiang Bin brought up a topic, “What are your views on the Court Situation, Mr.

“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjing paused, “The Court Situation is managed by high-ranking officials. It’s not appropriate for an ordinary man like to conjecture.”

Seeing Pei Xuanjing so cautious, Jiang Bin nodded secretly.

If Pei Xuanjing had really gone along with his words, he would have had to reconsider whether he should collaborate with Pei Xuanjing.

Being cautious and careful is never a mistake.

The things Jiang Bin wanted to do would be better off with fewer people involved; he definitely could not allow a reckless person to interfere.

Lin Qingyi, who had a keen sense of timing, spoke up, “Mr. Pei, I have so good news. Do you want to hear it?”

Before Pei Xuanjing could respond, Jiang Bin laughed and reprimanded, “You’re teasing us with your mystery.”

Lin Qingyi chuckled, then said, “Sir, Mr. Pei. I just received so news from my brothers. The commander of the Military Equipnt Departnt has confessed.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanjing, who had been sowhat distracted, perked up and looked at Lin Qingyi.

Originally, he hadn’t held out much hope, but he didn’t expect Lin Qingyi to actually extract a clue from that man. This piqued Pei Xuanjing’s curiosity.

Without beating around the bush, Lin Qingyi revealed the clue he had obtained..
