Chapter 213: [179] Blacklist No. 77 Beast Pet Master, Kill! (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1

Lunch was over.

Pei Jinye, as usual, took off.

Brother Bi sat in the car, watching the suave manner in which Jinye left, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

“Zhou Ye, do you think I’ve been a bad influence on Jinye?”

Damn, you just realized that???

Zhou Ye cleared his throat with a cough and said with a smile, “Not at all. You’ve taught him very well.”

“Really? I also think I’ve taught him pretty well.”

“…”

…

Twelve twenty-seven.

Inside a martial arts gym in the center of Da Peng City.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Two figures were entwined in combat.

About two minutes later, one of them wailed as he backed away, and the other, exasperated, looked up and said, “Come on, continue.”

“Damn it, I’m not fighting if I can’t beat you.” Tang Huoyang waved his hands again and again, “How long has it been since we last met, and your bones have become harder than adamantium?”

Pei Jinye shook his head, picking up his clothes: “Been slacking off lately?”

Tang Huoyang let out an embarrassed laugh, changing the subject: “You haven’t been to the gym in a while. Teacher Chang even asked about you at the back mountain yesterday.”

“Asked about me?” Pei Jinye scoffed internally.

Is the old guy worried I’d take off?

“What did he say?”

“He didn’t say much, just wanted to know if you were slacking off. Ha, ha, you don’t look like you’ve been slacking off.” Tang Huoyang walked over, grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler, and threw it to him.

Pei Jinye took the water and gulped down a few mouthfuls: “He didn’t ask anything else?”

Tang Huoyang thought for a moment, “I don’t think so… oh right, he said if you show up, to let you know that the cultivation continuation of “Twelve Lotuses” also requires some herbs, and he’ll personally prepare them for you next time you visit.”

“Okay, I’ll see when I have time,” Pei Jinye said while showing no signs of concern.

But if he hadn’t sparred with Teacher Chang before, he might have truly fallen for that old man’s trick.

“By the way, did you hear?” Tang Huoyang took a sip of water and said.

“What?” Pei Jinye put down the water bottle.

“Wei Xia’s younger brother might be going to Judgement Place.”

“To Judgement Place?” Pei Jinye acted as if he just heard the news, “What’s so great about that hellhole?”

“Hahaha, you and my brother said almost the same thing.” Tang Huoyang couldn’t help but laugh out loudly, “Although there are many rules at Judgement Place and it feels a bit otherworldly, their name still carries weight, having territory on the Five Continents.”

Pei Jinye was of course aware of these things, but at the moment, he just let Tang Huoyang have his fun.

“The Wei Family has always wanted to rise higher. This time Wei Xia’s brother, what’s his name, Wei Yanren, I heard he has some talent, something to do with the Element Series, so he might actually make it in.”

Pei Jinye nearly spit out the water he just drank.

Wei Yanren… Brother Yang sure knows how to name someone.

“So if that Wei kid joins Judgement Place, will the Wei Family definitely get to climb up?” Pei Jinye asked.

“How should I put it, maybe some at city hall might give the Wei Family face on account of Judgement Place, it’s hard to say,” Tang Huoyang wasn’t optimistic about it: “If there’s nobody at Judgement Place willing to smooth things over for him, it won’t be much use, I heard…”

Tang Huoyang lowered his voice: “I heard that the person dispatched by Judgement Place to our Da Peng City is a tough nut to crack. I think this situation is iffy.”

Pei Jinye, feigning naivety, nodded: “Yeah, you’re right.”

“Got any plans for the afternoon? Sun Ruofan said she wasn’t able to reach you recently, she asked if you’re free. There’s a gathering at her place this afternoon, mostly close friends attending.”

“I’ve been pretty busy lately.”

Pei Jinye politely declined.

Tang Huoyang wasn’t surprised, just shook his head with a smile: “But why don’t you at least answer calls? The girl even secretly asked me if she had offended you in any way.”

Pei Jinye: “…”

He took out his phone silently.

Only then did he notice the missed calls, most of which were from when he was undercover at the Jiang family. At those times, he would use his Heavenly Calculation ability to block other calls, so naturally, he wouldn’t have been able to answer.

“Bad timing, I was busy with missions then.”

“You… that…” Tang Huoyang hesitated: “There’s no danger, right?”

After a pause, before Pei Jinye could answer, he sighed and said: “Honestly, I really admire you. If it was me, I couldn’t do what you do… I won’t pry into your business, just take care of yourself.”

He had always been well protected by his father and older brother, accustomed to peaceful years, so he truly respected the courage and nerve of Pei Jinye to charge headfirst into danger.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye turned his head towards him, clapped him on the shoulder, and said softly with a chuckle, “That’s heartfelt.”

…

Tang Huoyang watched Pei Jinye leave, the clear sunlight falling on the mottled asphalt road.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze.

An unexpected figure appeared beside him.

“Brother, do you think Old Pei could someday become a bigshot in the Federation?”

“All I know is your credit card has been stopped.”

The complacent expression on Tang Huoyang’s face collapsed instantly.

“Crap, why?”

“Dad says you’ve been partying hard every night recently, even regressing in your martial arts, so he won’t unblock it until you’ve improved.”

“…Crap!”
