The members of the Investigation Team seemed to recognize Li Xiaoyin. After the search concluded, a tall man with a smiling face came over to greet them.
“This is?”
He turned to Pei Jinye, who was with Li Xiaoyin, and asked hesitantly.
“My junior brother,” Li Xiaoyin said casually.
The other party didn’t say much, just smiled and nodded before taking his leave.
It wasn’t long before.
Whispers spread throughout the Bronze Association.
“Is Senior Lan really a member of the Old Gods Association?”
‘”Senior’, ha! Now he’s a fugitive. Aren’t you afraid of being associated with him?”
“I always felt that Lan Feng was no good, and now it’s confirmed!” someone exclaimed with deliberate loudness.
No wonder he was eager to distance himself.
Many among them had learned that Fang Tianjian, who was usually on good terms with Lan Feng, had also been interrogated by the Investigation Team. As to whether there was any connection, no one could be sure. However, the Fang Family had been moving frequently, attempting to protect one of the heirs of their main house.
Pei Jinye stood at the back of the crowd, listening to all of this with a calm expression.
Of course, he knew the truth.
But why bother meddling?
Li Xiaoyin took Pei Jinye to the cafeteria. Along the way, they were approached by an Outer Sect Disciple who seemed to be the younger brother of a friend of Li Xiaoyin, appearing somewhat close to her.
The disciple’s surname was Tang. Seeing the unusual relationship between Li Xiaoyin and Pei Jinye, he misunderstood something, but it didn’t stop him from showing goodwill towards Pei Jinye.
In an upscale villa area of Da Peng City.
A slender woman in a black dress stood with an incredulous look on her face.
“How could Xiao Feng be involved with the Old Gods Association? Impossible, I raised him myself, I know him better than anyone!”
In front of her, a middle-aged man in butler attire slightly lowered his gaze, not daring to make eye contact, and said gravely: “Madam, according to the information we have now, the Investigation Team must have obtained conclusive evidence to issue an arrest warrant so openly… Moreover, the master has already intervened, and the city hall won’t put you in a difficult position.”
“Find him!” Madam said coldly.
The middle-aged man nodded: “Madam, this matter requires the master’s authorization. Besides, this is related to the Old Gods Association…” “Whether he is dead or alive, I, as his sister, should know!” Madam said through clenched teeth.
The middle-aged man sighed, then picked up a strand of Lan Feng’s hair and began to activate his ability… his eyes turned white, as if he could peer through the void.
After a while.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes again.
Madam looked at him: “Did you find him?”
The middle-aged man hesitated: “Young Master Lan Feng… has not left Da Peng City.”
“Is he still alive? Can you sense his exact location?” Madam asked quickly.
The middle-aged man shook his head: “The distance is too far, I cannot confirm…
Suddenly, Madam asked: “If you can find out his location, does that mean the
Investigation Team can as well?”
The middle-aged man nodded: “However, removing all the items related to Young Master Lan Feng from the house may delay the time it takes for him to be found… It’s just that it’s uncertain if Young Master Lan Feng has left any biological traces elsewhere.”
Madam frowned: “Why hasn’t he left then?”
The middle-aged man hesitated: “Perhaps Young Master Lan Feng is being threatened by the Old Gods Association, but these are only guesses without seeing him. And Young Master Lan Feng must be aware of the warrant for his arrest, so he dares not contact you…”
Madam waved her hand wearily.
The middle-aged man bowed and withdrew.
At seven ten that evening.
Bronze Association.
When Pei Jinye finished his practice, he indeed saw a green orb appear before him.
He smirked slightly.
As expected!
Pei Jinye was about to touch it.
“Pei Jinye, Teacher Chang summons you,” suddenly, an Inhouse Student dressed in a deep blue martial robe called out from the entrance of the practice field.
The gazes of many Outer Sect Students inadvertently concentrated on them.
“Understood.” Pei Jinye rose gracefully, pretending to tie his shoelaces and extended his hand to touch the green light orb.
In an instant, a stream of information poured into his mind.
[Proficiency +100%]
He understood in his heart.
But he did not add anything for the moment.
He followed the Inhouse Student and they quickly made their way to the front courtyard one after the other.
In the corridor, there were noticeably more students today, perhaps due to the Investigation Team’s shocking evidence gathering in the afternoon, the discussions about Lan Feng were still ongoing.
“There are quite a number of Inhouse Students at the guildhall tonight. Once you’re inside, don’t look around carelessly to avoid offending them,” the Inhouse Disciple walking in front paused to turn his head and whispered a reminder.
Pei Jinye voiced his thanks.
On a normal day, he did not have much interaction with the Outer Sect Students, let alone Inhouse Students.
The other’s reminder was clearly not impulsive; it was probably related to Teacher Chang’s summons this time.
“May I know how to address my senior brother?”
“Xie Heng. I joined the guild only half a year before you,” the other replied with a smile.
Pei Jinye responded with modesty, “So it’s Senior Brother Xie.”
“We’re here.” Xie Heng silently signaled Pei Jinye to tidy up his appearance, then knocked on the door and led him into the room.
The two of them greeted Teacher Chang respectfully, who was seated.
Li Xiaoyin was also in the room, watching Pei Jinye with a beaming smile.
Next to her were six men and two women, all accompanying Teacher Chang, each one an Inhouse Student of the Bronze Association.
Teacher Chang picked up his teacup and sipped leisurely, his turbid eyes sweeping around the circle of students before he slowly spoke, “Pei Jinye.”
“Your student is here!” Pei Jinye quickly answered.
“Starting today, are you willing to join as an Inhouse of the Bronze Association?” Teacher Chang did not provide any prelude and asked directly.
Several Inhouse Students looked over, curious.
So sudden?
Some had heard that this new student came from a poor background… why would Teacher Chang suddenly take him as an Inhouse?
“Your student is willing!” Pei Jinye clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
Teacher Chang nodded, “Everyone seated here are your senior brothers and sisters. If you have any problems, go to them.”
As if suddenly remembering something, he asked casually, “By the way, what Extraordinary Body System have you awakened?”
The people beside were startled.
He’s an Awakener too?
Li Xiaoyin was even more surprised; she didn’t know that Pei Jinye had awakened, and her almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked at him.
Pei Jinye felt his scalp tingle, not expecting Teacher Chang to have noticed, and even less so for him to bring it up openly.
But he could understand.
After all, his background was clear to all, and the only thing that could make the senior brothers and sisters here take notice was potential.
In the end, it was all about value.
Teacher Chang was helping him.
“Psychic Class.” Pei Jinye answered honestly.
Teacher Chang smiled and looked towards a female student.
This student had fair skin, a naturally rosy complexion, and a less robust figure than Li Xiaoyin, but it was well-proportioned, with a subtly emerging charm.
“Jiang Lingsu, your family runs a business, and you have Cultivation Techniques for the Psychic Class, right? When your junior brother goes to purchase, it wouldn’t be a problem for you to look after him a bit, would it?”
Jiang Lingsu smiled sweetly, “You wouldn’t even need to mention it, Teacher. I would have taken care of him regardless.”
She looked towards Pei Jinye and said amiably, “I came in haste today.
Tomorrow morning I’ll give our junior brother a VIP card from Jiang Family
Business. From then on, he’ll only need to pay 85% when purchasing anything
in the Federation.”
Pei Jinye quickly expressed his gratitude, “That would be too kind of Senior Sister Jiang.”
Jiang Lingsu smiled sweetly, “Don’t mention it. But junior brother indeed has great potential. Psychic Class Transcendents are rare.”
Pei Jinye humbly said, “It’s just good fortune.”
Jiang Lingsu shook her head, “It’s not just luck. Apart from you, I’m afraid the only one in the Bronze Association who has awakened the Psychic Class is…” As she was speaking, she suddenly stopped.
Deciding to change the subject, she said decisively, “Junior brother’s future is boundless..”
