“So you’re really fine, that day…” Silver Art seemed to have a lot to say.
Pei Jinye, wearing the familiar Ghost Face Mask, nodded and indicated, “Initially, I was injured by Xu Tian and took a long time to recuperate. By the time I woke up, I had already lost track of you all… Our emergency contact methods had also become invalid.”
“Because Heavenly Calculation is dead,” Silver Art said and then suddenly stopped. “Did you know, Black Shark is dead too?”
“He’s dead too?” Pei Jinye said in surprise. “Were you the only one who escaped back then?”
“No, no, he escaped with me. We had only been in Da Peng City for a few days when he disappeared… Later, after confirmation from headquarters, we were sure that someone had taken him out,” Silver Art said with a sigh. “In addition to completing the task given by the elder, we also came to try to find your whereabouts. How have you been?”
It was more than fine…
“Ah, it’s a long story,” Pei Jinye said with a sigh.
However, Silver Art misunderstood.
“You’ve had a hard time.”
“…”
…
As the two were chatting, Hong Luo, standing not far away, pretended to squat on the mountaintop, fiddling with a stalk of foxtail grass, but pricked up her ears, trying to eavesdrop on something.
…
“Her name is Hong Luo.”
“Hmm.”
“Demon King.”
“Huh?”
“Why did you come here?”
“I thought you would say ‘long time no see’,” Pei Jinye said with a laugh as he looked over, Silver Art cocked his head, “Actually… I really missed you.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.
In his mind, Silver Art’s missing him had nothing to do with romantic feelings.
There was a smile between his brows.
He diverted the subject, “Did you come here to find trouble with the Jiang family?”
“What were we here to do again?” Silver Art was confused for a moment before remembering, “Oh that’s right, the elder said there’s something very important here… If it weren’t for Black Shark’s assassination, the Jiang family’s matters would not have been delayed until now.”
While they were speaking.
Suddenly, Hong Luo stood up. “The elder is here.”
Silver Art turned back to look.
Pei Jinye sighed in his heart.
What was bound to come, would come in the end.
The last time he met the elder was amidst the bloodshed at the Jiang family’s place, and this time it was just in the woods not far from the Jiang ancestral home.
They were less than a kilometer apart from each other.
“Elder,” Pei Jinye nodded slightly in greeting, his hands forming a respectful gesture.
The Faceless elder, dressed immaculately in a suit, with a pocket watch hanging from his chest and a cane in his hand… one wouldn’t know what kind of a distinguished elderly gentleman he was.
Only those who truly knew the strength of this old man understood how terrifying he was.
About ten meters apart.
The two of them locked gazes.
“You may leave.”
“Yes, elder,” even Silver Art, who was generally talkative, didn’t dare to be rash and retreated obediently.
“Elder,” Pei Jinye looked up, wanting to say something.
But all of a sudden.
The Faceless elder’s figure vanished from its place.
The cane in his hand suddenly thrust forward.
Pei Jinye’s figure shot back.
But the cane thrusting towards him couldn’t be shaken off no matter what.
His hands came together.
Suddenly, in mid-air, he caught the cane.
Only the next second, a “bang” noise dispersed the dust between the two.
Pei Jinye slid back tens of meters before he was able to stop himself.
Looking up,
The elder was wearing a white faceless mask, but the eyes beneath the mask seemed to smile, “If you used your full strength, you wouldn’t be so embarrassed.”
“You flatter me, elder,” Pei Jinye responded succinctly.
The elder withdrew his gaze, looking towards the side of the Jiang family, “Do you wish to protect them?”
“Yes,” Pei Jinye said stiffly.
The elder did not speak.
Under the night sky, the cold wind cut to the bone.
Yet Pei Jinye remained unbothered.
“Forget it,” the elder turned around and said, “It seems you already know about the Jiang family’s treasure. Given that, I will not interfere… You will act as a hidden player, waiting for the summon. I won’t announce you without an important matter, and the new way to contact headquarters will be communicated to you by Silver Art. This month, we have lost too many elites.”
The last word lingered in the air as the elder’s figure had already disappeared.
Pei Jinye was stunned.
He had hoped the elder would help him retrieve that Little Sword, but the man didn’t wait for him to finish speaking before he left.
But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
If they really went to the ancestral temple, with the elder’s strength, he would likely easily discover the Giant Python hidden away in “hibernation.”
“The gentle flap of a butterfly’s wings nearly flipped me into idiocy,” Pei Jinye said with a bitter smile, not sure whether he was creating his own problems.
…
On the other side, Silver Art had already received instructions and informed Pei Jinye of the new contact methods and emergency meeting spots. Without much conversation, the three parted ways.
Once Pei Jinye had left, Hong Luo could no longer contain her agitation and began to press Silver Art for information.
“Sister, is he the Demon King? Does he belong to the Space Series?”
“The elder wanted to meet him in person; that’s a huge honor. Do you know anything about his background?”
The two figures leapt a few times in the woods and then disappeared.
Shortly after,
A figure emerged from the shadows.
Turning around,
It was Pei Jinye who had left and come back again.
In a blink,
He appeared within the back mountain of the Jiang family.
The Bluebird, lively, opened its eyes as it recognized Pei Jinye’s Vitality.
It spread its wings and landed swiftly on his shoulder.
Pei Jinye whispered to it.
Following the Bluebird’s reminder, he found the large figure by the lakeside, its waist swollen as if it had just swallowed a cow…
“Hiss hiss (Eat),” Pei Jinye was amused.
“Always dreaming about eating, you must really be spoiled,” he said, gently petting the small head of the Bluebird on his shoulder, “Keep a close eye on it.”
The Bluebird chirped in response, seemingly complaining.
“`
A few chuckles were barely suppressed in the wind.
…
The next morning, at dawn.
Inside the first hospital.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the floor in front of the hospital bed, forming a circle of light.
The door was twisted open.
Brother Bi appeared, holding a basin of water, and personally wiped Pei Jinye’s face and arms.
Before long, Zhou Ye also rushed to the ward and whispered, “Brother Bi, there’s news from the group.”
Brother Bi wrung out the towel, “Let’s talk outside.”
Zhou Ye followed out.
Standing at the staircase, Zhou Ye whispered, “The team has verified it, there is no issue with the Night Patrol Department. That D-level Feeble Beast is an alien beast that the neighboring city has been inspecting recently. Xing Tian has already simulated the escape route, and there’s no conspiracy involved.”
Brother Bi was silent.
“Our luck doesn’t seem to be very good,” Zhou Ye also sighed.
At that moment, Brother Bi suddenly received a notification.
“Pei Jinye is awake.”
“Brother Bi? Zhou Ye?” Pei Jinye’s eyes were bewildered, “Where am I?”
“How many fingers am I holding up?” Brother Bi held up two fingers.
…
The doctor hurried over with the nurses and re-examined Pei Jinye.
It was then finally declared that Pei Jinye was not in any serious danger, but he needed to rest quietly for a short term and return for a follow-up examination in half a month.
After discharge.
Brother Bi was relieved, “Thank goodness you’re alright, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to explain it to your family.”
Zhou Ye proposed by the side to go out for lunch, but before he could finish, Brother Bi punched him.
“Go out for what, didn’t you hear what the doctor said about needing rest.”
Zhou Ye gave an embarrassed smile, “We’ll gather once Jinye is fully recovered.”
Brother Bi turned to Pei Jinye and spoke gently, “You should rest at home for now. I’ve already spoken to Old Qiu about the group’s situation, and the paperwork for you has been approved.”
“Brother Bi, thanks.”
“Thanks for nothing, if it weren’t for you yesterday, Zhou Ye or I might be in an urn right now,” Brother Bi shook his head.
Zhou Ye coughed dryly, “Let’s not talk about it, it’s kind of scary.”
“Coward.”
Brother Bi drove Pei Jinye home, then returned to the Investigation Team with Zhou Ye.
…
When he got home, Pei Jinye found both his parents at home and was inevitably surprised.
“You didn’t go to East Street today?”
“Your dad said something came up, we were about to call you,” Mother Pei said with a smile.
Father Pei came out of the bedroom holding a stack of papers, and upon seeing Pei Jinye, smiled and talked about his investments over the past two days.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle.
Deals worth hundreds of thousands were nothing to fuss over.
However, looking at the stores Father Pei invested in, they just happened to be in the center of Jiang family’s upcoming development. In time, these places would surely surge in value,
Investing a few hundred thousand could easily quadruple in value without a problem.
“By the way, Dad, have you eaten hot pot before?”
“Yes, why do you ask?”
“Do you know how much it costs for one person at Haidilao?”
“That would be a few thousand, wouldn’t it? If it’s from the deep sea, it probably wouldn’t be worth the effort to haul it up. Who are you planning to fish for?”
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle.
Then let’s expand and strengthen the different world version of Dahailao!
Father Pei was actually well-suited for business, but he had been busy dealing with the awakening of Pei Jinye all these years, and that had taken its toll.
Now, with just a simple explanation from Pei Jinye, Father Pei instantly got it.
At nine in the morning.
Pei Jinye made an excuse to leave.
Before long.
He appeared as “Jiang Qingcang” within the back mountain of Jiang’s family.
He hadn’t arrived for breakfast this morning, worrying the middle-aged butler sick.
Seeing the old master reappear, the middle-aged butler hurried forward to greet him, showing great concern for his health.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine, just got held up by cultivation,” Pei Jinye lied.
After telling so many lies, Pei Jinye could hardly tell which ones were true and which were false anymore.
Ignoring the concerned look from the middle-aged butler, he calmly began to eat.
Thirty minutes later.
He was at the back mountain, commencing his cultivation.
With the increasing number of techniques to master, the more there was to practice.
The merging of Breaking the limit level techniques had shown him a new path to improvement.
As his Proficiency continuously piled up, Pei Jinye’s understanding of the techniques deepened ever more.
Meanwhile, cultivation related to Vitality and spiritual power couldn’t be neglected.
The medicinal bath materials needed for Blood Refining that he had ordered yesterday had already been prepared by the butler in advance.
So after his training at the back mountain ended.
Pei Jinye began his medicated bath.
The steamed vapours filled the washroom, and under the constant temperature, Pei Jinye felt most comfortable.
In the medicated water, the medicinal power continuously penetrated into his body.
His Vitality quickly felt like a furnace boiling and burning, with impurities in his blood being incinerated.
Half an hour later.
All the medicinal power in the water was absorbed.
Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.
The attribute panel displayed clearly—
[Blood Refining First Layer: 55%]
Even better than the first Blood Refining effect!
Although the effectiveness of subsequent practice would diminish, Pei Jinye was not at all anxious, as he had firmly stepped onto the first rung of the ladder, and even with diminishing returns, he was still progressing faster than the last advancement.
After changing into a set of clean, brand-new robes, Pei Jinye stepped out of the bathroom.
Jiang Qingcang’s clothes would be swapped for new ones every day, with ten options prepared for him to choose from.
As for the old clothes, they would be uniformly destroyed to prevent the old master’s biological information from being stolen by others.
…
During lunch.
The middle-aged butler reported on the Jiang family’s business while accompanying him.
Pei Jinye inquired, “Push forward with the business center’s plans as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Master.”
