“…”

In the car.

Gu Wutong asked curiously, “Is there some special mission?”

“Nothing special, just going to have tea with the Governor and casually call the Secretary General of Central State,” Pei Jinye said offhand.

Hearing this, Gu Wutong chuckled sheepishly, his vision stealthily sweeping over Pei Jinye in the rearview mirror.

He secretly thought that Old Pei’s boasting was relentless, truly making people believe him if they didn’t pay close attention.

“We’re here.”

The car stopped within the city hall. Gu Wutong’s vehicle was preregistered, so they were directly allowed in.

He looked at Pei Jinye getting out of the car with suspicion.

“You’re really going to see the Governor?”

“Yeah, what, I would lie to you?”

“Then… go ahead, I won’t join you, lest I get nagged at again. Are we eating together at noon?”

“I’m busy at noon.”

“Alright then, wait for when you’re free, I’ll head off first, alright?”

In the end, Gu Wutong decided not to be a nuisance and, waving his hand, drove away.

…

Secretary Lin was waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Pei Jinye show up, he immediately walked over quickly: “The Governor is already waiting for you in his office…”

It seemed that today, Secretary Lin was a bit more restrained when facing Pei Jinye.

Without much thought, Pei Jinye asked, “Did something happen?”

Secretary Lin pointed upward: “There was a phone call.”

Pei Jinye understood, seemingly guessing what it was about.

Even the Knight Order had already called Lin Xiawei, so Mr. Han, as the Secretary General of Central State, how could he possibly not know about this matter?

It seemed that his mentor’s guess was right; the Gongsun Family from Southern Continent Nagano really did put pressure on Central State.

Pei Jinye arrived at the office.

Zhou Weiren signaled Secretary Lin to leave, and only after the door closed did he begin to impart earnest advice to his junior: “The Gongsun Family’s incident has blown up too much. That Chief Lin of yours… she was too impulsive. Killing one was enough, but she killed four in one go, and even wiped out the Gongsun heir. Now, it’s almost pandemonium over in Southern Continent, and it’s lucky there’s a sea separating us, or who knows what might have happened.”

“Actually…”

Pei Jinye was about to say the person he killed.

But Zhou Weiren waved his hand, “It doesn’t matter now. What’s done is done, I won’t say much more. That Chief Lin from the Investigation Team is quite forthright, admitting to it directly.”

He sighed.

In a low voice, Zhou Weiren said, “Mr. Han called specifically to inquire about this matter. I can tell you for certain that the Gongsun Family is indeed applying pressure, but for now, Mr. Han has stopped them.”

Pei Jinye looked up.

Zhou Weiren continued, “Mr. Han wants to talk to you personally, since only you and that Chief Lin know the truth about last night’s incident… and dealing with the Gongsun Family may also need to be handled delicately.”

“I’m to talk in person? Over the phone?” Pei Jinye asked.

“The helicopter is already prepared,” Zhou Weiren said softly.

Pei Jinye: “…”

…

Ten minutes later, the helicopter took off from the helipad, quickly becoming a small black dot in the sky.

“Governor…” Secretary Lin stood beside Zhou Weiren, his eyes questioning.

Zhou Weiren shook his head with a light chuckle, “Can you imagine, in such a short time, he has already grown to this extent…”

“But the Gongsun Family…” Secretary Lin was somewhat worried.

“It all depends on how much confidence that person has in him, after all, the Gongsun Family is from Southern Continent, beyond our reach…” Zhou Weiren turned around, “Erase all records of Pei Jinye’s whereabouts, no one is allowed to inquire.”

“Yes!”

…

Gu Wutong had just skived off to his private Cultivation Room. Before he even had the chance to change clothes and start practicing, an elder in a traditional Chinese gown rushed over upon receiving the front desk’s report.

“Young master.”

Gu Wutong handed over the sword without waiting for him to finish, “Hang it up.”

The elder in the traditional garb was taken aback.

“This is…”

“The Autumn Frost Sword, haha, can’t recognize it, can you?” Gu Wutong laughed and added, “Look at Pei Jinye, how magnanimous he is in his deeds. You were reluctant to lend the sword, but he didn’t hesitate to give a fine scabbard. Look at this craftsmanship; it’s at least that of a master.”

Examining the sword scabbard, the elder nodded inwardly.

Indeed, it was worthy of the Autumn Frost Sword.

This generosity was certainly grand.

But then thinking of that incident, the elder hurriedly packed up the sword, his expression anxious, “Young master, the old master has asked me to inquire, did you partake in the Gongsun Family’s matter or not?”

Hearing this, Gu Wutong looked up, carefully probing, “Do you think I’m incredibly badass?”

The elder’s expression changed slightly, “This is bad!”

Gu Wutong looked at him, not understanding.

With a serious tone, the elder said, “Young master, this is not the time for jokes. You know who died, the heir of the Gongsun Family… If I may say something blasphemous, if you were killed, the old master would want to tear the murderer limb from limb, so can you understand the fury of the Gongsun Family now? If you truly were involved, you need to come with me right now.”

“Alright, I admit I was just bragging just now,” Gu Wutong looked at him as he seriously insisted, feeling somewhat dispirited, “What’s with all this fuss? Gongsun Qianfeng was outclassed and deserved to die. Does the Gongsun Family really want revenge? Aren’t they afraid Star Ring will act directly against them?”

“A clear target is easy to avoid, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against, my dear young master…”

Gu Wutong was unconcerned about the elder’s words.

All he was thinking was…

If Old Pei wasn’t afraid, why should he be?

“Practice, practice fiercely. I want to reach Third Rank within a month!!! Then I’ll join Old Pei and go on a rampage… It’d be even better to bring Chief Lin along. She’s actually so powerful, I had no idea before…”
