In the back hill, a low shout suddenly erupted.

Tang Huoyang threw his fists, directly aiming for Pei Jinye’s face and midsection.

While the momentum of this punch was formidable, the strength seemed a bit weak; Pei Jinye blocked with his shoulders and elbows, resisting the urge to use Black Tiger Scooping Heart, and instead clenched his fist and hammered down on Tang Huoyang’s shoulder.

Tang Huoyang let out a strange cry, activating his ability. Too late to turn around, he took the punch hard and flew out with a cry, landing on the ground clumsily like a frog, swallowing two mouthfuls of dirt.

“Aiyo, damn it!” Tang Huoyang rubbed his bones and incredulously lifted his head, “How long has it been since we last met? Just a day, wasn’t it? How did you get so freakishly strong already?”

Pei Jinye walked over and pulled him up, “Just had a bit of a lucky breakthrough.”

Tang Huoyang was astonished, then dusted the dirt off himself, muttering, “Truly monstrous.”

“Again?” Pei Jinye looked on, feeling itchy for a challenge.

But Tang Huoyang continuously shook his head, “No more, no more. I maximized my ability just now, and I still almost couldn’t withstand your strength. If we continue to fight… I’m afraid I won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun. Your growth rate is just too ridiculous.”

Pausing, he suddenly asked, “How did things go yesterday?”

“It’s settled,” Pei Jinye acknowledged what he was asking and nodded.

“Hahaha chaotically, as expected, that thing was made for freaks like you.” Tang Huoyang chuckled and slung an arm over Pei Jinye’s shoulder, “Come on, let’s go celebrate for you.”

Pei Jinye glanced at the time, laughing, “It’s only ten o’clock, too early for a meal, let’s train a little more.”

Tang Huoyang felt a chill down his spine, “Forget it, you train on your own. I’ll practice “Drawing Blood Art”. Damn, I used to be able to exchange a few moves with you, but now I can’t even last three, and in the future, I’ll probably not even last one. I really need to focus on my own practice.”

“If you concentrate, and train with me, you can definitely get stronger,” Pei Jinye suggested as he wrapped his hands with cloth and approached the wooden stake.

If only he had used his full strength just now, then Tang Huoyang couldn’t have withstood even one move.

Tang Huoyang made a sour face, “Too many mundane matters…”

There were some issues he was unable to articulate.

He didn’t speak, and Pei Jinye didn’t ask further.

At ten forty in the morning.

Pei Jinye stood up to go to the washroom in the guild hall for a shower.

Tang Huoyang was on the phone booking a private room at a restaurant.

Coming face to face, he saw a group of guild students gathered together talking noisily about something.

Yesterday during the elite exam, I heard that a person from Central State personally visited Da Peng City.”

“Really or not?”

“Ah, really, no wonder my family suddenly made contacts saying they wanted to visit… but it’s a pity we didn’t see the person.”

“But why would such an important figure come to our Da Peng City?”

“Don’t you know? This year, there were three people from Da Peng City who signed up for the exam, but it’s unclear who they are… I heard that all three potentials are very high, which attracted that person’s attention. Since he was nearby dealing with some matters, he popped by.”

“Who are those three?”

“I only know one of them is the Wei Family’s Wei Xianren. I saw their car leave yesterday. The information on the other two is encrypted.”

“No way, even with your family’s standing, you can’t see it?”

“Those who know have signed non-disclosure agreements. Only the Governor can access their files, my dad said.”

“By the way, did they pass?”

“Still unclear…”

“Impressive, our Da Peng City really hides dragons and crouching tigers.”

Pei Jinye passed by, and the discussions he heard fell to the back of his mind, gradually fading away.

For him.

Whether he knew early or found out late, the fact that he was S-level would eventually get out.

But before that, as long as he grew strong enough to kill those who wanted to harm him, that was all that mattered.

Pei Jinye didn’t consider himself to be a particularly cunning or perceptive person, so what he could do was to kill all his enemies, plain and simple.

Thinking about a solution was not as straightforward as directly taking care of the opponent… on this, Pei Jinye had always firmly believed.

They arrived at the restaurant, and a small incident occurred.

The private room Tang Huoyang reserved had been taken by someone else, and the restaurant manager seemed reluctant to offend the occupiers, so he claimed they had booked it in advance and it was a mistake at the reception. To express his apology, he offered them a 15% discount.

Tang Huoyang was not the type to care about money, but this was a matter of face. He was prepared to leave with Pei Jinye.

However, the door of the private room opened, and both Tang Huoyang and Pei Jinye cast their eyes over, making brief eye contact with the people inside.

Wei Xia!

That guy had been discharged from the hospital!

Tang Huoyang narrowed his eyes at the restaurant manager, “Is this your esteemed guest?”

With resignation in his heart, the manager could only grin and bear it, “Young Master Tang, truly, it’s our restaurant’s fault. How about I arrange another top-quality private room for you?”

With a playful expression, Tang Huoyang said, “You’re afraid of offending Wei Xia but not afraid to offend me? Old Ji, I’ve spent no less than several hundred thousand here, and even up to a million. And today you can’t give me this bit of face?”

The restaurant manager immediately whispered an apology, “Young Master Tang, it really isn’t that we are not giving you face…”

He sighed softly.

With a helpless tone, he said, “I don’t mean to speak ill of anyone, but when the knife is to my neck, what can I do? I’m just a poor worker; it’s not worth risking my life, right?”

“Forget it, Old Tang, let’s just find a room and have a meal,” Pei Jinye suggested from aside.

The restaurant manager, seeing him willing to speak up for him, quickly gave him a grateful look.

Tang Huoyang glanced at Pei Jinye and then back toward the private room—

“Tang Huoyang, Pei Jinye?” A girl’s voice came from the corridor.

Pei Jinye turned his head to look.

He remembered that the girl’s surname was Lan… As for her given name, he had forgotten.

He raised an eyebrow slightly.

If he remembered correctly,

wasn’t this girl almost taken advantage of by someone in the private room before? And now she’s dining with him again?

Was her heart too big, or what?

Pei Jinye nodded calmly.

He wasn’t too familiar with the other person.

But Tang Huoyang’s face didn’t look too good, “Lan Ranran, when did you get so close to Wei Xia?”

“I…” Lan Ranran’s face darkened, as if she had a lot to say, but she didn’t know how to start when the words reached her lips.

However, it was at that moment,

from the entrance of the private room, Wei Xia’s loud voice arrived, “What’s the meaning of this, Tang Huoyang? Is Lan Ranran not allowed to dine with me?”

He strode over,

his eyes narrowed as he looked at Lan Ranran.

Ever since he noticed Lan Ranran’s glances at Pei Jinye, the memory of the night when Pei Jinye scared him away began to incessantly attack his ego.

He stepped forward, came up to Lan Ranran, and in front of Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang, he slapped her across the face.

“Slut!”

Lan Ranran staggered, covering her face, and looked up in disbelief.

Tang Huoyang was also startled for a moment, then shouted angrily, “Wei Xia, have you lost your mind!”

Wei Xia glanced sidelong, completely disregarding Tang Huoyang’s words and instead looked triumphantly and mockingly at Pei Jinye, “Mr. Pei, can you save her a second time today? Why don’t you ask her who she’s going home with tonight?”

All the nearby people were somewhat uncertain and surprised.

Because the message contained in Wei Xia’s words was truly significant.

Even Tang Huoyang’s gaze suspiciously wavered between Pei Jinye and Lan Ranran.

Pei Jinye lifted his head and calmly looked at Wei Xia, “Are you, childish or not?”

Wei Xia’s complexion changed slightly.

Thinking of the warning his brother had personally given him last night, he felt even more unwilling to give in.

He turned his head to look at Lan Ranran.

“You choose.”

“I…” Lan Ranran was in turmoil, looking instinctively at Pei Jinye for help.

Wei Xia was furious, raised his hand to slap again but was stopped by someone.

Tang Huoyang pushed his hand away and shouted angrily, “Wei Xia, you’re going too far! Lan Ranran is my friend; you’d better show some respect!”

Wei Xia looked at him indifferently, then with a threatening gaze toward Lan Ranran.

“If you dare leave, your dad’s factory will close down today—the words are laid here!”

“Wei Shao!” Lan Ranran’s expression tense as if gathering her courage, “The reason I came today is to tell you that my dad is raising money, and we will definitely pay back the debt we owe to the Wei Family! If you really push too far, then we will see you in court!”

“Bitch!” Wei Xia, enraged, lifted his hand to slap her.

This time, Pei Jinye swung his hand, and Wei Xia staggered backward, crashing against the wall with a sharp pain in his shoulder blade.

Before Wei Xia could erupt with anger, Pei Jinye, with his calm gaze met his, “Hitting a woman is not a good habit, and, speaking of which, is this really the quality of the Wei Family? Aren’t you known as the number one family in Da Peng City?”

“Mr. Pei, what the hell are you!” Wei Xia roared with anger, moving forward as if to start a fight.

The restaurant manager, who had immediately called someone in the Wei Family when he saw trouble brewing, hurried over now, “Wei Shao, your family is on the phone.”

Wei Xia, frustrated and humiliated, glared at the manager, took the phone, and said, “Speak!”

The voice of Wei Xianren came from the other end of the phone, “The father already knows about the incident at the restaurant and has asked me to inform you to stop losing face outside, Pei Jinye might be worth our Wei Family’s bet. If you insist on provoking him and bring trouble to our Wei Family… Father said, then you can get out of the Wei Family.”

Wei Xia’s face changed abruptly.

The call from the other end had already been disconnected.

His face looking ugly, he stared at Pei Jinye, and finally, with great force, he threw the phone onto the manager’s body and walked out, flinging his sleeves.

“Wei Shao!”

The young men and women who had come for the meal with Wei Xia looked at each other, with some already following him hastily.

The restaurant manager cautiously looked at Pei Jinye’s unfamiliar face.

Even though he didn’t know exactly what Pei Jinye’s identity was, seeing him stand up to Wei Xia and even come out victorious was proof enough of his influence.

His attitude became even more respectful.

“Mr. Tang, shall I tidy up this private room for you?”

Tang Huoyang looked at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye nodded in boredom.

Just as he was about to leave, a hesitant voice suddenly came from beside him.

“Pei Jinye…”

He turned to look.

Lan Ranran was fidgeting with her hands, bowing her head with some difficulty, “About today… thank you.”

After speaking, the girl turned around and left quickly.

Pei Jinye pulled his gaze back calmly.

But Tang Huoyang looked “indignant,” “That’s too much, mate, I helped her just now too, why did she only thank you and not me?”

“Stop whining; so much trouble just to eat a meal.”

Pei Jinye walked into the private room, pulled out a chair, and the rest of the people in the room, seeming a bit intimidated by Pei Jinye, the stranger who had scared Wei Xia away, also quickly left hand in hand.

Tang Huoyang sat next to Pei Jinye, musing, “This is the first time I’ve heard about Lan Ranran’s family situation… but that girl sure has guts, daring to dine with Wei Xia.”

Pei Jinye heard him and looked over, sensing an undercurrent to Tang Huoyang’s words.
