Tang Huoyang looked suspiciously at Pei Jinye and exchanged a glance with him. Before he could stand up to open the door, Fang Tianjian had already opened it and stood at the doorway, not entering, his gaze skipping over Tang Huoyang to Pei Jinye: “Junior brother, what a coincidence.”

Pei Jinye nodded woodenly: “Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.” Fang Tianjian looked expectant.

But all Pei Jinye did was utter an “oh.”

Fang Tianjian’s mouth twitched slightly, “Then you guys go ahead and eat, I’ll look for you later, I have something.”

He nodded, closed the door, and stepped back out.

Tang Huoyang looked at him suspiciously: “What does that guy want with you?”

“Don’t know.” Pei Jinye appeared unconcerned as he chewed up even the fish bones in his mouth, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

Ever since he began cultivating “Twelve Lotuses,” Pei Jinye had found himself craving intensely for foods that were rich in nourishment.

It wasn’t that his cultivation method was crooked or evil.

It was purely because he felt the power that came with robust vitality, whether it was from his fight to the death with Wei Xia the previous night or the sense of power he once again felt from Teacher Chang today.

Strength left Pei Jinye almost obsessed.

It’s worth mentioning that Pei Jinye had now discovered that after devouring certain Transcendent substances, the slipping of his vitality had significantly reduced.

In the past, it would decrease by three or five points at a time.

But yesterday, it dropped by only one point, and today he was close to breaking the upper limit again.

The effects of “Twelve Lotuses” were simply ridiculously strong…

“However, is this because I have too many Transcendent abilities, or is it really because of ‘Twelve Lotuses’? Then, what lotus has Teacher Chang cultivated to?”

While Pei Jinye was curious about Teacher Chang, he also maintained his vigilance.

“Does truly unconditional good exist in this world?”

Two blood-red carps were eaten.

Vitality limit quickly increased by 2 points!

He was getting closer and closer to 20 points.

Pei Jinye felt his vitality becoming restless and casually suppressed it.

Not bad, his strength had increased a little bit more.

“Gu Shaoshang, male, 26 years old, joined Sky God International five years ago and is one of the infamous Thirteen Protectors of Sky God International. Based on the current analysis of available intelligence, the suspect’s Extraordinary Ability happens to belong to the Body Technique System…”

The intelligence officer of the Night Patrol Department played a video clip supplied by Xing Tian.

Behind him, the Captain of the Night Patrol’s Ninth Squadron stared intently at the screen, then turned his head to ask: “What do you think?”

The young man behind him was silent: “Do you really think Sky God International is behind this?”

The Captain of the Ninth Squadron shook his head: “I don’t know, but surveillance doesn’t lie.”

“Surveillance won’t lie, but that doesn’t mean it reveals the truth…” the young man chuckled lightly, “How is your contact with Sky God International?”

“Tang Wudi personally led a team there,” the Captain spoke with a strange tone.

“Tang Wudi?” The young man turned his head thoughtfully, as if he remembered someone: “Is he in Da Peng City now?”

“Yes, he just returned this morning,” the Captain of the Ninth Squadron said regretfully: “I didn’t expect him to come back so quickly after being sent on an assignment. Why, do you know him?”

The young man just smiled playfully.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Tian and Tang Wudi’s relationship wasn’t exactly friendly.

When they met, conflict was almost inevitable.

Truthfully, the young man was looking forward to the scene of Xu Tian meeting Tang Wudi, as he felt Tang Wudi might even be more troublesome than some of the crazies from Judgement Place.

Just then, an encrypted reply report came from Tang Wudi’s side, and the staff turned to say, “Chief, Xing Tian has a decrypted message.”

“Sky God International cannot verify Gu Shaoshang’s whereabouts last night but they insist that Wei Xia’s death has nothing to do with them.”

“Just because he says it’s unrelated, doesn’t mean it is. Has any murderer ever admitted to their crime?” sneered the Captain of the Ninth Squadron, “Where is Gu Shaoshang? Did Captain Tang bring him back?”

“No, Sky God International confirmed that Gu Shaoshang left Peng City the day before, and his whereabouts last night can’t be confirmed… Additionally, Xing Tian determines that Sky God International is deliberately concealing Gu Shaoshang’s whereabouts.”

The Captain of the Ninth Squadron frowned: “What the hell is Sky God International up to!”

He looked up at the young man: “Have you been to Xu Tian’s side? What did Judgement Place say?”

“Judgement Place has appointed him to review and assess a disciple of the Wei Family. He won’t be available anytime soon.” The young man calmly returned his gaze and stopped analyzing the surveillance footage: “But the poor guy is also unlucky, not knowing who he offended. He lost an arm, a lot of vitality, and his strength has dropped by at least three levels. However, Judgement Place has already sent over a master…”

Since this matter had nothing to do with Pei Jinye, he lost much of his interest in delving deeper, left a message before departing: “Let the Night Patrol Department handle this, the upper echelons are very concerned about Pei Jinye, no groundless speculation will be tolerated.”

“I know the limits. The things targeted at Pei Jinye have always been led by Xu Tian and aren’t related to us,” said the Captain of the Ninth Squadron helplessly. However, Xu Tian was still in the hospital and probably wouldn’t be able to come out any time soon.

After watching the young man leave, he turned to his subordinate: “Apply for permission to track down Gu Shaoshang’s whereabouts.”

“Yes!”

“Junior brother, are you interested in joining the Formula Foundation?” Fang Tianjian said with an unruffled smile: “It is personally established by the Fang Family’s main house, mainly to support young talent. I would like to recommend you to join.”

The expression of Tang Huoyang, behind Pei Jinye, changed slightly. The Fang Family had indeed managed to get through the relationship with the city government and established this foundation.

However, considering the pressure on Pei Jinye, he made an excuse to leave, giving the two ample time to discuss.

Fang Tianjian did not pay attention to Tang Huoyang’s changing expression, but smiled at Pei Jinye, “If junior brother accepts, I can guarantee that every month you will have the support of two Blood-red Carps, and every week there will be dedicated martial artists to guide you in body training.”

He paused.

He added, “As fellow sect members, I’m of course willing to take care of junior brother Pei. Thus, I can personally add on ten jin of Black Blood Beast Meat every month.”

To say the least, the offer Fang Tianjian put forth was indeed very generous, amounting to expenses of several hundred thousand per month spent on Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised and said with a smile, “Senior brother only talks about the benefits and not the price, which makes me feel quite uneasy.”

“As fellow sect members, how could I possibly harm my junior brother?” Fang Tianjian said softly, with sincerity in his voice, “The Fang Family is willing to spend four years nurturing junior brother. All you need to do is to join the enterprises of the Fang Family upon graduation, and just sign a 20-year work agreement.”

“A deed of sale?” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.

“Junior brother’s words are too severe,” Fang Tianjian shook his head, “Over the course of four years, the Fang Family will increase our investment in you as the situation requires. After four years, when you join the enterprise, the treatment will definitely not be the same as that given to a common graduate. You’ll undoubtedly be in a mid-to-high level position, and it’s not impossible that after the four years, you might suddenly become the controller of one of the industries of the Fang Family.”

What a huge promise…

Yet Pei Jinye was not at all tempted.

Seeing Pei Jinye’s indifferent reaction, Fang Tianjian finally felt a bit perplexed and said pensively, “I can responsibly say that what our Formula Foundation can offer, the Tang Family definitely cannot afford. Plus, I can guarantee that if junior brother joins our foundation, issues concerning your accommodations, food, and clothing will not be a problem, including those of your parents… Not to mention an East Street, the revenue from any given jurisdiction under the Fang Family easily surpasses that.”

“Come on, join us,” Fang Tianjian said with a beaming face, “I’m absolutely not kidding; I really admire you. As for some rumors outside, you don’t have to take them seriously. I’m not the type engrossed in romantic affairs, so you don’t need to worry about how I might treat you, nor would I stoop to that level.”

To be honest, if Pei Jinye hadn’t talked to Mr. Han, he might truly have considered discussing these conditions with Fang Tianjian.

But now…

How could the Fang Family compare to Mr. Han, who stood at the peak of Central Continent Mountain?

Having experienced the incident with Xu Tian, Pei Jinye was clear that many had died by his hand, and he needed to possess some deterrent to fend off those hyenas that might see him as a suspect.

The more he felt the omnipresence of the elite classes, the more Pei Jinye realized how important it was to have an identity that could invisibly block a lot of troubles for him.

Of course, having such an identity would undoubtedly put him in the sights of certain people…

But that was exactly what motivated Pei Jinye to keep getting stronger.

On the other hand, the Fang Family had taken so long and still didn’t know about his performance in the elite assessment…

The fact that they hadn’t even uncovered this confidential information proved the Fang Family’s insignificance within Central State.

Were the wealthy families of Da Peng City really what one would call ‘powerful households’?

Pei Jinye meant no disrespect to Fang Tianjian, but now to sell himself for these conditions… it was unwarranted and unnecessary.

Fang Tianjian was somewhat dissatisfied with Pei Jinye’s silence.

However, he still managed a smile and said, “No matter, you can think it over and let me know at any time. I have friends waiting for me, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Fang Tianjian left just as Tang Huoyang returned from his escapist bathroom break.

But he didn’t say a word, simply brushing past him.

Tang Huoyang couldn’t help but suddenly call out, “Are you serious?”

Fang Tianjian stopped and turned back, looking perplexed, “Otherwise?”

After that, he retracted his gaze and strode away from the corridor.

Tang Huoyang retracted his gaze, standing at the door, suddenly feeling nervous.

In terms of strength, his Tang Family was indeed inferior to the Fang Family.

Moreover, in a certain sense, there was some overlap in the businesses of the two families.

He pushed open the door.

Pei Jinye looked up, and Tang Huoyang’s smile was forced, “Old Pei, water flows downwards, people ascend. I’ve heard about that foundation of the Fang Family you…”

“Can I add more food? I didn’t eat enough.” Pei Jinye gestured.

Tang Huoyang was taken aback.

“Can do…” he looked over strangely, thinking Pei Jinye didn’t want to say more, so he asked no further and called a waitress over for Pei Jinye to order.

“The food’s always tastier when Old Tang is paying,” Pei Jinye said with a smile.

Tang Huoyang looked bafflingly, unsure if his assumptions matched reality.

After the waitress left, Pei Jinye casually mentioned, “For now, I’m not interested in joining their Fang Family.”

Tang Huoyang zoned out for a moment, then held back a smile and gave a thumbs-up, “That’s the spirit.”

For some reason, he suddenly felt a weight lifted from his chest.

If Pei Jinye had really gone to the Fang Family…

Who knows how long it would be before the two of them had to part ways.

Such were the choices in camps.

There was nothing he could do about it.

But fortunately… Pei Jinye didn’t disappoint him.

“Is it enough? Should we order more meat?”

“Old Tang, you sure change your tune fast, huh?”

“You tell me! Good brothers are there to look out for each other!”

“Why do you talk so effeminately?”

“Damn it!!!”
