“To take a leak,”
said Pei Jinye, without turning his head.
Liu Limin was immediately baffled.
Don’t we have one in the dormitory?
While he was still thinking, Zhong Taishu suddenly stood up as well.
Liu Limin couldn’t help but ask again, “Are you going out to take a leak too?”
“Uh-huh.”
Zhong Taishu yawned and left the dormitory.
Liu Limin was dumbfounded on the spot.
His gaze drifted toward the dormitory bathroom unconsciously.
Why are they all thinking of going out?
It couldn’t be…
There isn’t something dirty in there, is there?
Hiss!!!
…
Pei Jinye hadn’t yet left the school’s main gate when he ran into Lin Xiuxian, who was slowly entering from outside.
Lin Xiuxian saw him as well: “No need to go to the Investigation Team, I’ve already taken care of it.”
Pei Jinye was taken aback.
It was at this moment.
Xing Tian sent a message through the private chat channel: “Just now, the head of Dragon City Martial University Research Institute, Lin Xiuxian, made a trip to the Eastern Continent Investigation Team and caused a big scene. From now on, they won’t dare to mess with you.”
Hearing this, Pei Jinye looked at Lin Xiuxian with some surprise.
Lin Xiuxian, acting as if he had just done a trivial thing, did not mention his actions at all but ferociously said, “Get up at four in the morning for the test, why aren’t you rolling back to rest and building up your energy? Do you really think you can take first place?”
Pei Jinye was not intimidated by him and laughed: “Principal, next time you go, why not bring me along to get a few kicks in as well?”
Lin Xiuxian was caught off guard: “You little–”
Before he could finish,
Pei Jinye thanked him and left.
Lin Xiuxian stood there, smacking his lips: “Goodness, this year’s freshmen are a bit tough to manage. They’re still not fierce enough…”
“They need to be even fiercer!”
…
“You’re out for a leak too?”
Pei Jinye saw Zhong Taishu hurrying towards him.
Zhong Taishu gave an awkward laugh and made a gesture of spreading his arms wide: “Just out for a run haha, I’m running.”
“Then keep it up.”
Pei Jinye nodded his head.
If it hadn’t been for Lin Xiuxian being nearby, he would have made a move already.
Zhong Taishu pretended to run a few steps but then turned to look back at Pei Jinye walking towards the dormitory, hesitating.
Following him now wouldn’t be too obvious?
“What a hassle, why did they have to pick me for this task? I just want to study, I really only want to study…”,
Then a sudden “slap.”
A hand landed squarely on the back of his neck.
Instantly,
Zhong Taishu was like a cat that had its tail stepped on.
His hair stood on end.
He lashed out in an instant.
However, the person easily blocked his move and quickly threw him to the ground.
“Pr-Principal?”
Zhong Taishu finally saw the person and stuttered out.
Lin Xiuxian scolded irritably, “What are you wandering around for in the middle of the night? What bad thing are you thinking of doing, speak!”
“I… I…” Zhong Taishu was scared stiff, stammering.
Lin Xiuxian suddenly looked to one side, his gaze flickering, and scolded, “Get lost! If you dare to be late tomorrow, I’ll break your legs!”
Zhong Taishu scurried away.
Lin Xiuxian stood there, gazing solemnly toward the girls’ dormitory and muttered as if to himself, “I don’t care what you from the Knight Order are planning to do, as long as you are in the Research Institute, you’re all my students. When you can beat me, then think about changing my rules; otherwise… even if your captain comes, I’ll whip him into submission!”
After saying that he turned and left.
In a shadowy corner of the girls’ dormitory,
Situ Liyue was sweating profusely as if she had just escaped a life-or-death peril.
She gritted her teeth for a moment.
Then, with her head lowered, she quickly sent out a message.
She waited over a minute,
and her phone received a response.
“The Investigation Team is currently investigating him, for now just observe, don’t take any offensive action.”
Situ Liyue was startled.
“Does he… really have a problem?”
The responder quickly sent back a message: “Sometimes, it’s not necessarily that there’s a problem, but rather that some people don’t like him.”
Situ Liyue fell silent,
suddenly feeling a sense of regret for Pei Jinye.
She had investigated Pei Jinye.
At first, when he was chosen by a former member of parliament in Central State, he was the center of attention.
But as the vast forces of the former member of parliament defected and with the disappearance of the Old Dragon King, the current Pei Jinye was like a lost dog without an owner.
Situ Liyue knew that this description was somewhat unpleasant,
but in reality, some of the higher-ups indeed had such an opinion of Pei Jinye.
The reason their Knight Order was investigating Pei Jinye was indeed because of his third senior brother.
It had been confirmed that Pei Jinye’s third senior brother had joined the Starfire Army… With the Old Dragon King out of contact, what about Pei Jinye?
Had he been in contact with the Starfire Army?
The Starfire Army had been active in Da Peng City.
According to the timeline, at that time Pei Jinye had not yet become a special advisor, nor had he been to the Western Continent; he was just a newcomer who had recently joined the Investigation Team.
Whether he had been in contact with the Starfire Army or not… no one knew.
The day passed and truly nothing strange was found about Pei Jinye.
“A sacrifice to political struggle.”
She bowed her head and typed, “Why was he kicked out of the Knight Order in the first place?”
But she didn’t send the message.
After hesitating for a while, she chose to delete it one letter at a time.
Then she disappeared into the darkness.
…
The hurried night came to an end.
In the early hours of the morning, the alarm clock rang.
Liu Limin, bewildered, flung off his covers, “Whose fucking alarm is that, turn it off already.”
No one answered.
Liu Limin lay in bed and glanced at his own phone.
He immediately became furious.
“Damn it! It’s only half past one, someone’s sick! Turn it off!”
He shouted loudly, but the alarm showed no sign of being turned off.
Liu Limin waited a while, but did not see a single person in the dormitory move.
He abruptly got up and looked around.
His gaze finally locked onto Cao Yingjun.
“Cao Yingjun! Cao Yingjun!”
He called out a few times.
Cao Yingjun was still deep in sleep.
“Dammit!”
Liu Limin cursed out loud.
He ran over to Cao Yingjun’s side and turned off the alarm clock.
He slapped Cao Yingjun a few times, but the guy showed no reaction whatsoever.
“Motherfucker, you idiot!”
Liu Limin cursed angrily and went back to bed to sleep.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
The cellphone alarm went off again.
Liu Limin glanced at his own phone.
Two o’clock in the morning.
He immediately began to writhe in agony on the bed.
“Cao Yingjun, I curse your ancestors!!”
Cao Yingjun was yanked up.
He opened his eyes in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“Turn off the damn alarm! Testing at four in the morning, and you start setting alarms from one-thirty. Are you brain-dead?”
Liu Limin exploded with curses.
“Sorry, sorry, I’ve had this condition since I was little; once I fall asleep, I might not be able to wake up…” Cao Yingjun said apologetically.
Liu Limin’s angry expression paused for a moment.
Cao Yingjun said with regret, “I’m really sorry, I’ve seen doctors about it, but there’s no cure. They say I probably won’t live past 30.”
“This…”
Liu Limin subconsciously let go, his tone softened, and he straightened Cao Yingjun’s clothes, “Don’t worry about it, just rest. I’ll call you.”
“I’m really sorry.”
“It’s fine, just go to sleep.”
Liu Limin, understanding as he was, waved it off and went back to bed, heaving a sigh.
Staring at the ceiling, he began to feel guilty.
Tossing and turning.
This time, he was completely unable to sleep.
Ten minutes later.
He raised his head to look.
Suddenly, he froze.
“What the fuck, where is Pei Jinye?”
He then looked towards bed number four, where Zhong Taishu was supposed to be.
He shot up in shock.
“What the fuck, how is he gone too?”
He thought he had set the time wrong.
Liu Limin hurriedly got up.
And looked at the time again.
It was only two-fifteen.
“What the hell… what’s going on with this world?”
…
Meanwhile.
In the forests surrounding Dragon City Martial University.
Zhong Taishu was crouching in the bushes, typing a message to Situ Liyue on his phone.
[Captain, I think Pei Jinye is fine… This guy is either eating or on his way to train… even more hardcore than you.]
[Captain, you’re not still asleep, are you?]
Zhong Taishu sent ten messages but didn’t get any response from Situ Liyue, which left him feeling somewhat disheartened.
He didn’t even know that just ten minutes earlier, Pei Jinye had hypnotized him and extracted the truth.
Pei Jinye hadn’t killed him.
Dealing with such a watcher would only suggest he had something to hide.
However, Zhong Taishu had confirmed that the third senior brother had indeed defected, which actually didn’t surprise him.
Someone wanted to use this incident to create issues for him…
That was something Pei Jinye found inexplicable.
Was his being from Da Peng City really enough to attract the attention of these people?
Was the stake of Da Peng City enough to get the Knight Order and the Investigation Team to keep an eye on him?
There must be some secret he was unaware of.
Unfortunately, Zhong Taishu and Situ Liyue knew nothing.
…
As the early morning sunlight fell,
it was already three-fifty-five a.m. in no time.
Many new students had already gathered outside Jingzhe Building.
Xu Wanxiao yawned and glanced at her watch.
There were five minutes left before the assessment would start.
But at the moment, no one dared to speak.
Because Lin Xiuxian had arrived.
After his impressive show of strength the night before, many students in his class were now intimidated by him.
Those who were promoted from within Dragon City Martial University knew him even better; they were more serious than during military training.
Lin Xiuxian remained silent.
Looking at his watch.
Four minutes and thirty seconds to go.
There were still the last ten Shielding Bracelets left on the table in front of him.
That meant ten people hadn’t arrived yet.
This included the little guy from the Investigation Team.
Lin Xiuxian frowned slightly.
Had he failed to stop that trash from the Investigation Team yesterday, causing this little guy trouble?
As he was frowning,
Liu Limin, who had just been selected as the class monitor yesterday, suddenly waved his hand.
Lin Xiuxian looked over.
Pei Jinye and Zhong Taishu arrived one after the other.
This caused Lin Xiuxian’s expression to darken slightly.
“Knight Order…”

…
Zhong Taishu inexplicably felt a murderous intent.
He blankly raised his head.
But he saw nothing.
“Zhong Taishu, come get your bracelet, what are you daydreaming about over there!” Lin Xiuxian’s roar came from afar. Zhong Taishu jumped in fright, feeling very wronged.
Why yell at just me? Clearly Pei Jinye also hasn’t… Wait, when did he get his bracelet?
