Pei Jinye spread his palm open, and a withered leaf in midair followed its trajectory and landed steadily in his hand.
He stared at this scene.
Lost in thought.
The leaf was a fact.
His extending hand was a fact.
Catching the leaf was the predestined fate of the leaf.
[Xing Tian, I agree with your speculation. We cannot rule out that the Holy Alliance’s emergence is intentional by Star Ring.]
Pei Jinye had only been back in this world for less than five minutes.
Xing Tian had already contacted him.
[If this is not an undercover operation by the Federation against the Holy Alliance, then this photo is enough to prove… The God of the Holy Alliance somehow has ties with Judgement Place. If we expand this line of thought, perhaps the Old Gods Association is also linked with Star Ring.]
Pei Jinye’s eyebrows twitched.
This assertion…
Walking on the endless bustling streets, no one noticed that he was replaying the scenes involving the Old Gods Association.
Maybe he was overthinking.
Or maybe the Old Gods Association’s cover was too perfect.
Pei Jinye didn’t notice any flaws.
But the Holy Alliance…
[If the Holy Alliance is intentionally created by Star Ring, what then is their aim? To deliberately muddy the waters?]
[That’s a possibility,] Xing Tian paused before replying, [I’ll continue to gather more information.]
[I have an idea.]
[Please go ahead.]
[Let’s leak the news, confined to major rebel forces like the Old Gods Association and Starfire Army, and see their reactions.]
[Good idea. I’ll provide a list below, see if it’s appropriate?]
[Sure.]
…
“Old Pei, Gu Lao Tou announced in the group that there’s a Breathing Method test at five this afternoon. It’s going to be intense.”
Inside dormitory 317.
Pei Jinye had just arrived when Liu Limin started making a fuss.
“Yeah, it’s going to be intense,” Pei Jinye responded, then asked, “Where’s Cao Yingjun?”
Liu Limin pursed his lips, sounding bitter, “He just took a call, sounded like a girl’s voice, and then he left.”
Seeing him like this, Pei Jinye laughed and scolded, “Have some ambition.”
He moved a chair to the balcony and sat looking at the figures coming and going on the distant playground while leisurely sipping tea.
“Aren’t you going to train?”
Liu Limin asked from behind.
“It would be a waste of youth to spend it all on training,” Pei Jinye savored the Spiritual Tea in his mouth and spoke leisurely.
Liu Limin was stunned
And opened his mouth.
He felt something was off about that statement.
But he couldn’t find an excuse to argue immediately.
He turned his head and glanced at the nearby chair.
Almost subconsciously wanting to pull it over and sit down.
But he quickly slapped himself.
“Liu Limin, pull yourself together!”
He turned sharply and walked away.
“…”
Pei Jinye shook his head helplessly.
That was rather melodramatic.
He sat there, relaxing completely, sipping his tea.
Who would have thought that in this world only a mere handful of minutes had passed.
Whereas in reality.
He had lived in Different World for over three years.
Even at his level,
There was still a feeling of maladjustment.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably need a long sleep to get over the jet lag.
…
“Buzz buzz.”
The communicator vibrated.
“Pei Jinye, come out and hang out.”
“No thanks, not in the mood.”
“Feeling down? With Xiyue and I, two beauties, keeping you company and you’re still not in a good mood? You have very high standards!”
“…”
“Coming or not? I’ll call more girls to cheer you up.”
“?”
“Quit pretending, we’re at Golden Age KTV.”
“Have fun, enjoy yourselves.”
“Hmph!”
…
Pei Jinye put down his phone, unaffected by Ji Yuyan’s feigned displeasure.
However, his phone suddenly rang again.
Noticing the caller ID, he was somewhat surprised.
…
…
At a cafe outside the Dragon City Martial Arts University, with a quaint architectural style, the place was mostly bustling with students and occasionally, travelers would pass through.
“I thought you wouldn’t come.”
When Xu Wanxiao was seen again, there was a kind of helplessness in her demeanor as if her sharp edges had been smoothed away.
From being the daughter of Central State’s nouveau riche to arriving in Dragon City, the most bustling center of the Five Continents, her advantages seemed inconsequential.
Central State’s rising stars really count for nothing in Dragon City.
Especially since her Xu family didn’t even possess a Ninth Rank, she felt even less confident.
Even her mother, often criticized as opportunistic, had repeatedly warned her not to stir up trouble in Dragon City after arriving.
She had thought her family could manipulate their way into the elite classes.
But the middleman made it clear that was impossible.
If they really could manipulate situations, those from the high-profile families in Dragon City would be prioritized; outsiders like her stood no chance.
During this time,
Her training in the regular class felt utterly lifeless.
The atmosphere was too oppressive.
She was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Luo Yizhou, that ‘Soul Egg,’ completely ignored her, despite her previous attempts to flatter him, and now even the leaders of the Body Technique Institute looked favorably upon him, seeming like his success was on the horizon.
Thus, she thought of Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye’s family background wasn’t great.
His talent…was decent.
That he made it into the elite class was beyond her expectations.
Was it because he came first in the first challenge, second in the next?
For the first time in front of Pei Jinye, Xu Wanxiao felt a sense of inferiority.
Under Pei Jinye’s gaze.
She couldn’t help but lower her head.
“I am somewhat interested in the cooperation you mentioned over the phone,” Pei Jinye got straight to the point.
With no intention of veiling his words.
“Do you really have connections with the Jiang family?” Xu Wanxiao inquired curiously, “Could the rumors be true, that the Jiang family has been backing your training?”
Pei Jinye looked at the girl and said nothing.
He looked away.
His gaze casually shifted to the approaching waiter: “No, thank you.”
“I’ll pay,” Xu Wanxiao quickly snapped back to reality and said.
Pei Jinye still shook his head: “No thank you.”
Seeing this, Xu Wanxiao didn’t insist any further, taking a deep breath covertly. She now felt that Pei Jinye was definitely not as low-key as he appeared on the surface.
Such dominance might be his real personality.
Once the waiter left.
Xu Wanxiao looked at Pei Jinye and whispered, “I want to get into the elite class; just help me, and in Central State, I’ll have my family work with Central State’s powers to secure more resources for you.
I’ve asked around; several of the Jiang family’s current projects have been halted, do you know why?”
Seeing Pei Jinye looking over, Xu Wanxiao realized her words might have implied otherwise, so she hastily said, “It’s not me, it’s those people from Central Political Office; behind them are various families, the fields the Jiang family is involved in have angered them, but my father can help you.”
The Jiang family had been under Pei Jinye’s control and had not engaged in endless expansion, but even so, they were still subjected to some malicious “attacks.”
The Central Political Office Xu Wanxiao mentioned was a colossal political group under the Central Continent Councilor.
You couldn’t get much done in Central State without dealing with them.
Previously, Pei Jinye had manipulated a relevant person.
But obviously.
This time the Jiang family had become a thorn in the eyes of some.

“Let’s hear how your father can help first.”
…
Being looked at by Pei Jinye.
Xu Wanxiao suddenly blushed.
Quickly lowering her head.
