Chapter 860: [(668)] Attribute Light Group Big Pack! (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions) Chapter 860: [(668)] Attribute Light Group Big Pack! (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions) In Dragon City at over nine o’clock at night, people were coming and going.
Before Pei Jinye went to his rented room for cultivation, just as usual, he created an avatar within the permissible range… eating, reading books, simply doing the same things as an ordinary person.
This morning, just back from Snow Dragon Mountain, Pei Jinye sensed an atmosphere in Dragon City unlike the usual, with an undercurrent surging.
And now…
The restrictions he had left with his avatar had been triggered.
This meant someone had come.
…
A mysterious person was tailing the avatar, investigating all the way.
The person was a man in his twenties, of very average appearance, so forgettable in a crowd that one glance would erase him from memory.
He was watching “Pei Jinye.”
Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes was watching him from a distance.
The man took a sip of coffee.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly.
“People from the Investigation Place…”
The man was indeed Pei Jinye, in disguise.
He was eager to find out who was secretly investigating him.
But he hadn’t expected…
The Investigation Place again…
Was he cursed to always clash with the Investigation Place?
Why was he being targeted by their people again?
He shook his head, resigned.
Yet he did not act rashly.
Because not far away, there was an even more powerful force.
And the distance… wasn’t too far.
Although this individual had suppressed all signs of presence, morphing into an ordinary person,
Under the scrutiny of the True Eye, their Extraordinary Seventh Rank strength was unmistakably visible.
…
Pei Jinye quietly witnessed an interesting scene unfold from the shadows.
In an alley.
A young Judge performed hypnosis on his avatar.
But clearly.
The young Judge looked astonished, staring at his own hands and then at the hypnotized figure before him.
“He… how… how does he know nothing?”
The young man couldn’t understand.
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He couldn’t believe that the young man before him was as blank as a sheet of paper…
Was this possible?
He tried again.
The result was the same.
“Holy shit, is this guy even human?”
“This innocence???”
…
Ten minutes later.
The young Judge appeared in a cafe.
He hung his head.
Looking utterly dejected.
He approached a man in a suit.
“Director, I’ve failed, I couldn’t get any useful information from the target…”
The suited man cut off his words and suggested he sit down and have a glass of water.
Water… just water?
The young Judge glanced resentfully at the coffee on the Director’s table.
But the suit-clad man acted as if he saw nothing, “Continue.”
“Yes, Director…” the young man went on.
Regarding his assessment of Pei Jinye as a blank slate… he hesitated a moment but under the gentle smile of the suited man, who showed no caution, he spilled the beans.
“A blank slate?” The suited man suddenly chuckled.
Seeing the Director chuckling, the young man’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked over cautiously, “Director, what are you laughing at?”
The suited man sipped his coffee and slowly put down the cup, speaking mildly, “Looking at Pei Jinye’s rise, you should understand that he’s certainly not a blank slate.”
“This…” The young man was stunned, but doubts nagged at him, “I tested him five times, nearly depleting my spiritual power, and under these circumstances he showed no abnormalities. The information about Snow Dragon Mountain and what’s happening in Dragon City martial arts university are exactly the same… Director, could it be that I’ve been tricked?”
The suited man did not directly answer but slowly started to discuss how Pei Jinye had also been investigated by Judges in Da Peng City before.
“He was investigated before?” The young man’s mouth fell open, hearing this for the first time.
The suited man smiled slightly, “But do you know the fate of that Judge?”
“What… fate?” The young man stuttered.
Somehow, he had an uneasy premonition.
“Dead,” the man in the suit uttered the two words.
The young man’s heart certainly skipped a beat.
His mouth agape.
“Dead?”
The expression of the young Judge was somewhat dazed, and after a moment as if just comprehending, he asked uncertainly, “Director, was it Pei Jinye who killed him?”
But if Pei Jinye really had killed, how could he possibly pass the vetting to attend Dragon City martial arts university?
The man in the suit shook his head, “Either the Holy Alliance or the Old Gods Association.”
“This?” The shock on the young Judge’s face did not dissipate, “But what does this have to do with Pei Jinye?”
The suited man sighed softly, “Indeed, what does it have to do with him? Yet I always feel this kid has secrets… He was there when chaos broke out in the Western Continent, and now with anomalies at Snow Dragon Mountain, he’s there too.”
“Director, could it be just a coincidence?” the young man prodded cautiously, “Pei Jinye is only registered as a Third Rank newbie; he has talent, but to get involved in these things… I feel I’d be killed in an instant even if I got involved.”
And he was already an Extraordinary Sixth Rank.
Whether it was the Western Continent or Snow Dragon Mountain… neither were places for a Sixth Rank to be involved.
“Back then, in the Western Continent many of the Huang Family and Luo family died… To date, the killer hasn’t been found… and the timing of this kid’s appearances…” the man in the suit fell into thought.
Unable to help it, the young man scoffed, “Director, he’s just Third Rank… could he have faked his cultivation? But even if he did, could he really fool so many experts at Dragon City martial arts university?”
The man in the suit paused, halting his coffee-sipping motion, and looked up.
The young man couldn’t meet his gaze and quickly looked away.
“Never mind,” said the man in a suit middle-aged, calmly releasing two words.
“Never mind?”
The young man looked up and asked, “Director, what about the situation at Snow Dragon Mountain… should we investigate that girl again?”
The man in the suit laughed with a trace of mockery in his voice, “Her backing is the Knight Order; dare you to provoke her?”
“Isn’t that what you’re here for?”
“Lu Zheng, you little rascal, don’t you dare get me into trouble!”
“Director, I wouldn’t dare!”
…
…
In the distance.
Pei Jinye slowly retracted his gaze.
“People from Judgement Place don’t dare to investigate members of the Knight Order, yet they dare to investigate me?”
“It’s nothing more than–”
“Thinking that I have no backers.”
Pei Jinye gently put down the cup in his hand, then turned and left.
On this journey, he had been exceedingly cautious.
You could almost say that he hadn’t left behind any clues… and even if there were any, those in the know had already been killed by his own hand.
That the other party suspected him could only mean the guy had a strong sixth sense.
But, as the man in the suit had said, they had no evidence to prove any of this was connected to him, Pei Jinye.
…
“Should we take action?”
“He’s a menace…”
…
“Director, where are we headed now?”
“Going back.”
The two left the cafe, got into a car, and drove away.
But Pei Jinye’s figure had already left much earlier.
To act now would only expose him.
For the moment, the other party’s troubles were more than just this.
…
After a night passed, the day had not yet brightened, and already there was a light rain.
In the villa’s courtyard.
A steady drizzle.
Xu Wanxiao stood beside Pei Jinye, as countless fine streams of water fell from the eaves in front of them.
“You were in such a hurry to call me over because of difficulties in cultivating the Breathing Method?”
Pei Jinye was in a good mood.
This morning, the Attribute Light Group he picked up surprisingly had two thousand four hundred attribute points.
“Yes…”
Xu Wanxiao was somewhat uneasy, but she straightened up and said, “Gu recently taught the advanced chapter of the Basic Breathing Method, and during the breathing process, I found… halfway through breathing, I would experience palpitations.”
“Palpitations?”
Pei Jinye looked at her, “Demonstrate for me.”
“Alright.”
Xu Wanxiao did as instructed, returning to the mat behind her to begin her Breathing Cultivation.
After a moment, she looked up.
“Just like that, palpitations occurred again, and the Breathing naturally came to an end.”
Pei Jinye saw through the problem at a glance, but he could not say it outright, thinking aloud, “Try running it again.”
“Try it again…”
“Try slowing it down…”
“What if you try a different method…”
Pei Jinye offered several suggestions, and eventually, it was like he suddenly understood, “I’ve got it.”
Xu Wanxu looked at him, “So where was the problem?”
“Your mind is too cluttered,” Pei Jinye said, shaking his head.
Xu Wanxu was taken aback but did not argue.
Pei Jinye approached and advised, “Let go of the distracting thoughts and try. Theoretically, the advanced version of Basic Breathing Method is derived from the basic version, so these issues shouldn’t occur. Don’t worry while you are cultivating.”
“I… I’ll try.”
After Xu Wanxu tried five or six times, the feeling of palpitations had eased a lot, and she realized the problem herself.
“I’m too distracted… worried about the exams in two months, and the upcoming situation…”
“Why burden yourself with so many thoughts?” Pei Jinye countered.
Xu Wanxu was startled.
She bowed her head.
She chuckled bitterly, “I was too well protected at home before, so much so that I was somewhat disconnected from the world. Deciding to leave home, I ran into such things… I encountered too many geniuses, realized the gap between us, and also saw the cruelty of this world…”
“Being highly perceptive of these emotions is not a bad thing,” Pei Jinye said slowly after she finished talking.
Xu Wanxu was stunned, slightly at a loss, “This isn’t a bad thing?”
“How is it bad?” Pei Jinye shook his head, “Existence is rational. Sensing emotions from the outside world can totally be turned into an instinct for combat.”
“Really?”
“Of course, I’ve come across such experts.”
…
After resolving the concerns, Xu Wanxu felt much lighter.
She finally voiced her inner turmoil, “About yesterday at Snow Dragon Mountain… you’re alright, aren’t you? I wanted to find you, but I heard Ji Yuyan and the others called you away…”
“I’m fine,”
Pei Jinye didn’t elaborate.
Xu Wanxu, sensing something, looked down again without continuing.
“Let’s practice.”
She suddenly looked up with a fighting spirit, challenging him.

Pei Jinye readily accepted.
…
Half an hour later.
Pei Jinye left the villa.
The housekeeper entered the Cultivation Room and was startled. Xu Wanxu lay on the ground, disheveled and untidy. If one didn’t know better, they might assume…
