    “Haha, you guys from the Body Technique System really all have the same temperament…” Murong Jing shook his head and laughed, “I’ve never fought; I do have some self-awareness.”


    Liu Limin offered a sheepish smile.


    Ji Yuyan beckoned everyone to sit down.


    Then, she served Spirit Fruits.


    There were more people, so naturally, there were more Spirit Fruits for hospitality.


    These Spirit Fruits, worth hundreds of thousands outside, were treated here like they cost nothing, and Cao Yingjun felt his horizon was greatly broadened.


    However, Liu Limin seemed like a carefree fellow, eagerly staring at Murong Jing, wishing to learn more if possible.


    Murong Jing didn’t hold back, taking Liu’s pulse and immediately noticing he had been injured before.


    This deeply shocked Liu Limin.


    “Brother Jing, you are really strong. I didn’t even tell Brother Pei, but you saw it at a glance.”


    Murong Jing shook his head and chuckled, “I remember Dragon City martial arts university has Smooth Blood Cake. Just buy two pieces to replenish yourself. You were injured before and didn’t pay much attention to it, and now you’ve over-supplemented, so you need to smooth it out.”


    Liu Limin nodded again and again.


    Then Murong Jing turned to Cao Yingjun, “I remember you are an Artifact Refiner?”


    Cao Yingjun nodded shyly.


    Murong Jing smiled, “Your spiritual power is quite good. In the future, if you have a chance to meet Xu Youyue from your school, you can learn from her. She’s an expert in terms of spiritual power.”


    Cao Yingjun silently noted the name.


    Murong Jing continued with a smile, “As for strength, I suggest you take it seriously too. Artifact Refining is draining, both mentally and physically.”


    “Thank you, Brother Jing.”


    “No need to thank me. Even if I didn’t say it, Lin Xiuxian would eventually tell you guys.”


    Finally, he looked at Pei Jinye.


    “Actually, I know you.”


    At those words, everyone in the hall turned their gaze in that direction.


    Ji Wutian was surprised, “Brother Jing, you know Old Pei?”


    Murong Xiyue’s gaze landed on Pei Jinye, thoughtful.


    Murong Jing just smiled, “He is quite impressive.”


    Then, looking at Pei Jinye, “I know a bit about you. Your talent is pretty good. If you were from the Body Technique System… I guess you would have achieved even greater things in the future.”


    Pei Jinye nodded, “Yes, many people have said that. No way around it, my genes are set, and I can’t change them even if I wanted to.”


    Murong Jing said thoughtfully, “But it’s not without a way. Current research suggests that some Transcendents share mutualities. Maybe in the future, you could break through this limitation. Awakeners with strong spiritual power naturally dedicate more effort in their cultivation. Coupled with your decent martial arts aptitude, you have great prospects. Have you thought about where you want to go next?”


    “I’ll go back to Central State,” Pei Jinye replied. “Many people have helped me. If I can repay them, that’s best.”


    Murong Jing nodded slowly, “Central State… that works. I won’t invite you to the Judgement Place.”


    “Why is that? Is the threshold for the Judgement Place so high?” Ji Wutian couldn’t help asking.


    Murong Jing, seeing that everyone’s attention was on him, pointed at Pei Jinye, “You all don’t know, do you? The Judgement Place has invited him several times, and he refused each time. His name is now on their blacklist… tsk, very few people refuse the Judgement Place.”


    Everyone was taken aback.


    Ji Wutian got excited too, “Holy shit, Old Pei, what were you thinking? That’s the Judgement Place! With your talent, you’d definitely make it to the top ranks.”


    Murong Jing just smiled and said nothing.


    Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun were envious… after all, being invited by the renowned Judgement Place was an honor they couldn’t even dream of.


    But they absolutely didn’t expect–


    Pei Jinye actually refused.


    And it wasn’t just once.


    Damn… are geniuses always so willful?


    Pei Jinye shook his head, speaking softly, “My master wouldn’t allow it.”


    Murong Jing looked over, chuckled softly, and did not say much.


    As one of the heads of the Judgement Place’s Internal Affairs Department with access to lots of intelligence, he of course knew about Pei Jinye’s relationship with the Knight Order.


    However, because of the association with the Knight Order, he felt somewhat regretful looking at Pei Jinye.


    To lose the favor of two such colossal entities like the Judgement Place and the Knight Order meant cutting off half of one’s prospects.


    Sometimes… that’s just fate.


    “I have a piece of advice for you, try to stay at the university as much as possible.”


    Pei Jinye looked at Murong Jing and slowly nodded.


    Indeed, that was the best option for him at the moment.


    Of course…


    That was only on the surface.


    …


    Murong Jing didn’t stay for the meal, he received a phone call midway, his expression a mix of resignation.


    “Can’t hide it from those old guys, huh…”


    He turned to Ji Yuyan and the others, “You go ahead and eat. They’re calling me over and I can’t refuse… I don’t know which bastard leaked my schedule.”


    Before long.


    He left.


    Cao Yingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Brother Jing seems so strong…”


    “Definitely, Eighth Rank… A Transcendent who has opened his Domain, even if he’s not from the Body Technique System, his combat power definitely isn’t as simple as he made it out to be,” Ji Wutian hinted, full of yearning.


    However, Liu Limin’s focus was still on Pei Jinye, “Brother Pei, to be honest, don’t you regret refusing the Judgement Place?”


    “There’s nothing to regret. Since I’ve made the decision, I’ve accepted the consequences,” Pei Jinye said indifferently.


    His attitude left Liu Limin speechless.


    But it was Ji Wutian who expressed admiration, “Old Pei, that’s a badass attitude, it slaps me straight in the face. But honestly, it’s good that you refused. There are two paths in the Judgement Place, one is like Brother Jing’s, logistics which is alright, the other is a bit more sinister…”


    Everyone seemed to have heard those stories about growing wings and nodded in agreement.


    After the gathering dispersed.


    Pei Jinye did not immediately return to the university. Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun were off to train, so everyone went their separate ways.


    …


    At the school gate.


    Pei Jinye suddenly turned around, sensing he was being followed again, and discreetly diverted off the main road towards an alley on the left.


    The alleys here were interconnected, easy to get lost in if not familiar.


    He distinctly felt three people behind him.


    One in a black jacket, one a big-bellied fat man, and a thin man, all closing in quickly.


    In a short time.


    The three lost track of Pei Jinye.


    “Where is he?” The man in the jacket changed color.


    The thin man reached the alley corner, got down on the ground, listened carefully, and then said, “He hasn’t gone far, this way.”


    “Pursue!”

    The three winded through the alleys for a while, only to see a stretch of woods on the other side.


    None of them noticed.


    The cameras around began to thin out.


    And Pei Jinye was just at the alley’s exit, a blind spot for surveillance!


    “The three of you have been following me for so long, is there something I can help you with?”
