    The man in the jacket stepped forward and gave Pei Jinye a once-over.


    Pei Jinye could only lament that there were just too many surveillance cameras around… and it wasn’t immediately clear to him whether this was a test specifically aimed at him or not.


    “I am, and who might you be?” Pei Jinye appeared entirely harmless.


    This question was also meant to probe the other party.


    If his identity had indeed been exposed, the other party surely wouldn’t reveal their name, much less need to confirm it here and now.


    “Eastern Continent Investigation Team’s Song Shanhe.”


    The man in the jacket gave a name Pei Jinye had never heard of, but the mention of the Investigation Team made him take a second look.


    Are all the people from the Eastern Continent Investigation Team made of this stuff?


    The self-proclaimed Song Shanhe was a Shape*Leg Transcendent, the fat man beside him was a Spirit*Shield, and the skinny guy next to him was likewise Spirit Class and had the ability to pinpoint locations by sound.


    No wonder they were able to find him.


    Suddenly, Song Shanhe said, “I heard you’re an Extraordinary Third Rank even though you’re so young; I came to ask for some guidance.”


    The smile on Pei Jinye’s face didn’t change, “Although we’re both from Investigation Teams, we’re strangers; is there really a need to resort to violence upon our first meeting?”


    “We indeed do not know each other.” Song Shanhe grinned, his tone chilling by several degrees, “But what can I do if I just find you unpleasant?”


    With that, he made his move first.


    In the whistling sound, a blur of legs appeared in front of him and the air emitted a piercing tear.


    But he failed to notice that Pei Jinye “subconsciously” stepped back, moving away from the cameras at the nearby alley entrance.


    A confrontational move from a member of the Investigation Team who was an Extraordinary Fifth Rank was not to be taken lightly.


    But to Pei Jinye, the attack was laughably slow.


    He dodged by turning his head away.


    Song Shanhe’s kick missed, and he himself was a bit stunned. He had just turned his head to say something when a handful of lime powder was thrown in his face.


    Song Shanhe’s eyes were in pain, and he let out a terrible scream.


    Pei Jinye slapped a brick down on his head.


    “Bang!”


    The brick shattered into pieces.


    Song Shanhe covered his head and screamed once more.


    This scene left the two companions beside him with their jaws dropped. By the time Pei Jinye turned to run, they didn’t know whether to try to stop him or to check on Song Shanhe.


    “Damn, that kid’s got so many dirty tricks! Fuck it, stop gawking and chase him!”


    Song Shanhe pursued, his face covered in dust and dirt.


    He quickly caught up with Pei Jinye.


    “Stop running, fight me one-on-one if you dare!”


    “Sure.”


    Hearing Pei Jinye agree, Song Shanhe let his guard down, but just as he approached, Pei Jinye threw another handful of lime powder.


    Song Shanhe was caught off guard and hit the ground with a scream.


    The fat man bellowed in anger, “Pei Jinye, isn’t this technique of yours a bit too low?”


    Pei Jinye scoffed at them as if looking at fools, “Three of you against one Third Rank me, and you have the nerve to talk about being low? Today, all I’ve thrown is lime powder. I didn’t directly throw grenades at you, which really is showing you some face!”


    The fat man was suddenly at a loss for words.


    The skinny companion gestured to Pei Jinye not to get worked up, “Let’s talk it out. In fact, we didn’t come here to trouble you.”


    “Are you blind, or am I? He’s at least a Fifth Rank, right? With legs already flying towards me, you still say you didn’t come to cause trouble.” Pei Jinye wore an expression implying he could not be bothered to say more and motioned to the recorder in his hand, “Anyway, I’ve recorded what needs to be recorded. You can go back and explain to headquarters yourselves, what’s the penalty for an attempted ambush again?”


    The three faces opposite him instantly changed.


    “Brother Pei, I apologize, I was too impulsive just now.” Song Shanhe had also changed his attitude.


    Pei Jinye stood his ground, back to the camera, with a smirk that was not quite a smile, “Impulsive? If I hadn’t dodged in time, that kick of yours would’ve been enough to break my ribs. Are you regretting not having kicked me to death right away?”


    Song Shanhe’s expression went through several changes, showing a vicious streak but still somewhat wary.


    “Do we really need to take it this far?”


    “Far?” Pei Jinye counter-asked with a very calm tone.


    The three opposite him would probably never believe that if it weren’t for the cameras, they would truly understand what ‘going too far’ meant by now.


    “Spill it. What’s the real reason you suddenly sought me out?” Pei Jinye demanded.


    Song Shanhe clenched his teeth.


    The fat man nudged him, “Just say it. I think Brother Pei is a reasonable man. Just talk it out; don’t make it so ugly. After all, we’re all part of the same system.”


    This was said to Song Shanhe but was also meant for Pei Jinye.


    We are all part of the same Investigation Team system; perhaps we will work together in the future. With Pei Jinye coming to the Eastern Continent… unfamiliar with the place, how could he contend with these local forces?


    Song Shanhe looked at Pei Jinye with a cold face, “Someone told me to give you a message: stay away from Murong Xiyue.”


    Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow. “Is that all?”


    Song Shanhe frowned. “What else then?”


    “So lacking in ambition!” Pei Jinye said disdainfully.

    “You!” Song Shanhe’s face flashed with anger.


    Pei Jinye was utterly dismissive, “Who sent you with the message?”


    Song Shanhe was unwilling to say.


    Without any intention of being polite, Pei Jinye stared into his now-bloodshot eyes, “Is this person really worth your protection? This sort of warning act would be considered cheesy and melodramatic decades ago. You’re licking boots this much… the family behind must be quite wealthy, huh?”


    “Can’t you speak more politely!” Song Shanhe was visibly annoyed.
