    This meal felt strangely off… at least that’s what Xu Wanxiao realized.


    She suspiciously raised her head, her gaze lingering on the faces of the two people.


    An illusion?


    She pushed aside her distracting thoughts.


    Xu Wanxiao looked at Pei Jinye, “During my assessment today, I felt the Hall of Myriad Images was the toughest. I almost made it through. Do you have any good advice?”


    “Burn some Calming Incense when you cultivate your mental method to reduce distracting thoughts,” Pei Jinye replied succinctly.


    “I have plenty of Calming Incense… but is it really that simple?”


    “The more distractions you have, the bigger the problem. You should pay attention to this issue.”


    This was Pei Jinye’s honest advice.


    Xu Wanxiao wanted to ask something more, but suddenly, an explosion sounded in the distance. The massive blast was like a bomb detonation.


    Glass shattered instantly.


    The entire Dragon City seemed to awaken at that moment.


    …


    “Miss!”


    Bodyguards sprang into action around her.


    Xu Wanxiao, seeing that Pei Jinye and Li Xiaoyin were still beside her and feeling inexplicably relieved, steadied her mind and asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”


    “Two kilometers away, a research institute exploded, and I saw people fighting in the dark. The specifics are unclear at the moment. Madam, please stay in your room with your friends and go nowhere. Someone has called the police.”


    Xu Wanxiao frowned slightly, “Why has Dragon City been so chaotic recently?”


    Li Xiaoyin suddenly said, “My phone has lost its signal. Check yours.”


    Everyone looked, and their expressions changed drastically.


    “Mine’s out of signal too.”


    “Damn it, what’s going on?”


    “Draw the curtains, don’t stand by the windows, and wait quietly.”


    That’s when Pei Jinye spoke slowly.


    The bodyguards hesitated.


    It was then that Xu Wanxiao spoke, “Do as he says.”


    “Yes, Miss.”


    All the curtains were drawn, and while everyone waited quietly, the sound of explosions kept getting closer.


    “Da-da-da…”


    Gunfire raked across the area.


    Even Xu Wanxiao’s house suffered damage, with several windows and an entire section of the wall hit by stray bullets.


    The leader of the bodyguards glanced at Pei Jinye, somewhat relieved.


    It was lucky that everyone had moved away; otherwise, they might have been hit by now.


    Who exactly was this young man?


    Before long.


    People from the Night Patrol Department arrived.


    Drones called out, ordering all citizens to stay indoors and not to venture out. The suppression began shortly after.


    It lasted less than ten minutes.


    All the noise from outside vanished.


    “It’s over.”


    Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. The chief bodyguard quietly approached the window and peeked outside.


    Thick smoke drifted away with the wind.


    The outer walls were riddled with holes.


    The sight was frightening.


    When Pei Jinye and Li Xiaoyin left, Xu Wanxiao had tried to have them stay, worried about what might happen outside.


    However, Li Xiaoyin had already signed up for a school event that evening, so she had to leave. And if she left, Pei Jinye naturally went with her; otherwise, if he stayed and slept at Xu Wanxiao’s place, there might be rumors.


    …


    Sitting in the car arranged by Xu Wanxiao.


    Li Xiaoyin saw the streets that had just witnessed a fierce battle, feeling quite shocked.


    “What’s going on lately?”


    “Too much food, maybe,” Pei Jinye remarked darkly.


    “???” Li Xiaoyin was puzzled.


    Before long, they got out of the car.


    When they were alone, she looked at Pei Jinye and whispered, “I’ve reached the Fourth Rank, that Spirit Rice is really… more powerful than any spiritual objects I’ve eaten before.”


    “That was fast, congratulations, senior,” Pei Jinye actually wasn’t surprised.


    In his vision, he could see Li Xiaoyin’s Attribute Points floating above her head, so he was aware that Li Xiaoyin had made a breakthrough.


    “I’m very curious, is the Jiang family really… that formidable now?”


    Pei Jinye spoke quietly, “The Jiang family is just a front to attract attention. It’s good that you know this.”


    Li Xiaoyin paused, then nodded, “That explains it. No wonder the Jiang family could grow so fast in such a short time. There must be a huge entity behind them. But Jinye… we have no idea what organization it is, what if…”


    Pei Jinye smiled and shook his head, “If the other party were an evil organization like the Old Gods Association, they wouldn’t only let us eat without giving us tasks. Besides, the Jiang family is constantly being watched. If they were to do anything bad, Da Peng City would be the first to not let them off.”


    Li Xiaoyin, her suspicions somewhat dispelled, asked, “Have you… had contact with them?”


    Pei Jinye looked at her and nodded.


    Li Xiaoyin cautiously asked, “Are they powerful?”


    “Very powerful.”


    “What do they believe in?”


    “World peace.”


    “Is that it?” Li Xiaoyin asked incredulously.


    Pei Jinye chuckled and shook his head, “Is it simple? Sister, do you really think world peace is simple?”


    Li Xiaoyin came to her senses and thought of the unwarranted calamity they had just experienced and said with emotion, “Indeed, it’s not simple. I oversimplified it…”


    But she firmly stated, “As long as their beliefs don’t change, I will certainly do my utmost!”


    Pei Jinye laughed, “No worries, the sky falls for those taller to hold up, and we’re safer behind them.”


    Li Xiaoyin, however, said seriously, “We can’t think like that. The organization is nurturing us with such valuable things, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”


    Pei Jinye opened his mouth.


    What’s this…


    As the boss, I’m oddly touched.


    …


    …


    After the monthly exam, the new class members were ready.


    But to everyone’s surprise, only one student from the ordinary class broke through the ceiling and squeezed into the elite class. Meanwhile, no one from the elite class fell.


    This effectively solidified the power dynamic between the elite and ordinary classes.

    This put enormous pressure on many students.


    But for Pei Jinye, playing a weakling in front of so many Ninth Ranks was quite a test of ability.


    So he found Lin Xiuxian, and presented him with tobacco and alcohol.


    “Xiuxian bro, cover for me.”


    “???”
