The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurrying to speak in a low voice: “According to the latest information I’ve gathered, we’ve located Sun Yiran, but there are some complications…”
“If it weren’t a thorny issue, you wouldn’t have come to me for help, speak up,” the shadow said indifferently.
“We’ve discovered the whereabouts of that woman in Liulu Mountain, but our people also found out… she had been in and out of the residence of a Ninth Rank Array Master, likely seeking mentorship.”
“Lu Su?” The figure was obviously taken aback, not exactly shocked, but subconsciously connecting the Ninth Rank Array Master mentioned by the middle-aged man to Lu Su.
“No, not him,” the middle-aged man hastened to deny, “She’s surnamed Sun, with an obscure background. It was her who warned Sky God International back then.”
“Oh, her.” The shadow seemingly realized who it was, but dismissively said: “We have no grievances with her, no need to reveal our identities; just make it clean and quick.”
“Yes.”
Now that the head of the household had spoken, the middle-aged man had a clear idea.
…
Somehow, a young man heard about this.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t care about what the head of the household was up to, but this time, the person involved was none other than Master Sun!
This young man was Song Xuefeng, who was previously tossed out by Pei Jinye.
Ever since being rejected, he had been harboring resentment in his heart.
If it weren’t for the fact that Pei Jinye was a Ninth Rank Array Master, he would seek revenge at all costs… To be humiliated like this under the watchful eyes of the public!
So when he heard that the head of the household was going to make a move, he was eagerly waiting to see the show.
“What Ninth Rank! What Array Master! They’re all trash before my Song family!”
…
Sun Yiran appeared in the small courtyard where Pei Jinye resided, her face tense, “Master, those people from the Song family have found me; they want to kill me…”
Pei Jinye looked at her, simply saying, “Go choose a room in the side building to stay, and focus on your cultivation.”
Hearing his words, Sun Yiran swallowed the words that had reached her lips.
The emotions of tension and fear suddenly faded away.
Pei Jinye could understand her.
From being hunted at the beginning, to now just starting to contact new powers… it had hardly been more than twenty days.
Not enough time.
Not enough to erase the crushing feeling brought by the powerful Song family.
But Pei Jinye’s composure and confidence undoubtedly gave her great assurance.
“This disciple takes her leave.”
Sun Yiran bowed and exited the room.
Pei Jinye didn’t take the Song family to heart at all.
He didn’t even plan to deal with the Song family himself, wanting to instill the greatest sense of urgency in Sun Yiran, so she could focus more wholeheartedly on her cultivation.
He pulled up the attribute panel.
The feedback provided by Sun Yiran had now risen to 2.4, with a huge potential for further increase!
…
Night had fallen.
Sun Yiran wanted to cook, but she couldn’t locate the ingredients in the small courtyard, so she had to pluck up the courage to approach Pei Jinye.
To say she wasn’t scared would be a lie.
Of course, this profound fear… was her respect for Pei Jinye.
But she had really been frightened lately.
Her house had been burned down in a fire.
She was left alone, the only person in her family.
Now, she no longer had a home and had to hide and flee like a homeless person.
Now that even her friend’s place had a killer appear, it had truly frightened her!
“Cook? No need, I’ve ordered food; it will arrive shortly.”
Pei Jinye said casually.
“You also eat… takeaway?”
Sun Yiran was somewhat rooted to the spot in surprise.
Her understanding of a powerful master still lingered on the image of one retreating to the mountains; didn’t this ordering of takeaway seem too… down-to-earth?
Right then, the doorbell rang.
Sun Yiran instinctively tensed up.
Not until Pei Jinye spoke up did she come to herself, obeying his instruction to open the door to receive the delivery.
The door opened in an instant.
A waiter clad in hotel attire greeted her with a face full of politeness and eagerness: “Your meal has arrived; do you need us to bring it inside?”
“Let them bring it in.”
Pei Jinye’s voice came from the master bedroom.
Sun Yiran nodded and stepped aside.
A few attendants carrying a luxurious feast filed in.
This… was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
The master truly lived up to his name.
After the attendants had finished serving the meal, they respectfully left the yard.
Sun Yiran fell silent for a while, locked the door, and hesitated to go eat with Pei Jinye, feeling a bit embarrassed.
But Pei Jinye was the first to speak.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“Ah?” Sun Yiran was flattered and startled.
When it was time to eat,
Sun Yiran sat properly in front of Pei Jinye.
There were many dishes laid out on the table.
She remembered that the attendants were all wearing the uniforms of [Starcloud Tower] which meant that they had come specially to deliver the dinner from there.
They even used insulated dishes with built-in formations… such luxury.
But, wasn’t it said that Starcloud Tower didn’t offer a delivery service at all?
Indeed, the master’s influence is immense!
“You need to speed up too, your senior brother has already broken through the second layer today,” Pei Jinye suddenly said.
Sun Yiran was surprised at first.
“I have a senior brother?”
Pei Jinye glanced at her, and Sun Yiran quickly shut her mouth.
“You have a senior brother and two junior sisters; I’ll arrange for you to meet them when the time is right,” Pei Jinye said indifferently.
Sun Yiran felt a tightening in her heart: “I will be able to break through in two more days… No, tomorrow, I can break through tomorrow.”
Pei Jinye didn’t look at her but used the serving chopsticks to place a fish head into her bowl, which made Sun Yiran feel even more honored.
Pei Jinye said calmly, “Since I’ve taken you as a disciple, naturally, there will be no double standards within the family. What I want you to do is to cultivate fiercely. You can tell me anything you encounter while cultivating, but you need to understand one thing.”
Sun Yiran quickly replied with a serious expression, “Please tell me, Master.”
“You have to deal with the troubles you cause yourself.”
Pei Jinye’s words made Sun Yiran feel a chill.
Resolve… the Song family?
Does she… have that ability?
Thinking of this, Sun Yiran became silent.
She clenched her fists and said, “I will not disappoint you, Master!”
Having witnessed Pei Jinye’s power, she naturally knew the strength that came with cultivating this technique.
So she needed time!
Pei Jinye looked at her, nodded, and said, “I’ll back you up for things beyond your ability. There is nothing more gratifying than taking revenge with your own hands.”
Sun Yiran was taken aback.
She nodded vigorously.
“Thank you, Master.”
She ate very quickly.
The battle was over in three to five minutes.
But she didn’t leave.
Instead, she began to cultivate right there, waiting for Pei Jinye to finish eating so she could clean up.
However, her cultivation was soon interrupted.
Before she could figure out who was outside the door,
She heard Pei Jinye ask —
“Ever killed someone?”
Sun Yiran held her breath and shook her head.
Pei Jinye was not surprised: “There’s a first time for everything. Can you use a sword?”

Sun Yiran nodded: “I’ve learned for a while.”
“Apply what I have taught you to the sword.”
“Yes, Master.”
Sun Yiran took the sword from Pei Jinye’s hand and took a deep breath.
Tonight, would be her awakening day!
