“As Su Hu’s elder and also mine, you cannot remain indifferent to his mysterious and untimely death,” said Song Xueyu, with tears in her eyes, and with a “thump,” she knelt on the ground.

“I now know who the murderer of Su Hu is and I implore you to assist me,” she continued.

Pei Jinye sat in his seat and slowly said in Jiang Qingcang’s voice, “Who is it?”

The air seemed almost to solidify.

Word by word, Song Xueyu declared, “Gu Shaoshang from Sky God International!”

Pei Jinye silently watched her.

Song Xueyu continued with conviction, “It’s absolutely true!”

“Have you informed the Night Patrol Department?” asked Pei Jinye.

“No, I don’t trust them,” Song Xueyu answered quickly and directly, “I want to avenge the enemy with my own hands! But my strength alone is insufficient, so I beg you to help me.”

“Who told you Gu Shaoshang is the murderer?”

“I… I can’t tell!” Song Xueyu bit her lip, stubbornly lifted her head, and said with red eyes, “Just give me one Black Armor Death Warrior, and I won’t involve the Jiang family in this.”

Pei Jinye looked at this pitiful figure.

It was clear she had been used by someone.

However…

What did all this have to do with him?

“There are others responsible for avenging, you just need to wait in peace,” he said.

“Wait…” Song Xueyu’s face was full of resentment, “Su Hu was your most beloved grandson, how can you just watch his killer go unpunished! Is it because the murderer is from Sky God International? You might fear them, but I don’t! I know you have always looked down on women, but my husband has been killed, and I can still wield a knife…”

Pei Jinye watched her expressionlessly, “Do you really wish for revenge?”

“Yes!” the woman said decisively.

Pei Jinye immediately threw her a knife, “Actually, I don’t care who deliberately told you the so-called truth, but you need to understand one thing… exactly how capable you are.”

Song Xueyu’s face turned ghostly pale.

Pei Jinye’s indifferent voice came through, “Go back and tell the person behind you, if they try any more tricks next time, this knife will end up in their body.”

“You don’t believe me!” Song Xueyu felt humiliated.

But the next second.

A pair of indifferent eyes coldly focused on her, an intimidating aura pressing down so hard she couldn’t utter a word.

…

After Song Xueyu was led out, Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze.

He had no obligation to care for the life or death of the Jiang family, nor this woman’s…

But now that someone was scheming against the Jiang family in the dark, Pei Jinye had to step in to continue shearing the Jiang family’s wool.

“Check who is giving her advice, capture and interrogate them… Find out their Transcendent status, then inform me,” he instructed.

“Yes… should we capture them all?” the middle-aged butler cautiously inquired.

But the next second, upon meeting those eyes, he understood.

Pei Jinye, with his back to the middle-aged butler, lit an expensive Concentrate Incense stick worth thousands within the room, its scent designed to concentrate the mind and relieve fatigue.

The middle-aged butler quickly bowed his head in agreement.

He paused before adding, “Master, I have checked the records just now, and there are thirteen people in our mansion who have cultivated mental methods related to Vitality. Except for Li Yan and two others, the rest have practiced only the basic mental methods… Here are their records for your review.”

He handed over a tablet that had all the prepared information.

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised.

In less than ten minutes, he had collected all the necessary information.

He took the tablet.

He saw the information of Li Yan and two others at the top.

The other two had attended minor martial arts schools in Central State and had worked as enforcers for some small business owners before being poached by the Jiang Financial Group with high salaries.

As for this young man named Li Yan, the records showed he came from North Continent and after getting into trouble there, fled to Central State, where he fortuitously joined the Jiang family.

“This guard named Li Yan, has he cultivated the family’s mental method?”

“`

Hearing the old man’s inquiry, the middle-aged butler hurriedly said, “When he was interviewed, it was Young Master Xin Cheng who personally tested him. This young guard seems to come from a family that was once considered a regional overlord in a city in the North Continent, but he offended someone he shouldn’t have… That’s why he fled to Central State.”

“A family capable of creating their own mental method…” Pei Jinye accurately seized on this crucial point.

The middle-aged butler nodded slightly, “The North Continent has always held martial arts in high regard, with the majority of geniuses in history hailing from the North…”

“Have him come here now!”

“Now… Yes, elder!” The middle-aged butler was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly withdrew to summon the person.

For the head of a household to summon someone in the middle of the night, there was nothing wrong with that!

Twenty minutes later.

Li Yan promptly appeared in the backyard, quite obediently.

The heavy rain had stopped, but the courtyard breeze had brought a chill.

He stood before Pei Jinye submissively, not daring to raise his head.

“Family Head, did you want to see me?”

“I’ve heard you have some insights into Vitality Cultivation,” Pei Jinye said, taking on the persona of Jiang Qingcang and looking over with an authoritative air, “Let’s exchange a couple of moves.”

“This…” Li Yan was startled.

“If you walk the path of martial arts, you shouldn’t be so timid,” the aura around Pei Jinye unfurled and rustled the nearby leaves. At this moment, he wasn’t using all of his Vitality but merely the amount fitting to Jiang Qingcang’s stature.

Li Yan took a deep breath and, bracing himself, said, “Then, Family Head, here I come, please be careful.”

After he spoke.

He focused his Qi into his Dantian and shouted loudly as he threw his punch.

Under the light, a faint sheen could be seen on the surface of Li Yan’s fist.

Pei Jinye intercepted it with one hand.

Feeling the other’s strength.

“Show me your true power, let me see your worth.”

Hearing this, Li Yan said with a deep voice, “Family Head, please be careful.”

This time his power erupted much more intensely.

In an instant, they were entangled in a skirmish.

But Li Yan kept his mindset proper; he knew that the Jiang Clan Manor Head summoning him in the middle of the night was certainly not for the sake of a sparring match.

Hence, his successive attacks were forceful, yet they bore no intent to kill.

He didn’t dare harbor such intent anyway.

He dutifully acted as a whetstone, following “Old Master Jiang’s” movements, aiding in the honing process.

But after ten minutes.

Li Yan was sent flying on the spot, clumsily climbing out of the flower bed and awkwardly smiling as he said, “The Family Head is truly in his prime, I admire you greatly.”

Pei Jinye’s face remained calm, “Have you been Blood Refining?”

“The Family Head really has insightful eyes,” Li Yan quickly replied politely. He also knew that demonstrating his abilities was necessary to prove his worth.

Yet unexpectedly, the old man threw out a question.

“You’re from the North Continent?”

“Yes…” Li Yan’s heart skipped a beat, even forgetting to dust the mud off himself, he braced himself and asked, “Does the Family Head have any orders for me?”

“It’s not an order. They say that you North Continent people value martial arts; being able to step into Blood Refining at your age is indeed much stronger than in China.”

“You overstate it, Family Head. China emphasizes education and is somewhat more stable than the North Continent. Although martial arts might be slightly more developed in the North, it’s all relative…” Li Yan replied, feeling somewhat relieved.

Before he could continue flattering, he was interrupted.

“Talk about the Technique you’ve been practicing, name your price to teach me.”

The elder Family Head’s succinctness caught Li Yan off guard, and the words stuck in his throat; he had thought that his enemies had followed him, but it turned out to be this kind of matter.

“You…”

“Any reservations?” Pei Jinye looked at him.

Li Yan responded earnestly, “Mainly because my mental method can harm the body, and at your age… I’m a bit worried. If you truly wish to learn, I will teach you, without asking for a penny. I’ve been working for the Jiang family for two full years, and they have treated me well. If there is a need for me, I will naturally do my duty.”

Pei Jinye looked at him an extra moment.
