Pei Jinye sat in Zhao Xiaoxi’s car and went to visit the new home en route.
“It’s a pity it isn’t finished ”
The Education Department’s reward was a 120-square-meter rough-house, which would need some time to be decorated.
But luckily, everything was set.
After the renovation, they would no longer need to rent that small flat.
When the property deed was presented to Father Pei and Mother Pei, they were stunned and asked several times, “Is this real?”
Pei Jinye told them to take a day off and not to set up their stall today, which left the elderly couple somewhat hesitant.
After much persuasion, Pei Jinye took them to see the new place and even gave them 200,000 yuan in cash for the renovation.
Father Pei was completely dumbfounded.
Looking at each other, he and Mother Pei were totally clueless about what had happened.
“Where did you get all this money from?”
“It’s the awakening reward.”
Father Pei was stunned, “They give cash as a reward now?”
“Of course they do, but there are conditions. I got money because I’m good enough, but don’t tell anyone Our school’s Fang Hai was too showy and got ambushed and killed on his way ”
Pei Jinye said with a mix of truth and falsehoods.
The old couple, having seen lots of scheming at the bottom of society, now heard that a young lord of the Fang Family was ambushed and killed for being too showy, and their expressions of joy faded.
Pei Jinye then reassured them, “You don’t need to worry too much. I already have a Teacher in my cultivation and I will only get stronger in the future. Our family’s life will only get better.”
He gestured to the cash in the bag.
“I am now a Transcendent, and there are plenty of opportunities to make money. So you two mustn’t try to save on my account; if it’s not enough, just tell me.”
Mother Pei looked at Father Pei, who was smiling naively.
Pei Jinye reflected inwardly.
This was just the beginning
But it also meant that he had now entered the game and would face increasingly dangerous situations.
Having seen off the elderly couple,
Pei Jinye transferred all of Lan Feng’s assets and spent half a day on the black market to dispose of the gold bars in hand.
He also spent 20,000 yuan to open an anonymous bank account.
Deposit: 357,000 yuan!
Apart from that, Lan Feng had left him with four bottles of intermediate nutrient solution, each worth 50,000 yuan, to strengthen his body.
Overnight, his net worth had risen so rapidly that Pei Jinye himself found it unbelievable.
After dealing with Lan Feng’s inheritance, he wasted no more time and boarded the light rail train to the Bronze Association.
As for the money the Lan Family left to Lan Feng, Pei Jinye didn’t touch a cent, as that money wasn’t like the secretly laundered funds in the secret account – using it would easily leave a trail and expose him.
The scenery whipped past him.
Pei Jinye sat quietly in his seat, resting with eyes closed.
From the beginning, he was just a high school student who wanted a house through awakening.
But now, by a twist of fate, he had become a member of the Old Gods Association
Pei Jinye reflected calmly on his current situation.
He had replaced Lan Feng, joined the Federation’s archenemy, the Old Gods Association, and his official identity was now that of a lawful Federation citizen.
Even Ice Sister and Zhao Xiaoxi didn’t know his plan.
The Old Gods Association itself kept the identities of even fellow teammates secret, which ironically helped Pei Jinye.
Moreover, he had mastered Lan Feng’s Transcendent ability and inherited his memories; in some sense, he truly could become Lan Feng!
So he wasn’t worried about the Old Gods Association killing him, but rather that he had to be careful of being targeted by the Federation.
And now the person who might risk exposing his identity was Master Faceless, who once recruited Lan Feng into the organization.
Only he knew all of “Lan Feng’s” information.
Even Black Shark and Silver Art didn’t know the true identity of “Arrogance.”
During their interactions, “Lan Feng” always wore a disguise and masked himself.
“Actually, infiltrating the Old Gods Association might not be entirely a bad thing ”
“With the identity of the Old Gods Association, I can request the relevant cultivation resources ”
“Moreover ”
“Even if the people of the Old Gods Association really betrayed me, what do I have to worry about? I am Pei Jinye, what does Lan Feng’s being a rebel have to do with me, Pei Jinye?”
“It’s just that the Lan Family is like a fishbone stuck in my throat.”
Pei Jinye let out a sigh.
“I am still too weak.”
The train doors opened.
Pei Jinye walked out into the cold wind.
“Previously, I set awakening as my goal, and only after becoming truly awakened did I realize that was just the beginning.”
“I really just want to cultivate in peace ”
Bronze Association·Martial Training Ground.
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
Pei Jinye finally began practicing the technique Teacher Chang gave him last night:”Quake”.
With half a day already wasted of the three-day promise, Pei Jinye was not flustered. He had made a new discovery about the frequency of Appearance Light Group occurrences.
It seemed to trigger every two or three days.
Today was the third day, and he wanted to see if he could trigger it
As for the key to the technique”Quake”, it was to unleash one’s strength in a moment to create a shock wave, producing multiple times the explosive damage.
Just when Pei Jinye was at a loss, Li Xiaoyin came over with interest: “Have you started practicing cultivation techniques? Is this the Quake Technique?”
Pei Jinye looked up, “Senior sister.”
He told her about Teacher Chang’s assessment to enter the Inhouse in three days.
Li Xiaoyin did not seem surprised: “You have good talent, Teacher Chang might be considering taking you as a disciple. The Quake is not a simple technique; if you can get a sense of it within three days, it means you are really impressive.”
Pei Jinye gave a wry smile: “Senior sister, don’t tease me. A day has passed and I haven’t even found a clue.”
Li Xiaoyin chuckled softly.
She didn’t know if it was because Teacher Chang brought up the three-day assessment to join the Inhouse, or because Ice Sister had given some feedback, but at this moment, Li Xiaoyin’s attitude towards Pei Jinye became friendlier.
“Watch closely, I’ll demonstrate the force of a quake for you.”
Li Xiaoyin gestured.
“Vitality circulates feel it if you’re using your fist, then pay attention to your arm, find its point of force, Vitality bursts, move instantaneously.”
“Bang!”
Li Xiaoyin threw a punch into the air, causing a booming sound.
She looked at Pei Jinye: “How about that, is this explanation clear?”
Pei Jinye recalled the force of the punch just now, the bending of the arm, the entire shoulder and elbow moved together and suddenly threw out a punch.
It was just that the sound was not as loud as Li Xiaoyin’s.
However, Li Xiaoyin nodded: “Not bad, that’s the idea. You can reduce the movement a bit, eliminate unnecessary actions, to increase the speed of your punch ”
Li Xiaoyin patiently explained the key points of the technique and Pei Jinye absorbed them eagerly.

One hour later.
Li Xiaoyin did not disturb Pei Jinye’s cultivation and turned to leave, heading for Teacher Chang’s resting room.
“Lan Feng is from the Old Gods Association? Has the information been confirmed?” Teacher Chang looked at Li Xiaoyin.
Li Xiaoyin shook her head: “It’s not certain yet. My brother meant for me to report to you, the Investigation Team might come over. Right now, Lan Feng has disappeared.”
Teacher Chang smoked silently, drawing on his pipe without a word.
He slowly said, “It’s okay to investigate, but keep it quiet.”
“I understand, I will definitely convey your wishes to them,” Li Xiaoyin said respectfully as she exited the room.
Teacher Chang continued his smoking motion, the smoke enveloping his face until it was obscured.
