“I take my leave. Try to go home early for the next few days, we will find White Knife as soon as possible, we won’t let any innocent citizens be in danger.”
“Moreover, Boss Qi repeatedly emphasized that we arrange 24-hour protection for your personal safety, so if you notice our people around, there’s no need to worry.”
The middle-aged man formally promised, then rose and cupped his hands in respect, leaving the Bronze Association with the young man who had a disgruntled expression.
After getting into the car.
The middle-aged man looked at him with amusement, “Still can’t let it go?”
The young man didn’t dare to vent his anger on him, and said with restraint, “Brother Li has seen me make a fool of myself.”
The Li surnamed middle-aged patrol inspector laughed, thinking nothing of it, “Tang Huoyang is just straightforward, just like his brother.”
“His brother is?” The young man couldn’t help but ask curiously.
The Li surnamed middle-aged man smiled enigmatically, “Aren’t you curious about how the evil energy of Black Demon Mountain was suppressed? It was all his brother’s doing with one slash.”
The youth’s eyes widened instantly.
“Tang Wudi!!!”
The middle-aged man smiled, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Inside the room.
Tang Huoyang was still cursing under his breath, “Mad, he’s really been spoiled. Normally he’s so arrogant, always strutting around, look if I give a damn about him!”
Pei Jinye laughed next to him, “It’s me who has encountered trouble now, why are you angrier than me.”
Tang Huoyang huffed, “I just can’t stand such people, who are more cowardly than anyone when facing tough bandits, but strut around ordinary citizens. I’m not saying they’re all like that, but there definitely are some, like that guy just now, just thinking about it pisses me off.”
Pei Jinye shook his head, chuckling.
He wasn’t the least bit concerned about the Night Patrol Department’s matter.
White Knife was already dead, a fact only he knew for now, but with the preparations he left behind, it wouldn’t be long before his body was found.
However, thinking about Qi Hengtian’s arrangements, Pei Jinye felt both resentful and helpless.
Being secretly protected by the Night Patrol Department meant that until White Knife’s body was found, he couldn’t have any contact with the Old Gods Association… at least not overtly.
As the two talked, they turned to see Teacher Chang approaching slowly with a smoking pipe in hand.
“Teacher Chang?”
“I’ve seen Teacher Chang.”
Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang both greeted him respectfully.
Teacher Chang had an amiable expression, “Is it little Tang who has caused trouble again? Even the Night Patrol Department has paid a visit.”
Tang Huoyang, exasperated, “Teacher Chang, it wasn’t me. It was junior Pei who played the hero to save the damsel, which is why he got targeted by a gang of fugitives, and that’s why the Night Patrol Department came to find out the situation.”
“Hero saving the damsel? Little Tang, do tell,” Teacher Chang’s eyes, though cloudy, lit up slightly.
Pei Jinye:
Tang Huoyang chuckled mischievously, looking at him, then described the whole incident involving Pei Jinye and Sun Ruofan on the light rail train, without any exaggeration.
However, Pei Jinye felt as if he was hearing a romantic tragedy… Could it be an illusion?
Hearing that Pei Jinye single-handedly repelled three fierce bandits, Teacher Chang slapped the table and cheered.
“Little Ye did well, somewhat reminiscent of my own younger years. Didn’t Qi Hengtian show any gratitude? You saved his precious daughter after all.”
Pei Jinye shook his head helplessly, “Please, Teacher Chang, don’t tease me. Being able to cultivate in peace is more than enough for me.”
Tang Huoyang probed aside, “Teacher Chang, there’s still a Transcendent from the Mask Association who has escaped, do you have any powerful techniques you could teach him so he can protect himself?”
Teacher Chang laughed, “Little Ye hasn’t said a word, and yet you’re so anxious.”
Tang Huoyang laughed shamelessly, “Junior is too bashful to say it.”
Teacher Chang cut to the chase, “I think you want to learn a trick or two for yourself.”
Tang Huoyang, unashamed, chuckled and rubbed his hands together, “You, sir, were once the head coach of the Night Patrol Department, whose fame shook the whole Federation. Even the slightest hint you could offer would be our lifelong pursuit, if you—”
“Stop, stop,” Teacher Chang, stunned, quickly interjected, fearing that the youngster might soon proclaim him the hope of all humanity.
“You two, come with me.”
Teacher Chang turned and walked toward the back mountain.
Tang Huoyang laughed mischievously, giving Pei Jinye a significant look.
Pei Jinye silently gave him a thumbs-up.
Teacher Chang seldom taught anyone, and those young masters who wanted to learn also had to pay and queue up for his good mood.
During the many days since Pei Jinye had been at the Bronze Association, he could responsibly say that if it weren’t for being paired with Little Yin by chance, he, with no money and no background, might have been quickly thrown out.
A few words from Tang Huoyang could make Teacher Chang happy; there might actually be some genuine intention of providing guidance from him.
“You first,” Teacher Chang pointed at Tang Huoyang.
Tang Huoyang immediately used his ability and Technique, throwing a punch; then Teacher Chang just stretched out a hand and sent him flying with a shock.
Tang Huoyang fell in a sprawled heap on the spot.
Teacher Chang looked towards Pei Jinye and said, “Did you see which Technique I used?”
With neither arrogance nor servility, Pei Jinye replied, “It was Quake.”
“Correct,” Teacher Chang then looked towards Tang Huoyang, who was getting up from the ground, “I merely used the Small Success Realm of Quake, and you couldn’t withstand it. Your lower body is too weak; I really don’t know what you’re practicing usually.”
Tang Huoyang had a bitter expression on his face.
He was scolded after taking a beating.
“Small Success?” Pei Jinye was startled.
He was at the Small Success Realm of Quake too, but he couldn’t unleash such power.
“You come,” Teacher Chang looked towards Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye nodded, without any intention to conceal his Technique Quake.
He had kept a low profile on the outside because he didn’t want to attract too much attention.
But in front of Teacher Chang, the Technique Quake itself was learned from him, and after many days of cultivation, along with a small exposure on the light rail…
Showing his potential could make Teacher Chang think highly of him, secure some assistance in the future, and when the outside world noticed him, they might naturally attribute his improvement in strength to Teacher Chang.
Pei Jinye thought quickly and made his move swiftly.
However, as soon as he did, Teacher Chang exclaimed in surprise.
He raised his hand.
With extreme speed.
It even created a faint sound of breaking through the air.
Pei Jinye instinctively felt a piercing sense of crisis and quickly increased his strength.
In that instant, their forces collided.
The scene Tang Huoyang had envisioned, of Pei Jinye being sent flying backward, didn’t happen. He was dumbfounded and immediately complained, “Teacher Chang, this is too biased.”
Teacher Chang ignored him, let go of his hand, pinched Pei Jinye’s arm, and smiled broadly.
“Good lad, you’ve reached Great Success, haven’t you? If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t been practicing this Technique for even half a month, right?”
In a humble manner, Pei Jinye said, “Senior Sister Li told me a lot of tricks, and then I had a sudden outburst on the light rail, which led me to find the trick to it.”
“Hahaha, good! Very good!” Teacher Chang laughed heartily, “It seems I have paid too little attention to you usually, almost missing out on this excellent seedling.”
Pei Jinye remained as humble as an inexperienced junior.
Suddenly Teacher Chang asked, “What System are you from? It seems to be the Psychic Class, isn’t it?”
“Yes, Teacher Chang,” Pei Jinye respectfully nodded.
Teacher Chang felt a sense of regret; he had a legacy missing only an heir, and it was not easy to come across a fine seedling like Pei Jinye, yet not from the Body Technique System.
“However, my Techniques can still be cultivated; you’re from the Psychic Class, so you learn faster than others…”
“Is Teacher Chang worried that I will be distracted and lack the time to cultivate Psychic Class Techniques?” Pei Jinye recognized his concern.
On hearing this, Teacher Chang looked over, “What are your thoughts?”
Pei Jinye, like a disciple seeking knowledge in ancient times, bowed with clasped hands and said, “Please, Teacher Chang, teach me the method.”
Teacher Chang raised his eyebrows, nodded, and laughed heartily, “Not bad; I like the sharpness in you. Since that’s the case, I will first teach you one method…”
“This method is called “Twelve Lotuses”!”
Tang Huoyang: “What about me? What about me? Look at me…”
