“Thousands of Autumns in a Big Dream, what year is it this evening?”

Pei Jinye opened his eyes and exhaled a breath.

Thanks to the [100% Proficiency] Attribute Light Group he had just acquired, he successfully upgraded “Big Dream for Thousands of Autumns” to [Breaking the limit level].

With the help of countless memories of cultivation, his spiritual power soared rapidly within a mere three hours.

[Spiritual Power: 15-15]

An illumination sparked before Pei Jinye’s eyes.

“I wonder if I can now handle the Lin brothers from the Heaven God’s family…”

The way the opponents integrated swordsmanship and their physical bodies using their vitality made him envious.

However, neither the Jiang Family Business nor the internal marketplace of the Old Gods Association had such an overwhelmingly powerful technique on offer.

And the sight of Lin Ye nearly severing Tai Yuan entirely with a single sword strike was particularly brutal.

“Buzz—Buzz—”

His phone suddenly vibrated.

Pei Jinye then noticed that it was already evening.

Tang Huoyang had called; his uncle’s car was ready, inviting him to join for dinner and then to undergo hypnosis for sleep.

Pei Jinye gave a nearby location, changed his attire, and quietly left.

15 minutes later.

In the luxury sedan.

Tang Huoyang looked at the torrential rain outside the window, also frowning, “Such heavy rain today, and the weather forecast only mentioned showers. This damn thing has been going on for twelve hours and still hasn’t stopped.”

Pei Jinye got into the car, shook the water droplets off his umbrella, and then pulled the car door shut.

Tang Huoyang picked up a blue-and-white lunch box from beside him and offered it, “Here.”

Pei Jinye looked puzzled.

“This isn’t mine. Why are you giving it to me?”

Tang Huoyang replied helplessly, “Brother, this is what Sun Ruofan left for you. You didn’t touch your meal at all.”

Pei Jinye took it skeptically, “She didn’t tell me, and I didn’t notice. But are you sure this is for me?”

Tang Huoyang with a face full of regret, “But it’s such a waste given your appearance, especially with a heart of wood.”

“It’s you who’s overthinking. Sigh, I guess she is still thinking about that time on the tram when I saved her.” Pei Jinye shook his head and opened the lunch box, which had a meticulously prepared combination of three dishes, meat and vegetables included.

Tang Huoyang lamented, “It’s tough to accept a beautiful woman’s gratitude. Later at my uncle’s, let’s have the servants heat it up, and even if you don’t like it, at least take a bite. Later, you can explain it to her properly.”

Pei Jinye nodded, “That’s my intention too.”

Qi Hengtian helplessly looked at his daughter, “Did you sneak out again?”

Sun Ruofan lowered her head, looking at her toes.

Qi Hengtian shook his head with a wry smile, “It seems our Ruofan has grown up.”

Sun Ruofan stole a glance at him.

Qi Hengtian gestured for her to sit down and spoke with deep meaning, “I know you won’t believe me if I say it’s not about your feelings, but with my current status, I’m always worried you’ll be exploited… That’s why we told you not to frequent the Bronze Association.”

“He saved me, and I just wanted to repay him in my own way… Actually, I don’t know much about him, but I think since Sister Xiao Yong approves of him, his character can’t be too bad,” Sun Ruofan seemed to gather courage as she spoke her mind, “I don’t know what the feelings between men and women are like now, but to him, I’m just grateful. If I had to say a bit more… I also feel like getting closer to him.”

Getting closer… Qi Hengtian’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“I don’t object to you making new friends, daughter, but we should agree on one thing: you need to tell me before you go out, don’t sneak off. I don’t want to face an accident one day.”

“I was wrong, I’m sorry.” Sun Ruofan thought for a moment and decided to apologize.

After watching her return to her room to do homework, Qi Hengtian sat on the couch deep in thought. After a while, he sent a message to his secretary.

[Look up Pei Jinye.]

[Okay, Boss Qi.]

Inside the Tang Yulou villa.

Liu Huilan welcomed them warmly, and Tang Yulou’s complexion looked somewhat rosier.

But Pei Jinye knew that this health was built on a pile of money.

For ordinary people, there was no way they could afford such a price for health in just two days.

Tang Yulou was also very invigorated, desiring to get up and practice a set of boxing right away, but was stopped by both Tang Huoyang and his wife, Liu Huilan.

They entertained him with delicious foods and drinks.

Tang Yulou casually mentioned the incident of his car being impounded yesterday, “The person responsible for the impounding has been transferred to work at a nursing home. Also, can you and that young master from the Fang Family stop being so childish? Just an hour ago, a senior from the Fang Family specifically sent a message. If he hadn’t, we wouldn’t have known about all those calls you made to the police.”

Pei Jinye looked on in disbelief.

Is this your idea of “an eye for an eye”?

Tang Huoyang shamelessly declared, “If someone offends me, I shall repay it tenfold!”

Auntie Liu Huilan chuckled beside him, “Repay tenfold, the Fang Family is petty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have relayed the message to your second uncle and third uncle. I bet your dad will know soon enough, and you’re not going to be spared.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Huoyang was immediately annoyed, “Fang Tianjian is too much! He actually went to ask our family to get involved with something between him and me! Tomorrow I’ll make sure all of Da Peng City knows about him wetting his pants in class during elementary school!”

“Virtue.” Tang Yulou laughed and cursed.

Tang Huoyang’s phone rang at that moment.

Seeing the incoming call alert, Tang Huoyang immediately shrank his head.

“Your dad’s calling? Haha, the troops are out to punish you.” Liu Huilan teased him from the side.

Tang Huoyang felt a headache coming on.

But he still answered the phone.

Pei Jinye could hear the roar of a furious lion through the phone from a body’s distance away.

With his face red and his ears burning, Tang Huoyang stood up, said something in a whiny voice, and then raised his voice: “Old Tang, what are you afraid of? Show some of the Tang Family’s courage, okay? It’s just the Fang Family, let’s flatten them tonight!”

Having said that.

He turned around, threw the phone on the table, and feigned calmness: “Old Tang is getting more and more unreasonable. Let’s not talk about him, let’s eat.”

He also gave Pei Jinye a “it’s a trifle” look.

Pei Jinye was speechless.

After the meal.

The four of them sat together and chatted. To accommodate Pei Jinye, Tang Yulou and Liu Huilan also deliberately talked about some interesting cultivation stories, like the celebrity tales that happened in Da Peng City years ago.

At nine o’clock that night.

Liu Huilan went downstairs to the living room with Tang Huoyang, while Pei Jinye and Tang Yulou went to the bedroom.

“Mr. Xiao Pei, concerning my sleep issue, is there still no solution?” With just the two of them left, Tang Yulou’s expression became much more serious.

Pei Jinye paused as if deep in thought, “I’ve always been curious, during your sleep, have you dreamed of anything?”

“Dreams…” Tang Yulou fell into thought, “I also find it strange. It’s already been twice. I feel like I’ve lost twelve hours of memory, without a trace of dreaming.”

Pei Jinye asked quietly, “Perhaps, have you remembered any person or item that left a strong impression?”

“A strong impression…” Tang Yulou furrowed his brows, seriously pondering.

Before long.

His expression changed.

“You mean… you have a person in your mind, but you can’t remember who she is at all, and you suspect your memories have been erased…” Pei Jinye looked over.

Tang Yulou said gravely, “Do you have a way to help me recover?”

“All I can say is that through hypnosis you might recall it yourself, but I haven’t practiced the specific technique for memory restoration,” Pei Jinye sincerely said.

“I see…” Tang Yulou fell into thought, pressing this matter to the back of his mind for the time being.

After this entrance into the dream.

Pei Jinye once again entered Tang Yulou’s dark dream. This time, he observed carefully, but the Blood Spear, after devouring a small part of the darkness, didn’t seem to show any change.

Pei Jinye sighed.

Everything could only be attributed to the mysterious effects of the Gene Fragments from the Universal Gene for the time being.

In addition, as he wandered through Tang Yulou’s dream, he did not obtain any useful information that night and returned disappointed.

Ten minutes later.

He left Tang Yulou’s bedroom, gently closing the door behind him.

Soon after, Liu Huilan stood up to see him off.

Outside the door.

Tang Huoyang looked over and signaled, “Did you eat enough? Do you want to join me for a late-night snack later?”

“Let’s go.”

The rainstorm mentioned in the weather forecast had just stopped a few minutes ago.

The air was now filled with a mixed scent of the soil.

It was Tang Huoyang’s driver who came to pick them up, so they didn’t take Tang Yulou’s car.

Twenty minutes after leaving the wealthy district, Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang arrived at the bustling area and found a small but famous food store.

“Honestly, with your current ability, you’ll definitely have no problem with the big exam in the future, have you thought about where you want to go?” Tang Huoyang picked up a skewer of meat, eating and talking.

“I haven’t thought that far ahead.” Pei Jinye was savouring his food, looking up and asking, “I’ve always been very curious, take the people at the association, they all awakened earlier than the average high school student, do they still care so much about the big exam?”

“Old Pei, I don’t know if what I’m about to say will make you uncomfortable… but I mean no harm,” Tang Huoyang paused, then said, “The big exam really is just an entrance requirement for ordinary people, but for a small part of people, it’s just a formality. Their stage has always been those famous schools, not the big exam…

The big exam is simply a written test and a physical test. Although everyone is tested on the same content, our written test requirements are relatively lower.

As for the physical test, not to put it too bluntly, but us Awakeners could outperform any ordinary person even with our eyes closed, so there’s no point in comparing. The authorities are also aware of this, so basically one or two months before the exams, the recruiting of Awakeners is already completed, the rest is for ordinary people…”

Pei Jinye nodded in understanding.

Tang Huoyang put down the skewer and continued, “Take Fang Tianjian for example, he’s from First Middle School, in your grade; he hadn’t awakened when he joined the association last year, and managed to awaken around March of this year. He’s also afraid to stop his cultivation now because the truly top educational institutions are places everyone is desperate to get into… There are so many talents nationwide who want to get in, he can’t slack off or he’ll quickly be surpassed.

See, I said we have an early batch recruitment, right? When it comes to ordinary schools, they don’t care much about written tests, but for the top schools, Awakeners still need to be excellent at what they’re supposed to master in the exams. If you’re slightly off, they have the confidence to cut you off unless you’re the best of the best, and then the big shots might change their minds about you, but the chances are too low.

Also, why does everyone want to go to the top schools… the resources at big places are naturally advantageous. You’ve practiced ‘Twelve Lotuses,’ so you definitely know the gap between it and ‘Drawing Blood Art.’ What if I told you that at top schools, techniques on the level of ‘Twelve Lotuses’ can be found everywhere?”

“I believe it.”

Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang exchanged a smile.
