Five days later, he would participate in the assessment…

As for the location of the assessment, even Ice Sister didn’t know.

It was said to be conducted uniformly across Central State, and it was uncertain if it would require leaving Da Peng City, though it would be best if it didn’t.

If he had to leave, the Old Gods Association might not be able to contact him for several days, and the other party might discover his true identity due to the matters relating to the assessment.

Currently, he and Black Shark were on the same level, so Black Shark couldn’t command him, but he didn’t exclude the possibility of the other party using superiors to pressure him.

Pei Jinye collected his thoughts.

Just take one step at a time and see how it goes.

He was determined to participate in the assessment five days later.

If he could achieve excellent results in this assessment, he would have the opportunity to access a larger world and encounter more powerful mental methods for cultivation.

The qualitative change from “Drawing Blood Art” to “Twelve Lotuses” had already highlighted many issues, and the scarcity of advanced heart methods had proven their value.

Both Ice Sister and Li Xiaoyin had mentioned that the means of cultivation in top martial arts schools in those major places were of superior quality, far beyond what Da Peng City could compare to.

Pei Jinye exhaled softly.

“I can’t be a frog in a well; only by stepping out will I see more!”

“But before stepping out, I must have enough strength!”

If he hadn’t sparred with Xu Tian from the major regions, Pei Jinye might have actually deluded himself into thinking he was already a master.

But the fact was, he couldn’t even kill Xu Tian, let alone Lin Jun and Lin Ye, the brothers from Heaven God.

“Still too weak!”

“Otherwise, I would have dealt with them all, and there wouldn’t be so many troubles!”

Pei Jinye looked up at the sky.

A sudden thunderous roar burst from the cloud-covered sky, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential rain swept over the entirety of Da Peng City.

“Little Ye, why have you come?”

In East Street District, inside the gastronomy street’s office building.

As soon as Pei Jinye emerged, Mother Pei, who was busy cleaning inside the room, couldn’t help but be stunned.

Pei Jinye, holding two bags of herbs, replied, “I was passing by and came to check in. Where’s Dad?”

“Your dad has an old classmate who came to look for him. The two of them are chatting somewhere,” Mother Pei said and then suddenly sighed with emotion, “Old classmates who rarely kept in touch before, now he’s come with local products after hearing that your dad is managing this place. Probably he wants to find work here… What do you think?”

Pei Jinye placed the herbs on the table, “These matters, you two elders can decide on your own; there’s no need to consider my opinion.”

Mother Pei, pondering upon hearing this, replied, “Then I’ll see what your dad has to say about it… Oh, what are these?”

“These herbs, you can boil them and drink them, once every three days, it’s good for your health,” Pei Jinye didn’t want his parents’ health to deteriorate, but it was too late now for them to join in the path of cultivation.

They had already missed the best opportunity, and their bodily functions had long since deteriorated… Any supplementation now would just be up to luck.

Pei Jinye grabbed a chair for himself and sat down, just as Sun San arrived with his people, each carrying something.

“Brother Pei, you’re here too.”

Seeing Pei Jinye there, Sun San’s eyes immediately brightened.

Pei Jinye didn’t care whether Sun San was pretending or not but nodded and gestured towards the stuff in his hands, “What’s all this?”

Sun San gestured for his subordinates to put down the stuff and said with a smile, “These are welfare goods distributed by the district, one portion per person. Auntie, please don’t overthink it; these rice, noodles, oil, and such were all allocated uniformly by the district. I have brought yours over, and you’ll also receive them during holidays. You two elders don’t need to make the trip all the way over.”

Mother Pei, half-skeptical, accepted the items in her hands, thanked him politely, and was quite surprised.

Pei Jinye smiled warmly as he looked over.

Sun San immediately knew to come over, and with a slightly embarrassed and pressured demeanor, he bent down and said, “Brother Pei, it’s fortunate you’re here; I have a little favor to ask of you.”

“Let’s talk outside.”

Pei Jinye got up, said a word to Mother Pei, and Sun San hurriedly followed him out.

In the Street Management Committee Captain’s office, Sun San wanted to pour tea for Pei Jinye, but was stopped by him.

“Just get to the point.”

Seeing this, Sun San put down the tea caddy and said with an awkward chuckle, “Brother Pei, do you still remember Boss Cai from before?”

“Who is he?” Pei Jinye had genuinely forgotten.

Sun San quickly explained, “He is the debt collection company boss that you helped to settle a dispute with the Xu Family Brothers some time ago. He discovered my whereabouts through some unknown channels and repeatedly requested to have dinner with you. I’ve turned him away several times on your behalf, but he insists on seeing you…”

Pei Jinye’s face showed a playful expression, “How much of a ‘finder’s fee’ did you take?”

Sun San was startled and hurriedly said, “Brother Pei, rest assured, I haven’t done anything disloyal to you, I just accepted a bracelet. If you like it, I can give it to you.”

Sun San revealed the agate bracelet in his hand, quickly taking it off.

Pei Jinye raised his hand to stop him, “You took it, so it’s yours, I didn’t say you couldn’t accept it. But why doesn’t that man focus on collecting debts? What does he want with me? Don’t tell me he wants me to help him collect debts?”

Sun San put the agate bracelet back on and quickly replied with a laugh, “How could that be possible? He emphasized repeatedly that he has always wanted to get to know you and is merely seeking to make your acquaintance, even preparing a meet-and-greet gift. I didn’t agree right away; it all depends on your wishes, Brother Pei. If you want to meet him, you can arrange the location on short notice, and I’ll have my brothers with me to ensure he doesn’t harbor any ill intent.”

Pei Jinye, whose protection he was counting on for his future prospects, was someone Sun San naturally didn’t dare to put at risk.

Pei Jinye just laughed, seeing his eager attitude.

He glanced at the time.

“Where is he now?”

Sun San was taken aback.

Torrential rain poured down, blanketing the entire Da Peng City in a veil of water.

Cai Weiqian leaned back in the boss chair, his brow furrowed with worries that he couldn’t seem to shake off, as if troubled by something.

Big Bald Old Wei spoke in a deep voice beside him, “Boss, do you think it will work out with Sun San?”

Cai Weiqian shook his head, but his tone was calm, “Everything depends on human effort.”

Old Wei pondered, “What if that guy thinks we’re inviting him to dinner to deal with him? Then we’d be wrongly accused, even the Yellow River couldn’t clean us.”

Cai Weiqian, unhurried, opened a drawer and took out a cigar, “That won’t happen. Sun San is a smart man, he won’t exaggerate… Although I didn’t get to talk much with that man last time, he is definitely very rational and calm. He must be aware that as a businessman like myself, what I lack is not enemies, but partners.”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the outside.

The curtains fluttered with a whooshing sound.

Cai Weiqian and Old Wei looked up instinctively, and were suddenly taken aback.

Upon seeing the shadowy figure that appeared so unexpectedly, Old Wei was so frightened he almost lost half his life, while the cigar fell from Cai Weiqian’s hands in shock.

As a boss who had weathered many storms, Cai Weiqian forced himself to regain composure, his face taking on an extra cautious smile, “Is that you, Brother Pei?”

The newcomer stood within the shadows, his features unclear as if he were a mere silhouette, yet he emanated an immense and indescribable deterrence.

A voice, altered by a voice changer, spoke up, “Boss Pei is busy; he sent me to ask if you’re looking to court death by bothering him time and again?”

In the room, the temperature suddenly plummeted to zero degrees!
