I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 425: [342] Finally met with Master Chang, discussing the Dao and the killing intent (asking for monthly passes, recommendations, and legitimate copies)_1n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Brother Bi’s call came first.

Knowing that Pei Jinye was okay, Brother Bi was still a bit confused, like a monk who can’t find his head.

Having seen Wu Zhuofei’s aggressive demeanor before, he had thought that Pei Jinye would really be in trouble—was it all just a lot of noise with little to no result?

“This Captain Wu is also a paper tiger,” Brother Bi turned his head and said to Zhou Ye.

Brother Kui from the third team was also clueless.

“What do you want with our captain?”

“Did I say that?” Brother Bi played dumb immediately.

“Damn it, I was sleeping well and you dragged me out of bed…” Brother Kui cursed under his breath.

…

Not long after Pei Jinye left, Wu Muyu returned to Wu Zhuofei’s office with a file in her hand and saw Wu Zhuofei cleaning his wound.

She hurriedly said, “Second brother, do you need to go to the hospital?”

“No need, it’s not suitable for the outside world to know about my injury, what’s the matter?” Wu Zhuofei put down his clothes and covered the box of bruise ointment.

“It’s like this, I have just confirmed something through a private channel.” Wu Muyu spread out the documents in her hand and handed them over, “This guy named Pei Jinye really is a member of the Knight Order, but he’s on reserve duty and hasn’t gone through the beginner assessment yet.”

Both of them were clear on what reserve duty meant.

Barely counts as a member of the Knight Order.

But if there’s no one backing him, he’s equivalent to an outsider.

“What exactly is his relationship with Lin Xiawei…” Wu Zhuofei said, then shook his head, “Forget it, no need to investigate him anymore. You saw just now, this guy is not weak. Let’s not provoke him before the Teacher arrives, let’s focus on the more important matters first.”

“But he’s so arrogant…” Wu Muyu said unwillingly.

Wu Zhuofei calmly said, “Don’t underestimate anyone. You also know Xu Tian, promising future, but what happened? He looked down on this place. Get your emotions in check, you don’t need to bother with this matter anymore.”

“Okay…”

Wu Muyu had come excitedly but left in disappointment.

She didn’t know the real purpose of Wu Zhuofei’s visit here.

To her, the most tangible feeling was frustration.

The Wu family has never easily bowed its head for no good reason.

…

…

…

Bronze Association.

“Teacher, your complexion…” Fang Tianjian looked on with concern.

For him, in Da Peng City, there was probably no stronger support than Teacher Chang, even more so than the Fang Family.

“It’s nothing, just an old ailment,” Teacher Chang stared at Fang Tianjian for a while, then withdrew his gaze with disappointment.

He gave a few pointers to Fang Tianjian, when suddenly the sound of discussion arose, attracting their attention.

“Is that Senior Pei?”

“Yes, it is.”

“He’s really strong.”

“I just sparred with him for two moves, and I couldn’t hold on.”

“Shit, I lost at the first move.”

Teacher Chang thought he had misheard the name and called those two over, only then did he find out that Pei Jinye had truly arrived.

He immediately took Fang Tianjian to the back mountain.

As the relatively best among this batch of disciples, Fang Tianjian indeed enjoyed the special treatment of being the premier disciple under Teacher Chang.

However, if he knew what this special treatment implied, he’d probably be scared out of his wits by now.

Back mountain.

A figure rushed upwards, double fists casting over a dozen shadows to envelop the stationary figure ahead.

Many were looking forward with anticipation to see if Gu Zilei could withstand up to the fifth move under Pei Jinye’s hands.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Pei Jinye simply raised his hand and pressed forward directly, causing Gu Zilei to stagger backward, only to be pulled back by others around him.

“Concession,” Pei Jinye’s gaze was gentle.

Gu Zilei’s old face turned bright red. As one of the few senior students present, even he thought he could last a few more moves under Pei Jinye’s hand.

Who would have thought he’d be defeated on the first move.

His face was flushed with shame.

Especially when he saw Teacher Chang had also arrived, his embarrassment deepened.

“I’ve seen Teacher Chang.”

“I’ve seen the teacher.”

“I’ve seen the teacher.”

The crowd greeted him one after another.

Upon seeing Pei Jinye, Teacher Chang’s eyes were warm, ignoring Fang Tianjian beside him. He stepped forward, his voice tinged with a smile, “That last move was commendable…”

His words drew everyone’s attention.

Many students nodded in agreement as they listened.

In the end, Teacher Chang turned to Pei Jinye, “It’s been some time since we last met, and I was worried that you might encounter difficulties in your cultivation, but now it seems… you’ve grown quite a bit.”

“It’s all thanks to Teacher Chang’s motivation,” Pei Jinye said with sincere eyes.

Teacher Chang, naturally unaware of the deep meaning behind these words, laughed heartily, and after dispersing the crowd, he took Pei Jinye alone to his teahouse.

“Newly built?” Pei Jinye feigned “surprise.”

“The students know I love drinking tea, so they got together and built a simple teahouse. I usually come here to drink tea,” Teacher Chang said with a smile, then asked, “What kind of tea do you like?”

“I’m fine with anything. I’m usually focused on cultivation and don’t know much about tea. Teacher Chang, don’t bother,” Pei Jinye politely declined, his gaze on Teacher Chang’s tea canister.

“Since you’re here, you must try my black tea, best suited for the winter,” Teacher Chang enthusiastically grabbed a handful of tea leaves.

If it weren’t for the fact that both had their own schemes, anyone who saw the way they interacted might think one revered his teacher and the path, while the other was truly a paragon of teaching.

The ensuing conversation between the two was filled with wisdom and fraught with probing.

Teacher Chang mostly attempted to test Pei Jinye’s cultivation and even warmly invited him to spar.

But Pei Jinye declined.

He said he had already warmed up for a long time with the students of the Bronze Association and truly had no energy left.

Teacher Chang then urged him to drink the tea quickly.

Pei Jinye sighed inwardly.

There must be something added to this tea.

He picked up his tea cup, but just as he was about to drink, he put the cup down again and earnestly said,

“Teacher Chang, to be honest, there are really not many people I admire on my journey, but I truly admire only you, Teacher Chang.”

Teacher Chang paused, slightly stunned, then emotively said, “There are countless capable people in this world, and I’m just one of the less significant ones. Drink the tea, it’s not as good when it cools.”

“Alright.” Pei Jinye was about to drink, but then he said, “Teacher Chang, I’ve always been curious about one thing. Since the Body Technique System is a cornerstone and proof of strength in martial arts, why can’t the associated cultivation techniques become more widespread?”

Teacher Chang appeared unfazed by Pei Jinye’s question, a question so similar to what he himself had once asked, and said evenly, “According to the country’s development, the role of warriors is after all not as valuable as that of doctors and scientists. You’re young; you don’t need to think about these matters. There will naturally be those who shoulder the burden for you.”

Pei Jinye glanced at him.

You old dog, you just want to shoulder the burden in my place, huh?

He glanced at the numbers above Teacher Chang’s head.

[220-288]

He sighed inwardly.

This old thief seems a bit powerful.

“Teacher Chang…”

“Hmm?”

“Have you ever heard of mechanical ascension, data eternity?”

“Ah?”

Teacher Chang was taken aback.

The tea cup Pei Jinye had lifted was put down once more, and Teacher Chang’s eyelids involuntarily trembled.

“Let me get you another cup of tea.”
