Chapter 678: 【507】Breakthrough! Attribute Points Ascend to New Heights! (Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscriptions)_1

After the young man in black left,

Pei Jinye continued to browse through the booklet in his hand, but in reality, he was thinking more about the Imperial Family of the Ancient Yao Light Country.

According to what the holder of the Silver Waist Card suggested, the Imperial Family of the Ancient Yao Light Country had the presence of Great Grandmasters, and not just a few.

This temporarily dispelled some notions that Pei Jinye had been entertaining.

As for pledging loyalty to this Imperial Family,

Pei Jinye had no such plans for now.

He had many secrets to keep.

Being around those old monsters of the royal family would inevitably lead to prying eyes.

Should a confrontation happen, he wasn’t sure he could come out on top.

Moreover, he didn’t plan to stay here long.

The same went for his stay with the Sima family.

He joined the Sima family to become stronger and to avoid hassles.

Though after joining, he realized that the Sima family had its fair share of troubles, fortunately, the brother and sister of the Sima family were not the troublesome kind.

As he was deep in thought, Sima Yingjun suddenly rushed back in a hurry.

Seeing his sweat-drenched, flustered appearance, Pei Jinye couldn’t help but look up, “You finished so soon?”

“Finished?” Sima Yingjun was startled, then suddenly understood what Pei Jinye meant, his face turning red as he said, “I’m a respectable person, Teacher Pei must not slander my innocence for no reason.”

Pei Jinye chuckled, “First wipe off the rouge from your neck before you talk.”

Sima Yingjun hurriedly turned his back and began frantically to wipe off the powder, then after a while, he reappeared in front of Pei Jinye, picked up a clean cup beside him, poured himself a glass of water, and then said, “There’s big trouble!”

Pei Jinye looked at him.

“I saw people from Mansion of King Mu starting to move around, conducting strict checks. I don’t know what major incident occurred, but even two of the Five Tiger Generals have appeared,” Sima Yingjun said with lingering fear, “Teacher Pei, shall we leave tomorrow morning… I have a feeling something big is going to happen in Jiangnan.”

“Okay.”

Pei Jinye was indifferent.

He had already cultivated the “Five Poison Heart Scripture” to the fourth level, and was close to breaking through.

And Jiangnan didn’t have an abundance of poisons, so staying here wasn’t meaningful.

As for acquiring cultivation techniques…

Pei Jinye hadn’t given it no thought.

But the road must be taken step by step.

Thoroughly master the techniques at hand first.

Night fell.

Pei Jinye was in the midst of cultivating.

Suddenly, a multitude of footsteps echoed from a distance.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Sounds of combat quickly arose.

Sima Yingjun, not even properly dressed, rushed to Pei Jinye’s side.

“Teacher Pei, something’s happening outside.”

“I know. Are our people still all here?” Pei Jinye asked.

“They should be, Master Hu and the others are in charge outside, and by now everyone has mostly woken up,” Sima Yingjun said with some regret, wishing he hadn’t gone out tonight—perhaps then they could have directly left Jiangnan without delay.

“Teacher Pei, what should we do now?”

“We need do nothing but lock the doors and windows tightly; what happens outside doesn’t concern us.”

Perhaps it was because Pei Jinye spoke so calmly that Sima Yingjun’s initially frantic heart gradually settled down.

Following Teacher Pei’s advice, although everyone from the Sima family knew Pei Jinye was strong, the scent of blood wafting over from the next street separated by a wall was still unnerving.

Fortunately, an hour after the clash, everything finally settled.

Hu Nianshan, the young Swordsman Jifeng, and Master Sun stayed on guard in the courtyard.

All three of them didn’t dare let down their guard.

But the night passed without incident.

The next morning came.

Sima Yingjun appeared before Pei Jinye with eyes like those of a panda.

With an honest and straightforward salute, he said, “Teacher Pei.”

Pei Jinye nodded at him then continued to quietly browse through the book in his hand.

The maid served breakfast by his side.

Sima Yingjun invited Pei Jinye to join him, but he politely declined, causing Sima Yingjun to feel puzzled.

“Teacher Pei, do you not eat because it’s not to your taste?”

“I’m not hungry,” Pei Jinye said unhurriedly.

Having eaten two dragonfish early in the morning, he naturally wasn’t hungry.

Sima Yingjun, unaware that Pei Jinye had secretly indulged himself without informing him, naively thought that Pei Jinye must have achieved the ability to fast.

He envied him deeply inside.

Just as Sima Yingjun was dining, Hu Nianshan hurried over.

Seeing his grave expression, Sima Yingjun couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “What’s the matter?”

“There’s been a disaster concerning the young master.”

“What kind of disaster?”

“We just received news that a great fire has broken out at the port, and all the ships inside have burned.”

“What!!!”

Sima Yingjun stood up abruptly in shock, “What about our ship?”

“Ours were burned as well,” Hu Nianshan said with a grim look.

“Truly gone?”

Sima Yingjun almost spurted out blood, his eyes bloodshot, “Who did it!!! Why would the ships be destroyed?”

“They say there was an explosion at the munitions depot this morning, which destroyed the entire port, damaging all the ships. Our ship was close to the site of the explosion and was completely obliterated.”

“Hiss!”

Sima Yingjun clutched at his chest and suddenly lost his appetite for food, slumping down onto a stone stool.

“Damn it, that ship was built by my sister at great expense… If she finds out about this, she won’t kill me, will she? Damn it!!!!!”

…

For the entire morning, Sima Yingjun busied himself dealing with the matter of his family’s ship.

He ran into Yuan Hua in the process.

Yuan Hua’s ship had also burned.

However, that ship was only used for his excursions, and the cost was merely a fraction of the price of the Sima family’s ship. It was burned, but he didn’t care.

Naturally, he didn’t say this in front of Sima Yingjun but instead offered a few words of consolation.

“Don’t worry, the Jiangnan Government won’t just sit by and ignore this. Have you completed the registration on your side?”

“I’ve completed it. They told me to go back and wait for news. Yuan brother, perhaps you have some connections?”

“I… I’ll think of a solution,” Yuan Hua said hesitantly.

If it were an ordinary ship, that would have been one thing.

But the Sima family’s ship was so expensive… the Jiangnan Government would probably really not compensate for it.

“Yingjun brother, I’m not trying to discourage you, but based on our relationship, I’m telling you all this. I wouldn’t say it to anyone else,” Yuan Hua advised.

“It’s all right for Yuan brother to speak freely,” Sima Yingjun said with a bowing gesture.

Yuan Hua spoke softly, “As far as I know, the Jiangnan Government’s coffers aren’t full at the moment. All I can do is help you look for connections, to see if there is some other compromise to be had.”

Sima Yingjun knew this was likely the outcome. Hearing Yuan Hua say this chilled his heart, and he bowed deeply and spoke with a heavy voice, “I’ll have to trouble you then, Yuan brother.”

After Sima Yingjun left.

Yuan Hua turned to the old man beside him, “Uncle Fu, what happened?”

“He didn’t come,” the old man murmured to himself, as if making some sort of judgment.

“Who didn’t come?” Yuan Hua didn’t understand.

After coming back to his senses, the old man shook his head, “Young master, there’s really no need to help the Sima family. These kinds of things are thankless tasks.”

Yuan Hua sighed, “Back when I was seeking an education, he helped me a few times. Let’s help if we can…”

The old man said nothing more.

…

Without a ship, Sima Yingjun was unable to return home and spent his time sighing in the guesthouse.

“I didn’t even know what happened last night, and now this happened this morning. Master Pei, tell me, what on earth is going on with Jiangnan?”

“I do not know.”

Pei Jinye replied with three words, continuing to focus on the book in his hands.

Sima Yingjun covered his face, “It’s over, all is over this time. I don’t even dare to go home… my sister will surely kill me, right?”

Pei Jinye saw him acting this way and just shook his head with a smile, without saying a word.

At that moment, Hu Nianshan brought in some news.

“Jiangnan is under martial law now. No one knows what happened, but people inside can’t get out, and outsiders can’t come in.”

“What exactly happened last night? Did you find out?” Sima Yingjun cursed, still most concerned about the previous night’s events.

Just the sounds of the skirmish he heard last night gave him nightmares.

To tell the truth, he didn’t want to stay in Jiangnan any longer, fearing that some great trouble might arise any day.

“The word is that Mansion of King Mu was invaded by thieves, a band of sea bandits entered the city, and the City Defense Army was mobilized last night for this very reason,” Hu Nianshan quickly explained.

“Sea bandits?” Sima Yingjun felt a little more at ease.

He didn’t notice the almost imperceptible sneer at the corner of Pei Jinye’s mouth.

However, he didn’t say anything about it.

Later that night.

“Five Poison Heart Scripture”, the fourth poison, broken through!

He successfully progressed towards the complete mastery of the fifth poison!

Simultaneously, his Attribute Points had already broken through 15,000!
