“Master has gone missing…” Lin Xiawei said with a grave expression from the side of the road.

Pei Jinye was startled, “Gone missing? What exactly happened?”

Lin Xiawei recounted the message from the Knight Order in full detail.

After listening, Pei Jinye frowned, “Did you hear anything from eldest apprentice brother or second apprentice brother?”

They met up and assumed Master had returned to the Central Continent,” Lin Xiawei said solemnly, “but he definitely didn’t come back. Some experts from the Knight Order helped to confirm this fact.”

“How many days has he been missing?” Pei Jinye asked.

“From the first of the month till now.”

Pei Jinye fell into thought upon hearing this, “That means ten days already. Why is it only confirmed now? Is it because of the Knight Order’s procedures?”

Lin Xiawei shook her head, “Master has always been elusive. It was only recently that I noticed something amiss, so I asked an expert from the Knight Order for help yesterday. They confirmed that after reaching the Edge of the Northern Continent, he simply vanished. The last place he was seen was at the border of the North Continent.”

Pei Jinye asked, “Did Master have some top-secret mission?”

“I checked, and there was none,” Lin Xiawei sighed lightly, “He’s about to retire; he wouldn’t be on any secret missions. I’m just afraid that he might have accidentally entered a space-time rift…”

Pei Jinye looked at her upon hearing this.

He was naturally aware of the concept of space-time rifts.

Spatial rifts, formed by tears in the void, a tiny crack could potentially “devour” even a Seventh Rank Extraordinary person.

Just like a black hole devours the surrounding galaxies, no one knows if a person can still be alive after being devoured.

“With his strength, he wouldn’t fail to detect such danger, right?” Pei Jinye asked, puzzled.

Lin Xiawei nodded and fell silent.

Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the silence.

Lin Xiawei answered the call.

It wasn’t long before…

“Are you sure?” she looked up at Pei Jinye, then said into the phone, “I understand, thank you.”

After hanging up, she immediately said, “We’ve found the reason. A small town in the North Continent suffered a beast tide, and Master intervened, triggering the local prohibitions… It’s basically confirmed that the place is an ancient ruin. The still-existing prohibitions that could trap Master are probably not insignificant.”

Pei Jinye heard this and replied, “As long as it’s not a space-time rift, there’s still a chance to come out.”

“The old man talks about opportunities every day. This time, it’s hard to say whether it’s a blessing or a curse,” Lin Xiawei shook her head, then signaled to pass the message on to those three senior brothers.

After the call, Lin Xiawei said to Pei Jinye, “Eldest senior brother did a divination for you, telling you not to worry about the matters weighing on your mind recently. Let things take their course; there’s good fortune coming, but with just a bit of carelessness, it could also be a deadly threat.”

Pei Jinye felt a chill in his heart.

What else could he have been worried about recently?

Could eldest senior brother even sense that?

“Don’t worry, although eldest senior brother knows a bit of divination, he’s not so good as to see through someone’s heart,” Lin Xiawei seemed to notice his thoughts and comforted him, “However, since he has sensed your concerns, it means your mindset has been unstable lately. Relax your mind. Whether it’s life or cultivation, you must be calm first before everything can go smoothly.”

“Thank you for your advice, senior sister,” Pei Jinye nodded.

Lin Xiawei didn’t take it to heart, and said softly, “Da Peng City is ultimately too small. I don’t object to your staying here, but still, be careful… not everyone is one of us. They’ve gotten used to staying in small places, and they often put interest first in many matters.”

“Are you talking about the Gongsun Family matter?” Pei Jinye looked at her.

Lin Xiawei nodded, “I might not be able to stay with the Investigation Team much longer.”

“Are they trying to force you out?” Pei Jinye furrowed his brows, “The Gongsun Family is no longer a concern; what are they worried about?”

“The Gongsun Family isn’t a concern, but what some people care about is the significance behind this matter. Let’s leave it at that; it’s about saving face,” Lin Xiawei said calmly, “If things go quickly, I’ll leave within a week; if slowly, within two months. Master needs help, and I don’t have the energy to keep staying here.”

“Are you going alone?”

“I’ll go first; second senior brother will follow,” Lin Xiawei seemed to understand Pei Jinye’s thoughts, “This time, you should stay away from the North Continent trip, just focus on your cultivation. You’ve already reached Extraordinary Third Rank, so you have the ability to protect yourself in Da Peng City.”

Pei Jinye silently looked at her.

Looking at him, Lin Xiawei showed a rare smile, “There will be opportunities for you to take action in the future. For now, let us few senior brothers and sisters take the lead.”

Pei Jinye sighed lightly, “I understand the rationale, it’s just that I’m a bit worried… I hope senior brothers and sister take care, and bring Master back safely.”

“Don’t worry.”

…

After a brief parting with his senior sister, Pei Jinye returned to the Jiang family to begin his cultivation.

After the “casual chat” with his senior sister today, he was clear that although as an Extraordinary Third Rank he is considered high-end combat power in Da Peng City, compared to the Five Continents…

“It’s still not enough.”

“Young master.”

A young butler in his twenties appeared respectfully in front of Pei Jinye.

This was the new butler assigned to his grandfather by the family, trained by the previous middle-aged butler, and originally was supposed to wait a few more years to be gradually placed.

But fate had other plans.

Pei Jinye looked at him quietly, “What’s your name?”

“Reporting to the young master, my name is Zhong Xuan. I am a graduate of the Butler Department at the Central Continent Martial University…”

The young man said a lot.

Apparently quite proud.

With his qualifications and achievements, he’d always been able to boast about them.

But to his surprise, the usually impressive response did not follow.

In front of him, the young master just gave a muted “hmm,” then asked, “Has someone informed you of the rules for entering and leaving this place?”

“Yes, young master. I need your permission to enter and exit here daily and must prepare the medicinal meals every time,” Zhong Xuan replied respectfully, sensing that the person before him was not easy to get along with, he unbent his confidence a bit, appearing somewhat cautious.

Pei Jinye waved his hand dismissively.

The young butler didn’t dare to linger and tried to maintain his composure as he left.

Only after leaving the room did he realize that his back was drenched, feeling a sense of relief as if he had narrowly escaped disaster.

“Too terrifying.”

Zhong Xuan hastened his departure.

Not long after.

He heard a muffled sound coming from the back mountain.

Worried that something might have happened to the old master, he was just about to step back when he suddenly remembered the earlier admonition and dared not take that step lightly.

“You’re lucky you didn’t go in.”

Just then, a young man with a cold expression appeared behind him.

Zhong Xuan jumped in fright.

“You… I’ve seen Young Master Xin Cheng.”

The person was none other than Jiang Xinrun.

Jiang Xinrun’s expression was cold, “Since you’re here, you must follow the rules. If you dare have any malicious intentions, no matter who vouched for you, you are undoubtedly dead.”

“Young Master Xin Cheng, you’re too serious. I’ve been an orphan since childhood. If the Family Head had not kindly supported my education, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. Now, it’s about time that I repay that kindness.”

Jiang Xinrun looked at him.

Zhong Xuan bowed and retreated.

Jiang Xinrun cast a glance at the door knocker and pressed the video intercom above it.

“Family Head, I’ve come to report.”

“Enter.”

Pei Jinye’s aged voice came through.

Zhong Xuan, who was originally leaving, couldn’t help but pause, and he looked back, feeling inexplicably nervous.

He suddenly realized…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He actually felt a sense of nervousness akin to walking with a tiger.

…

…

“I threw the severed hand of the Wu family’s man over to the Second House and found out that it was Jiang Pingchang who stirred up the Wu family’s involvement in the takeover case. I broke his legs…”

Jiang Pingchang, that is, Jiang Lingsu’s father.

This second elder of the Jiang Family Second House, who originally did not accept his big brother Jiang Pinghe’s authority, would probably have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

However, under Jiang Xinrun’s indifferent description, it added a sense of the Jiang Family’s domineering obedience.

He paused.

“The Second House could probably guess that we were the ones behind this.”

“So what if they can guess? What matters now is evidence,” Pei Jinye said indifferently.

At this moment.

The Jiang family’s Crown Prince called.

He said that the Second House was begging for mercy.

Pei Jinye did not hang up the phone but looked up at Jiang Xinrun, “Today, you lead the team personally to the Second House. Have them hand over the business.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Xinrun responded calmly but with utmost respect.

On the phone, the Crown Prince said softly, “Father, after swallowing all shares of the Second House, our shareholding ratio will exceed the Five Continents Foundation.”

Pei Jinye narrowed his gaze, “I don’t care about being the major shareholder, I want absolute power. Find a way to devour the Five Continents, understand?”

“Yes… Father.”

The call ended.

Pei Jinye tapped on the back of his phone.

He wanted to devour all the business channels and make them his private kitchen.

The Wu family, itching to make a move, must be pushed out of Da Peng City’s territory regardless of whether they are fully aware or pretending to be fools!

…

Nan Du City.

“Bang!”

An exquisite vase was smashed to pieces.

A cry of shock and anger came from within the Wu family’s mansion.

“Jiang Qingcang, he’s got some nerve to kill someone from my Wu family! So what if he crippled his dog, how dare he strike! Does he no longer regard my Wu family?”

The cold wind was biting.

That day.

A high-ranking member of the Wu family personally led a team to Da Peng City.

…

Pei Jinye received a call from the Wu family, hoping to sit down for a talk.

“Talk? Sure. First, make the Five Continents Foundation spit out their shares, or there’s nothing to discuss.”

The call ended.

Pei Jinye slowly closed his eyes.

Then opened them again, seething with killing intent, and said:

“Summon someone.”
