Chapter 84: Don’t seek overnight revenge; blood splatters three feet high (Thanks to the generous tip from ‘Black Night’s Long Song Dragon’)_2
“I thought it was someone tough.” Wei Xia sneered coldly before signaling, “Drive, to the clubhouse!”
“What’s wrong, Ranran?” her female companion quickly supported Lan Ranran.
Lan Ranran’s face flushed, but she didn’t dare reveal the real reason. Under the influence of the medicine last night, she retained some awareness and knew that Pei Jinye hadn’t taken advantage of her.
It was just the thought of what had happened at the bar last night.
Her heart felt chilled.
Go looking for trouble with Wei Xia?
But her family’s connections were not strong enough to support her.
Moreover, she had no evidence.
It might even turn into a huge scandal that shamed her family, and she herself could become the target of public condemnation.
She sighed.
Lan Ranran couldn’t help but think of Pei Jinye’s serious demeanor.
In fact, she was also aware that the person from last night really hadn’t had any improper thoughts towards her, otherwise, with such a good opportunity…
Various emotions rose in Lan Ranran’s heart.
The clubhouse cafeteria.
“Young Master Wei, Teacher Chang has already ordered that this time the clubhouse has obtained twenty Blood-red Carps, each weighing three pounds. Here is yours.”
The young man in charge of the kitchen courteously handed over a Blood-red Carp.
“Dead?” Wei Xia frowned.
The young man hurriedly replied, “They’ve just been processed, the blood energy hasn’t dissipated, but we still recommend consuming them within three days. Also, Young Master Wei, here is a list, it’s the same as before, you’ll distribute them personally.”
Wei Xia nodded and then saw the young man hand over a booklet.
He then saw the names Fang Tianjian, Jiang Lingsu, Tang Huoyang, and his gaze paused on Pei Jinye’s name.
“Pei Jinye too?”
The young man was taken aback, nodded, and smiled, “He was lucky, too. There were twenty Inhouse spots this time, and he was the last one.”
Wei Xia nodded calmly, “I see, there’s nothing more for you to do here.”
The young man smiled politely, “Then you’re busy, Young Master Wei.”
Wei Xia then made a call, asking his men to move the fish, but he deliberately wiped Pei Jinye’s name off the list.
The back yard.
Tang Huoyang received a phone call and then hurriedly said, “Old Pei, I’m heading home for a bit, I’ll find you in the afternoon.”
Pei Jinye waved his hand.
Then he continued to immerse himself in his cultivation.
He cultivated until seven o’ clock in the evening.
When leaving the back mountain, Pei Jinye suddenly noticed several Inhouse Students dressed in deep blue Martial robes, each carrying a big red carp. He couldn’t help but approach curiously.
Could these be the Blood-red Carps?
Whispers from the Outer Sect Students reached him from not too far off.
“I heard each Inhouse Student got a Blood-red Carp this time.”
“They are geniuses, don’t be envious.”
“Pei Jinye just became a Beginner, and he got one too, aren’t you jealous?”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I saw the list.”
Pei Jinye was stunned.
I got one too?
He stopped an Inhouse Student to inquire and found out he had to collect it at the cafeteria.
But by the time he got there,
All the Blood-red Carps had already been claimed.
“Where’s mine?”
The sturdy man left by Wei Xia looked over doubtfully, “What’s your name?”
“Pei Jinye.”
The sturdy man looked down at the booklet, then shook his head, “Your name isn’t here.”
“I’m not listed?” Pei Jinye frowned.
He said nothing more and turned to leave.
The burly man watched him leave and let out a cold laugh before dialing Wei Xia’s number, whispering politely, “Young Master Wei, that kid really showed up… Yes, I’ve tricked him just like you instructed… Yes, yes.”
The burly man didn’t realize that when he hung up the phone, a figure stood still just beyond a wall.
At 7:16 PM.
Dusk settled in, a streetlight near the entrance of the Bronze Association lit up, and the alley was quiet.
Clanging noises from a bucket approached the entrance; the burly man, carrying an empty bucket, walked towards his car when suddenly he felt a severe pain in his back. Before he could react, he lost consciousness.
Pei Jinye, wearing a cap, skillfully taped the burly man’s mouth and quickly tossed him into the trunk, then sped away in the car.
That night at 8:47 PM.
“Heard this year’s elite assessment is coming up, our Da Peng City got three slots for the exam…”
“I’ve heard about that too, Old Wei, is one of those slots yours?”
A few elegantly dressed youths looked at Wei Xia with flattering eyes.
Wei Xia smiled lightly, “It’s not me.”
“If it’s not you, then I heard it’s your Wei family. It’s not your younger brother, is it? Isn’t he a year younger than you? He’s taking the elite assessment already? Not waiting any longer?” someone asked with surprise and doubt.
Wei Xia just laughed it off, “There’s nothing to wait for.”
He glanced at the time, saw a text message on his phone, and then, picking up a brown briefcase, stood up and said, “It’s getting late; I should head back, got some matters to handle tonight.”
Everyone stood up to see him off.
After Wei Xia left, they all looked impressed, “Is the Wei family planning to make a big splash this time?”
“Looks like someone from the Wei family is aiming to climb higher.”
“With the Li family gearing up to advance, the Wei family definitely won’t fall behind. If Wei Xia’s brother really makes a name for himself, the Wei family will have more political resources in the future.”
“What kind of Transcendent power did his brother awaken?”
“Don’t know, the Wei family has been keeping it under wraps.”
Wei Xia walked out of the restaurant, exhaling a breath of alcohol.
Ever since his brother was burdened with the family’s high expectations, the attention he received within the family had noticeably waned. Although his cultivation resources had not changed, his heart couldn’t help but feel bitter.
He knew very well that his father wanted to move up in status.
If the Wei family really managed to rise, then he would have nothing to fear in Da Peng City in the future!
The smug look on Wei Xia’s face didn’t get a chance to settle.
“Bang!”
He was struck squarely in the face by a sudden blow, and blood covered his face.
Wei Xia staggered for a moment, visions flickering before his eyes, and the brown briefcase in his hand fell in front of him.
Thud.
With his left hand clutching his head, he half-knelt on the ground, propping himself up with his right hand, and looked up with rage in his face.
“Who… who dares to attack me, do you know who I am…”
“Bang!!!”
Another blow came crashing down.
Wei Xia barely raised his arm to protect his head.
But he was knocked to the ground by the strike, his arm throbbing with a bone-piercing pain.
If he hadn’t already exfoliated, his bones would have likely been broken by now.
He was horrified inside.
He, a Transcendent Awakener at the Modest Skin Realm, had been so boldly ambushed.
Who could it be!
Was it an enemy of the Wei family?
His family had kept a low profile for so many years, only just starting to rise this year. They hadn’t even taken off yet, and already they were the target of a stealth attack.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a masked person picking up the brown briefcase.
Wei Xia’s head bloody, he swayed to his feet, “Give it to me, give me the bag!”
The assailant held the stick with one hand and swung it upward in a baseball bat motion.
“Bang!”
Wei Xia was sent flying, landing in a bush, and fell into complete unconsciousness.
“So weak?”
The assailant shook their head, took the belongings, and quickly left the scene.
