"How do you feel about this mission?"

The old man's question made Pei Jinye raise his head. After thinking about it for a few times, he pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Senior, what do you want me to say? Or... is this mission assigned by your old man? Honestly, what are you, the big guys, thinking in your hearts?"

Yes, I couldn’t guess it anyway.”

"Slippery." The old man smiled heartily and looked at Lin Xiawei who was having a meal next to him: "Look at whether your junior brother is slick or not."

"Junior brother?" Pei Jinye said cautiously: "May I ask who my master is?"

"Didn't I tell you about accepting you as my disciple?" the old man asked.

"No." Pei Jinye looked over innocently: "Senior, is this kind of thing really so casual?"

"What I do is to act based on spontaneity, and we are not like those stupid heads in the tribunal. Accepting apprentices is all about fate. When fate comes, you and I will be masters and disciples." The old man looked frank.

Pei Jinye narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

"Seniors may not know that I am currently in the investigation team and have no plans to leave Dapeng City in the short term."

"Small problem." The old man looked relaxed.

"I am a spiritual person."

"I know, and so does your senior sister. I don't look for talent when recruiting disciples, only for fate."

When Pei Jinye heard this, he turned to look at Lin Xiawei beside him. His nominal team leader was currently eating.

"May I ask what level your senior is?"

"I haven't tested it." The old man shook his head: "According to your current grading standards, I have killed all the third- and fourth-level monsters, but I haven't fought against those old monsters at the fifth level yet."

Pei Jin was startled: "Senior, aren't you kidding?"

The old man was not angry, he just said softly: "Dapeng City is too small, it's not a bad thing to go out more."

Pei Jinye suppressed the shock in his heart and took a deep breath: "Senior, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing this, the old man smiled heartily.

There was no rush to answer.

Instead, fresh fat beef was put into the hot pot.

"Just like this, let nature take its course." I'll give you the conditions, you can grow up on your own, and you don't have to worry about any grievances or grudges."

After a while, he picked up the fat beef, dipped it in the base, rolled it around and stuffed it into his mouth.

The old man enjoyed the delicious food on his taste buds for a while, and then he said beautifully: "The most difficult word in this world is chance. If you and I are destined, I will come and find it. It's that simple."

This old man talks too eloquently.

To be honest, Pei Jinye didn't want to get close and always felt that he would be sucked into some whirlpool.

However, if you really have a strong backer, you will do more good than harm in the future.

But what he cares about is...

Isn't this old man the same as that guy from the Bronze Society?

"Senior, have you ever heard that there are always dragons?"

"I don't know." The old man answered lightly. He stuffed the last piece of fat beef in the bowl into his mouth, chewed it for a while and said slowly: "I have been tempering my blood with your senior sister for the past two days. I will go out with you someday when I have time.

, those old friends should also give them a meeting gift, it won’t be a problem to collect one or two sealed items.”

"Master is here."

Pei Jinye recognized him easily.

The old man laughed and shook his head, looking at Lin Xiawei: "This guy is not an ordinary shrewd guy, he is always careful."

"Yes, Master."

…

"I don't have many disciples, and you currently have five..."

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiawei had returned to the investigation team, and Pei Jinye walked slowly down the street with his newly recognized master.

"Your senior sister Lin Xiawei will not stay long in Dapeng City this time..."

As he spoke, the little old man in blue coat couldn't help but chuckle: "Who would have thought that such a small place could cause the Judgment Office to lose elites again and again. Don't you think it's interesting?"

Pei Jinye responded with an inexperienced look.

The little old man in blue coat looked away and handed over a string of jade beads: "You can keep this bracelet with you for now."

Pei Jinye took it ignorantly.

The little old man in blue coat said with great interest: "Although I don't know what happened to you and the Jiang family's sword, but since it left a mark on you, just let it go. It's not necessarily a bad thing."

Pei Jin was stunned: "You know all this?"

"It's not just me, other people can see it too." The little old man in blue coat clicked his tongue: "You want to make a fortune quietly, don't you?"

Pei Jinye laughed dryly.

Suddenly I thought of the conversation I had with Elder Faceless, who seemed to have "seen" it too.

But at that time, I didn't have enough contact with Shen Xiao... Maybe the other party didn't expect that he could get direct contact with Shen Xiao so quickly.

Thinking of this, Pei Jinye felt helpless.

In front of those strong men, I'm afraid I really feel like I have no clothes on.

He was also glad that he had not agreed to Mr. Han's choice to go to a big city.

Maybe you will be "seen" completely.

If he exposes his many extraordinary things, it is estimated that all the old priests in Xizhou will have to dig their graves and crawl out.

"This bracelet can suppress the mark of that sword on your body... Do you know what you look like now? To those strong swordsmen, you are a bright light in the dark night, and you are a bit provocative."

Pei Jinye's head turned black when he heard this: "..."

The little old man in blue coat was amused by his expression: "It seems like you don't even know."

Pei Jinye said helplessly: "I really don't know anything."

"Hahahaha." On the street, the little old man in blue coat laughed heartily, "That sword has been sealed in dust for too long, and I probably want to fight with someone for a long time. If you hadn't run into me, you might have been killed by Bei one day.

Those madmen in Jiangzhou will kill you when they see it... Jiang Yijian had a mortal enemy with those madmen back then."

"..."

Seeing Pei Jinye's face turn dark, the little old man in blue coat's laughter became even more hearty.

"Haha, you kid, you calculated everything, but in the end, you were included in the calculation."

"Master, you can't just ignore death. Do you have any peerless swordsmanship that you can teach me?"

The smile of the little old man in the blue coat suddenly stiffened, and he said angrily: "You are quite breathless. As soon as you open your mouth, you need a few books, just one. If you practice well, maybe the title of Sword Immortal will be yours in the future.

."

"So awesome? Who else can learn this swordsmanship besides me?"

"Your second senior brother."

"So how is his swordsmanship now?"

"He is just too playful. He managed to become a half-step swordsman. I just heard that he defeated a certain first-level adjudicator."

The little old man in a blue coat took out his elderly smartphone and pulled out a photo.

Pei Jinye looked over.

A handsome young man carrying a sword held a huge monster head in his hand and made a "yeah" gesture for a selfie.

The little old man in blue coat noticed the change in Pei Jinye's expression, his smile became wider and wider, and he traced his fingers across the screen.

"This is a photo of his hunting in the Grand Canyon of Death two months ago..."

"This picture was taken when he was eighteen years old. That day his sword energy vibrated, triggering a pilgrimage to the sword tomb...I captured it, how about it?"

"And this one..."

"This is your senior brother. Although his face is dark, his heart is actually even darker. But don't worry, your senior brother only plots against outsiders..."

The little old man flicked his hand and suddenly a picture of a young girl taking a bath appeared.

A moment.

The master and apprentice looked at each other in tacit understanding.

The moment the phone screen went black, the little old man said without blushing: "Maybe... there is a virus in the phone."

Pei Jinye: "Yeah."

"..."

…

Early in the morning.
