Chapter 706: 【535】All Officials Bow, All Hail Marquis Pei (Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscriptions)_1
Sima Manli and Qian the shopkeeper did not overstep their boundaries and stood still, watching the mysterious man with the Silver Waist Card respectfully retreat.
Sima Manli looked towards Qian the shopkeeper.
Qian the shopkeeper took a deep breath, “Promotion and elevation in rank… all these are what the elder deserves, and even granting him the title of a non-royal king wouldn’t be too much, considering he is a Great Grandmaster.”
As soon as Sima Manli saw the Silver Waist Card, she knew that the relationship between the Sima family and Pei Jinye would probably end here.
“Exactly!”
Qian the shopkeeper suddenly froze.
Sima Manli also turned to look and her expression quickly changed.
She was about to call out.
However, Sima Yingjun had already jogged into Pei Jinye’s courtyard.
By this time, anything Sima Manli said would have been too late.
“Miss need not worry, Elder Pei is not that kind of person. Although he has no official title of master to the young master, he has already developed the affection of a mentor,” Qian the shopkeeper reassured in a low voice.
Sima Manli could only sigh forlornly.
“There’s no feast in this world that doesn’t end.”
…
“Sir, are you leaving?”
Sima Yingjun’s tone was anxious, with caution written all over his face.
Pei Jinye watched him appear. Instead of explaining immediately, he beckoned, signaling him to take a seat just as usual, “The key to the Sword Cultivation Skill lies in the word ‘cultivate.’ Keep your composure and deeply feel it.”
There was a trace of panic on Sima Yingjun’s face.
He couldn’t bear the thought of Pei Jinye leaving.
Under normal circumstances, he would find certain words too embarrassing to utter.
But now he couldn’t care about that.
“Sir, let me come with you,” he said.
Pei Jinye looked at him with a smile, filled with unprecedented satisfaction, but he shook his head, “My path is not suitable for you. Practice diligently. The Sword Cultivation Skill is enough to make you a master in your own right. Once you have fully grasped the essence of ‘cultivating the sword,’ you can leave Nan Du City. We shall meet again then.”
Whether they would meet again, he actually had no certainty.
But he told a kind lie.
Sima Yingjun’s expression gradually became serious, “Sir, I will definitely not disappoint you.”
“I believe you,” Pei Jinye replied, nodding in acknowledgment.
Sima Yingjun stood up, took a few steps back, and then gave a deep bow to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye accepted his bow with composure.
After Sima Yingjun left,
the night grew deeper.
The Sima family had experienced an extraordinary skirmish, purging every insider, and had obtained silk from the Jiang family, not only recuperating the lost part but even gaining much more.
Pei Jinye had already accepted the invitation from the Imperial Family.
This way, he could go to the Liyue Sword Sect with legitimacy.
The Imperial Family also needed the God Water.
So if Pei Jinye could indeed acquire the God Water from the Liyue Sword Sect, according to their thinking, by that time Pei Jinye would have become one of theirs and would certainly offer tribute.
For this reason, the Imperial Family was already impatiently promoting this matter.
Tomorrow morning, Pei Jinye would depart, take the Imperial Family’s ship, and represent the Imperial Family in a visit to the Liyue Sword Sect!
…
Birds were chirping about something, seemingly startled, quickly flying behind Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye looked up.
On the beam opposite.
An figure akin to a Sword Immortal slowly descended, standing with hands behind the back.
Pei Jinye watched.
He recognized the figure’s identity at a glance.
The master of Liu Yingyue, Bi Yuntao!
The Great Grandmaster of the Liyue Sword Sect!
Bi Yuntao did not utter a single word of nonsense. With a gesture, a streak of light flashed by.
Tree leaves on both sides rustled and fell like called by a fierce wind, forming a Giant Sword mid-air.
It shot forth in an instant.
Pei Jinye too remained silent.
However, he did not even make a single move.
The Giant Sword formed of countless falling leaves disintegrated inch by inch upon reaching him.
Bi Yuntao gave a surprised yelp.
“You are very strong,” he declared in a low voice.
A muffled “boom” sounded.
An invisible force coalesced around Pei Jinye, with no intention of listening to what Bi Yuntao had to say.
The Gang Wind Sword abruptly descended.
Bi Yuntao’s figure vanished from the spot in a blur.
Just as Pei Jinye was about to close the window, Bi Yuntao’s voice reached him.
“Tomorrow, a battle at Buried Immortal Lake, and then our grievances will be settled,” Bi Yuntao declared before disappearing.
Pei Jinye did not pursue.
The Liyue Sword Sect was located in the northern part of the Ancient Yao Light Country.
This journey did indeed require passing Buried Immortal Lake.
If this Great Grandmaster wanted to fight tomorrow, then they would meet tomorrow at the Buried Immortal Lake.
…
“What’s the matter, Uncle Qian?”
Inside the study, Sima Manli noticed that Qian the shopkeeper had suddenly become vigilant, and her face too showed signs of change.
“There is a master,” Qian the shopkeeper said with a solemn expression.
He then gave a startled cry.
“Gone?”
“Is it from Elder Pei’s side?” Sima Manli asked worriedly.
At that moment, Pei Jinye’s voice reached the study, “No trouble.”
Qian the shopkeeper’s heart skipped a beat, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
This Master Pei… truly unfathomable.
So he was even more perplexed… if he’s so powerful, why would he need to consult him on matters of cultivation?
…
Sima Yingjun rose early in the morning and went straight to Pei Jinye’s place.
He wanted to see him off.
But he found an empty courtyard.
Pei Jinye had already left early in the morning.
Without a trace of arrival or departure.
Sima Manli seemed to have anticipated this, heaving a silent sigh in her heart as she too went to the courtyard once occupied by Pei Jinye.
Long since deserted.
“Sister.” Sima Yingjun turned and saw it was Sima Manli, his rising hopes dashed once more, “The teacher has left.”
“There are no banquets in the world that lasts forever.”
“I know.”
Sima Yingjun turned his back and wiped his eyes.
Sima Manli acted as if she had not seen anything, turning around and leaving a message, “I made your favorite red bean porridge. You need a full stomach to have the energy for cultivation. Perhaps Master Pei is also waiting for the day when you approach him.”
“Really?” Sima Yingjun quickly turned, looking eagerly.
“Really!” Sima Manli smiled lightly as she patted her younger brother’s head and said with a laugh, “Silly boy, go eat your meal.”
“Okay!”
…
At this moment, all the ships at the port were docked, except for a luxurious official ship carved with dragon heads, which was slowly departing.
This was a ship of the Imperial Family.
Moreover, it came overnight from the Imperial City.
Fearful, the entire officialdom of Nan Du City thought there had been some major leak on their side. There had already been killings between the Sima family and Liu’s family, and now they heard that people from the Imperial City were coming.
Everyone thought something had happened.
Not a single person in the officialdom of Nan Du City had slept soundly.
It was rumored that the fear had even scared a county magistrate to death.
Pei Jinye did not bother with the actions of the officialdom.
That morning, he drank a bowl of oil tea on the street and then sat quietly.
He witnessed the officialdom of Nan Du City sealing off the entire port.
Not until Manager Li from the Imperial City Department appeared did everyone from the official circles of Nan Du City, no matter who it was, greet him respectfully.
However, Manager Li didn’t pay them any attention. After looking around for a while, he pushed through the crowd to reach Pei Jinye’s side, revealing a rare obsequious smile, “Marquis Pei, do you remember me? I cannot forget our trip to Jiangnan for a long time, and now, to think that I can behold the true face of Marquis Pei again.”
He presented with both hands the imperial authority token from the Imperial City.
Pei Jinye looked at the Jade Badge, playing with it amusedly.
In the Ancient Yao Light Country, kings of non-imperial lineage did not bow to the King, and their status was extremely high.
Of course, this was also related to strength.
…
Seeing Manager Li act this way, the Prefect of Nan Du who had followed him, upon seeing Manager Li’s attitude, was startled and quickly looked towards Pei Jinye. He did not dare to scrutinize further and bowed properly, saying, “Nandu Prefect Jiang Yingrong has seen… Marquis Pei.”
The hundred officials behind him all bowed, “We have seen Marquis Pei.”
No one knew that a Marquis was actually in Nan Du City.
They had no knowledge of this before.
Did this mean that Marquis Pei was already aware of what had happened in Nan Du City last night?
Nandu Prefect Jiang Yingrong was anxious.
He did not know what the Imperial Family meant.
This arrangement… he simply could not see through it.
Damn it, the Emperor is so far away and yet has such deep scheming!
…
At that moment,
Pei Jinye stood up. He had no interest in these people.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes, Marquis Pei, this way please.”
Manager Li accompanied him at the side; he had received an imperial directive and was to follow Marquis Pei’s instructions expressly to obtain God Water.
Therefore, he was now extremely respectful.
The civil and military officials of Nan Du City promptly cleared a path.
Manager Li accompanied Pei Jinye onto the ship.
Without even a courteous greeting to the officials of Nan Du City, but no one dared to have any complaints.
The Imperial City Department itself worked for the Emperor. Aside from the Emperor, no one else mattered to them.
Not to mention these officials who couldn’t even enter the Imperial City…
If the Imperial City Department wished to act against anyone, just any trumped-up charge would be sufficient.
…
Watching the Imperial Family’s giant ship sail away.
the governor of Nandu, Nandu Prefect Jiang Yingrong, couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The subordinate beside him couldn’t help but whisper a question, but Jiang Yingrong shook his head slightly, stopping his further words.
…
The ship traveled fifteen li.
Passing by Buried Immortal Lake.
At this time, a light rain began to fall on the lake’s surface, blurring the spring rain into strands of sorrow and longing that seemed to hang between heaven and earth.
Just as the Hundred Officials of Nandu prepared to depart from the shore, a sudden exclamation arose.
“Just received news, a Great Grandmaster from the Liyue Sword Sect has challenged Marquis Pei!”
With a “boom,” the faces of the crowd all changed.
“Great Grandmaster? Challenged to a duel?”
“Are you sure it’s Marquis Pei?”
“Who is this Marquis Pei? Could he also be a Great Grandmaster?”
“How did the Liyue Sword Sect get involved in this?”
Amidst the shocked and questioning voices.
Someone suddenly said, “If I remember correctly, the precious daughter of Liu’s family joined the Liyue Sword Sect in her earlier years.”
“If that’s the case… it’s not unusual for someone from the Liyue Sword Sect to be in our Nandu.”
“Don’t forget, the Liu family was slaughtered last night, and the whereabouts of those two siblings are unknown. The appearance of someone from the Liyue Sword Sect here, surely it raises suspicions.”
“But what does the Liu family’s matter have to do with Marquis Pei? Shouldn’t it involve the Sima family?”
“Wait a minute!”
The speaker suddenly felt a shock, “Could it be…”

Even Nandu Prefect Jiang Yingrong couldn’t help but look over.
“Could it be that Marquis Pei knows the people from the Sima family? The incident last night… did he make a move?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s minds were greatly stirred.
“This Marquis Pei seems quite young… If he is a Great Grandmaster, then…”
“It is said that at a certain level of cultivation, one can retain youth. Maybe Marquis Pei is an old elder who has been cultivating for a hundred or so years.”
“A battle between Great Grandmasters is indeed a rare event to witness.”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yingrong hurriedly said, “Prepare a boat.”
He spoke earnestly, “We must ensure Marquis Pei’s safety and also direct the Red Feather Army to be on high alert in case someone tries to do something underhanded.”
“Yes!”
The crowd, elated, followed Jiang Yingrong to watch the duel.
Little did they know that at this moment, on Buried Immortal Lake, the atmosphere was tinged with a chilling murderous intent!
“The Liyue Sword Sect, having existed for over a hundred years, has yet to meet its match. Today, I, as the protector of the Liyue Sword Sect, will have a duel with you.”
Above Buried Immortal Lake.
A figure in a straw coat was fishing in the middle of the lake.
Despite the distance,
His voice carried over, clear as crystal.
Manager Li’s face turned pale, and he quickly looked toward Pei Jinye.
…
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Within a certain pavilion, Silver Waist Card stood respectfully at a table.
Across from him, a middle-aged man was eating the food on the table, unhurried, with a glint of gold at his waist whether hidden or seen.
“Lord Xu, Marquis Pei has already met with that person from the Liyue Sword Sect on Buried Immortal Lake. I am worried that if Marquis Pei is defeated, wouldn’t it let down the Emperor’s favor?”
“No matter, I will make a move.”
