放荡娇妻肉交换闺蜜

His eyes searched for Jiang Lingsu until he saw her grab the arm of an unfamiliar young man, at which his expression immediately darkened.

“Lingsu.”

“Cheng ge,” Jiang Lingsu let go and greeted him with a sweet smile, though puzzled why the young master had come. Still, he was an important person she couldn’t afford to offend.

“Nothing wrong, I hope?” Wu ZiCheng asked with a feigned smile, his eyes casually glancing at Pei Jinye.

Jiang Lingsu hurriedly replied with a smile, “Nothing’s wrong. He’s my junior, just a small misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding? Alright, Lingsu, I know all about your family’s issue, it’s just about an F-level Extraordinary Item, nothing serious,” Wu ZiCheng looked toward Pei Jinye. It wasn’t that he intended to flaunt his family’s considerable resources, but he chuckled and asked, “How should I address you?”

Having been born into privilege, he naturally understood the ways of the world.

Anyone who could make the Jiang family’s main branch back down was definitely not from a minor household.

Of course, to him, the Jiang family’s main branch wasn’t much either.

To his family standing behind him, however, the Jiang Family Second House was somewhat interesting.

“Pei Jinye, my junior,” Jiang Lingsu intervened, trying to keep the peace. Currently, these two were the last people she wanted to offend.

“I’ll also address you as junior brother Pei,” Wu ZiCheng continued. “I’ve heard about the issue with Xi Qing. Let’s not discuss who’s right or wrong for now, but as they say, it’s better to resolve disputes than to deepen them, isn’t that so?”

He offered a pack of cigarettes with a smile, “They’re special supply, don’t disdain them.”

Pei Jinye also smiled and declined, “No need for the cigarettes, I don’t smoke.”

Wu ZiCheng wasn’t surprised and courteously took one cigarette for himself, “Do you mind?”

Then he expertly lit it up, took a drag, and said, “Junior brother, I’m not from Da Peng City, so you might not be familiar with me. I don’t mean to brag, but this small issue truly is nothing major, there’s no need to spoil the good relationship we all had before.”

Jiang Lingsu chuckled beside them, half-joking, half reminding Pei Jinye, “Cheng ge, you are being modest. Who doesn’t know that your father oversees all of Central State’s finances and is famously known as the God of Wealth… I heard that at the beginning of the year, that person personally sent a painting and calligraphy gift.”

The smile on Wu ZiCheng’s face immediately brightened as he waved it off, “Mr. Han thought my father liked collecting paintings, so he sent one over, oh it’s nothing really.”

“Nothing really? In all of Central State, you could count on one hand the number of people that person would personally send gifts to,” Jiang Lingsu complimented.

It was no wonder she said this; regardless of the Jiang family’s clout, they were merely a prominent family in Da Peng City.

Looking across all of Central State, their family would likely only rank in the middle-lower tier.

Moreover, the real core of the Jiang family was the second house, not theirs.

“Junior brother Pei, may I ask what backing you have?” Wu ZiCheng asked curiously, his eyes roving for clues.

Jiang Lingsu glanced over indifferently.

She too was very curious about who supported Pei Jinye.

A person whose identity could not be ascertained by both the Night Patrol Department and the city’s government office… She heard that the critical video footage had been classified, not to be released to the public.

It was precisely because of this that she was more inclined to believe that someone truly powerful stood behind Pei Jinye!

Pei Jinye could tell he was being probed, but he didn’t take it to heart and only chuckled, “Why, you want to see if you can grasp my measure?”

Wu ZiCheng wasn’t embarrassed to have his thoughts exposed and said openly with a smile, “Isn’t having more friends equivalent to having more paths in life?”

“Forgive my bluntness, but we’re not on the same path,” Pei Jinye shook his head.

Wu ZiCheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, clearly not expecting Pei Jinye to respond that way.

“Making friends should be based on sincerity, not on checking out each other’s backgrounds and playing tricks. If that is your principle for making friends, then I must decline.”

Before Wu ZiCheng could react, Pei Jinye turned to Jiang Lingsu and shook his head, “I can’t help with your brother’s issues. He might be able to return on his own after giving a clear account of the situation. Of course, you’d better hope he’s innocent; otherwise, no one’s help will be useful.”

“`

After he finished speaking, he was ready to leave.

Jiang Lingsu’s complexion also turned ugly in an instant, as she hurriedly tried to say, “Junior brother…”

“Friend, I’m just asking you, will you give face to the Judgement Place?” Wu Zicheng suddenly spoke in a heavy tone.

However, what he and Jiang Lingsu did not expect was that Pei Jinye, upon hearing the three words ‘Judgement Place,’ looked back at him as if he were looking at a fool.

Pei Jinye didn’t say anything. He just smiled and turned to leave.

Wu Zicheng was stunned.

He also failed to comprehend the smile on Pei Jinye’s face at that moment.

Just as Jiang Lingsu was about to catch up, Wu Zicheng grabbed her arm.

“There’s no need to go.”

“Brother Cheng?” Jiang Lingsu looked at him anxiously.

Wu Zicheng shook his head, “This kid is uncompromising right now, it’s no use even if you find him. But has your family really found out nothing?”

Jiang Lingsu shook her head, bitterly saying, “If we had found something, I wouldn’t have been urged by my family to come here. This originally had nothing to do with me, and yet I have to grovel and beg people. I’m truly seeking my own suffering.”

As she spoke, she displayed a pitiful appearance, as if on the verge of tears.

Soon, her head rested against someone’s chest.

“Leave it to me. My sister works at the Judgement Place, I’ll give her a call.”

…

[Wu Zicheng… from the Martial Family of Nandu in the Central State… His father holds the position of Deputy Director of the Central Continent Financial Department, his uncle works in the Nandu City Government Office… His sister, Wu Xuemei, serves as a Central Continent Investigation Team Reserve Second-Level Judge…]

Pei Jinye’s mind had already accumulated information about Wu Zicheng’s family.

One must say, this young master indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

The overall situation of his family was not something that either the main branch or the second house of the Jiang family could compare with.

No matter how strong Da Peng City might be, it was nothing more than a frog in a well.

The Jiang family had developed for so many years, yet they hadn’t been able to successfully place their kin in core positions within Central State, certainly geographic factors played a role.

Da Peng City was too far from the central circle of Central State, and in recent years, its development had been constantly bled dry by the neighboring Storm City. If Da Peng City couldn’t develop, then even if Zhou Weiren wanted to offer his recommendation quota, the people above wouldn’t care in the slightest.

Smaller places are naturally less resource-rich than larger ones; limited resources led to a scarcity of talent… In a vicious cycle, the most powerful person the Jiang family had cultivated over the years was Jiang Suhu’s already deceased father.

And he had been “accidentally” killed in a struggle for core entry tickets.

What was more fatal was

starting from the generation of Jiang Qingcang, the Jiang family’s talent for awakening to the Combat Type was already far less than 1%.

It was because of this, that now, various families in Da Peng City were already showing signs of overtaking them.

If it wasn’t for Pei Jinye taking out two of the Wei Family’s talents in secret, it’s likely that the Jiang family’s status would already be under serious threat.

This was also fortune in the midst of misfortune.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, Jiang Qingcang’s communication channel received a message from Feng Jiao.

The prey had arrived again.

“Dad, Mom, I have something to take care of. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Do you have enough money on you?”

“`

Pei Jinye waved his hand and directly went downstairs.

Pei Jinye chuckled and cursed at his impatient demeanor but suddenly realized, hadn’t he just met the young lady? Why was there another appointment?

“Hiss!”

…

The afternoon sun fell on the back mountain of the Jiang family, where a bluebird circled above the rooftops.

Feng Jiao looked up curiously.

However, she quickly gathered her thoughts and waited in silence.

During this period, she had been secretly capturing people for the old family head… even if she didn’t know what exactly the old family head wanted to do.

But she could vaguely guess…

“Perhaps the person inside cultivated some unorthodox technique to seize longevity through it…”

Otherwise, she couldn’t explain how that person’s skills could remain so formidable at such an age.

Of course…

These were just fleeting thoughts in her mind.

She was in need of the person inside and naturally wouldn’t dare to entertain any rash thoughts.

If only that person were not averse to pleasures of the flesh, she would’ve willingly offered herself.

What blooming world could be more tempting than sitting in the lap of luxury with an old master?

…

Inside the room.

Naturally, Pei Jinye was unaware of what the woman outside was thinking.

He placed one hand on the face of the person in front of him.

After activating the Devour ability of the Blood Moon, a flood of memories surged toward him like a tide.

This time, Feng Jiao had only brought one prey.

Although the catch was not as abundant as the previous two times, the prey this time had allowed Pei Jinye to uncover a shocking secret.

…

“There is a hidden cave dwelling of a Manifested Saint strong practitioner in the Martial Arts Upper Third Realms, located north of Storm City in the Mist Mountain, suspected to contain a legacy…”

Pei Jinye narrowed his gaze.

No wonder this guy had a face full of shock and anger when Feng Jiao captured him; he probably thought the news of the Manifested Saint’s legacy had leaked.

But originally, he had learned of this news from a close friend.

Even though he had silenced that close friend, no one could guarantee that the news hadn’t leaked out.

“Mist Mountain is 120 kilometers away from Da Peng City; it’s possible to make a round trip within a day…”

Pei Jinye’s eyes narrowed.

Frankly speaking, the legacy of a Manifested Saint was indeed enough to entice him.

“Delay would breed mishaps!”

Pei Jinye decisively got up.

New content appeared on the attribute panel.

——

[New Extraordinary]: Body·Fury.

The room door was slowly pushed open, and the creaking sound was like an alarm bell.

Feng Jiao hurriedly interrupted her drifting thoughts and kneeled on one knee respectfully: “Family Head, may you be at peace.”

A bag containing Cold Jade was thrown in front of her.

“Continue.”

The old family head’s words were short and to the point.

Feng Jiao didn’t dare lift her head to look over, and just as she was about to say something, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

“Enter the dream.”

Of course, Pei Jinye had no intention of killing her.

For now, this woman was still of great use to him.

He just wanted to know…

Did this woman know about the cave dwelling legacy?

——

“So, did Zhao Hui tell you about the cave dwelling legacy?”

“Your subordinate is unaware.”

“Good, forget all this.”

…

The afternoon breeze was both warm and cold, rolling the fallen leaves on the steps several times.

Who knows how much time had passed.

Feng Jiao, who was kneeling on the ground, finally came to her senses and, confused, lifted her head only to realize that her body had grown somewhat stiff.

Cautiously looking around,

She didn’t even know when that person had left.

Her heart skipped a beat,

But the Cold Jade at hand finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness… that person indeed keeps their word.”

…

“Senior sister, I’d like to ask for a day off.”

“Sure.”

“Aren’t you going to ask me why?”

“What’s there to ask, but if you say a day, it can only be a day.”

Pei Jinye couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.

Had he known that his senior sister was so easy to talk to…

In the distance, a streak of blue light was particularly conspicuous.
