Chapter 672: 【503】Reputation Established in the Martial World! (Asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_1
The massive ship sailed for two days before it finally left the territory of Nan Du City.
By the time it reached the riverside towns of Jiangnan, more and more boats began to sail on the river surface.
“Ugh!”
Early in the morning, the sounds of seasickness and retching came from next door.
“Young master.”
Hu Nianshan looked over with concern and handed over a cloth.
Sima Yingjun grabbed the cloth and wiped the corners of his mouth.
He was about to say something when another wave of dry heaves hit him.
He couldn’t get a single word out.
“Chief Pei.”
When people saw Pei Jinye appear, they respectfully greeted him.
“Pei—” Sima Yingjun quickly turned his head and leaned over the railing to dry heave.
Pei Jinye patted his back a couple of times, and Sima Yingjun’s retching immediately ceased, which even made Hu Nianshan and the others look over in surprised.
“Master Pei, is it… over for me?” Sima Yingjun looked incredulous, the dizzy feeling completely gone as if it had never happened.
He didn’t know what Pei Jinye had done to him.
The first thought that came to his mind was…
“If this could be sold as a secret medicine, it would probably be worth quite a bit of money, right?”
After a while, Sima Yingjun changed his clothes and reappeared in front of Pei Jinye, feeling like he had survived a great disaster.
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Master Pei.”
Pei Jinye casually ate the fruit in front of him, unfazed. This fruit was a specialty of Nan Du, resembling a combination of apples and pears from the future, with a lot of water content, suitable for rehydration.
“Have you never been on a ship before?”
Embarrassed, Sima Yingjun said, “Not exactly, it’s just the first time I’ve traveled so far.”
“…”
Pei Jinye silently looked over, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “Your sister, on the other hand, has some interesting thoughts.”
“My sister trusts you, Master Pei. Initially, she didn’t plan to let me go out, but then that incident happened in the Nan Du business community.” Sima Yingjun’s face was still a bit pale, and he sighed, “I hope my family can safely get through this ordeal.”
Pei Jinye bit into the apple-pear and said leisurely, “I won’t offer comforting words. Just think about what you’re going to do next. I’m only responsible for killing people.”
Sima Yingjun opened his mouth to speak, then chuckled dryly without daring to say more on the topic.
Master Pei always gave him an impression of being very low-key, yet every time he talked about killing, it sent chills down one’s spine.
Before Sima Yingjun could continue, suddenly the skies outside the window lit up with a blinding flash, followed by a thunderous roar.
“It’s thundering.”
Sima Yingjun suddenly blinked in surprise and looked outside, to see that it was pouring rain.
A chill surged in from outside, and Sima Yingjun shrank back, “It’s going to rain heavily, I hope our ship is alright.”
“It won’t be a problem,”
Pei Jinye said.
Sima Yingjun was startled, not quite understanding the meaning of Master Pei’s words.
But after he was called back to his quarters, no one knew how Pei Jinye had disappeared from the room.
Under the Thunderbolt Breath, the rolling thunder was completely absorbed into Pei Jinye’s body.
[Vitality Value+12+8+11+22…]
[Physical Strength+11+13+15…]
…
“Why does today’s thunder sound so terrifying?” Sima Yingjun murmured to himself from within his room.
Hu Nianshan stood by his side, the window cracked open, his suspicious gaze towards the sky. He vaguely felt that amidst the lightning… there seemed to be a person.
“It must be an illusion,” he thought.
Ten minutes later, when the thunder and lightning had dissipated, many noticed that although the storm had ended, the rain curtain in the sky appeared to have a hole in it, with not a single drop of rain falling on the entire canal below.
This phenomenon prompted much speculation and discussion.
“Goodness, on my very first trip, I’ve witnessed such a miracle. Could it be that my fate carries something extraordinary?” Sima Yingjun’s face showed amazement.
Hu Nianshan couldn’t help but look over, feeling too embarrassed to say such things himself.
However, Master Sun at his side had no qualms about flattering Sima Yingjun, who basked in the praise.
But he brushed off Master Sun and said, “I need to find Master Pei.”
The crowd was abashed.
Sima Yingjun knocked on the meeting room door, and Pei Jinye finally opened it, “What’s the matter?”
“Master Pei, look, only the air above this canal is clear of rain, while it’s still raining elsewhere.” Sima Yingjun spoke as if he couldn’t wait to proclaim it a divine miracle.
Pei Jinye tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps sensing his lack of interest, Sima Yingjun dared not disturb him further.
Just then.
Suddenly, a subordinate hurried over and whispered, “Young master, the Jiangnan Yuan Family’s ship has stopped over, and they have sent word that they wish to invite you over for a chat.”
“The Yuan Family? Is it Yuan Hua? That old rascal is here today.” Sima Yingjun immediately said with a smile to Pei Jinye, “The Yuan Family is part of the Jiangnan Commercial League, and he and I attended the same academy. We get along very well, and I’ll introduce you to him later so you can get acquainted.”
Pei Jinye waved his hand, indicating he was indifferent.
Ten minutes later, a ladder was placed between two giant ships, and a group of people from the Yuan Family’s giant ship came aboard the Sima family’s ship.
“Brother Yuan.”
“Brother Yingjun.”
“Brother Yuan, let me introduce you, this is Pei, my big brother.” Sima Yingjun introduced enthusiastically.
Yuan Hua was taken aback and instinctively looked toward Pei Jinye.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
The surname Pei…
However, it was the elder beside him who glanced at Pei Jinye and then averted his gaze without much thought.
“Brother Pei.”
“Pleased to meet you.” Pei Jinye nodded without any intention of currying favor.
Sima Yingjun took Yuan Hua up to the deck, knowing Pei Jinye didn’t fancy such environments and didn’t press it, but made sure to arrange for a couple of Red Blood Carps to be roasted for the dinner.
“On my way back, I heard that a Sword Immortal appeared in Nan Du City, Brother Yingjun. Did you get to see them?” Yuan Hua asked, curious.
Sima Yingjun stopped short, “Sword Immortal, what Sword Immortal?”
“They said that when sea bandits attacked a ship, a Sword Immortal happened to see the injustice and drew their sword, cleaving the entire river.” Yuan Hua spoke with longing in his voice.
Sima Yingjun was somewhat bewildered and his thoughts unintentionally turned to Pei Jinye.
But what Pei Jinye had done didn’t match the deeds described by Yuan Hua, so he instinctively thought it must have been someone else.
“Unfortunately, I did not get to see it. But those sea bandits truly are detestable.”
“Indeed.”
When the banquet started, Pei Jinye finally appeared leisurely.
He didn’t speak much and seemed somewhat distant, making Yuan Hua inexplicably wary of him—it was an odd feeling he couldn’t put into words.
Not until the banquet was over and he returned to his own ship did the elder accompanying him whisper, “The young man accompanying Sima family’s young master must be practicing the way of poisons. I noticed his palms are faintly blackened. Young master must be careful when interacting with him.”
“The way of poisons?” Yuan Hua was startled and shivered, “No wonder I felt chilly every time I interacted with him. What’s with Sima Yingjun, keeping the company of such people?”
“It is said that the Sima family has recently been targeted by the Fish Dragon Gang and Liu’s family. Perhaps it’s a desperate attempt to seek help.” The elder spoke nonchalantly.
Yuan Hua sighed, “I had quite admired that sister from the Sima family… It’s just a pity they met with such strong opponents.”
“If the Sima family can’t survive this ordeal, there won’t be a Sima family anymore.”
“Such a pity…”
…
The night flowed like water.
The giant ship sailed slowly.
Pei Jinye stood on the deck with Sima Yingjun at his side, who, for some reason, sighed, “Master Pei, we’ll be arriving in Jiangnan tomorrow morning. Do you think… the Fish Dragon Gang will come again?”
“They will.”
Hearing Pei Jinye’s categorical answer, Sima Yingjun was taken aback.
The next moment.
Pei Jinye gestured, and with a swing of his sword, the river surface in front of him suddenly shook violently.
Several figures hiding beneath were instantly repelled and flung into the air.
Sima Yingjun swore—
This was undoubtedly the most impressive sword technique he had ever seen!
Damn, I really want to learn it!
Really! I’d even call him dad!
