Feeling humiliated, the Jiang family became aggressively competitive in business. Both families specialized in silk, although they avoided direct public confrontation.
However, it seemed that silk prices had been driven up overnight.
“Miss, the price of silk has skyrocketed. Should we follow suit?” the butler inquired.
Honestly, last night’s thunderstorm alone was enough to make one’s heart flutter.
When he woke up, he found the price of silk climbing steadily within half a day, never having dreamt that silk would almost rival gold in value.
“The Sima family will not follow,” declared Sima Manli decisively, “Some money can be made, but some should not be pursued.”
If their Sima family joined the fray, the price of silk in Nan Du City would surely be driven even higher, which would not only prevent the lower market from profiting but would also crush the century-old reputation that their Sima family had built.
The butler understood this rationale, although it felt like a pity.
After the butler left, Qian the shopkeeper rushed back from outside, “Miss, it’s almost certain now, the silk price manipulation is the doing of the Liu family.”
“Who else could it be if not them,” Sima Manli clenched her teeth and said ferociously.
The Sima family was now in a perilous state, where every move Sima Manli made had to be cautious, as any misstep could spell doom.
The Jiang family was pressing hard, clearly intent on swallowing up the Sima family.
“Miss,” Qian the shopkeeper looked on with concern.
“I’m alright,” Sima Manli shook her head, indicating she was unharmed.
At that moment, someone arrived from below: “Shopkeeper, the silk transported from the four cities of Jiangnan has arrived.”
Qian the shopkeeper’s expression brightened, turning to Sima Manli with excitement, “With this batch, we have a chance to defeat the Jiang family.”
“To defeat them… is difficult, but we might be able to keep them in check for a while,” the worry on Sima Manli’s face had also dissipated somewhat.
She seemed to have already devised a strategy.
Seeing the miss like this, Qian the shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master Xiao has already entered the ranks of Grandmasters.”
Upon hearing this, Sima Manli’s face held no surprise, but rather a gravity, “That’s faster than expected.”
After a pause, she said melancholically, “If he wants to leave, then we’ll part on good terms.”
“Yes, Miss.”
…
“Sir.”
Within the courtyard, Sima Yingjun fell silent for a while, then carefully said, “Why does it feel like you’re somehow different today, Sir?”
“Different in what way?” Pei Jinye looked over and asked casually, reaching for the teapot.
“Just…” Sima Yingjun furrowed his brows for a long while, unable to find the words to describe it.
“Drink water,” Pei Jinye poured him a glass, “Sober up first.”
Upon hearing this, Sima Yingjun managed a wry smile.
He had woken up that morning with a headache and later, Fuyong recounted how he had paraded with a feather duster, pretending it was a Flying Sword, and wept and raged about slaying the Jiang family.
Knowing he had been the butt of last night’s drunken farce, Sima Yingjun didn’t dare say more.
He bowed his head, dutifully sipping his sobering tea.
Yet he couldn’t help glancing at Pei Jinye.
As he withdrew his gaze, he muttered under his breath.
“The master is indeed different.”
He couldn’t pinpoint the exact difference.
It was as if the master was right in front of him, yet intangible, and when he closed his eyes, he couldn’t locate the master anymore.
Odd!
Way too odd!

It must be the alcohol still affecting me!
Sima Yingjun shook his head, muttering to himself. He had planned to linger beside Pei Jinye for a while longer.
But as Pei Jinye assessed his cultivation, he was repeatedly defeated, and with his self-esteem bruised,
Sima Yingjun found an excuse to make a hasty retreat.
“That’s too bullying, wuwuwu.”
After the door was closed,
Pei Jinye shook his head and let out a soft chuckle.
He then returned to his room, took out the Red Small Ritual Flag, and began to cultivate alone.
After only a moment, he opened his eyes again.
Although his physical body could cultivate with the aid of the small ritual flag,
he still felt some regret.
Without the Dragonfish, his progress in cultivation was noticeably slower.
Of course, when he said slower, it was still much faster than before.
But how could one, who was accustomed to a speed of seventy miles, be content with twenty?
Pei Jinye sighed.
“I feel like eating fish.”
“Go, find out where there are Dragonfish.”
As he finished speaking,
two birds swiftly departed from the window, disappearing into the sandstorm.
Pei Jinye continued his cross-legged cultivation.
By dusk,
a heavy rain began outside, the crackling of the rainfall was persistent, but it quickly weakened and then faded away.
Throughout the afternoon until evening, Sima Yingjun did not appear.
It seemed he said he would earnestly cultivate, maybe fearing the morning’s defeat by Pei Jinye, so he did not dare come rashly.
But given his temperament…
He was likely to come running for a reward as soon as he had even a minor breakthrough.
Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.
He put away the Red Small Ritual Flag.
He flicked his finger,
and the window opened on its own.
Almost immediately afterwards, a blue and white bird landed on the windowsill, chirping excitedly about something.
Pei Jinye’s eyes suddenly brightened a bit.
“Really? There are some?”
“Well done.”
A strand of spiritual energy fell upon the bird.
The bird chirped joyfully a few times, nuzzling Pei Jinye’s palm affectionately before taking flight.
Pei Jinye stood up.
He then vanished from the spot.
The Gang Leader of the Fish Dragon Gang, Yu Renhai, had two Dragonfish in his possession.
…
“Gang Leader, we just received news, the Liu family has left the Liyue Sword Sect and is expected to arrive in Nan Du City by tomorrow.”
The middle-aged advisor looked at Yu Renhai and said in a deep voice, “The Liu family is beginning to feel displeased because of our indifference.”
“Am I not aware of that?” Yu Renhai’s action of pouring water paused as he lifted his head calmly, “Has the Jiang family been in contact with you again?”
The middle-aged advisor quickly bowed with a fist and said, “This afternoon, the Jiang family sent a message, saying if we continue like this, they will no longer yield their share of the deal with the Sima family to us.”
Yu Renhai held up his teacup, speaking unhurriedly, “Wait.”
The middle-aged butler looked over, wondering what they were supposed to wait for.
However, Yu Renhai said nothing further.
The middle-aged advisor stepped back, signaling his intention to leave.
“Oh, Old Ink, take a Dragonfish out of the reserves,” Yu Renhai’s voice rang out.
“Yes, Gang Leader.”
Once the room door closed.
Yu Renhai picked up the teacup and sipped at his leisure.
Just as his lips barely touched the surface of the tea, the void seemed to tremble for a moment.
Yu Renhai’s face changed with shock in an instant, and the entire room felt as if it had been enveloped by frost, a hand pressing on his shoulder.
“Behave, or I’ll kill you.”
Yu Renhai’s eyebrows had already been covered with frost, his lips trembling… whether from cold or fear.
Enough so that ripples arose on the surface of the tea.
But in almost an instant, even the tea had turned into a block of ice.
Pei Jinye sat down opposite Yu Renhai.
Yu Renhai sat motionless, maintaining the act of drinking tea, but his eyeballs lifted in shock, nearly falling out of their sockets.
Inside, he was experiencing a storm of emotions.
It had not been long since he last saw Pei Jinye, so how had his power…
Become so formidable!!!
Could it be…
He had hidden his true ability last time!!!
From shock to astonishment, then to terror, and now to enlightenment, Yu Renhai’s expressions transformed.
Until now.
He finally understood the light laughter from Pei Jinye when he had mentioned the Liyue Sword Sect before…
Turns out you were this powerful!!!
But everything happening before him now…
Yu Renhai’s voice already trembling, he asked, “Are… are you a Master Technique?”
Pei Jinye sat before him.
“Master Technique?”
He chuckled softly again.
This chuckle made Yu Renhai’s heart skip a beat.
For some reason, he now felt an inexplicable fear towards Pei Jinye’s laughter.
He had never considered that Pei Jinye might be the world’s most mysterious Master Technique.
But why did the rumors in the martial world say he was a Swordsman?
He didn’t understand… I’m lost!!!
At the moment, Pei Jinye paid no heed to the turmoil in Yu Renhai’s heart.
He pulled out a coin from his pocket.
“Let’s make a bet.”
“Senior, what… what do you want to bet on?” Yu Renhai’s face was covered in frost, his voice trembling from the cold.
“Your life,” Pei Jinye said, looking at him.
The space around them was instantaneously sealed off.
Yu Renhai’s face showed shock.
For a moment he wasn’t even sure what to say.
“Heads, you live,”
“Tails… you die.”
As Pei Jinye’s voice echoed, Yu Renhai’s gaze followed the coin tossed into the air.
It was a kind of coin he had never seen before.
But at that moment, he had no time to consider these details.
His gaze followed the rotating coin, ultimately landing in Pei Jinye’s palm.
“Too bad, it’s heads.”
The moment Yu Renhai heard this, his heart, which had been in suspense, suddenly relaxed, exhaling with relief as if he had just taken a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinye spoke again.
“Let’s gamble a second time.”
“Another… another bet?” Yu Renhai stammered.
Without paying attention to him, Pei Jinye continued, “This time we’ll switch, heads you die, tails… you submit to me.”
Yu Renhai’s face changed drastically.
Cursing inwardly, he quickly said, “I submit! I submit!”
“I am a man of principle, let’s see how the bet turns out,” Pei Jinye said earnestly.
Yu Renhai’s gaze followed the coin as it flew up again… and fell.
“Too bad, it’s tails.”
As Pei Jinye announced the result,
The frost around them shattered.
Yu Renhai finally regained his freedom.
The air grew still for a moment.
He knelt on one knee before Pei Jinye, “I, Yu Renhai… am willing to acknowledge senior as my master.”
“Willingly?” Pei Jinye looked at him.
Yu Renhai replied with a wry smile, “If I had known earlier that senior had such skills, why would I have persistently made things difficult for the Sima family? I submit wholeheartedly… but you may not know, the people from the Liyue Sword Sect might arrive tomorrow.”
“Let them come,” Pei Jinye said indifferently.
During this time.
Suddenly, a tremendous explosion erupted throughout Nan Du City.
Flames burst into the sky.
Pei Jinye’s frown deepened.
