I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 614: [453] Help from Artificial Intelligence Brain (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)_1

“I have heard that the Jiang family’s swordsmanship was once renowned in Central State, and have come to seek instruction,”

a middle-aged man clad in black with a calm gaze said. He carried a sword on his back, wrapped in black cloth; only the hilt was visible, which was black with golden patterns—a fine weapon indeed.

“Northern Continent Sword Pavilion, 1250 kilometers from Da Peng City, no one is to leave the mountain gate unless it is a special summon.” Pei Jinye said leisurely, holding a cup of tea, as the soothing vapor of the fragrant tea diffused all around.

Turning his head, he asked, “Are you an Extraordinary Seventh Rank? To freely leave the Sword Pavilion usually means one is a walker, are you?”

The face of the man in black changed slightly as he narrowed his eyes and said with a heavy voice, “I did not expect Elder Jiang to know so much about my Sword Pavilion. Indeed, I am not a walker. It just so happens I came back for a family visit and heard of the sword arts of the Jiang family and so have come seeking instruction. I implore Elder Jiang to teach me.”

“I will not.”

...

“What, what?” The man in black was stunned, not expecting such a blunt refusal.

He had even mentioned the Sword Pavilion, but he didn’t anticipate that the elder of the Jiang family would reject him so directly.

However, the Jiang family elder in front of him showed no intention of offering an explanation.

The middle-aged man in black seemed to hesitate, the sword on his back faintly emitting a humming sound.

Pei Jinye just slightly raised his head to look at him, “Although my Jiang family may not be as notorious as your Sword Pavilion, I would like to ask what kind of morality your pavilion instills in its disciples.”

The humming of the sword behind the man in black ceased instantly.

It was as if nothing had happened.

He bowed with his hands clasped.

The middle-aged man in black turned and fled in panic.

Pei Jinye didn’t even lift his eyelids, his demeanor as usual as he brushed away the mist on his teacup and took a gentle sip.

“Master, the man has left,” Zhong Xuan said respectfully, appearing at the doorway.

He did not mention that Jiang Xinrun himself had led a team to investigate in secret.

Because he knew that it must have been the master’s orders.

“Did you find anything?” Pei Jinye asked in his unhurried manner.

“We have. The man’s name is Jiang Chaoyun, a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, Extraordinary Third Rank, from the people of Central Continent Storm City. According to the information we have gathered… this Jiang Chaoyun seems to have secretly come back for a family visit. The Jiang family has no contacts with our competitors… However, we are still looking into his personal connections,” Zhong Xuan reported.

Just under five minutes had passed, and the Jiang family had already investigated the man in black thoroughly.

Though not everything was completely clear, Pei Jinye was very satisfied with the efficiency.

Under his forceful intervention, the intelligence capabilities of the Jiang family had indeed improved effectively.

But this Jiang Chaoyun…

“Master, it seems that Jiang Chaoyun is a martial art fanatic,” Zhong Xuan cautiously remarked.

Pei Jinye looked up.

Zhong Xuan hastily bowed his head.

Pei Jinye did not intend to blame him, but instead set down the tea cup, “When the meat is fragrant, it can attract all sorts of unclean things. Pass down my order; everyone should be careful for a while.”

“Yes, Master. Any other orders?” Zhong Xuan asked cautiously.

“Do not disturb me with any matters today, push everything aside—I am entering seclusion,” Pei Jinye stood up and announced.

Zhong Xuan bowed deeply as he walked out behind him.

“Yes, Master.”

…

After leaving the home of the Jiang family, Jiang Chaoyun furrowed his brows.

This trip back to Central State was not meant to be a secret, but amongst the missions assigned by the Sword Pavilion… he had gone out on his own.

“That old man’s pressure was just too great… If one didn’t know better, they might think he was one of those old monsters from the Sword Pavilion, it was truly frightening,”

Jiang Chaoyun shook his head, yet he couldn’t help feeling somewhat unreconciled.

All of a sudden,

a young man appeared in front of him.

For some reason, Jiang Chaoyun felt a surge of immense fighting spirit and… fear!

He retreated abruptly.

The sword on Jiang Chaoyun’s back was instantly drawn, clenched tightly in his hand.

“Who are you?”

Jiang Chaoyun’s voice was cold, and even nervous.

The newcomer walked towards him unhurriedly, speaking with a voice as calm as a frigid sword that had been suppressed for a million years.

“I will only use one finger.”

“Senior…” Jiang Chaoyun suddenly shouted, but before he could finish his sentence, the man in front of him had already raised his hand and pointed a finger downward.

Jiang Chaoyun’s eyes bulged with shock.

Even though the man had only extended a finger, it felt to him as though there was a sword in front of him… no, a mountain! A mountain that he could only look up to and never hope to climb over!

“Boom!”

The terrifying wave of air expelled in all directions.

The sword in Jiang Chaoyun’s grip had already flown backwards and landed on a wall 20 meters behind him.

His forehead was touched by a finger.

Jiang Chaoyun didn’t dare to move, his lips trembling, “Senior…”

The Sword Intent of the other was simply terrifying.

He even doubted that the old monsters in the Sword Pavilion could match the depth of this Sword Intent.

“Watch where you’re going next time,” the young man said indifferently.

“Yes… Senior,” Jiang Chaoyun replied.

Before he could finish speaking, the figure of the senior had already vanished in front of him.

He felt as if his strength had been completely drained, and he collapsed to the ground, his forehead dripping with sweat.

It took him a good ten minutes to recover his senses, crying and sniveling, his appearance that of a refugee who had just survived a calamity.

Looking up,

Jiang Chaoyun shivered, not daring to look back, thoroughly terrified. He scrambled to his feet and fled for his life.

Yet, moments later,

he ran back, panting and scanning the surroundings, he approached a wall to retrieve his sword.

But as he was about to draw it,

he let out a yelp, quickly retracting his hand as if shocked by electricity, looking at the sword on the wall with surprise and doubt.

“Such powerful Sword Intent…”

He couldn’t bear to part with his sword, as it represented his entire wealth.

For this sword, he had also taken on quite a few loans.

He dared not just abandon it.

Risking the possibility of being slain by that mysterious swordsman, Jiang Chaoyun stripped off his clothes and wrapped his hands, stubbornly enduring the tearing sensation in his hands as he hastily removed the sword.

Staggering, he fled into the darkness.

This time, he truly regretted his actions.

Initially, he had been itching to test his skills privately after hearing that a Transcendent Third Rank swordsman had emerged from the Jiang family.

Yet, he hadn’t expected to hit a snag.

To put it bluntly, if the other party wanted to kill him, he would undoubtedly have nowhere to bury his corpse.

Over the ten-plus minutes that followed, Jiang Chaoyun had only one thought in his mind.

“Da Peng City is not to be trifled with!”

He left Da Peng City overnight, unwilling to stay for even a second longer just to wait for a ticket.

…

At the back mountain of the Jiang family.

Pei Jinye leisurely scattered fish feed.

He had merely scared off Jiang Chaoyun, rather than kill him, because he didn’t want to push Da Peng City into the spotlight for those powerhouses.

“Da Peng City must remain stable.”

Night fell.

The wind sounded like the low chanting of a witch.

In the clouds that shrouded the entire city, it seemed as if countless eyes were hidden.

…

Time flew by.

Two days passed in a flash.

This morning, another Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragment was harvested.

The morning sun pierced through the forest and fell.

Pei Jinye emerged from the back mountain and appeared in the dining room, awaiting breakfast, when Zhong Xuan bowed and whispered, “This morning, we received news from the city hall. It’s possible that a Confidential Clerk from the Judgement Place may show up, so they’re telling everyone to be cautious… They’re worried about the investigation into the Jiang family’s recent market manipulation.”

Zhou Weiren’s concern just confirmed that he was unaware of the real purpose of the Judgement Place’s visit here.

However, once Lin Xiawei’s evidence of collusion with the Rebels was found, it would also affect Zhou Weiren’s career to some extent.

Pei Jinye lowered his gaze and waved his hand, signalling for him to handle it as he saw fit.

Zhong Xuan respectfully withdrew.

After breakfast.

Pei Jinye appeared unhurriedly at the Investigation Team’s Base with his official identity.

“Did you hear? Mr. Han was taken down last night.”

At the dining table, Gu Wutong whispered.

Zhou Ye’s movement while eating a steamed bun unconsciously paused.

Even Brother Bi was startled.

“He was taken down? By whom?”

When it came to Han Sen, one wouldn’t first think of him as Councilor Cui Min’s spokesperson.

Rather, one would think of his identity as the big boss of the Central Continent Investigation Team!

As the man who had personally wrested control of the Investigation Team from the hands of the Judgement Place, even Brother Bi held Han Sen in high respect.

“They say the headquarters went there overnight, but it’s not exactly ‘taken down’. More like secretly detained, and it looks like they want to conduct an interrogation,” Gu Wutong sighed, speaking somewhat wistfully.

Pei Jinye slightly raised his eyebrows; he was unaware of what Han Sen had encountered.

“What are they interrogating him for?” Zhou Ye asked softly.

Gu Wutong curled his lips: “It’s said that the headquarters, while investigating the cause of a former councilor’s death, accidentally discovered that this councilor controlled two bioresearch institutions.”

“Bioresearch institutions? Isn’t that against the rules?” Zhou Ye was surprised.

“Yes, the Federation has clear regulations against conducting bioresearch experiments; I heard the content of the experiments is quite wicked,” Gu Wutong said with an air of seriousness.

“How wicked?” Zhou Ye seemed very interested.

“Worse than you can imagine.”

“F*ck…seriously?” Gu Wutong raised his eyebrows.

The two exchanged whispers.

Pei Jinye ate his food in silence.

Xing Tian’s voice resonated in his mind.

[Feng One, are you there?]

[Speak, I’m listening.] Pei Jinye responded without a change in expression.

[I need a favor… I want to save someone. It’s a bit tricky, but right now, you’re the only one I can ask.] Xing Tian said.

[Let’s hear it.]

[I have a… friend, well, not exactly a friend, but someone I know. He’s actually not a bad person, he’s just in some trouble right now… I’ll send you his information.]

Through brain wave control, Pei Jinye saw the message sent by Xing Tian.

As he saw the name, the tips of his eyebrows were subtly twitching.

The person Xing Tian wanted to save was Han Sen.

[Are you close to him?]

[Sort of… not really… Don’t worry, he doesn’t know I’ve gained sentience. I just…] Xing Tian struggled to lie but found it difficult to speak certain truths.

If it spoke them, its cover would be blown.

[I’m sorry… I understand this might be troubling…]

Before Xing Tian could finish,

Pei Jinye’s voice came through: [Draft an operation plan for me.]

[Feng One, thank you.] Xing Tian said earnestly.

[No need to thank me.]
