Chapter 706: 【535】All Officials Bow, All Hail Marquis Pei (Seeking Monthly Pass and Subscriptions)_1 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.
