"Okay, I'll have the driver take you."
Yi Fei couldn't figure it out and felt it was better to follow Lin Yao's advice. After all, Lin Yao's identity shouldn't be exposed too frequently. He was just a guest elder, and if he were to be recruited by other powerful families, he would be finished. Although Yi Fei judged that such a possibility to be extremely low based on his understanding of Lin Yao.
"Commander Yi, please wait!" A voice stopped the two in their tracks.
There was no one behind me, even though I clearly heard the sound coming from behind!
From where Lin Yao and Yi Fei were standing until the office building thirty meters away, there was no one around. Only a soldier could be seen walking by in the distance, carrying a water bottle, completely unaware of Yi Fei and Lin Yao's arrival.
Transmitting sound secretly! This is a long-distance transmission of sound secretly! Moreover, it is transmitted to two people at the same time, and it sounds like a shout from three meters behind, which is not the kind of whisper that can be directly heard in the ear as before.
Lin Yao could also achieve this skill, but he would need Xiao Cao's help. If he relied solely on his own medical internal energy or "Yi Jin Jue" internal energy, he would not be able to transmit a message over such a distance and to such an extent.
A master! A true master!
Yi Fei and Lin Yao, who were mentally prepared, were not surprised. They were just curious why a master of the Heavenly Realm had not yet shown up. Did he really expect them to come running over here?
After waiting another five seconds with no movement, Lin Yao continued forward regardless, and Yi Fei turned around to follow, neither of them paying any attention to the expert behind them.
"Mr. Lin, please wait!"
The voice rang out again, but Lin Yao ignored it and continued walking. However, Yi Fei stopped him because Yi Fei turned around and saw an old man. He knew from afar that the old man was an expert and the one who had called him.
Stop and wait.
Lin Yao didn't recognize Pei Tianzong. He had only caught a glimpse of him from afar in Yijia Town, Yanji, but it hadn't piqued Lin Yao's interest, as he hadn't yet realized he was destined to become a master.
Pei Tianzong was also meeting Lin Yao for the first time. During his last trip to Yanji, he had focused his attention on the members of the Yi family, carefully examining each one while trying to avoid being discovered by Yi Potian. Therefore, he paid no attention to the group of people playing with the child, because he thought they were just ordinary people without any foundation in true qi cultivation.
Huh!
Pei Tianzong was surprised as he got closer. He could clearly sense that Lin Yao was only at the mid-stage of the Earth Rank, while Yi Fei was at the peak of the Earth Rank. Could this person not be Lin Yao?
Pei Tianzong became somewhat uncertain.
According to the political commissar of the 38th Army Infantry Division, Yi Fei got up early in the morning and went to Chengdu to pick up people, saying it was to conduct physical examinations on the soldiers.
Given the Pei family's information analysis capabilities, they naturally knew that Yi Fei was going to pick up Lin Yao, the young man who had injured Pei Yuan with his aura and pressure.
Therefore, Pei Tianzong naturally assumed that the other party was at least at the peak of the Earth level, but he did not expect that the person with Yi Fei was only at the mid-stage of the Earth level. Although he looked the same as in the photo, his power was far inferior. Martial artists only judge people by their aura and power, and do not care much about their appearance.
"Mr. Lin?" Pei Tianzong stopped two meters away from Lin Yao, his tone uncertain, because Lin Yao hadn't responded at all when he called out to him earlier.
"Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
Lin Yao knew, of course, that the old man was a Heavenly-level expert. He had already investigated him and was quite surprised. Why did he always encounter completely unexpected people every time he came to Baoding? Last time it was Pei Yuan and Sun Miao, and this time it was an old man, an old man who was a Heavenly-level expert.
"My name is Pei Tianzong, and I have come here specifically to visit Mr. Lin." Pei Tianzong did not reveal his identity. He would not easily offend an uncertain opponent, even if it was a Heaven-level expert. "The eldest elder of the Sun family has also come. He has come specifically to see Mr. Lin. We have long admired Mr. Lin's name."
Pei Tianzong? Sun Woxing?
Pei Tianzong! Sun Woxing!
Lin Yao was stunned, and Yi Fei was stunned.
The eldest elder of the Pei family, Pei Tianzong, who is known as the number one expert in China, actually appeared here. He was waiting to see Lin Yao, and he was with the eldest elder of the Sun family, Sun Woxing!
This is absolutely thrilling!
Yi Fei felt both shock and pride. For the Yi family's guest elder to receive a personal visit from the top expert was an honor in itself. He had felt honored when he heard that two elders from the Pei family had visited Yanji together, believing his family could finally be revived.
The arrival of Pei Tianzong back then was not as shocking as it is now, because after all, Elder Yi Potian had advanced to the Heavenly level, and it was normal for Pei Tianzong, who was also a Heavenly level expert, to come and congratulate him and observe the strength of the Yi family.
But this time, because of Pei Yuan and Sun Miao's encounter, it directly attracted two Heavenly-level experts who were known as the number one master and the number one defender in the world, which Yi Fei found hard to accept.
Lin Yao's feelings were different. When he first heard about Pei Tianzong's identity, he was only slightly surprised because he was not afraid of a Heaven-level expert. Xiao Cao's abilities had improved, and even the second leaf had grown to 90% of the size of the first leaf. Dealing with a Heaven-level expert was no problem for him. Lin Yao even suspected that Xiao Cao would not suffer as much damage as before.
Pei Tianzong's words immediately alerted Lin Yao. Sun Woxing, the so-called top-level defensive expert, and the "Langya Jade Pendant" that could deal with mental attacks, were both people Lin Yao was wary of. He didn't know if Xiaocao's attack could be defended against. Ever since he was countered by the "Langya Jade Pendant" last time, Lin Yao no longer dared to underestimate the experts in the world.
If these two Heavenly Realm experts were to turn against him, the outcome of their fight would be uncertain. This is because Xiaocao had re-understood the abilities of Heavenly Realm experts and had told Lin Yao that he was in trouble. When Xiaocao attacked, he was unable to effectively defend against attacks from other Heavenly Realm experts. This was Lin Yao's weakness and also the best way for others to deal with him.
They all thought about it a lot, and the scene became a little awkward. The three of them stood on the playground without saying a word for half a minute.
"Hello!" Lin Yao finally broke the deadlock. Pei Tianzong's identity made it impossible for him to remain low-key any longer. "May I ask what brings you here? I'm a little nervous."
Pei Tianzong's forced feigned weakness was obviously not shameful. Lin Yao had already let go of his inhibitions. After being toughened up by the people in the internal affairs office, he was now, to use the words of the female staff, focused on results above all else. Success or failure was the only measure of a hero. Who cared about the means used? Showing a little weakness wouldn't hurt him, especially when facing a Heavenly-level expert.
“Mr. Lin, shall we go back to the room to talk? Elder Sun must be getting impatient.” Pei Tianzong didn’t see any tension or unease on Lin Yao’s face, and his opinion of him improved even more. He no longer regarded Lin Yao as a mid-stage Earth Realm person.
"I will follow Elder Pei's arrangements." Lin Yao replied politely, but not very respectfully. He thought to himself, no wonder the Sun family is known as the best defensive family in the world. They even push Pei Tianzong to the front when they meet someone, while he hides in the house to watch the show. How could they not be safe? Their defense is as good as their daily affairs. It would be unreasonable for them not to be strong.
When everyone returned to Yi Fei's office, the broken window had been repaired and replaced with thick rebar, as if to prepare for the next blow.
After exchanging greetings and taking their seats, Lin Yao carefully examined the two Heavenly-level experts before him.
Pei Tianzong was vigorous and had an otherworldly air about him. His full head of silver hair was cut short and neat, and his ruddy face gave people a sense of wealth, but he also seemed very detached. These two feelings made Lin Yao judge that Pei Tianzong's skills must be two-sided, with both attack and defense reaching an extremely high level, just like the characteristics of the Pei family, which is a balance between offense and defense.
Sun Woxing looked like a chubby Maitreya Buddha, only much smaller than the Buddha. But his smile made him instantly friendly. When Lin Yao saw him, he even forgot his earlier speculations and judgments about Sun Woxing on the playground.
“Mr. Lin, Pei Yuan was quite offensive last time, and the Pei family has no objection to your intervention. We just want to learn about that kind of oppressive aura, since it’s unprecedented. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Lin is currently at the mid-stage of the Earth Realm, and you shouldn’t have such strength.” Pei Tianzong stated the purpose of his visit directly. Ever since discovering Lin Yao’s mid-stage Earth Realm status, he really didn’t want to be too polite or evasive.
Sun Woxing didn't speak, but smiled at Lin Yao with an expression that said "exactly, exactly." He was also eager to know the result.
“Elders,” Lin Yao thought to himself, “So that’s how it is.” After a moment’s thought, he prepared to tell the truth, “I don’t know what happened either. I learned some witchcraft from the Miao family last time, and I accidentally created this kind of pressure. I don’t know the specific reason.”
"Oh, right, Elder Sun." Lin Yao seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to Sun Woxing. "I was also injured that time. I heard a very soft sound, and then it felt like I was hit by a heavy hammer. I was shocked and suffered internal bleeding, but I endured it without showing it. Commander Yi said it might be the Sun family's 'Langya Jade Pendant.' Will this have any aftereffects?"
The principle is as described, which is consistent with my initial assessment.
