Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 173: Ranked Number 1

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Ranked Number 1

However, he looked into it and discovered that Ye Qianqian was a student from Binjiang, temporarily registered at a high school in Yuntai to take the college entrance exam. Her parents’ occupation was listed as farming!

By all accounts, such a student shouldn’t have any significant connections, let alone ties to the two individuals standing before him!

Perhaps it’s just a coincidence of the same name!

Director Qian thought to himself and immediately smiled, "Alright, I’ll help you look into it!"

As he spoke, Director Qian began typing away at the computer on his desk.

But when the computer screen displayed Ye Qianqian’s records, Director Qian instantly sucked in a sharp breath.

Because this Ye Qianqian was the very student whose test scores he had tampered with!

In truth, Ye Qianqian’s performance in the exams had been stellar—so good that she was only one point shy of Yuntai’s college entrance exam Zhuang Yuan. But he had already swapped her score with someone else’s, and that person’s father held an extremely influential position.

Weighing the pros and cons internally, he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I’m terribly sorry. Your sister’s college entrance examination result wasn’t very satisfactory; she scored only 252 points!"

"Only 252?"

Ye Fei frowned slightly upon hearing this.

As a Cultivator, his senses were sharp. Though Director Qian believed he had concealed his emotions well, Ye Fei still saw through him clearly.

Could there be something fishy about these scores?

With that thought, Ye Fei immediately asked, "Would it be possible for Director Qian to retrieve my sister’s test paper for me to review?"

"Retrieve it?"

Director Qian didn’t even consider the request before flatly refusing, "Certainly not!"

"Not? Director Qian, what is the meaning of this?" Guo Wenyuan finally couldn’t hold back and asked.

As someone of his rank, he knew that asking Director Qian to retrieve test papers was no big deal—modifying scores wasn’t out of the question either!

Yet now Director Qian was saying no?

"I... Mr. Guo, I..."

"It’s my call!"

Before Director Qian could formulate an explanation, a middle-aged man in a tailored suit walked in, squinting slightly. Staring coldly at Guo Wenyuan, he chuckled and said, "What’s wrong? Does Mr. Guo have an issue with that?"

"You’re... Vice Governor Yuan?" Guo Wenyuan exclaimed in a moment of stunned realization.

...

Later, through Old Gu’s intervention, Ye Qianqian’s true score was restored. To repay Old Gu, Ye Fei agreed to serve as a combat instructor at the Iron Blood Division’s camp for a month.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Fei left the Iron Blood Division’s camp.

Just as he had agreed with Old Gu earlier—no more, no less!

But little did he know, as he stepped out of the Iron Blood Division, certain information had begun to spread, causing a massive upheaval.

Southern Yue, the lawless border zone where China meets neighboring countries.

Here, you’d find arms smuggling, human trafficking, and drugs. But more importantly, China’s largest assassin group, Blood Kill, had its headquarters here—and it was open to the public.

The open nature of Blood Kill didn’t mean they were lax in security.

Quite the opposite—outsiders hardly realized Blood Kill was more of a platform for assassins, regularly posting assassination missions for killers who came to claim their tasks.

"Hey! Old Li, give me a bottle of ’82 Lafite!"

Inside the bar at Blood Kill’s headquarters, a one-eyed middle-aged man tossed a large box onto the counter and said with a cheerful smile.

An elderly bartender opened the box and inspected it briefly before replying nonchalantly, "The head of the Golden Triangle Leopard Chief—definitely worth a few bottles of Lafite!"

"Haha, of course! Not only enough to drink, but my debts should be cleared too, right?" The man grinned.

"Alright, three million settled, plus a complimentary bottle of Lafite!"

The bartender skillfully tossed the box into a secret compartment and threw a bottle of Lafite onto the counter.

Seeing this, the man didn’t mind and chuckled, "Didn’t expect to have an extra bottle left. Oh, by the way, got any big offers recently? These small bounties aren’t enough for my drinking money!"

"Big offers?"

The bartender chuckled faintly, "Naturally, there are. Just wondering if you dare take them!"

"Not dare? Haha, I rank as the highest task completion rate in Blood Kill. Even Blood Kill List targets aren’t beyond my reach!"

Saying this, the man licked his lips, shedding his carefree demeanor entirely; in its place was a chilling killing intent.

Other assassins in the bar nodded in respect.

They knew that names on the Blood Kill List were top-tier Innate Martial Kings from China!

While the origins of Blood Kill’s information remained a mystery, one thing was certain—anyone appearing on the Blood Kill List was among China’s elite.

And anyone capable of taking down such targets naturally earned their admiration!

Yet the bartender maintained his impassive expression and said, "Silver Wolf, don’t forget—you’re on the Blood Kill List too. One day, someone might come for you as well!"

Silver Wolf burst into laughter at the bartender’s words, "Let them come! I, Silver Wolf, am forty-five years old and in my prime! Back in the day, even that Wang Tong—I was only narrowly outmatched in our duel!"

Hiss!

Silver Wolf’s words drew instant disapproval from the crowd, transforming their admiration into jeers.

Everyone knew that his fight with Wang Tong happened when Wang Tong had just attained Innate Martial King status. Later, Wang Tong surpassed all others, becoming China’s second-best and eventually the overseas first master.

But what Silver Wolf originally saw as a shameful match had now become his bragging point.

Silver Wolf laughed heartily and said, "What’s with the jeers? I fought Wang Tong—deal with it! Oh, Old Li, what’s my rank these days on the Blood Kill List? Fifteenth? Twentieth? Don’t tell me I’ve dropped again!"

"No, you’ve risen to the fourteenth spot!" the bartender replied indifferently, pressing a button by the table.

A screen above him lit up, displaying Silver Wolf’s details and rank.

But before Silver Wolf could soak in his pride, the bartender added, "You climbed up because someone ahead of you died!"

"Died? Who?" Silver Wolf asked curiously.

Everyone knew the Blood Kill List was composed of Innate Martial Kings who wouldn’t easily fall. Especially within the top fifteen, their positions were solidified!

"The former third-ranked Wang Tong!" The bartender said flatly.

"Wang Tong? How’s that possible? Wait, what do you mean by third place? Wang Tong has always been second!" Silver Wolf asked, bewildered.

"Because someone new took the first spot—and killed him!"

The bartender pressed another button, and a name flashed across the screen:

Blood Kill Bounty List, Rank One: Mr. Ye!

"Who is this Mr. Ye?"

Silver Wolf stared at the large "No. 1" by the name "Mr. Ye," immediately furrowing his brow.

As an assassin and an Innate Martial King ranked on the Blood Kill List, Silver Wolf naturally knew the major top-tier figures in China.

Yet this Mr. Ye—he had never heard of.

The other assassins in the bar also looked puzzled, shaking their heads to show their ignorance.

But just then, the bartender pressed the button again, and detailed information about Ye Fei appeared on the screen.

Blood Kill Bounty List, Rank One. Bounty Amount: 15 Billion!

Grey Valley County, defeated Shangguan Family Head, Innate Martial King Shangguan Jingyun, crippled him!
