144: Is the alley blocking me?

“Your expression is a bit off.”

Shen Bei sat down, cracking Gua Zi, and continued, “Professor Gu Xinrou is my teacher, and she’s also from Changtu County. Think about it, she was able to educate someone like me into a talent. When she goes back to teach these social Martial Artists, won’t it be a piece of cake?”

Jian Shan sniffed and took a sip of tea, “Actually, I’m a good judge of character. I just think you can do it.”

You’re full of it!

When I wasn’t testing my attributes at your house, Jian Tong wasn’t even allowed to play with me… Shen Bei grumbled inwardly.

“I don’t have time to go home and deal with these old foxes either,” Shen Bei made an excuse for himself.

Jian Shan pressed his hand down and said earnestly, “Actually, I could also be an instructor, but do you know why County Magistrate Shi Yong agreed to let you take on the role?”

Shen Bei shook his head.

“Because you’re ruthless!” Jian Shan analyzed concisely, “These social Martial Artists are all old foxes, full of schemes. If you replaced me with Professor Gu Xinrou, would she be willing to hit them or curse them?”

“You might as well just say I have low character and poor quality,” Shen Bei rolled his eyes.

Jian Shan shook his head, denying it flatly, “I didn’t mean that. The main thing is that your reputation can keep them in line.”

“Keep them in line? Sun Bojian was still challenging me.”

“That’s an isolated case.”

Jian Shan put down his teacup and spoke again, “The main thing is that the instructor has extra income; the county has set aside a budget for you.”

Hearing this, Shen Bei’s eyes lit up like large light bulbs, “Why didn’t you say so earlier! I’ll take this instructor job!”

This is great!

Shen Bei wasn’t just looking at the money.

It was about the high probability of activating his settlement panel!

This seemed no different from working odd jobs!

Scolding others while earning rewards.

This job made him incredibly happy.

Jian Shan smiled, “I knew you had this kind of personality.”

“Oh, right.” Shen Bei rubbed his hands and instructed, “When you hire me as an instructor, don’t give me any official position, like a civil servant or contract worker. Just treat me as a temporary worker, and you are the employers.”

Jian Shan looked puzzled, “What kind of habit is this?”

“Just do as I say.”

“Alright, then. When Changtu County is almost ready and training can begin, I’ll call you.”

...

Leaving the guesthouse.

The sky was gradually darkening, winds were rising, and heavy dark clouds gathered, as if it was about to rain again.

Shen Bei walked home alone, against the wind.

Even though he wasn’t at school, Cultivating couldn’t stop.

Especially the “Hidden Breath Technique”

He still needed to Cultivate it much more.

Upon Major Achievement, it could shield the entire body’s life magnetic field, making one appear like an unremarkable roadside stone.

This would be an excellent way to preserve life when entering the catacombs and facing those less intelligent creatures.

As Shen Bei walked to the mouth of a dark alley.

Suddenly, a reverse gust of cold wind blew past.

Shen Bei’s scalp tingled, and before he could react.

A figure rushed out from the dim alley.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a hand grabbed Shen Bei’s shoulder, and he was silently whisked away from under the streetlamp, carried into the pitch-black alley.

Thud…

Shen Bei was violently thrown to the ground.

Then, a leather shoe kicked Shen Bei in the stomach.

However, the force made Shen Bei feel a little surprised.

It seemed to be the strength of an ordinary person.

Completely unlike what the person who just snatched him away would do.

“Damn you! You’re Shen Bei, right? Come on, get up and see who I am!”

Shen Bei slowly raised his head, his gaze becoming exceptionally deep. With that look.

Two men stood in the dark alley.

And he knew both of them!

One was Third-Rank Martial Artist Sun Bojian.

The other was Boss Li, who was currently kicking him!

Understood.

They had teamed up to get revenge on him.

Good, good, good.

He really liked this show!

Shen Bei slowly stood up, a twisted and neurotic smile on his Face, “So it’s Boss Li.”

“It’s your grandpa!”

Boss Li’s eyes surged with immense anger, “Didn’t expect this, did you? I know Brother Sun! Stand at attention! I’m going to give you a good few slaps to relieve my anger!”

“Shen Bei.” Sun Bojian blocked the alley entrance, his gaze chilling, “Isn’t it time to settle my brother’s matter?”

Boss Li rolled up his sleeves, “Brother Sun, whatever it costs, I’ll pay it, but I’m going to slap him a few times first to vent!”

“Go ahead,” Sun Bojian said with a sinister smile, “With me here, if he dares to harm a single hair on you, I’ll make him wish he were dead!”

Shen Bei laughed.

His arrogant laughter grew louder and louder, even overpowering the deafening roar of the wind, “Sun Bojian, when you say such words, have you considered the risk of losing your life when sticking up for someone?”

“Damn it!”

Boss Li let out a strange laugh, “You, a Second-Rank Martial Artist, dare to challenge my Brother Sun, a Third-Rank Martial Artist? Take this slap first!”

Saying that, Boss Li raised his arm, swung his palm, and slapped it directly across.

But in Shen Bei’s eyes, Boss Li, being an ordinary person, moved as slowly as a snail.

Shen Bei grabbed his arm.

With a crunch, he squeezed.

Directly crushing his wrist!

“Ah~~ Holy shit! Ah!! Let go, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Brother Sun!”

Boss Li’s eyes instantly split open, he roared hoarsely, wailing heartbreakingly.

His body also began to struggle, twitch, and twist frantically. Sweat rolled down his forehead, dampening his hair and cheeks.

This pain, almost enough to make him faint, constantly eroded his nerves, making his eyes hollow and dazed, as if he had lost all sensation and consciousness.

The humiliation and rage in Sun Bojian’s eyes almost spilled out, his gaze becoming terrifyingly cold as he said, word by word, “Shen Bei! You really don’t give Face! You dare to hurt my brother right in front of me! Stop it!”

Shen Bei sneered, his response even more cruel and violent, “Hurt your brother? You’re thinking too much, his end will be—”

Boom~~~

Shen Bei’s right fist, like an ignited heavy cannon, instantly slammed into Boss Li’s chest.

The next moment, he was like he’d been hit by a battering ram, sent flying backward.

“Ah!~! ! !”

In an instant.

Blood spewed from Boss Li’s mouth, along with the sound of bones shattering, cracking, and even the snapping of a bowstring.

That was Shen Bei’s punch, the terrifying force superimposed and vibrated, shaking out all the blood contained within his body, and at the same time, all his internal organs were shattered, and he died in mid-air, sent to Yellow Springs!

At this moment, Shen Bei’s cold Face wore a sinister sneer, his eyes carrying a hint of cruelty, “This is his end, Sun Bojian, do you have any objections?”

The wind whimpered, and screams and roars dissipated in the wind.

At this moment, Sun Bojian’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and a chilling aura subtly emanated from him. He said coldly, “This is you seeking death!”

With that.

Sun Bojian was about to lunge at Shen Bei.

However, from above in the dark night, a light voice drifted down, “Wait, it’s not your turn yet.”

Sun Bojian immediately stopped, looking at Shen Bei with a playful expression, his gaze conveying only one message to Shen Bei: You’re finished!

Shen Bei slowly raised his head to look at the buildings on both sides of the alley.

He saw a dark figure standing in the night wind, his long robe flapping loudly.

The person’s figure was tall and straight, his entire Face hidden in shadow, indistinct.

But Shen Bei always felt that this figure was somewhat… familiar.

“Shen Bei…”

The person lightly leaped, descending at an unnatural speed, landing softly.

He pushed back his hood and slowly walked out of the darkness.

“I’ve been waiting for you in Changtu County for a long time.”

When the man’s Face was exposed before Shen Bei.

Shen Bei’s slightly sharp eyebrows furrowed, and his expression became extremely solemn and stern.

“Is it because…” Shen Bei seemed to show a half-smile, continuing, “Changtu County doesn’t have Director Zheng, right?”

“Oh? You were there too? No matter, it seems you’re not confused yet.” The person laughed excitedly.

Shen Bei questioned, “I have one question I can’t figure out, why are you here to join the fun… Luo Chenyuan!”
