15: Come on, tell me, what is a warrior?

While the people outside the door still harbored some doubts,

Gu Changfeng’s shout directly confirmed it: “Caught him! It’s You Wuchang, that murderer!”

Boom!!!

Upon hearing this, Professor Gu Xinrou’s face immediately changed. She clutched her knees tightly, her body trembling slightly.

She secretly peeked at Shen Bei with her clear, large eyes.

Shen Bei actually caught him?

How was this possible?

It was simply unbelievable!

It seemed she would have to find other excuses if she wanted to deal with Shen Bei.

However, this was not what Professor Gu Xinrou was currently thinking about.

Immediately, she also rushed into the room to check the situation.

At this moment, Xiao Ying and Wang Ye’s pupils constricted slightly, their faces extremely shocked.

They also entered the room shortly after.

Upon seeing it…

Good heavens!

They saw You Wuchang lying on the ground, sound asleep.

He was tied up with bedsheets, the structure looking somewhat familiar.

It felt like something they had seen in Japanese romance action films.

Even more astonishing was the wire…

It was like a silk cocoon formed from wire.

Anyone unaware would think it was body art.

Truly skillful hands.

At this moment, facing this incredible scene, everyone felt as if their throats were clutched by an invisible hand, their breath hitched, unable to utter another word.

Shen Bei shrugged, spread his hands, and said with an air of arrogance, “See? I said I caught him, and I caught him.”

Xiao Ying gave a thumbs-up: “Brother, I don’t admire anyone but you! For any job that pays, you truly charge to the front!”

Wang Ye nodded, deeply understanding.

One must know, You Wuchang, that cold-blooded, heinous murderer, was a Second-Rank Martial Artist!

Even students from their Martial Arts Academy would have to call for Gu Changfeng’s support if they encountered him.

They would never dare to act rashly.

But Shen Bei, who wasn’t even a Martial Artist, had inexplicably taken down a Second-Rank Martial Artist!

It was incredibly astonishing!

At this moment, Gu Changfeng coughed, signaling Xiao Ying and the others with his eyes to get to work.

Xiao Ying naturally understood Gu Changfeng’s meaning and immediately rushed into the inner room, beginning to search for spoils of war.

“How did you do it?”

Professor Gu Xinrou’s gaze gradually softened, her expression gentle and virtuous. Her willow-leaf brows furrowed, and her sparkling eyes held a light of inquiry.

Shen Bei maintained his mysterious demeanor and said, “Later, when we return to my home, I will give a detailed report to Teacher.”

Gu Changfeng mercilessly exposed him: “Sleeping pills. This guy drugged You Wuchang.”

Professor Gu Xinrou suddenly understood, her crescent eyes curving into a smile. She covered her mouth and chuckled softly twice: “So that’s it. As expected of my student, so clever!”

“However…” Gu Changfeng, like a cold statue, said in an educational tone, “I still have a few words to say, Shen Bei. Your actions were truly too risky. You should have actively notified us and let us handle it, instead of showing off.”

Professor Gu Xinrou nodded, her expression mischievous, and also criticized, “Exactly! Shen Bei, if something happened to you, what would everyone do?!”

Shen Bei’s gaze was calm as he slowly said, “Wasn’t I going for the million-dollar bounty?”

Professor Gu Xinrou reached out her soft hand and twisted Shen Bei’s ear, her red lips breathing like orchids by his ear: “Money, money, money! All you know is money all day! In my eyes, if your liberal arts score improves by one point, it’s more useful than any money! You must know…”

Professor Gu Xinrou prattled on for a long time.

Shen Bei didn’t hear any of it.

He only felt Professor Gu Xinrou’s warm breath tickling his ear.

Youthful passion.

This strange sensation made Shen Bei’s ‘tripod’ stand up.

Shen Bei was incredibly embarrassed, desperately trying to think of other things to make the blood flow back down.

But… Professor Gu Xinrou’s charm was truly beyond saving.

Shen Bei had lost control of his ‘tripod’!

Soon.

Xiao Ying and the others returned to Gu Changfeng with rather unpleasant expressions, quietly saying, “Besides a bag of scalpels, there’s nothing else…”

Gu Changfeng’s eyes suddenly moved: “What do I need scalpels for?! How much money can these useless things sell for? I want Medicinal Pills! Those are valuable, to offset the bounty!”

“There are no Medicinal Pills.”

“There can be.”

“There really aren’t any.”

Gu Changfeng’s gaze was strange, instantly turning to Shen Bei.

Could it be… this guy had plundered them?

No way?

Could he have thought that far ahead?

Does he have the guts to swallow the loot?

Is he so desperate for money that he doesn’t care about his life?

Gu Changfeng asked tentatively, “Shen Bei, was the scene kept intact? Was anything moved?”

Shen Bei shook his head: “I didn’t move anything. Oh, right, I also spent money on sleeping pills and mineral water, a total of 5002. You have to reimburse me for that.”

I wish I could reimburse you!

Gu Changfeng snorted. How could a Second-Rank Martial Artist murderer not carry Medicinal Pills with him?

You brat must have taken them and won’t admit it!

Playing both sides, are we?

But Gu Changfeng had no evidence.

Nor could he search Shen Bei’s home.

After all, Shen Bei was a hero; turning around and searching his house wasn’t how things were done.

Moreover, in this world, there was also a rule.

It applied to anyone’s home.

If there was no approved document, for a house, there was only one saying: The wind may enter, the rain may enter, but the king may not.

Of course, this was for the authorities.

Thieves, robbers, etc., would not abide by this rule.

Gu Changfeng’s face held a forced smile, but his tone contained a hint of sour jealousy that he couldn’t quite hide: “Forget it, if it’s gone, it’s gone. Let Lingnan City approve the bounty then, at least the murderer is caught.”

Then.

Gu Changfeng and the others lifted and carried You Wuchang away.

A merciless judgment awaited him.

No need to think much, it would surely be death.

After the commotion of this incident passed.

The biggest winner was Shen Bei, who had played both sides.

He just had to wait for the bounty to come down, and after the System settlement tomorrow, the bounty would be doubled.

“Teacher! I still have questions!”

Shen Bei saw Professor Gu Xinrou about to leave and called out.

Professor Gu Xinrou tilted her head, her beautiful large eyes fluttering, and glanced at him: “What is it?”

“It’s about Martial Artists.”

“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?”

“I’m eager to learn.”

Professor Gu Xinrou’s willow-leaf brows slightly furrowed. She pursed her fragrant lips and her peach blossom eyelids lowered by half.

She turned to Gu Changfeng and said, “Brother, you go back first. I’ll chat with Shen Bei for a while.”

Gu Changfeng was also eager to go back and close the case, but he still quietly said, “Try to find out if the stolen goods are with Shen Bei.”

Professor Gu Xinrou rolled her eyes and didn’t respond.

The two came to Shen Bei’s room.

Shen Bei didn’t waste time and directly asked, “Teacher, what exactly is a Martial Artist?”

This question seemed childish, and many people would surely mock him for it.

Someone who doesn’t even know what a Martial Artist is, yet is pursuing the Martial Dao path, how ridiculous!

However, Professor Gu Xinrou had no intention of laughing.

Aside from true Martial Artists, or those with a deep family legacy, how many ordinary people truly knew what a Martial Artist was!

Shen Bei wasn’t actually asking what a Martial Artist was, but rather how to become one, the standards of a Martial Artist, the definition of a Martial Artist…

These were, in fact, secrets.

The authorities had not released this information to ordinary people for many reasons. Generally, one would only learn it after being admitted to a Martial Arts Academy.

Professor Gu Xinrou sighed leisurely, then smiled sweetly: “Shen Bei, what significance does this have for you? Your four-dimensional attributes don’t meet the standard. You just played both sides and should have earned two million in money, right? Use it sparingly, and it can ensure you won’t lack food and drink.”

Shen Bei was extremely serious, his voice neither hurried nor slow, soft and gentle: “No, I want to become a Martial Artist. Now I want to know what the true definition of a Martial Artist is.”

Professor Gu Xinrou narrowed her eyes, gazing at him without blinking.

Seeing Shen Bei’s serious expression, she felt at ease.

“Alright, if you want to know, I’ll tell you in advance.”

Professor Gu Xinrou raised her long, swan-like neck, lifted her hand to unclip the hairpin at the back of her head, and her thick, dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall. With a gentle shake of her head, a wave of faint fragrance wafted through the air.

“That is…”
