43: As adults, we should open the door to a new world

Shen Bei understood that Gu Changfeng didn't want to make a big deal out of the reward.

Of course, Shen Bei also knew that the reward would definitely be given, but when it would be approved, that was uncertain.

This won't do.

Although dealing with the Apocalypse Cult was an unexpected event.

It wasn't a verbal employment or mission.

But in essence, the police station's bounty for such things was long-term.

That is to say, this also counted as a job or mission!

It could definitely activate the daily settlement panel.

These were all attribute points.

And if the reward money wasn't in place, the System would determine that the mission hadn't been completed.

It could only be postponed indefinitely.

Shen Bei naturally couldn't accept this, so he wanted to have a good talk with Gu Changfeng.

And at this moment.

Two beautiful figures suddenly walked into the police station.

Their appearance instantly made the police station shine brightly.

"Brother!"

It was Professor Gu Xinrou.

She had an angry expression, carrying her innate dominance over her brother: "Why did you arrest my student! Explain it clearly to me!"

Shen Bei felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Look.

Did you see?

Your Gu Changfeng's position in Professor Gu Xinrou's heart is not as good as mine.

Shen Bei looked at Teacher Gu.

She was wearing a high-waisted short skirt at this time, simple yet stylish.

The hem of the skirt fell exactly one palm's width above her knees, cleverly revealing a section of slender thigh, like meticulously carved porcelain, fair and lustrous.

Her calves were not the muscular lines obtained through deliberate exercise, but rather possessed a natural slenderness and length.

It was as if they had been finely polished, exuding an elegant and noble aura.

And Shen Bei said bitterly: "Too unreasonable!"

As soon as these five words came out, Professor Gu Xinrou immediately glared, stretched out her fair, tender hand, and went forward to pinch Gu Changfeng's neck: "What did you do to my student, tell me, you scoundrel!"

Gu Changfeng had a helpless expression, his mouth twitching, like a wooden man, completely speechless.

And the other girl was Jian Tong.

She had changed into another outfit at this time.

Wearing a pair of white canvas shoes, a section of snow-white, slender calf was exposed above her ankles, her youthful skin appearing even smoother and more delicate under the lights.

Her steps were light and firm, every stride revealing her determination and resilience.

The night wind from the entrance of her skirt swayed with the wind, and her white dress fluttered in the wind, vaguely revealing her tall figure.

At the same time, her eyes flickered with hostility towards Gu Changfeng.

But when she looked at Shen Bei, her gaze changed, like a bottomless lake, now filled with unshed tears.

Those watery eyes, as if containing stars, the tears leisurely falling at the corners of her eyes reflected endless sadness, like clear, bright pearls.

It seemed she guessed that Shen Bei must have suffered torture, and her heart ached for him.

At this moment, Gu Changfeng raised his hands high, saying innocently: "Sister, can you please stop making a fuss? This is a police station!"

Professor Gu Xinrou's expression was sacred and angry: "What's wrong with a police station! My student would never commit a crime, do I not know the students I Cultivate? You must have arrested the wrong person!"

"You ask him, is it me who won't let him go? It's him who won't leave."

"Hmm?"

Professor Gu Xinrou was stunned, slowly turned to look at Shen Bei, and asked: "What's going on? You said 'too unreasonable' not because you were wronged?"

Shen Bei said, "Ah": "I didn't say it was interrogation or beating, but Captain Gu seems unwilling to give me the reward I deserve."

After saying this.

Professor Gu Xinrou's entire face darkened.

She wished she could tear Shen Bei's mouth apart right now.

Could he not just say everything in one breath!

It was truly infuriating.

Could a mere reward be more important than his life?

Professor Gu Xinrou immediately put on the expression of a sweet little sister, tidying her brother's uniform collar, and said sweetly: "Brother, it's all a misunderstanding, I'll be leaving now."

Gu Changfeng's face was expressionless: "If you weren't my sister, you would have assaulted a police officer just now."

"Hmph." Professor Gu Xinrou tapped his chest: "You're taking it seriously."

Professor Gu Xinrou waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, don't disturb my brother's work."

"No, my matter hasn't been resolved yet, how can I—"

Before Shen Bei could finish speaking, Professor Gu Xinrou pulled Shen Bei out of the police station.

They immediately took a taxi and left.

"Teacher, that's my bonus, I want to go back and reason with them!" Shen Bei wailed, pounding his chest.

Professor Gu Xinrou rolled her eyes: "Stop shouting."

Jian Tong also chimed in: "It's good that you're fine, that place is so gloomy, why stay there?"

"Women, you understand nothing."

Shen Bei sighed.

...

Back at the hotel.

The three entered Shen Bei's room.

Professor Gu Xinrou sat on the couch, her legs elegantly crossed: "Shen Bei, did you secretly learn something again? Jian Tong came back and said you poked a Martial Artist's eye out, I almost thought I was dreaming."

In Professor Gu Xinrou's opinion, even if Shen Bei Cultivated early, even if he completed the third level of Horse Stance.

He wasn't a Martial Artist yet, still lacking a Martial Skill.

How could he possibly defeat a Martial Artist?

It must be that Shen Bei was secretly doing something behind her back.

Shen Bei said, "Ah": "I didn't learn anything, it's just that Liao Zhongyang, that big bad guy, insisted on teaching me a few moves. Sigh, I really chose my friends poorly, otherwise my attribute points could have broken through 100 points, how annoying!"

Professor Gu Xinrou looked at Shen Bei suspiciously.

She didn't believe a single punctuation mark of what Shen Bei had just said.

As his teacher, she knew Shen Bei's character too well.

Every time she defended Shen Bei as a good student, she had to be careful when speaking against her conscience, for fear of being struck by lightning.

"What's the background of the person who attacked you?"

Not only Professor Gu Xinrou, but even Jian Tong didn't know this.

That's why Professor Gu Xinrou bravely stormed the police station and immediately started pinching her brother without a word.

Shen Bei said seriously: "He's a madman from the Apocalypse Cult."

Jian Tong gasped: "Apocalypse Cult?"

Shen Bei nodded.

Professor Gu Xinrou said, "Oh," in sudden realization: "No wonder, you are this year's Champion, those madmen believe that Martial Artists hinder social progress and constitute a privileged class. There are quite a few examples of attacks on Martial Arts students."

But Shen Bei had one thing he didn't understand, and asked: "Teacher, when I was fighting the Apocalypse Cult, that madman actually said that Martial Skills were useless, what kind of statement is that?"

In fact, this question in Shen Bei's mind was shrouded in heavy fog.

If Martial Skills were useless... then it would be a return to simplicity, one punch breaking all techniques?

No wonder that cultist madman, even though he was a Martial Artist, didn't display any terrifying Martial Skills.

He ended up making a foolish mistake.

"Let's put it this way, modern Martial Artists are mainly divided into three categories."

Professor Gu Xinrou answered without hesitation: "First, university Martial Artists. Second, military Martial Artists. Third, civilian Martial Artists."

"Or we could add a category, Martial Artists with Family Legacy, but these people generally also join a martial arts university."

"Whether it's university Martial Artists or military Martial Artists, they focus on practical combat, with rank as secondary. These two are also the mainstream of society."

"The third category, civilian Martial Artists, are actually not recognized in the mainstream Martial Artist circles. Many people believe that civilian Martial Artists lack wisdom and the necessary combat power."

"A Martial Artist without wisdom or practical combat ability, can they still be called a Martial Artist? Such people are not even as good as mere fighters. University Martial Artists are skilled in both academics and martial arts."

"Military Martial Artists may be somewhat lacking in culture, but their practical combat ability will never be weak."

"Only civilian Martial Artists are mostly useless, only having rank. Many things they don't understand at all, so don't take what the cultist said too seriously."

Shen Bei said "Oh" a few times, stroking his chin.

He probably understood.

These kinds of Martial Artists, though called Martial Artists, are actually just bearing the name of a Martial Artist, enjoying some minor privileges.

In mainstream circles, civilian Martial Artists are not recognized at all, unless they prove themselves with strength.

Martial Artists, after all, are about strength.

Regardless of whether you use Martial Skills, or a punch that removes all frills and kills with one blow.

If you have strength, then everything you say is correct.

If you don't have strength, no matter how eloquently you speak, if you get your eye poked out in a fight, nothing you say matters.

And to increase strength, Martial Skills are undoubtedly the fastest method.

It's like a pistol, and Martial Skills are the bullets, absolutely lethal.

But a pistol can also become a burning stick, and a burning stick can also kill.

It just depends on how you play.

Shen Bei was thoughtful.

Judging from this incident, this world is far from as peaceful as he imagined.

You Wuchang of the Headhunter Tribe, the madmen of the Apocalypse Cult, and the Sea of Hopelessness connected by the earthquake...

The three chatted for a while longer.

Shen Bei was getting uncomfortable.

He yawned several times, constantly reminding Teacher Gu Xinrou that she should go back to her own room and not disturb his good things.

But Professor Gu Xinrou stretched, revealing her flat, smooth abdomen, and also yawned.

One second she was talking, the next she tilted her head, as if someone had drugged her, and just fell asleep.

Shen Bei: ...

Holy cow!

Don't sleep here!

Who am I going to sleep with!

Shen Bei looked helpless, and whispered in Jian Tong's ear: "Jian Tong, let's go to your room, important matters cannot be delayed."

Jian Tong felt a little shy when she heard this, she blinked gently, stood still without a word, and didn't dare to look back.

Shen Bei reached out and picked up the sleeping Teacher Gu Xinrou, placing her on the bed.

Of course, Shen Bei's gaze was quite impolite; taking advantage of the opportunity, he peered down from her collar, and that glimpse of rounded, snow-white skin almost made Shen Bei explode on the spot!

He put Professor Gu Xinrou down and covered her with the quilt.

Shen Bei hurriedly pulled the still shy Jian Tong.

And headed straight for her hotel room.

Everyone is an adult now.

It's time to open the door to a new world.

Tonight.

Shen Bei was going to fight to his heart's content!
