526: From now on, beat up anyone you dislike!

Night Watcher Courtyard.

A group of Night Watchers were still staring dumbfounded at Shen Bei, this monster.

It was truly a reversal of the natural order.

These unusual people never expected that this obscure Cultivator, who was even rejected from joining the Night Watchers,

would, in just a moment, slaughter Hong Long, a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm who had been causing chaos in the Royal City, making the Night Watchers cower!

It was astonishing!

How could they not be shocked!

They truly couldn't understand what kind of ability Shen Bei possessed to kill someone a whole major Realm above him!

Could it be… he talked him to death?

However, thinking about it, even if he talked Hong Long to death, that would still be his ability!

“How do I claim the Night Watcher's bounty? Is a ceremony required? Or am I already a Team Leader now?”

These were the questions Shen Bei cared about.

They were related to activating the daily settlement panel.

It must be said, after entering the underground cave this time, Shen Bei hadn't improved his strength for a while.

Although he had killed a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm, if Shen Bei had to do it again, he would definitely be cursing.

The loss of Life Qi, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

Shen Bei's words finally brought the people present back to their senses a bit; their gazes all focused on Bi Kun. The Prince was not present, and Bi Kun held the highest position, so this question naturally fell to Bi Kun to answer.

Bi Kun looked at Shen Bei, then at the head on the ground, and asked, “How exactly did you kill him?”

Shen Bei asked in confusion, “Your bounty didn't specify how to kill him, did it? Didn't the bounty say that as long as he was killed, I'd be a Team Leader? I only have one question, am I a Team Leader now?”

“This…” Bi Kun looked at Shen Bei, momentarily unsure how to answer.

If he said Shen Bei was a Team Leader, this fellow's origins were a bit unclear.

Although he was introduced by his son, who knew where Shen Bei came from in the end?

But if he said no, the Night Watcher's bounty was known to all.

Bi Kun was only a Team Leader himself and had no ability to handle such a matter.

“You Night Watchers aren't going to renege on a debt, are you?” Shen Bei looked at Bi Kun and said.

Bi Kun remained silent, unsure how to answer Shen Bei.

Damn it!

Shen Bei couldn't tolerate this and was about to get angry.

Just then, a voice came from the main gate of the Night Watcher Courtyard.

“From today onwards, you are a Team Leader of the Night Watchers.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and their faces showed joy as they simultaneously bowed and saluted, saying, “Your Royal Highness!”

Shen Bei also carefully observed the newcomer; he had white hair and an aged face. Was this the Prince Wei, the Lord of the Night Watchers, who was rumored to possibly be a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm?

Prince Wei nodded to the people present, then walked up to Shen Bei and said to him, “From now on, you are a Team Leader of the Night Watchers. As for the official uniform, this Prince will find a time to request it from Your Majesty.”

Prince Wei's words made the Night Watchers present exchange glances. But everyone at this moment also respectfully saluted and said, “Greetings, Team Leader Sir!”

Shen Bei was stunned; he hadn't expected the Night Watchers to actually make him a Team Leader, instantly becoming the second-in-command beneath Prince Wei. He had originally thought that with his strength, and given that his identity couldn't be thoroughly investigated, if he compromised a bit, getting a Team Envoy position would be pretty good.

He hadn't expected his wish to come true.

Also, more importantly… Prince Wei was a Royal person!

Perhaps he could even learn the secrets of the Old Capital.

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness! Greetings, fellow colleagues!” Shen Bei bowed to Prince Wei to express his gratitude, then returned the salute to the other Night Watchers.

Prince Wei nodded, waved his hand, and said, “Go about your other duties. Additionally, those above the rank of Team Envoy, come with this Prince. I have matters to discuss.”

“Yes!”

There were quite a few Night Watchers present at the scene, more than ten of them.

In the past, there weren't so many in the Night Watcher Courtyard, as Night Watchers were always busy. The reason so many had gathered this time was due to Hong Long.

The more than ten people and Bi Kun followed Prince Wei into the main hall of the Night Watchers. Prince Wei sat in the seat of honor in the hall, and he waved his hand, signaling everyone to be seated.

Shen Bei naturally sat on Prince Wei's left side, which made Bi Kun pause slightly, but he didn't say much and sat on Prince Wei's right side.

The others also took their seats.

Prince Wei looked at Shen Bei and said, “Do you find the climate of the Royal City agreeable?”

This sentence made Shen Bei's heart skip a beat. What did he mean by that? Also… how did he know I wasn't from the Royal City? From the moment he entered until now, he hadn't even asked his name, yet he acted as if he was very familiar with him.

Shen Bei felt his scalp tingle even more!

Prince Wei then said, “The prosperity of the Royal City can be captivating. You are young and promising; this is a good time for you here!”

Shen Bei felt increasingly baffled!

Prince Wei, however, chuckled and continued, “Now you also have the identity of a Team Leader. In the Royal City, as long as you don't violate the Night Watcher's rules, you can handle yourself with confidence even when facing other Royal family members. What are your thoughts on this?”

Bi Kun and the others looked at Prince Wei in confusion. Was this something Prince Wei should be saying?

The way he said it, it was as if he was deliberately reminding Shen Bei that he could bully others by relying on his position. As long as he was in the right, he could even bully Royal family members.

Bi Kun recalled that when he became a Team Leader, Prince Wei was very strict, warning him not to use his position to bully others.

Shen Bei's scalp tingled even more; he naturally sensed Prince Wei's oddness. Why was his attitude like this?

Shen Bei thought for a moment and said, “From now on, I'll beat whoever I don't like?”

Bi Kun and the others' hearts skipped a beat. You shouldn't be saying that you won't cause trouble, that you'll uphold the rules and never bully others by relying on your position. You actually brazenly said you'd beat whoever you didn't like. What do you take the Night Watchers for?

But what surprised them even more was that Prince Wei wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled and said, “With your current strength, you can't beat anyone. The Royal City is a deep place. Cultivators are a huge presence to ordinary people. But for true powerful figures, who doesn't have a few in their family?”

Shen Bei also completely relaxed and said, “Aren't there still the Night Watchers? The Team Envoys here are at least Seventh Realm Cultivators. With your help, who would I need to be afraid of?”

Prince Wei said, “That's true… Although the Night Watchers struggled against Hong Long, their overall strength in the Royal City means they don't need to fear any powerful figure. Your identity as a Team Leader allows you to run rampant in half of the Royal City.”

Bi Kun found it strange. Why was Prince Wei in such a good mood today? And the implications of his words seemed to be telling Shen Bei: 'From now on, the Night Watchers are your backing; you have a strong background, so go run rampant in the Royal City.'

Shen Bei didn't dare to let loose anymore at this point. Damn it, he wasn't Prince Wei's illegitimate son, so this attitude made him uneasy. Shen Bei pondered what could be the reason for his attitude?

Could it be because he was handsome?

“Oh, right! How did you kill Hong Long?” Prince Wei suddenly asked.

Shen Bei thought for a moment and said, “Junior is just a Cultivator; how could I have such ability? It was merely that an elder in my family secretly suppressed him, which then gave me the opportunity to kill him.”

Shen Bei's skin was so thick that even an awl couldn't pierce it; lying came as naturally to him as breathing, without the slightest blush.

This sentence made Bi Kun and the others widen their eyes. To suppress Hong Long without causing a major disturbance, even with a sneak attack, would absolutely require Divine Power Realm strength.

In other words… behind Shen Bei stood a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm even more powerful than Hong Long!

The group suddenly understood why Prince Wei had such an attitude. The descendant of a Divine Power Realm expert could indeed walk rampant in the Royal City. Prince Wei's words might have been sarcastic, implying that once he joined the Night Watchers, he shouldn't rely on his identity to run rampant anymore.

“So that's how it is!” Prince Wei nodded. He didn't delve deeper but said to Shen Bei, “Find some time to meet your elder!”

“Alright!” Shen Bei replied, “I'll mention this to my elder!”

Prince Wei nodded, then turned to the many Team Envoys and said, “Below the Team Leader, Team Envoys need to be assigned. Which of you is willing to serve under Shen Bei?”

This question caused silence to fall. No one spoke.

Although Shen Bei was a Team Leader, who would want to be led by a Little Brat, and a Team Leader who had just brazenly killed Hong Long at that? That was a bit dangerous.

“No one is willing?” Prince Wei's gaze swept over these people, but they all lowered their heads, none responding to Prince Wei's words.
