543: I want to be the most handsome guy in the brothel
Wei Wang gave Shen Bei a mission.
This mission reminded Shen Bei of a large snake that had eavesdropped on his conversation with Bi Tuo some time ago.
It must have a great deal to do with the Qiu Sect.
Perfect, with the Night Watcher's Ming Mirror, he could illuminate it and deal with it all at once.
After all, this was Shen Bei's first encounter with demons, and if they truly possessed intelligence and language capabilities, it would be a fatal threat to the identity he had so painstakingly acquired.
Wei Wang, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't help but yawn.
The conveyed meaning was very clear.
Shen Bei didn't dally, and spoke again: "If Your Highness has no further commands, your subordinate will take his leave."
Wei Wang nodded: "Use the main gate."
Shen Bei: ...
Good heavens.
Shen Bei was stunned; he had indeed intended to climb the wall and leave.
After all, he hadn't entered through the main gate either.
Could this Wei Wang read minds?
He's certainly good at figuring out what others are thinking.
Shen Bei, after leaving the courtyard, did not return to his residence, but continued towards Yushan Pavilion.
After all, he had told the You Family he was going out to find women, so he had to maintain that persona. If he rushed back now, the You Family would wonder if they had been used as pawns.
Shen Bei didn't plan to deal with the You Family; he intended to use them as a bridge for communication.
Not all of Hong Long's remnants could have been eliminated, but their absence today indicated that they weren't desperate to die and still harbored illusions.
Since that was the case, they could be put to good use.
If used well, conflict could turn into friendship, and Hong Long's remnants might even be used by him. In this, the You Family was crucial. He needed to let them see his value and be able to utilize his value.
Visiting a brothel in broad daylight was indeed a bit inappropriate. But this would better highlight his impatient nature, making them believe he wasn't using the You Family for his schemes.
...
However, Shen Bei wasn't the only one visiting a brothel in broad daylight; there was also Fu Jian, the first Military personnel dispatched from the earth's surface's Huaxia!
Fu Jian's original station was the Sichuan West Abyss.
At that time, to avoid his face being corroded by the odd object mask, Shen Bei specifically went to Sichuan West, and after being recommended by Fu Jian, successfully learned Sichuan Opera Face Changing.
He gambled on the daily settlement panel, and unexpectedly, he won the gamble.
And ever since Professor Gu Xinrou led the team to successfully replicate the odd object mask, the Military secretly recruited several loyal and upright Military who were willing to dedicate themselves to the great cause.
Fu Jian didn't hesitate at all and immediately signed up!
After a series of inspections and selections.
Fu Jian was successfully chosen.
Fu Jian himself wasn't someone who acted on a momentary impulse or fleeting passion.
Although there would be sacrifices, the country also guaranteed that they would later research how to restore the corrosive damage caused by the odd object mask.
Of course, this was just one of the benefits; there would also be a large allocation of resources, striving to raise the volunteers' Realm to Martial God.
According to Shen Bei's intelligence, once one crossed the Martial God Realm, they would enter a completely new Realm.
Perhaps this was also a turning point for recovering from facial corrosion.
Under the combined conditions, Fu Jian directly went for it!
With resources and the ability to raise his Realm, perhaps there would be a silver lining!
Shen Bei did it, so why should he be a coward?
Everyone has a head between two ears; no one is better than anyone else!
Therefore, after a brief training, Fu Jian acted as the vanguard, following closely after Shen Bei entered the Dungeon.
He also entered from the Changtu Permanent Dungeon, and with Bai Wei's personal escort and the use of the "Instant Shadow Return to Origin Pact" spell, he advanced quickly without any delay.
Bai Wei sent Fu Jian to three thousand li away from the Imperial City, left him a large sum of money sufficient for him to spend lavishly, and then quickly departed.
After all, Bai Wei's identity was too sensitive; without a legitimate reason, staying for too long would attract the attention and pursuit of other Dungeon Martial God Cultivators.
Thus, Fu Jian spent several days traveling three thousand li, day and night, arriving at the Imperial City's border, and using money to pave his way, successfully infiltrated the Imperial City.
According to the Military's instructions.
Shen Bei had already arrived at the Imperial City in advance.
According to the opportunity designated by the Military, Fu Jian's best infiltration strategy was to rendezvous with Shen Bei, find an opportunity to infiltrate a key department of the Imperial City, and then continuously acquire intelligence to provide strong intelligence support for the earth's surface and other Dungeon defenses and combat advancements.
After Fu Jian entered the Imperial City, he was completely bewildered.
How could he find Shen Bei in such a vast Imperial City, teeming with strange people?
Could he really hang a sign on the city gate saying "Odd change, even no change, signs look at quadrants"?
However, after several days of confusion, Fu Jian suddenly received a piece of news.
He occasionally overheard on the street that a super fierce guy had come to the Night Watcher and was causing a bloody storm in the Imperial City.
His name was... Shen Bei!
Fu Jian thought he was hallucinating.
Although the surnames and names in the Dungeon were sometimes quite unusual, like Gu Jiu and Maru Go.
But there were also normal names, similar to those of earth's surface humans.
Initially, Fu Jian thought it was a case of the same name.
After some inquiries.
Based on the information provided by the Military, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed like Shen Bei's way of doing things.
Of course, the Military did not keep a photo of Shen Bei as a strange person.
This was an extremely dangerous act.
Therefore, Fu Jian also did not have a photo of Shen Bei's appearance as a strange person.
He could only analyze from the clues whether this "Shen Bei" was *the* "Shen Bei."
Based on his overall judgment, Fu Jian was absolutely certain that the troublesome Shen Bei was the Shen Bei who stirred up trouble on the earth's surface!
And he had even entered a department equivalent to a "state organ" and "violent machine"!
Fu Jian was dumbfounded on the spot.
Who would have thought that in less than a month, Shen Bei would achieve such a high-status identity!
It was like cutting a butt with a small knife; it was truly an eye-opener!
It really proved the saying that gold shines wherever it is.
He was truly incredibly awesome!
Fu Jian wondered, he himself didn't have this ability.
Unfamiliar with the place, he had to be cautious even with a mask, fearing that the strange people would detect his human identity beneath his disguise.
But Shen Bei had advanced to a height where not to mention humans, even the local strange people had to look up to him!
He couldn't help but admire him!
Ever since Fu Jian learned that Shen Bei had become a Night Watcher Team Leader, he had been thinking about how to contact Shen Bei.
He didn't rashly go to see Shen Bei.
Although Fu Jian hadn't yet made a name for himself in the Dungeon Imperial City, he wasn't stupid. He knew he had to keep their origin from the earth's surface a secret.
Even though Fu Jian had seen Shen Bei entering and exiting the Night Watcher Courtyard from a distance several times, he didn't rashly go up to him to acknowledge him.
So there couldn't be any display of camaraderie between them. Otherwise, following that lead might uncover something.
It was better to avoid trouble, so Fu Jian had been enduring. At the same time, he was constantly planning how to flawlessly get to know Shen Bei, and then let Shen Bei naturally give him a push, getting him a position to climb up.
But for a while, he couldn't think of a good, unforced method.
Feeling annoyed, he naturally came to Yushan Pavilion.
Men, if they don't engage in some romantic affairs, isn't life meaningless?
In a place of pleasure, if you don't stir up some jealousy, how can you prove you're a dashing young man?
It must be said, Fu Jian had money, but no status, while Shen Bei was the exact opposite, freeloading but with a high status, even chatting and laughing with Wei Wang.
So, Fu Jian walked around Yushan Pavilion and finally set his eyes on a young woman. This strange woman was petite and delicate; although beautiful, to be honest, she wasn't his type.
How to put it, after seeing so many yellow-skinned people, he felt that black people... were ultimately a bit lacking.
But that wasn't important; what was important was that the one embracing her was a young strange man in brocade clothes and a jade belt, who looked very rich and high-status.
So, Fu Jian pointed at the woman and said to the madam: "I want that woman!"
There's no one here allowed to be richer than me, Fu Jian! I, Fu Jian, have always been the center of attention in brothels!!!
