545: You've fallen into my hands.

Of course, if Fu Jian wanted to use Shen Bei's influence to show off, there was still a crucial step.

That was to acknowledge each other!

He had to make Shen Bei understand who he was.

After all, everyone was wearing an odd object mask, completely alien Faces.

Without this step, it's no exaggeration to say that Shen Bei might even find both himself and Young Master Li unlikable and, using his identity as a Night Watcher, give them a good beating.

After all, Night Watchers are responsible for maintaining public order.

They can manage anything.

Just as Fu Jian made his move and naturally hid behind Shen Bei,

Li Bing thought Fu Jian was trying to escape after provoking him, so he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Fu Jian show off and then try to run.

His True Qi erupted, condensing into a wind blade that shot directly towards Fu Jian.

But with Fu Jian hiding behind Shen Bei, this attack naturally rushed towards Shen Bei.

Seeing it about to land on Shen Bei, Shen Bei's True Qi erupted, and he directly swatted it away with a palm.

The wind blade was instantly dispersed, and then it swept towards the charging Li Bing.

"How dare you!" Li Bing roared in anger, not expecting someone to dare attack him.

"This Young Master will deal with you first, to make an example of you."

Li Bing's first-level Celestial Human Attraction True Qi completely erupted, and he transformed into a rampaging beast, charging directly towards Shen Bei.

If this kid didn't get out of the way, he would just knock him flying!

To his surprise, the other party didn't move aside; instead, his palm continued to strike towards him.

"Boom!"

The two True Qi collided, and Li Bing staggered back several steps, the floor beneath his feet cracking.

Shen Bei stood at a distance; although he didn't retreat, his arm felt a little numb.

He frowned. His Celestial Human Attraction was the Seven-Colored Divine Radiance, and his True Qi was extremely profound. He could swat away ordinary Martial Artists or Cultivators with one palm.

This person could actually block it. Although this guy was also an eighth-rank, it seemed the Cultivation Technique he practiced was very powerful.

However, Shen Bei didn't pay attention to Li Bing for now.

Instead, he looked at Fu Jian.

Shen Bei's gaze was naturally unfriendly, even filled with icy coldness: "Diverting trouble? So I'm a human shield, and you're in a hurry to die, is that it?"

How could Shen Bei not see that this alien in front of him was purely using him as a meat shield?

Damn it.

This cannot be tolerated!

An alien, daring to use him as a pawn, was simply courting death!

But unexpectedly, the alien in front of him grinned, his gums showing, and quietly replied, "Sorry, sorry. I'll treat you to a meal to calm your Qi. I heard there's a very good restaurant, a favorite of Cantonese people."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bei slowly raised his eyelids.

A fleeting glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Without needing to think much, Shen Bei knew who the alien in front of him was.

Good heavens!

Good heavens!

It's you!

The person sent down from above was too fast, wasn't he?

He didn't expect to meet him here!

With a decision made, Shen Bei's attitude suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Li Bing.

"You attacked me without reason; you owe me an explanation."

"You don't deserve it! Get lost!" As Prince Jing's Consort's younger brother, Li Bing didn't put Shen Bei in his eyes at all.

Although this person had some strength, the Imperial City wasn't just about strength; it was also about status!

He didn't think this young man blocking his way could have a significant status.

"If you talk like that, I'll have to have a good talk with you," Shen Bei said, narrowing his eyes at Li Bing.

Li Bing glanced at Fu Jian and said, "Kid, a good dog doesn't block the Dao. Do you know who you're offending?"

He was getting a bit impatient; he just wanted to give Fu Jian a good beating. Therefore, he walked forward and said, "I am an official of Prince Jing's, Prince Jing's Consort's brother. Now, if you help me deal with that kid behind you, then I won't bother with you!"

Shen Bei couldn't help but glance at Fu Jian.

His ability to cause trouble is quite strong; he managed to provoke a powerful noble. Where do you get your confidence in the Imperial City? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?

Although Shen Bei was puzzled, he looked at the approaching Li Bing. He smiled, then directly slapped Li Bing across the Face.

Shen Bei used the Seven Stars Steps this time, moving very quickly. Coupled with Li Bing's belief that Shen Bei would be intimidated after he revealed his identity, this sudden slap landed squarely on his Face.

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed in Yushan Pavilion, and everyone watching from the side was stunned.

Who was this young man? Li Bing had already revealed his identity, yet he still dared to slap him! To make a move now was no longer a personal grudge; it was like slapping Prince Jing's in the Face.

Li Bing was also stunned, looking at Shen Bei in disbelief. Where did this hothead come from, daring to be so arrogant after he announced his name?

"You... you're courting death!" The burning pain on his Face enraged Li Bing. His True Qi surged, and he was about to attack Shen Bei.

At this moment, he heard a sentence: "I just encountered an assassination attempt, and now you want to kill me. I have reason to suspect you are accomplices. I'd like to ask if Prince Jing's is also involved in targeting the Night Watchers."

This sentence made Li Bing's expression change, and his movement, which was about to strike, instantly stopped.

Could this person be a Night Watcher?

Getting involved with a Night Watcher was a bit troublesome. However, his status was not something a Night Watcher could compare to.

"A Night Watcher's identity won't protect you. You slapped me, so I'll break one of your legs." Li Bing originally wanted to kill Shen Bei, but he still had to give the Night Watchers some Face. He couldn't kill Shen Bei, but breaking his limbs was still possible.

"Your strength is probably not enough?" Shen Bei scoffed, executing the Seven Stars Steps again, quickly appearing before Li Bing, and slapping him across the Face once more.

The burning pain drove Li Bing mad: "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

So what if he was a Night Watcher? Prince Jing's wrath was not something an ordinary Night Watcher could handle.

Li Bing's True Qi erupted, and he unleashed a Dao technique. He was going to deal with Shen Bei at all costs.

But at this moment, he heard Shen Bei say, "Night Watcher Team Leader Shen Bei is here. I suspect you are connected to today's assassination attempt. Please come with me."

Li Bing's hand, which was about to strike Shen Bei, suddenly stopped. He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief?

What?!

Night Watcher Team Leader? The second-in-command?!

Yes!

An ordinary Night Watcher couldn't represent Prince Wei; the power of the Prince's mansion could completely suppress him. But the second-in-command of the Night Watchers was different.

Li Bing didn't doubt Shen Bei's words, because the news of an additional Night Watcher Team Leader had already spread throughout the Imperial City, and these scions had long been warned not to provoke him.

Li Bing wanted to cry. This was just a brothel; why were all these important figures showing up!

This Team Leader of the Night Watchers killed Hong Long; shouldn't he be worried about Hong Long's remnants coming after him? He should be hiding in the Night Watcher Courtyard, so why did he still have the mind to come out and visit a brothel? Wasn't he afraid of being killed?!

"Will you surrender, or continue to resist?" Shen Bei stared at Li Bing.

Li Bing shivered. He had been given a serious accusation; if he continued to resist, he would be treated as an attacker, with nowhere to appeal.

Li Bing quickly conceded, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I didn't know you were Team Leader, sir; otherwise, I would never have dared to attack you."

Fu Jian, behind Shen Bei, had a slight look of triumph on his Face.

As expected, my elder brother Shen Bei is amazing!

Look, just a few words, and Li Bing became completely submissive.

This is what it means to hold power, to have the world at your command.

The onlookers, at this moment, all had their eyes on Shen Bei. They also showed envy; the transcendent second-in-command of the Night Watchers, such a status meant even imperial relatives had to yield.

Those courtesans in the brothel, even more so, their beautiful eyes darted around, gazing at Shen Bei with watery eyes. They really wanted to serve such a young and promising lord well.

Shen Bei looked at Li Bing, originally still thinking about how to establish his own influence within the Night Watchers. Now... there was an opportunity.

After all, he was the Prince's Consort's younger brother. With this human shield, many things could be set in motion.

"Bind your hands and feet, and honestly explain whether you are an accomplice to those who attacked me today," Shen Bei calmly looked at Li Bing.

Li Bing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding, it really is..."

"Will you do it yourself, or shall I?"

Li Bing looked at Shen Bei's murderous expression, and he shivered, like a frost-bitten eggplant, he could only grit his teeth and bind himself.
