549: Take this opportunity to step forward

Prince Wei had said that Shen Bei would be granted the authority to use the Ming Mirror, one of the Night Watcher's treasures.

Perfect.

The Night Watchers were going to investigate a murder, which, in a way, was a mission.

How could Shen Bei be left out of such an event?

As long as it was a mission, the settlement panel would definitely activate.

This was Shen Bei's long-standing path to becoming stronger.

Just as Shen Bei was on his way to Prince Wei's location,

the daily settlement panel popped up.

Yesterday, Shen Bei had fought against Lihua Sect and Huang Du, Hong Long's subordinates.

Their strength was so high that it was considered TI-tier since Shen Bei became a Martial Artist.

However, for Shen Bei, it was still a bit lacking.

He didn't even have to use his Yin Yang Reversal Fist.

【Yesterday's panel settlement is as follows:】

【You have completed the mission to eliminate Hong Long's remnants. Strength +20, Physique +20, Agility +20, Spirit +20. Flame Resistance +20%.】

Very good!

The reward data was excellent.

Most importantly, Flame Resistance also increased.

If he remembered correctly, after encountering a Cultivator who manipulated flames and engaging in a fight, he could completely immunize himself to flame damage.

Of course, the premise was that there had to be a mission.

While thinking.

Shen Bei arrived at the pavilion.

He happened to see Bi Kun and Le Ming, who had taken over Team Leader Meng Lin's position, also there. The two Team Leaders were reporting to Prince Wei, but they stopped talking when Shen Bei entered, and all looked at Shen Bei.

Le Ming saw Shen Bei and only felt that Shen Bei was full of vigor. But Bi Kun's eyes twitched, because of Celestial Human Attraction, even though Le Ming was an eighth-grade Cultivator, he couldn't see through Shen Bei's Realm, only feeling that he was in good condition.

But Bi Kun was a ninth-grade Cultivator; he could tell at a glance that Shen Bei had passed the ear decay.

It seems… he had only been at the Night Watcher for a few days, and he directly passed the ear decay?

This could no longer be described as a Prodigy. Was it because the Great Cultivator behind him had helped? Besides this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

Bi Kun took a deep look at Shen Bei. What was this guy's position in his Family? It felt as if the Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm who had never shown his face was like Shen Bei's follower; he thought too highly of him!

Killing Hong Long, helping him set up a trap to kill Hong Long's remnants, and then forcefully helping him pass the ear decay to improve his strength.

Was this the reason why the Prince treated him differently?

As Bi Kun was thinking about these things, he heard Prince Wei's amiable voice: "You're here. Don't just stand there. Come, Bi Kun, go get a chair for Shen Bei to sit on."

"…" Bi Kun couldn't help but look at Prince Wei resentfully. Was this still the Prince Wei he knew? He had always been serious in front of his subordinates; when had he ever been so amiable?

And, I have been your old subordinate for many years! To go get a chair for Shen Bei, Prince, have you ever cared about my feelings?!

Prince, you're not getting old and still having an illegitimate child at such an age, are you? Did Hong Long's inexplicable death pave the way for your illegitimate child?!

Bi Kun's thoughts were scattered, but he had no choice but to bring a chair.

"What brings you here?" Prince Wei asked.

"Prince, this humble subordinate came here to say that because of Hong Long's remnants a few days ago, I couldn't carry out my work in the Night Watcher. Now that the matter is basically settled, I can officially start working in the Night Watcher. This time I am also reporting to the Prince."

"Good!" Prince Wei nodded.

Shen Bei then said: "That day I said whichever Team Leader needed me, I would go there to help and learn. I see that people keep dying in Liu Lane, and it's not good to leave it hanging like this."

This sentence made Le Ming look sideways at Shen Bei. This was his jurisdiction. He looked at Shen Bei not because Shen Bei was reaching into his jurisdiction.

But he was surprised where this kid got the courage to dare to take on this case. They had spent a lot of manpower and resources but couldn't find any clues. Shen Bei taking over such a mess would only get him stuck in a quagmire.

Le Ming wished he could abandon this case, but his upright character wouldn't allow him to do such a thing, so he advised: "Team Leader Shen probably doesn't know the complexity of this case. I'll explain to you in detail…"

"I know! I have clues!"

"What do you know? We… What? You have clues?" Le Ming's eyes widened, looking at Shen Bei in disbelief.

Shen Bei nodded and said: "Yesterday, I had a little conflict with Li Bing of Prince Jing's and suspected they were from the Hong Long lineage, so I asked them to prove themselves. I didn't expect to get some news. I know who did those things in Liu Lane!"

Le Ming and Bi Kun exchanged glances. This kid was really lucky.

"Who did it?" Le Ming asked.

"Qiu Sect!" Shen Bei replied.

This sentence made Le Ming and Bi Kun's expressions change. Qiu Sect was not strong among the demons, but this Sect was very strange, and the Night Watchers had very little information about it.

"Are you sure it's Qiu Sect?" Le Ming asked.

Shen Bei said: "I can't be 100% sure, so I plan to lead a team to investigate and see if it is."

Prince Wei nodded, giving his approval, and the others couldn't say anything more.

Originally, a decorative Team Leader was going to step into the spotlight with this opportunity…

Shen Bei walked down from the pavilion, and the matter of Liu Lane naturally became his responsibility.

As he walked down, he saw Bi Tuo and a group of people still waiting for him in the distance. Shen Bei ordered: "Follow me!"

The group of Night Watchers looked at each other, especially Team Envoy Ren Chuan, who couldn't help but look sideways at Le Ming, who was walking down. He was under Le Ming's command.

"You go with Team Leader Shen, and follow all of Team Leader Shen's arrangements." Le Ming instructed Ren Chuan.

"Yes!" Although Ren Chuan was puzzled, he still bowed.

Shen Bei glanced at Ren Chuan and the other Night Watchers. Although he had established some prestige, they were still hesitant about his orders, as they were not his people.

But that didn't matter. From today onwards, the Night Watcher would have a new beginning.

…

Liu Lane, people were panicking!

The continuous deaths a few days ago had already caused panic, but seeing the Night Watchers appear, people thought it would be resolved quickly. But they didn't expect it to drag on for so long. Not only did the Night Watchers not resolve it, but this time, even more than ten people died.

So, in Liu Lane, many voices were directed at the Night Watchers.

"The Night Watchers are truly useless!"

"The Night Watchers protect the Royal City from the erosion of evil and heterodox ways, but now it's getting worse year by year."

"The proposals of some high-ranking officials in the court are correct; the Night Watchers should be abolished!"

"Exactly! Let the Royal Family handle it; they probably would have solved it long ago."

"…"

The public's resentment continued to accumulate. Although the Night Watchers were transcendent, when resentment came, they didn't care if you were transcendent or not.

Especially when they saw that the Team Leader this time was a young man, they became even more furious. They felt that the Night Watchers didn't take the deaths in Liu Lane seriously.

Some relatives of the deceased were even so angry that they cursed the Night Watchers for dereliction of duty, their spittle almost spraying onto the Night Watchers.
