Yue Shan and the others at the scene found it somewhat strange. They had already braced for a confrontation, yet Bei Haisheng appeared to have no intention of starting a fight. Instead, he seemed about to thank Chen Yuan, the very man responsible for killing his son.

Truly strange to the extreme!

“Good, then thank you, Patrol Envoy Chen.”

Bei Haisheng said with a smile, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“No need for thanks. I’ve always enjoyed helping others!”

“Farewell, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future… hehe.” With a light chuckle, Bei Haisheng turned and walked away. The several Changle Gang members following him didn’t dare to object to anything and

hastily followed behind Bei Haisheng.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan watched him leave, thinking to himself:

“This old man is certainly no simple character!”

To be able to suppress the hatred of losing a son and even share laughter, such a person is very restrained and equally terrifying. Therefore, Chen Yuan not only didn’t let down his guard but grew even more wary of him.

He calculated in his heart that he must kill this old ghost one day!

Only then could he feel at ease.

Bei Haisheng walked to the door, glanced back with an ever more fierce look in his eyes.

Chen Yuan must be eliminated!

So young and yet so full of potential, his future achievements are immeasurable.

He doesn’t strike? Chen Yuan would likely take the initiative to attack…

“What a pity…”

Bei Haisheng sighed quietly. After looking around, he knew well enough that attacking a Heavenly Patrol Envoy in such a public setting would inevitably provoke retaliation from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

To act now would be unwise.

There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. He snorted coldly, flung his embroidered robe, and his face was a mask of ice.

The Changle Gang members conscientiously cleared a path for him to pass through.

“My Lord, shall we…”

Yang Feng looked at Chen Yuan, inquiring what to do next.

“The matter is settled now, let’s head back to the government office!”

Chen Yuan spoke softly.

Unknown to the crowd, a man dressed in a black robe, his face covered with a thick beard, was quietly watching everything from the rooftop of a nearby tall building.

No one noticed his figure.

But if he were recognized, it would certainly cause a stir.

For he was none other than Shi Yunlong, the Gang Leader of the Changle Gang, one of the Five Great Forces of Nanling Prefecture.

His power and influence were among the top ten in Nanling Prefecture, and his strength was unfathomable to Gang Condensing Martial Artists!

At the moment, his face was expressionless as he stared down at the situation, pondering something.

He had learned of Bei Haisheng’s mobilization of the Changle Gang members and had secretly followed him near Tingyu Pavilion to see the situation for himself.

If necessary, he would have even prevented Bei Haisheng from killing.

The Changle Gang was not in a position to fully antagonize the Heavenly Patrol Bureau at the moment.

The Azure Flood Dragon Association had already begun to encroach on the Changle Gang’s territory, and his current task was to rally other powers to resist the pressure from the Azure Flood Dragon Association.

Fortunately, Bei Haisheng had not lost his senses.

Even if he were to kill, it would be best not to do so in public.

Because that would force the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s hand, even if they were reluctant to act; upper and lower pressures would compel them to retaliate against the Changle Gang. Otherwise, how could they reassure their own people?

“Brother Yunlong, it has been a long time.”

A faint voice reached Shi Yunlong’s ears; he showed no surprise but responded quietly:

“Since Brother Qingyuan is here, why not show yourself?”

“If Brother Yunlong isn’t showing himself, why should I need to make an appearance?”

As the voice fell, a shadow flashed from a hundred meters away and instantly arrived next to Shi Yunlong — it was the Heavenly Patrol Green Envoy Tao Qingyuan!

Shi Yunlong glanced at him:

“Brother Qingyuan seems to take this Chen Yuan quite seriously, going so far as to provide personal protection.”

Tao Qingyuan smiled:

“The Heavenly Patrol Bureau doesn’t have many talented individuals. Chen Yuan is one of them, and if it were a fair contest of the same level, life and death aside, but if someone is bullying the weak, that wouldn’t do. If I don’t step in to help, others might think the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is made of paper.”

His tone carried a veiled threat, warning Shi Yunlong not to bully the weak, or else the Heavenly Patrol Bureau would surely intervene.

“It seems Brother Qingyuan’s injuries have healed.”

Shi Yunlong remarked as he surveyed him from head to toe.

“Such minor wounds, what do they count for?”

“Hehe…” Shi Yunlong chuckled twice.

“I’ve heard that the situation for Changle Gang has not been good recently, with the Azure Flood Dragon Association already nibbling at your territory. Brother Yunlong, planning a counterattack?”

Tao Qingyuan asked with interest.

“That’s none of Brother Qingyuan’s concern.”

“Haha, fair enough, since Brother Yunlong is reluctant to mention it, I won’t pry. But if you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to seek me out. The Heavenly Patrol Bureau will undoubtedly provide strong support.”

The Five Great Forces of Nanling Prefecture had long been at odds, and Tao Qingyuan would be more than happy to see them fight among themselves. After all, how else could he sow discord among them? Tao Qingyuan would be glad if Shi Yunlong accepted his offer.

“Then thank you, Green Envoy Tao. Now that the conflict has been settled, I too shall take my leave,” Shi Yunlong said with a light snort, turning to leave.

His figure leaped up, tumbling a few times before disappearing from Tao Qingyuan’s sight.

Tao Qingyuan watched Shi Yunlong’s figure vanishing, his eyes narrowing slightly, the corners of his mouth revealing an almost imperceptible smile.

…

…

After Bei Haisheng left, the day’s events quickly spread from West City throughout the entire city, stirring surprise and suspicion like a small storm.

If it had been anyone else, perhaps there wouldn’t have been such an uproar.

But it was not just anyone; both parties involved were high-profile figures.

Bei Le had dominated West City and South City for years, his name as a bully well-known throughout the city; everyone knew what kind of person he was. Meanwhile, Chen Yuan had only recently risen to prominence on the Hidden Dragon List.

Many people still have a deep impression of him, and as soon as he is mentioned, they know who he is.

That was why it caused quite a stir.

Bei Le’s death delighted countless people, who couldn’t resist clapping their hands in glee, and even improved their impression of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. The name Chen Yuan also began to shed the negative connotations of being simply an imperial lackey.

It was now also associated with punishing the wicked and upholding justice.

The fact that he dared to kill the son of the deputy leader of Changle Gang in broad daylight, rendering them powerless to retaliate, was enough to prove that Chen Yuan was no ordinary man.

Many people became curious about him as well.

West City, Shen Family.

Shen Yanshu, with a troubled look, silently held her long sword, not having left the Shen Residence since being oppressed by the Bei Family to avoid encountering the bastard Bei Le and, unable to help herself, castrating him.

But she also knew that just waiting was actually meaningless.

Fortunately, the man from last night promised to help her get rid of the nuisance that was Bei Le.

Although she did not know what he would do or if he could succeed.

But he really was her only hope now.

She was desperate to hear some good news.

However, the likelihood of that was not very high.

The power and strength of Bei Haisheng were not something ordinary people could compare with, and his Heavenly Gang Level cultivation was enough to make people despair.

Since that masked man coveted the Phoenix Marrow Energy so much, he must be intending to put all his effort into this matter…

Shen Yanshu sighed, shaking her head slightly.

“Miss, Miss.”

Suddenly, the voice of Xiaoyu shouting came from outside.

Instinctively, Shen Yanshu stood up and gripped the long sword in her hand, ready to go out.

But before she could step outside, Xiaoyu, with a face full of joy, rushed in, almost bumping into her.

“Why are you so flustered, what happened?”

There was a tense look on Shen Yanshu’s face.

“Miss…there’s…there’s a piece of great news.”

Xiaoyu leaned on the table, gasping for breath with an undeniable look of happiness on her face.

“What good news?”

Shen Yanshu quickly asked.

The moment the question left her lips, she even thought that maybe the man from last night had succeeded, but she quickly dismissed the thought; the Bei Family couldn’t be dealt with so easily.

“I heard news that Bei…the bastard Bei Le is dead.”

“Dead?”

Shen Yanshu was somewhat astonished.

That man really did it, he…he actually killed Bei Le!

“Yes, dead. They say his head was chopped off with one blow, right inside Tingyu Pavilion.”

“Who did it?”

She was eager to know who was behind the mask, but she also didn’t want to hear that the culprit had already fled because then the Shen Family would face unimaginable pressure.

Bei Haisheng would surely direct his hatred towards the Shen Family.

“It was the Heavenly Patrol Envoy Chen Yuan you mentioned before!”

Xiaoyu reported truthfully.

“Heavenly Patrol Envoy, Chen Yuan!”

Shen Yanshu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She had naturally heard of the name Chen Yuan before, not yet in his twenties and with a single battle killing several Gang Condensing Martial Artists, he rose to prominence on the Hidden Dragon List and made a name for himself in Nanling Prefecture,

Indeed, he was her goal.

She never would have guessed that the true identity of the masked man was actually him.

Xiaoyu looked at Shen Yanshu strangely, not understanding why she was so surprised, as if she couldn’t believe it. Could it be that the news of Bei Le’s death had shocked her too much?

It must be so.

“What about after, after Chen Yuan killed Bei Le, what was Bei Haisheng’s reaction? Did they fight?” Shen Yanshu asked with great concern.

She knew that Chen Yuan had only recently become a Heavenly Patrol Envoy and his strength should still be at the Qi Absorption Realm, not likely a match for Bei Haisheng if they clashed…

If unable to bear the pressure, he revealed her name…

The Shen Family would likely suffer a disaster.

“No, at that time…”

Xiaoyu explained the situation in detail, as if she had been present.

After listening, Shen Yanshu let out a sigh of relief; they hadn’t fought…Bei Haisheng had backed down.

He probably wouldn’t associate this with the Shen Family.

“Miss, you can finally take a breather.”

“Yes, indeed.”

…

…

Late at night.

Shen Yanshu sat alone in her room, the light of the candles reflecting on her calm face as if she was waiting for someone’s arrival.

Since the masked man had fulfilled his promise, he would probably come tonight to collect the payment, the ‘Phoenix Marrow Energy.’

She had no intention of resisting; Bei Haisheng had backed down, so there was even less she could do as a mere Foundation Establishment Martial Artist.

“Rustle rustle…”

Shen Yanshu suddenly looked up, her expression turning serious as she directed her gaze towards the door.

“Chen brother, is it you?”

“What, does Miss Shen not welcome me?”

A faint voice entered the room.

With a pursed smile, Shen Yanshu replied,

“Of course not, Brother Chen. Since you’ve come, I am naturally ‘overjoyed’ to welcome you.”
