Chapter 69: You Have to Understand the Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was the first time Zhou Shu had used the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form against enemies, and the result was astonishingly good.

One was a ninth-rank martial artist, and the other was a martial artist with cultivation close to the ninth rank. The two of them combined didn’t even have the strength to resist before they fainted.

If it was before Zhou Shu obtained the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, even though it wouldn’t take much effort to defeat the two of them, he would still need to make a move, right?

How could it be as easy as it was now?

“Superintendent Zhou, are you done?”

While Zhou Shu was thinking, he suddenly heard Cheng Yong’s shout from the other side of the wall.

Cheng Yong saw that Zhou Shu hadn’t returned for a long time and was worried, so he came out to look for him.

Zhou Shu glanced at the unconscious Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai, then at the alley.

This was a small alley behind the brothel. It was pitch black and didn’t look like a place where people often passed by.

Without thinking too much about it, Zhou Shu picked up the two of them and threw them into the corner of the wall. Then he went back over the wall.

Cheng Yong was calling out to the latrine when he saw Zhou Shu walk out from a nearby bush holding his pants.

“Superintendent Zhou, you—” Cheng Yong was stunned.

“I can’t hold my liquor. I’m getting a little dizzy.” Zhou Shu laughed. “Let’s go. Let’s continue.”

Back at the front hall, the performances on the stage were still ongoing. Zhou Shu was thinking about Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai, wondering when they would wake up.

Since he had already made his move, he didn’t plan on letting the two of them off. He had to think of a way…

He looked around, and his gaze landed on the stage.

Lieutenant Cheng, I will have to trouble you this time! Zhou Shu thought.

Whoosh! Zhou Shu raised the sign beside him.

This sign had been given to them when they entered. If they liked the woman on the platform, they could raise the sign.

If only one person raised the sign, the woman on the platform would belong to the person raising the card tonight.

If many people raised their signs, they would have to bid.

Seeing Zhou Shu raise the sign, Cheng Yong and the others didn’t know how they felt. Were they happy, or were their hearts aching?

They were the ones treating tonight. Since Superintendent Zhou had chosen a lady, it meant that he owed them a favor.

But the girls here weren’t cheap. One night would probably cost them a month’s salary…

It’s worth it to spend this bit of money to befriend a future Forging Master, Cheng Yong comforted himself.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the red-clothed woman who had been playing the zither and singing slowly walked up to Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu grabbed the woman in red’s shoulder and said to Cheng Yong and the others, “Lieutenant Cheng, please excuse me.”

The red-clothed woman blushed, but she didn’t stop Zhou Shu. “Young Master, please follow me.”

“Superintendent Zhou, do as you please. You must enjoy to your heart’s content,” Cheng Yong and the others said from behind Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his head.

As he followed the woman in red through several corridors, the sound of the stringed instruments in the front hall gradually became barely noticeable.

The woman in red opened a door and invited Zhou Shu in.

As he stepped through the door, a fragrance wafted over. This room belonged to the lady in red.

The room was elegantly decorated. If one didn’t know, they would think that this was the boudoir of the young lady of a wealthy family.

But in a certain sense, these brothel girls, be it their talents or looks, were not much inferior to those rich ladies.

For the woman in red in front of Zhou Shu, if she was on Earth, she would definitely be a celebrity.

“Let me serve you, Young Master,” The woman in red whispered as she walked to Zhou Shu’s side, her beautiful face red. This young master is really handsome!

“Excuse me,” Zhou Shu whispered.

The woman in red was stunned, not understanding what Zhou Shu meant. Could it be that this young master has other hobbies?

Being in a brothel, she had seen all kinds of situations.

Just as she thought this, she suddenly felt her mind shake, and then she fell unconscious.

Zhou Shu took a step forward and supported her.

Her skin was smooth and soft to the touch, and there was a sweet fragrance to it. Zhou Shu couldn’t help pinching her slightly. Very elastic…

He slapped himself in his head and carried the lady to the bed. After thinking for a while, he took off her clothes.

With great willpower, he pulled the blanket over her fair body. If he took another look, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and do something…

He went to the window and listened for a while. After making sure that there was no one outside, he opened the window, climbed out, and closed the window from the outside.

The Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form not only strengthened his spirit, but it was also an offensive technique.

Previously, when Zhou Shu had used the Five Mountains’ True Form to attack Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai, the two of them had been unable to withstand it, let alone an ordinary brothel girl.

Even though Zhou Shu had already restrained most of his power, this impact was enough to make the brothel girl faint for an entire night.

He could use this time to do something.

In the darkness, a figure leaped over the high wall of the brothel’s backyard like a ghost.

Although Zhou Shu didn’t know any lightness techniques, his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and Golden Bell Shield Technique were not weak. His physical body was strong, and his true qi was vigorous. With his full strength, his speed was so fast that even sixth or seventh-rank martial artists couldn’t compare to him.

Back in the small alley, Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai were still lying in the corner. It seemed that no one had passed by during this period of time.

A cold light flashed in Zhou Shu’s eyes. Since these two wanted to plot against me, then they can’t blame me for returning the favor!

He held the two of them in his hands as if he was carrying two sacks. He jumped and directly entered the backyard of the brothel.

His figure flickered. A moment later, Zhou Shu brought Xiao Zongshui and Zhen Cai to the firewood shed.

This was the spot that Zhou Shu had found earlier. This woodshed was located in a remote area, very far from the front hall of the brothel, and no one lived nearby.

It was late at night. As long as they didn’t make too much noise, no one would come here!

After throwing the two of them to the ground, Zhou Shu closed the door of the woodshed.

Looking at Xiao Zongshui, Zhou Shu visualized the Five Mountains’ True Form in his consciousness and slammed it toward him.

Xiao Zongshui’s body trembled, and his expression became incomparably terrified. The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath. His clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just crawled out of water.

“You…”

When Xiao Zongshui saw Zhou Shu, he was just about to say something when a hand suddenly grabbed his neck, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

“Superintendent Xiao, long time no see.” Zhou Shu grinned.

Xiao Zongshui cursed inwardly. Damn it, didn’t we just meet two hours ago!

He was extremely terrified. What just happened?

Why am I here?

Also, what’s going on with Zhou Shu?

Why does he have such power?

Xiao Zongshui wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, he was a very smart person. Being a workshop superintendent wasn’t a simple job. Those who did well as a superintendent were all quick-witted.

Although he didn’t understand what had happened, it didn’t stop him from immediately understanding his situation.

He patted Zhou Shu’s arm with all his might, indicating that he wouldn’t yell and telling Zhou Shu to let go.

Zhou Shu looked into his eyes and slowly relaxed his grip.

Xiao Zongshui didn’t shout, as he promised. He took a few deep breaths before saying, “Superintendent Zhou, is there a misunderstanding between us? What do you mean by this?”

“Xiao Zongshui, you’re a smart person. There’s no need for us to beat around the bush.” Zhou Shu looked at Xiao Zongshui and smiled coldly. “I’m very curious now. Why does Grand Craftsman Zhu insist on taking me as his disciple?”

“Grandmaster Zhu just took a fancy to your talent and didn’t want you to be buried…” Xiao Zongshui said.

“Superintendent Xiao, that’s not interesting at all,” Zhou Shu coldly interrupted him. “Do you think I’m an idiot? If you don’t even believe it yourself, then don’t say it out loud and embarrass yourself.”

“Superintendent Zhou, I’m telling the truth,” Xiao Zongshui said bitterly. “How could I possibly know what Grandmaster Zhu is thinking?

“This really has nothing to do with me—”

“Is that so? Didn’t you come here on Grand Craftsman Zhu’s orders to convince me? Didn’t you plan to kidnap me and then talk some sense into me?” Zhou Shu sneered. “Superintendent Xiao, do you want to hear me reason with you?”

A light flashed in Zhou Shu’s eyes. Xiao Zongshui immediately felt a wave of pressure wash over him. He was greatly shocked. Is Zhou Shu a martial arts expert?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zongshui had a bad feeling.

Before he could think further, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

It was Zhou Shu’s palm that had landed on his shoulder. The powerful force made him feel as if his shoulder was about to be crushed.

“Superintendent Xiao, I don’t have much patience, nor do I know any interrogation techniques,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “If you don’t want to suffer more, then you’d better speak the truth!”

“I’m telling the truth,” Xiao Zongshui said painfully through clenched teeth.

“That’s all I know! Superintendent Zhou, becoming Grandmaster Zhu’s disciple is absolutely beneficial to you without any harm! If you become the disciple of a Grand Craftsman, even nobles will treat you as an honored guest. You will have a much higher status than just being a workshop superintendent!

“On the contrary, if you offend a Grand Craftsman, it will be difficult for you to make any progress in the future even if the grand minister is on your side!”

“You’re already in this state, yet you still want to help Grand Craftsman Zhu persuade me?” Zhou Shu said. “I really do admire you. In order to curry favor with him, you really don’t even care about your own life?”

“Superintendent Zhou, this matter is really a misunderstanding,” Xiao Zongshui hurriedly said. “We really don’t have any ill intention toward you. Go out and ask around. How many Forging Masters want to become Grandmaster Zhu’s disciple but can’t? You should be thankful that Grandmaster Zhu took a liking to you!”

“You don’t seem to understand the situation.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I have to do whatever the Grand Craftsman wants me to do? I’ll ask you one last time. Why is Zhu Chuanfeng willing to do so much to take me as his disciple?!”

“I’ve already said what I needed to say. Superintendent Zhou, this is your chance!” Xiao Zongshui shouted.

Zhou Shu sneered as five towering mountain peaks appeared in his eyes.. Xiao Zongshui’s expression froze as his pupils suddenly dilated.
