Chapter 91: The Sword King Presents a Sword, and the Mission Comes

Although Shen Bai would have found a way to escape even if this group of people had not come, since they came, it was giving Shen Bai face.

Being in the underworld is not just about fighting and killing, and you have never seen anyone become a big boss by fighting and killing.

Human relationships and worldly wisdom are an integral part of the world of martial arts.

Wuhua smiled and said, "Donor Shen is busy today, so we won't disturb you. If you are free, you are welcome to come to Xuanxin Temple anytime."

Cheng Shuang and Lin Yun's eyes fell on Qin Shuang in the carriage, and they were slightly surprised when they saw the token on Qin Shuang's waist.

Supervisor Tiansi.

These three words emerged in the minds of several people.

"When you are free in the future, Shen Bai, you can come to the Five Immortals Sect anytime."

"Hundred Medical Valley welcomes Mr. Shen to come at any time to discuss medicine together."

The three of them were well aware of Qin Shuang's importance. Without saying much, they bowed and turned to leave.

Soon, the originally bustling streets became quiet.

Shen Bai turned around and looked at Qin Shuang, smiling: "It seems that you have the most powerful background."

Qin Shuang shrugged and said, "After joining the Tianjian Division, you will be Master Shen. You are more powerful than me."

"I was just about to rescue you because I was afraid you might be too murderous. Killing someone in Maple Forest State would have a negative impact. I didn't expect you to have already made plans here."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence."

Layout, does not exist.

Everything is managed by Shengyun County.

Shen Bai lowered the carriage curtain: "Continue."

The driver also became aware of the situation and didn't dare to say anything more, just waving his whip.

The carriage continued to move forward.

……

Maple Forest State.

Supervisor Tiansi.

"Master Shen, Miss Qin, I'm leaving first."

The driver said this with his back lowered, and hurriedly drove the carriage to Shengyun County.

Shen Bai watched the driver leave, then turned to look at the tall building.

On the quaint roof, the tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, revealing a quiet beauty.

The plaque above the door was inscribed with three large characters "Jiantiansi" in a flamboyant style.

On the pillars on both sides, there are two relief carvings of text.

On the right side it says: Monitor events from ancient times to the present.

On the left it says: Investigate the changes in the world.

In addition to its ancient and simple appearance, the entire building also has a unique aura of solemnity.

There were no people passing by on this street, so it seemed a bit deserted.

At the door, two members of the Tianjian Division, dressed in black, were guarding with solemn expressions.

The arrival of Shen Bai and the other man did not alarm the two members of the Tianjian Division. They just took a look and continued their guard work.

"Let's go."

Qin Shuang stretched, and there was an amazing curve above his waist.

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Does this count as joining the Heavenly Monitoring Division?"

Qin Shuang took Shen Bai's arm and said, "Go in and see the teacher, do a simple registration, and you'll be considered a member."

Shen Bai asked curiously, "Is it so careless?"

He believed that joining the Tianjian Division should at least follow some formal procedures.

Now, just meeting someone casually and then registering is a process that is too hasty.

Qin Shuang rolled his eyes. "The Tianjian Division has strong intelligence. They've already investigated your past thoroughly. The troubles after registration are the responsibility of the logistics department. We, the frontline staff, don't need to deal with these trivial matters."

The various departments of the Tianjiansi are already sufficiently detailed.

If front-end staff are asked to do complicated things in these processes, it will only cause more trouble.

Dedicated people to specific tasks may seem simple on the surface, but in fact, complicated processes have already been carried out before they arrive.

Including checking birth, deeds, and going back several generations.

Reporting after registration is also a logistical matter.

Shen Bai nodded.

"Let's go, hurry up and complete the formalities. We'll be colleagues from now on!"

After Qin Shuang finished explaining, she pulled Shen Bai in an unladylike manner and walked inside in a hurry.

……

After entering the door, there is a huge courtyard.

The yard is very spacious, and the ground is paved with tiles that are as neatly arranged as teeth.

In addition, there are various quaint green plants placed around.

Members of the Heavenly Monitoring Division, dressed in black, passed by from time to time, appearing to be in a hurry.

Qin Shuang led Shen Bai to the largest room and began to explain.

"The archive room is on the left. There are all kinds of information there, but you need a token from the Heavenly Supervisor to retrieve it."

"On the right is the resource room. You can get various medicinal pills every month. You can also find weapons there. They are all top-quality weapons. If they break, they can be replaced for free."

"That's the registration room. New members, as well as those who receive and complete various tasks, all need to register there."

"Also, if you don't have money to buy a house or don't want to rent, you can live in the houses there for free, but you need to share the house."

"And here..."

With Qin Shuang's introduction, Shen Bai gradually got to know the Tianjian Division.

Soon, Shen Bai, led by Qin Shuang, came to the largest room.

This is a small two-story building with the door downstairs open. Many black-clad members of the Tianjiansi are busy inside.

"This is the most important place, called the core room. If the archive room outside contains some unimportant information, this is the confidential information."

Qin Shuang explained, "Here, only by accepting extremely dangerous missions can you extract relevant intelligence. There is no extra information at all."

"Teacher is waiting for you on the second floor. I still need to report on this inspection of Shengyun County, so I won't take you upstairs."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I can go up by myself."

Qin Shuang didn't say much. He waved to Shen Bai, turned around and left, walking towards the registration room.

Shen Bai carried a long sword on his waist and walked into the core room.

When he walked in, he immediately noticed many eyes scanning him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“They are all masters.”

These gazes were much stronger than those of the Dark Envoys encountered in Shengyun County before, and there were many of them.

However, the owner of the gaze seemed to know Shen Bai's identity and had no hostility. After scanning him, they started to do their own things.

Shen Bai touched his chin and went up to the second floor along the stairs in the corner.

There were only about ten rooms on the second floor, and the door of the largest room was open.

Shen Bai saw a tall figure writing at a desk.

As if noticing Shen Bai's gaze, the tall figure raised his head.

"Shen Bai, please come in."

In the room, a tall middle-aged man looked directly at Shen Bai, but his eyes were extremely gentle.

The man had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very righteous.

His black hair was casually spread out, with some white hair mixed in.

He was wearing black clothes with faint golden patterns on them.

Just sitting there, I felt a sense of oppression.

Shen Bai thought for a moment, then walked into the room and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master Liu."

The man sitting opposite Shen Bai was the governor of the Tianjian Division and one of the most powerful people in the entire Fenglin State, Liu Wufeng.

Liu Wufeng smiled, pointed to the seat next to him, and said gently: "In my place, there is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette. I rose from the Jianghu and later joined the Tianjian Division. I don't like red tape."

Shen Bai came to his seat and sat down generously.

Liu Wufeng slowly stood up, walked to Shen Bai with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, sat down next to him, and poured Shen Bai a cup of tea: "I already know about the situation in Shengyun County. You are doing well."

Shen Bai picked up the tea and took a sip: "It was just a matter of convenience."

Liu Wufeng poured himself a cup as well: "The Five Heart Sect, the longevity of the locust tree, the deeds of County Magistrate Li, and the twelve envoys who dealt with the Shang Evil Gate."

"Each of these is enough to make you famous throughout Maple Forest State and make countless geniuses jealous. For you, it's just going with the flow. That's quite modest."

"Do you know why I invited you here, besides asking you to join the Heavenly Monitoring Division?"

Shen Bai put down the teacup, looked at the remaining mist on it, and shook his head: "I don't know."

Liu Wufeng looked at Shen Bai and said, "I admire you very much."

When Shen Bai heard this when he was about to refill his cup, he smiled and said, "Master Liu, why don't you tell the truth."

Liu Wufeng said seriously: "He achieved success at a young age but did not show off, he was ruthless but had principles, he was powerful but did not bully the weak, everything I said was true."

Shen Bai looked into Liu Wufeng's eyes and found that Liu Wufeng did not dodge at all, and couldn't help but take a breath.

He thought Liu Wufeng was joking, but judging from the tone, it seemed to be true.

"I just want to meet you. I will meet everyone who joins the Tianjian Division, but you are different."

Liu Wufeng said slowly: "I have a special collection quota, but I will only use it on you, Shen Bai, I hope you will continue to stick to your principles and not waver."

"Does being cruel and ruthless count?" Shen Bai said with a smile.

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "I look down on none of those so-called powerful geniuses. They are all pampered flowers. Following the rules is useless. Only people like you who fight back and rise to the top are in line with the principle of survival of the fittest." "Do you think that I asked you to come here for some conspiracy? You are wrong."

"The Tianjian Division has only one line: accepting missions and completing them. There will be no intrigue."

"I don't know about other places, but in Maple Forest State, intrigue and discord among colleagues are not tolerated."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I understand. I also like to keep things simple."

If it was really as Liu Wufeng said, Shen Bai didn't think it mattered.

Liu Wufeng asked, "There's no place to live in Fenglinzhou. Should I live in Jiantiansi or rent a house?"

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "Buy a house."

Liu Wufeng nodded and said, "That's right, you made a lot of money at the pawnshop in Shengyun County."

Shen Bai coughed and said, "Correction, it's business."

Liu Wufeng laughed and said, "Alright, we've already met. Go register and then claim the corresponding resources."

This meeting was indeed as Liu Wufeng said, there was no conspiracy or intrigue, it was just a simple meeting.

Shen Bai didn't say anything more. He turned around and said goodbye, then went to the registration room to start registering.

The person registering was a young woman with some charm, and she looked at Shen Bai with eyes full of teasing.

Shen Bai thought this was normal. After all, his blood and energy had become extremely powerful because of the Blood Sword Dance.

After completing the registration, Shen Bai received two sets of clothes and went to the resource room alone.

Both sets of clothes are the clothes of the Jiantiansi, plus a waist badge, which are all symbols of the Jiantiansi.

Shen Bai was not in a hurry to change it because his sword was really too old.

The Blood Sword Dance will become more and more powerful in the future, and Shen Bai urgently needs a handy weapon.

There was no young woman in the resource room, but a skinny old man who was dozing off at the table.

There aren't many people here. After all, apart from receiving monthly resources and salaries, there are also new members joining.

However, it takes a long time for new members to join, resulting in not much traffic here.

After Shen Bai stepped into it, he revealed a trace of solemnity: "As expected of the Tianjian Division, there are so many masters."

Although the skinny old man was dozing off, Shen Bai could feel that there was an aura from the old man that was as unfathomable as the abyss.

As soon as Shen Bai stepped in, it locked onto him like a poisonous snake.

But very quickly, this momentum disappeared.

The skinny old man stretched and said, "Here are the resources for this month. The weapons are inside. Choose one for yourself."

Three bottles of pills were placed on the table, each with a specific effect.

Qi and blood pills are used to replenish qi and blood, Qi gathering pills are used to assist in cultivation, and rejuvenation pills are used to treat injuries.

Shen Bai took a rough look and found that each bottle was enough for one month.

Not more, not less, just enough.

Shen Bai didn't say anything more, nodded, took the pill and prepared to walk inside.

At this moment, the skinny old man suddenly moved.

A long sword suddenly emerged from the skinny old man's hand and then stabbed straight towards Shen Bai.

The sword technique is simple and direct, without any falsehood or concealment, and is upright and righteous.

Shen Bai felt his hairs stand on end and a sense of danger came over him.

The long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and the blood-red sword energy covered it, colliding with the old man.

"Qiang!"

The crisp sound echoed throughout the resource room.

Shen Bai felt a burning sensation flowing along the sword.

He didn't hesitate. The blood-red sword energy split into two, two into four, and four into eight...

Soon, hundreds of sword energies filled the room, pointing directly at the skinny old man.

At this moment, the old man suddenly put away his sword.

Shen Bai's eyes showed confusion: "What do you mean?"

He is not a fool. Even if he is a skinny old man, he would not act rashly in the Tianjiansi.

The skinny old man threw the long sword in his hand over and said, "No need to take it. I'll give it to you."

Shen Bai subconsciously took it in his hand, his eyes lit up: "Good sword!"

There was a cold light flashing on the long sword, like ice.

This sword is of superior quality.

"The sword inside is not worthy of you. This sword has accompanied me in battles. If you carry it with you, it will not be lonely." The skinny old man yawned.

Shen Bai asked: "Why give it to me?"

The skinny old man laughed and said, "The entire Tianjian Division knows that I'm looking for a master for this sword. They all want it, but they're not qualified. I've heard about your story. A sword is used to kill, but it's also used with integrity. This blood-colored sword energy may look evil, but it's filled with righteousness and will not tarnish the sword's reputation."

Shen Bai continued: "What is the name of the sword?"

The skinny old man waved his hand and said, "A sword is a sword. I'm giving it to you. You can take it as you please."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I noticed that this sword was flashing with cold light, so I'll call it Xiaohan."

There was silence.

The skinny old man fell silent for a moment, then held out his hand: "Give it back to me, I won't give it to you anymore."

Shen Bai chuckled: "Senior, you're joking. How about calling me Hanyue?"

The skinny old man chuckled and said, "That's about right."

Shen Bai shook his head.

Although it was the first time they met, the skinny old man gave him a sword, and Shen Bai also sensed the kindness in it.

"May I ask your name, senior?" Shen Bai asked.

The skinny old man leaned over the table and yawned. "They all call me the Sword King of Maple Forest State. I almost forgot. My last name is Mu. You can just call me Old Mu."

Shen Bai said: "Thank you, Master Mu."

Mu Lao shook his head. "I've already said that they complement each other. You let the cold moon continue to bloom, and I give you the cold moon. It's not a gift, it's a transaction. But you're amazing, kid. The owner of the Tianjian Division is not an easy person to deal with. Don't be fooled by the woman in the registration room. She likes young people like you the most."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Beauty is not as important as strength."

Mu Lao waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I still need to sleep."

Shen Bai got the thing, and Mu Lao didn't want to talk anymore, so Shen Bai didn't stay long.

After leaving the resource room, Shen Bai went to his temporary residence and changed into Jian Tiansi's clothes.

There is a life-size bronze mirror in the room.

Shen Bai was wearing black clothes and standing in front of the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, Shen Bai, dressed in black, has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He is tall and has a cold moon hanging around his waist. He looks like he has an aura that keeps strangers away.

Shen Bai touched his chin: "I'm pretty good-looking."

After looking in the mirror, Shen Bai walked out of the room with the Tiansi sign hanging around his waist.

"It's time to go to the allocation department."

The most important thing when coming to Jiantiansi is the evil spirit, and Shen Bai certainly won't forget it.

After coming out of the room, Shen Bai went straight to the previous registration room.

The young woman in the registration room was still there. When she saw Shen Bai, she immediately threw him a coquettish glance.

Shen Bai pretended to cough, then walked closer: "I'll assign the departments."

The young woman propped her chin up with her hand, looking charming: "My name is Long Yan."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Long. I will assign the departments."

Long Yan rolled her eyes at Shen Bai and said, "What a boring little fellow! I've already assigned you to the Ding No. 23 Division."

The Tiantian Division is divided into four departments: A, B, C, and D, and each department is divided into many parts.

Those in the D grade are all Sizhou officials, with three in each department.

As for the twenty-third ministry, it was newly established, and its members were the younger generation who had just been promoted from various government offices.

Shen Bai agreed and turned to leave the registration room.

Long Yan looked at the long sword on Shen Bai's waist and said with a grin, "The old man thinks highly of this little fellow..."

……

Shen Bai didn't know what happened next, but he had already followed the signs and arrived at the location of Ding Twenty-Three Department.

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Bai looked around.

In the spacious room, there were two young men wearing the same uniform.

As Shen Bai stepped into the room, the two young men turned their eyes over.

"You're the new guy who's turned Shengyun County into a mess. Was you specially recruited by Lord Liu himself?"

The young man in the lead stepped forward and said, "My name is Huang Guang, and his name is Kong Fang."

Huang Guang was tall and had a long sword slung around his waist.

Kong Fang was slightly shorter and wore a pair of boxing gloves on his fists.

Shen Bai bowed and introduced himself: "We will work together in the future. Thank you for your care."

Huang Guang and Kong Fang waved their hands repeatedly.

Kong Fang's eyes lit up: "Brother Shen, tell us about Shengyun County. We are very curious."

Shen Bai thought about it and decided that since he would be working here in the future, it would be okay to talk about it to communicate the feelings.

He was about to speak when he heard footsteps.

A member of the Heavenly Monitoring Division, dressed in black, walked into the room, holding a scroll.

"Now that the newcomer has arrived, let's take on the first mission."
