A person sacrifices himself to become a saint in a chaotic world of martial arts.

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Su Bai quietly arranged for Chief Constable Xing and his three constables to move to another den of iniquity—"Chunxiang Pavilion."

Although it differs from "Spring Breeze Pavilion" by only one character, the two places are completely different.

This place is the most luxurious haven in the southern part of the city, filled with the sounds of birdsong and the subtle fragrance of perfume, a place of intoxicating beauty.

Su Bai practically emptied his recent earnings and past savings to barely manage to put on this show, which can be described as a huge investment.

After drinking a few more cups of wine in the private room to liven things up, Xing Huai'an and several taxi drivers each took a carefully selected pretty lady into the prepared upper room, half-heartedly.

The sounds of silk and bamboo instruments filled the air, and the warm tents exuded fragrance.

As for Su Bai?

He certainly wouldn't stay here overnight.

Since the foundation of one's cultivation has not yet been broken, one must prioritize building a strong foundation. How can one destroy one's own great strength for a moment of pleasure?

He straightened his clothes, preparing to quietly leave this place of trouble and gentleness.

"Officer Su, please wait."

Just as I stepped into the magnificent front hall of Chunxiang Pavilion, a voice came from behind me.

Su Bai paused and turned around.

Then, Officer Chen appeared, smiling, but his eyes held a complex and unreadable expression.

"Chen Cha Tou?" Su Bai asked in a flat tone.

Chen Chatou took two steps forward, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and tried his best to make his voice sound sincere:

"Officer Su, in the past... I have offended you in many ways, and I hope you will forgive my foolishness. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to make it."

Why not take this opportunity to turn hostility into friendship? If Officer Su has any requests, please feel free to make them. As long as it is within my power, I will do my utmost to fulfill them!

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Su Bai's face, trying to discern some clues from her calm expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a smile that could almost be described as gentle.

He didn't believe it.

The fate of the Tiger Gang for offending him is still fresh in everyone's memory, their bodies barely cold and their blood still wet. How could Chief Chen not know this?

At this moment, they come to show weakness and beg for peace, their words sincere.

It would be strange if there were no ulterior motives behind it.

"Officer Chen, you flatter me." Su Bai's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear and audible.

"At that time, it was just a misunderstanding; we were young and hot-blooded, and each had our own stance."

Now that time has passed, it's all gone like smoke. There's no need for Chen Chatou to worry about it.

From now on, we will both serve as constables in the Southern Garrison. We should work together, be loyal to Lord Xing, and jointly protect the peace of this region. What is this talk of "demands"?

Chen Cha Tou was momentarily speechless, taken aback by his impeccable and high-sounding words. His smile froze, and a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

He paused, then forced a smile, his tone becoming even more "earnest":

"Officer Su, are you still blaming me? How about this, tomorrow I'll host a dinner at Chunfeng Tower, so the two of us can have a proper talk? I... am truly sincere in wanting to reconcile with Officer Su."

Su Bai looked at him, her smile unchanged, but her eyes were calm and still, like a deep pool.

"I appreciate Chief Chen's hospitality. Everyone is in high spirits today, so let's get some rest. As for tomorrow..." He paused for a moment, then said casually, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Tonight, Chief Chen, relax, eat well, drink well, and have fun."

Having said that, Su Bai gave Chen Chatou no further chance to pester him, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

The dark blue figure quickly blended into the deepening night and dim lights outside Chunxiang Tower, his steps steady and without the slightest pause.

Chen Chatou stood there, the smile slowly fading from his face.

Staring intently in the direction where Su Bai disappeared, his eyes were sinister, appearing particularly chilling under the dim lighting of the hall.

His hand, hidden in his sleeve, had unconsciously clenched into a fist.

......

After returning home, Su Bai stood quietly in the courtyard and carefully examined his current progress in martial arts.

Although he has quickly broken through the second level of the Golden Bell Cover technique, this is largely due to his original foundation in the second realm of martial arts.

If you want to reach the third level, it will take much longer.

As for the Meridian Penetrating Bone Needle, it has now reached a high level of mastery;

The Zhenyue Sword Technique is still at a minor level of mastery, and the Lieyang Force is also at a minor level of mastery.

"The third stage of the Golden Bell Shield cannot be rushed. It is better to focus on cultivating the Mountain-Suppressing Saber Technique first. If the saber technique is mastered, the combat power will be significantly improved. During this period, focus on the saber technique, while also cultivating the Golden Bell Shield. As for the Blazing Sun Force, just take a little time each day to nurture it."

Having made up his mind, his eyes narrowed.

Swah——

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning. Su Bai raised his sword in the darkening courtyard, his figure flashing and the wind of the blade cutting through the air.

Now that he's a taxi driver, things are different from before.

In the past, when working as a temporary servant, one had to be on duty every day and strictly abide by the rules;

After becoming a formal constable, he could occasionally take a break, but having just been promoted, he was only focused on working diligently and making a good impression.

Now, the position of a courier brings greater autonomy—they don't need to go on duty every day, but only need to take turns with three other couriers to patrol the town.

If you are diligent, you can go every day, but most of the time you can just sit quietly in the room.

The next day, Su Bai did not go to work and spent the entire day cultivating at home.

It wasn't until the sun was setting and dusk was approaching that he straightened his clothes and headed to Chunfeng Tower.

He wanted to see just how much Chen Cha Tou could offer.

Soon after, Su Bai, dressed in casual clothes, stepped into Chunfeng Tower.

The lights inside the building were just coming on, and the sounds of people were faint, with the aroma of food and wine floating in the air.

"Officer Su, you've arrived! I'll take you upstairs."

Chen Dongquan, who had been waiting downstairs, quickly approached him upon seeing him, forcing a smile that was somewhat stiff, with a hint of embarrassment in the curve of his lips. He was, after all, too young; even his act seemed strained.

"Okay, let's go." Su Bai replied indifferently and followed him upstairs to the second floor.

Inside the private room, Officer Chen was already waiting.

Upon seeing Su Bai enter, he immediately stood up, a warm smile plastered on his face, and went to greet him:

"It is truly an honor for this humble abode to have you grace us with your presence, Officer Su! Please, please come in!"

Su Bai nodded slightly, did not refuse, and sat down in the main seat without hesitation.

"Officer Su, from now on we'll be working together, so we should cooperate wholeheartedly and stand together through thick and thin... If there have been any misunderstandings in the past, let's clear them up today, from now on—"

As Chen Cha Tou spoke, he gestured to Chen Dongquan to pour the wine. Chen Dongquan quickly took the pot and filled both of their cups with wine.

"Officer Chen is right. It's good to clear up the misunderstanding." Su Bai picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Haha, Officer Su is indeed a young hero with a broad mind!" Officer Chen laughed heartily, then turned to Chen Dongquan, who was standing to the side, his tone suddenly becoming serious, "Dongquan! You should learn more from Officer Su in the future. You were indeed the one who handled that matter last time, so hurry up and apologize to Officer Su!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongquan immediately stood up and, as if he had practiced many times, skillfully held the cup with both hands: "In the past, Dongquan was ignorant, thank you for your magnanimity, Officer Su. I'll drink this cup in one gulp, please forgive me!" After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one go, his sleeves slightly damp.

Officer Chen spoke up at the opportune moment, his words earnest: "Officer Su, I am also partly to blame for Dong Quan's matter; it is my fault for neglecting his upbringing. Here is a small gift as a token of my appreciation; I hope Officer Su will accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, he gently placed an exquisitely carved wooden box on the table and slowly opened it.

The box was lined with dark silk, and its contents were unknown, only faintly glowing in the candlelight.
