Chapter 163 New magical power, calculation method
In the space of the Art of Life and Death, there is a pure white color that covers everything in front of you. Looking up, you can't see the end and you can't see into the distance.

Although the surrounding clutter is messy, when piled up in this space, it does not seem crowded. Instead, there is a breath of life.

Amber stayed in Shen Bai's arms, stretched lazily, and her right paw seemed to be blooming, which was very beautiful.

"I dare to ask Lord Shen for help and let Liu Wufeng marry me."

When these words came out of Valley Master Lin's mouth, Shen Bai was completely stunned.

He had expected the other party to put forward many conditions, but he never expected that they would put forward such a thing.

This is not a condition at all. In Shen Bai's opinion, this seems to be something that should have happened a long time ago.

Amber meowed, thinking that human thoughts were really hard to understand.

Is marriage really that important?

Aren’t they living together for a long time? Amber and her master have always been together and there is no talk of getting married.

It would be better to please the master more...

Thinking of this, Amber turned over and hugged Shen Bai's arm tighter.

This little female cat, who hasn't turned into a cat girl yet, just wants to close her eyes and go out to bask in the sun.

As for why the strange beast likes to bask in the sun, before it was a strange beast, it was a cat.

Cats love to bask in the sun, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Shen Bai touched Amber's back, thought for a moment, and said, "Master Liu once said that it was Valley Master Lin who felt that the Heavenly Supervisory Department was dangerous and asked him to give up his position there, which is why your marriage ended."

Not long ago, Liu Wufeng talked about this matter with Shen Bai, and Shen Bai was also aware of it.

According to Liu Wufeng, he really wanted to marry Valley Master Lin, but why did Valley Master Lin ask Shen Bai to persuade Liu Wufeng to marry her?

Shen Bai couldn't figure it out.

Valley Master Lin showed a trace of embarrassment on his face: "At the beginning, it was indeed my little woman's thoughts, but I was also doing it for his own good. Now, I know that what I did was wrong. A man must have his own career and ideals. Liu Wufeng has his ideals, and I..."

Shen Bai understood and said, "Valley Master Lin, are you too proud to let go?"

Valley Master Lin glanced to the side and said, "It wasn't entirely my fault back then."

Shen Bai's face was full of black lines.

Well, it has come to this, and you are still trying to save face.

A woman always has her reasons.

Needle in the sea, needle in the sea.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "This isn't a difficult matter. With me as the middleman, I can talk to Lord Liu about it in detail, and then it will be done."

Isn’t it just marrying Valley Master Lin? For Liu Wufeng, it is probably something he would love to do.

After all, when Shen Bai talked about this with Liu Wufeng, he could see Liu Wufeng's regret.

This is simple!
Valley Master Lin nodded and said, "If Lord Shen could help us, our previous conflicts could be easily resolved. I don't want my child to be without a father forever."

Shen Bai: "?"

Wait, he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

What does it mean that a child never has a father?

There's a lot of information here.

"You and Lord Liu have another son?" Shen Bai asked.

Valley Master Lin nodded and said, "Yes, Lin Yun is Liu Wufeng's son, but Liu Wufeng doesn't know this, and I have kept this a secret. After all, I wasn't the Valley Master back then, and he wasn't the Governor. If I had told anyone then, I'm afraid it would have backfired."

"Hiss..." Shen Bai took a breath of cold air.

He didn't expect that this trip would bring up these old events.

Lin Yun's surname is Lin, so if you calculate it this way, it seems to be true.

When Shen Bai thought about it, he felt that this was really possible.

"Then I will go back to the Tianjian Division first and talk about this matter in detail with Lord Liu." Shen Bai said.

Since the matter has been finalized and Valley Master Lin has also put forward the conditions, Shen Bai wants to get things done first.

Then, as Shen Bai waved his hand, a crack appeared and then expanded rapidly.

In just a moment, the crack spread to a height that one person could pass through.

Shen Bai and Valley Master Lin entered the crack together, and soon appeared in the Baicao Hall.

There was still no one in the Baicao Hall, except for Yu De's body, lying coldly on the ground.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first. Master Lin can wait here for my good news."

Since he had agreed, he had to go back first and get the matter done after he returned.

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Valley Master Lin raised his hand and asked Shen Bai not to leave yet.

Shen Bai looked at Valley Master Lin in confusion and asked, "What else?"

He thought that everything here was almost over. Bing Hai had been killed by him, and Yu De's conspiracy had been cracked by him. Now the only thing left was the matter between Valley Master Lin and Liu Wufeng.

The sooner you do it, the better.

Valley Master Lin thought for a moment and said, "Master Shen, please be patient and wait for me here for a moment."

Although Shen Bai didn't know what Valley Master Lin was planning, since it had come to this, he nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Valley Master Lin stood up, left the Baicao Hall, and walked towards a room next to the Baicao Hall.

Not long after, Valley Master Lin came out of the room with a wooden box and placed it in front of Shen Bai.

Shen Bai looked at the palm-sized wooden box, touched his chin, and asked, "What is this?"

He didn't open it, but asked first.

Valley Master Lin then said, "This is the divination artifact of our Hundred Doctors Valley. It was also the artifact that allowed the Hundred Doctors Valley to avoid disaster and seek good fortune. I will give it to Lord Shen first, so that Lord Shen doesn't have to run back and forth several times and waste his time."

Shen Bai didn't expect that Valley Master Lin would be so willing to give him the wooden box.

After a little thought, he opened the wooden box and a line of smoke immediately appeared in front of his eyes. As it curled up and fell, a line of text formed in the air.

【Thumb Bagua】

[Identification progress: 0%]

[A trace of evil spirit can be quickly identified]

Inside the wooden box lay a small Bagua, only the size of a thumb, which looked extremely delicate.

Although it is small, the lines on it are clearly visible.

Gossip contains everything, which is in line with the saying that a sparrow may be small but has all the organs.

Shen Bai asked curiously, "Master Lin, aren't you afraid that if this mission fails, you'll end up losing more soldiers while accompanying your wife?"

He really didn't expect that Valley Master Lin would be so straightforward, but he still said this.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Valley Master Lin shook his head and said, "Given Lord Shen's character, he would naturally not do such a thing. Moreover, even if the plan fails, this strange object has been given to Lord Shen."

Shen Bai said, "Didn't Valley Master Lin discuss a deal before? Why is he giving it to me now?"

Valley Master Lin shook his head and said, "It was my greed that got the better of me just now. As I was coming out, I figured it out. Lord Shen helped Hundred Doctors Valley survive this disaster, so this thing should belong to Lord Shen. Whether this thing succeeds or not, I won't care."

Women are fickle, and this statement is fully reflected in Master Lin.

Of course, this kind of fickleness is actually a good thing for Shen Bai.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll do my best to help you with this matter. Just wait for my news."

"Thank you, Lord Shen." said Valley Master Lin.

Shen Bai didn't stop and turned to leave the Baicao Hall in Baiyi Valley.

After leaving Baicao Hall, there is a lush valley.

Shen Bai stood there, thinking for a moment, and then without saying goodbye to Lin Yun and others, he quietly left and walked towards the Tianjian Division.

There is no need to go into details about the tedious matters. Once he has finished his work, he can go back and work on his proficiency.

As for Lin Yun, Valley Master Lin will naturally be there to explain.

Whether Lin Yun knew that he was Liu Wufeng's son was not Shen Bai's business. They naturally had their own solution.

At this moment, although it was late at night, under the bright moonlight, Shen Bai was walking at a fast pace.

Soon, it disappeared among the mountains and forests.

……

A two-story building of the Jiantiansi.

At this moment, Liu Wufeng was still looking at the latest memorials and arranging tomorrow's official business.

According to his daily routine, it would probably take another hour before he could rest.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Liu Wufeng's thoughts.

He looked up and saw Shen Bai walking into the two-story building with a strange smile on his face.

Liu Wufeng frowned and asked, "Why does your expression seem a little creepy to me? Did you get the strange object?"

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I've got the strange object, but I have a bigger task to attend to. By the way, I took the initiative and didn't give it to Valley Master Lin."

As he spoke, Shen Bai placed the beads Liu Wufeng had given him on the table and pushed them in front of Liu Wufeng.

Liu Wufeng was slightly stunned, frowned and said: "Why didn't you give it to her? I was going to give it to her in the first place."

Shen Bai said, "This is a token of love between Lord Liu and Valley Master Lin. Since it's a token of love, it would be best if Lord Liu gave it to her personally."

Liu Wufeng's frown deepened. "Give it to her in person? No, with her temper, I'm afraid she'll kick me out before I even step foot into the Hundred Doctors Valley. Not to mention accepting this token of love, it would be even more difficult."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "If you regard this as a token of love between you and Valley Master Lin, and also as a betrothal gift to marry Valley Master Lin, then you naturally need to deliver it in person."

Liu Wufeng's frown relaxed upon hearing this, but his face was filled with question marks: "Wait, what did you just say? Dowry? I don't seem to understand."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Valley Master Lin wants you to marry her. It's as simple as that. Marriage requires gifts and matchmaking documents. I've seen that Lord Liu is usually incorruptible, so this thing can just happen to be one of the gifts."

Liu Wufeng widened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and without caring about the things on the table, he quickly walked to Shen Bai and clenched his fists.

"What did you say? You want me to marry her? Is this true?"

Shen Bai nodded: "Of course it's authentic."

As he spoke, he explained what he had experienced in the Hundred Doctors Valley.

After Shen Bai finished telling what happened, Liu Wufeng stood there like a wooden sculpture, staring fixedly ahead, not moving at all.

Shen Bai knew that this was big news and Liu Wufeng would need some time, so he didn't say anything. Instead, he found a place to sit down and even poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

After a few breaths, Liu Wufeng finally recovered.

Shen Baiyan looked at Liu Wufeng, put down the teacup in his hand, and waited for Liu Wufeng to give him an answer.

No matter what, I have done everything I should do on this trip, and the content has been explained. How to do it specifically is Liu Wufeng's business.

I have done my best and just now I said a lot of good things to Valley Master Lin.

Liu Wufeng's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he began to pace back and forth in the room like a headless fly: "Okay, okay, I've been waiting for this day. I originally thought that she was angry with me, but I didn't expect that she also wanted me to marry her. This is all a misunderstanding."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Sometimes, a misunderstanding can keep a pair of lovers from meeting each other for the rest of their lives. But in my opinion, many misunderstandings can be explained, and everything can be explained."

In his previous life, Shen Bai had heard many stories.

Most of the time, it is because of a small misunderstanding that lovers end up being separated from each other.

In Shen Bai's opinion, these misunderstandings are sometimes just a matter of a single sentence, but whether this sentence can be said really depends on fate.

Now that the misunderstanding between Liu Wufeng and Valley Master Lin has been successfully resolved, the lovers will finally become a couple.

"What do you think I should prepare?"

Liu Wufeng asked, "Just one bead doesn't seem to be enough."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "I think those red tape and other formalities can be omitted. After all, Lord Liu and Valley Master Lin are old lovers. However, if we want to follow the etiquette, then a matchmaker and betrothal gifts are absolutely necessary, and it will take quite a bit of time."

Liu Wufeng waved his hand and said, "That doesn't matter. There are only a few times in life when you get married. This thing must be done with caution."

Shen Bai pondered and said, "There's nothing wrong with being cautious, but before that, Master Liu, there's one thing we have to resolve first."

Liu Wufeng asked curiously, "What else?"

He thought, isn't it just a matter of marriage? This is the most important thing to him.

He couldn't imagine anything more important than this.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment, then dropped a bombshell: "Lin Yun, the chief disciple of Baiyi Valley, seems to be Lord Liu's son. When Valley Master Lin and Lord Liu had their falling out, she was already pregnant. However, because she couldn't suppress her anger, she didn't tell Lord Liu about it until today."

Liu Wufeng was completely stunned.

He didn't know how many times he had this expression today, but he really couldn't control it now.

"What you meant just now was that I have a son?" Liu Wufeng said.

Shen Bai nodded and smiled, "That's right, congratulations, Master Liu, for continuing the Liu family's legacy."

Liu Wufeng is usually a calm person. After all, sitting in this position, he won't let others see his emotions.

But at this moment, he was completely out of control and started walking around in this two-story building, waving his hands.

Shen Bai understood Liu Wufeng's mood very well, but he also took into consideration the governor's identity, so he closed the door.

Before closing the door, he winked at several members of the Tianjian Division in the distance.

Those members of the Tianjian Division understood the situation very well and quickly left the two-story building.

Shen Bai leaned against the door, folded his arms, and watched Liu Wufeng dancing with great interest.

About half an incense stick of time passed before Liu Wufeng suppressed his excitement.

"Yes, Shen Bai, you are right. At this point, all the red tape is not important. I will first recognize this son, and then prepare for the marriage immediately. The sooner it happens, the better!" Liu Wufeng said.

No man can reject his own children, especially in the current situation. Liu Wufeng couldn't control himself when he thought about the descendants of the Liu family.

"Then Lord Liu, please handle this matter yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Shen Bai said.

This trip was not difficult for him.

He now plans to go back and identify this newly acquired divination artifact first, and then work on improving his proficiency in the Vajra Dharma Fist, bringing it to level six as soon as possible, which will also greatly improve his strength.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much for this." Liu Wufeng thanked him.

Shen Bai smiled and shook his hand, indicating that it was not necessary, and then left the two-story building.

At this moment, although it was already night, Shen Bai was very excited.

This time, it was his first time to actively search for a directional monster, and this search would also lay a foundation for his future.

If he could master the divination method to a high level, he would know if someone was secretly dealing with him just by calculating.

After calculating the result, Shen Bai could simply pick up his sword and kill the person behind the scenes, saving a lot of trouble in the process.

……

After returning home, Shen Bai placed the amber on the table and then lit the oil lamp on the table.

Under the dim light, the room was mottled, revealing a sense of tranquility.

The silence of the entire room formed a sharp contrast with Shen Bai's inner excitement at the moment.

Shen Bai took the wooden box out of his arms and opened it in the dim light.

Inside the wooden box, Thumb Bagua was lying, emitting a cold aura.

Shen Bai did not hesitate, and then his heart moved, and the evil spirit disappeared.

When the evil spirit disappeared, a line of smoke appeared before his eyes, floating in the air.

As the words moved, new characters were formed.

【Identification successful】

[Arithmetic Level 1 (Calculation +1): 0/100]

When the words appeared in front of him, the scenery around Shen Bai began to change.

A vague feeling appeared around the body.

There was a blurry feeling, as if someone had splashed a layer of ink on it, and I couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly.

This situation only lasted for a few breaths, and in an instant, it returned to normal.

When Shen Bai looked back, he was no longer in the room, but appeared on a wide plain.

On the plain, there are various stones half a person's height.

At this moment, these stones are placed in a special position, looking mysterious and full of mystery.

In the middle of the stone stood a shadow that was familiar to Shen Bai.

At this time, the phantom had his hands behind his back, and the breeze blew past, making him look extremely mysterious.

There was nothing around, nothing at all. Under Shen Bai's gaze, the shadow slowly raised his right hand.

There was nothing on the shadow's right hand.

But in fact, the phantom was not in a hurry. He began to pinch the other four fingers with his thumb, as if he was telling fortunes.

As the phantom continued to measure, a strand of golden thread emerged in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the silk thread slowly escaped in one direction.

After escaping, the silk thread disappeared without a trace, but both the phantom and Shen Bai had a mysterious feeling at this moment that there seemed to be something unusual in that direction.

Without hesitation, the shadow lowered his right hand, took a wrong step, and disappeared in a trace. The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding. When everything stopped, Shen Bai found himself in a deep valley.

In front, a strange creature, emitting a cold aura, was wandering in the valley.

The appearance of the phantom immediately attracted strange attention.

With a strange roar, it rushed towards the shadow.

The phantom waved his hand lightly, and a strong gust of wind burst out from between his sleeves, hitting the strange body.

In just a moment, the monster turned into smoke and disappeared.

After Shen Bai saw this strange disappearance, he immediately had an epiphany.

"This strange position was calculated by the phantom."

As this thought came to mind, everything around me began to dissipate.

In just a moment, Shen Bai returned to the room.

Before his eyes, the smoke turned into a large amount of information and entered Shen Bai's mind.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and absorbed all the information. Then he opened his eyes and an idea emerged in his mind.

"The method of measurement and calculation is known to the whole world."

"This magical power is indeed what I need." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Although arithmetic is only at level one and has only one attribute, measurement, this attribute is what Shen Bai most needs at the moment.

The so-called calculation means that you can calculate many things by using the power of arithmetic.

For example, if Shen Bai wants to calculate the enemy's position, as we have seen before, he can also use the magical power of arithmetic to calculate it, and he can also calculate other strange things.

For example, the whole story and the various reasons.

Of course, these must be within the range of the attributes of the arithmetic supernatural power.

If it exceeds the range of measurement +1, Shen Bai will not be able to calculate it.

It seems that the range of measurement +1 is very small, but currently this magical power is only at level one.

Shen Bai thought about it and decided not to do anything tonight and just cultivate this magical power to a qualitative change.

Having a new magical power is extremely exciting for a hardworking person, and Shen Bai is no exception.

He looked at Amber who was lying on the side playing, touched Amber's head and said, "Come in."

Amber was already familiar with Shen Bai's style. When Shen Bai touched its head, it already knew what to do.

After Shen Bai said this, it immediately changed into a ray of light and merged into Shen Bai's body.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "What should I calculate?"

Since it is the magical power of liver arithmetic, it is naturally related to measurement. Measurement naturally requires calculating something.

"Well, let me calculate my own marriage." Shen Bai made a decision immediately.

This was also a sudden idea that came to him. After all, he had just experienced what happened between Liu Wufeng and Valley Master Lin. He just wanted to do a simple calculation on a whim. If he could figure it out, it would be fine. If he couldn't, it would be considered as improving his proficiency in arithmetic.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai imitated the shadow, raised his right hand, and began to calculate carefully.

In front of Shen Bai's eyes, his proficiency began to increase at double the rate.

But when Shen Bai calculated, he found that his marriage was like a fog, with no edge at all.

"In other words, with my current arithmetic abilities, I have no idea where my marriage is headed."

Shen Bai immediately had the answer.

Although he couldn't figure out the specific direction, this was just a whim of his and he was not disappointed.

Tonight is very long, but Shen Bai feels that time is passing very quickly.

……

In the blink of an eye, the whole night passed.

When a ray of morning sunlight emerged and shone in front of Shen Bai, a line of smoke appeared in front of Shen Bai's eyes.

The smoke gradually condensed and eventually turned into a line of text, floating in the air.

【算术lv.2（测算+2，精度+2）：1000/1000】

In one night, Shen Bai had mastered the magical power of arithmetic to the top of the second level.

After reaching the top of the second level, you will need a wisp of evil energy to move up.

After Shen Bai killed the stubborn and strange creature, he gained eight strands of evil spirit. Adding the original two strands, there were originally ten strands in total.

But after identification, only nine strands were left.

These nine strands of evil spirits cannot be used for a second qualitative change.

Shen Bai simply made a qualitative change to arithmetic.

Thinking of this, one of the nine evil spirits disappeared.

When the evil spirit disappeared, the smoke dissipated with a bang, and then continued to twist in the air and turned into new words.

【卦术lv.3（测算+4，精度+4，吉凶+4）：0/5000】

When the smoke in front of him formed words, it meant that the number of hexagrams had reached the third level, and it also marked the first qualitative change.

And when the first qualitative change was completed, the smoke in front of him suddenly disappeared and entered Shen Bai's mind.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and absorbed the information.

The scenery around him disappeared again.

When all the scenery gradually became clear, Shen Bai discovered that the place he appeared this time was a busy city.

There were people coming and going all around, and the shadow had set up a stall on the busiest street.

"This time, I'm finally not alone." Shen Bai thought to himself.

The new scenes bring new feelings.

He didn't think much about it and observed carefully.

At this moment, when the phantom set up the stall, one after another, the people were wandering between the phantom's stalls.

The phantom didn't speak, and the people didn't speak either, but there was a mysterious feeling telling Shen Bai that every time the phantom made a calculation, it was calculating the good or bad fortune of every citizen.

With every calculation, Shen Bai's understanding became more and more clear, as if with every calculation of the phantom, he was also learning at an extremely fast speed.

From day to night, and then from night to day, for three whole days and three nights.

When the time came to the last night, everything in front of me turned into nothingness.

Shen Bai closed his eyes and was feeling every measurement of the phantom.

He felt like an old sorcerer who was immersed in arithmetic and could do it with ease.

After everything became blurry and then clear again, Shen Bai returned to his original residence.

"The hexagrams used in divination are used to seek good fortune and avoid disaster."

The smoke in front of me has completely disappeared.

Shen Bai opened his eyes and had completely mastered the magical power of divination.

Measurement + 4 refers to the range of measurement and the strength level of the person being measured.

The additional precision attribute at the end represents the degree of accuracy of the measurement.

The magical power of divination, including the method of fortune-telling, is sometimes wide-ranging and sometimes fails.

After making a mistake, it is likely to bring about a huge backlash.

The attribute of precision can improve the accuracy of Shen Bai's calculations when fortune-telling, and can also greatly reduce the chance of errors.

It is an excellent bonus for the magical power of hexagrams.

As for the good or bad luck that appeared at the end, it represented that Shen Bai had an astonishing level of accuracy in measuring good or bad luck.

"So if I set up a stall in Fenglin State now, I'm afraid the business will be very good." Shen Bai thought to himself.

If he no longer works as the Heaven Supervisor, or if he wants to retire when he reaches the top and wants to experience all kinds of life, then maybe it would be great to be an old charlatan.

Of course, this joking idea is just a joke.

At this moment, the sky had become bright. Liu Wufeng gave him a day off, so Shen Bai didn't have to report to the Tianjiansi.

After a little thought, Shen Bai decided to continue improving his proficiency in the Vajra Dharma Fist.

For Shen Bai, this is an offensive magical power, and also a bare-handed type of magical power.

In every previous battle, it played an immeasurable role.

Now, my proficiency is approaching 12000 points. I have also worked hard recently, so I am only a stone's throw away from level six.

Shen Bai's plan was to first train the Vajra Dharma Fist to level six.

"Let's eat first. After that, I'll come back to improve my proficiency."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai did not hesitate and went out with Amber and came to the stall he used to go to.

Qin Shuang is still studying, so only Shen Bai came here today.

When the stall owner saw Shen Bai, there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"Sir Shen, you haven't been here for a long time. I thought you were tired of the food at my stall." The shop owner smiled and brought Shen Bai's usual food and chatted with him casually.

"I've been busy lately, so I haven't been here. Boss, your food is still the same as usual and tastes great." Shen Bai said after taking two bites of the buns and drinking a mouthful of porridge.

"As long as Lord Shen likes it." The shop owner agreed and went about his business alone.

After eating breakfast, Shen Bai felt satisfied and took Amber back home.

"Come in, Amber." Shen Bai said.

Amber meowed and then drilled into Shen Bai's body.

Shen Bai stretched, looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, and started practicing Vajra Dharma Fist in this room.

Before his eyes, every punch of Shen Bai was filled with a holy Buddha light, but the aura around Shen Bai was like that of an angry Vajra, filled with murderous aura.

The Vajra Dharma Fist is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

【Vajra Dharma Fist+2+2+2】

The increase in proficiency brought Shen Bai a lot of pleasure, and he became more and more addicted to it.

……

Xuanjing City, the headquarters of the Tianjiansi.

As the headquarters of the entire Great Zhou National Supervisory Office, a large number of top masters gather here.

Even if you randomly pull one person out from here and put him in any city, he would be enough to sweep away everyone in that city.

At this moment, on the top floor of a nine-story building of the Tianjiansi in Xuanjing City, a man wearing the official uniform of the Tianjiansi put his hands on the fence and looked at the stars in the sky.

It was late at night, but the city of Xuanjing was still dimly lit.

There is no difference between day and night here. Even at night, the place is still brightly lit and bustling.

The man is already middle-aged, but he has an attractive aura.

He simply placed his hands on the fence, but even such a simple action made people feel that this person was extraordinary.

"The world is beautiful. How wonderful it would be if this prosperous scene could spread to every corner of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

The man thought to himself, "It's a pity that His Majesty is suffering from a chronic illness, and the various princes are ready to make a move. I wonder how long this prosperous era can last."

Next to him was a pot of wine. The middle-aged man picked up the pot, tilted his head back and took a sip.

Then, under the moonlight, he returned to the nine-story building.

He was the only one on this floor. Although it was spacious, it also felt somewhat deserted and desolate.

The middle-aged man came to the largest table, looked at a letter placed on it, took a sip of wine, sat on a chair, and opened the letter in front of him.

There was a line of text written on the letter.

The middle-aged man read it carefully.

"Shen Bai, the Great Zhou Kingdom is fortunate to receive such high praise. This is the highest-rated member of the internal examination that His Majesty has received since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

After reading it over and over again, the middle-aged man put down the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The wine next to it had a hint of fragrance.

Time passed slowly as the man was lost in thought.

After a while, the man recovered from his contemplative mood and tapped the table lightly.

Soon, footsteps were heard on the stairs.

A muscular man with a scar on his face stepped forward and said, "My name is Qian Wu, and I'm honored to meet you, Lord Yin."

Qian Wu bowed and then dropped his hands to his sides with a respectful look.

The middle-aged man in front of him was one of the most powerful people in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom and the chief of the Tianjiansi headquarters.

All those who work in the Heavenly Monitoring Department are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Seal Department.

The Indian Director General can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the country.

Chief Yin looked at Qian Wu, then pushed the letter over to him and said, "Take a closer look."

Qian Wu was confused, but he didn't show it and opened the letter.

When he saw the words on the memorial, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, this evaluation is really too high."

Even Qian Wu, the right-hand man of the Indian General Administration, was surprised when he saw this evaluation.

However, when Qian Wu turned to the next few pages, the surprise in his eyes gradually subsided.

"Just based on the four words 'adversity', it's not an exaggeration to say that this young man received such an evaluation," Qian Wu said.

Chief Yin nodded and said, "Indeed, it's not an exaggeration to receive such an evaluation, but how can we understand the Holy Spirit?"

During each internal examination, Emperor Shengwu would only issue an evaluation of each member.

The specific way to issue the awards is decided by the Indian General Administration.

The promulgated guidelines were also based on Emperor Shengwu's evaluation.

Now, suddenly encountering such a big evaluation, not to mention General Yin, even Qian Wu felt a headache.

After thinking for a long time, Qian Wu still couldn't come up with a specific method. He could only shake his head and said, "Master Yin, I can't think of it."

This matter involves some social etiquette.

If Qian Wu casually proposed a reward method and it was not appropriate, it would only make his old boss feel that he was not doing well.

If it was any other evaluation, it would be fine, but this young man named Shen Bai received such a high evaluation. Qian Wu would never dare to make a conclusion.

Chief Yin nodded and said, "Indeed, this is the most special situation we have encountered since the founding of the country. Not to mention you, even I am a bit troubled."

As he spoke, General Yin took out a cup from the side and poured a glass of wine for Qian Wu.

When Qian Wu saw the glass of wine, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes and he took it carefully.

Chief Yin said, "Drink slowly. The medicinal power of this wine is too strong. I'm afraid if you drink too fast, your meridians will be damaged."

Qian Wu nodded immediately and took small sips of the wine, as if what was in front of him was not fine wine, but poison.

But he cherished this poison so much that he would not even let a drop of the wine be spilled.

Mr. Yin is proficient in a certain martial art that emphasizes conquering others with force, and this wine is specially made to match his martial art.

It contains precious medicinal herbs, and this cup is enough to enhance and condense a large amount of Qi.

Every day, General Yin only drinks this one pot. If he drinks too much, even General Yin can't stand it.

Although it is specially made, it is also extremely precious to other practitioners.

On weekdays, Qian Wu hardly has a drink.

General Yin watched Qian Wu take small sips of his drink without saying a word. He just stared at the memorial on the table and fell into deep thought again.

About an incense stick of time passed before Qian Wu finished drinking the wine in the glass. He felt that the Qi in his body had become more condensed. Then he carefully placed the glass on the table and pushed it in front of General Yin.

Director Yin finally came to his senses, picked up a piece of white paper, picked up the brush and started writing on it.

Qian Wu didn't dare to disturb him. He just stood there with his hands hanging down, looking straight ahead.

During the writing process, General Yin was very serious. After a long time, he finished writing on the paper, folded it in half, and handed it to Qian Wu.

"This is the reward I give him. Take this piece of paper and go to the Fenglin State Tiansi in person."

Qian Wu was slightly stunned, but still nodded in agreement.

According to the rules, he naturally didn't need to bring the reward in person, but since General Yin said so, it was obvious that what was written on this piece of paper was extremely important.

Chief Yin smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about what's written on it?"

Qian Wu shook his head and said, "If Master Yin doesn't tell me, I won't read it either. Master Yin has said before that you shouldn't look at things, or you'll lose your eyes."

Chief Yin shook his head and said, "You are always so stick to the rules. Open it and I will show you."

After getting the promise, Qian Wu carefully opened the paper.

When he took a detailed look at the contents, his eyes widened.
