If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 169 Will you cooperate with me in drinking?

Within the space of the Art of Life and Death, there is a vast white world with no end in sight.

The white world is full of loneliness and solitude, making people in it feel a bit desolate and sad.

Apart from some piles of miscellaneous items, at this moment only Shen Bai and Amber were communicating with each other.

Shen Bai sat on the ground, while Amber sat in Shen Bai's arms, hugging Shen Bai's waist and rubbing Shen Bai's chest, talking about the gains of this evolution.

"I can provide the master with a triple combat power bonus."

Amber raised her little face, a hint of excitement in her eyes, and a hint of pride in her emerald eyes, as if she was waiting for Shen Bai's praise.

Shen Bai was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this evolution would bring him a bonus in combat power.

He thought about it, rubbed Amber's furry ears, and felt that the touch was wonderful.

After Amber complained for a while, Shen Bai said this.

"You merge into my body and see what the results are."

Amber nodded slightly, then hugged Shen Bai even tighter with her hands.

The next moment, amber was like ice meeting fire, and instantly melted into Shen Bai's body.

Shen Bai felt a powerful force coming. It was indeed as Amber said. He now had a triple combat power bonus.

"Since I have a triple combat power bonus, my proficiency should also be good." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try, and then he circulated the Qi in his body and cast a mind-confusing spell.

After Shen Bai cast the Heart-Confusing Spell, a line of smoke immediately appeared before his eyes, and as it curled and moved, it formed new words.

[Heart-disturbing curse +3+3+3...]

Looking at the line of text in front of him, Shen Bai immediately widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

As he expected, after the amber was integrated into his body, his combat power was tripled, and the proficiency bonus was also tripled.

This time, the combination of these two things alone will result in a huge increase in combat power.

Not only that, after Amber evolved, she possessed powerful combat power herself. Even if she did not merge with him, she could still be invincible at the same level.

It's just that facing adversity is quite difficult.

Of course, all this is nothing to Shen Bai.

Because Shen Bai will not rely on amber to fight alone, what is more important is the combat power and triple proficiency bonus gained after it is integrated into his body.

Not long ago, Qian Wu once said that Shen Bai could fight on par with those in the Huaxu realm, and could even rely on his overall strength to wipe out those who relied on their age to reach the Huaxu realm.

And now, Shen Bai has the triple combat power bonus of Amber, so he probably has no pressure against those ordinary masters in the Void Transformation Realm.

"With this, I now have a foothold in Nanxing Prefecture." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Then, something moved in his heart.

Amber transformed into a beam of light and sat in his arms again.

"Apart from these, are there any other benefits of evolution?" Shen Bai saw that Amber seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it was obvious that she had not finished speaking.

So Shen Bai was very curious about what new tricks would come next.

Amber pursed her rosy lips, rubbed her forehead against Shen Bai's chest, and then continued: "Also, I can now communicate freely with my master. Communicating with language can bring many conveniences."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Indeed."

In the past, when Amber was just a cat, it was quite inconvenient to communicate with her.

After all, most of the time, the way of communication relies only on a tacit understanding between the two parties, and many complex situations cannot be communicated.

Now Amber can speak and communicate with him through language, which will be more convenient when encountering any complicated situations in the future.

At first glance, it seems that this has no combat power blessing, but for Shen Bai, this non-combat power blessing is also quite good.

"What else?" Shen Bai continued to ask.

Since amber has already broken through the second evolution, we must figure out the function of amber at one time so that it will be easier to use in the future.

Amber withdrew her left hand and gently rubbed her chin with her index finger.

He was originally trying to imitate Shen Bai's movements, but he did it in a weird way, which looked quite funny.

If Amber wasn't so sweet and cute, she might look not only funny but also a bit greasy.

Fortunately, all this will not be revealed on Amber.

After thinking for a while, Amber's emerald eyes became brighter and brighter, and then she revealed her last ability.

"Now, my range of sensing strangeness has expanded. Not only can I sense strangeness and strange things, I can even sense the hidden aura of humans. As long as that human is hostile to the master, I can sense it."

"Of course, if it's hidden too deep, it still won't be detectable."

When Shen Bai heard this, the joy on his face grew more and more.

This ability is also more useful.

In the past, Shen Bai did lack some means in this regard. After all, he did not have the supernatural powers in this area, and if he wanted to search for it alone, it would actually take a huge amount of time and cost.

After all, it took a lot of time to search for the divination technique alone.

Now that Amber has this ability, it can be said that she has eliminated another shortcoming of Shen Bai.

If someone is hiding in the dark and spying, Amber will be able to find it.

Of course, all of this is based on Amber's level of perception. If the other party's level is much higher, it still cannot be done.

However, it is also an advantage for Shen Bai. It can be used as a transition. If he finds a strange creature related to the perception type in the future, he can completely replace Amber's ability.

All three abilities have been strengthened, and Amber has undergone a major renovation in this evolution.

The most important thing is that Amber has now really become a cat-eared girl.

Shen Bai thought that in addition to the weird objects and strange things, he even wanted to get some more strange beads for Amber to use.

If you can continue to evolve and gain more abilities, it will be of great help in improving your own strength.

Of course, things like the Transformation Bead are even rarer than strange objects. Shen Bai was just thinking about it and didn't concentrate on it.

Thinking of this, he touched Amber's ear and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

A crack appeared ahead, gradually widening to a size where one person could pass through.

Shen Bai and Amber stood up, but before he took two steps, he felt Amber holding his left hand.

A warm feeling came over her, Amber raised her head, and looked at Shen Bai with her emerald eyes.

This look is very much like the way a kitten looks at its owner.

Of course, some rebellious kittens are excluded.

Shen Bai smiled, rubbed Amber's ears again, and then took Amber into the crack.

Soon, there was no one left in this white space.

As the crack closed, a feeling of cold and dead silence once again emerged in the white space.

……

In the office space on the top floor of the five-story building of the Jiantian Division, Wu Tian, ​​the owner of the registration room, was checking around with a folder in his hand.

He felt a little puzzled. Lord Shen was clearly in the room, but when he came over, he disappeared.

This time, he has completed part of the task assigned by Lord Shen and is preparing to hand it over to Lord Shen for review.

But now there is no trace of Shen Bai.

The Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division was clearly guarded, and no one saw Lord Shen leave. Wu Tian felt even more strange.

But he did not leave the room. He just stood there quietly, holding the letter in his hand, waiting.

He suspected that Lord Shen would be back soon, so he decided to wait a little longer.

If he still didn't get the letter after waiting for another half hour, he would put the letter on the table, leave first and do his own thing.

Just after Wu Tian waited for a long time, something unusual finally occurred.

Suddenly, a crack appeared next to the huge table in front.

The crack appeared so suddenly that even Wu Tian didn't react.

When the crack appeared, it gradually expanded and soon became large enough for one person to pass through.

From the crack, Shen Bai and Amber walked out hand in hand.

Amber was still wearing the same white dress, looking lively and elf-like, yet also otherworldly.

When Wu Tian saw Amber, he was stunned. He then thought in amazement, "So it really is a strange beast, and it seems to have evolved into a human-like form. It seems that the rumors in the martial arts world that Lord Shen has a unique fortune and has been favored by strange beasts are indeed true."

Shen Bai also saw Wu Tian, ​​and then found a place to sit down.

Amber walked behind Shen Bai, put her arms around Shen Bai's neck, and rubbed it gently with her face.

These are some of her habits from when she was a cat, so she can't change them in a short time.

But now it was time to get down to business, so Shen Bai could only pull Amber's ears and let Amber sit aside.

"Don't make a scene."

Amber's face was full of grievance, but this was her master's order, so she could only obey and sat back in her seat silently.

After Amber returned to her seat, Shen Bai turned his gaze to Wu Tian and asked, "Why did you come to see me so soon? Did you find out what I asked you to do?"

He was just about to come back and take a look at the distribution of power in Nanxing Prefecture so that he would have a clear idea of ​​the situation. However, he never expected that Wu Tian would come to him again, so he asked this question.

Wu Tian nodded and said, "Sir Shen, all the recent incidents have been settled just now."

Shen Bai didn't expect that the people from the Tianjiansi would act so decisively, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.

Because before he came, Nanxing Prefecture was leaderless and everyone was afraid of taking responsibility, so everyone lived a very depressed life.

After Shen Bai arrived, everyone had a backbone and naturally did things without any scruples.

A mere thirty unusual incidents was a piece of cake.

Shen Bai nodded, picked up the folder on the table, opened it, and asked, "What is this?"

Wu Tian explained, "These are some unusual circumstances within the Gao family, and they're likely related to the previous Director of the Si Mansion. I've seen them before, so I wrote them down. It's just that the previous Director didn't know about them. If he knew, I'd probably be in danger of losing my life."

"Oh?"

Shen Bai was quite interested. After all, the Gao family actually dared to attack him. They were so bold.

There must be more serious consequences waiting for them, so they chose the lighter one after weighing the pros and cons.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai began to carefully read this memorial.

When he finished reading it, he had an idea in his mind.

"It's really a gang with collusion of interests. In addition to the Gao family, there are dozens of families that have connections with the previous director of the Si Mansion." Shen Bai touched his chin.

"Leave no one of the families above alive. Imprison them all. If you encounter any resistance, execute them on the spot."

What was written on the memorial was that the Gao family was colluding with several other family forces and the previous head of the Sifu Mansion.

This included various bribes, which allowed these families to prosper in Nanxing Prefecture.

Here, Shen Bai finally understood why the Gao family would risk the wrath of the world and dare to attack the director of the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division.

The reason is simple, because the collusion of interests involves a huge amount.

Once discovered, no one from these more than ten families will be able to escape, and the lightest punishment will be the death penalty.

Not only did they rely on the previous director of the Ministry of Personnel to plunder the people's wealth, they even colluded with evil forces to gain huge benefits from it.

For example, the Gao family.

Before this, the Gao family actually did not have much power. It was only because of the protection of the previous head of the Si Mansion that they developed to such a level.

Wu Tian asked, "Master Shen, if we capture them all, what will we do with them?"

Now, all actions of the Tianjiansi, as long as they are for the safety of the people, do not need to be reported to him.

But the incident that happened now is indeed related to Shen Bai. Wu Tian feels that he should at least inform Shen Bai and let Shen Bai know about this matter.

If Shen Bai had other ideas, he could also act according to this idea.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a trembling sound.

The whole room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of Shen Bai tapping on the table ringing out.

After a moment, Shen Bai retracted his action, looked at Wu Tian, ​​and said lightly.

"Simply investigate what happened and see if there are any other clues. If we can find any clues to the evil forces, we will consider it as meritorious service and reduce their sentences. If it is not effective at all, the punishment will remain the same. Those who deserve to be beheaded will all be beheaded."

Nanxing Prefecture has not had a chief minister in charge for a long time. It can be said that in many places, it has become extremely corrupt. Therefore, Shen Bai feels that at this time, drastic measures must be taken without any hesitation.

If the means are soft, others will think that the Tianshi Supervisor is still the same as before.

Only by making this fire burn more and more vigorously can the majesty of the Heavenly Supervisor be re-established.

Wu Tian nodded and said, "In that case, I will immediately post the task at the registration office and order my men to carry it out."

After receiving the order, he did not plan to stay here for long and immediately prepared to act according to Shen Bai's requirements.

Shen Bai nodded: "In that case, you go first."

Afterwards, Wu Tian said nothing more, said goodbye, and turned to leave the room on the fifth floor.

Shen Bai picked up the intelligence about Nanxing Prefecture's power and began to read it again.

It took half an hour to look at it.

After Shen Bai finished reading the last page, he put the letter aside and had an idea in his mind.

"There are over a thousand forces, hundreds of which are demonic. It's unclear whether the remaining forces have already cooperated with these demonic forces."

"It seems that the absence of the Director of the Si Mansion has given them a lot of time to develop, which is not going to be easy."

Shen Bai was thinking in his heart.

Amber next to him could no longer sit still. She rolled her eyes and then came to Shen Bai. She stretched out her fair right hand, picked up the teapot next to her, and poured a cup for Shen Bai.

"Master, please have some tea."

Amber handed the teacup to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He took the teacup with his backhand, took a sip, and handed the cup over again.

Amber immediately filled Shen Bai's glass with another one.

If you have a strange beast but don’t use it, you’re a fool.

When you are in the world, isn't the purpose of improving your own strength to enjoy yourself?

Shen Bai is not a fool, nor is he the protagonist in the vernacular novels. It is unrealistic to want to live a hard life after becoming powerful.

"Now that I have a thorough understanding, I will first improve my proficiency in the Heart-Confusing Mantra. Once the interrogation results from the Gao family are out, I will plan the next step."

Shen Bai put down the teacup and thought to himself.

With this idea in mind, he did not stop and began to practice the mantra until he was proficient in it.

But before that, he let the amber merge into his body first to get a triple bonus.

Before my eyes, the smoke disappeared, leaving behind a line of text.

[Heart-disturbing curse +3+3+3...]

The proficiency in the Heart-Confusing Spell is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Bai was actually looking forward to what kind of attributes this Heart-Confusing Spell would bring him after it reached level six.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the afternoon was over.

There was another knock on the room in the fifth-floor building.

The person who came this time was not Wu Tian, ​​the owner of the registered house, but Zheng Xing, the owner of the resource house.

When Zheng Xing knocked on the door, he heard someone say "Come in" from inside and immediately pushed the door open.

"Master Shen, I have brought all the fifteen strange objects you requested. You can use them as you wish."

In Zheng Xing's hands, there were fifteen wooden boxes. Each wooden box was of different sizes, but for a master like Zheng Xing who was at the peak of the Void Realm, they had no weight at all.

The wooden box was naturally made using a special method, so even if it was not locked, no strange smell would be emitted.

This was the key reason why Shen Bai came to Nanxing Mansion, so Shen Bai wanted to get the strange object as soon as possible.

Once he has identified all these strange creatures, his strength will undergo a qualitative leap.

"Okay, then you go down first." Shen Bai said.

Zheng Xing nodded, followed the order, and left.

Although he was puzzled as to why Lord Shen wanted these fifteen strange objects, he did not ask.

He was not afraid that Shen Bai would just make a fortune and leave.

If Lord Shen really wanted to make a quick buck and leave, he would never have said that. After Zheng Xing left, Shen Bai thought for a moment, created a crack in the void in front of him, and then put all fifteen strange objects back.

He will be off duty soon and will rest in the Tianjiansi, where he also has his room.

It won’t be too late for him to conduct the appraisal after the scattered values ​​are cleared.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai picked up other materials and read them carefully.

Time passed slowly as Shen Bai observed.

By the afternoon, when it was almost over, it was finally time to disperse.

Many members of the Tianjiansi have already left.

Shen Bai stretched and put the book in his hand aside.

With his current strength, it is already easy for him to read ten lines at a glance and remember them all.

What he saw today was also quite useful to him.

Information is always paramount in battle. No matter how strong you are in combat, having the information beforehand will always make things easier.

So Shen Bai didn't master the Ganluan Heart Spell all afternoon today.

Another room in the five-story building is where Shen Bai rests. It is very big and has all kinds of things.

Shen Bai thought about going out for a meal first to try the delicacies of Nanxing Prefecture, and then coming back to improve his proficiency in the Heart-Confusing Curse, and by the way, thoroughly identify those strange creatures first.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai did not stay any longer and walked out of the five-story building.

At the bottom of the small building, there happened to be quite a few members of the Tianjian Division busying around.

They are on-duty personnel, and being on duty does not mean being idle, but rather becoming busier.

Everyone greeted Shen Bai respectfully and politely after seeing him, and Shen Bai responded one by one.

When he walked out of the door of the Jiantian Division and was about to go out for a delicious meal to reward himself, he didn't expect that two constables happened to walk towards the door.

The Tianjiansi and the Yamen belong to different departments. The Tianjiansi is in charge of strange and mysterious things, while the Yamen is in charge of the people's livelihood and development of a city.

It can be said that both parties are big bosses, but they are in charge of different positions.

"Now that we have nothing to do with each other, there are actually constables coming. Could something be wrong?" Shen Bai thought to himself.

Just as he thought this, two constables came up and bowed respectfully.

"I am a constable from the Nanxing Prefecture government office. I heard that Lord Shen was taking office today, so I came here with the prefectural governor's message to invite Lord Shen to the government office for a drink. The government office has already set up a grand banquet, and we are just waiting for Lord Shen to come over."

Going to a banquet?

When Shen Bai heard this, his brows raised slightly.

The commander of a prefecture has the power of life and death over the prefecture, and is on the same level as Shen Bai's chief.

What he didn't expect was that after arriving here, he encountered many things, and the governor also came to ask him to attend a banquet.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal.

Although the two sides do not interfere with each other, there is still the possibility of cooperation on many tasks.

For example, when I was in Fenglin Province before, there were many times when the Tianjiansi and the government officials cooperated with each other.

Although he was a newcomer, he was still a director of a department and a person of noble status in Nanxing Prefecture, so it was normal for the prefect to come.

When you are in the world, it is not just about fighting and killing, but also about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.

If you want to thrive in Nanxing Prefecture, and since the Nanxing Prefecture's Tianjian Division has just started operating, you naturally need to have favors.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai nodded.

"I'm hungry too. Since the governor has shown such kindness, I can go there now."

The two constables breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Shen Bai agree so readily.

They had no idea of ​​the temper of the director from Nanxing Prefecture, and didn't know whether this mission would be successful.

Now that it has been successfully completed, they can go back and reply.

"Please follow me, Sir Shen." The constable turned sideways and said respectfully.

Shen Bai nodded, and then, under the guidance of two constables, took Amber to the government office of Nanxing Prefecture.

……

The government office is located in the center of Nanxing Prefecture.

Since this is the most important institution in Nanxing Prefecture, it is the closest place to any place in Nanxing Prefecture.

At this moment, the place outside the government office had gone from being deserted to being extremely lively.

The people passing by took a look and although they were curious, when they realized that this was the government office, they did not stop and left quickly.

Various officials from Nanxing Prefecture have arrived here.

All the prominent figures in Nanxing Prefecture have gathered here.

There were seven or eight round tables in the spacious courtyard of the government office.

In addition to officials, there were also high-ranking officials from various forces, all gathered here, greeting each other, creating a very lively scene.

The topics they talked about were all about Shen Bai, who had just arrived in Nanxing Prefecture.

"This time we invite Lord Shen, but we don't know whether Lord Shen will come or not." said a member of the faction.

This member exudes the aura of a peak Unity Realm, and is only one step away from entering the Void Transformation Realm. He is also one of the top leaders of this force.

Another white-haired old man shook his head and said, "Currently, the only information we have about Lord Shen is the rumors in the martial arts world. As for the details, no one knows."

"So will Lord Shen come?" someone asked.

Another official from Nanxing Prefecture said, "Lord Shen is ruthless towards his enemies, but he is still the head of our Nanxing Prefecture after all. He should come to such a gathering."

Everyone nodded, indicating their agreement with what the official said.

At this moment, a different voice sounded.

"I don't think so."

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the person who said this.

The man was dressed in purple and holding a jar of wine in his hand. He took a sip and a hint of drunkenness appeared in his eyes.

"Sinner, what do you mean?" asked the white-haired old man who spoke first, stroking his beard.

The middle-aged man's purple robe was stained with alcohol. He chuckled, revealing a hint of coldness. "Rumor has it that Shen Bai has had a smooth journey. He must be a man with high aspirations. He came to Nanxing Prefecture. He must have a powerful background. Otherwise, how could a mere Tongmai realm person become the head of the Sifu?"

"In my opinion, he's just a young man here to gild his reputation. He has some cunning and social skills. He might even think that we are doing him a favor by inviting him here."

After saying this, the middle-aged man continued to sneer a few more times, with a tone of contempt in his voice.

"Although your Drunken Sword Sect has connections in Beijing-level cities, you should not be too indulgent in Nanxing Prefecture."

The white-haired old man said, "Lord Shen is a young talent, and he ranks 139th on the Liangyu List. He is the hope of the younger generation of our Great Zhou Kingdom. It would be better for you to restrain yourself a little."

"Zui Wujiang, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you make Lord Shen unhappy, don't blame anyone else if you have a hard time."

Zui Wujiang chuckled coldly, "He took all the Gao family members away as soon as he arrived. Do you think a person like him, who did such a thing without any evidence, is a smart person?"

The white-haired old man heard this and said, "I know what you mean. The Gao family often pays tribute to your Drunken Sword Sect, so you naturally feel embarrassed. But sometimes, face is not that important."

Zui Wujiang did not answer, but put the wine jar aside. There was a complicated look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The topic seemed a little dull because of Zui Wujiang's words, but fortunately everyone was smart and changed the topic and started chatting.

Time passed slowly, and after about an incense stick of time, a middle-aged man in official uniform appeared at the banquet.

The man exuded the strength of a peak Huaxu realm, and his scholarly air made people feel that he was just an ordinary scholar.

But when he turned his gaze in any direction, everyone looked at him with a hint of awe.

Dongfangli is the current prefect of Nanxing Prefecture, holding a high position of power.

He was promoted from a small county magistrate to this position.

All the cities he ruled were prosperous and peaceful.

This time, he also hosted the dinner.

When Dongfangli came out, the noise of people talking became much quieter.

Dongfangli put his hands behind his back and sat down in the main seat.

All those sitting here are extremely important officials of Nanxing Prefecture, and each of them holds enormous power.

"Will Master Shen come again?"

There was a constable holding a glass of wine nearby. After hearing Dongfangli's question, he quickly lowered his head.

"If Lord Shen agrees, we should be here soon. Calculating the time, it won't take long to get from the Tianjian Division to the government office."

Dongfangli nodded, then looked at everyone and said slowly, "This time, the purpose is to welcome Lord Shen. I hope that any dissatisfaction you may have will be suppressed and not revealed. After all, Lord Shen's arrival is to restore order in the Nanxing Prefecture's Heavenly Supervisory Department. If the demonic forces are deterred by this, it will benefit not only us but you as well."

After Dongfangli finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that this would definitely not be the case.

Only Zui Wujiang showed a hint of disdain on his face after hearing Dongfang Li's words.

He is different from these people, and he is not like the Gao family.

The Gao family is just a distant relative in a Beijing-level city, and his relative is his biological sister.

It is said that his elder sister has married into a powerful family in a Beijing-level city. She can get whatever she wants there and lives a very comfortable life.

Because of this, although Zui Wujiang's Zuijian Sect is not very powerful in Nanxing Prefecture, even the big forces have to give him some face.

As soon as Shen Bai arrived, he arrested all the members of the Gao family without saying a word, and his methods were extremely bloody and cruel. He simply did not take the Drunken Sword Sect seriously.

When a young man comes here, he must pay his respects first. But now he has done such a thing. Zui Wujiang doesn't want to let him off easily.

Just as he was thinking this, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Everyone turned their eyes to the door and saw Shen Bai bringing Amber into the courtyard of the government office.

Shen Bai's current portrait has long been known to everyone, and Shen Bai's identity can be seen at a glance.

Dongfang Li was the host of this dinner, so he naturally had to behave like a host. Without a word, he stood up, walked up to Shen Bai, and said with a bow, "I am Dongfang Li, the prefect of Nanxing Prefecture. I am honored to meet you, Lord Shen."

Shen Bai also looked Dongfangli up and down.

Seeing that he had a scholarly air and a righteous look between his eyebrows, he didn't feel disgusted at all, and then he bowed as well.

"Thank you, Lord Dongfang, for hosting this banquet. It is a great honor for Shen."

With just two simple greetings, the two gave each other enough face.

Throughout this process, nothing embarrassing happened.

Dongfangli thought to himself.

"Shen Bai looks very young, but he is very smooth and unperturbed. If nothing unexpected happens to him, he will definitely achieve more than what he has now. It's a good thing to make a good relationship with him."

Sometimes, the first impression is very important, and Shen Bai's first impression made all the other officials and high-ranking officials, except Dongfang Li, nod their heads secretly.

Regardless of his strength, his calm attitude makes him worthy of everyone's friendship.

Dongfangli waved his hand and said, "Since Lord Shen is here, please join me."

Next to the main table, there was an empty seat, which was just right for Shen Bai.

Dongfangli didn't expect that Shen Bai was accompanied by a strange beast in human form, so he prepared to ask someone to arrange another one.

Shen Bai didn't refuse, and then took Amber to sit at the main table.

"The dinner has begun. Please feel free to join in. Don't be too restrained." Dongfangli said immediately after he sat down.

The host spoke, and the other guests also started to pick up their chopsticks.

According to the rules of the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five dishes, it is time to chat.

This was the first time that Amber had turned into a human body and eaten human food in this way, so he found it quite novel.

From time to time, he would use chopsticks to pick up some dishes for Shen Bai, looking like a loyal beast.

Shen Bai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but he ate it all anyway.

"Sir Shen, since we're meeting for the first time, I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

"Mr. Shen's name has long been known throughout the world of Jianghu. Meeting you this time is truly a great honor. I'll drink this glass of wine."

"When I met Lord Shen, it was like meeting a close friend. I was moved by his demeanor. I have no choice but to drink this glass of wine."

Whether they were officials or high-ranking officials, they all held their cups and drank.

Although the top leaders of these forces are not all forces in Nanxing Prefecture, they are all forces close to the government, so they were invited by Dongfangli.

Dongfangli looked at the lively scene with a smile on his face.

He was also worried about Shen Bai's eccentric personality, but now it seems that this young man is smooth and sensible enough.

Then he started talking with Shen Bai.

"Sir Shen, do you have any specific plans for this trip?" Dongfang Li asked.

Shen Bai drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile, "Just follow the normal procedures of the Tianjian Division."

This sentence was equivalent to giving Dongfang Lian a reassurance, meaning to tell him that with Shen Bai in charge of the Tianjian Division, order would be restored soon.

Dongfang Li smiled and said, "I've heard that the thirty recent incidents of chaos were all resolved within a day. Lord Shen is truly decisive and swift. I admire him immensely."

Shen Bai also boasted in a businesslike manner, "Since I arrived, I've seen the people are in high spirits. Everyone is overflowing with happiness. I believe that Lord Dongfang's governance is also excellent. I can't even compare to him."

"In Nanxing Prefecture, it's inevitable that two top institutions will share what they have."

“Only in this way can we get better and better.”

"That's the truth. Now that Lord Shen understands, I feel relieved. Come, let's drink!" Dongfang Li clinked glasses with Shen Bai and then drank the wine.

Finally, he added one more sentence.

"Lord Shen is in Nanxing Prefecture. If there is anything inconvenient, please feel free to tell me in detail. I will definitely provide the greatest convenience within my power."

"Of course." Shen Bai laughed heartily and said, "If Lord Dongfang has something that is inconvenient for him to help, he can come to the Tianjian Division to find me. I will certainly do my best to help you."

The exchange between the two seemed ordinary, but after hearing it, many officials and high-ranking officials of powerful forces had already made many calculations in their hearts.

This means that the government office and the Tiantian Division will be in close contact during Shen Bai's tenure.

And if they join forces, the prosperity of Nanxing Prefecture will surely reach a higher level.

The prosperity of Nanxing Prefecture will also be of great benefit to everyone here.

Thinking of this, everyone felt happy, and half an hour had passed while they were toasting with Shen Bai.

Time passes gradually.

Amber was a little tired of eating, so she put down her chopsticks, her emerald eyes rolling around, looking around.

Shen Bai felt that this trip should have a perfect ending, and couldn't help but touch Amber's furry ears.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Master Shen, everyone else has toasted you, so I'll toast you with this one too."

After hearing this, Shen Bai turned around and saw a middle-aged man in purple clothes approaching him with two jars of wine in his hands.

Each jar of wine was filled to the brim, and the amount alone was unusual.

Zui Wujiang walked up to Shen Bai, placed a jar of wine heavily on the table, raised his own jar, and said, "Master Shen, you drink it, I'll do whatever I want, I'm not a very good drinker."

When these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions and looked at Shen Bai's expression.

The most taboo thing at the wine table is to let others finish the wine while you just take a sip casually.

This means that one's own status is higher than that of the other party, which is also a form of suppression of others.

Everyone has reached their current status, so naturally they can understand what Zui Wujiang means.

Dongfang Li's expression turned extremely ugly.

He didn't want to invite Zui Wujiang today, but Zui Wujiang took advantage of his sister's noble status in a Beijing-level city and came on his own initiative. Now he has ruined this nice dinner party.

A cold light flashed in Dongfangli's eyes.

Zui Wujiang continued, "Master Shen, my Zui Jian Sect is quite famous in Nanxing Prefecture. You won't refuse to give me this honor, right?"

Shen Bai looked at the wine jar on the table, suddenly reached out, grabbed the jar, and smashed it on Zui Wujiang's head.

The shattering sound was very crisp, like a needle falling in a silent environment.

Everyone present was stunned, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Next to it, there is a handkerchief.

Shen Bai picked up the handkerchief and slowly wiped his hands. He looked down at Zui Wujiang and said, "Who the hell are you? Are you worthy of drinking with me?"
