"Changliang's book..."

Shang Wu frowned. Half a year ago, the newly crowned king of the eleventh district took over the position of the original king, while the old king went out to clean up the disaster.

Chang Liangshu can now be considered the top leader of the Eleventh District's city defense forces.

Is this person also a believer?

“Go on, what about the person who left?” Shangwu asked.

"That was also the opportunity that made me realize that District 11 had been infiltrated by cultists."

Shen Qing took a deep breath: "Afterwards, I was afraid of being discovered by the King, so I chose to follow that city guard."

“At that time, I saw him sneakily go to the area where the homeless people lived, and in the moonlight I could clearly see him injecting a drug into the homeless people.”

"After a period of struggle, I saw..."

Shen Qing's expression changed slightly: "That homeless man's cultivation level has skyrocketed, directly becoming a third-tier martial artist, and his arms and face have undergone deformities!"

"I recognized the change in his hand; it was the Jade Mantis's scythe!"

"Even his face, he looks exactly like a carbon copy of the Jade Mantis!"

Then Shen Qing revealed a bitter expression: "Later, he controlled the abnormality in his body and it disappeared. After that, he also joined the city guard."

Shang Wu's expression gradually turned serious: "You mean the vagrant directly became a third-tier martial artist?"

Shen Qing nodded affirmatively: "Yes, not only that, but there are many unfamiliar faces among the city guards, and the number of homeless people is also decreasing rapidly."

He paused for a moment, then added, "And I also have an acquaintance who was an ordinary person before, but later transformed into a sixth-level martial artist."

Shangwu realized the seriousness of the problem.

The potion can actually directly enhance one's strength!

Shen Qing's gaze swept over the books in the room with a complicated expression.

The potion could so easily enhance one's strength, yet "he" put in so much effort but gained nothing.

"I understand the general situation. Are there any other high-ranking officials involved?"

Shen Qing pondered, "Although there is no direct evidence, I still suspect six others. They are all people who are very close to Chang Liangshu. In addition... there is a businessman."

"A merchant?" Shangwu asked, puzzled.

"Um."

Shen Qing scratched his head: "It's not entirely accurate, because this businessman suddenly appeared, dedicated to eliminating the gap between martial artists and ordinary people. You know the situation in District 11 before, so it's basically impossible."

"But now that he has succeeded, it is also inseparable from the strong support of the city's defense forces at that time, so I suspect that he may also be one."

These names were given to Shangwu, who looked at them and pondered.

Xu Ruiling couldn't sit still any longer and started pacing around the room.

"You like reading?"

Shen Qing didn't disturb Shang Wu's thoughts. He saw Xu Ruiling stop in front of the bookshelf and started chatting.

"I only read them occasionally," Xu Ruiling said vaguely. She couldn't very well say that she only read romance novels.

"Then I suggest you take a look at this book."

Shen Qing pulled out an old book and handed it to Xu Ruiling with a smile.

"Quantum entanglement..."

Xu Ruiling gave an awkward yet polite smile: "Never mind, how could I possibly take your book?"

"It's alright, take it with you." Shen Qing said nonchalantly, "It's just a book. If I help you solve the Creation Cult, I'll have done a great service. These books won't matter then."

Xu Ruiling was speechless. Couldn't they tell she wasn't interested?

"Thanks."

Perhaps because of his insistence, Xu Ruiling accepted it.

After a moment, Shangwu seemed to have made a decision.

"Then, Shen Qing, we'll take our leave now."

"etc!"

Seeing the two preparing to leave, Shen Qing quickly said, "I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Shangwu asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

“Your arrival has surely been discovered by the cult members, and they have come looking for me. I am no longer safe.”

As Shen Qing spoke, she quickly stuffed things into her bag.

“I will go with you. Your strength is insufficient to deal with the cultists. You are definitely protected by someone in secret.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qing was already standing beside the two of them: "It's safe to be with you."

Xu Ruiling gave him a resentful look; their world together was ruined.

Shang Wu gave Shen Qing a deep look and nodded in agreement to his request.

"Let's go then. I've booked a hotel room. You can book it yourself later."

"no problem."

The three of them walked out of the room. Outside, people occasionally walked by on the street, seemingly without a care in the world.

What hotel did you book?

"Martial arts".

Shen Qing's face stiffened, and she said awkwardly, "That's done very well."

After all, the Wuxing Hotel is the largest and best-serviced hotel in District 11.

Of course, the price is also incredibly high.

Most martial artists would be reluctant to spend that amount on accommodation.

"Oh, right."

When the topic of martial arts came up, Shen Qing remembered.

"The businessman Xu Zhou I mentioned is a shareholder of the Wuxing Hotel, and it's said that he's always been staying in a suite there."

Is that so?

Shangwu nodded: "Perfect, let's go take a look while we're at it."

Now, as an investigator for Kaitian Academy, he can practically do whatever he wants in District 11, with no obstacles in his path.

If there's no green light, then sorry, you probably have a problem.

After taking a taxi, the three of them quickly arrived at the Wuxing Hotel.

Four large, dark gold characters hung on the towering building; it was unclear whether they were made of pure gold.

Stepping into the hall, it also appears magnificent and resplendent.

Before they could even reach the counter, a beautiful woman came up to them and respectfully inquired.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Shang and Ms. Xu?"

"Um."

"Hello, it is a great honor that you chose our hotel. I was originally in charge of your itinerary."

The beautiful woman glanced at Xu Ruiling beside her and paused: "But if either of you needs to make a change, please let me know at any time."

"It's alright, it's alright." Xu Ruiling waved her hand.

She wasn't worried about Shangwu being kidnapped.

"This way, please."

"Book a room first, then come find me in room 307 later."

"good."

Shen Qing nodded and watched the two leave.

Once they had completely disappeared from sight, the restraint on Shen Qing's face vanished, and she regained her calm expression.

Taking off his thick glasses, Shen Qing let out a long breath.

At that moment, everyone around him froze in place, casting respectful glances at him and lowering their heads.

"Everyone, just keep doing your own thing."

Shen Qing said calmly, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

A moment later, a figure quickly walked over, looking at the figure on the sofa with a look of awe.

The other party also swallowed hard, not expecting that the dragon beast would actually make him come in person this time!

That man was none other than Xu Zhou, the former black market boss. He stood ramrod straight, like a benchmark in front of Shen Qing.

"Xuzhou, right?"

Shen Qing…

"It should be said," Qin Sheng said leisurely.

"I never expected that the black market boss from back then would become the biggest businessman in District 11. It seems that the choice was right."
