The next morning.
Li Changfeng and the other three got extremely drunk at a restaurant. The five of them lay sprawled on the ground, intertwined with each other, with empty wine jugs scattered all over the floor, creating a very messy scene.
Li Changfeng's eyebrows twitched slightly as he slowly woke up. Upon waking, he found that Zhuiming's leg was pressing on his chest, while he was sleeping on Tie Shou's arm, and Leng Xue was resting his head on Wu Qing's leg, all of them still seemingly unconscious.
Li Changfeng forcefully removed Zhuiming's leg and slowly stood up. A sharp pain shot through his head. They had a very pleasant chat last night, drinking pot after pot of wine without stopping, especially Zhuiming and Tieshou, who were pouring him drinks until he was exhausted.
He was so drunk he didn't even know how he passed out. Li Changfeng nudged the two of them, "Hey! You two are still sleeping! Get up!"
Zhuiming and Tieshou groggily woke up. Tieshou rubbed his head and said, "Where am I? How did I get here?!"
Zhuiming mumbled incoherently, "Come on, Brother Li! Let's keep drinking!"
Li Changfeng was speechless upon hearing this, and patted Zhuiming's cheek, "Hey, hey, hey! Still drunk from last night!"
Upon Zhuiming, Zhuiming shook his head frantically, "Ugh! I drank too much last night, and now my head is throbbing!"
At this moment, Wuqing and Leng Xue were also awakened by the commotion. Wuqing found Leng Xue with his head on his lap, vomiting a lot of foul-smelling residue. His face was ashen, and he pushed him away in disgust.
"Leng Xue! You... you're disgusting!"
Leng Xue looked embarrassed upon hearing this, "Uh... I'm so sorry! Ruthless! Please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Wuqing snorted coldly, "You can't drink that much. Don't drink too much next time. You're all covered in it, it's disgusting. I'm leaving now, I'm going to take a shower!"
After saying that, Wuqing walked out of the private room with a grim face and slowly left.
Leng Xue gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "You make it sound like you weren't drunk last night..."
Seeing this, Li Changfeng smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, let's leave here! Let's go back and get some rest; I feel terrible reeking of alcohol!"
The three nodded slowly upon hearing this. "Alright! Let's go then!"
After the four of them paid their bill, they left separately, agreeing to meet again that night to discuss the Blood Demon Sect case.
However, the news of Li Changfeng drinking with the Four Famous Arresters spread like wildfire throughout the tavern, shocking everyone in Tianji City.
The Four Famous Arresters are not people who can be liked by just anyone. They are extremely arrogant, and there are very few peers who can be regarded with respect by them. Since Li Changfeng can drink with them and get drunk, their friendship must be very deep!
Not long after this incident, the restaurant's business suddenly boomed, with people coming to inquire about the Four Famous Arresters and Li Changfeng.
"What do you think that person's relationship is with the Four Famous Arresters?"
"How would I know about this! I've only seen this person before; his face is unfamiliar, he doesn't seem to be from Tianji City, he seems to be from outside!"
"Nonsense! There are so many people in Tianji City, how could you possibly know them all? You can't joke like that!"
"Hmph! Believe it or not! I'm a professional information broker, I'm sure I wouldn't be wrong about something like this!"
Most of the diners in the restaurant were discussing Li Changfeng, while three people by the window were calmly sipping their drinks, listening intently to the gossip.
Qi Gaofeng said with a solemn expression, "It seems this person is the same one we met last time! I didn't expect him to have such a deep relationship with the Four Famous Arresters!"
Fan Junming nodded upon hearing this, "To be able to be on friendly terms with the Four Famous Arresters Constables, he must have some extraordinary abilities. Let's befriend him if we can, but it's best not to offend him!"
Yuan Jiamu, however, was unconvinced, his face filled with jealousy. "Hmph! This kid is only good because of his family background. If I had his family background, I would definitely do better than him!"
Qi Gaofeng and Fan Junming shook their heads. They didn't believe Yuan Jiamu's statement. They had never heard of the Four Famous Arresters Constables having any relationship with those powerful aristocratic scions before. It was more common for aristocratic scions to curry favor with them.
However, the Four Famous Arresters ignored these people and didn't seem to want to get to know them at all, while Li Changfeng did. This shows that Li Changfeng is no ordinary person.
Fan Junming finished his drink and said calmly, "Alright! We should get going. This is our first mission, and we must complete it perfectly!"
Qi Gaofeng nodded upon hearing this, "Brother Fan is right! We cannot afford to lose this time!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiamu pursed his lips. "He's just a criminal at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. What's there to be so cautious about? It's just a matter of taking him down easily!"
Qi Gaofeng and Fan Junming both frowned upon hearing this. Qi Gaofeng was extremely dissatisfied with this person, thinking to himself, "I have no idea how this person got to this position. So arrogant, he's simply brainless!"
Fan Junming looked helpless upon hearing this, "Let's go! Let's set off!"
Evening.
By this time, Li Changfeng had completely sobered up and slowly walked out of an inn, heading towards Tianji Prefecture, intending to discuss the Blood Demon Sect matter with the Four Famous Arresters.
The reason Li Changfeng did not move into Tianji Prefecture was that he had just started his job and Tianji Prefecture had not yet assigned him a house. He could only stay at an inn for the time being and move into Tianji Prefecture after his room was assigned.
Li Changfeng walked slowly, taking the opportunity to observe the beautiful scenery on the streets of Tianji City. He immediately noticed that the people here were all very simple and honest, very kind to their neighbors, and the city was very safe.
Li Changfeng had walked for so long without seeing a single thief or bully. There were also many constables from the Six Doors patrolling from time to time. The entire Tianji City seemed very peaceful and prosperous!
Tianji Prefecture
Just then, Li Changfeng arrived at Tianji Prefecture and bumped into Zhuiming. "Brother Zhuiming! What a coincidence!"
Upon Zhuiming, Zhuiming burst into laughter, "Haha! Yes! Brother Li! You've come to discuss that matter with us, haven't you!"
"Great! Looks like I'm not too late!"
Zhuiming put his arm around Li Changfeng's shoulder and laughed, "Not too late! Just in time! Let's go together!"
The two then went to Wuqing's room together, only to find that Wuqing and Leng Xue were already waiting there. When they saw Li Changfeng and Zhuiming arrive, they smiled slightly and said, "You've come! Please have a seat!"
Li Changfeng and Zhuiming smiled slightly upon hearing this, and sat down directly next to the two of them, saying with a smile, "It seems you two have been discussing for quite some time. Tell us what you've come up with!"
