Chapter 104: Get stronger! Get stronger!
Shen Qing knew that if he asked Li Linfeng for advice, he would not be able to avoid this question.

He killed three members of the Zhou family in one breath. Such a big thing could easily lead to associations.

If some news leaked out from Li Linfeng and someone came to him, he would not be able to resist it.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

It must not be revealed that the Nine Revolutions Profound Art came from the Zhou family.

Shen Qing began to think about the words.

Having lived two lives, he knew very well that lying was the worst option at this moment.

One lie often requires countless lies to cover it up.

This is especially true when lying to people who have a higher social status than oneself.

Because you don’t know what level of cognition the other person is at.

Perhaps one of the inconspicuous details is a flaw that allows the other party to see through your little thoughts and cause you to suffer other invisible losses.

So when facing such people, sincerity is the killer skill. There is no need to hide anything, just speak out your true thoughts.

Of course, if you meet someone who is jealous and suspicious, you cannot be so direct.

After observing for these few days, I found that this uncle is not a narrow-minded person, and he doesn't like to get to the bottom of things.

Shen Qing made up his mind, clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Master, this is a bit complicated... It's not convenient to tell you..."

As he expected, Li Linfeng did not ask any further questions.

In Li Linfeng's eyes, this skill was most likely obtained by Shen Qing through "murder and robbery", and its origin was not legitimate.

However, people in Taiping County fight for martial arts every day, so a situation like Shen Qing's is normal.

Compared to these, he found it more novel that Shen Qing could memorize a whole book of exercises.

Li Linfeng retracted his gaze, hummed softly and said, "Your handwriting is a bit ugly."

Shen Qing was stunned and said ashamedly: "My family has been poor since I was young. I am sorry to make you laugh, Master."

In his previous life, he used hard pens, and brushes were not very practical. If he hadn't acquired the skill of reading and writing on the panel, he might not even be able to write these words.

"Practice more when you have nothing to do in the future." Li Linfeng closed the book and looked at Shen Qing with a smile and asked, "What do you want to ask me by showing me this martial arts book?"

Shen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had fooled the question about the origin of the technique, and said respectfully: "Master, I mainly want to know whether this martial arts technique is authentic, whether it can be practiced, and what is the quality of the technique?"

Li Linfeng pondered for a while and said, "I have carefully examined it. This martial arts book has a solid basis from nourishing the blood to nourishing the sea. It also makes sense in terms of logic. It should be a genuine martial arts book, and the quality is not low."

"It's obviously much more advanced than the martial arts we came up with, and many parts are easy to understand. As for whether it can be practiced, I'm not sure. The martial arts you copied are a bit incomplete. There should be matching move diagrams and training method diagrams in it."

After hearing this, Shen Qing finally felt relieved. There was no problem with the martial arts the Zhou family gave him, so he could try to practice it.

As for the move diagrams that Li Linfeng mentioned, the original versions do exist.

He just couldn't draw it so he didn't copy it down.

Shen Qing couldn't help but flash a hint of joy on his face, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

"It's not really guidance." Li Linfeng said very open-mindedly: "This technique is much more advanced than my Lingfeng Finger. If you have a complete technique, you can indeed practice it. But as the old saying goes, don't be greedy when learning martial arts. After all, a person's energy is limited. If you learn more of this martial art, you will definitely have to learn less of other martial arts. I don't know much about this technique, so there's not much I can teach you. You have to make your own choices."

"Disciple understands. Since I have become Master's disciple, I will definitely focus on learning Lingfeng Finger and not be someone who changes his mind every day." Shen Qing said with his head down.

Seeing that Shen Qing recognized his martial arts, Li Linfeng couldn't help but show a little more relief on his face.

But after thinking about it, he still said with a serious face: "Good birds choose trees to roost in, and people live near water and grass. If I were you, I would definitely learn a more complete and advanced martial art without hesitation. Has your senior brother ever told you why we should practice martial arts?"

Shen Qing recalled: "Yes."

"What did he say?" "We practice martial arts to become stronger and be able to defeat others." Shen Qing replied without hesitation.

"That's right. The idea behind martial arts here is nothing but to become stronger, stronger, and stronger all the time! And to become stronger, you can't be stubborn. It's foolish to confine yourself to a small pond."

Li Linfeng said sincerely: "I am the head of Linfeng Hall. Some of my words are inappropriate. You should handle it yourself. No matter what, you are my direct disciple. I will help you if I can. But if it is beyond my ability, I can't do anything."

Shen Qing was somewhat surprised at Li Linfeng's open-mindedness.

He was not a fool, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning in Li Linfeng's words. He vaguely heard that he was encouraging him to learn the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

He looked at Li Linfeng blankly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Li Linfeng stood up and threw the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art he had copied to Shen Qing and said, "Don't leave at noon. Stay here for lunch."

Because of his aunt Shen Xiu, Shen Qing often stayed here for dinner after becoming a direct disciple. Shen Qing didn't think much about it and agreed immediately.

Walking out of the study, Shen Qing felt a little complicated for some reason.

Half an hour later, it was time for lunch at the Li family.

In the boudoir in the backyard, the maid Dongxue walked up to Li Lingchan's boudoir, knocked on the door and said, "Miss, the master wants you to have dinner together."

Li Lingchan, who had just finished practicing, was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, except for some special times, the Li family's aunts and father would dine together, and the younger generations like them were not qualified to sit at the table.

Today is just an ordinary day, neither a major festival nor anyone's birthday. Why would Dad ask her to have dinner with him?
Li Lingchan didn't think much about it and agreed, "I'll be there right away."

Dongxue continued, "The master also said that Miss should not wear training clothes anymore."

"Hmm?" Li Lingchan asked in surprise, "Are there any important guests coming to our house?"

"No." Dongxue shook her head.

Li Lingchan frowned slightly and said, "Okay, I understand."

The message had been conveyed, Dongxue bowed and retreated.

The midday sun shone obliquely on the green bricks and black tiles in the Li family's backyard, as if the tiles were coated with a layer of faint golden glow.

The Li family's main hall is located in the middle of the backyard, exuding an ancient and elegant atmosphere.

The furnishings in the hall are antique, with exquisite porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings and other works of art arranged in an orderly manner.

At this time, in the center of the main hall, a large mahogany round table was filled with various delicacies and fine wines, exuding an enticing aroma.

The first one to come in was Shen Xiu.

After many days of recuperation, her complexion has become much rosier, and today she dressed up specially, looking radiant.

Shen Xiu quietly took a seat with the help of her maid Dongxue.

"Dongxue, can you see if my makeup is messy?"

Dongxue took a closer look and said, "Seventh Lady, everything is fine."

"Lingchan is quite arrogant. I have to behave better and not make her unhappy." Shen Xiu said anxiously.

"No, the Fourth Miss is not someone who gets angry easily. Besides, Miss Seven, you are so beautiful, everyone in the courtyard likes you."

Shen Xiu couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her mouth, and became happy.

As they were talking and laughing, Shen Qing stepped over the threshold and walked in.
