Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

Chapter 106 Choice
Shen Qing was already starving after a whole morning of hard work. In addition, the meal prepared by Li Linfeng this time was particularly to his liking. After the others left the table, he had no scruples and ate a little extravagantly, which was unusual for him.

This made Aunt Shen Xiu have some other associations.

However, Shen Qing was too lazy to explain anything further, lest it would only make things more confusing.

After eating and drinking, Shen Qing patted his bulging belly and said, "Aunt, I'm going back first."

"Yeah." Aunt Shen Xiu, who had lost interest, said, "I was not thoughtful enough about what happened today. You must not let this affect your mentality and concentrate on practicing martial arts."

"I know."

Shen Qing smiled slightly, strode out of the main hall, and a faint sigh was heard behind him.

Li Linfeng's connection with Shen Qingqiao was relatively secretive and not made public, so not many people knew about it.

But for some reason, it was still known by some people who were interested.

"Junior brother, I heard that the master introduced the junior sister to you, but you refused?" Ouyang Tiezhu asked curiously after he and Shen Qing finished fighting.

Shen Qing frowned and said, "You all know?"

"There are only so few people in the courtyard. Junior Sister didn't come over this afternoon. We can find out by asking around. It's not a particularly difficult thing."

Shen Qing did not deny it and said, "That's true, but my junior sister just doesn't like me."

"I see. How can I describe this little sister of Master's? She has been spoiled by Master since she was young, and her standards are very high. She really doesn't like you."

Ouyang Tiezhu patted Shen Qing on the shoulder and said, "I have a few girls here. Would you like to meet them? Don't worry, they are all honest people. There are also some business people among them, and they are also very beautiful. You are now a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm and have some skills. It is indeed time to consider this."

"Uh..." Shen Qing waved his hand and said, "I have no intention of starting a family yet. Let's talk about it later."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Tell me when you have an idea. You're young now, and your future is limitless, so it's easier to get married. Otherwise, when you're older, it'll be ok if you're successful, but it won't be easy to find a good father-in-law. It's better to do it as soon as possible."

Shen Qing nodded and said, "Okay. If I change my mind, I'll tell you right away."

"Oh, there is one more thing I need to remind you of. The Zhou family was bombed by the Huang Tian Cult today. Now the county government is hunting down the remnants of the Huang Tian Cult. Be careful when you go out."

Shen Qing guessed that it was probably because of Wu Jilei that Huang Tianjiao had to take the blame for him.

This is the best way, Huang Tianjiao doesn’t have to worry about having to take on one more blame.

Just make them work harder.

"The Huangtian Sect again?" Shen Qing said helplessly, "It really never ends."

"Just be careful anyway."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ouyang."

……

The little episode in which Li Linfeng set up a connection between Shen Qing and Li Lingchan caused waves among the senior brothers in the backyard.

But as fast as it comes, it goes as well.

Linfeng Hall is mostly populated by men, and they don't particularly care about this kind of gossip.

They all felt that instead of wasting time to inquire about such matters as men and women's crotch-ripping, it would be more practical to practice their boxing skills and improve their strength.

Wait until the afternoon.

After fighting with other brothers dozens of times, Shen Qing returned to the outer courtyard pharmacy with aches all over his body. He pulled open his clothes and found large bruises all over his body.

This happened during sparring sessions, when I was occasionally not as skilled as my senior brothers and was injured by them.

If this were to happen in actual combat, and the brothers had used all their strength to unleash the power of Lingfeng Finger, the damage on his body would not just be just bruises, his life might even be in danger.

"In actual combat, defense must also be considered. As long as someone can't kill me with one strike, I have a chance to kill them back. If I'm killed with one strike, then it's all over. There's no going back. My body is not strong enough to withstand blows."

Shen Qing put away his thoughts and soaked in the medicinal bath as usual, tempering his flesh and blood, and strengthening his muscles and bones. When Shen Qing finished his day's practice in the evening, he took Shen Xiaohu to leave the city and return to his residence in the outer city.

In a shop on the left side near the road, the door was closed, and bursts of smashing and screaming could be faintly heard from inside.

When Shen Qing passed by, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A middle-aged man covered in blood stumbled out and tried to escape.

But before he could get far, a ruffian behind him grabbed his hair and dragged him back in.

The door slammed shut again, leaving only a bloodstain on the ground.

Shen Qing and Shen Xiaohu were a little surprised when they saw this scene.

In his impression, the inner city has always been very stable. Generally, any trouble between gangs is basically handled in the outer city, and few people dare to fight so blatantly.

"Who are they to be so arrogant in the inner city?"

after awhile.

The screams in the room stopped abruptly.

The door reopened.

A sturdy man who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with walked out.

He stretched his muscles, glanced at the crowd gathered on the street, and shouted, "The Mi Gang is in charge, and outsiders should stay away."

The well-dressed man's voice was extremely powerful.

At his loud shout, the people who were craning their necks to watch the fun dispersed.

"Are they from the Mi Gang?"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man inconspicuously.

He knew that the Mi Gang had some grievances with Li Linfeng. The Mi Gang was now relying on the government officials and was acting in a radical style, which was not good news for Linfengtang.

"Let's go."

Shen Qing and Shen Xiaohu did not stay any longer and left quietly.

walk down the street.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Shen Qing noticed that there were fewer people on the street.

Some stores have already been emptied and moved away.

The inner city actually feels a bit desolate.

Shen Qing returned to the shantytown and asked about the situation of the new area he had taken over today.

Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, he stopped asking questions.

At night, Shen Qing ate some simple meals, put aside all chores, and placed all the martial arts secrets he had obtained today on the table.

"Li Linfeng told me today that a person's energy is limited, and one cannot practice too many martial arts. Learning one martial art at the same time is the limit, and one must make a good choice. But I don't have to do that now that I have an ink painting panel."

After so many days of practice, Shen Qing already knew that his ink-and-wash panel could prove his skills once and for all, and that it would only improve and not regress. So learning some martial arts skills was not a very energy-consuming thing for him.

"I have twelve hours a day, and I have to spend two to three hours practicing Lingfeng Finger, and two to three hours resting. So if I calculate the remaining time, I can learn two more martial arts skills and one other skill besides martial arts. For the ones I have already practiced, I can just increase my proficiency in application, and I don't have to practice them separately."

"Then the next question is, which two martial arts should I practice?"

Shen Qing lowered his eyes to the several martial arts books in front of him.
