What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

The next day.

The sunlight fell on the bare branches of the willow tree in front of the door. Xu Shimo, carrying a pot of wine and a box of pastries, gently knocked on the door.

Although his current strength is even superior to Lin Jing's, one should not, at least not, forget one's roots.

Etiquette is essential, and Lin Cha Tou has been of great help to me.

A moment later, the door opened, and Lin Jing and Lin Jing met eyes, neither of them speaking.

Lin Jing: "Shouldn't you be on duty at the City Guard at this time?"

Xu Shimo didn't speak, but glanced at the other person, the meaning in her eyes was very clear: You didn't go either, did you?

Lin Jing paused for a moment, then stepped back halfway. "Come in," he said.

"You're here, why bring anything?"

After settling into their seats, Lin Jing exchanged pleasantries, then paused for a long while before asking, "You've reached the second level of Qi and Blood?"

Xu Shimo: "Chief Lin has a keen eye."

A discerning eye?

"What's wrong with you? I told you you might reach the second level of Qi and Blood in ten days, and you rushed up to it in just one day..." But Lin Jing was mentally prepared and asked again, "How's your Fish-Dragon Stance training going?"

"I've basically mastered it."

Basic training complete?

If it were someone else, Lin Jing would probably think that they had entered the door, having mastered the Fish-Dragon Stance in a day, which is quite a good aptitude.

But for Xu Shimo, who thus entered the second level of Qi and Blood...

Is this the culmination of a great achievement?

Lin Jing was momentarily stunned, then asked, "What about the swordsmanship?"

Xu Shimo: "I've gained some insights."

"Oh, you've gained some knowledge? That's good," Lin Jing said blankly. "Sword techniques are indeed difficult to master. Although I acquired this sword technique by chance, its quality is excellent, even better than some martial arts schools' core techniques. I've only reached a minor level of mastery so far. Keep practicing, be diligent and persistent, and you'll surely make progress."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo was somewhat surprised. Lin Cha Tou was only at the minor level?

In Lin Jing's heart, besides shock, there was also a sense of disappointment.

I never imagined that my habit of boasting would lead me to encounter a true genius, one who could master the Fish-Dragon Stance in just one day.

However, the matter of the young girl seems inappropriate.

Lin Jing's gaze, which had been vacant, regained some of its brightness. His eyes fell on the bag of osmanthus cakes, and he said:

"You're very kind, but Youniang doesn't like osmanthus cake, so you should take it back with you."

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the house, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water; it was Lin Zhiyou.

"Father, is that Brother Shimo?" she asked, tilting her head and sniffing the air. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "It's osmanthus cake! Father, when did you become so generous? Didn't you just buy a box a few days ago...?"

As she spoke, she seemed to realize something, her face scrunched up, and her voice softened as she asked, "Is that Brother Shimo?"

"This is none of your business. Go back and rest."

Lin Jing waved his hand expressionlessly, and Lin Zhiyou responded with a sound of agreement. Then she turned and walked away, her skirt fluttering.

"You Niang," Xu Shimo stepped forward with the box of pastries and said, "I just bought it on a whim, but it turns out to be your favorite. If I had known you liked it, I would have brought a few more boxes."

Lin Zhiyou quickly declined, "I...I don't like to eat it. Brother Shimo, you practice martial arts, why don't you use it to buy more pills and herbal soups?"

This box of pastries is nothing compared to the money I spent on elixirs.

In the hall, Lin Jing sighed, "Accept it."

Only then did she place it in Lin Zhiyou's hand. She thanked him and ran away with a slightly flushed face.

Lin Jing carefully examined the wine pot. It was Chen's Green Bamboo Wine, one tael of silver per pot. He had many questions in his mind, but didn't dare to ask too many, so he said:

"Song Wen and I are close friends. You saved his life, so he is also my benefactor, Lin Jing. You don't need to be so polite when you come over in the future."

Xu Shimo: "Officer Lin, to be honest, I have something I need to trouble you with."

"speak."

"I have heard..."

"No need to call me subordinate. There are three constables in Hongshoufang: myself, Wang Chang, and Constable Zhao. Constable Zhao is getting old and will retire by next spring at the latest. Then you will be Constable Xu."

If not subordinate, what should we call him? Xu Shimo readily agreed.

"Uncle Lin, as the saying goes, if you practice martial arts but don't practice internal skills, you'll end up with nothing. Although my martial arts training is not perfect, I have some foundation, but my internal skills are always lacking."

"That makes sense, but if you want to hone your fighting skills, real combat is the best way. You need a sparring partner, and without a teacher, figuring things out on your own isn't a long-term solution," Lin Jing stroked his chin, glanced at Xu Shimo, and then looked up at his head, asking, "Are you looking for a teacher, but worried that people will be wary of your identity?"

Xu Shimo smiled and nodded: "You can't hide it from the police."

"This matter is easy."

"..."

Lingyuan Martial Arts School.

Lin Jing led Xu Shimo inside.

"Uncle Lin, is this martial arts school... really any good?" Xu Shimo asked.

The three martial arts schools in Chihe County are Lingyuan, Feihe, and Longding. These are the top three schools, and the masters of all three schools are above the Dao level. The threshold for accepting disciples in these three schools is also high.

"Don't worry, I still have some connections here," Lin Jing said calmly, then asked, "Do you have any silver? At least ten taels."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shimo nodded and decided to tell the truth:

"The corpse in the backyard yesterday was Liu Xingyue, the Green Cloud Leg. After Master Chen captured him, he found some silver on him and gave me some."

Lin Cha Tou was not only his superior, but also the only person he was close to in Chihe County, and he even taught him swordsmanship.

There are some things I need to tell him frankly.

"Um."

Lin Jing nodded, asked no more questions, and led Xu Shimo through the door.

Most of the people practicing martial arts in the courtyard looked at them blankly, stopped what they were doing, and looked over curiously.

Some people recognized Lin Jing and called him "Senior Brother Lin".

"Senior Brother Lin, are you here to see Master? Since last month, Master hasn't been involved much in the martial arts school. Now he only comes to the school on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month," someone asked as they approached.

"I see."

Lin Jing nodded, then turned to him and exchanged pleasantries, "Junior Brother Lu, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be able to stand on your own and teach disciples on behalf of your master now."

The man chuckled and waved his hand, saying:

"Brother Lin, you're joking. You know my situation; I only got this job because of my brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have to do the same as you."

His words contained a hint of sarcasm, but his expression suggested otherwise; he was probably just someone who couldn't speak properly.

As Xu Shimo thought this, she felt a little curious about his surname.

What is the relationship between the owner of Mingchuntang and the owner of Mingchuntang?

Lin Jing seemed used to it and didn't care about such things, asking, "Is Senior Sister here?"

The man shook his head:

"My sister-in-law has gone to Cloud City. The one in the inner courtyard now is my second senior brother."

"it is good."

"..."
