Chapter 21 ：Fang Yuan has sent you a team invitation

Is this young man with rosy lips and white teeth, and a childish face actually Fang Yuan?! He actually came to the door on his own initiative?! His appearance is so deceptive. When Lin Jing first saw him, she simply couldn't associate this seemingly harmless young man with the terrifying杀神 described by the yamen runners.

It was not until the other party announced his identity that she suddenly realized how terrifying the person in front of her was!

Lin Jing felt a sudden chill down her spine, as if there were prickly thorns on her back, and her entire demeanor changed drastically. With a "whoosh", the flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard shook violently. Crackling sounds erupted all around Lin Jing, and the plants closer to her instantly withered and curled up, as if they had been charred. Obviously, Lin Jing had "fluffed up" and was ready to take action at any moment.

"Master Lin, your appearance really scares me. Please calm down." Fang Yuan quickly tried to persuade her. "The way I entered might be a bit presumptuous, but I really have no ill intentions." Before coming, Wu Haisheng had told him that the master of the Jingwu Hall was a beautiful young girl, so he immediately recognized that the person in front of him was Lin Jing. A girl being able to be the master and firmly establish herself in Changqing County for several years must have extraordinary abilities. There are so many heroes in this world, truly not to be underestimated...

Lin Jing's right hand quietly rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist. Fang Yuan said he was scared, but the expression on his face was still relaxed. The more relaxed he appeared, the more pressure he put on Lin Jing. After all, the rumors about him outside were extremely exaggerated. As a well - educated young man of the new century, Fang Yuan adheres to the principle of returning hatred with hatred and kindness with kindness. Treat me the way you want to be treated.

This time he came to ask for help, so Fang Yuan was extremely sincere. However, a person has a reputation just as a tree has a shadow. The image of Fang Yuan as a "killing god" had long taken root in Lin Jing's heart. As soon as he showed up, it triggered a stress response in Lin Jing.

"What brings you to my place, sir?" Lin Jing asked calmly. "I don't remember having any grudges with you." As she spoke, she stared intently at every move of Fang Yuan. As long as Fang Yuan made the slightest move, she wouldn't be polite... Of course, she would run away directly!

"I've already said that I'm not here to cause trouble..." Fang Yuan sighed and stood up from the stone bench. Then he stated his purpose. "Master Lin, I hope you can help me with my cultivation."

"Help you with your cultivation?" Lin Jing frowned slightly. "With your strength, why do you need to seek my help?"

"Master Lin, don't be modest. I came here especially because of your reputation." Fang Yuan replied seriously. "And it seems that you have some misunderstandings about me. I just have good battle achievements. In fact, I'm just a small fry at the first - level of the second realm." As he spoke, Fang Yuan slightly released his aura of the first - level of the second realm.

There was confusion in Lin Jing's clear eyes. Yes, this aura was indeed that of the first - level of the second realm, and his realm was much lower than hers. But why was this young man so powerful in combat? After a little thought, Lin Jing understood the key and asked, "Did you awaken a martial arts talent?"

This woman actually knows about martial arts talents? Fang Yuan didn't hide it and nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes."

"So that's how it is..." Lin Jing showed a look of sudden understanding. "No wonder you have such abilities. It seems that the martial arts talent you awakened is terrifyingly strong." She was quite familiar with the martial arts realms of Manager Zeng and County Lieutenant Xiao. Each of them was not lower in realm than Fang Yuan, yet Fang Yuan was able to kill all three of them. This was enough to explain everything.

"It seems... Master Lin, you also awakened a martial arts talent?" Fang Yuan asked in return.

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded in admission. "Martial arts talent is a gift from heaven to all living beings. Only one in ten thousand people can awaken it, and it varies in strength. Yours... is extremely strong."

Fang Yuan understood. It seemed that others awakened their talents on their own, while he relied on the "Book of Good Deeds". One in ten thousand, indeed a cheat, easily achieving what others could hardly do.

"In that case, I really have to thank heaven." Fang Yuan said casually. "So, Master Lin, can you help me with this?"

Dare I say no... Lin Jing thought in her heart, but on the surface, she nodded and replied, "Of course. What do you want to learn?" Fang Yuan's battle achievements were there for all to see, leaving her with no room to refuse. For the sake of her own life, she could only agree.

"I'll learn whatever is more powerful." Fang Yuan replied. At this moment, he was like Sun Wukong when he first apprenticed to Patriarch Bodhi, thinking: Seventy - two transformations are more than thirty - six transformations? Alright, I'll learn that!

Lin Jing asked again, "Have you practiced the breathing method?"

Breathing method? Fang Yuan had never even heard of it. So he shook his head and said honestly, "To be honest, I've only practiced one martial art so far, called the 'Thirteen Spears'."

Lin Jing frowned tightly. "It sounds very powerful."

"Yeah, a basic martial art. When I bought weapons, they gave it to me as a buy - one - get - one - free deal."

Lin Jing: "..."

Fang Yuan told the truth and at the same time subtly reminded Lin Jing that his martial arts talent was terrifyingly strong. Little girl, you'd better not play any tricks. Lin Jing understood the meaning in his words and gave Fang Yuan a deep look. She explained, "After condensing martial magic power in the body, a breathing method is needed to regulate it, allowing the magic power to penetrate into the limbs and bones, strengthening oneself. Moreover, it also plays a crucial role in battles. The cultivation in the second realm is to temper the bones with magic power, and this process cannot do without the breathing method..."

Lin Jing explained the cultivation method of the second realm to Fang Yuan in detail. Fang Yuan listened attentively. After listening, he said, "I understand. Then please get me a [breathing method]."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Lin Jing left these words, turned around, and walked into a room. When she came out again, she was holding a thick book in her hand.

"This is the breathing method I practice, called the 'Purple Yang Electric Gang Technique', and it is also the family - inherited skill of my Lin family."

Family - inherited skill? Fang Yuan was a bit surprised. The other party actually took out her family heirloom?

"I didn't expect Master Lin to be so dedicated."

Lin Jing replied expressionlessly, "It's a matter of life and death. I should do my best." Although Fang Yuan seemed like a novice in martial arts, Lin Jing always felt that this person was not that simple. An ordinary technique might not be able to deceive him. In fact, this was indeed the case. Whether a martial art was powerful or not, Fang Yuan didn't even need to learn it. He could know by adding points through the "Book of Good Deeds".

"Master Lin is really a smart person." Fang Yuan nodded. In his heart, he thought: Hmm? Why does this sound like something a villain would say?

"Also, I dare to make a request to you." Lin Jing immediately added.

"Speak." Fang Yuan replied readily.

"I hope the two of us can cooperate to deal with the magistrate of Changqing County!" Lin Jing said astonishingly. She clenched the book in her hands tightly, and a trace of hatred flashed across her originally expressionless face. "I want to personally cut off that corrupt official's head!"

Alas, when will the cycle of revenge end... Fang Yuan thought in his heart and then shook his head. "No."

"Can't, or are you afraid...?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Jing's eyes. Fang Yuan had killed Zhao Shuanghe's son. In her opinion, Fang Yuan was already on the opposite side of Zhao Shuanghe. The so - called enemy of an enemy is a friend, which was why she was willing to take out her family heirloom, hoping to win over a powerful ally. But she didn't expect Fang Yuan to directly refuse. It seemed that no matter how bold a person was, there was always a limit.

Alas, if he doesn't want to, then forget it... It's just that she accidentally revealed her true purpose of lying low here to an outsider, and now it's rather tricky... Lin Jing was frowning and thinking when she heard Fang Yuan continue, "You can only watch from the side at most. The head of that Zhao Shuanghe has to be cut off by me."

"What?" Lin Jing didn't react for a moment.

"I mean, I have to kill Zhao Shuanghe myself." Fang Yuan explained. Are you kidding? This evil - doing magistrate would surely earn him a lot of good deeds points. How could he let someone else take the head! Even if you have the deepest hatred in the world, it won't work.

"Do you mean that you agree to cooperate with me to kill this evil person?" Lin Jing asked again uncertainly.

"Of course, but the head must be mine!" Fang Yuan emphasized repeatedly. He had originally planned to kill the official. It was no problem to have a companion on the way, as long as he got the head!
