"Senior, I think I won."

Lin Yi's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the Martial Practice Platform.

The entire audience was silent.

"You..." Hu Biao finally reacted.

But he looked at the saber at his throat.

At this moment, any sophistry was pale and powerless.

Hu Biao glanced at Su Ji on the high platform above. Receiving the other's gaze, he nodded helplessly.

"Alright, you won."

He then turned and walked off the Martial Practice Platform.

"Won?" Bai Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then was the first to laugh out loud. "Hahahaha, you won just like that!"

Bai Qiqi looked at Su Ji beside him in surprise. "Senior Brother, I won."

Su Ji said, "After we cracked the smuggling case last time, I haven't treated everyone yet. Tonight, I'm going to treat everyone to a meal at the Pine Crane Restaurant. I'll leave the Peace Guard to you."

Bai Qiqi's eyes lit up.

This was letting her steal from the till!

"Mhm, mhm, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Hey, you girl, you're in charge of cleaning this Martial Practice Platform. There are quite a few leaves lately," a Peace Guard captain instructed Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yu nodded and went to the backyard to find a broom.

After instructing Zheng Yu.

The Peace Guard captain looked at the Zhang brothers, Zhang Lu and Zhang Chang.

"Two identical-looking guys! You two go clean the latrines!"

"Huh?" The two brothers were dumbfounded and pointed at themselves in surprise.

"What 'huh'! I told you to go, so go! Do you want to eat this afternoon or not!" The Peace Guard captain's face darkened at their stunned expressions, and his aura suddenly erupted.

"What, you want to fight!" The two brothers immediately became indignant and instantly released their True Qi, erupting with power.

Clang!

Just then, the surrounding Peace Guards who had been watching the show also stood up, their faces grim, all releasing their auras and pressing down on the Zhang brothers.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The Zhang brothers' eyes narrowed, and they roared, "Tch! Fine, we'll clean!"

Then, they looked at Lin Yi, who was standing by like nothing had happened, and asked, "What about him?!"

Someone in the crowd chuckled, "Heh, him?"

"Is he the same as you?"

"He won, did you win?"

"Can you compare to him?"

The two were speechless and left dejectedly.

The atmosphere in the Peace Guard station was clearly different from that in the martial arts hall.

If the Rainbow Martial Hall was a typical campus atmosphere, where colleagues loved each other, and your status was higher if you studied well and the teacher favored you.

Then the Peace Guard station was a standard workplace that valued seniority.

The thinking of these people was also very simple.

If you have deep seniority and high strength, then as your junior, I will flatter you, and you can naturally bully me as you please.

If you have deep seniority but are not as strong as me, then brother, I can give you some face, and we can still sit at the same table and drink and brag.

If you don't have seniority but are stronger than me, then brother won't bully you, and you are still our good brother.

But, if you have neither seniority nor strength, do you think anyone will pour themselves into my cup? Do you deserve to eat at the same table as us?

In this atmosphere.

Everyone could be said to be the most steadfast warrior of feudalism.

Among them, there was absolutely no double standard.

Others can bully me, and I can bully others.

Of course, if someone doesn't follow the rules of the workplace.

Heh, then I'm sorry, the feudal era does not allow for a situation where rites and music are broken.

You are not our brother.

You are a passerby.

Lin Yi smiled.

He did not dislike this kind of environment and atmosphere.

He was no longer at the very bottom of the hierarchy in this mode, after all.

With no one to manage him, he was happy to enjoy the leisure.

Thus, he simply found a practice room belonging to the Peace Guard and began to cultivate.

It had to be said that the cultivation conditions of the Peace Guard were simply far superior to those of the martial arts hall.

The practice rooms were all private, single-occupancy chambers!

It was precisely at this moment that [Know Heavenly Fate], which had been completely silent all this time, finally showed some activity.

[Know Heavenly Fate]

[Today's Fortune: Auspicious]

[Divination Text: Follow the natural course, follow your true heart.]

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

However.

Follow his true heart...

That was truly a bit abstract.

Lin Yi did not dwell on it; since he had already begun to slack off and cultivate as a matter of course, he might as well follow his heart and let good fortune come.

At the same time, in the Peace Guard's practice room, Lin Yi felt his entire cultivation process become smoother, and even the rate at which his proficiency increased had accelerated.

Three hours passed in a flash.

Lin Yi was absorbed in his practice, and no one came to look for him during that time.

It was not until nearly the end of the Hour of the Dog (around nine in the evening) that Lin Yi returned to reality from his flow state of cultivation.

He stepped out of the practice room, feeling as if he had been away for an age.

By now, the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Most of the people in the Peace Guard station had already finished their shifts and gone home.

"I lost track of time."

"Why didn't anyone call me?"

Lin Yi scratched his head.

"Because I told them not to."

The next second, a hanging figure swooped down from the rafters with a whoosh.

"Senior Sister?!"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

Thud!

Bai Qiqi jumped down from the rafters, smoothed out her hair, and smiled at Lin Yi. "Junior Brother."

Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Why hasn't Senior Sister left yet? I see that everyone else in the Peace Guard station has already gone."

Bai Qiqi leaned sideways against a nearby pillar and said with a huff, "And who do you think I was waiting for? Who would have guessed you could practice martial arts for so long?"

Lin Yi replied, "My aptitude is not as good as yours, Senior Sister, so naturally I have to practice a bit longer. But why were you waiting for me so late at night?"

Bai Qiqi's face instantly lit up with a smile as she said, "Junior Brother Lin, do you want me to grant you an opportunity?"

Lin Yi's eyes brightened.

Oh?

It seemed the great fortune of the day was about to be delivered by his Senior Sister.
