The Check-In System, Starting with the Sunflower Martial Art for Eunuchs

Chapter 8: Who in the World Are You?!

The Wuxiang Finger skill was one of the 72 Shaolin Secret Arts.

It was a peak finger technique that was as popular as Pinching the Flower and the Pattra Leaf Finger. Even though it was not as famous as Pinching the Flower, it was no weaker than this skill.

One could only display the ferocious might of this technique when they had extremely exquisite internal energy as their foundation. The entire body of the target would definitely turn charred, as if they had been burned by fire, when they were attacked by this technique.

This was the current state of Zhu Dayong's corpse.

Of course, the main reason was that after accidentally killing that oblivious assassin that had infiltrated Changmen Palace recently, Lin Ping happened to have a breakthrough in his cultivation over the past month. He had also accidentally made breakthroughs in his cultivation base and coincidentally advanced to the grade-7 realm.

He had officially become a master who had attained the top three grades.

However, even though his internal energy had reached the grade-7 realm, Lin Ping was proficient in dozens of ultimate martial arts. Thus, his strength definitely could not be measured in terms of ordinary grade-7 standards.

As a result, even Zhu Dayong, whose strength was top even among the grade-7 realm, could not resist when faced with Lin Ping and died after two quick attacks.

"How dangerous. I almost let him escape."

Lin Ping looked at Zhu Dayong's corpse and silently sighed.

Today, he had been forced to attack.

Directorate of Ceremonial Assistant Manager Zhu Dayong was obviously a cruel and ruthless person. If Lin Ping had not attacked now, once Zhu Dayong killed Chun Fei and imperial maid Yun Su, he would definitely not let Lin Ping off because he was a eunuch that was passing by.

Regardless of whether he attacked sooner or later, he would have to do so. He would rather attack early on.

Either way, if he waited for Chun Fei and Yun Su to be killed before he attacked Zhu Dayong, his identity would still be exposed. Thus, he would not be able to continue sweeping the ground in the cold palace!

Perhaps Lin Ping would be able to endure other things.

But Lin Ping could not stand abandoning his sweeping job!

The imperial compound was a well-situated place for checking in, and the best cultivation spot so far. Thus, he definitely could not leave this place.

After some brief thinking, he decided to help Chun Fei.

With Chun Fei around, miscellaneous personnel could not easily enter the cold palace. At the very least, there would be many scruples in doing so. Thus, he would be able to remain low-key and sweep the floor at the cold palace while secretly checking in.

Of course, a small part was because Yun Su and Chun Fei were decent people.

It had been over a year since he arrived at the cold palace. Even though Yun Su and Chun Fei were very aloof and unapproachable on the surface, in reality, they were rather sincere. If they faced danger and could save Lin Ping, they would step in to save him and not watch Lin Ping die.

Today, when that wildly arrogant survivor from the Taixu Sect, He Liang, wanted to get rid of Lin Ping, Yun Su and Chun Fei had stepped in and asked for mercy on behalf of Lin Ping.

On account of this favor, it was understandable for Lin Ping to help out once.

Perhaps someone had made arrangements and given instructions in advance that Changmen Palace would not be peaceful tonight and that no one was allowed to come near.

After all, the successive sounds of combat just now had not invited any spectators.

Lin Ping picked up Zhu Dayong's corpse in a clean and efficient manner, as if he was familiar with this. He tossed the corpse over the wall before turning and asking, "Majesty Chun Fei, are you alright?"

At that moment, it was as if Chun Fei had just woken up from a dream. She barely managed to recover from her shock and looked at Lin Ping with disbelief, as if she completely did not recognize the person in front of her!

It was as if Lin Ping was no longer the eunuch that had lived in the cold palace for over a year, but a stranger.

Besides shock, there was also indescribable panic and fear in Chun Fei's eyes as she looked at Lin Ping.

Yes.

There was fear.

She was a concubine that had lost the emperor's favor, and any eunuch leader or imperial maid in the imperial compound with some authority would not pay any attention to her. Thus, when Zhu Dayong was going to kill her, she did not feel any fear or apprehension.

Now that she was faced with an unfathomable expert who could easily get rid of Zhu Dayong, how could Chun Fei not be afraid?

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

Chun Fei forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart and politely asked while her voice trembled slightly.

"I'm Lin Ping. Your Majesty Chun Fei can call me Little Ping or Little Lin since everyone else calls me that. Of course, if possible, I will be happier if Chun Fei calls me Lin Ping," said Lin Ping calmly.

"Your Excellency, what were you planning to do by staying at Changmen Palace for such a long time?" Chun Fei asked once again.

Lin Ping said in an honest tone, "Of course I came to Changmen Palace to sweep the floor. Haven't I been sweeping the floor with dedication for the past year?"

Sweeping the floor

When Chun Fei and imperial maid Yun Su heard this, they were both dumbfounded. They felt as if Lin Ping was looking at them as if he was looking at two idiots.

You, a grade-7 master

No!

Perhaps he was not a grade-7 expert, but a grade-8 one who had just come to Changmen Palace to sweep the floor?!

Most importantly, he seemed young!

It was simply hard to estimate how much potential such a figure would have in the future!

Even if they were dumb and did not discover any clues after being tricked by Lin Ping for over a year, they were not dumb enough to believe such lies, right?

When they thought about how they had treated Lin Ping as a passer-by and as a tool that they were too lazy to even look directly at for the past year, they simply felt as if they were the biggest jokes in the world.

Chun Fei and Yun Su had even thought that they had saved Lin Ping's life several times over in the past year!

From the look of things now, Lin Ping was probably playing tricks on them since a long time ago?

When Lin Ping saw that the two women obviously did not believe him and that their gazes were full of doubt, he did not explain himself.

He could not explain much of his current situation to others.

"Your Majesty, there should be no problems if I want to continue sweeping the floor in Changmen Palace from now on, right?" Lin Ping asked.

When Chun Fei heard this, her pupils obviously enlarged at this moment, and her mind was probably operating quickly. She rapidly pondered what Lin Ping meant and what deep meaning was embedded behind his words.

After all, Chun Fei was not an ordinary person. After a moment of thinking, she made the wisest decision very quickly and said in a heavy tone, "Of course there's no problem with that! If Your Excellency is willing to remain at Changmen Palace"

"Then that's good." Lin Ping nodded his head and said, "Then I hope that Your Majesty Chun Fei will not disclose the cause of Zhu Dayong's death. Pretend this incident never happened. Is that fine?"

"Yes!" Chun Fei earnestly agreed without hesitation.

Of course it was fine!

Zhu Dayong's death tonight would definitely cause great waves in the imperial compound tomorrow.

Changmen Palace, which had been desolate for a long time, might become the vortex of a storm for some time.

If Lin Ping left during this period and let everyone know that the cause of Zhu Dayong's death had nothing to do with Chun Fei, other experts would definitely look for Chun Fei over the next few days. She would then die a violent death.

Now, Lin Ping continued to stay at Changmen Palace, and they did not tell the outside world who exactly had killed Zhu Dayong.

Even if countless people had their eyes on Changmen Palace and many people wanted to harm Chun Fei in the future, they would have many misgivings and not act against a transgressor to prevent involving the uninvolved.

After all, Changmen Palace seemed to have a grade-8 master, and who would dare to offend them?

"Okay. If there's nothing else, I will go to sleep."

Once Lin Ping saw that everything had been arranged properly, he prepared to go back to his room.

His door had been destroyed by Yun Su. He would have to repair it tomorrow.

When Lin Ping said that he would go back to his room and sleep, he actually did so.

Meanwhile, after Chun Fei and imperial maid Yun Su cleaned up the corpse of Senior Brother He Liang, they could not sleep for the entire night.

They made guesses about exactly what identity Lin Ping had, what objectives he had coming to Changmen Palace, and whether he had the cultivation base of a grade-8 for the entire night

Even after a whole night, they did not have any real clues.

However, when they thought about how an expert master was living beside them, while their emotions were complex, they also mysteriously felt at ease.

Thus, no matter what, their main mission from now on was to persuade Lin Ping to say and not leave Changmen Palace!

They would not hesitate to use all methods!

As long as Lin Ping was around, they would not encounter any danger. He was their support!

With Lin Ping around, only then would Chun Fei have the confidence and qualifications to reveal the cause of her sister's death.

This was a true master, not an unskilled person like He Liang!

In the entire imperial compound, there were 100,000 eunuchs and countless guards, but there were no more than five masters!

Tonight was full of twists and turns. Shocking incidents occurred one after another in an endless stream.

As for Senior Brother He Liang's death, Chun Fei and Yun Su did not feel anything. They did not feel sad for him either
