23: Become the top disciple of "Little Li Flying Dagger" and show off your skills!
Xu Feng looked at the number he had written down and finally chose to go out and make the call.
After all, the news website Lin Pei provided last time, though seemingly unreasonable, did actually exist.
He chose to trust Lin Pei one more time.
Before long, he returned to the interrogation room.
Just now, the old gentleman confirmed that Lin Pei was indeed his eldest disciple!
The entire Criminal Police Detachment was shaken.
No one expected Lin Pei to be so young, yet be Master Li's first and only disciple!
It was absolutely incredible.
Seeing Xu Feng's expression, Lin Pei breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the character relationship from the system had indeed taken effect.
"Captain Xu, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Xu Feng unlocked his handcuffs.
The Film Crew director had also called just now, saying that they were indeed acting at that time.
Those prop knives were used with his permission.
"Alright, Xiao Lin, everything is clear now; you can go back."
Lin Pei's heart finally settled.
He would never curse that Dog System again.
The Dog System might be dog-like, but it really does save him at critical moments.
Lin Pei followed Xu Feng out of the interrogation room.
The hallway was a scene of noisy commotion.
As far as Lin Pei could see, a group of Criminal Police Officers was rushing toward him.
Their eyes were gleaming, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
Lin Pei was stunned.
Good grief.
What the hell is going on?
Weren't they letting him go? Why are they pulling this kind of stunt now?
No, Captain Xu already released him; it's impossible for them to arrest him again.
At that moment, a cleaning lady ran past him with a broom, moving at extreme speed.
Lin Pei reacted immediately.
They must be catching a criminal.
As expected of a cleaning lady from the Traffic Police Detachment, she's so heroic.
Moved by the lady's courage, Lin Pei turned around and followed in her footsteps.
As a result, after running a lap around the police station, the courtyard was peaceful—where was there any escaping criminal?
The lady ahead turned a corner and entered the cafeteria.
Leaving him with only her loud voice.
"Fat Master, is there any braised pork left?"
"..."
Lin Pei was dumbfounded; so the lady was just in a rush to get her meal?
Judging by the lady's life-or-death sprinting posture, one could only imagine how delicious this Fat Master's cooking must be.
He stopped in his tracks, and the other Police Officers caught up.
Even with good physical stamina, everyone was a bit out of breath.
"I say, Lin Pei, why are you running? Do you want to eat in our cafeteria?"
"You run way too fast; you must exercise a lot, right?"
"Don't even mention it; a rabbit wouldn't be as fast as you. Even Captain Xu was left in the dust."
"Captain Xu went to his office to eat."
"..."
Listening to the Police Officers chattering amongst themselves, Lin Pei understood.
It looked like these people were actually chasing him?
But why?
"Officer, Captain Xu said I'm fine and can leave."
"Is there anything else you want from me?"
The leading Police Officer frowned. "No, you can't leave!"
!!
"Why can't I leave?"
Lin Pei felt a bit panicked.
These Police Officers don't follow martial ethics at all; they released him only to block him again.
Isn't this simply messing with people?
While Lin Pei was doubting his life choices, the gaze of the Police Officer in front of him suddenly became gentle, even carrying a hint of admiration.
He raised his hand and patted Lin Pei's shoulder.
"I heard you're the disciple of the Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger."
"I've long admired his great name, but I've never seen him demonstrate his technique with my own eyes."
"Could you give us a demonstration?"
Lin Pei's brain seemed to flash for a moment.
He understood.
So they were interested in the "Little Li Flying Dagger."
According to the system's data.
Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger was almost a legend in everyone's eyes.
He had once served as the martial arts director for "Little Li Flying Dagger," and almost completely retired to the mountains after that series finished filming.
It made sense.
The old man only had this one unique skill and always carried several small knives on him.
In modern society, small knives are considered controlled weapons.
The old man couldn't even board a plane.
If he wanted to see an exhibition at a museum, he had to store his knives outside first.
The old man didn't feel right as soon as the knives left his person.
Since living in the city was so suffocating, he moved to the deep mountains and forests in a fit of pique and never came out again.
From then on, he became a legend.
Lin Pei smiled.
He slowly loosened his wrists, showing the air of a martial arts master.
"Of course I can; then I'll give you a demonstration."
He followed the group of Police Officers to the backyard, where the Criminal Police Officers often trained.
They brought out every knife they could find that had been confiscated from criminals.
There were knives of all sizes.
Lin Pei picked a target and stood at the shooting position.
He looked as if he were throwing casually, not needing to aim at all.
"Swoosh!"
The sound of slicing through the air rang out, sounding very powerful.
"Thwack!"
Everyone looked closely and was stunned.
A bullseye!
"It hit already?"
"Lin Pei, that's a good throw; you didn't even need to aim?"
"Could this be practiced in anything less than decades? Lin Pei, how old are you?"
"..."
"Hiss."
One Police Officer blinked a few times.
"It looks pretty easy?"
"Let me try."
As he spoke, he picked up a slightly smaller knife.
He aimed for a long time and then threw it with all his might.
"Swoosh!"
A minute passed, and no knife was seen on the target.
That Police Officer felt a bit depressed.
His shooting ability had always been the top dog in the detachment; how did he miss the target?
And miss it so ridiculously.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
The Police Officers all tried their hand.
A few minutes later, there was another bout of awkward silence.
Except for the knife Lin Pei had thrown into the bullseye, the rest of the target was clean, with nothing on it.
The Police Officers secretly exhaled.
This unique skill is truly difficult.
People like them who had practiced throwing couldn't get the hang of it at all.
Lin Pei truly deserves to be the eldest disciple of Master Li and the successor of "Little Li Flying Dagger."
He really is amazing!
Amidst the admiration, a loud roar suddenly came from afar.
"Damn it!"
"Who is it!"
"Who split all my melons open!"
"1, 2, 3, 4..."
"Damn it, I can't even count all these broken melons anymore."
"..."
The Police Officers all facepalmed.
It seemed there was an old farmer's melon field outside the Criminal Police Detachment's wall.
Those knives that missed the target just now—did they all end up stuck in that old man's melons?
Fortunately, judging by the voice, the old man should be fine.
They would need to raise that courtyard wall a bit higher.
A Police Officer coughed.
"How about we go and buy all those melons?"
...Ten minutes later, several people were in the backyard munching on the broken melons.
The Police Officers watched with wide eyes as Lin Pei ate five pieces of watermelon in a row with great relish.
When Lin Pei was about to cut another melon, a Police Officer stopped him in time.
Everyone still had to watch him perform his unique skill in a bit.
With so much food sloshing around in his stomach, won't it affect his performance?
Soon, Lin Pei stood at the shooting position and began his demonstration once again.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
Lin Pei threw fruit knives, kitchen knives, and cleavers all at once.
He looked completely relaxed, as if it required no effort at all.
However, on the targets ahead, every single bullseye had a knife embedded in it.
Never mind the Police Officers; even Lin Pei himself was having a blast throwing them.
If a second season of "Little Li Flying Dagger" were ever made, he would definitely have to audition for the role of Li Xunhuan's disciple.
After a burst of marveling, a young Police Officer remembered something.
"I remember in the TV series, Li Xunhuan could throw his flying daggers without even looking."
"However, those are just dramas; I heard that the Master of the Little Lis Flying Dagger actually practiced the 'Blindfolded Throwing' skill."
"But it was too difficult, and he couldn't maintain his accuracy."
"After stabbing two of his own geese to death, he never practiced it again."
"Lin Pei, can you do a 'Blindfolded Throwing'?"
Lin Pei stopped his throwing motions.
"What's so hard about that?"
"My master felt sorry for the geese, but I don't."
"That's how I mastered this ultimate move."
Just as Lin Pei finished speaking, a faint sob came from outside the courtyard wall.
"Young Man, even if you don't pity the geese, please pity this old man..."
"..."
