My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Yes, he was unconscious for two days!"

The old man looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said calmly, "This is all thanks to your good foundation, otherwise... you might have been unconscious for a week!!"

After saying that, the old man clicked his tongue twice.

That's right, Jiang Xiaobai's internal energy is very unique.

Yin and Yang, two internal forces coexist, yet they also intertwine and generate endlessly.

Even he had never seen such internal strength before.

Jiang Xiaobai's expression changed upon hearing this.

Two days!

He disappeared for two days without any reason, and the Princess and Tang Ningshuang must be going crazy with worry.

And that dragon-tiger fight, things might get chaotic too!

Swallowing hard, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly set up the chessboard and said, "Senior, please take a look first!"

"I suddenly remembered that I have important matters to attend to and must return home first!"

"No problem!"

The old man looked at the chessboard and responded without looking up.

His mind is now completely focused on chess. The endgame is already set up, so whether Jiang Xiaobai stays or not is not that important.

Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief when the old man agreed, and turned to rush outside.

Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Xiaobai's first thought was to run out, but with a single step, he unexpectedly leaped into the air.

call!

Jiang Xiaobai was instantly lifted off the ground, reaching a height of a full ten feet.

"Wow!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked down at the ground that had suddenly receded into the distance, completely bewildered.

Before he could react, his body fell straight down.

boom!

Jiang Xiaobai crashed hard to the ground, his head plunging into the grass, his mouth full of dirt.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Jiang Xiaobai scrambled to his feet, spitting out the dirt in his mouth, and looked back.

He was stunned when he saw it.

That's right, the distance from the door of the wooden house to where he fell was at least several meters.

How could his casual step just now have such a large span?

As Jiang Xiaobai stared in shock, the old man's voice came from inside the wooden house: "Boy, control your internal energy, gather it in your feet, and then move with the momentum!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he turned around and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the wooden house: "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

After saying that, he followed the old man's instructions and tried to guide the internal energy in his body, slowly gathering it on his feet.

After the warm current subsided, Jiang Xiaobai bent his knees and leaped into the air once again.

This time, being prepared, he didn't panic.

Feeling his body suspended in mid-air, Jiang Xiaobai was filled with surprise, and even looked down at the ground twice.

This feeling is almost like flying!

As his body began to fall, Jiang Xiaobai once again gathered his inner strength into the soles of his feet. The moment he landed, he exerted a little force, and his whole body shot out again.

Upon landing for the first time, Jiang Xiaobai staggered two steps.

The second time, although I almost crashed into a tree, at least I didn't fall.

By the third and fourth time, he gradually found the rhythm.

With each rise and fall, it really did resemble a bit of a light-footed martial art.

The more Jiang Xiaobai tried, the more excited he became.

He used to only envy others when he saw them scaling walls and roofs, but he never thought he could do it himself!

After trying various methods, Jiang Xiaobai soon arrived at the main road outside.

Looking at the unfamiliar roads around him, Jiang Xiaobai's excitement turned into bitterness.

That's right, he's still lost!

It's late at night now, and there's not a soul in sight.

However, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze quickly settled on the high place.

If you stand high enough, you might be able to see the buildings of the Hidden Peak Sect.

Moreover, when masters use their lightness skills, they fly through the branches and leaves with a series of clicks, looking incredibly dashing.

He now has at least 60% of his power, so giving it a try shouldn't be a problem, right?

Jiang Xiaobai arrived under a big tree, looked up and examined it for a moment, then stomped his foot hard.

Whoosh!

Jiang Xiaobai leaped up, stepped on a branch above, and used it to climb again.

After several rises and falls, he actually reached the top of the tree canopy.

After regaining his footing, Jiang Xiaobai looked around and saw that the numerous buildings of the Cangfeng Sect were nestled in the mountains, looking extremely magnificent under the moonlight.

"Hey, that actually works!"

Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed and was just about to look for the location of Qingxin Garden when he suddenly heard a soft sound under his feet.

Click!

The branch snapped, and Jiang Xiaobai instantly lost his balance, falling straight to the ground.

Jiang Xiaobai's expression changed drastically. In a panic, he tried to mobilize his internal energy, but the more anxious he became, the less he could control his internal energy.

As the ground drew closer, Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes tightly.

But at that moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt a tightening around his waist.

A figure swept past him, caught his body with one hand, and finally landed slowly on the ground.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai paused for a moment, then looked up.

By the moonlight, one could see an exquisitely beautiful face, her white dress fluttering gently in the wind, like a fairy under the moon.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai gasped.

Isn't this the woman from the lake earlier?

Jiang Xiaobai's expression changed slightly. He quickly jumped off Chu Qingci's arm, took two steps back, and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for saving me!"

After saying that, he thought of what had happened by the lake, and his expression immediately became awkward.

After a brief silence, Jiang Xiaobai coughed and said, "Um... excuse my intrusion, but may I ask whether you are male or female?"

"Alas, because I'm blind, I... really can't see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai widened his eyes and stared intently at Chu Qingci.

"..."

Chu Qingci looked into Jiang Xiaobai's incredibly bright eyes, her red lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word.

blind?

This guy...

Couldn't you at least try to make it look a little more convincing?!

Seeing that Chu Qingci remained silent, Jiang Xiaobai could only awkwardly continue, "Well, if it's inconvenient for you to say, then forget it!"

"After all, as people of the martial arts world, things like gender really need to be kept strictly confidential!!"

"..."

Chu Qingci's helplessness deepened, and she finally said, "Sigh... come with me!"

"Oh, it's a girl!"

Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise.

Chu Qingci did not respond, but instead broke off a branch from the side and handed one end to Jiang Xiaobai.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you blind?!"

Chu Qingci spoke.

"Oh, right, right, right!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, he grabbed the branch, but sensing something was wrong, he let go, pretended to feel around in the air a couple of times, and then grabbed it again.

"Huh, what's this?!"

Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the branch and said, "Could this be a branch?!"

"..."

Chu Qingci's red lips moved slightly, but she was too lazy to respond. She simply grabbed the tree branch and walked forward.

Jiang Xiaobai followed behind, his embarrassment deepening.

That's right, he ran away from Qingxin Garden because of this woman.

Unexpectedly, the way back is now being found thanks to this woman.

This is quite a commotion!

Moreover, in order to maintain the facade of blindness, Jiang Xiaobai deliberately stepped up the stairs twice when he encountered them.

As they passed the corner, Jiang Xiaobai even reached out and touched it.

But during this time, he looked at Chu Qingci with some doubt.

He felt like he had seen or heard that figure and that woman's voice somewhere before.

Soon, the image of that esteemed master at the lakeside pavilion appeared in Jiang Xiaobai's mind.

The more I look at it, the more it resembles the real thing.

Could this woman before me be, by some strange coincidence, that extraordinary person?!

But he was still pretending to be blind and too embarrassed to ask, so he could only obediently hold onto the tree branch and follow behind Chu Qingci.

After walking a distance, Chu Qingci suddenly slowed down.

Jiang Xiaobai was staring at the person's back when he almost bumped into them. He quickly stopped, then pretended nothing had happened: "Hey, miss, why did you stop?"

"arrive!"

Chu Qingci's voice rang out as she released the branch from her hand, saying, "Junior Sister, the person has been brought back!!"
