Chapter Eleven Entering the Liu Manor, The Imperial Cat Takes Action

  Azure water, blue sky, vast and mysterious cloud smoke. A light boat with a black awning glides slowly over the water's surface, propelled by a punt pole. On board, two people sit side by side, one wearing blue, the other white, their sleeves fluttering in the breeze, exuding an indescribable sense of leisurely elegance. Wait, there are three people - and also a boatman punting the boat!

  "Hey, kitty, how's your study of the basic principles of internal power going?" the man in white suddenly spoke up.

  The man in blue robes let out a bitter laugh, "Brother Bai, I'm truly dull-witted and haven't yet grasped the realm of 'qi following one's will' and 'will following one's heart'!"

  "No worries, once we find that universal brother, you can fight with them. In the battle, you will surely understand, after all, your body's instincts are still there, otherwise, your martial arts would not be sometimes effective and sometimes not!" White Jade Hall smiled lightly and said, looking at his expression, surprisingly steady!

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "That's natural, but at that time, I'll still need Brother Bai to take care of me. Whatever you do, don't let Zhan die, I still want to keep my body intact to help Lord Bao!"

  Bai Yutang nodded, "Don't worry, if we find the Shangfang Treasure Sword this time, I will go to Kaifeng Prefecture to surrender myself. In the future, I will also help Lord Bao with his efforts. You're right, Cat, even if I were to perform a hundred heroic deeds as the leader of the Five Rats, it would not be as great a benefit to the people as Lord Bao punishing a corrupt official."

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Bai. By the way, Brother Bai, how are we going to find those Xiang brothers?"

  Bai Yutang opened the folding fan in his hand with a soft whoosh, gently waving it in front of him. On it was written "The Wind Flows Under Heaven" in four characters. Xian Zhao looked at it and secretly rolled her eyes!

  This stinky little brat is really a rascal! Zhan Zhao's inner voice.

  "Go to Jiangling Prefecture to find the assassin's intermediary, Liu Keyan. This person is specialized in connecting people with assassins. After finding him, we should be able to get information from him on how to find the Xie brothers!" Bai Yutang folded his fan and gently swayed it, exuding an air of elegance and refinement!

  Zhan Zhao nodded, thinking to himself that matters of the jianghu would be in good hands with this white weasel. To be honest, he was quite familiar with certain aspects of this world, but utterly clueless about others!

  Why did the plot change? Is it because of the reason why we came here?

  No, if I'm not mistaken, then there's only one explanation - this is a real world, not some TV drama or movie world. The things that happen here may not be as you think they are. This is a real world, so your own understanding of it doesn't amount to much!

  Zhan Zhao secretly let out a sigh!

  Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with a strange expression, thinking that he was worried about the Shangfang treasure sword and his own martial arts skills, but didn't think much of it and quietly sat down.

  Two days later, the two arrived in Jiangling. Bai Yutang took the lead and led Zhan Zhao on a winding path, turning left and right until Zhan Zhao was dizzy and disoriented before finally stopping.

  On both sides of the gate, there is a stone lion guarding the beast, with its claws and teeth fully exposed; looking into the courtyard again, the houses are connected, with red lacquered jade pillars, flying eaves and green tiles, towering pavilions, making people feel as if they have mistakenly entered the nine-story palace, with two large characters written above: Liu Fu!

  Zhan Zhao's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said, "This is the Liu Manor where Liu Keyan resides? It's actually so luxurious. Luxury is one thing, but it's also so eye-catching. Is Liu Keyan not afraid of the authorities?"

  Bai Yutang chuckled, "I'm telling you, Cat, haven't you been stuck in the yamen for too long? What's with this killer broker business? He didn't kill anyone himself, he just connects killers with clients and earns a commission. He didn't instigate murder, nor did he commit it personally. How can the authorities punish him?! Besides, these Jianghu affairs are beyond the yamen's control!"

  Zhan Zhao let out a faint sigh in his heart, he still had the habits of his past life. If there was such a person in his past life who bought and lived in a house with such fanfare, they would probably have been sent to prison by the police!

  "Come on, kitty!" Bai Yutang chuckled and headed straight for the Liu Manor!

  Two servants stood in front of the Liu mansion gate and stretched out their hands to block them, saying, "Halt! What do you two want to do?"

  Bai Yutang unfolded a fan in his hand with a rustling sound and said, "I'm here to see Liu Keyan!"

  Those two servants exchanged a few glances and said, "My master has not been receiving guests recently!"

  Bai Yutang sneered and said, "I, Bai Wuya, want to see someone, and there's no one I can't see!" With that, he pointed his fan at the two servants, who immediately froze in place, their arms still in a blocking motion. Bai Yutang pushed them aside with one hand, sending them tumbling to the ground without changing their posture!

  Zhan Zhao was shocked and thought to himself, "Is this really the legendary Dim Mak?"

  "Go, kitty!" Bai Yutang flashed in front of Zhang Zhao, reached out to grasp Zhang Zhao's arm, and with a light step, he had already led Zhang Zhao directly into the Liu manor!

  The Liu Mansion is in chaos!

  "Get them out of here!" a housekeeper-like person bellowed, "Dare to cause trouble in the Liu household, don't want to live, get out of the mansion!"

  As soon as he appeared, Bai Yutang smiled faintly and took a few steps back, turning around as if unwilling to see this steward-like person. He said to Zhan Zhao, "Meow, these people's martial arts are too bad, it's just right for you to practice your hands!"

  Immediately, Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao lightly on the back, and Zhan Zhao suddenly rushed out!

  Zhan Zhao burst into tears instantly, cursing in his heart, "You dead waste, I don't know martial arts!"

  Although he was secretly scolding in his heart, Zhan Zhao also knew that Bai Yutang was doing it for his own good. His current martial arts skills were unpredictable, but during his time on the Empty Island, he had discovered that this body seemed to have many innate abilities in terms of martial arts, and its dynamic vision was extremely strong!

  These people's martial arts skills are not strong, but it's just right for them to exercise themselves!

  Zhan Zhaohui's mind was racing, his brain spinning rapidly as he became extremely calm. A lawyer relies on his mouth, his brain, and a heart that is extremely calm!

  Good eloquence, more debating skills, a good mind and a calm heart can grasp the opponent's weakness and counterattack, this is the basic condition for being a lawyer!

  Zhan Zhao's eyes flashed with precision, his footsteps swift and erratic. The movements of the household guards seemed to slow down, as if time itself had been warped. With a sudden burst of speed, he struck out with the scabbard of his massive sword, aiming for the third rib of one of the guards. Simultaneously, his body spun around, his right leg kicking out in a powerful arc, striking another guard squarely on the knee and sending him crashing to the ground!

  He raised his hand to block the incoming punch, instead of retreating he advanced, his right knee lifted and struck the person's dan Tian, the giant void sword in his hand stabbed backwards into empty space, stabbing into a person's tan zhong hole, that person fell softly to the ground!

  Zhan Zhao only felt that he had entered a state where he didn't need to think about anything, his body naturally knowing how to move, dodge and attack!

  This is the instinct of the body!

  At the moment of excitement, there was also some fear. You see, what is called physical instinct is muscle memory. An action needs to be done tens of thousands of times, or even hundreds of thousands of times, to form a fixed muscle memory. Even when the brain hasn't reacted yet, the muscles will act on their own!

  Zhan Zhao's physical instincts and muscle memory were so deeply ingrained that it was astonishing to think about how much training he must have undergone to reach this level!

  Zhan Zhao's heart was as calm as an ancient well, and he eliminated these thoughts. Suddenly, he felt that the warm feeling in his dantian had started to move, gradually spreading to his arms, legs, and every inch of his body!

  One person's leg kicked over, Zhan Zhao suddenly shrank back, his body lightly jumped up, his right foot stepped on that person's calf, and he suddenly soared into the sky, his blue clothes fluttering, like a heavenly god!

  Bai Yutang's eyes sparkled with a hint of smile as he nodded silently, his mind racing with thoughts.

  As expected, this cat's bodily instincts are still intact. Although its past memories are no longer there, every cell in its body still remembers the moves, martial arts, and even internal energy from before!

  As expected, as long as this guy continues to temper himself, he will eventually become the former Southern Hero Zhan Zhao!

  At that time, Cat, I, Wu Ye, will definitely have a battle with you!

  Blue clothes fluttering, Zhan Zhao suddenly fell to the ground, long sword scabbard striking out, suddenly pointing four people to the ground!

  That housekeeper-like person's expression changed slightly, and with a loud shout, he suddenly transformed into a gray light and rushed towards Zhan Zhao!

  Danger! A word suddenly emerged in Zhan Zhao's mind, his body didn't move, his left foot as the pivot point, his right leg fiercely kicked back, with a loud crash, Zhan Zhao stumbled backward!

  That housekeeper-like person was also staggering, but just now his fist and Zhan Zhao's foot collided!

  That man's eyes flashed with fierce anger, and he pounced forward, heavily slapping a palm towards Zhan Zhao's chest!

  Zhan Zhao's expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful. The giant sword paused slightly, and with his right hand holding the hilt upside down, his left hand stretched out, colliding with that person's palms!

  At the moment when the housekeeper-like person made a move, Bai Yutang's expression became slightly solemn. From the start of the battle, it seemed that those people only had eyes for Zhan Zhao. Although Bai Yutang had slapped Zhan Zhao away, he seemed to have no presence at all, and surprisingly, not a single house servant wanted to go attack him!

  When the attack of that housekeeper-like person was blocked by Dai Zhao, Bai Yutang's expression became calm again. His eyes stared at the scene without blinking, only to see blue clothes flying and gray clothes moving horizontally, with both people seemingly evenly matched!

  However, Bai Yutang smiled lightly, and he had already seen that Zhang Zhao's moves were becoming more and more skilled, his body's instincts were also opening up, and the housekeeper-like person was gradually falling into a disadvantage!

  Suddenly those servants seemed as if they had just discovered Bai Yutang, and with a loud shout, they rushed towards him!

  Bai Yutang let out a cold snort, transforming into a white shadow that suddenly shot up. His snow-white figure seemed to flutter like an ethereal fairy as he spun into the crowd, elegant and free-flowing. His left hand extended, seemingly transformed into the Thousand-Handed Guanyin, with countless hand shadows flashing by. Bai Yutang's figure re-emerged from among the family guards!

  Only to see those family servants stiff as iron, having been struck by Bai Yutang!

  Zhan Zhao became more courageous as the battle raged on, while that housekeeper-like person was getting increasingly exhausted. If not for the help of others around him, he would have probably lost already. With a palm strike, he took advantage of Zhan Zhao's momentary stiffness and flew out!

  Taking a deep breath and just about to attack, his eyes suddenly caught sight of Bai Yutang's figure emerging from the crowd of family servants!

  In an instant, his entire face suddenly became extremely strange, like fear, like joy...

  He let out a shrill cry of despair, "Stop! Stop at once! I've seen Bailiuzi!"
