Chapter Sixteen: The Imperial Cat Can Finally Use Internal Energy

  Bai Yutang stood on the artificial hill, slightly stunned, furrowed his brow, and floated down, dodging the several spears thrust by the Taishi Fu guards. He hesitated for a moment before rushing directly into the study!

  Zhan Zhao was panting heavily, but he could feel an unprecedented clarity within himself, as if he could easily perceive everything around him. It was as if his ears were born to hear and his mouth was born to taste. This was a very mystical feeling, and he easily sensed the arrival of Bai Yutang!

  Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his head, and he stood up abruptly. The giant sword was held horizontally in front of his chest, staring steadily at Bai Yutang, with a barely perceptible flicker of his eyelids!

  Bai Yutang smiled lightly and flew out of the door, shouting "Pang Ji, today you're lucky to have the fourth-grade sword-bearing guards protecting Zhan Zhao. I'll definitely come back to this Taishi Mansion again!"

  A white shadow floated and flew, like a ghostly shadow, lightly floating over the courtyard wall, disappearing into the vast night!

  Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, stumbled slightly, and then sat down cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

  Zhan Zhao was surprised to discover that although his body felt very empty, that mysterious feeling still existed, but it had become much fainter. However, the inner strength in his body now moved with his heart's intent and was no longer as uncontrollable as before!

  Isn't this what Baigujin said, "The spirit follows one's will"? Then, what does "the mind follows the heart" mean?

  After a while, the inner force circulated and turned over Zhan Zhao's limbs, and his somewhat weak feeling disappeared. He opened his eyes and stood up from the ground!

  "Your Excellency!" Zhan Zhao clasped his fists together, just about to speak, but was interrupted by the Grand Tutor!

  "Many thanks to Zhan Huwei, if it weren't for Zhan Huwei's help this time, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. Can Zhan Huwei see who that person is?" Pang Taishi's face was solemn, looking towards the night outside the door.

  Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "Please, you ask me, I'll definitely say I don't know. Would I still offer the white rat as a sacrifice?"

  "Zhan Mou doesn't know!" Zhan Zhao said with a fist, "Not even what kind of background this person has, what moves he uses can't be seen. This person is obviously young, but, Zhan Mou is absolutely not his opponent. If he didn't leave in the end, Zhan Mou would have died at his hands. When did such a young master appear on the rivers and lakes?" Zhan Zhao's face was full of doubt!

  Although his face was puzzled, Zhan Zhao's heart was secretly laughing, my acting skills are not bad either, hehe!

  Pang Taishi's face showed shock, "Even Lian Zhan's guards are no match for him!?"

  Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I'm already very weak. If that person strikes again, I'm afraid I'll be dead within ten moves. However, my last expression deceived him, otherwise he wouldn't have left so easily!"

  Pang Taishi nodded slightly, his face somewhat pale and iron-colored, with a hint of horror in his eyes!

  "Taishi, I'm taking my leave!" Zhan Zhao said with a bow, "The Taishi's mansion has been attacked and the Taishi was almost assassinated. This matter must be reported back to Lord Bao, and the Taishi's mansion must also strengthen its defenses..."

  "Alright!" Pang Taishi came back to his senses and nodded!

  Zhan Zhao bowed with his fist, "Taishi stay, Zhan certain bid farewell!" Immediately, he turned around and walked away, the crimson official robe disappearing from Taishi's line of sight!

  Pang Taishi watched as Zhan Zhao left, his face full of wrinkles. Suddenly an idea popped up - could it be that tonight, Zhan Zhao knew that the old man might encounter assassination, so he came to the Taishi's residence? His goal was to protect the old man?

  Can't help but admire, Teacher Pang's imagination is indeed powerful!

  Zhan Zhao left the Tai Shi Fu and headed towards the Kaifeng Fu. Before he had gone far, he saw a white figure under the night sky!

  Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, hey, Bai Haozi, wearing white clothes at night and wandering around, aren't you afraid of running into ghosts? You're supposed to be dressed as an assassin, why are you still wearing a white outfit, shouldn't you change into dark clothes?"

  Bai Yutang chuckled and said, "Stinky cat, let me change into night-walking clothes. Don't even think about it. Ah yes, what happened to you in the study of the Taishi Mansion?"

  Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, the internal force in his body moved freely, covering both legs and feet. With a slight effort, he suddenly rose more than four meters high, then laughed in mid-air, "Bai brother, look, I can use my internal force now..."

  However, Bai Yutang burst out laughing loudly. Before Zhan Zhao could even think of why Bai Yutang was laughing, he let out a loud "ah" and suddenly plummeted downwards!

  Bai Yutang chuckled lightly and swung his right palm, striking Zhang Zhao's waist. With a pull, he placed Zhang Zhao firmly on the ground. Panting with laughter, he said, "You stinky cat, have you gone stupid? Or did that one time of poisoning not only make you lose your memory but also turn your brain dull? When using lightness skill, it is essential to keep the inner breath stable. Even a three-year-old knows this! You...you can barely control your internal energy freely, but as soon as you open your mouth to speak, aren't you directly leaking air?"

  Zhan Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Thanks, Brother Bai. I understand now. Let's go back to Kaifeng Prefecture. I wonder if Lu brothers have found the Shangfang Sword yet!"

  Bai Yutang smiled, "You this cat, after returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, stayed in your own room until nightfall, without even knowing the plan. I and Big Brother followed them after you left!"

  Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I actually forgot to meet with Big Brother and the others!"

  "You stinky cat!" Bai Yutang scolded with a smile, "Sometimes you're very clever, sometimes you're very foolish. After returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, after you went back to your room, I found Big Brother and the others, and we checked on the Taishi Mansion. Indeed, the guards at the Taishi Mansion had been strengthened greatly. Then when I came back, I didn't even tell you. If I'm not mistaken, you should be digesting the benefits from that battle at the Liu Mansion!"

  Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Not bad, yes, that one battle made me feel something, the internal force in my body can be mobilized, but it's very slow. Just now when I was fighting with you, I don't know what happened, I felt like there was some kind of constraint inside my body, but in the end, it burst out suddenly, and then my internal force could be freely controlled by me!"

  Bai Yutang nodded and said, "It should be your body's instincts that have finally broken through the restrictions. Go back first, as for your martial arts, there's no need to rush. Let Big Brother and the others take a look again, they will definitely let you become Nan Xiaozhao once more!"

  At that time, Fifth Master will have a fair and square fight with you!

  "Let's go!" Bai Yutang smiled, reached out and grabbed Zhang Zhao's arm, "Stinky cat, I'll take you!" Then he transformed into a white shadow, floating and drifting towards Kaifeng Prefecture!
