Bai Zhi: "...Didn't we agree to stop this first?"

Gu Yan looked at his nose with his eyes and looked at his heart with his nose: "I can stop asking questions, but it is hard to stop worrying."

Bai Zhi: "..."

She had finally managed to stop this!

"Here, here, here." Bai Zhi slapped the letter into Gu Yan's arms and said helplessly, "It's up to you. Don't damage it. Although he is Miss Bai Zhi's good friend, he is also my good friend now. I don't think we will meet again in this life. I want to treasure the letter."

Gu Yan asked: "Then the letter I wrote to you..."

She used them all as firewood. Bai Zhi tried to find an excuse: "Isn't that a secret letter? How can I keep it?"

"That's right." Gu Yan couldn't hide his disappointment and picked up the letter to read it carefully.

Bai Zhi rubbed her face vigorously, and the dust in her heart became more and more intense.

Damn it, why is it so hard to endure the spring next year?

"Bai Zhi, Master Lu is truly blessed with good fortune." Gu Yan said, "This Uncle Cheng is Grand Secretary Cheng Youjing, who has long been targeted by the Dali Temple for accepting bribes for personal gain."

Bai Zhi was surprised and puzzled: "Then Lu Jiliang is not in danger, how can he be considered lucky?"

"It just so happens that Cheng Youjing is on the side of the crown prince. He has cultivated many trusted officials for the crown prince over the past six or seven years. The seventh prince is investigating the cheating in the imperial examinations and wants to target him first. Lu Jiliang just got involved and is not the crown prince's trusted confidant. Given the seventh prince's behavior, he will help suppress the matter in exchange for his loyalty, hoping that Lu Jiliang will work for him in the future."

"Can this be considered a blessing?" Bai Zhi sighed. "Lu Jiliang's young brain will definitely be wiped out by the party disputes, right?"

"No, the Seventh Prince is in need of people right now, and," Gu Yan looked at Bai Zhi and said meaningfully, "There is an old saying that goes, if one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit."

"...You mean, the Seventh Prince is preparing to seize the throne? But what if he fails?"

"He will definitely ascend the throne."

"I understand." Bai Zhi said, "You are working for the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince has been able to outdo the Crown Prince in everything recently. You are his great fortune."

Gu Yan nodded: "Not bad."

"So you were missing every day because you were going to the Seventh Prince to get advice." Bai Zhi didn't want to talk about the troubles in the court. She stretched and said in a light tone, "Come on, fight with me to loosen up your muscles. Don't hold back this time. The 100 days to heal your muscles are long gone."

Gu Yan curved his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

“Hey!” “Ha!”

Next to the bamboo forest of Yishuiyuan, Bai Zhi took off her cape and went into battle lightly, fighting with Gu Yan for more than a dozen rounds. Gu Yan used his palms to receive her punches and kicks with ease, and from time to time he would open and close his palms to strike back, finding the right amount of force for Bai Zhi to catch, without hurting her or making her feel bored.

But Bai Zhi could see very clearly that Gu Yan was still giving in to her.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Bai Zhi interrupted the fight indignantly, very angry, "You are not as strong as Qiao Wanwan, if you continue like this, when will I be able to learn internal skills? The outside world is not peaceful now, I have to take a mentally ill weak woman and two half-grown children and travel 4,000 miles. I have to rely on this kung fu to save my life. You better be serious, my life is in your hands."

Gu Yan was a little stunned: "I will definitely send someone to escort you then."

"Everything has its contingencies. It's better to rely on myself than on heaven or earth." Bai Zhi wiped her sweat and took up her stance again, with a blazing fire in her eyes, "If you let me go again, I will have to change my master!"

It’s better to rely on myself than to rely on others.

Yes, she was originally a wild weed. People like her would have lived like this all along. What I thought was good for her might have humiliated her instead. Gu Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to be filled with a biting cold wind.

Bai Zhi saw that he was a completely different person. His whole body was covered with a transparent, murderous cover that twisted the sunlight on him. The thin snow under his feet melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving no trace of water. The occasional bamboo leaves that fell an inch in front of him would be torn apart. Even Bai Zhi, who was five steps away from him, felt a little short of breath and subconsciously took two steps back.

This is internal power... This is internal power... Bai Zhi felt her blood begin to bubble and her whole body became more excited than ever before.

If you don’t learn this before you leave, you’ll be missing out!

Gu Yan took a step forward slowly.

Bai Zhi had just squatted down to prepare for the fight when she saw Gu Yan's figure flash by and a heavy palm landed on her left shoulder. For a moment, it seemed as if the world was spinning around each other, and when Bai Zhi reacted, she had already fallen to the snow.

She felt a dull pain in her left shoulder and propped herself up dazedly to look forward - Gu Yan was still there, as if he had never moved.

She was too careless.

Or maybe she was no match at all.

Bai Zhi rubbed her left shoulder, stood up again and got into position. This time she crossed her hands in front of her body, and the skin all over her body was tense - Gu Yan once said when he taught her that your eyes may deceive you, but the contact of your fists must be real.

Even now, she couldn't see how Gu Yan moved, but the beating was real. As long as she could get through the first blow, she might be able to find a chance to fight back.

There was a hint of reluctance in Gu Yan's eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and attacked.

This heavy palm strike went straight towards Bai Zhi's right shoulder, and the speed was so fast that Bai Zhi had no time to block it and was hit again. Fortunately, she had learned from the previous experience and reacted in time without taking the blow. Instead, she used the palm force to turn around on the spot, and at the same time, without any distractions in her mind, she raised her leg and kicked towards the place where Gu Yan had just stood.

As expected, the kick missed.

Gu Yan did not force her to hit him, but only struck her once each time. After more than twenty strikes, Bai Zhi's shoulders felt unbearable pain, and she trembled when she raised her hands. She clenched her teeth to show no sign of weakness, and shouted at Gu Yan to come again.

This time, before Gu Yan could hit her with his palm, she vaguely felt a gust of wind coming, so she punched directly towards the wind.

With a thud, she fell squarely into Gu Yan's palm.

"Bai Zhi!" Gu Yan's eyes lit up, and he clenched Bai Zhi's fist into his palm, his voice rising with joy, "You can catch me!"

Bai Zhi didn't expect that she actually hit it. She was half dazed and half awake when she asked, "What did I just do..."

"You should have found the trick."

"It seems, it seems, I seem to have suddenly grown a third eye."

"Eye of the Sky?"

"It's like the eyes on Yang Jian's forehead, which can see through everything in the world..." Bai Zhi exhaled and relaxed. The pain and fatigue surged up. She wanted to pull out her fist and sit on the ground to rest for a while, but Gu Yan mistakenly thought that she wanted to practice more and clenched his fist in his palm: "No, you have to rest."
