Both worlds are like dreams

"Maybe I can't appreciate his bookishness."

Xue Huang looked at Mo Xingyue, "What about you? What kind do you like? Don't think about whether you can choose it yourself, just tell me what type you like."

Mo Xingyue thought about it, and suddenly smiled seriously: "If I really have to choose, of course it would be someone like you..."

Before Mo Xingyue could finish her words, Xue Huang spat out her tea, "Puff! Cough cough cough cough... Get it straight, I'm a girl too."

"I haven't finished talking yet." Mo Xingyue took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. "I mean a man like you who lives a free and easy life."

Xue Huang breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, you and Man Qing are similar. You both want freedom."

"Most women living in this city don't have the power to choose." Mo Xingyue said calmly, as if she had let it go. If fate really couldn't be avoided, perhaps the only choice she could make was to find someone who could help Mo Ruilin in her future.

"Whether you have the power to choose or not, life must go on. Just live happily." Xue Huang smiled and comforted them, "Don't think about it. It's a rare opportunity for you to come. Let's play pitch pot."

"How about you teach me martial arts?" Mo Xingyue asked. "There are not many opportunities in the palace, so you can teach me."

"Why are you suddenly so hardworking?"

"You all know martial arts, but I'm the worst. Of course I have to be more serious so that I can protect the people I want to protect."

"Not bad! You've made progress." Xue Huang praised, "Okay, I'll teach you a set of Qinggong steps today. This is the first set of martial arts that Grandpa taught us."

"Why is it Qinggong?" Mo Xingyue and Zhao Manqing were both puzzled.

"Because grandpa said that if you can't win, you can use it to escape!"

Mo Xingyue: "..."

Zhao Manqing: "..."

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Of course, all of my Guigu Sect disciples are martial arts prodigies that only appear once in a century, so escaping is only a rare possibility. However, it is still necessary to learn Qinggong."

Zhao Manqing's eyes were full of envy. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully asked, "Princess, can I learn?" She had long heard that Guigu's martial arts were very mysterious, and it was even more rare for disciples to enter Guigu to practice. However, no matter which sect it was, they all had their own rules and would not teach martial arts to others easily. But she was so eager to see it that she couldn't help asking. "It doesn't matter if it's not possible. I'm just asking."

"Okay." Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhao Manqing was overjoyed.

Xue Huang nodded. "This set of Qinggong moves is as graceful as a startled wild goose, and as floating as the wind and snow, so it is called the Lonely Wild Goose Remnant Shadow. The deeper the internal strength, the higher the realm you can perform. I can teach you, but... your internal strength is not very high, so I am afraid you can only learn the basics."

"Is it so difficult?" Mo Xingyue raised her eyebrows.

"It's not that difficult. With your physical strength, it will be easy to climb over a wall after you learn it. But that's not the point. The point is this set of body movements." Xue Huang stood up, "Come on."

The three of them came to a spacious place, and Xue Huang put her hands behind her back, "You two come and catch me."

Mo Xingyue and Zhao Manqing looked at each other, and then they split up and grabbed the Snow Phoenix from the left and right. They both knew some Kung Fu, so they were pretty good.

However, Xue Huang's lightness skill was too powerful. She just tapped her toes and her body retreated several steps in an instant. Mo Xingyue and Zhao Manqing felt as if they could only see a residual shadow in front of their eyes.

The two people stepped forward again, only to see Xue Huang turn around and circle behind them like a wild goose.

After several rounds, the two of them didn't even touch the corner of Xue Huang's clothes, but instead they were exhausted and panting.

"This lightness skill is really amazing." Zhao Manqing said.

“As long as you practice diligently, your physical skills will improve greatly. Combined with your sword skills, if you encounter danger, escaping safely will not be a problem.” Xue Huang said with a smile.

"I want to learn." Mo Xingyue said excitedly. Whether or not he could get away was secondary. The main thing was that this Qinggong was too graceful. Xue Huang looked like a fairy in her white dress.

"Come on then." Xue Huang said with a smile.

For the rest of the afternoon, Xue Huang taught them how to practice Qinggong. Zhao Manqing's martial arts were much stronger than Mo Xingyue's. After all, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his memory was fast and accurate.

Although Mo Xingyue practiced martial arts secretly every now and then, she was very smart and quickly memorized the key points.

Xue Huang placed some low wooden stakes for them to practice on, some of which were in the water to build up their courage.

However, it is still quite difficult when they actually practice it, especially the changing of footwork. Although they remember it, their feet cannot keep up with the speed.

The two of them nearly fell into the water several times, and Xuehuang could only watch from the side and grab them when they were about to fall.

Mo Xingyue was sweating profusely while practicing, "Did you practice like this back then?"

Xue Huang smiled but said nothing. She learned it just by watching Rong Yu demonstrate it once. As her internal strength grew stronger, she practiced in the most rugged valley of Ghost Valley.

If they are not careful, they might fall and get a bloody head, but every one of them has gone through this.

Fortunately, the old man Guigu was not really that cruel. He followed Rong Yu when he was practicing Qinggong. After Rong Yu mastered it, he no longer cared about him. So from Wei Yunzhou to her, to Hua Yu and Su Linjin, Rong Yu was always there to protect them.

However, if we talk about the ones who are the best at practicing light skills, it is still her and Rong Yu. Wei Yunzhou is slightly worse, but not by much.

After practicing for an afternoon, Mo Xingyue and Zhao Manqing were both exhausted. They were as energetic as they were before the practice, but as depressed as they were after. They were so tired that they couldn't even speak. When they left, they were helped by their maids.

For the first time, Zhao Manqing sighed that it was not so easy to be a master.

Xuehuang was also quite tired, mainly because she was too tired from staring at them, so after dinner she curled up in bed and read a book. After a while, her eyelids started to droop and she fell asleep.

Gu Qinglan and Wei Yunzhou returned just after dawn. Without bothering to go home to report their safety or to return to Jinxiu Tower, they hurried to her house.

When Yun Qing woke Xue Huang up, she was still a little confused, but she quickly reacted and ran to the front hall to see what was going on.

Gu Qinglan and Wei Yunzhou had been traveling all night and looked exhausted.

A trace of heartache flashed across Xue Huang's eyes, and she hurriedly asked Yun Qing to prepare some food and hot water, "Why are you in such a hurry to come back?"
