My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Every midnight thereafter was the time for Bai Shaoqiu to practice martial arts.

He could still only lift the smallest stone pillar.

On the second day he seemed to be a little more relaxed, and he walked ten feet in one hour.

On the third day he seemed to make some progress, walking twelve feet in one hour.

On the seventh day... he was still far from being able to walk as fast as flying, but he was able to walk twenty-two meters in one hour while holding the stone pillar!

The circle of the martial arts field is eight hundred feet.

He was still far from being able to complete a circle in an hour, and even further from being able to run while holding a stone pillar, but this had already made Lao Yu and the King of Zhenxi look at him with admiration.

"It seems that what you said about him being a martial arts genius is true."

In the study of the palace, the King of Zhenxi poured a glass of wine for Lao Yu with a smile on his face, and said:

"At this rate, he could probably circle the martial arts arena within an hour in half a year."

"I remember it took the fourth child a full month to carry the stone pillar around the martial arts arena... Although the fourth child was only six years old at the time, Shaoqiu had no basic skills, yet he was able to achieve this with his tenacious perseverance."

"Besides, the fourth brother is completely different from him. The fourth brother was born with supernatural powers. So it seems that his talent is much higher than the fourth brother's!"

Lao Yu was also very puzzled!

He was just trying to get revenge for the hit on the back of his head by making trouble for Bai Shaoqiu.

The sword, Qi training techniques, and sword techniques given to Bai Shaoqiu were originally meant to fool Bai Shaoqiu.

After the kid's injury healed, he was woken up in the middle of the night and made to hug a stone pillar. This was originally just a prank played by Lao Yu.

He didn't even expect Bai Shaoqiu to be able to pick up the stone pillar, let alone take a few more steps.

He is bored.

Especially on lonely nights.

I didn’t want Bai Shaoqiu to sleep so comfortably.

He never expected that Bai Shaoqiu not only picked up the stone pillar, but was now able to walk more than twenty feet...!

What the hell!

Could it be that I was wrong? Is that guy really a martial arts genius?

But I just took his pulse, and he really doesn't have any internal energy at all!

What's the point of this?

Lao Yu drank a glass of wine, his face remained calm and his heart remained steady. He said shamelessly:

"I, Old Yu, have ever made a mistake in judging people in my decades of observation?"

The King of Zhenxi glanced at him, "But I remember you also examined him when he was four years old, saying... his tendons and veins were too weak, and his body was born with a cold constitution. He would never be able to practice martial arts in this life."

Lao Yu calmly put down his glass and said, "Everything in nature is constantly changing."

"The four seasons cycle."

"Flowers bloom and fade."

"Humans are in nature and naturally follow the laws of nature... Therefore, Taoism believes that humans will also change with time or changes in the environment."

“Nothing in the world remains unchanged!”

"This kid could go from being an illiterate loser to becoming Xiling City's most talented scholar...did you expect that?"

"No one could have predicted this. This is one of the ways people change."

"It's the same with martial arts training!"

"He didn't have the conditions to practice martial arts before, but I never said he didn't have the talent for it!"

“Talent and conditions are different!”

"Now, as time goes by, he has the conditions to practice martial arts. His talent for martial arts has always existed!"

"So... his future is promising!"

The King of Zhenxi laughed, "Then his future in martial arts will be in your hands."

"I'm going out for a trip."

Lao Yu was startled: "Where are we going?"

"Dasan Pass!"

"Those blind barbarians are here again?"

"no,"

The Prince of Zhenxi took a sip of wine and looked up at Lao Yu: "You said... Shang Junhou is not in the red building of Xuanjingsi, where could he have gone?"

Old Yu then sat up straight again and pondered for a few breaths, "Shang Shan is already in the Red Mansion of the Xuan Jing Division, taking up the temporary position of the headmaster... It seems that old Shang Shu really intends to hand over the Xuan Jing Division to his foolish grandson."

"He deliberately retired... perhaps he went to the North."

The north is the area bordering Beiliang.

When the Northern Liang god of war Liang Yuai returns, the first thing he does is to station 100,000 troops in Nanfeng City.

These days, he personally led 20,000 elite cavalrymen from Northern Liang to train in Akinoyuan, and from time to time they trained at the Yinma River on the border between the two countries.

Even his cavalry occasionally crossed the Yinma River.

The most outrageous time was when he crossed the Yinma River and headed straight for Beigu City in Xingguo!

He is lined up under the city of Beigu!

They set up tables and chairs in front of the Xingguo defenders on Beigu City and drank all night!

He left the next day.

Before leaving, he shot an arrow at Beigu City!

There was a letter on that arrow.

There was only one line in the letter:

"Is the tree still old? Can it still be eaten?"

Shang Junhou is already sixty years old, a full ten years older than Nian Yuai.

He is indeed old.

As for how many bowls of rice he could still eat, the King of Zhenxi didn't know, and Old Yu didn't know even more.

But Shang Junhou had been hiding in the courtyard of Yu Xuanjingsi for these years and rarely left the house. This time he left quietly. In Lao Yu's opinion, he must have gone to Beigu City.

He probably wanted to take another look at his old rival Nian Yuai!

But the King of Zhenxi shook his head.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the window, looking at the unknown flowers that had bloomed outside the window at some point in time. He was silent for a long time.

"I think he might be heading towards Xiling City!"

Old Yu was stunned. "What is he doing here? Is it just for those twelve small bronze mirrors?"

"No, he probably wants to see me!"

"...What's so good about you?"

The King of Zhenxi turned around, grinned, and walked out:

"Among the twelve disciples of the old man, I was the most handsome!"

"Teach Shaoqiu well, protect Shaoqiu well, this is the only thing we can do for the old man!"

"Three days later, I'm going hunting in the Western Wasteland... If you have time, go to the Silver Hook Casino and tell He Yingou that I'm going to need some silver."

"A lot of silver!"

"Why not Qian Sheng?"

The King of Zhenxi murmured for three breaths: "The eldest princess... her heart is hard to predict!"

……

……

Bai Shaoqiu didn't know that he had been secretly protected by someone.

Ever since he had been carrying a stone in the martial arts field in the middle of the night, his schedule had become increasingly tight.

I want to write "A Dream of Red Mansions".

You need to practice the "Supreme Qigong Art".

You also need to practice the sword technique of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One".

Practice archery too!

To eat,

You also need to sleep.

This day was so fulfilling that He Xiaofeng had to re-examine himself——

He always thought that he was diligent in practicing martial arts.

But after seeing Bai Shaoqiu's diligence, he suddenly realized that his self-proclaimed diligence was simply no match for Bai Shaoqiu's.

This guy only slept for two hours a day at most!

But his spirits seem to be getting better and better!

Well... he seemed a little sluggish in the past few days, but he seems to have been reborn in the past two days.

The whole person looks more refined, and there seems to be a hint of divine light in his eyes.

Could it be that this supreme skill, "The Supreme Qi Training Technique", has taken effect?

Or does holding a stone produce a different effect?

He Xiaofeng was no longer able to practice his internal strength again, but he felt that he could hold a stone.

"I'll go with you to the martial arts arena tonight."

"Okay, get ready, we'll go out this afternoon."

He Xiaofeng was stunned: "Where are we going?"

"Hundred Herb Garden!"
