Chapter 151

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. She had already chosen the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》, so why didn't she cultivate it?

Could it be that he was afraid of her cultivation going berserk?

Just as she was about to ask, she heard Ou Peng continue, "You choosing this internal strength cultivation method is making things difficult for me. Ai, forget it."

After he finished speaking, he beckoned Zhang Chengyue over and lowered his head to give him a few instructions. Zhang Chengyue's face was filled with astonishment as he listened. He couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xiaohua several times. After Ou Peng finished giving his instructions, Zhang Chengyue hurriedly left.

Ou Peng continued, "Zhang Xiaohua, your second brother entered the Misty School and became a disciple. You also obtained the internal strength cultivation method. Our Misty School has always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Your kindness can be considered to have ended. Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "Sect Leader Ou's words are incorrect. We brothers have received such great kindness from you and are very grateful. Many thanks to Sect Leader Ou for granting us our wish."

Ou Peng turned to look at Ou Yan and said with a smile, "Yan 'er, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Ou Yan chuckled and said, "Many thanks for Big Brother's good intentions. Little Sister is very satisfied."

Ou Peng laughed and said, "Alright, alright. We're family."

Ou Yan stood up and said, "Big Brother, I've wasted so much of your time. I won't disturb your discussion of the sect's affairs any longer. Little Sister will take her leave now."

Ou Peng said, "Alright. Quickly go back and rest. In the future, take care of your body."

Ou Yan said, "I know, Big Brother."

After she finished speaking, Ou Yan called Zhang Xiaohua and He Tianshu, who had been watching the show for half a day, and together they left the meeting hall.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her second brother, who had deeply buried his joy and was looking at her with gratitude. She smiled and nodded. She patted her chest, indicating that she hadn't come out empty-handed. Only then did she follow behind He Tianshu, who seemed to have lost his soul, out of the meeting hall.

The three of them had just passed through several courtyards and were about to enter the garden when they heard someone call out from behind, "Manor Lord Ou, please wait."

Ou Yan and the others stopped when they heard the voice. When they turned around, they saw someone chasing after them from afar. When they got a closer look, they saw that it was Ou Peng's eldest disciple, Zhang Chengyue.

As they approached, Ou Yan asked, "Cheng Yue, is there anything else your master needs?"

Zhang Chengyue bowed and said, "Manor Lord, please wait for a moment. Master has something to give to Zhang Xiaohua."

Hearing this, Ou Yan and the others were puzzled. Zhang Chengyue saw that they didn't understand and didn't explain. He smiled and took out a few thin sheets of paper from his chest and solemnly handed them to Zhang Xiaohua. He said seriously, "Zhang Xiaohua, this is the first three levels of the 'Ethereal Steps' cultivation technique that I obtained from the library under my master's orders. I'm giving it to you now. The first three levels of the 'Ethereal Steps' cultivation technique doesn't have a high requirement for internal energy. I reckon that you will be able to cultivate it. However, you must remember that the 'Ethereal Steps' cultivation technique, as well as the 'Carefree Heart Sutra', can only be cultivated by you. Without the consent of the Misty School, you cannot pass it on to anyone else. You also cannot lose this cultivation technique. Otherwise, my Misty School will punish you according to the severity of the case, or even abolish your martial arts."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and asked, "What kind of cultivation technique is this' Ethereal Steps'?

Why are the requirements so high? I don't know any internal energy and have never learned any footwork techniques. How should I cultivate it? "

When Zhang Chengyue heard this, he continued to smile and said, "Master has said that if you have any problems cultivating this' Ethereal Steps', you can ask He Tianshu of the Pharmacy Hall."

Then, he turned to He Tianshu and said, "He Tianshu, you heard what I said to Zhang Xiaohua just now, right?"

He Tianshu nodded his head reflexively. This guy was still jealous of Zhang Xiaohu's luck and naturally didn't hear it clearly. However, he still said, "I heard."

Zhang Chengyue continued, "What I said just now also applies to you. Do you understand?"

He Tianshu was still at a loss and said, "Alright, I understand …"

Before he finished speaking, He Tianshu suddenly came to a realization and was overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed to Zhang Chengyue and said, "He Tianshu of the Pharmacy Hall understands. May Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang convey this disciple's gratitude to the Grand Sect Master for his grace."

Zhang Chengyue nodded and said, "I will definitely convey your gratitude. This is what you deserve. Alright, Manor Lord, this disciple will take his leave."

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Ou Yan and left.

Zhang Xiaohua, who was at the side, saw He Tianshu's grateful appearance and couldn't understand. She tugged on his sleeve and pulled him back from looking at Zhang Chengyue's departing figure. The gratitude in his eyes didn't diminish and she asked in confusion, "Team Leader He, he has already gone far. Don't be so grateful. He can't see it."

He Tianshu turned back. His heart was still surging and his eyes were wet. He said to Ou Yan, "Manor Lord, I didn't protect you well last time and caused you to be injured. I thought that I was already being lenient by not being punished. But now, I have been bestowed with such an opportunity. This is something that I would never have dreamed of."

Ou Yan smiled and comforted him, "Your Sect Master has always been fair in his rewards and punishments. Your contribution in the ambush last time wasn't small. If it weren't for you, the situation would have been very different. Perhaps your Sect Master hasn't thought of how to reward you.

Now that you have an opportunity, you can cultivate with Zhang Xiaohua. "

He Tianshu repeatedly said modestly, not daring to claim credit.

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. She poked her head out and asked, "Team Leader He, what's so good about this footwork? Is it very powerful?

How is it compared to the Carefree Heart Sutra? "

When He Tianshu heard this, he smacked Zhang Xiaohua's head and said sternly, "One of the three divine techniques of the Misty School. Do you think it's powerful or not?

I don't know how good your Carefree Heart Sutra is, but looking at the expressions and reactions of the people in the meeting hall, I reckon it's just a trash technique. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was instantly discouraged. She said dejectedly, "But, this is also a mental cultivation technique from the second floor. It's better than those ordinary ones from the first floor."

Of course, there was one more thing that he didn't dare to say, "Moreover, this book was taken from the third floor."

He Tianshu said, "If it was a good mental cultivation technique, would our Sect Master still need to ask Eldest Senior Brother to give you this Ethereal Steps?"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood what Ou Peng was talking about.

Zhang Xiaohua said helplessly, "Then I can only cultivate this trash technique."

However, she immediately mocked herself, "It's still better than the ordinary mental cultivation techniques in the pugilistic world."

When Ou Yan heard this, she comforted her, "Don't think too much. I'll ask Big Sister Qin and the others later."

Subsequently, the three of them passed through the small door and returned to Huan Xi Manor.

After hearing Fourth Master Wen's words, Escort Leader Luo of the Lotus Escort Agency was very upset. His expression was gloomy and uncertain. However, he had no choice but to go to Zhang Xiaohu's small courtyard and wait at the door of his house. As he paced back and forth, he regretted it. He didn't regret speaking ill of others behind their backs. Instead, he regretted that he didn't expect Huan Xi Manor to stand up for Zhang Xiaohua. In his opinion, Zhang Xiaohu and his brother were just country bumpkins who had come to Ping Yang City less than a year ago. Zhang Xiaohu was lucky enough to exchange Zhang Xiaohua's injury for an opportunity to cultivate internal strength in the martial arts school. He also received some private promises from Fourth Master Wen. On the other hand, despite Zhang Xiaohua's injury, he didn't see any loss to Yu Deyi. Huan Xi Manor also didn't stand up for Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, Escort Leader Luo thought that Zhang Xiaohua was just a pushover.

In principle, it was reasonable for him to ask Zhang Xiaohua to pay for the meal. If Zhang Xiaohu paid for it, it would naturally make them feel uncomfortable. If he didn't pay, of course, he could make irresponsible remarks in front of Fourth Master Wen. Even if Fourth Master Wen wanted to protect Zhang Xiaohu, he couldn't do anything about it.

Things developed according to his own track. Fourth Master Wen had no choice but to call Zhang Xiaohu to confront him and urge him to pay the meal. However, there was a fly in the ointment. Zhang Xiaohu actually paid the meal first, which made Fourth Master Wen seem like a petty person. However, these flaws couldn't obscure the beauty of jade. It was just that the final outcome was out of his control. Huan Xi Manor actually stood up for Zhang Xiaohua for such a small matter!

Even the manor lord of Huan Xi Manor was angry for less than a tael of silver. Although Escort Leader Luo didn't know the specific reason, he still felt that there were some risks involved in backstabbing people. It was better for him to do less in the future.

As for obtaining Zhang Xiaohu's forgiveness, he was still very confident. He was an old man of the Lotus Escort Agency, and a Escort Leader at that. Zhang Xiaohu was just an escort. If he wanted to continue working in the Lotus Escort Agency, he would definitely accept Escort Leader Luo's apology.

Unfortunately, Escort Leader Luo paced back and forth in the small courtyard countless times. The sun was already high up in the sky, but there was still no sign of Zhang Xiaohu. Escort Leader Luo lost his patience and told the escort who was peeking at him to ask Zhang Xiaohu to come to his place when he returned. He then walked away with his hands behind his back, muttering as he walked, "Isn't he just an escort?"

However, even though it was already dusk, Zhang Xiaohu still didn't come to look for Escort Leader Luo.

Escort Leader Luo was a little angry. This Zhang Xiaohu was really putting on airs. Did he really want him, the Escort Leader, to apologize to him?

Just as he was thinking, he saw an escort run over in a panic. He entered the door and shouted, "Escort Leader, it's bad, it's bad."

Escort Leader Luo saw this and scolded, "What's bad? Why are you so flustered?

Is the sky falling down? "

The escort smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Escort Leader, it's just that Zhang Xiaohu has returned."

Escort Leader Luo's frown deepened. He said, "Didn't you tell him that I asked him to come over?"

The escort said, "I told him that. That's why I said something bad happened."

"Then why?" Escort Leader Luo asked curiously.

The executioner replied, "Just now, I saw Zhang Xiaohu return to the small courtyard. I quickly told him that you had been waiting for him all morning, but he didn't appear. When you left in the afternoon, you instructed him to quickly come to your residence to look for you when he returned."

Escort Leader Luo spat and scolded, "Why can't you speak properly?

Why did you say that I waited for him all morning?

Just tell him to come find me. Why do you have so much nonsense to say? "

The escort continued, "Yes, this lowly one deserves to die. I don't know how to speak well.

However, Zhang Xiaohu ignored him and entered the room with a smile. This lowly one found it strange. I walked to the door and saw Zhang Xiaohu packing his things. I asked him what he was doing.

What do you think he said? "

Escort Leader Luo said, "How would I know why he's packing?

It can't be that he's quitting the escort agency, right? "

The escort called out in surprise, "You're so smart, Escort Leader. No wonder you're the Escort Leader. That's what he said.

That's why I hurried over to report it to you. "

"What?

He quit? "Escort Leader Luo cried out in surprise and stood up from his chair.

He pushed the escort away and rushed out of the door.

The escort leader watched Escort Leader Luo's figure disappear quickly and said self-deprecatingly, "This Escort Leader's lightness technique is quite impressive. However, the sky hasn't fallen yet. There's no need for him to quit so quickly."

By the time Escort Leader Luo arrived at Zhang Xiaohu's room, Zhang Xiaohu had already finished packing.

Escort Leader Luo entered the room and immediately asked, "Zhang Xiaohu, I heard that you don't want to work at the escort agency anymore?"

Zhang Xiaohu saw that it was Escort Leader Luo and smiled, "Yes, Escort Leader. I've already completed the transaction with Fourth Master Wen at the accounts office. I came back to pack up and prepare to leave."

Escort Leader Luo frowned, "You've completed the transaction with the accounts office?

Don't leave any loose ends. "

Zhang Xiaohu said, "Don't worry, Escort Leader. I've already completed the transaction a few days ago. I've only collected my monthly salary today. We're even now."

Escort Leader Luo said, "Actually, I'm just stating facts about your younger brother's matter. You know that I've always been considerate of the escort agency, not just you …"

Zhang Xiaohu interrupted Escort Luo and said, "I know what you're thinking, Escort Luo. This matter is already in the past, so let him go."

Escort Leader Luo said happily, "So, Zhang Xiaohu, you've forgiven me?"

As he spoke, he took out the ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu, saying, "Then take this back."

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and looked at Escort Leader Luo. He pushed his hand back and said, "Escort Leader Luo is wholeheartedly devoted to the public, so this one must fulfill your wish and act according to the rules. This one will naturally listen to Escort Leader Luo. As for whether or not you've forgiven me, I'm sure Escort Leader Luo is overthinking things. How can this one complain about the rules?

I've already paid my younger brother's food expenses to the accounts office. Now that I've completed the transaction, there's no reason for me to take it back.

These ten taels of silver were given by Huan Xi Manor. What does it have to do with me?

If Escort Leader Luo wants to take it back, you should look for Huan Xi Manor. It's not right for you to look for me. "

Escort Leader Luo didn't seem to hear him and kept pushing back. In the end, Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to put the silver on the table, saying, "Escort Leader Luo, why do you have to make things difficult for this one?

Just leave the silver here. "

Escort Leader Luo said helplessly, "Fourth Master Wen said earlier that I must obtain your understanding no matter what."

Zhang Xiaohu smiled, "Didn't I say just now? This one has no complaints about the rules that are beneficial to the escort agency. There's no need to talk about understanding.

Moreover, Fourth Master Wen didn't mention this when I bid farewell to him. There's no need for Escort Leader Luo to take it to heart. "

Escort Leader Luo's heart leaped when he heard this. He said with a smile, "In that case, I'll take it as your understanding.

Actually, Zhang Xiaohu, you're doing well in the escort agency. Why did you suddenly resign?

I was thinking of waiting for you to work well for a few more years before suggesting to Fourth Master Wen to let you become an escort. We'll work well together in the future and let you continue to be my assistant. I'll train you well.

With your departure, the escort agency will lose a good person. What a pity. "

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Escort Leader Luo. It's a pity that this one doesn't have the fortune to enjoy it."

Escort Leader Luo patted Zhang Xiaohu's shoulder, "It's alright, Zhang Xiaohu. You'll always be my best assistant. I'll always keep the door open for you. If you're not doing well outside, you can come to me anytime. I'll definitely put in a good word for you to the head escort."

Zhang Xiaohu cupped his hands again, "Alright, I'll remember your words, Escort Leader Luo. This one will take his leave now. If there comes a day when this one doesn't do well in the Misty School, I'll definitely come back to look for you. I hope Escort Leader Luo can give this one some food to eat when the time comes."

After that, he picked up his bag and went out without looking back.

Escort Leader Luo smiled as he looked at Zhang Xiaohu's back, "No problem, Zhang Xiaohu. If you don't do well in the Misty School in the future, feel free to look for me …"

"What?

Misty School?! "Escort Leader Luo finally realized what was going on.

At this moment, the escort from before slipped in and said to Escort Leader Luo, "Escort Leader Luo, I just received news from Yu Deyi and Yu Lun from the martial arts dojo that Zhang Xiaohu got lucky and was accepted as a disciple of the Misty School. Yu Deyi and Yu Lun both went to drink to drown their sorrows."

Slap! Escort Leader Luo slapped the escort's face and said sternly, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Didn't I just find out and come to tell you?" The escort covered his face and said with grievance.

"You …" Escort Leader Luo stomped his foot and pointed at the man. He didn't know what to say. He picked up the silver on the table and ran out of the room as if he wanted to chase after Zhang Xiaohu.

However, Zhang Xiaohu had already mounted his horse and ran off with the other disciples of the Misty School.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua of the Huan Xi Manor was sitting in her room. A sky-blue booklet was spread out on the table, and beside it were a few thin pages of paper filled with writing.

Needless to say, it was the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》 and the first three levels of the 《Ethereal Steps》.

Zhang Xiaohua first picked up the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》 and skimmed through it. She had never seen an ordinary inner force cultivation method before and didn't know what it was like. However, although she didn't read through the contents of the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》, she could understand that it was divided into eighteen levels and each level had a specific chant and taboo for cultivation. It didn't look like there was anything wrong with it, but she didn't understand why Ou Peng said that he didn't know how to cultivate it.

Could it be that this was an incomplete cultivation technique?

Or was it a cultivation method that could easily lead to cultivation deviation?

Just as she was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
