Huang Yaoshi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard what Ji Boying was saying.

Ji Boying chuckled twice.

Ignoring Huang Yaoshi, he simply flicked his palm towards the open space in the distance.

However, the palm strike left a mark two feet to the left.

Then, with a sudden turn of his head, he saw Huang Yaoshi with his head bowed, eyes wide, staring intently at the palm print.

Seeing Ji Boying suddenly turn around, he immediately resumed his nonchalant demeanor, but it was too late.

Feeling ashamed and angry, he could only grit his teeth fiercely.

"You've improved your skills, kid. You're such a scoundrel, always fawning over me before you turned arrogant!"

Ji Boying burst into laughter.

"Oh dear, my dear Uncle Huang, you are known as the Eastern Heretic, do you still care about this?"

Despite this, his skill had indeed improved, giving Ji Boying the confidence to act as he pleased.

"I'm not a petty person. Let me show you how I actually faked the White Rainbow Palm."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, stretched out his sleeve, and pulled out a ball of silk.

With just one glance, Huang Yaoshi immediately understood.

"This can no longer be considered Empty Palm Strike."

"Although it's not the Empty Palm Strike, it's still a very powerful martial art. It was this that made Ouyang Feng suffer such a humiliating defeat."

Ji Boying had this inspiration when he was thinking about the White Rainbow Palm Force, which Bend and Straighten as Desired.

There are three sources of inspiration.

One is Dugu Qiubai's Soft Sword. Since the force of a palm strike is difficult to change, one can attach the force to the Soft Sword, thus creating endless variations.

Secondly, during his conversation with Huang Yaoshi, he mentioned the Dragon Capturing Skill, which can capture people at a height of six or seven zhang.

That was a forgery made by Ding Chunqiu using an extremely fine and tough silkworm thread.

Silk can grab people, and naturally, one can also use silk to exert force, creating a kind of skill like Flowing Cloud Sleeves.

Ji Boying then arranged for Lu Guanying to find some high-quality, tough silkworm silk.

The silk is tucked into the sleeve.

There's no need to weave the silk into ribbons; just a few thin strands of silk can be used to imitate the veins in an arm.

In this way, without careful observation, and with the palm force disturbing the air and distorting the light, it would be difficult to discover these few silk threads hidden inside.

Hang your palm force on the silkworm silk, and use the silkworm silk to change the direction of your palm force.

Furthermore, because the internal force has a source, it will not dissipate so quickly in the air, thus ensuring its power within a range of four or five zhang.

Although Ji Boying had no experience using soft weapons, he happened to be practicing a White Python Whip Technique in the lower volume of the Nine Yin Manual.

By combining inspiration with actual kung fu, the White Rainbow Palm Force was fabricated.

He caught Ouyang Feng off guard by taking advantage of his Bend and Straighten as Desired and his greatly increased length.

The principle has been explained clearly. For an expert like Huang Yaoshi who uses the Empty Palm Strike technique, there is naturally no need for further explanation, nor does he bother to ask Ji Boying for the ready-made martial arts.

Ji Boying had already given Huang Yaoshi second volume of the Nine Yin Manual, and also a copy of the Iron Palm. However, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was Hong Qigong's skill, so it couldn't be given away casually.

Even someone as proud as Huang Yaoshi would never want that.

Peach Blossom Island already possesses the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm and the Jade Wave Palm. With the addition of these two palm techniques and the Empty Palm Strike, Huang Yaoshi, after some study, might be able to develop his own new Empty Palm Strike and pseudo- White Rainbow Palm Force.

Ji Boying was naturally quite looking forward to this.

Perhaps soon we will see a kung fu style that is not in the original work.

Upon returning to the Guiyun Manor, before long, Ying Gu had already returned carrying Qiu Qianren's head.

Upon seeing Ji Boying, he knelt down on both knees without saying a word and performed the grand ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows to Ji Boying.

"Alright, get up."

"Over the years, you have misunderstood Emperor Duan, and you have always wronged him. Now that the truth has come out, you have avenged yourself, and it is time to apologize to Master Yideng."

"Go and fetch some pen and ink, write this matter down in detail, and send a letter to Master Yideng to apologize. You are my disciple, so make a copy of my internal energy cultivation and swordsmanship as an apology gift and send it with you."

Ying Gu couldn't understand Ji Boying's other intentions. She thought it was just a simple apology, so she bowed to Ji Boying twice with gratitude.

"Your disciple obeys."

As things progressed smoothly, Ji Boying couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Ji Boying still coveted the Prenatal Skill and the One Yang Finger Divine Skill.

Master Yideng was truly an honest man.

He had originally practiced Wang Chongyang's Prenatal Skill, but now no one in the Quanzhen Sect knows it. He wanted to pass it on, but no one was qualified to practice it.

Because of Ying Gu's situation, he had to hide in Tibet and suffer for one or two decades.

The death of that baby almost became a mental obsession for Master Yideng.

Now that Ji Boying has mediated and killed the real enemy, resolving their grievances and entanglements, Master Yideng is naturally grateful.

Ji Boying asked Ying Gu to write down the whole story, so that Master Yideng could see Ji Boying's contribution.

So what could Master Yideng offer as a gift of thanks?

In particular, Ji Boying deliberately increased his stakes, offering his internal energy and swordsmanship along with his skills.

Even if Master Yideng says that he doesn't covet other people's kung fu, doesn't think he needs to apologize, and says that he didn't see those martial arts, can that really explain things clearly?

Ji Boying is truly a bad person with malicious intentions. Even a gentleman can be deceived by reason, but he deliberately bullies Yideng, an honest man.

After Ying Gu wrote down the whole story in detail, covering dozens of pages and packing it into a thick letter, Ji Boying told her not to deliver it herself, but to have Lu Guanying arrange for a reliable person to deliver it.

Ying Gu's value hasn't been fully utilized yet; she still needs to be kept to go to Peach Blossom Island with him so he can deal with Zhou Botong again.

Zhou Botong's Ambidexterity Technique, Empty Fist, and the first volume of the Nine Yin Manual were also things that Ji Boying didn't want to miss.

Just as I was thinking about this, someone pushed Lu Chengfeng's wheelchair back first.

As soon as Lu Chengfeng returned, he instructed his servants to quickly set up the altar and prepare tables, chairs, incense, candles, and offerings.

His men were making some arrangements in the messy peach grove, and were just finishing up when Guo Jing and Huang Rong returned, with soldiers pressing down on a Song officer behind them.

It was Duan Tiande who arrived.

Duan Tiande is a man who is good at scheming and maneuvering.

Now that he needs to help the Sixth Prince, how could he miss such an opportunity to scheme?

This almost led to their deaths. The soldiers were defeated in an instant and were at a loss when suddenly someone called out that they were looking for him.

However, it was unclear which layer of information was being passed around, and it was all a jumbled mess. The message simply stated that a former friend of his had been framed and was now trying to save his life.

This naturally delighted Duan Tiande, who then jumped out and was captured on the spot, handed over to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
