"Reckless man!" Lin Jinghan rolled her eyes at Sikong Zhan. "Who says you can only open a cage by force? You know, everything has its own rules. As long as you can identify the rules, you can find its weaknesses. That's why a mantis can shake a tree."

Sikong Zhan frowned, his shock at Lin Jinghan's words even overshadowing his curiosity about her opening the cage. He muttered to himself, "Is that so? Is the weakness hidden in the rules?"

Seeing Sikong Zhan lost in thought, Lin Jinghan smiled, looking quite relieved, then changed her posture and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

When she first fell, she was concentrating on waiting for someone to rescue her. Later, after Sikong Zhan fell, she had to stay with him. Her nerves were constantly on edge, and she was exhausted. Now, perhaps because someone was by her side, she relaxed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep...

After a long time, Sikong Zhan woke up from his meditation, used his internal energy, and started practicing on the spot.

The two internal forces in the body began to fight each other, mixed with the remaining poison, and the three forces surged in the body.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and large beads of sweat dripped down his face. He looked extremely painful, his entire body hunched over, his robes fluttering without a breeze, as his internal energy began to leak out...

After a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyes bright and satisfied as he looked at his hands - his internal strength had improved again! Moreover, although his poison had not been completely eliminated, now, even if he used his internal strength, the poison would no longer backfire.

All of this was thanks to Lin Jinghan's unintentional words, which solved his confusion of the past two years. With a sudden realization, he decided to take a desperate gamble and finally solved the cultivation problem that had troubled him for two years.

Therefore, his skills, which had not been improved for two years, finally made a breakthrough again.

Two years ago, he obtained a secret book - the Qinglian Treasure Book - from the defeated general of Nanzhao Kingdom. The martial arts recorded in it can be regarded as one of the most advanced martial arts in the world. After considering it for two days, he thought that the Qinglian Treasure Book and the martial arts he was practicing now should complement each other, so he decided to practice the martial arts above.

However, when he cultivated the Green Lotus Codex to the first level, he discovered a serious flaw in the Green Lotus Codex - it could not coexist with his original skills.

The Green Lotus Manual began to devour his original internal energy like crazy. He immediately used all his internal energy to try to expel it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't expel it from his body.

Finally, with the help of external force, he was able to barely control the backlash of the Azure Lotus Treasure Book. However, because of this, his internal strength was no longer able to increase by even a little bit.

He never gave up. He would try new methods every once in a while to solve the backlash of the internal martial arts, but he always failed.

Unexpectedly, just when he had almost no new methods to try, when he thought that the Green Lotus Codex could not be deciphered, the woman told him that by finding the pattern he could discover the weakness. He had an idea and carefully summed up the experience of every failure in his struggle with the Green Lotus Codex in the past two years, and finally he found the weakness of the Green Lotus Codex.

Finally, he succeeded. From then on, nothing could hinder his practice.

Didn't the Nanzhao Kingdom specifically take out this Qinglian Treasure Book to secretly harm him? Now that their conspiracy has completely failed, it's time for them to reap what they sowed!

Since they gave him such a good technique, if he didn't use it well, wouldn't it be a waste of their kindness?

He was in a very good mood. He turned to look at Lin Jinghan, only to find that Lin Jinghan had fallen asleep leaning against the wall.

She could even fall asleep like this? Could there be someone with a bigger heart than Doctor Ran? Sikong Zhan shook his head and walked over to her. Seeing her frown, she seemed to be sleeping uneasy. After a moment's thought, he took off his outer robe and spread it on the ground. He gently picked her up and placed her on top of the robe, adjusting her to a comfortable sleeping position.

Seeing Lin Jinghan's relaxed brows, he remembered the scene when she took the initiative to hug him. His heart warmed up, and his hand unconsciously reached out to touch her cheek - soft and smooth, a wonderful touch that made people want to touch it more.

Because he had been holding the sword for many years, there were some thin calluses on his palms, which made Lin Jinghan very uncomfortable when she was touched. She frowned and reached out to pat Sikong Zhan's hand.

Sikong Zhan was startled and quickly withdrew his hand, turned his head away, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

After waiting for a while, Lin Jinghan did not wake up as he expected. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look at her, only to find that she had turned over and fell asleep again.

Shocked to realize that he had just done something incredible, he looked at his palm, which seemed to still have the scent of Lin Jinghan.

He clenched his fists, pushed the strange feeling that was rising in his heart out of his mind, stood up and walked to the cage, touching the neat scratches on it.

After touching it for a long time, he really couldn't figure out why this was the weak point of the cage, and why a weak woman like Lin Jinghan could make such a smooth scratch.

In the end, he just thought that his observation skills were not as good as Lin Jinghan's, and he could not see its weaknesses, so he did not explore the cage anymore. Instead, he picked up the night pearl on the ground and observed the entire space here, but still could not find the mechanism.

Finally, he sat down not far from Lin Jinghan and began to meditate and practice.

Lin Jinghan woke up because she was hungry. She had been traveling for several hours, and several hours had passed after she fell. She was really hungry.

There were some dry food in the medical space, but she couldn't take it out in front of Sikong Zhan, as that would definitely arouse his suspicion.

Seeing that Sikong Zhan was actually sitting there peacefully resting, not in a hurry to find a way out, Lin Jinghan curled her lips, took out the detector, and began to detect the terrain here.

"Your Highness?" She found a way to leave here and planned to discuss it with Sikong Zhan.

"Hmm?" Sikong Zhan had already noticed Lin Jinghan's actions. He opened his eyes, stood up and looked at her.

"I've thought of a way, but it requires Your Highness to make a small sacrifice." Lin Jinghan tried her best to make her smile look sincere.

"Tell me about it." Sikong Zhan was a little surprised: this woman could really bring him surprises. He had been looking for a solution for so long and couldn't find it, but she just fiddled with something for a while and actually found a solution!

"The hole I fell into is completely open for us to escape, but we need to overcome two difficulties:

First, we are quite far from the ground. I have climbing tools, but my strength is insufficient. I need the prince to lead me up.

Secondly, the thing blocking the hole is made of the same material as the cage. I can cut it open, but you have to make sure it doesn't hit us when it falls.

..."

She outlined her plan and finally said apologetically:

"I believe that with Your Highness's abilities, accomplishing these tasks will not be a problem. However, if you use your internal energy, the remaining poison may backfire. But I promise..." I promise to cure you.
