He Yunxiao had just let his internal energy circulate freely, releasing the internal force he had cultivated directly without keeping it inside his body, focusing solely on practicing his relatively weak aspect of controlling internal energy.
Before He Yunxiao could practice two cycles of Qi circulation, people came out of Linxuan Palace with lanterns after the lights were turned off.
Controlling internal energy requires a great deal of mental focus. He Yunxiao was so engrossed in his practice that he didn't even notice that Xing'er had already stood next to him.
