39: I love my bed, I don't stay in hotels, I'm on the trending search, I'm learning [Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Sword]

He ate ten more plates. Although he was only five percent full, it would be impolite to eat any more.

An overly exaggerated appetite would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

So Bai Xuan said, "I'm full. Let's go."

"Okay, okay."

"What's next? A walk? Then a massage?"

These words seemed fine.

But Bai Xuan noticed his Good Brother's abnormality.

Her heart began to race.

Bai Xuan's mind worked quickly, deducing part of the truth, and he immediately asked, "After the massage, we'll go back to Lehan?"

"We'll see after the massage. Our stuff is still at the hotel, isn't it?"

"It's not like we can't just sleep at the hotel."

Jiang Yuxi replied, feigning normalcy.

As for Bai Xuan, he subtly refused, "I'm sorry, but I'm particular about where I sleep. I'm not used to sleeping in hotels."

"So, let's go back to Lehan."

"Oh, I see. Going back is fine."

"It's not far, anyway."

Although a little disappointed, Jiang Yuxi still agreed to Bai Xuan's suggestion.

Because she didn't want to expose herself too early, lest she alert him.

"Alright."

"Then let's arrange it that way."

After confirming, Bai Xuan and Jiang Yuxi strolled around nearby, taking a walk.

Then they found a nearby massage parlor for a massage.

After the massage, they returned to the hotel to pick up their belongings, then took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.

Home.

Although she missed today's opportunity, Jiang Yuxi was not discouraged; she felt she was one step closer to success.

Bai Xuan was her Good Brother. If he could come to Tianyi's comic con today, they could travel together in the future.

When traveling, it's impossible to go home from day to night.

As long as they didn't go home, as long as they could stay in a hotel together, she would have a chance to create opportunities, advance their relationship, step by step; she wasn't in a hurry.

An excellent hunter always needs to wait patiently for the opportunity to arrive.

As for Bai Xuan, he probably knew what his Good Brother was thinking.

However, Bai Xuan cherished this friendship, but he didn't like their friendship to change too quickly, nor did he want to spend too much time and effort on romance.

The game world was simply too captivating.

He wanted to explore the game world faster, becoming stronger step by step, becoming extraordinary step by step…

After returning home, it was already late, so he took a shower and went to bed.

However, just after Bai Xuan fell asleep, photos of Bai Xuan, short videos of Bai Xuan… quickly spread across the internet, even directly making it to the hot search.

[Zhang Daokui's Bare-faced COS!]

… … …

[Are these photos real? No Photoshop?]

[Not only is there no Photoshop, the person in the photo is even bare-faced, with no trace of makeup!]

[Really? Is it true?]

[Of course, it's real. Many tech bloggers I follow have said that these are original photos, and the person in them isn't bare-faced. Besides, the photos are so clear. If you zoom in, can you find any problems?]

[Unbelievable!]

[Ahhhhhhh!!! This Zhang Daokui coser is too handsome!!!]

[Are there any experts who can dig up information on this handsome guy?]

[Does he have a Douyin account?]

… … …

Besides these excited netizens, many MNC companies, entertainment companies, and media companies were also looking for Bai Xuan, hoping he would accept their interviews or become an anchor or artist for their companies.

Of course,

some resourceful people had already found Bai Xuan's basic information.

They even contacted Bai Xuan's classmates and teachers.

However, Bai Xuan's classmates and teachers… all reacted strongly when they saw Bai Xuan's photos.

Is this Bai Xuan?

Did Bai Xuan get plastic surgery?

But on closer inspection, it seemed to be Bai Xuan.

This shocked them even more!

This really was Bai Xuan!

The change was too great!

It was simply too exaggerated!

… … …

Bai Xuan's phone was usually on silent, so of course, no one could reach him.

But when Bai Xuan woke up, the dense stream of messages, notifications, and call logs… made his eyes change.

"?"

But after seeing the content,

Bai Xuan immediately reacted.

[Hello, Mr. Bai Xuan, I am from Xinghe Entertainment Company… We are willing to offer you a three-million-yuan signing bonus.]

[…As long as you are willing to accept an interview, you can receive a reward of thirty thousand yuan.]

[We are the directors of "Xianlu Xiaoyao"… If you want to act, please contact us.]

… … …

"At yesterday's comic con, someone took photos and videos of me and posted them online, and then I became famous… These people, like hungry wolves smelling meat, are all targeting me?"

"Tsk tsk."

"This era is really… all about flow."

Although Bai Xuan occasionally joined in the fun, he didn't want to become the fun himself.

However, Bai Xuan also knew that such excitement came and went quickly.

It's just that for this period… he probably wouldn't have any peace.

But it's fine.

As long as he didn't reply to messages, didn't answer calls, and didn't go out recently.

After a while, the hype would naturally fade.

"First, I'll sharpen my Zhenwu Sword."

"After sharpening it, I'll learn Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword, and then directly enter the game world to hunt."

"Who will be able to find me then?"

Sharpening was simple, and learning Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword was also simple.

Taking out his phone, he opened the tutorial video. Bai Xuan watched, listened, learned, and thought.

Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword, one of the Wudang sword techniques, is a treasure of Wudang and a shining pearl in the Dragon Kingdom's martial arts treasury.

It uses the Nine Palaces as its footwork foundation and the Eight Trigrams as the soul of its swordplay.

Through flowing Nine Palaces flying steps and endlessly changing Eight Trigrams sword moves, combined with twisting, rotating, and turning body movements, it forms a unique sword art system that integrates body and sword, offense and defense, overcoming skill with ingenuity, and rich in philosophy.

It is not only an efficient combat technique but also a physical culture practice that integrates Taoist philosophy, possessing extremely high fitness, health, self-cultivation, and cultural value.

Learning Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword is a profound exploration of the Dragon Kingdom's traditional wisdom and physical art.

"Nine Palaces steps, Eight Trigrams sword…"

"Feet stepping on the Nine Palaces, flexible and ever-changing, light as a feather."

"Swordplay that balances yin and yang, combines hardness and softness, changes endlessly, and is continuous…"

"The Eight Trigrams are not just eight directions, but also eight types of strength."

"This Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword is purer than Xuanmen Sword and Taiji Sword, with very little health-preserving content; although there is some, it is also used for strengthening the body."

"After all, if one's physical fitness is not up to standard, without enough strength, speed, and flexibility… one cannot perfectly perform the movements in the sword art."

"However, my physical fitness has long exceeded the standard for mastering Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Sword."

"It is precisely because of this that this sword art is very simple for me."
