Duan Rong guessed correctly, this secret manual was indeed personally transcribed by Xiao Baijiao.
A few months ago, after Zhao Mu's Five Tigers and Sheep Saber had achieved the Entry Level First Level of Inner Breath, he came to see Xiao Zongting to collect the secret manual for the Second Level.
According to the rules of the Yuan Shun Escort Agency, whether you're an apprentice or an intern escort master, you can only be taught the next level of the secret manual after completing one level.
Only on the day you become a formal escort master will you be taught the complete set of the Five Tigers and Sheep Saber secret manual.
When Zhao Mu came to collect it, the second level manuals transcribed in previous years had unexpectedly run out.
Xiao Zongting then had Xiao Baijiao transcribe another batch.
The one in Duan Rong's hands was exactly one from this batch.
