Though now Zhang was busy with his paintings, Bluebird decided to take this chance to slowly unbolt the door to his cage and to fly off. Once he had managed to open the squeaky door without alerting anyone, he expanded his wings and quickly took flight. The one thing he had learnt was that you had to take flight relatively fast, since that was the crucial moment as it would define if you would get caught or if you would escape. Thus whenever he would be taking flight, he would flap his wings in a controlled by swift manner releasing short bursts of qi which would send his nimble body flying off into the air.
