My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Gulp!"

Looking at the wooden box in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, all the martial arts figures present swallowed hard, their faces filled with disbelief.

No.

This...this is what you've brought out?

So many people tried, but they couldn't even budge that knife.

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, set up a frame, put on an iron chain, and then with a flick of his finger, the knife actually came up.

What is this?

"No, he... he cheated!"

At this moment, someone realized what was happening and said, their face flushed, "So many people are helping him!"

"That's right, that's cheating. People from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion participated, how can you say he took it himself?"

Once they came to their senses, the martial arts practitioners began shouting angrily.

Although they didn't understand what was going on.

But one thing they understood was that everyone from Tianji Tower had gotten their hands dirty.

This is definitely not right!

"Okay, I'll ask you."

Jiang Xiaobai, holding the box, looked up at the people present: "Did the people from Tianji Tower... get hurt?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was speechless.

Yes, that's not true.

The people from Tianji Tower only set up the frame and strung the iron chains, but no one actually touched that knife from beginning to end.

"Does the rule say that anyone can just pick up a knife?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and continued, "Didn't I just lift it up with my little finger?"

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, and everyone's face turned red with suppressed rage.

But no one could refute it.

Because that's not wrong, Jiang Xiaobai did indeed only use one finger in the end.

But the problem is... something just doesn't feel right.

"You...you used iron chains!"

At this moment, one of them couldn't help but speak up.

"hehe!"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled softly, then looked at Liu Guanlan: "Lord Liu, does the rule of Cangfeng Mountain forbid the use of iron chains?"

"No... no!"

Liu Guanlan slowly shook his head.

As he spoke, his gaze toward Jiang Xiaobai was filled with surprise.

Yes, even now, he still hasn't completely figured it out.

A frame, a long horizontal beam.

With one hand draped in the heavy iron sword and the other hand pulling, Jiang Xiaobai pressed down with his finger, and the heavy sword was actually lifted up.

What is this thing?!

"Since the rules weren't mentioned, then I'll consider myself successful."

Upon hearing Liu Guanlan's words, Jiang Xiaobai's smile deepened: "Besides..."

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and shook the wooden box in his hand: "I've already got this box too."

"If you all feel this is inappropriate, then go and discuss it at Cangfeng Mountain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the martial arts practitioners present flushed red again.

"Go to Cangfeng Mountain?"

Who's going?

Yes, they couldn't even get through the gate of Cangfeng Mountain.

What the hell are you talking about?!

"puff……"

Zhang Xinnian stood aside, watching those people's embarrassed expressions, and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This group of people were shouting the loudest just now.

Now look what's happened, they're all mute!

Jiang Xiaobai ignored everyone else, lowered his head, opened the wooden box, and glanced at it, his expression slightly surprised.

Indeed, inside this box were three palm-sized tokens.

The token is entirely black, with the words "Hidden Edge" engraved on it.

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly; this... was an unexpected gain.

However, he did not take it out in public. Instead, he closed the wooden box and handed it to Tang Ningshuang, who was standing next to him.

"Master Liu, I'll go upstairs and wait for you!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Chang Ying and said, "Manager Chang, thank you for making this trip!"

"You're too kind, Prince Jiang."

Chang Ying shook her head.

As she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but drift back to the wooden frame.

Yes, this thing was hastily made by them.

Jiang Xiaobai's instructions came suddenly, and they simply followed them. They never expected that it would actually have such miraculous power.

It seems I can study this carefully when I get back.

Perhaps, the equipment from Tianji Tower can become another business opportunity.

Upon realizing this, Chang Ying immediately ordered her men to dismantle the frame and iron chains.

Soon, the group from Tianji Tower left, and Jiang Xiaobai did not stay on the first floor. He took Tang Ningshuang and Zhang Xinnian and went straight upstairs.

Those martial arts figures watched Jiang Xiaobai's departing figure with complex expressions.

I want to curse, but I can't.

You want to accuse him of cheating, but you can't argue with that.

But just watching Jiang Xiaobai take the Hidden Edge Token made her feel uneasy.

This feeling is truly awful!

"alright!"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Liu Guanlan coughed lightly and said, "From now on, please make yourselves at home!"

After saying that, Liu Guanlan didn't say anything more. He glanced at the woman wearing a bamboo hat behind him, then took a step and followed her upstairs.

The eldest princess, wearing a bamboo hat, showed a flicker of emotion and followed her upstairs.

A moment later, in a private room on the fourth floor, Jiang Xiaobai was sitting there drinking tea.

Tang Ningshuang stood to one side, having already put the wooden box away.

Zhang Xinnian leaned against the side, a smile still lingering on his face.

Yes, at this moment, he admired his young master to the point of complete awe.

He hadn't expected that Jiang Xiaobai would actually lift the heavy black iron sword using that kind of stance.

Although he didn't know the specific principle behind it, he simply admired it!

After all, who could come up with such an idea?

Soon, as footsteps sounded, Jiang Xiaobai put down his teacup and looked over.

Just then, Liu Guanlan walked up with the woman beside him.

After the two sat down, Jiang Xiaobai said directly, "Master Liu, it's getting late."

"What's the matter? Let's get straight to the point!"

From the very beginning, it was obvious that Liu Guanlan had something on his mind.

Now that we've obtained the Concealed Edge Token, there's no point in going around in circles anymore.

"Young Master Jiang is intelligent and possesses remarkable literary talent."

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Liu Guanlan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "I wonder... if you would be interested in joining the ranks of a powerful figure?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly.

coming.

Something did happen.

"certainly……"

Liu Guanlan continued, "If Young Master Jiang agrees, that important figure will certainly not treat you unfairly!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked with curiosity, "Then... what kind of important person is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guanlan looked at the woman.

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on the woman.

The woman gestured with her hand, and Liu Guanlan awkwardly followed suit.

The woman in the straw hat nodded, dipped a finger in the tea, and then slowly wrote three characters on the table.

Liu Guanlan glanced at the three words, paused for a moment, and then looked puzzled, but ultimately did not speak.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it curiously, and his expression also showed confusion.

"Xiao Zijin?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked up in confusion and asked, "Wait, who is Xiao Zijing? A prince?"

He knew that there was competition among the princes.

Even if a crown prince has been established, he can be deposed at any time.

Therefore, as long as no one inherits the throne, the other princes will have a chance.

But this was the first time he had ever heard the name Xiao Zijin...
