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

"..."

The female students present all looked at Jiang Xiaobai with disdain after hearing his words.

Jiang Xiaobai talked for so long, it sounded like he was preaching some profound truth.

In the end… after going around in circles, he was actually praising his own good looks!!

On the contrary, the men present began to cheer continuously.

"Young Master Jiang is right. A woman's innocence is her innocence, and a man's innocence is also his innocence!"

"Yes, men should also protect themselves when they're out!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the room growing increasingly lively, Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and gently calmed it down: "Alright, this young master will now offer you all one last piece of advice!"

Once the surroundings quieted down, Jiang Xiaobai spoke up: "Flowers have their beauty, and people have their hearts. To be pleased by beauty is harmless, but to lose control because of pleasure is impolite!"

"True affection shouldn't frighten or embarrass anyone. Give your affection a sense of dignity, and leave yourself a way out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted once again.

Fan Xinghe stood to the side, stroking his beard and nodding gently.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with liking something.

However, if one loses manners and sense of propriety because of liking someone, then it is no longer a good thing.

This statement makes sense when applied to romantic relationships, and it also makes sense when applied to interpersonal relationships.

Hearing the applause around him, Jiang Xiaobai walked down from the front with a smile.

As soon as he reached Li Zhiwei's side, a gentle voice rang out: "Young Master Jiang, you'd better explain yourself!"

"That day... if you hadn't suddenly insisted on acting, I would never have said those things in front of so many people!"

"Oh, really?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Li Zhiwei with a big smile: "Did we act? I don't remember!!"

"you……"

Li Zhiwei's face flushed even more: "In short, I was just trying to cooperate with you!"

"Understood, understood!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "It's just that I wasn't paying attention and ended up getting myself involved!!"

"oops!"

Li Zhiwei stomped her foot in anger and glared at Jiang Xiaobai again.

"Ha ha!"

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was laughing, he suddenly felt a chill, and then Tang Ningshuang's voice rang out beside him.

"Jiang Xiaobai, I'm staying by your side to carry out a mission!!"

"How did it become, in your mouth, that I only went to carry out this mission because I wanted to get close to you?!"

"Come on, you... explain yourself clearly!!"

"Ahem, I was just using a metaphor!!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly.

"A metaphor, right?"

Tang Ningshuang placed her hand on the sword hilt: "I also like metaphors, but I use a sword as a metaphor!"

Jiang Xiaobai was startled, but before he could speak, he felt another sharp pain in the back of his foot.

Looking down, he saw that the princess seemed not to have noticed at all, and lifted her foot to stomp heavily on his instep.

After taking two steps, it seemed to have forgotten something, so it turned back and stepped on the ground again!

Jiang Xiaobai could only manage a wry smile at this.

Stepping on someone once is one thing, but why did this woman... come back specifically to add another kick?

The eldest princess, however, acted as if nothing had happened, wearing a bamboo hat and quietly standing next to Tang Ningshuang.

She is now a deaf and mute maid, unable to speak or scold.

Then all I can do is stomp on it a couple of times to vent my anger!

Jiang Xiaobai's bitter smile deepened.

If that were the case earlier, I wouldn't have used those three people as examples.

At this point, Fan Xinghe began to have people vote.

Without a doubt, Jiang Xiaobai's presentation won first place.

After all, what Jiang Xiaobai said earlier was laughable, but in the end he was able to come up with a reasonable explanation.

This alone is something that not everyone can do.

Jiang Xiaobai was not surprised by the result, but Helian Zhaoyue's performance made him frown.

That's right, even though Helian Zhaoyue lost, there was hardly any anxiety on her face.

Clearly, Helian Zhaoyue did not care about winning or losing this contest.

Before he could think further, Fan Xinghe took the initiative to invite the delegations from both countries to continue their tour of the Imperial College, while Jiang Xiaobai stayed behind.

"Wei'er, you two chat, I have class, I'm leaving now!"

Lin Qinrou glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, then left with a smile on her face.

Tang Ningshuang and the Princess, on the other hand, wisely walked away a little further away.

However, the two of them would still glance in their direction from time to time.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay any attention to this. He took Li Zhiwei's hand and walked slowly along the path of the Imperial College.

The sun was shining brightly, and one could occasionally hear students reading aloud and discussing articles.

The two held hands, and for a moment they felt an indescribable sense of ease.

After walking for a while, Jiang Xiaobai led Li Zhiwei to a pavilion and sat down.

"noob!"

Li Zhiwei looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said seriously, "I have a feeling that the delegations from both countries came here for more than just the border city!"

"Especially since Bei Yu and your Zhenbei Marquis's mansion have been enemies for generations, you must be very careful!"

"I know!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded softly and gently grasped Li Zhiwei's delicate hand: "Don't worry, even for your sake, I can't let anything happen to me!"

"what?"

Li Zhiwei blushed again and quickly pulled her hand back.

Then, as if remembering something, she glared at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Then tell me, between the two of us, who likes whom, and who's crazy about it?"

"Of course it's you!"

Jiang Xiaobai answered without hesitation: "The fact that they waited for me at the Imperial College for two days is enough proof!"

"No way!!"

Li Zhiwei said, embarrassed and annoyed, "I went back yesterday, but... but this morning, I came back again!"

"oh oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized, "So, you missed me terribly yesterday, so you came running over as soon as it was light this morning!"

"I...I..."

Li Zhiwei opened her lips, then lowered her head.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding!"

With a smile, Jiang Xiaobai gently took Li Zhiwei's hand: "It's me who loves you, loves you to the point of madness!"

Li Zhiwei paused slightly, her shyness deepening, and she murmured, "That's more like it!"

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: "What did you say?"

"Fine, if you didn't hear it, then forget it!"

As Li Zhiwei turned her head, a slight smile appeared on the corners of her mouth beneath her veil.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and didn't press further, continuing to chat with Li Zhiwei.

Half an hour later, footsteps came from afar.

The delegations from both countries, accompanied by Fan Xinghe, walked over.

Helian Zhaoyue glanced at Li Zhiwei first, then her gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai: "Young Master Jiang, we have already visited the Imperial Academy!"

"Now, shouldn't we move on to the next place?"

"Can!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded and, as he stood up, looked at Li Zhiwei and said, "Zhiwei, I'll go get back to work now!"

After Li Zhiwei responded, Jiang Xiaobai led Tang Ningshuang and the Princess, and followed the delegations from both countries toward the outside of the Imperial Academy.

After the group left the Imperial Academy and boarded their carriage again, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue sitting opposite him and asked, "So, where are we going next?"

"Let's take a stroll through the royal gardens!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "I've heard there's a master there!"

"Little tune, you seem to play it quite well?"
