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

"Let's go, let's look around somewhere else!"

When Jiang Xiaobai and Tang Ningshuang returned to the pavilion, Helian Zhaoyue did not intend to stay any longer.

That's right, if she had known, she shouldn't have let Jiang Xiaobai write such a deeply moving piece.

Now, after listening to "Thinking of You with Sorrow," she felt incredibly heavy-hearted and hasn't recovered yet.

So for now, all I can do is go and see the scenery of this royal garden to relax.

"please!"

Xiao Jinfeng responded and took the lead.

Indeed, the music was quite powerful. After listening to it, many memories flooded his mind, and he felt he needed to go out for a walk.

After seeing this, the members of the two delegations also got up and followed the Chaoting Building out.

Jiang Xiaobai walked at the very back.

But as soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, Tang Ningshuang, who was following Jiang Xiaobai, suddenly stopped and looked back inside.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly discovered the reason: the princess had not followed.

After a pause, Jiang Xiaobai said, "Ignore her!"

After hearing this, Tang Ningshuang nodded slightly and followed Jiang Xiaobai ahead.

After the group left completely, the courtyard fell silent again.

The eldest princess sat there, her gaze fixed on the direction of the small island in the middle of the lake.

Not long after.

A white figure swept across the lake, and after a few leaps, slowly landed inside the courtyard building.

The woman in the white dress walked in and sat down next to the princess.

Neither of them spoke immediately. After a moment, the eldest princess broke the silence: "Senior sister, what happened three years ago, you did it, didn't you?"

The woman in the white dress didn't change much when she heard this; she just looked at the calm lake and didn't reply.

"Oh!"

The princess smiled when she saw the woman in the white dress react.

Sometimes, no answer is already an answer.

Shaking her head, the princess stood up, her face beneath her bamboo hat radiating mockery: "No wonder they didn't die after falling off the cliff!"

"It seems you're not ruthless enough, Senior Sister!"

After saying this, the princess turned around and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

The woman in the white dress's voice came from behind: "Was it you who saved them?"

"Yes, someone is trying to frame me!"

The princess's voice also turned cold: "And these two are the best witnesses!"

"However, it's all thanks to Senior Sister's mercy; otherwise, they would have been dead when they fell off the cliff!"

"Impossible, wait until I send someone over!"

Where are they?

The woman in the white dress asked.

"We can't say yet!"

The eldest princess shook her head and left the pavilion.

The woman in the white dress sat there, looking in the direction the princess had left. She remained silent for a moment, then gently shook her head, got up, and left the place as well.

Jiang Xiaobai and the delegation had only walked a short distance when they saw the Princess chasing after them from behind.

Jiang Xiaobai's face showed surprise at this.

The eldest princess had just stayed there, and he thought he would be there for a long time.

And before long, they caught up!

He was curious about what the woman had done while she was there.

Could it be... that the Princess and that expert in the lakeside pavilion also know each other?

Just as he thought of this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly smiled.

He almost forgot that the eldest princess had visited Cangfeng Mountain when she was a child.

And the master in the center of the lake happens to be the sect leader of the Hidden Edge Sect.

It's not surprising that the two knew each other.

After shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Xiaobai didn't think about it anymore.

For the rest of the time, Xiao Jinfeng led the delegations from both countries on a tour of the royal gardens.

During this time, he even took them to the courtyard where the Green Robe Society was located and gave them a tour.

The Qingshan Club is even more unique, with artificial hills and a small lake in the courtyard, and many calligraphy and paintings by famous Chinese artists hanging on the walls.

The members of both diplomatic corps were full of praise upon seeing these things.

If it weren't for Xiao Jinfeng urging them on, the delegations from both countries would probably have wanted to stay and continue watching.

After the group left the Green Robe Society, Xiao Jinfeng led them around the garden. As dusk fell, they headed out of the royal garden.

Upon reaching the garden entrance, Helian Zhaoyue stopped and looked back, exclaiming, "The royal gardens of the Great Hua Dynasty are truly breathtaking!"

As she spoke, Helian Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Jinfeng again, gave a slight bow, and said, "Fourth Prince, thank you for your trouble in leading the way this time!"

"Hehe, Princess, you don't need to be so polite!"

Xiao Jinfeng waved his hand and said, "Since I'm in charge of this area, it's only right that I do this!"

At this point, a smile returned to Xiao Jinfeng's face: "Besides, I also got to hear two rare pieces of music today while I was with you!"

"In that case, my efforts weren't in vain!"

"Your Highness, it's getting late, so we'll take our leave now!"

Helian Zhaoyue spoke again, and after seeing Xiao Jinfeng nod, she led the way toward the carriage.

Jiang Xiaobai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Jinfeng, and then followed him.

As the curtain fell, the carriage slowly began to move.

"Princess!"

After Jiang Xiaobai settled in, he looked at Helian Zhaoyue and said, "Just take us back to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence!"

"When I said we should part ways, I meant we should part ways at the gate of the Court of State Ceremonial!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue glanced at Jiang Xiaobai indifferently and said, "Of course, if you don't want to hear the rest..."

"Then let's part ways at your Zhenbei Marquis's residence!!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Helian Zhaoyue frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, I am truly cunning!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue and said, "Will you say, 'I meant we'd separate inside the Honglu Temple,' when I arrive at the entrance?"

"Once I'm in the Court of State Ceremonial, you'll still say we parted ways at your doorstep!"

"When I get to your door, you'll say something else..."

Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly, then looked Helian Zhaoyue up and down: "Did you separate on my small bed?"

"Tsk tsk, wait until I sit on your little bed, hiss..."

Jiang Xiaobai gasped, looking at Helian Zhaoyue and saying, "I knew it! You had designs on me!"

"Princess, oh Princess, you are truly terrifying..."

"Then the young master doesn't have to go!"

Suppressing her anger and the urge to draw her sword, Helian Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said.

Jiang Xiaobai was surprised.

He said that on purpose.

Surprisingly, this woman is actually holding back right now.

Seeing Helian Zhaoyue suddenly staring at him, Jiang Xiaobai said, "Go ahead, even though what I'm doing is like a lamb entering a tiger's den!"

"But as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained!"

"So, I'd like to see what you, Princess... have prepared for me!!"

That's right, we parted ways specifically at the Honglu Temple.

There's something wrong with that!

But he knew he had to take that step.

Otherwise, if everyone keeps their secrets hidden, who knows when they'll be able to reveal their hand!
