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

"Wow, are you a dog?"

Jiang Xiaobai quickly took a step back, rolled up his sleeves, looked at the row of clear teeth marks on his arm, and then glared fiercely at Helian Zhaoyue.

This woman actually bit me?

And judging from these teeth marks, they showed absolutely no mercy!

Helian Zhaoyue snorted coldly, then spat to the side, her face full of disgust, and said, "Young Master, I truly admire your scheme this time!"

"But Bei Yu is not so easily defeated!"

At this point, Helian Zhaoyue's gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai: "You can win once, and you can win twice!"

"But I, this princess, do not believe you can keep winning!"

"Oh……"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly and rolled up his sleeves again: "Actually, I also want to lose once!"

"But alas, my strength doesn't allow it!"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue's chest heaved once more.

Seeing Helian Zhaoyue's annoyed expression, Jiang Xiaobai's smile deepened.

Looking up and glancing outside, Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, "The weather's quite nice today!"

"How about I take your delegation from Beiyu and Qi out for a stroll?"

"I'm not going!"

Helian Zhaoyue coldly replied, "Another day!"

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai was visibly stunned upon hearing this, and almost choked on his own saliva.

another day?

Although he knew what Helian Zhaoyue meant.

But for someone with modern thinking, these two words sound somewhat off.

Helian Zhaoyue noticed Jiang Xiaobai's strange expression and frowned, "What's with that expression?"

"It's nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai coughed lightly and waved his hand, "Since the princess doesn't want to go out, then forget it!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai stretched out his hand towards Helian Zhaoyue: "But... shouldn't you return my things?"

Ok?

Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "This princess has no idea what you're talking about!"

"You really don't know?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly.

What he was talking about was the desert eagle.

The night before last, he fired the final shot in order to ensure the safe departure of the Eldest Princess and Tang Ningshuang.

The desert eagle had been in his hand the whole time, but when he woke up, it was gone.

Besides Helian Zhaoyue, who else could take her away?

"have no idea!"

Helian Zhaoyue shook her head indifferently.

"Hey, without blueprints, you Northern Yu people can't figure that out!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue and smiled helplessly, "Even if you manage to replicate it exactly, it'll just be a decoration!"

Although firearms are not complicated in general, problems can easily arise if the manufacturing process is substandard.

Especially bullets and gunpowder, which are even more difficult to combine.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai had done a quick calculation and found that the gun had been used several times in the martial arts arena, in addition to the last shot fired the night before last.

Now, there shouldn't be a single bullet left in that Desert Eagle.

Therefore, even if Helian Zhaoyue took it, it would be of no use at all.

"Hmph, I, the princess, have already said it!"

Helian Zhaoyue replied coldly, "I have no idea what the young master is talking about!"

"have no idea?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "But I believe that... the princess should be carrying that thing with her, right?"

"No!"

Helian Zhaoyue replied again.

After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave.

But at that moment, Tang Ningshuang took a step forward.

Clang!

He drew his longsword and blocked Helian Zhaoyue's path.

Upon seeing this, Teng Zixiu's face instantly darkened: "What are you trying to do?"

"Nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, "I just want to take back what belongs to me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze returned to Helian Zhaoyue: "Since the princess says she didn't bring it, may I have my men... search her?"

"search?"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly.

His gaze first fell on Tang Ningshuang, then turned to the eldest princess standing beside her.

A moment later, Helian Zhaoyue gave a cold laugh: "This princess is not someone your maid can touch at will!"

After speaking, Helian Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

"However... young master, you can search the place yourself!"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai frowned immediately: "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

"hehe!"

Helian Zhaoyue sneered, "Then let the young master come!"

As they were talking, Helian Zhaoyue took the initiative and walked towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively took two steps back.

Is this woman up to something again?

Are they planning to make a fuss about the body search?

If one plan fails, try another?

Because of what happened the night before last, Jiang Xiaobai really didn't dare to touch Helian Zhaoyue casually.

"What's wrong?"

Helian Zhaoyue noticed Jiang Xiaobai retreating, and her smile deepened: "Is the young master afraid already?"

With that, Helian Zhaoyue opened her arms and said calmly, "Are you going to search me or not? If not, this princess is leaving!"

"Is the princess not going to reason with us?"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned.

"I already allowed the young prince to search himself, where is that unreasonable?"

Helian Zhaoyue sneered twice, turned around and said, "Heh, I thought the young prince was quite bold!"

"Now it seems... it's nothing special after all!"

After saying that, Helian Zhaoyue prepared to leave.

But she had only taken two steps when Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out from behind: "Your Highness, wait!"

Ok?

Helian Zhaoyue stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "Are you planning to search me?"

"No!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you believe that I only need to say one sentence to make you obediently hand that thing over to me?"

"and……"

Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly: "During this time, I will not touch you in the slightest!"

"I don't believe it!"

Helian Zhaoyue shook her head.

Whether or not to send the gift is her own decision.

Jiang Xiaobai wanted to say just one sentence and have her deliver it to him on her own initiative?

Are you kidding me?!

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Then let's make a bet. If I win, I don't ask for anything else, just give me that thing!"

"If I lose, I'll give you the blueprints for the Sand Eagle; you Northern Yu can build it however you want!"

"real?"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue's eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "Okay, then I'll bet with you!"

"Alright, then let me confirm, Your Highness, that thing really isn't on you!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "If it's not on you, no matter what I say, it's useless!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue frowned slightly and took the Desert Eagle out of her bosom.

But when she took it out, Helian Zhaoyue vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but still said, "The item is indeed with me!"

"Now, tell me, how can you get me to take the initiative...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly moved, taking a step forward and snatching the Desert Eagle from Helian Zhaoyue's hand.

"Hahaha, thank you for returning it so kindly, Princess. Then this prince will not stand on ceremony!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled as he received it.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you... weren't you going to bet with me?"

Helian Zhaoyue looked bewildered.

"Heh, now that I have the item, so... I'm not gambling anymore!"

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he walked outside without looking back.

Tang Ningshuang and the Princess were both stunned for a moment, and after regaining their senses, they hurriedly followed.

Helian Zhaoyue stood there blankly, and finally her delicate face turned bright red at a visible speed.

"Ah, Jiang Xiaobai!!"

Helian Zhaoyue's scream instantly echoed throughout the entire Court of State Ceremonial: "You're a bastard!"

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

"Waaah, Jiang Xiaobai, you just wait!!"
