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

"The Eldest Princess!"

"Greetings, Princess!"

As the princess and the woman in the white dress stepped forward, many martial arts practitioners who had been sitting on both sides stood up to greet them.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaobai's expression immediately changed slightly.

It seems... the Eldest Princess wields considerable influence in the martial arts world!

However, it makes sense when you think about it, since the Guanlan Tower in the capital is managed by the eldest princess.

And what Guanlanlou does are all things related to the martial arts world.

Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the eldest princess had some reputation in the martial arts world.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was thinking this, the eldest princess, accompanied by the woman in the white dress, arrived at the head seat and sat down side by side.

This scene caused a change in the expression of many people present.

The eldest princess sat in the main seat, so naturally no one thought anything of it.

But who is that woman in the white dress beside her, sitting with the princess?

Some people who were unaware of the situation couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

However, a small number of people guessed what was going on and their expressions became serious.

Among them, Helian Zhaoyue's expression became serious.

Yes, in the current situation, the only person qualified to sit with the Princess is the Sect Master of the Hidden Peak Sect.

This person actually came too?!

After the princess sat down, she naturally heard the murmurs below, but she didn't say anything. She simply gestured gently to the maid beside her.

The maid understood what was going on, gave a slight bow, and quickly withdrew.

Before long, plates of exquisite dishes and wine were served to everyone's tables.

After the food and wine were almost all served, the eldest princess raised her wine cup: "There are no special rules for inviting you all here today!"

"Among those present are officials from the imperial court, friends from the martial arts world, and distinguished guests from the Northern Yu region who have traveled from afar!"

At this point, the eldest princess glanced at Helian Zhaoyue and continued, "However, since we have been able to gather here, it is fate. I will first offer this cup to everyone!"

After speaking, the princess raised her cup in acknowledgment.

Upon seeing this, everyone present naturally raised their glasses.

"You're too kind, Princess!"

"please!"

"..."

A series of humble voices rang out, and Jiang Xiaobai also picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

As she set down her cup, the princess changed the subject, saying, "Of course, I invited you all here today not just for drinking!"

"Actually... it's also for the Concealing Edge Order!"

After he finished speaking, those present were not too surprised.

This banquet itself is called the Hidden Edge Banquet.

With the opening of the Hidden Edge Sect imminent, the Hidden Edge Token has naturally become the most important thing.

"As everyone knows, a Concealed Peak Token only grants one opportunity to participate in the mountaineering assessment!"

The eldest princess glanced at everyone present and continued, "But..."

"If one possesses three or more Hidden Edge Tokens, even six or ten..."

"The treatment offered by the Hidden Edge Sect will also be different!"

The eldest princess did not pause, and continued, "Therefore, the purpose of this banquet to conceal our talents today is quite simple!"

"Let the Hidden Edge Orders... be concentrated as much as possible!"

Ok?

This time, the people present finally couldn't sit still any longer, and hushed discussions quickly broke out.

Should we concentrate our hidden strength?

What does that mean?

Could it be that the eldest princess is planning to issue a Concealing Sharpness Order?

"Please don't misunderstand, I have no interest in the Hidden Edge Token!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, the eldest princess smiled gently and said, "What I mean is, I want everyone to use the Hidden Edge Token as a bargaining chip in a gamble!"

"The winner takes the Concealed Edge Token!"

These words immediately sparked even louder discussions.

Many people in the martial arts world had their eyes light up.

In other words, if you have the ability, you can win more Concealed Edge Tokens from other people!

Of course, you can win, but you can also lose!

Even so, it's still worth the gamble!

After all, under normal circumstances, obtaining a Concealed Edge Token is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But today, there is a chance to get several at once!

Who wouldn't be tempted by this?

Helian Zhaoyue sat there, and her breathing noticeably changed.

His gaze had become intensely passionate.

She actually made the right choice coming this time!

Jiang Xiaobai's expression also fluctuated slightly as he listened, and he couldn't help but glance at the Princess.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that this so-called Hidden Edge Banquet seemed to be aimed at him.

Just then, Li Jingxing, who was not far away, stood up and bowed slightly to the Princess, saying, "Princess!"

"Since the Hidden Edge Token is used as the bargaining chip, then... how exactly will the bet be made?"

Are there any specific rules?

"certainly!"

The eldest princess nodded slightly, turned her head, and gestured again.

Soon, a maid came forward, carrying a wooden tray in both hands.

On the wooden tray were two Concealed Edge Tokens!

Ok?

All eyes in the room immediately turned to it.

The eldest princess picked up one of the coins and gently shook it: "Let's start this bet with me!"

"I have two Concealed Edge Tokens here. Whoever gambles with me next, and wins... will have both Concealed Edge Tokens as theirs!"

"If we lose... then the Hidden Edge Token in his possession will remain with me!"

"Of course, no matter how many coins I win, I'll bet them all, while the opponent only needs one!"

At this point, the princess paused slightly: "If I were to lose all the Concealed Edge Tokens I possess in one go..."

"Then the person who won the Hidden Edge Token will continue as the bookmaker, and others can then challenge that person to a bet!"

"and……"

The eldest princess's smile deepened: "What the bet will be, and the rules, will be decided by the winner!"

"As long as both parties are willing, it will continue until... no one else dares to challenge us!"

After speaking, the princess's gaze swept across the entire room: "Has everyone understood what I meant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the breathing in the courtyard became even heavier.

That's really going big!

In other words, if you're strong enough, and you're the last one to appear and still win, wouldn't you... be able to get all the Hidden Edge Tokens?

However, the winner at the beginning also has a significant advantage, as they can set the rules themselves.

For a moment, many of the martial arts practitioners present began to sizing each other up.

Helian Zhaoyue was the same; her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned against the wall, his expression becoming even stranger.

This rule, no matter how you look at it, seems to be creating opportunities for him!

Just then, Tang Ningshuang moved closer and whispered, "Jiang Xiaobai!"

"Do you think the Princess will deliberately go easy on you if you go up later?"

"this……"

Jiang Xiaobai stroked his chin and said, "After all, so many people are watching!"

"Even if they're going to let things slide, they probably can't be too obvious about it, right? They'll probably... try to cover it up a little bit!"

"What if she doesn't let go?"

Tang Ningshuang asked.

"You won't let go?"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the princess sitting above and said fiercely, "If you don't let go... wait until we get home!"

"I made her massage me all night!!"
