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

"Your Highness, may I be so bold as to ask a question?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out; it was Helian Zhaoyue who spoke: "If we don't have the Concealed Edge Token, how can we participate?"

As Helian Zhaoyue finished speaking, many people present turned to look at the eldest princess.

Not everyone who came today has a Concealed Edge Token.

If they cannot participate without the Hidden Edge Token, then for them, the Hidden Edge Banquet is at most just something to watch.

"Oh, if the princess hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!"

The eldest princess glanced at Helian Zhaoyue and smiled slightly, "You can still participate even without the Concealing Edge Token!"

"Name your terms. If the person in charge is satisfied, then you can participate!"

"Or... the person in charge can set the conditions, and if you can meet them, you can participate!"

At this point, the princess paused and said, "But if they are not satisfied with your conditions, and you cannot meet the conditions they set..."

"Well... then I can only say I'm sorry!"

"fine!"

Helian Zhaoyue visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as I can participate, that's fine.

Although there are some limitations, it is obviously much better than losing eligibility.

As Jiang Xiaobai listened, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

These rules are quite interesting!

If he becomes the one in charge later, then if Helian Zhaoyue wants to get the Hidden Edge Token from him... she'll have to listen to him.

If it was just speculation before, he is now almost certain that this woman is indeed helping him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the Princess.

Coincidentally, the eldest princess was also looking at him at that moment.

The moment their eyes met, the princess visibly paused, then looked away, her expression revealing unease.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai's smile deepened upon seeing this.

"alright!"

The eldest princess then looked at everyone present again and said softly, "I have already explained the rules enough!"

"Well... who would like to go first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people present looked at each other.

Although everyone was eager to have Zang Fengling play, when it came to the first player to take the field, no one was in a hurry to move.

After all, this is the Hidden Edge Token; if you lose, you'll lose it!

A moment later, a middle-aged man stood up first: "I'll go first!"

As he spoke, the man took out a Concealed Edge Token from his pocket: "Anyway, I obtained this Concealed Edge Token by sheer luck!"

"We lost, and that's that!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a maidservant stepped forward and took the Hidden Edge Token.

The man wasn't surprised to see this, and instead looked at the princess and asked, "May I ask what Your Highness wishes to compete in?"

"Simple!"

After the princess finished speaking, she gestured to a maid beside her.

The maid nodded slightly, stepped forward, and stood opposite the man.

"Punch and kick!"

The eldest princess said, "You just need to defeat her!"

what?

The man was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at the slender maid in front of him and burst into laughter.

"Looks like my luck isn't too bad!"

After saying that, the man took a step and headed straight for the maid.

The maid didn't back down; instead, she gave a soft snort and charged forward.

boom!

The moment the two collided, a gust of wind ripped outwards.

Jiang Xiaobai watched with great interest, then poured himself a glass of wine and continued reading while drinking.

It has to be said that you can eat and drink while watching experts fight on the sidelines.

This hidden-edge banquet was quite enjoyable.

Soon, after finishing one glass of wine, Jiang Xiaobai poured himself a second one.

But the wine had just been poured when a startling sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai looked up, his face filled with shock.

Suddenly, the maidservant struck out with her palm, and the air seemed to explode at that moment, creating a sonic boom!

The man quickly raised his hands to block in front of him.

boom!

The next moment, he staggered back several steps before finally stopping, his face alternating between red and white.

"this……"

The man gave a wry smile, and finally cupped his hands in a respectful bow to the princess, saying, "The princess indeed has many capable men under her command!"

"I lost!"

After saying that, the man didn't press the matter further and turned back to his seat.

The maid also retreated to the princess's side.

"at the moment……"

The eldest princess glanced at the Concealed Tokens on the table: "Three now!"

"Let's continue the bet. Whoever wins takes all three!"

"Who's next?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone quickly stood up.

"I'll give it a try!"

A young man stepped forward and also took out a Concealed Edge Token.

After the maid took away the Concealing Token, the young man glanced at the maid who had just attacked and said, "I'd like to try her skills too!"

Although the man lost, he at least learned something.

If they were to fight again, he might still have a chance!

Upon hearing this, the princess smiled faintly and gestured to another maid, who immediately came out.

"You and she...are comparing weapons!"

"what?"

The young man was stunned when he saw that it was someone else: "But... my swordsmanship isn't very good!"

"There's nothing we can do about that!"

The eldest princess smiled and said, "I am now the dealer!"

"What to bet on... that's naturally up to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the room began to look at him with a flicker of interest.

That's right, that's the benefit of being a market maker!

Once you win once, you can decide what to compete against whenever someone challenges you.

This advantage is by no means small!

At this moment, two servants from the Princess's residence also pushed up a row of weapon racks.

Swords, spears, halberds, and all sorts of weapons are available.

The young man looked around, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

The order to conceal one's strength has already been issued, and it's too late to regret it now.

In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a knife from the weapon rack.

The maid opposite her simply raised her hand and drew a long sword.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe it!"

The man snorted coldly, drew his knife, and charged forward.

Clang!

The sound of clashing swords rang out instantly, and the two figures quickly passed each other.

But in just a short while, the situation became clear.

The man's swordsmanship was indeed mediocre, while the maid's swordsmanship was fierce.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the knife in the man's hand was deflected, and then the cold blade was already at his neck.

"..."

The man froze, then sighed helplessly, threw the knife back onto the weapon rack, and turned back to his seat.

"Four Concealed Edge Orders!"

The eldest princess looked at the token on the table, her expression remaining calm: "Next...who's next?"

The people present looked at each other, but for a moment, no one was in a hurry to stand up.

Just then, a smiling voice rang out: "Then I'll give it a try!"

Ok?

Many people present turned their heads away.

Tang Ningshuang was even more startled.

Because the person who stood up was Jiang Xiaobai!
