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

"Now?"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing the woman in the white dress's words.

So urgent?

But whatever, since he had promised to go beforehand.

Since they want it now, he has to do it!

The princess noticed the white-clad woman's expectant look and immediately waved her hand with a smile. Soon, a maidservant brought paper and pen to Jiang Xiaobai.

That's right, after listening to Jiang Xiaobai's music, she understood her senior sister.

Jiang Xiaobai is indeed exceptionally talented in this area.

Even she found it very enjoyable to listen to.

As Jiang Xiaobai picked up his pen, he looked at the woman in the white dress and asked, "What type of woman would you like, sir?"

This statement surprised many people.

What other type would you like?

So, it seems like Jiang Xiaobai can write anything?

The woman in the white dress paused, turned to Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "The first song should have a chivalrous spirit, a sense of the martial world. By the way, I really like 'A Laughter in the Vast Sea'!"

That's right, she likes to play the "Laughing at the Vast Ocean" instrument whenever she has free time, and she enjoys it immensely.

But it was only one song, which wasn't enough to satisfy me.

If we could sing another song, that would be the best!

"And the second one?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"The second song, with a tender and sentimental style similar to 'Daughter's Love,' is one I also really like!"

As she spoke, a hint of brightness flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Oh, it's that simple?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback at first.

But then, thinking of something, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, his face full of worry, and said, "Hiss, sigh, master... your request is too difficult!!"

"This...this means I'll have to rack my brains for a long time!"

As Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Helian Zhaoyue's eyes immediately filled with disdain.

Teng Zixiu also looked disgusted.

Shameless!

Previously in the royal garden, their princess requested that the music be able to make them cry, and Jiang Xiaobai casually wrote "Thinking of You with Sorrow".

Moreover, it was written down in just a few breaths.

These two pieces probably won't be around for long!

Tang Ningshuang, standing beside her, pursed her red lips and spat.

She had been following Jiang Xiaobai for a while, so she naturally knew just how fast he could compose music.

The woman in the white dress blinked, her brows slightly smiling, but she didn't say anything. She simply turned around and sat down again.

Jiang Xiaobai was still sighing, "Ugh, this is too hard! It's really too hard!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai's brush was already writing on the paper with a swift, uninterrupted motion.

Those who don't understand will just sit there looking completely bewildered.

Isn't it too difficult?

This guy... how come he writes so fast?

Didn't they even consider it at all?!

Of course, there were also people who were simply looking at Jiang Xiaobai with pure annoyance.

For example, Li Jingxing's face was extremely pale.

You should know that they came back from Xiguan City this time specifically to see the Cangfeng Sect open its gates!

Three Hidden Edge Tokens—those were the Li family's hard-earned savings over the past few years.

Everything is gone!

Their eldest brother has not yet returned to the capital.

If he discovers this when he gets back, he's likely to be in for a rough time.

In an instant, Li Jingxing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his gaze toward Jiang Xiaobai became increasingly resentful.

Zhao Sheng fared somewhat better, since the Hidden Edge Token was of little use to him.

But... the problem is, it's a little uncomfortable to have Jiang Xiaobai take it away in this way.

Xiao Qingxiu sat there, his face equally gloomy, seemingly lost in thought.

As time passed, not long afterward, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Xiaobai put down his brush.

The score is clearly complete.

At this moment, Tang Ningshuang turned her head to look and was surprised.

Because inside, there are not two, but three musical scores.

Then Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out: "Sigh, your requirements are too high, so... I wrote another song!"

Jiang Xiaobai's words drew question marks on the faces of many people present.

No, this guy wrote three poems, it's too difficult.

Meanwhile, Helian Zhaoyue and Teng Zixiu looked at Jiang Xiaobai with even more disdain.

The corners of the princess's mouth, hidden beneath her veil, were slightly upturned.

The way this guy said it was really annoying.

"This last song is called 'Cooling Down'!"

Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again: "These are gifts I prepared for everyone present!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the woman in the white dress and said, "I would like to ask the expert to play for them at the end of the Hidden Edge Banquet!"

Ok?

The expressions of those present were somewhat surprised.

Should we give them these?

What does this coolness mean?!

Just as the people present were discussing among themselves, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and handed the three musical scores to the maid next to him.

The maid took it with both hands and quickly presented it to the woman in the white dress.

The woman in the white dress glanced at her curiously.

"Swords and Dreams", "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

Upon seeing the titles of the first two songs, the woman in the white dress showed surprise before looking at the sheet music.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his head again, glanced around, and said with a smile, "Come on, next one!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai looked down and counted the Hidden Edge Tokens on the table: "Now there are sixteen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people's breathing became heavier.

But as they looked at each other, not a single person in the room stood up and spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow at the silence around him: "Is everyone gone?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "In that case, I'll personally handle the next martial arts competition!"

"However, we still... need three Concealed Edge Tokens!"

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among those present.

Jiang Xiaobai's martial arts skills were actually revealed during his fight with that maid; there were some tricks to it.

There were some problems, but no one pointed them out because of the Princess's influence.

Now this kid actually came in person?

"Princess..."

Teng Zixiu was clearly also somewhat tempted at this moment, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Helian Zhaoyue.

Sixteen Concealed Strike Orders.

If they can take it, they will have plenty to go on their trip to Cangfeng Mountain!

"Can't!"

Without a second thought, Helian Zhaoyue shook her head, her gaze fixed on Jiang Xiaobai: "This guy can't be trusted!"

How many times has this bastard tricked them before?

Even if Jiang Xiaobai says he will personally take action, we can't completely trust him!

That's right, who knows if there's anything else going on here!

Most of the other martial arts practitioners shared this view, and for a time no one stepped forward.

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Since no one is challenging me, then according to the rules, these sixteen are all mine!"

With that, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the Princess and said, "Please, Your Highness, make a formal decision!"

"Alright, if that's the case..."

The eldest princess then spoke calmly, but at that moment, a cold, angry voice rang out: "Wait!"

It was Xiao Qingxiu who spoke, his eyes filled with icy coldness as he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Since Young Master Jiang is prepared to take action personally!"

"Then I'm willing to... take another gamble!!!"
