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

The people present were dumbfounded as they watched Jiang Xiaobai dancing wildly to the music.

Jiang Xiaobai did indeed take action personally.

But this act was somewhat different from what they understood.

They were supposed to have a martial arts competition, but this guy turned it into a dance competition instead?

shameless!

Shameless!

Moreover, it doesn't really matter to Jiang Xiaobai himself if he jumps around like this.

After all, his reputation wasn't exactly good to begin with.

Cockfighting, bird-walking, listening to music in brothels—he did it all.

These days, dancing in public is nothing special.

But Jin Sheng is different; he is a dignified commander of the Zhenying Division, a powerful figure of the eighth rank.

He was a prominent figure in the capital, and wherever he went, people would respectfully address him as "Lord Jin."

To make him, in front of so many people, sway and twist to the music like Jiang Xiaobai...

If word gets out, where will he put his old face?

The princess was initially puzzled about what Jiang Xiaobai was planning to do, but upon seeing this, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips and burst out laughing.

This guy really can come up with all sorts of methods!

Whether you dance well or not is not that important.

At least you dare to do it!

However, as she looked on, the princess's expression changed slightly.

Because although Jiang Xiaobai's movements seem chaotic, they actually have a certain charm when accompanied by the melody of "Swords and Dreams".

The more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes!

Tang Ningshuang sat there, equally shocked.

Talent!

How did Jiang Xiaobai manage to cover this up?

And undeniably, this piece is truly beautiful.

Especially after the woman in the white dress played the guqin, the flavor of the martial arts world was completely brought out.

There are knives, swords, wine, and the martial world.

Tang Ningshuang herself loved martial arts, and now, listening to it, she couldn't help but become immersed in it.

Chen Jian's expression was one of amazement, and he looked at Jiang Xiaobai with admiration.

No wonder he's his closest friend!

"Well done, Jiang Xiaobai!"

Xiao Qingxiu sat there, his face ashen, his body trembling slightly with anger.

Martial arts? Dance?

Damn it, could Jiang Xiaobai be any more shameless?!

He just spent such a huge price to get three Concealed Edge Tokens.

Even... the calligraphy and paintings of Suzhou's most famous figures were involved!

And what happened? Damn it, all just to see Jiang Xiaobai dance here?

Xiao Qingzhou sat down beside him and sighed.

However, when his gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai, he felt not much annoyance, but rather a little admiration.

In fact, he had already witnessed Jiang Xiaobai's abilities since the Lanting Tower.

Looking at this guy now, Xiao Qingzhou felt a little envious.

Many people live their lives bound by status, etiquette, and even rules.

This is unacceptable, that is beneath my dignity.

But Jiang Xiaobai seems to never care about these things.

As long as I'm happy and I can achieve my goal, I don't care what you think!

This alone is something that many people can't do in their entire lives.

On the other side, Xiao Zijing propped her chin up with her hand, her eyes crinkling as she smiled at Jiang Xiaobai in the arena.

She likes Jiang Xiaobai the way he is now.

Carefree and fun.

Moreover, this piece of music is so perfect for the current scene; it's pleasant to listen to and interesting to watch.

As for the martial arts figures present, they initially cursed Jiang Xiaobai for being shameless, but as the music continued, their curses gradually subsided.

Jiang Xiaobai, in particular, would stagger a few steps as if drunk, and then turn around, flicking his sleeves, all while following the tune.

Coupled with the sound of the guqin, it was truly a delightful watch.

The woman in the white dress was in the same situation at that moment.

As her jade-like hands plucked the strings of the zither, she would occasionally glance up at Jiang Xiaobai.

Beneath the straw hat, the strange light in his eyes grew stronger.

Even as the music gradually entered its second half, a smile appeared on the woman in the white dress.

His fingers danced faster on the strings, and towards the end, he even hummed a little tune along with the music.

The woman's voice was already beautiful, and now, paired with the guqin, it made the whole piece even more melodious and pleasing to the ear.

In an instant, the entire courtyard seemed to have been truly pulled into a world of martial arts.

Exhilaration, carefree spirit, swords clashing, grudges all settled in wine.

Gradually, as the last note of the zither faded away, the entire courtyard fell silent for a moment.

The woman in the white dress still had her hands on the strings, as if she still felt a little unsatisfied.

What a wonderful piece of music! It truly is a wonderful piece of music!

Jiang Xiaobai finally stopped, put his hands on his knees, and let out a heavy sigh.

I must say, this thing is really physically demanding.

However... it's good for physical training!

After catching his breath, Jiang Xiaobai straightened up, first bowing to the woman in the white dress, then his gaze fell on Jin Sheng, and he said with a smile, "Lord Jin!"

"It's your turn!"

"..."

Jin Sheng stood there, his face visibly twitching twice. Finally, he glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaobai, then turned and walked towards his seat.

He can fight, but he really can't do something like that in public!

When Xiao Qingxiu saw Jin Sheng return, he did not blame him.

Because even if he tried to imagine it himself, he couldn't escape it at all.

Only Jiang Xiaobai, that bastard, could be so shameless!

The problem is, those three Concealed Edge Tokens are gone just like that?

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingxiu felt a tightness in his chest again, glared at Jiang Xiaobai as if spitting fire, and then looked directly at the Princess.

"Your Highness, this one... shouldn't count, right?"

"Calculate!"

The eldest princess spoke calmly, "What Prince Jiang just said was about a dance competition, but you misheard it as a martial arts contest..."

"You can't blame them for this!"

"you……"

Xiao Qingxiu's face immediately filled with annoyance.

Before he could finish speaking, the princess's gaze turned icy: "What, do you have something to say?"

Xiao Qingxiu's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed back what he was about to say. He cupped his hands in greeting and sat down again with a dark expression.

However, his body was still trembling slightly with anger.

"fine……"

Not far away, Teng Zixiu witnessed this scene, his throat bobbing as he looked at Helian Zhaoyue: "Princess, thank goodness we didn't go in!"

"Otherwise, we'd be giving away a Concealed Edge Token for nothing!"

"snort!"

Helian Zhaoyue gritted her teeth, her gaze still fixed on Jiang Xiaobai: "I knew it!"

You can't trust anything Jiang Xiaobai says!

However, thinking of the song she had just heard and Jiang Xiaobai's dance, Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly.

Overall, it was indeed quite delicious.

The music, in particular, is very easy to get absorbed in.

Although she disliked Jiang Xiaobai, she had to admit that he was indeed very talented.

"Nineteen now!"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai returned to his seat, his cheerful voice ringing out: "Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to challenge me to a bet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Jiang Xiaobai looked around, but everyone who noticed his gaze looked away.

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai's smile gradually froze.

No, there are nineteen Concealed Edge Tokens right here, and not a single one is tempting?

"Ahem!"

Jiang Xiaobai coughed twice, then spoke again: "Everyone, nineteen!"

But after he finished speaking, no one said a word.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was filled with helplessness, a man from the martial arts world stood up.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up instantly, but the next moment, the man looked at the princess: "Princess! Please find someone else to host as soon as possible!"

"in addition……"

At this point, the man gritted his teeth and said, "I request that Prince Jiang be excluded from the remaining bets!"

"That's right, I support it!"

"I support it too!"

"Yes, Prince Jiang absolutely cannot participate anymore. If he does, all the Hidden Edge Tokens we've been waiting for will likely fall into his hands!!!"
