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

"Ah, this..."

When Li Jingxing heard the young man ask for the Concealing Edge Token, an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his face.

Don't worry.

Noticing Li Jingxing's expression, Li Jingfeng assumed his younger brother was worried about losing and immediately said, "This senior will not lose!"

"Big brother, I...I didn't mean that!"

Li Jingxing's face grew even more grim, and his voice became somewhat strained as he said, "It's our Li family's three Hidden Edge Tokens; they've all been sent out!"

"What?"

The young man's expression froze, and his face darkened: "You lost all three?!"

"yes!"

Li Jingxing gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Xiaobai with resentment: "They...they all lost to this young master of the Jiang family!"

"The Jiang family?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingfeng followed Li Jingxing's gaze and quickly focused on Jiang Xiaobai: "The Marquis of Zhenbei's residence?"

"Oh, that used to be the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai said, "This is the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Li Jingfeng asked, somewhat surprised, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

After speaking, Li Jingfeng looked at Li Jingxing.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei's residence has indeed become the Duke of Zhenguo's residence!"

Li Jingxing nodded somewhat helplessly.

At this moment, Xiao Qingheng, who had been sitting there silently, finally spoke up: "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion recently upheld justice by putting aside its own family ties, thus preserving the dignity of our royal family!"

"To reward the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, Father Emperor made an exception and promoted it to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

"So His Highness the Crown Prince is here too!"

Hearing the voice, Li Jingfeng noticed Xiao Qingheng and nodded in acknowledgment, but then his expression turned puzzled: "Sacrificing family for the greater good?"

As he spoke, Li Jingfeng turned his gaze back to Jiang Xiaobai and said calmly, "Speaking of which, you should be the last young master of your Jiang family, right?"

"So, if your Jiang family can so righteously turn against even your own relatives, who else can you kill?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room noticeably changed.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

Chen Zhanqiu also gave a cold laugh.

Xiao Qingxiu felt even more relieved and looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a face full of mockery.

This sounds like a question asked out of ignorance, but the problem is that most of the Jiang family members have already sacrificed their lives.

Three years ago, Jiang Xiaobai's two elder brothers also died in battle in Beiyu.

These words, once spoken, are clearly laced with sarcasm.

Jiang Xiaobai's brows furrowed as well.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jian leaned closer to Jiang Xiaobai and whispered, "Brother Jiang, do you need me to kill him for you?"

Although Tang Ningshuang did not speak, her hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.

Li Jingfeng's words, though seemingly unintentional, were actually quite venomous!

"Need not!"

As Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, he looked at Li Jingfeng and said calmly, "Not only can you kill your own family for the greater good, you can even kill your mother!"

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Li Jingfeng's expression changed slightly.

Li Jingxing and Li Jingren were both stunned.

Jiang Xiaobai seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot, your mother is gone!"

Actually, he didn't want to play such low-class games.

But there was nothing he could do; Li Jingfeng had spoken like that right from the start.

If he goes along with Li Jingfeng's lead and tries to explain Jiang Jingxuan or the concept of sacrificing family for the greater good, then who knows what even more venomous things might come his way later.

If that's the case, then there's no point in explaining!

Moreover, his predecessor was originally a playboy who spent his time cockfighting, bird-walking, and listening to music in brothels, and whose speech was incoherent.

Isn't it normal for him to say that?

Li Jingfeng then came to his senses, his eyes slowly narrowing, the coldness in his gaze growing stronger.

Li Jingxing's face was filled with anger.

Jiang Xiaobai had previously used his mother as a pretext when they were at the Court of State Ceremonial.

Now, in front of his own elder brother, he's doing it again?

This caused a surge of anger to rise in Li Jingxing's chest.

At this moment, Li Jingfeng stared at Jiang Xiaobai for a moment, but ultimately did not continue to dwell on the topic. Instead, he stretched out his hand: "Give me the three Hidden Edge Tokens of my Li family!"

"Those three Concealed Edge Tokens are only valid under my authority within Dingyuan Prefecture!"

"If I don't want to give it, no one... can take it away, not even the loser!"

As Li Jingfeng finished speaking, the princess frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by the woman in the white dress beside her.

The princess glanced at the woman in the white dress, but ultimately remained silent.

Upon hearing Li Jingfeng's words, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and didn't refuse. Instead, he gestured simply towards the table and said, "Oh, the Hidden Edge Token is right here!"

"Why don't you... try taking one?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Li Jingfeng's gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai's desk, and his expression changed.

That's right, more than a dozen Concealed Edge Tokens were piled up in front of Jiang Xiaobai.

So many?

Just as he was about to step forward, the old man from the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect suddenly laughed: "Heh, since that's the case, then this old man will give it a try first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man stomped his foot, his body almost turning into a blur, heading straight for Jiang Xiaobai.

So fast!

Many people present witnessed this scene and were shocked.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could even react, the old man had already reached the table, reached out his large hand, and grabbed at the Hidden Edge Token on the table!

And this grab contained more than three!

With a swift movement of his hand, he grasped at least seven Hidden Edge Tokens.

The next moment, the old man smiled and quickly retreated.

"This senior from the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect has impressive agility!"

At that moment, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Seeing this, Li Jingfeng couldn't help but smile. But just as the old man stepped back, a loud bang suddenly echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a series of loud bangs rang out again.

As you can see, Jiang Xiaobai has already raised the Desert Eagle in his hand.

Sparks flew continuously, and the entire burst of fire was extinguished!

The old man stopped, and the Hidden Edge Token he was holding fell to the ground with a clatter.

The old man glanced down at the bloody holes in his body, then slowly raised his head, looking at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief: "I am a senior elder of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect, how dare you..."

The old man's mouth moved, but before he could say anything, his body swayed and he fell heavily to the ground.

hiss!

A collective gasp of astonishment immediately filled the air.

Many of the martial arts practitioners who were initially just watching the spectacle sat up straight, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

The Free and Unfettered Sword Sect!

This old man is an elder of the Free and Unfettered Sword Sect!

As a result, he was killed by Jiang Xiaobai?

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, his expression still calm. He glanced at the old man on the ground and said indifferently, "The Free and Unfettered Sword Sect? Ha, what are they in my eyes?!"

"Did I tell you to touch it, and you still touched it?!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai raised his head again, his gaze falling on the shocked Li Jingfeng: "Come on, I'm talking to you. Didn't you want the Concealed Edge Token?"

"Why don't you try taking one?!"
