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

"Now that Your Highness has fulfilled Prince Jiang's conditions!"

At this moment, the eldest princess's voice rang out, and she looked at Helian Zhaoyue calmly, saying, "Then hurry up and send someone out to participate!"

"..."

Helian Zhaoyue frowned deeply upon hearing this.

To be honest, she doesn't know whether she should send someone up there or not.

If she doesn't send it, she really wants the Hidden Edge Token!

But if we send someone up there, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that we really did help Jiang Xiaobai identify those people?

Thinking of this, Helian Zhaoyue felt a tightness in her chest.

One is Jiang Xiaobai, the other is the Eldest Princess; they're really ruthless.

One was responsible for stuffing words into her mouth, and the other was responsible for immediately taking her down.

Now she's being forced to make this a fact!

"Princess..."

Teng Zixiu spoke softly beside him, her gaze constantly shifting.

Yes, he understood it too.

This game is neither good nor bad!

Jiang Xiaobai, that bastard, he's got a whole repertoire of schemes up his sleeve!

"Your Highness, you are so selfless, identifying four suspicious individuals for me..."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue with a smile: "Now that you have a chance to play, why are you hesitating!"

"Could it be that the princess is preparing to give up?"

"you……"

Helian Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Xiaobai, her chest heaving, and finally closed her eyes.

That's right, the time she was in the best mood since arriving in Beijing was when Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Jingcheng were locked up in jail!

But since that one time, she hasn't gained an inch from Jiang Xiaobai!

You should know that she was full of confidence before she went to Beiyu.

They even felt that this trip to Dahua would surely cause the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion to suffer a severe loss.

But now... she realizes that she had really been overthinking things.

"Old Dong!"

A moment later, Helian Zhaoyue opened her eyes and looked at the old man beside her: "You may go up now!"

Now that things have come to this, we can't let this opportunity slip away!

"yes!"

The old man nodded gently, slowly stood up, walked to the center, looked at the princess, and cupped his hands, saying, "May I ask what the princess wishes to compete in?"

"Martial arts!"

The eldest princess spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the old man's face lit up with joy.

In martial arts, this match is practically won!

He had observed the maids in the Princess's residence before; they were indeed quite capable, but compared to him, they were still somewhat lacking.

If it really comes down to a fight, he's confident he can win!

Before Elder Dong could even rejoice for long, the eldest princess slowly stood up: "However..."

"I will personally oversee this event!"

"Um?"

Old Dong's expression froze for a moment.

Helian Zhaoyue was also taken aback.

Those in the martial arts world present also began to discuss it animatedly.

Even Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.

This woman actually got involved herself?

The princess looked at the old man with a calm expression, but her gaze was cold.

She hadn't forgotten how relentlessly this old man had pursued her after she was drugged with the Drunken Immortal Incense at the Honglu Temple!

If Jiang Xiaobai hadn't used that hidden weapon, who knows what would have happened!

Now that she has this opportunity, she might as well teach this old man a lesson!

"The Eldest Princess!"

Elder Dong's expression changed slightly as he said, "This... I'm afraid this is somewhat inappropriate?"

"You are of noble birth, while I am but a commoner. It would be terrible if I accidentally hurt you!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess smiled faintly: "I have been practicing martial arts at the Hidden Edge Sect since I was a child!"

"Seriously speaking, I'm practically a member of the martial arts world, so... you don't need to worry!"

The moment the words left her lips, the eldest princess moved!

boom!

An astonishing aura instantly emanated from the princess.

The dress moved without wind, and the wine on the surrounding tables rippled in waves once again.

Jiang Xiaobai sat there, his eyes widening in surprise.

Is this woman really that domineering?

This reminded him once again of the information Liu Guanlan had gathered from his previous investigation.

The eldest princess cleaved the artificial mountain in two with a single palm strike!

He had initially thought it was somewhat exaggerated.

But now it seems... this is probably true!

The old man's expression also became serious. He immediately dared not be arrogant any longer, and quickly circulated his inner energy, rushing forward head-on.

boom!

The moment the two collided, a visible wave of wind swept outwards.

As fists and palms clashed repeatedly, each collision produced a piercing sonic boom in the air.

Even some people sitting closer to the wind had their clothes flapping in the wind.

Ding!

Just then, a melody from a zither suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the woman in the white dress had once again placed her hands on the strings.

Immediately afterwards, the melody of "Swords Like Dreams" resounded throughout the courtyard once again!

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and then began pouring the wine.

Amidst the swordplay and martial arts world, two figures constantly clashing in the center of the arena.

I have to say... it really does taste like that!

Brother Jiang!

Chen Jian, sitting next to Jiang Xiaobai, looked in the direction of the Eldest Princess, his expression noticeably becoming serious: "This Eldest Princess is very powerful!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head and asked, "Are you my opponent?"

"It's hard to say!"

Chen Jian shook his head, but his eyes gleamed: "We'll only know after a real fight!"

As he spoke, Chen Jian's expression already showed signs of fighting spirit.

Jiang Xiaobai was both amused and exasperated by what he saw.

As expected, a martial arts fanatic is a martial arts fanatic!

Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaobai looked up and continued reading.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen the Eldest Princess actually take action.

This woman is usually quiet and gentle when she's dressed as a maid.

He's a completely different person now.

Her moves were crisp and domineering, especially her long dress, which fluttered continuously under the influence of her inner strength, making her look incredibly heroic!

Tang Ningshuang watched, her expression also full of surprise.

When will she be able to reach the level of a princess, with such cultivation and strength?

The old man inside the room looked increasingly grim.

At first, he was able to handle the situation normally, but as the fight continued, he began to retreat.

There was nothing he could do; the princess's internal strength was far greater than he had imagined, and her moves were extremely fierce.

It's no exaggeration to say that every collision made his arm go numb.

boom!

Another palm strike, and the old man staggered back several steps, but before he could regain his footing, the princess had already pressed forward again.

"you……"

The old man's expression changed slightly, and just as he spoke, a muffled explosion rang out.

The princess then struck the old man's chest with a powerful palm strike.

boom!

The old man groaned and was sent flying backward. His body landed heavily on the ground and slid a distance before coming to a stop.

"Old Dong!"

Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed instantly, and she stood up with an incredulous look on her face.

Is the eldest princess of the Great Hua Dynasty really that powerful?

And for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity during the Princess's actions.

Why does it feel like he's somewhat similar to the deaf-mute expert who always follows Jiang Xiaobai?

Could it be...

The next moment, Helian Zhaoyue shook her head.

impossible!

What is the status of the eldest princess? How could she possibly condescend to serve as a maidservant to Jiang Xiaobai?

This is outrageous!

While Helian Zhaoyue was filled with doubt and uncertainty, she saw the eldest princess slowly withdraw her hand, flick her sleeve lightly, and turn to walk towards the main seat.

At the same time, a soft voice echoed throughout the venue.

"Come!"

"Next..."
