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

Chapter 379 Something's not right!

After a while.

Inside the carriage, Tang Ningshuang was placed to one side.

Jiang Xiaobai, supported by two old men, sat cross-legged in the center of the carriage.

The two old men exchanged a glance, and the black-haired elder sighed, "Come on!"

"It's because the two of us owe their eldest princess a favor!"

As he spoke, the black-haired elder flexed his wrists, then looked at the white-haired elder and continued, "However, second brother, this kid hasn't practiced martial arts before, so we'll probably have to put in a lot of effort!"

"good!"

The white-haired old man nodded gently.

The next moment, the two sat down one after the other next to Jiang Xiaobai.

As the two raised their hands.

The white-haired old man's palm landed on Jiang Xiaobai's chest.

The black-haired old man then pressed down on Jiang Xiaobai's back.

hum!

Amidst the resounding boom, astonishing internal energy erupted from the two individuals.

Immediately afterwards, two streams of internal energy, one cold and one hot, began to pour wildly into Jiang Xiaobai's chest and back.

In an instant, Jiang Xiaobai's previously drowsy consciousness returned somewhat.

After recovering, Jiang Xiaobai felt cold.

It felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar.

Before he could even recover, a wave of intense heat swept over his entire body.

In his hazy state of consciousness, Jiang Xiaobai tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't, yet the sensation became increasingly clear.

One moment they were thrown into an ice cellar, the next they were roasted over a fire.

This back-and-forth caused Jiang Xiaobai considerable torment.

The two old men looked at Jiang Xiaobai, whose face was full of pain, with an increasingly serious expression, and their internal energy became more and more astonishing.

As time passed, the two internal forces continued to circulate within Jiang Xiaobai's body, sometimes colliding and sometimes merging.

After an unknown amount of time, the sensation of alternating hot and cold began to gradually subside.

Jiang Xiaobai's pain lessened, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"It's ready!"

As the two old men stopped, Jiang Xiaobai's body trembled slightly, and he fainted again.

"Sigh, this kid... he's really not good enough, his foundation is too weak!"

The white-haired old man let out a heavy sigh, sweat beading on his forehead.

"nonsense!"

The black-haired old man wiped his sweat and said, "This kid is already this old, and he doesn't even have internal energy. How can he not be bad?!"

"It's already quite good that the two of us can help him lay the foundation!"

As they were talking, the two of them did not linger any longer. After settling Jiang Xiaobai in, they got off the carriage one after the other.

Outside, the night was already quite dark.

As soon as the two came down, they saw the eldest princess standing not far away.

"Why!"

Upon seeing the princess, the black-haired old man immediately waved his hand, saying, "Princess, this lad is still a bit late in learning martial arts!"

"My brother and I could only barely lay the foundation for him!"

"That's enough!"

The princess smiled slightly: "Thank you both, seniors!"

"Don't thank me yet!"

The elderly man in white with black hair quickly said, "It's settled then! We've completely repaid the favor we owed you!"

"From now on... if there's any more of this kind of tiring work, don't ask us two old folks to do it again!"

"rest assured!"

The eldest princess listened and couldn't help but smile softly.

The two nodded in satisfaction.

"Oh, right!"

At this moment, the black-haired old man looked at the princess, his expression somewhat puzzled: "There's something I'm quite curious about!"

"Princess, why are you helping this boy so much?"

As the black-haired elder spoke, the white-haired elder also looked at the princess with some curiosity.

That's right, this Hidden Edge Banquet was clearly held for Jiang Xiaobai.

Now, setting aside their personal favors, we're helping Jiang Xiaobai lay the foundation.

This... is truly hard to understand.

"oh!"

The eldest princess remained calm and said, "His two elder brothers once promised me something!"

"And I... also promised his two older brothers one thing!"

At this point, the eldest princess smiled slightly: "So, I guess I'm returning a favor!"

"I see!"

The two old men exchanged a glance.

Although they were still somewhat curious, since the princess didn't elaborate, they naturally didn't press the matter further.

"OK!"

The black-haired elder cupped his hands in greeting: "Princess, now that we have completed our mission, we will not linger any longer!"

"Goodbye!"

After saying this, the princess nodded, and the two rushed out, quickly disappearing into the night.

The princess stood there, watching the two leave, before turning around and boarding the carriage.

When the princess saw Jiang Xiaobai leaning against the wall, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she sat down opposite him to wait patiently.

……

Half an hour later.

Jiang Xiaobai's consciousness slowly returned as the carriage swayed and rocked.

"Um……"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned at first, then he seemed to realize something and immediately sat up.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai spotted a familiar figure—the Princess, who had changed back into her maid's attire.

“Eh…”

Jiang Xiaobai looked puzzled.

What about the two Black and White Impermanence?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai lifted the carriage curtain and, seeing Tang Ningshuang sitting outside, asked, "Miss Tang, where are those two old men?"

"have no idea!"

Tang Ningshuang shook her head.

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned: "Then why did they knock me out?"

"I don't know either!"

Tang Ningshuang shook her head again: "Those two were peerless masters. I... I was also knocked unconscious!"

"When I woke up, those two people were already gone!"

"Only...is she there!"

As she spoke, Tang Ningshuang glanced at the eldest princess inside the carriage.

Yes, she did want to ask the eldest princess what had happened.

The problem is that the princess is currently pretending to be a deaf-mute maid, so even if she asks, she won't get any information. So she simply started driving the carriage.

That's really strange!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's brows furrowed even more deeply.

That's right, why did those two old men knock him out for no reason?

Is the order to seize the hidden treasure going?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai quickly checked his body and found that all twenty-one Hidden Edge Tokens were still there.

The desert eagle is still on his body.

Therefore, it seems that the two strange old men indeed meant no harm.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have woken up by now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the Eldest Princess.

Based on his deduction, this woman must know something.

But after seeing that the princess was looking out the window, Jiang Xiaobai didn't ask any more questions. He leaned back and rested.

That's right, as long as nothing happens!
