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

"what?"

Tang Ningshuang stood there, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's arm that the princess had twisted, her gaze somewhat strange.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Ningshuang covered Jiang Xiaobai with the blanket, turned around and followed him out.

in fact……

She could roughly guess what the eldest princess wanted to say.

After all, the eldest princess had already spoken.

In this way, her identity as a deaf-mute maid could no longer be hidden.

The problem is, she already knew the princess's identity!

Upon exiting, they saw the eldest princess already sitting there.

Upon seeing Tang Ningshuang emerge, the Eldest Princess immediately said, "Come, Miss Tang, sit down and let's talk!"

"good!"

Tang Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to the Princess.

"Miss Tang!"

The eldest princess looked at Tang Ningshuang with slight embarrassment and said, "Are you... surprised that I suddenly started talking?"

There was no other way; since she had already spoken up, she had no choice but to reveal her identity.

"this……"

Tang Ningshuang's lips moved, and she lowered her head, whispering, "Yes, it's...too unexpected!"

After saying that, Tang Ningshuang felt a little embarrassed.

The eldest princess didn't think much of it and said, "Actually, we met tonight!"

"My name is Xiao Yunshu!"

As she spoke, the princess's expression turned serious: "She is also the eldest princess of our Great Hua!"

"Oh……"

Tang Ningshuang raised her head, opened her mouth, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"What, you...?"

The eldest princess looked at Tang Ningshuang's reaction with some surprise: "You don't seem surprised at all?"

"No, no, no!"

Tang Ningshuang quickly shook her head and said, "Please believe me."

"I...I'm really, really, really surprised!"

With that, Tang Ningshuang quickly stood up, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, her face flushed, "Tang Ningshuang greets the Princess!"

"We're already somewhat acquainted, Miss Tang, please don't stand on ceremony with me!"

The princess shook her head, then changed the subject, saying softly, "However, I hope Miss Tang can keep this secret for me for now!"

"This...I..."

Tang Ningshuang's lips moved slightly.

Keeping a secret?

Jiang Xiaobai already knew this, so how could she possibly keep it a secret!

Seeing the princess's serious expression, Tang Ningshuang finally nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely keep it a secret!"

"That's good!"

The princess breathed a sigh of relief, a smile returning to her face, and looked at Tang Ningshuang, saying, "Then, Miss Tang, is there anything you'd like to ask me?"

"I……"

Tang Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, glancing around the room, "What were you two just now...?"

"Oh, Jiang Xiaobai has the foundation of the Yin-Yang Limitless Skill within him!"

The eldest princess explained, "His foundation is newly formed and not very stable. Only if he reaches the first rank as soon as possible can we ensure there won't be any problems!"

"I see!"

Tang Ningshuang asked, "Is he... alright now?!"

"It should be alright now!!"

The eldest princess said, "However, it will take a few more days to consolidate the results."

"That's good!"

Tang Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and looked at the Princess, asking, "Then, Princess... are you alright?"

"I?"

Upon hearing this, the image of Jiang Xiaobai falling headfirst into the air flashed through the princess's mind.

In an instant, the princess's face flushed red: "I...of course I'm fine!"

"and……"

At this point, the princess tried her best to remain calm: "I asked the imperial physician beforehand, and a kiss is...it's alright!"

"what?"

Tang Ningshuang opened her mouth.

That's not what she was asking.

That's right, she wanted to ask the princess if she was injured when she helped Jiang Xiaobai guide his internal energy!

But the eldest princess had clearly misunderstood.

perhaps……

For the eldest princess, that kiss might actually make things more likely to go wrong.

Thinking of this, Tang Ningshuang could only awkwardly reply, "That's good, that's good!"

"Um!"

The eldest princess clearly didn't want to continue the conversation and said softly, "Alright, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"

After saying that, the princess lay down on the bed.

Tang Ningshuang sat there, her expression still somewhat strange.

……

the next day.

When Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes, he found that it was already daylight outside.

After stretching, Jiang Xiaobai's expression turned to surprise.

That's right, he actually went to bed quite late last night because he was studying the "Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Technique".

Based on my previous condition, I should be feeling somewhat sleepy by now.

But... not only am I not sleepy today, I feel full of energy.

The only thing is, my arm hurts a little...

Jiang Xiaobai rolled up his sleeves, glanced at his arm, and noticed a ring of purple.

Puzzled, Jiang Xiaobai was about to put on his shoes when he suddenly noticed the "Dragon and Phoenix Harmony Technique" on the bed.

"Huh, did I remember wrong?"

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head: "I remember putting it under the bed!"

After thinking hard, Jiang Xiaobai finally stuffed it back in.

After doing all that, Jiang Xiaobai stretched and then walked outside.

Upon entering the courtyard, they found that Tang Ningshuang and the Princess had already gotten up.

Tang Ningshuang practiced her sword in the courtyard as always.

The sword blade flashed, making a whooshing sound.

The eldest princess stood aside, watching quietly.

Good morning!

Jiang Xiaobai came out and greeted them with a smile.

Tang Ningshuang saw Jiang Xiaobai and then sheathed her sword.

The eldest princess then came to Jiang Xiaobai's side and naturally helped him tidy his clothes.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Tang Ningshuang stepped forward and asked, "How are you feeling today? Are you the same as yesterday?"

"It's different, it seems even lighter than yesterday!"

Jiang Xiaobai stretched his body, jumped up and down, and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... that I am a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand in this world?"

"You can improve your strength just by sleeping?"

"One rank per day, and you'll enter the sect in nine days?"

"..."

Tang Ningshuang looked helpless upon hearing this.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Tang Ningshuang's expression, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh heartily twice.

Actually, he was just joking.

One tael a day, and you'll enter the sect in nine days—only novels from my past life could write something like that!

"By the way, Miss Tang."

Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Xiaobai raised his arm and said, "My arm is inexplicably sore today?"

"Could this be a problem that occurred during cultivation?"

"For example... internal energy blockage, meridian dilation, or something like that?"

"this……"

Tang Ningshuang glanced at the Eldest Princess, her lips moving as she said, "Perhaps!"

"Anything can happen when it comes to martial arts training!"

"oh!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in sudden realization and said, "Then how come my internal energy blockage is so perfectly round!"

"It felt like someone was pinching my flesh and twisting it twice!"

"Ah, you...you can rest assured!"

Tang Ningshuang lowered her head and said, "Last night..."

"Absolutely no one will pinch you!"
