My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!
Chapter 455: Zhenfeng Envoy!
"Alright, I'll tell you then!"
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Yu Shangwu glanced at the Princess standing behind him massaging his shoulders and could only nod in agreement.
"The Hidden Edge Sect is about to open its gates, and people from all walks of life in the martial world have already gathered at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
At this point, Yu Shangwu's expression became serious: "Right now... perhaps it's alright!"
"But I fear it won't be long before something happens—a struggle for the Hidden Edge Token!"
"Besides, those with sectarian or personal grudges might also come together and engage in a major fight!"
When Yu Shangwu spoke, the elders of the Dragon Tiger Sect present did not show much surprise.
After all, similar things happen every time the Hidden Edge Sect holds its opening ceremony.
That's why they thought of having Jiang Jingcheng, the Duke of Zhenguo, come over this time.
"Even with your Hidden Edge Sect involved, you can't control them?"
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Yu Shangwu with some curiosity and asked.
As a top sect in the Great Hua Dynasty, if the Hidden Edge Sect were to be forcibly suppressed, no one would dare to cause trouble easily, right?
"It can suppress them!"
Yu Shangwu looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "But if Cangfeng Sect, as the place where this event was held, decides everything, it's inevitable that people will say we're showing favoritism!"
"And since the Dragon Tiger Sect is responsible for receiving all parties, it's also... inconvenient for them to directly intervene!"
"After all, favoring one side will inevitably provoke resentment from the other side!"
"That's true."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly after hearing this.
In the world of martial arts, it's hard to say who's right and who's wrong.
If either the Hidden Edge Sect or the Dragon Tiger Sect were to side with one side, they might be accused of being unfair.
"Therefore, we plan to hold a dragon-tiger fight in the back mountain in three days!"
Yu Shangwu spoke up, "If any parties have grudges, they can settle them beforehand during the Dragon-Tiger Battle!"
"Those who wish to obtain the Hidden Edge Token can also bring out the corresponding items and place bets with the token holder!"
"After the victory or defeat, let bygones be bygones. At the very least... during the founding period of the Hidden Edge Sect, no further unauthorized action is permitted!"
"A battle between dragons and tigers?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.
This is somewhat similar to the Hidden Edge Banquet held at the Princess's residence before.
It seems that the expert also learned something from them!
However, the two are ultimately different.
The Hidden Edge Banquet allows for continuous betting, while the Dragon and Tiger Fight is simply a competition.
Doing so would indeed bring some of the hidden struggles into the open.
"Furthermore, I heard that the Dragon Tiger Sect has invited the Marquis of Zhenbei to personally oversee the situation!"
Yu Shangwu continued, "Therefore, our Cangfeng Sect would like to invite him to serve as the Zhenfeng Envoy in the Dragon-Tiger Battle!"
"The Zhenfeng Envoy is responsible for maintaining order during the Dragon-Tiger Fight, determining the winner, and ensuring that no mishaps occur during the competition!"
"If anyone breaks the rules, the Commander of the Garrison... will also be responsible for suppressing them!"
"Elder Yu, we brought Jing Cheng here purely to maintain order!"
Chen Songhan frowned as he looked at Yu Shangwu and said, "Bringing up a dragon-tiger fight like this is going to cause a lot of trouble!"
"It's a bit troublesome, but the conflict can be minimized!"
Yu Shangwu chuckled.
Jiang Xiaobai listened, his gaze thoughtful.
Yes, unexpected situations are bound to occur in competitions like these.
If someone can't accept defeat, or tries to kill someone under the guise of the competition, the Commander of the Vanguard must step forward.
At that time... it will inevitably offend people.
Therefore, although he is called the Zhenfeng Envoy, he is also a villain who offends people!
Unfortunately, not everyone can be a villain.
If you're weak, people simply won't listen to you.
Even with a low social status, one cannot suppress those powerful figures in the martial arts world.
His father was the Duke of Zhenguo and a former disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect, with an army of 800,000 behind him.
Given this identity, it is indeed the most suitable one.
"But what a pity!"
Yu Shangwu sighed and shook his head, saying, "Since Jiang Jingcheng isn't here, then we'll have to choose a new person for the Zhenfeng Envoy!"
"If that doesn't work, then let's choose a highly respected senior from among the martial arts practitioners who have come this time!"
"etc!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai spoke up, "Why do we need to choose new people?"
"Am I not here in place of my father?"
"Leave this to me!"
"what……"
Yu Shangwu's expression clearly froze for a moment: "You want to be the Zhenfeng Envoy?"
"right!"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "I already said, anything my father can do, I can do too!"
"And I'll only do better than him!"
"Can……"
Yu Shangwu frowned, looking at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This matter is not child's play!"
"Once the battle between the dragon and the tiger begins, no matter what unexpected events occur, you will need to step in and suppress them!"
"If you don't handle this well, you'll not only offend those underworld forces, but you might even... lose your life!"
"Heh heh, my life isn't so easily taken away!!"
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Besides, those who know me also know that my greatest strength is persuading people with reason!"
"Ha ha!"
Yu Shangwu laughed out loud: "You've never been to the martial world, so you probably don't know much about it!"
"The martial arts world isn't a place for reason!"
"That depends on what kind of reasoning you're using!"
Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up: "In short, I'll take responsibility for this on behalf of my father!!"
Being a bad person is indeed not easy, because once you make a mistake, you offend a whole bunch of people.
But if he does it well, there are also many benefits for him.
Putting everything else aside, after this incident, their Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will become even more influential in the martial arts world.
"I disagree with this!"
Lu Yuanshan frowned and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "It's too dangerous. You can't be the Zhenfeng Envoy!"
He really didn't want to offend Xiao Yunshu, that little devil, but... he couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Xiaobai take that risk.
It's good that young people are energetic, but it depends on the situation.
In a battle between dragons and tigers, if things really go wrong, no one will show mercy just because Jiang Xiaobai is the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
"I agree!"
Chen Songhan also spoke, looking at Jiang Xiaobai and saying, "You can stay at Longhu Mountain, but you can't be the Zhenfeng Envoy!"
"If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your father?!"
Jiang Xiaobai's expression froze for a moment as he listened.
Although the two elderly people refused, he knew that they were genuinely worried about his safety.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiaobai said, "Grandpa, how about this, I'll try it for one day!"
"If you really think I'm not good enough by this point in time, how about we find someone else?!"
"Tsk..."
Lu Yuanshan frowned and looked at Jiang Xiaobai for a moment, then glanced at the eldest princess behind him, and finally sighed helplessly: "Alright then!"
That's right, he figured it out; Jiang Xiaobai wouldn't shed a tear until he was in his coffin.
That being the case...
Let's let this kid experience the dangers of the martial world beforehand!
