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

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled broadly.

That's right. If he were given just one day to try, he would be confident that he could shut both sides up.

He's obedient, and easy to talk to.

If they won't listen... then take them down!

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes, but the smile on his face remained bright.

Yu Shangwu glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, his brows still furrowed.

However, since Lu Yuanshan had already given his consent, he couldn't say anything more and immediately stood up, saying, "Then let's settle it like this!"

"Three days later, have all the martial arts practitioners from the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain proceed to the back mountain!"

"No problem!"

Lu Yuanshan agreed.

Yu Shangwu cupped his hands in greeting to those present and said, "I still have many matters to attend to at the Hidden Edge Sect, so I'll take my leave now!"

After speaking, Yu Shangwu glanced again in the direction of the Princess before leaving the hall with the young man beside him.

The disciple who had been slapped earlier was still outside the hall, covering his face.

Upon seeing Yu Shangwu emerge, he quickly lowered his head and obediently followed.

"Junior brother!"

After watching the three leave, Lu Yuanshan's gaze fell on Chen Songhan: "For the Dragon-Tiger Battle three days from now, you'll be working with Xiaobai!"

"If anything goes wrong, you can protect him in time!"

"Can!"

Chen Songhan nodded with a smile.

In fact, even if Lu Yuanshan hadn't said anything, his master would have naturally followed suit.

"Okay, let's arrange it that way then!"

Lu Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "Everyone, disperse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the elders in the hall stood up and walked outside.

Jiang Xiaobai also stood up, but Chen Songhan looked at him and said, "Xiaobai, come with me!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Although Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled, he still respectfully responded.

But as soon as he took a step, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai's lips twitched, and he glanced back.

The princess had already withdrawn her hand, appearing as if she hadn't done anything.

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai could only swallow his anger.

Yes, this woman is still angry, so he... should probably avoid provoking her.

Led by Chen Songhan, the group passed through two long corridors and soon arrived at another residence.

A pine tree grows in the courtyard, and a pebble path leads to a three-story pavilion.

The pavilion's eaves were slightly upturned, exuding an antique charm that was pleasing to the eye.

"Please sit down!"

After entering the room, Chen Songhan gestured to the side.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and sat down, and Tang Ningshuang and Chen Jian also found their own seats.

The eldest princess stood behind Jiang Xiaobai, still playing the role of her personal maid.

Chen Songhan picked up the teapot and poured Jiang Xiaobai a cup of tea, saying, "Xiaobai, I remember your father saying that you've never liked martial arts since you were a child!"

"However, judging from your current aura, you should also have internal energy supporting you, right?"

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I was taught martial arts once, but I'm not sure what level I reached!"

"Oh?"

Chen Songhan raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder: "Relax, let me take a look!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded.

Chen Songhan slowly mobilized his internal energy, probing into Jiang Xiaobai's body through his palm.

A moment later, surprise flashed across Chen Songhan's face as he withdrew his hand and said, "You've reached the first rank now!"

"First-class?"

Chen Jian, sitting next to him, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then exclaimed in astonishment, "No way?"

"My brother Jiang is already this strong at the first rank, so if he reaches the ninth rank, wouldn't he be able to fly straight to the heavens?"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

Chen Songhan couldn't help but chuckle twice, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a more serious expression: "Besides, your internal energy is quite unique!"

"There are two completely different internal forces at work; logically, they should be in conflict with each other!"

"But within your body, they blend together perfectly, circulating and complementing each other!"

Chen Songhan stroked his beard and exclaimed, "The person who laid such a foundation for you must be no ordinary person!"

"Oh, those two, one with white hair and dressed in black, the other in black with white hair!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

"The Crimson Elders?!"

Chen Songhan, as if struck by a sudden thought, exclaimed in surprise, "It is said that the two of them practice the Yin-Yang Limitless Technique!"

"This internal energy cultivation method is extremely unique, requiring two people to operate simultaneously. Unexpectedly, this foundation... has now gathered within your body!"

"Grandpa, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

"That's definitely a good thing!"

Chen Songhan said, "It is said that this internal energy cultivation method can integrate all techniques, meaning that any move can be brought to its full potential in the face of this Yin-Yang Limitless Technique!"

"Unfortunately, no one has yet been able to gather together to practice these internal energy cultivation methods!"

"Now that they are passing on their skills to you, it's truly a blessing for you!"

"That's great!"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up.

"Yes, but even with a good foundation, it's all wasted if you don't cultivate diligently!"

Chen Songhan said, "You still need to practice what you're supposed to practice; you can't let it go to waste!!"

"this……"

Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, I felt like my internal energy increased after sleeping for a night!"

"Is it possible that this technique... can operate on its own while you're asleep?"

"Haha, how is that possible!"

Chen Songhan laughed after hearing this: "Internal energy cultivation emphasizes the circulation of qi and blood through the meridians; a slight mistake could injure oneself!"

"How can one's internal energy increase on its own while asleep?"

At this point, Chen Songhan paused, "Unless... someone secretly transferred their power to you while you were asleep!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, then turned around and looked at the princess.

Could it be...

Is the change in him every time he wakes up due to this woman secretly helping him?

The princess noticed Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, and her face under the bamboo hat immediately became somewhat unnatural.

"Young master, why are you looking at me like that?"

The princess gritted her teeth and said, "This servant... is too lazy to help you!!!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the princess raised her foot and stomped hard on Jiang Xiaobai's instep under the table.

That bastard took advantage of her when she was passing on her skills.

It makes me so angry just thinking about it!!

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai winced in pain and quickly pulled his foot back, looking utterly helpless.

However, seeing how angry the princess was, he was almost certain that this woman might have actually done it!

Chen Songhan saw these little actions, smiled, but didn't expose them. Instead, he stood up and went into the inner room.

A moment later, when Chen Songhan reappeared, he was holding a yellowed book.

"Xiao Bai, you take this!"

Chen Songhan handed the book to Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This is a set of fist techniques from our Dragon Tiger Sect. The moves aren't particularly complicated, but they are powerful and solid!"

"If you could learn this, it would be quite useful for self-defense!"

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come and ask me anytime!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and took the boxing manual with both hands.

"You are welcome!"

Chen Songhan waved his hand, sat down again, and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "By the way, Xiaobai, you insisted on taking on this Zhenfeng Envoy position; you must have some backing, right?"

"have!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded frankly, his smile becoming mysterious: "However... I won't tell Grandpa the specifics yet!"

"Grandpa will see it in three days!"

"You silly child, you're playing coy with me!"

Chen Songhan chuckled and shook his head, but didn't press further: "Fine, since you're confident, then do your best!"

"If you can truly suppress all the martial arts figures, not only will the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Hidden Edge Sect be grateful for your help!"

"Your Jiang family's influence in the martial arts world will also be different!"

"I know!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

This is one of the reasons why he was willing to accept the position of Zhenfeng Envoy.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to remember something, and looked up at Chen Songhan, saying, "By the way, Grandpa, may I ask you a question too?"

"Ask away!"

Chen Songhan nodded slightly.

"This Hidden Edge Sect..."

Jiang Xiaobai slowly spoke, "What on earth is it that could attract so many people from the martial arts world?!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai's face was full of curiosity...

……

It's past midnight tonight, no need to wait!
