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

“Eh…”

Jiang Xiaobai was surprised for a moment, then smiled and waved again in the direction of the woman before leading Chen Jian and the other two into the Dragon Tiger Sect.

At this moment, on the mountaintop, two figures could be seen standing behind the woman in the white dress.

One was an elderly man in blue, and the other was a young man carrying a long sword.

At this moment, the old man looked at Jiang Xiaobai, who was walking away, and then at the woman in the white dress, his face full of surprise.

That's right, their sect leader has always been aloof and cold.

Normally, even when facing the elders of the sect, he rarely responds.

But just now, Jiang Xiaobai merely waved from afar, and their sect leader... actually responded!

Such situations are truly rare!

The young man stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xiaobai's back.

"Sect Master, who is that...?"

The old man in blue looked at the woman in white and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, he's Jiang Xiaobai, the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

The woman in the white dress responded softly.

"Ha, so he's that infamous playboy!"

The young man smiled faintly, his mockery undisguised: "I didn't expect him to come to Longhu Mountain too!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the white dress turned her head and gave the young man a cold look: "That's still better than you!"

After speaking, the woman in the white dress did not linger any longer. With a swift movement, she headed towards the direction of the Hidden Edge Sect.

"what?"

The young man stood there, stunned and unable to process what had happened.

The old man in blue's expression also became quite interesting.

Although their sect leader is aloof, he never shows favoritism to anyone without a reason.

Peng Xiao had only said that Jiang Xiaobai was a playboy, yet the sect leader had already retorted so strongly.

Things here are probably... not so simple!

"Peng Xiao!"

The old man in blue glanced at the young man and said with a chuckle, "It seems you can't just say things carelessly in the future!"

Although Peng Xiao is young, his status within the Cangfeng Sect is not low.

Because of his exceptional talent, he achieved the seventh rank of strength at a young age, which is why he was promoted to an outer elder by the sect.

Normally, Peng Xiao has a very high opinion of himself.

But just now...

A spoiled brat whom he looked down upon was actually praised by the sect leader himself as being better than him.

This is quite a blow!

Peng Xiao's expression turned slightly grim as he looked up down the mountain.

When his gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai's retreating figure, Peng Xiao's expression clearly turned cold.

He gave a final, heavy snort before leaving the area.

……

Upon returning to his residence, Jiang Xiaobai immediately went to his room.

Moreover, he made sure to lock the door from the inside.

After doing all this, Jiang Xiaobai sat down on the edge of the bed and took out the boxing manual that Chen Songhan had given him.

But before he could turn two pages, footsteps came from outside the door.

The next moment, bang!

The door lock was broken by the internal force, and the door also bounced open.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest princess slowly walked in from outside, her eyes falling on Jiang Xiaobai through her bamboo hat.

"Young master, your servant has come to attend to you!!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai swallowed hard as he looked at the imposing princess.

He had a feeling that this princess was there to kill him!

Over the next three days, Jiang Xiaobai truly experienced just how deep this woman's desire for revenge was.

"Young master, Elder Chen instructed that you must not slack off in your martial arts practice. I will serve you as you practice your punches!"

"Young master, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage to relax your muscles and bones!"

"Young master, are you hungry? Have something to eat. There's a pound of sugar in this; it's sweet and delicious, you'll definitely love it!"

"Young master, your fist technique isn't like that. Let me demonstrate a punch on you; don't worry, you'll only use twenty percent of your strength!"

"Young master, wake up! I don't have anything else to say, I just want you to get up and go back to sleep!"

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiaobai's whole body ached, so he didn't want to move at all this early in the morning.

But as a figure entered from outside, Jiang Xiaobai caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, jumped up, and looked at the princess, saying, "Princess, what are you up to so early in the morning!"

"Young master, you mustn't speak carelessly about who the eldest princess is!"

The eldest princess, wearing a bamboo hat, gritted her teeth.

That bastard, he's not even going to pretend anymore, is he?

But she wouldn't allow it!

With this thought in mind, the princess's face was filled with smiles: "Young master, this servant will help you get dressed!"

"..."

……

Inside the courtyard, Chen Jian and Tang Ningshuang had gotten up early and were practicing outside.

Tang Ningshuang's longsword kept changing, while Chen Jian fought bare-handed, his punches and palm strikes generating constant gusts of wind.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from Jiang Xiaobai's room.

Hearing the commotion inside the room, Tang Ningshuang paused slightly with her long sword in hand, then shook her head helplessly, her face filled with sympathy.

After a few days, she's gotten used to it.

Chen Jian glanced towards the room and exclaimed with admiration, "This young lady has truly gone to great lengths for Brother Jiang!"

He did manage to figure out some of the tricks of the trade.

Although the princess was a bit ruthless, she always managed to catch Jiang Xiaobai off guard when he made a mistake.

Therefore, although Jiang Xiaobai seemed to be suffering greatly these past few days, his progress in boxing skills was genuine.

After an incense stick had burned, the door finally opened.

Jiang Xiaobai came out from inside, his face full of a wry smile, and he even stretched his shoulders a couple of times as he walked.

The eldest princess followed behind, her lips slightly upturned beneath her bamboo hat and veil, clearly in a good mood.

Not long after, a disciple of the Dragon Tiger Sect walked into the courtyard carrying a food box.

As he put down his breakfast, the disciple looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Young Master Jiang, Elder Zhong has already gone down the mountain!"

"He asked me to tell you that after you've had breakfast, you can go directly to the back mountain!"

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in agreement.

After watching the disciple leave, the four of them sat down around the table and ate a simple meal.

During this time, the eldest princess picked up a few pieces of food and placed them in Jiang Xiaobai's bowl.

But when she picked up the third bite, the princess suddenly stopped.

That's not right!

She was clearly getting revenge on that scumbag, so why is she actually...serving him?!

Thinking of this, the princess gritted her teeth and put the food she had just picked up back into her bowl.

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

After breakfast, Jiang Xiaobai tidied up briefly and then led the three of them toward the back mountain.

When the group arrived at the back mountain, Jiang Xiaobai saw Zhang Xinnian and the others from afar.

Right now, several cannons have been pushed out and are neatly lined up on the open ground.

All one hundred soldiers were also fully armored and lined up in formation, scattered around the perimeter, looking ready for battle.

"Your Highness!"

Upon noticing Jiang Xiaobai, Zhang Xinnian's face lit up with excitement, and he quickly ran up, exclaiming, "Everything's ready!"

"The cannons are loaded, and the brothers have all eaten and drunk their fill. Now... hey, we're just waiting for those江湖 (jianghu) figures to arrive!"

"No problem!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, he noticed something.

From the direction of Cangfeng Mountain, four figures leaped down from a great height.

The four of them used the steep mountain wall to their advantage, and with their robes fluttering, they quickly landed not far from Jiang Xiaobai and the others.

And the one leading the charge was none other than Yu Shangwu…
