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

"Heh, you seem quite confident!"

The middle-aged woman noticed Jiang Xiaobai's confidence and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Indeed, even facing so many people from the martial arts world, Jiang Xiaobai can still remain calm.

This alone is something that ordinary young people cannot compare to.

"Moonlight!"

The middle-aged woman looked at Xu Yuehua and said with a smile, "Your son-in-law is indeed quite good!"

"That's right!"

Xu Yuehua's expression showed a hint of smugness.

The more she looks at her son-in-law, the more pleasing he seems to her.

That's why, no matter what happens today, she will try her best to help Jiang Xiaobai.

With this thought in mind, Xu Yuehua glanced at the people next to Jiang Xiaobai.

Upon seeing Yu Shangwu, Xu Yuehua's expression flashed with surprise, and she took the initiative to ask, "Is this Elder Yu of the Hidden Edge Sect?"

"Exactly!"

Yu Shangwu nodded in response, his tone also full of politeness.

He could hear Xu Yuehua and Jiang Xiaobai's conversation clearly.

Jiang Xiaobai kept referring to his mother-in-law as his mother-in-law, and Xu Yuehua's attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai was also extremely close, clearly indicating that the relationship between the two sides was not ordinary.

Therefore, Yu Shangwu naturally wouldn't be negligent.

"Elder Yu's visit this time..."

Surprised, Xu Yuehua smiled and asked, "Is it to preside over that Dragon-Tiger Fight?"

That's right, the people from the Dragon Tiger Sect had already explained the matter beforehand.

She personally thought this battle of wits was good; those without hidden weapons and those with grudges could resolve them all on stage.

To avoid conflicts arising behind the scenes and causing unrest.

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shangwu quickly waved his hand and said, "Our Cangfeng Sect, as the place where this event was held, is not suitable to take the lead!"

As he spoke, Yu Shangwu gestured towards Jiang Xiaobai: "The one presiding over this Dragon-Tiger Battle is Young Master Jiang!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehua's smile vanished instantly, and her brows furrowed.

If Jiang Xiaobai had only brought his soldiers and armor to intimidate the crowd, she wouldn't have thought much of it.

After all, if a conflict does occur, there will be others standing in front of them.

But if one can preside over a dragon-tiger fight, then it's a completely different story.

Whether it's a competition or a resolution of a feud, Jiang Xiaobai needs to personally step in to make decisions whenever trouble arises.

If not handled properly, it could offend an entire sect.

even……

It could offend even more powerful figures in the underworld.

The middle-aged woman next to him listened and also glanced at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise.

Clearly, no one expected that Jiang Xiaobai would shoulder such a heavy burden.

"Elder Yu!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuehua looked at Yu Shangwu and said, "I think we should have someone else handle this."

That's right, she didn't want to see her son-in-law take any risks for this.

Yu Shangwu naturally noticed Xu Yuehua's concerns and explained, "This is just a trial run for Prince Jiang on the first day!"

"If they're truly not suitable, we'll naturally find someone else!"

"Can……"

Just as Xu Yuehua was about to speak, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out: "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I can handle this!"

Xu Yuehua looked at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai stood there with a smile on his face, showing no sign of nervousness.

After a moment, Xu Yuehua finally sighed and nodded, saying, "Alright, then give it a try!"

"But... if any conflict really happens, you stay in the back and don't rush in for everything!"

"If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to my daughter!"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Xiaobai and Xu Yuehua chatted intermittently.

Meanwhile, people continued to arrive from the direction of the mountain road.

As noon approached, the number of people appearing on the mountain road gradually decreased.

At this moment, Zhong Lichun also came over with two disciples from the Dragon Tiger Sect.

Upon noticing Jiang Xiaobai's location, Zhong Lichun stepped forward and said, "Nephew, almost all the people from down the mountain have already arrived!"

"Now that you are the Commander of the Vanguard, it's your turn to take charge!"

"good!"

As Jiang Xiaobai nodded, he looked around and surveyed the surroundings.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but now, looking at the entire back mountain, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but be surprised.

Wow, there are quite a lot of people here!

Indeed, looking around, the riverbanks were filled with martial arts practitioners, numbering at least three hundred.

These are just the martial arts practitioners who arrived early.

If nothing unexpected happens, more people will arrive later.

However, we can't keep waiting forever.

After turning his gaze away, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Yu Shangwu and then led the way toward the smooth stone wall opposite.

Indeed, the area below the stone wall is much more open, making this a better location for the Dragon and Tiger to fight!

When Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the river, he looked down.

Finding that the deepest part of the river was no more than knee-deep, he simply lifted his clothes and waded across.

This scene surprised Yu Shangwu, who was following behind.

He hadn't expected Jiang Xiaobai to be so decisive.

When Jiang Xiaobai arrived in front of the smooth stone wall, he turned around and looked at the group of martial arts practitioners gathered there.

"Everyone!"

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai spoke up, but the noise of the discussion was so loud that not many people noticed him.

Just then, Tang Ningshuang spoke up, her inner strength accompanying her voice: "Everyone, please look this way!"

Upon hearing Tang Ningshuang's voice again, the previously noisy back mountain immediately quieted down considerably.

All eyes turned to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai first gave Tang Ningshuang a grateful look, then cleared his throat and said, "I am the commander of this Dragon-Tiger Battle!"

"From now on, whether it's a competition on stage or settling personal grudges, the decision will be made by this Commander of the Garrison!"

"If anyone breaks the rules, this Commander will handle it personally!"

As Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, it was clear that everyone's expressions varied.

Someone recognized Jiang Xiaobai, and their face showed surprise.

Some people exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.

That's right, Jiang Xiaobai looks so young, what qualifications does he have to stand there?

Helian Zhaoyue frowned.

What's wrong with everyone? There's always this bastard!

Why did you end up here, acting as a sentinel?

While Helian Zhaoyue was feeling slightly annoyed, a figure in a white dress stood atop the mountain, looking down.

Just then, another figure landed beside the woman in the white dress: "Sect Leader Chu, I didn't expect... you'd come too!"

The one speaking was Chen Songhan.

He was worried about Jiang Xiaobai's situation, so he came along to check on things.

If anything unexpected happens, it will be easier to intervene.

"Hmm, come and take a look!"

The figure in the white dress glanced at Chen Songhan, responded softly, and then looked down again.

Meanwhile, seeing that the number of people discussing the matter was growing, Jiang Xiaobai raised his voice again and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Xiaobai, and I am the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!"

"I……"

Before Jiang Xiaobai could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept in from below.

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and piercing.

Standing next to Jiang Xiaobai, Chen Jian acted immediately, reaching out and grabbing the stone, which landed steadily in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jian's gaze shifted and landed on a middle-aged man below.

"Hmph, you dare to mess with my best friend? You've got a death wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jian charged down: "Watch my Star-Absorbing Technique!!!"
