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

"metropolitan!"

Feng Jitong's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and say something.

There are quite a few martial arts practitioners here.

Chu Qingci's admission in front of so many people that these two awards were a favor to Jiang Xiaobai is not good for the reputation of Cangfeng Sect.

Moreover, not to mention outsiders, even the elders themselves did not know why the sect leader had set the number so rigidly.

Twenty pieces, twenty-four pieces!

Under normal circumstances, who could produce that?

Now they realized that those two numbers were indeed aimed at Jiang Xiaobai.

Feng Jitong's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something more, but Chu Qingci ignored him. Looking at Li Jingxing, who was standing there dumbfounded, she calmly said, "If you have nothing to say, then go back!"

"Of course I do!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxing's anger intensified: "The rules of the Concealed Edge Order have always been to treat everyone equally!"

"You know perfectly well that Jiang Xiaobai already has twenty-four coins, yet you still create an extra reward specifically for him. What kind of fairness is that!"

At this point, Li Jingxing sneered and looked at Jiang Xiaobai again, saying, "If that's the case, then why is he even participating in the assessment?"

"Why don't you just pass on the Hidden Edge Technique to him and then let him join the Xuanlong Sect!"

"Hmph, going through this whole process now is completely unnecessary!"

As Li Jingxing finished speaking, many people around him nodded secretly.

After listening, Chu Qingci pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, your suggestion is good!"

"Then... let's do it your way!"

Chu Qingci glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said calmly, "With the Concealed Edge Technique, including entering the Xuanlong Sect, Jiang Xiaobai doesn't need to participate in any further assessments!"

what?

The expression on Li Jingxing's face instantly froze.

Not only him, but many people present were also stunned.

no……

Li Jingxing's words were clearly sarcastic!

But why did Chu Qingci actually agree to his request?

Moreover, this way, Jiang Xiaobai doesn't even need to participate in the assessment, which would make things much easier!

After regaining his senses, Li Jingxing's face turned bright red, his chest heaved, and he opened his mouth as if to say something.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one.

After all, he was the one who made the suggestion.

"Ha ha!"

She knew her senior's temperament all too well.

Chu Qingci usually appears aloof and doesn't talk much, but once she makes a decision, she always keeps her word.

The original purpose of setting assessment rules was to pass my own test.

it's good now.

With just one sentence from Li Jingxing, Jiang Xiaobai was able to skip the assessment altogether.

Jiang Xiaobai stood to the side, his expression also showing a strange look.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Chu Qingci, he wasn't stupid and could naturally tell that the other party was intentionally taking care of him.

If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Qingci did this in gratitude for his composing of the music.

But the way they repaid him...

Isn't that a bit too direct?

As Jiang Xiaobai pondered in silence, Chu Qingci raised her head again and looked at everyone present.

"Anyone else have any objections? Please feel free to raise them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the land of the monument fell silent.

With Li Jingxing as a cautionary tale, even if some people harbored resentment, no one was willing to be the first to speak out.

Just when Chu Qingci thought no one would speak, a soft laugh came from the crowd.

"Hehe, I originally thought Dahua's rules were very strict!"

Fu Yuanzong slowly walked out of the crowd, his gaze first sweeping over Jiang Xiaobai, then landing on Chu Qingci: "Now it seems, he was nothing but a joke!"

"So-called fairness and justice seem to have amounted to nothing more than this!"

"I am the sect leader of the Hidden Edge Sect!"

Chu Qingci looked at Fu Yuanzong, her expression unchanged: "I set the rules!"

Fu Yuanzong's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak again, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out first: "Sect Master, I also have a suggestion!"

"explain!"

Chu Qingci glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and nodded slightly.

"Hey!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at Fu Yuanzong, saying, "Since they're demanding fairness and justice, then I think we should grant them that!"

"Therefore, I suggest that the Western Desert people's qualification for the assessment be revoked now!"

"They're no longer qualified, so they can't talk about fairness and justice. Theoretically... isn't that fairness and justice?"

"You son of a bitch..."

Fu Yuanzong's face darkened: "Your name is Jiang Xiaobai, right? You don't have that iron lump with you right now!"

"Believe it or not...?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Fu Yuanzong had only spoken halfway when an excited voice suddenly came from afar.

Everyone looked up and saw Zhang Xinnian running quickly toward the monument.

Behind Zhang Xinnian were more than twenty soldiers from the Duke's mansion.

Click!

The heavy wheels rolled over the bluestone, and a large, black cannon was also pushed over by the soldiers.

Upon seeing that familiar cannon barrel, Fu Yuanzong swallowed back what he was about to say, and his face turned pale instantly.

Cui Shengyou's eyelids twitched violently, and he pulled the people from the Xiaoyao Sect beside him back a few steps silently.

As for He Changgeng, he reacted even faster. The moment he saw the cannon, he hid at the back of the crowd.

He never wants to taste this stuff again in his life!

Helian Zhaoyue's expression also changed slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai's subordinates are truly ruthless.

They actually managed to bring this thing up here?

Although there is only one door, its deterrent power is undeniable, so who would dare to speak up easily?

Jiang Xiaobai was also taken aback, clearly not expecting this either.

After regaining his senses, Jiang Xiaobai's smile deepened, and he looked at Fu Yuanzong, saying, "Come on, continue, I'm listening!"

Fu Yuanzong's face twitched. He glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, then at the dark muzzle of the cannon, and ultimately said nothing.

After a brief silence, Fu Yuanzong turned his gaze to Chu Qingci.

"Sect Master Chu, as the Sect Master of the Hidden Edge Sect, you wouldn't actually listen to Jiang Xiaobai and expel us from the Western Desert, would you?"

As he spoke, Fu Yuanzong gritted his teeth and said, "After all, none of the rules you set before stipulated that people from the Western Desert couldn't participate!"

"oh!"

Chu Qingci nodded slightly: "I think Jiang Xiaobai's suggestion is excellent!"

"Therefore, from today onwards, the Hidden Edge Sect adds another rule: those from the Western Desert are forbidden from participating!"

"..."

Fu Yuanzong stood there, his expression blank once again.

Meanwhile, Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed instantly. She lowered her voice and said, "Remember, whatever you do now, don't mess with that bastard Jiang Xiaobai!"

"We're from Beiyu!"

"What if... this guy targets me? I'm afraid I won't be able to participate anymore!!"
