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

"What, is there a problem with this letter?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's reaction, the eldest princess couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"Hmm, there's a problem!"

As Jiang Xiaobai sat down again, he looked at the puzzled Princess and said, "The letter tells me that I must open the Xuanlong Gate of the Cangfeng Sect!"

"Then... take one of the metal boxes inside!"

"Open the Xuanlong Gate and take the iron box?!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess immediately took the letter, glanced at it, and then, a glint in her eyes, said, "This letter... is indeed strange!!"

"Why are you being given this by the people from Yipintang?"

"Yipintang?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately laughed and said, "Do you think He Changgeng would be so idle as to send a letter just to remind me of this?"

"Oh?"

The eldest princess raised her head, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and asked, "Then who do you think it could be?"

"Heh, I guess..."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly and said, "This letter was either sent by my eldest brother or my second brother!"

"I don't think so!"

The princess's hand, which was pressing on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder, paused noticeably for a moment, but quickly resumed its normal motion: "I think that since the other party is a disciple of Yipintang, then he is a member of Yipintang. Just a heads-up!"

"Are you... covering for him?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

That's right. If He Changgeng really had something to say, he could have had his disciple deliver it directly. There was no need for such a troublesome process as sending a letter.

Besides that, the eldest princess's behavior was clearly a bit off.

"without!"

The eldest princess shook her head: "It's just a letter, what's there to hide?"

Despite saying this, the princess's eyes flickered even more clearly.

"Helian Zhaoyue said that no bodies of my eldest and second brothers were found at the foot of the snow cliff, so... I've always believed they're still alive!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced out of the courtyard again: "Even..."

"I suspect that the person who just left was my second brother!!"

The man who just left looked imposing, but his appearance was ordinary.

No matter how you look at it, it seems completely out of place.

His memory of his second brother matched perfectly in terms of physique and other aspects.

That's why he made that guess.

"Impossible. If that were true, wouldn't it be better for him to just acknowledge you as his wife?"

The eldest princess immediately denied it, saying, "Why would he disguise himself as someone from the First-Class Hall, and leave behind only this unsigned letter?!"

"Perhaps, seeing you around makes it inconvenient for him to show himself!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the Princess, a slight smile playing on her lips as she spoke: "Of course, there might be other reasons!"

The eldest princess must know something, and perhaps... she might even have had connections with her elder brothers.

But he couldn't figure out why they were hiding it.

Seeing that the princess remained silent, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again.

"Sigh... but I'm too lazy to get involved anymore. After all, for me, knowing that the two of them are still alive is enough!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at the Princess, saying, "What... do you think?"

"Tch, I have no idea what you're talking about!!"

The princess avoided Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, then smiled and said, "After all, she's just a little maid!"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

This woman's feigned ignorance is truly something else!

Jiang Xiaobai let out a breath, glanced at the letter in his hand again, folded it up, and put it in his pocket.

The eldest princess stood to the side, saying nothing more, but occasionally glancing out of the courtyard, lost in thought.

"Alright!"

After an incense stick had burned a while, Jiang Xiaobai stood up, stretched, and said, "It's getting late, I'm going to rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai walked into the room.

The eldest princess stood alone in the courtyard. After the door was completely closed, she turned and left the courtyard.

Under the cover of night, the Hidden Edge Sect was completely silent.

After leaving Qingxin Garden, the princess rose and fell several times, then, noticing something, she landed.

Soon they arrived at a secluded spot next to a rockery.

Just as the princess stopped, a figure emerged from the shadows.

It was the same man who had delivered the letter earlier.

Upon seeing the princess, the man immediately cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Linquan greets the Princess!"

"Jiang Linquan!"

The princess looked at the man, frowned, and said, "You...shouldn't you give me an explanation?!"

"explain?"

Jiang Linquan smiled, appearing completely unfazed: "I wonder what explanation the Princess wishes to hear?"

"Don't play dumb in front of me!"

The eldest princess stared at Jiang Linquan and said, "As agreed..."

"I know!"

Jiang Linquan interrupted the princess directly, his smile still on his face: "But I can't deliver this letter to you, so I can only give it to my younger brother!"

"So, are you sure that thing is in a metal box?!"

The eldest princess's eyes flickered.

"Yes, that's the result of my investigation!"

Jiang Linquan said, "Furthermore, the Northern Yu delegation is probably here for this very thing!"

The eldest princess listened thoughtfully, then took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your trouble, but it's still too dangerous for you to rush into the capital!"

"I just wanted to see Xiaobai too!"

Jiang Linquan smiled and said, "Now, my younger brother has not only become the top scholar in the imperial examination, but he has also arranged a marriage between his family and the Prime Minister's family!"

"That's really surprising!"

At this point, Jiang Linquan suddenly looked the princess up and down, a bright smile spreading across his face: "And, hehe..."

"What are you laughing at?"

The eldest princess frowned.

"I wasn't laughing at anything!"

Jiang Linquan smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that you didn't fancy either me or my older brother. So... hehe, you were waiting for my younger brother to grow up!"

"roll!"

The princess's face immediately turned cold: "You must leave the capital immediately!"

"You're not suited to be here right now. If the wrong people see you, no one can protect you!"

"Don't worry, I specifically learned the art of disguise!"

Jiang Linquan pointed to his face and said, "Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell anything!"

"Can't you tell?"

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "Your brother recognized you at first glance!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Linquan was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise: "How did he guess it?"

His appearance, and even his voice, were all disguised.

They didn't reveal any flaws just now.

It's just a letter, how could it be recognized so easily?!

"How should I know!"

The eldest princess spoke in an annoyed tone.

Take her own identity for example, didn't Jiang Xiaobai figure it out very quickly back then?

To this day, she still doesn't know where she slipped up.

The princess grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she gritted her teeth again.

Jiang Linquan's smile deepened as he looked at the princess: "However, my elder brother is far away in Beiyu, so he probably doesn't know about your interest in my brother, does he?"
