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

"Jiang Linquan!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess glared at Jiang Linquan, looking somewhat anxious: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Ha, whether I'm lying or not, you, Princess, know perfectly well!"

Jiang Linquan smiled and said, "When I have the chance, I will definitely write a letter to my elder brother and tell him about these things!"

"Haha, let's go!"

After saying that, Jiang Linquan laughed loudly, stepped on his right foot, and leaped onto the artificial hill. Under the cover of night, he sped away into the distance.

The princess was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward and said, "Hey, Jiang Linquan, wait for me!"

"Alright, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Linquan's voice rang out from afar: "Don't talk to me! I don't want my brother to misunderstand us!"

After speaking, Jiang Linquan's figure quickly disappeared into the night!

"Who are you? Who...who are you calling 'sister-in-law'?"

Seeing that Jiang Linquan had disappeared, the princess stood by the artificial hill, her face flushed with embarrassment.

The Jiang family members are all so infuriating!

Taking a deep breath, the princess waited until the heat on her face subsided before turning and walking towards the courtyard.

But after taking only two steps, she stopped.

Not far away, Jiang Xiaobai was standing there, arms crossed, watching her from a distance.

The princess's expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and stepped forward, asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I see you chatting with my second brother!"

Jiang Xiaobai gave a casual reply.

"He's not your second brother, he's a complete stranger!"

The princess looked intently at Jiang Xiaobai and said, enunciating each word clearly, "What...do you think?"

"Alright, so this is the unfamiliar second brother!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded softly, then stretched his body and walked into the courtyard.

The eldest princess stood there, stunned.

Yes, this guy is much calmer than she imagined.

However… thinking of Jiang Linquan's words "sister-in-law," the princess's face still flushed.

After pursing her red lips, the princess glared at Jiang Xiaobai's retreating figure before following him.

……

The next day arrived.

Jiang Xiaobai left the room early, and the Eldest Princess, Chen Jian, and Tang Ningshuang had also gotten up.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, the eldest princess habitually approached him and reached out to straighten his clothes.

After straightening her clothes, the princess placed her hand on Jiang Xiaobai's belt, paused, and said, "Today, stay away from that stranger from last night!"

"So that no one with ulterior motives sees this and misunderstands your relationship!"

"Okay, I'll be careful!"

Jiang Xiaobai responded softly.

"Um!"

The princess nodded in satisfaction, tightened Jiang Xiaobai's belt, and continued, "I will always stay by your side!"

"To supervise me?"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled helplessly and said, "You little maid, you're quite nosy!"

"Is it a lot?"

The princess snorted coldly and tightened her grip on her belt instantly.

hiss!

Jiang Xiaobai's waist tightened, and he immediately gasped: "You should get involved, you really should!"

"snort!"

The princess was satisfied after hearing this, and the pressure on her hands loosened a bit.

Shortly after, the disciples of the Cangfeng Sect who were delivering the food came in.

Not long after the group finished their breakfast, another disciple from the Hidden Edge Sect arrived.

But this disciple was there to check the number of Hidden Edge Tokens.

That's right, Jiang Xiaobai doesn't need to be assessed, but Chen Jian and Tang Ningshuang are.

After confirming that the five items were correct, the disciple led the two away from Qingxin Garden.

Since Jiang Xiaobai had nothing better to do, he wandered around the various assessment sites under the guidance of the Eldest Princess.

At this point, the first thing they look at is the entry-level assessment.

A long suspension cable runs between the two mountain peaks.

It's called a suspension rope, but it's really just a thin rope with a bottomless ravine below.

Those who participate in the assessment need to walk from one end of a thin rope to the other within a specified time.

Moreover, the mountain winds in the central area are incredibly strong.

As Jiang Xiaobai looked over, a man walked into the middle.

call!

A gust of wind swept by, and the man's robes fluttered loudly, causing his body to sway.

The man waved his hands wildly in mid-air several times before he could barely stand.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyelids twitched as he looked down the mountain. He glanced down at the bottom of the mountain before quickly looking away.

Yes, it looks scary.

If this falls, I'm afraid we won't be able to find the person again.

Thank goodness... he doesn't have to take the exam!

After leaving the place of mourning, the two of them arrived at the second place of assessment.

The assessment here is significantly more difficult than the first one.

This place is called Windsword Valley.

The path inside the valley was very narrow, and above it lay a dense network of iron chains, with a sharpened longsword hanging from each chain.

The mountain wind swept through the valley, causing the numerous longswords to swing and clash, producing a clanging sound.

Those who participate in the assessment must walk through countless sharp swords.

In this way, if you are not careful, you may end up with several cuts on your body.

Of course, upon arriving at Wind Sword Valley, Jiang Xiaobai's steps also came to a halt.

Because he was here, he saw the man who delivered the letter yesterday.

Looking at that figure, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but smile.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Following Jiang Xiaobai's gaze, the eldest princess naturally noticed something and immediately said, "There's nothing to see here, let's go to the next place!"

After saying that, the princess reached out and pulled Jiang Xiaobai away, preparing to leave.

"No!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I want to count how many swords there are in Wind Sword Valley!"

"What's the point of counting this?"

The eldest princess frowned.

"So many swords hanging up there, how spectacular!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked up a few times, then turned to the princess and said, "What...aren't you curious?"

"Not curious!"

The eldest princess shook her head and said, "Besides, I also know the number; there are a total of one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven!"

"I don't believe it!!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I need to find someone to ask and see... if what you said is right!?"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai's gaze fell once again on the imposing man, and he raised his hand to call out, "Hey, stranger, come here for a moment!"

"I have something to ask you!"

"..."

The princess's expression changed immediately upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai's audacity: "Jiang Xiaobai, you..."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, Jiang Linquan also walked up from the other side.

Upon arriving, Jiang Linquan first glanced at the Princess, then his gaze fell on Jiang Xiaobai, and he said with a smile.

"May I ask... what instructions does Young Master Jiang have?"
