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

"Oh, nothing much to advise you on!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he pointed to the longsword hanging in the valley: "I just want you to guess how many swords are hanging in this Wind Sword Valley!"

"There should be over a thousand!"

Jiang Linquan glanced around Wind Sword Valley and responded.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise, "Then guess again, when were these swords... hung up?"

"Judging from its sharpness, it should be from the last two years!"

Jiang Linquan continued his response.

Indeed, these swords in the valley, despite being exposed to wind and sun, still gleam with a cold light.

Therefore, this period will not exceed three years.

"Yes, I think the same way!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in admiration, then continued to ask questions intermittently.

For example, why is this place called Wind Sword Valley, and why do the swords move so fast?

Even when it rains, will the swords here rust?

Jiang Linquan also answered in response.

The eldest princess stood to the side, initially somewhat wary.

But faced with Jiang Xiaobai's nonsensical questions, the wariness disappeared, but the doubts deepened.

Yes, what is all this? It's a complete mess.

Jiang Xiaobai called Jiang Linquan over just to ask these questions?

Gradually, after Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Linquan had discussed about a dozen issues, they finally stopped.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he gave Jiang Linquan a thumbs-up: "Since you guessed so well, then... I have a few personal questions I'd like you to guess too!"

"Oh, Young Master Jiang, please speak!"

Jiang Linquan nodded slightly.

"That's how it is..."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Jiang Linquan and said, "I have an elder brother and a second elder brother!"

"I heard they fell off a snow cliff. Guess... are they dead or not?!"

"Oh, then I guess those two are lucky and must be alive right now!"

Jiang Linquan did not hesitate and gave the answer directly.

"good!"

Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed in admiration, "Then guess where my older brother is right now?"

"this……"

Jiang Linquan frowned and pondered for a moment: "Your Jiang family has always guarded the northern border and fought against Bei Yu for many years!"

"I bet he...could he be somewhere in Beiyu?!"

"ah!!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked surprised.

No, what is his older brother doing in Beiyu?

Ultimately, his elder brother was a member of the Jiang family.

If this identity were exposed in Beiyu, it would be extremely dangerous!

The eldest princess, standing to the side, could no longer bear to listen.

These two are truly remarkable; one dares to ask, and the other dares to answer.

The princess immediately spoke up, "I..."

"You little maid, shut up!"

Before the princess could speak, Jiang Xiaobai retorted, then looked at Jiang Linquan and continued, "Then guess where my second brother is?"

"Your second brother?"

Jiang Linquan shook his head: "This might be a bit difficult!"

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Linquan finally spoke: "It's like this, because I'm from Suzhou."

"Or... I'll guess your second brother is also in Suzhou!"

"Huh!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and said, "You know what, your guess might actually be... possible!"

The eldest princess listened from the side, gritting her teeth.

So this is what Jiang Xiaobai was waiting for all along!

Jiang Xiaobai noticed the princess's expression but didn't pay it any mind, moving closer to Jiang Linquan.

"Then guess why they haven't come back, since they're still alive?"

"Hey, Jiang Xiaobai, you've gone too far!"

At this moment, the eldest princess finally couldn't hold back any longer, glaring at the two of them and saying, "That's enough!!"

"I think... let's go somewhere else and take a look!"

After saying that, the princess forcibly pulled Jiang Xiaobai away.

Seeing the princess's reaction, Jiang Xiaobai smirked and said, "Fine, then I won't ask!"

That's right, even if he hadn't asked, the answer would have been pretty much confirmed.

If nothing unexpected happens, his eldest and second eldest brothers were probably rescued by the eldest princess.

Moreover, the three of them must have reached some kind of agreement.

Therefore, his two older brothers are unable to return for the time being.

If that's the case, then that would be interesting.

What was the agreement between the three of them?

And... why did the eldest princess do this?

However, at least from the current situation, the eldest princess should not have any ill intentions towards the Jiang family.

Otherwise, the princess would not have saved the two of them.

His older brothers, however, would not obey him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly and turned to look at Jiang Linquan: "Um... if I have the chance, I'd like to take a trip to Suzhou!"

"If fate allows, let's sit together again sometime!"

"No problem!"

Jiang Linquan smiled and agreed.

Seeing that Jiang Linquan had agreed, Jiang Xiaobai turned his gaze away and followed the princess away from Wind Sword Valley.

Jiang Linquan stood there, watching Jiang Xiaobai's retreating figure, his surprise deepening.

Is this still the younger brother he remembers, the one who idles away his days?

when……

You've become so smart!

Surprised, Jiang Linquan watched the two walk away before turning around and heading towards the assessment site.

After walking a distance with the princess, Jiang Xiaobai slowed down.

"Hmph, are you satisfied now!"

The eldest princess glared at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Huh? What do you mean, 'satisfied'? I don't understand. What are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the princess with a puzzled expression and said, "Oh, it can't be about my eldest brother and second brother, can it?"

"I was just letting him guess randomly, and since it's a guess, it's completely inaccurate!"

"Since it's not allowed, why are you still making him guess!"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said.

"Since we're just killing time anyway, let's guess for fun!"

"Okay, then guess what I want to do now!"

As she spoke, the princess's hands clenched tightly, making a creaking sound.

"I won't guess!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, but quickly grinned and said, "However, I can continue to speculate about my eldest and second eldest brothers!"

Jiang Xiaobai paused, then said with a smile, "I guess it has something to do with our current dynasty's eldest princess!"

"What do you think, Princess?"

"Excuse me, I misspoke. It should be... little maid, what do you think?"

"..."

The princess's face turned bright red.

But before she could do anything, Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter and ran out.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you stand right there for me!"

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and chased after him.

A short while later, Jiang Xiaobai looked at the deep teeth marks on his arm and said with a wry smile, "No, how come you look just like Helian Zhaoyue!"

That's right, he was bitten by Helian Zhaoyue when he was at the Court of State Ceremonies.

"That's different, she bit her other arm!"

The eldest princess snorted coldly.

Jiang Xiaobai listened, his wry smile deepening. After lowering his sleeves, a look of curiosity returned to his expression.

"By the way, what do you think is inside that iron box from the Xuanlong Sect?!"

This news was relayed by his second brother, but does the eldest princess know anything about it?

He really wasn't sure!

"have no idea!"

Although the eldest princess shook her head, her eyes flickered.

"Let's go, let's go check out the Xuanlong Gate!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke up.

"Ah, now?"
