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

"I……"

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Chu Qingci knew she couldn't keep up the act any longer and could only sit up and say, "You...you knew everything?"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at!"

Chu Qingci's face turned even redder as Jiang Xiaobai laughed at her.

"Oh, it's nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled and said, "I'm just laughing at you for not being able to tell a lie!"

Indeed, if this had happened to the eldest princess, that woman could probably come up with a whole host of excuses with just a few words.

Even though Chu Qingci was shy, she still honestly admitted it!

Seeing that Chu Qingci lowered her head and stopped speaking, Jiang Xiaobai stopped teasing her and became more serious: "By the way, Master, how are you feeling now?"

After hearing this, Chu Qingci remembered the toxins in her body.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to carefully feel the sensations.

A moment later, Chu Qingci reopened her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "The poison is completely gone, and my internal energy has been fully restored!"

"real?"

Jiang Xiaobai's face immediately lit up with joy: "Then, does that mean we can leave this place?"

"Can!"

Chu Qingci responded softly, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "How is the Hidden Edge Force within you?"

"Don't worry, it's stable now!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded with a smile, raising his right hand while mobilizing the Yin and Yang energies within his body.

As the process changes, a portion of the power is rapidly transformed.

hum!

A sharp edge emanated from Jiang Xiaobai.

"good!"

After sensing it, Chu Qingci nodded slightly and said, "It has indeed reached the first level of Concealed Edge!"

After saying that, Chu Qingci stood up from the bed: "In that case, let's go back early!"

"Now?"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can stay here for a couple more days!"

Chu Qingci glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and spoke.

"Well... let's do it now!"

Jiang Xiaobai hesitated slightly, but ultimately made a decision.

The environment at the bottom of the cliff is indeed quite nice, and no one comes to disturb us.

But after so many days down there, he really didn't know what the situation was like on Cangfeng Mountain.

So it's best to go back sooner rather than later.

"Walk!"

Chu Qingci nodded and walked directly out of the wooden house.

"etc!"

Jiang Xiaobai then remembered something, turned around and went to the wooden table, and picked up the ancient zither engraved with the words "Huang Ting".

Upon seeing this, Chu Qingci's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say anything and pushed open the door to walk out of the wooden house.

The two followed the mountain slope down and eventually returned to the spot where they had fallen.

At this moment, the river water brought by the heavy rain has receded, and apart from being a bit muddy, the surrounding area has returned to its original state.

Chu Qingci stood there, her gaze fixed on the cave where they had first lived.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Xiaobai noticed this and couldn't help but feel curious.

"It's nothing!"

Chu Qingci withdrew her gaze, paused briefly, and then looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "About this fall!"

"You...you're not allowed to tell anyone!"

"Not even a little bit?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow.

"this……"

Chu Qingci hesitated for a moment: "I can only say a little bit at most!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai laughed again.

It has to be said that this Sect Master of the Hidden Edge Sect is sometimes... quite adorable.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai laughing incessantly, Chu Qingci pursed her red lips, said nothing, and instead looked up at the cliff above: "Let's go up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qingci grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's clothes, lightly touched the ground with her feet, and carried him straight into the sky.

……

At this moment, outside the Xuanlong Gate.

A large number of martial arts practitioners gathered here, whispering among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at the heavy stone gate carved with dragon patterns.

According to the rules, as long as one person gets the chance to open the Xuanlong Gate, the rest of the martial arts world can come and watch.

After all, what lies within the Xuanlong Gate has always been a mystery in the martial arts world.

If someone is able to open it, they will have witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The eldest princess stood at the very front of the crowd.

Feng Jitong, Nie Tianwen, and the other four elders stood beside her.

Not far away, Tang Ningshuang and Chen Jian could also be seen.

Looking again at the Xuanlong Gate, two people were seen exploring the stone gate.

One of them was Helian Mingchuan.

The other person was Jiang Linquan, dressed as a disciple of Yipintang.

The eldest princess stood quietly to the side, without urging anyone to hurry.

Those who reach this stage will have three days to conduct their research.

Within three days, no matter what method is used, as long as the Xuanlong Gate can be opened, the test will be considered a success.

And today is already the second day.

At this moment, in front of the Xuanlong Gate, Helian Mingchuan frowned as he looked at the stone gate, pacing around and around, his anxiety impossible to conceal.

Helian Zhaoyue stood below, seemingly lost in thought.

This Xuanlong Gate was much harder to open than she had imagined.

It seems that getting what's inside won't be easy.

but……

She did come up with a solution.

That's right, we'll just use Jiang Xiaobai's cannon to blast it open!

But as soon as the thought popped into her head, Helian Zhaoyue suppressed it.

Putting aside the fact that the Hidden Peak Sect would absolutely not allow them to blow up the gate, even if they did, Jiang Xiaobai's men would never lend her the cannon.

"Heh, what's wrong? Is it difficult to open this Xuanlong Gate?"

Just then, a voice laced with sneer rang out from behind: "Why don't you let me give it a try?"

Ok?

Many people present turned around at the same time.

Several figures walked over from a distance, and the one leading them was none other than Fu Yuanzong, who had been driven down the mountain a few days ago.

"They're from the Western Desert, how dare they come back?"

Upon seeing Fu Yuanzong, Feng Jitong's face immediately darkened: "You're courting death!"

After speaking, Feng Jitong took a step forward, and his internal energy began to surge.

That's right, their sect leader and Jiang Xiaobai were ambushed by Fu Yuanzong and others and fell down.

Nie Tianwen and the others who were standing next to Feng Jitong also looked rather grim, and they were all ready to make their move.

But at that moment, the eldest princess raised her hand and stopped Feng Jitong.

"Don't rush!"

The eldest princess looked at Fu Yuanzong, a smirk playing on her lips, and said, "Let's wait for my senior sister and Jiang Xiaobai to return and let them take their own revenge!"

As she spoke, the princess's gaze fell on another person.

This person was none other than Qin Zhaoye!

They've all come!

Thinking of this, the eldest princess looked at Fu Yuanzong again and said, "You have quite the nerve, actually... daring to come to our Cangfeng Sect?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Fu Yuanzong chuckled indifferently and said, "Heh, right now... even your sect leader is gone, who else do I need to fear?"

After saying that, Fu Yuanzong's eyes flashed with mockery, and then he stepped aside.

From behind, a figure slowly walked out.

The moment the princess saw this person, the smile on her face faded slightly, and her brows furrowed...
