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

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, so you don't need to check!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yunshu's words, Jiang Xiaobai's expression immediately tensed up.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Yunshu arrived in front of him.

Jiang Xiaobai instinctively took two steps back, and his back quickly bumped into a tree.

Just as he was about to walk around her, Xiao Yunshu raised one hand and braced it against the tree trunk.

click!

The tree shook violently, and several cracks appeared on its bark.

hiss……

Jiang Xiaobai broke out in a cold sweat, and silently withdrew the foot he had just raised.

Xiao Yunshu carefully examined Jiang Xiaobai, and after confirming that he was indeed unharmed, the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

"Young master, you... you must have enjoyed the blessings of having two women at the foot of the cliff this time, right?"

As she spoke, Xiao Yunshu moved closer to Jiang Xiaobai and whispered, "Also, my senior sister's Nine Crossings of the Wind, she usually wouldn't teach me, so why did she teach it to you?"

"Young master, I'm so envious...!"

Xiao Yunshu practically gritted her teeth as she spoke the last few words.

"that……"

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to explain, Xiao Yunshu placed her hand on his waist and pinched him hard with her jade-like fingers: "How is it?"

"Young master, are you so reluctant to come up from down there?!"

"Do you even know what I've been up to these past two days... Anyway, were you wrong or not!"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"

Jiang Xiaobai gasped, but dared not push Xiao Yunshu away. He could only nod with a wry smile.

Why did he feel this woman...?

Something's not right!

However, just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Xiao Yunshu's back and his expression immediately became awkward.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's reaction, Xiao Yunshu turned around and glanced at him, also slightly taken aback.

Tang Ningshuang and Chen Jian were standing not far away, staring straight at the two of them.

"I...I didn't see anything!"

Noticing Xiao Yunshu's gaze, Tang Ningshuang hurriedly said, "You two continue!"

After saying that, Tang Ningshuang turned around and left quickly.

Chen Jian scratched his head, and then silently turned and left.

"..."

Xiao Yunshu's face flushed slightly as she withdrew her hand from the tree, then glared at Jiang Xiaobai: "Let's go back first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yunshu walked towards the Xuanlong Gate.

However, as she passed Qin Zhaoye's corpse, Xiao Yunshu paused, then kicked it, saying, "Hmph!"

boom!

Qin Zhaoye's body flew directly into the nearby bushes and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xiaobai was about to follow when he noticed something left where Qin Zhaoye's body had been lying.

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai bent down and picked it up, discovering it was a ring-shaped jade pendant.

The jade pendant feels warm and smooth to the touch, and its surface is carved with some strange patterns, making it look very exquisite.

After glancing at it twice, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't figure out what was going on, so he temporarily put it into his pocket.

When the two returned to the Xuanlong Gate, they saw Chu Qingci and the five Heavenly Elders already standing there.

Xie Qianjun, however, has disappeared without a trace.

"Where is Xie Qianjun?"

Xiao Yunshu stepped forward, glanced around, and asked curiously.

They got away!

Chu Qingci replied simply, "He's quite strong. If he's determined to leave, we can't stop him!"

"Oh……"

Xiao Yunshu snorted coldly after hearing this: "He's lucky he ran fast!"

"Um!"

Chu Qingci nodded slightly, her gaze returning to the Xuanlong Gate: "Let's continue!"

After speaking, Chu Qingci looked at Feng Jitong and the other two and said, "Elder Feng, Elder Nie, Elder Wang, the three of you should now pass on the Concealed Edge Technique to Young Master Jiang!"

"Now?"

Feng Ji and the other two were stunned for a moment.

"Yes, right now!"

Chu Qingci calmly stated, "Young Master Jiang possesses twenty-four Concealed Edge Tokens; he is qualified!"

"Alright then!"

Feng Jitong didn't say anything more, turned to Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Kid, come with us!"

Jiang Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.

However, the thought of the four levels of Hidden Edge Force still filled him with some anticipation.

He nodded immediately and followed Feng Ji and the others to the other side.

After the others had walked away, Xiao Yunshu looked at Chu Qingci and said, "Senior Sister..."

"Don't...don't talk to me, I don't want to hear it!"

Chu Qingci's expression tightened, and she turned and walked away.

"Oh dear, senior sister!"

Xiao Yunshu was not about to give up so easily and quickly followed after her, saying, "I'm just a little worried about Senior Sister's health!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yunshu paused, then came to Chu Qingci's side and said, "Senior Sister, the one you were given... should be the Meridian Locking Powder, right?"

"I've heard that when this poison takes effect, it causes weakness all over the body, a chill that penetrates the body, and unbearable thirst!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingci's face appeared somewhat unnatural, and he quickened his pace.

Seeing Chu Qingci's expression, Xiao Yunshu immediately understood. She scoffed and said, "Even if Senior Sister didn't say it, I could guess!"

With that, Xiao Yunshu cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Oh dear, Young Master Jiang, I'm cold... quickly give me a hug!"

"Oh dear, Young Master Jiang, I'm thirsty! Quickly, give me some water!"

"Xiao Yunshu!"

Chu Qingci stopped in her tracks and turned around, her face already flushed with embarrassment: "You...you shouldn't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't do that!!"

"snort!"

Xiao Yunshu crossed her arms and snorted coldly, glaring fiercely in the direction Jiang Xiaobai had left: "That was that bastard, he took the initiative!"

After saying that, Xiao Yunshu imitated Jiang Xiaobai's tone and said, "Master, are you cold? Let me give you a hug!"

"Master, are you thirsty? Let me feed you!!"

"Junior sister..."

Chu Qingci's face turned bright red, but she quickly calmed down and looked at Xiao Yunshu, who was gritting her teeth, and spoke softly.

"You...do you like him?!"

"Oh no, how could that be!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshu's expression flashed with a hint of panic as she said, "Senior Sister, please don't talk nonsense!"

"Hmph, I'm so outstanding, how could this scoundrel be worthy of me?!"

As she spoke, Xiao Yunshu suddenly changed the subject, turning to look at Chu Qingci with a smile, and said, "Then, Senior Sister... you haven't fallen for him, have you?"

After hearing this, Chu Qingci pursed her red lips and remained silent.

what?

Xiao Yunshu stared blankly at Chu Qingci in disbelief, saying, "Senior Sister, you wouldn't really..."

"I...have other things to do!"

After hurriedly finishing her words, Chu Qingci stepped away, disappearing quickly from the vicinity of Xuanlong Gate.

Xiao Yunshu stared at Chu Qingci's figure, a look of shock flashing across her eyes. Then she glared at Jiang Xiaobai.

"You scoundrel! All you do is flirt with other women! Just wait until I get back, I'll strangle you!"

After saying that, Xiao Yunshu clenched her jade-like hands tightly and let out a heavy snort...
