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

"It's out! It's out!"

Outside the Xuanlong Gate, as Jiang Xiaobai walked out, someone shouted first.

Suddenly, the martial arts practitioners who had been guarding outside were in a great commotion, all looking towards the Xuanlong Gate.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was the first to step out.

Following behind were Chen Jian, Tang Ningshuang, and Xiao Yunshu.

Feng Jitong and the other Heavenly Elders also turned their gazes to Jiang Xiaobai.

But Jiang Xiaobai didn't rush to speak. Instead, he turned around and placed his palm on the tail of the stone dragon.

That's right, this door must be closed for everyone to feel at ease.

As the hidden energy surged, a cracking sound rang out.

The heavy Xuanlong Gate slowly closed, finally shutting completely with a bang.

"Young Master Jiang!"

After the door closed, Feng Jitong first glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, then asked, "What did you take in this time?"

"Please allow me to examine it!"

"Oh……"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I didn't bring anything!"

"You didn't bring anything?!"

Feng Jitong looked surprised and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, but found nothing.

Just as he was about to say something, Feng Jitong suddenly noticed that Tang Ningshuang had drawn a sword.

That sword looked extraordinary.

When Tang Ningshuang went in, this sword wasn't there!

"This sword..."

"Oh, this sword!"

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and nodded, saying, "This sword was indeed taken from inside, but... it was a gift from me to Miss Tang!"

"So this is the only sword?"

Feng Jitong asked.

"No!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I also gave my little maid a metal box!"

A metal box?

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Helian Zhaoyue and the others immediately focused their attention on him.

Sure enough, there it was: the iron box that Xiao Yunshu was holding.

And that's exactly what they wanted.

Now, it seems it's probably not going to work!

Feng Jitong glanced at it, frowned, and before he could speak, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out again: "I'll also give a seal to my closest friend!"

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, Chen Jian opened his hand.

In his palm lay a black seal, about the thickness of a thumb.

Three items?!

Upon seeing this, Feng Jitong's expression changed immediately, and he shook his head, saying, "According to the rules, after entering the Xuanlong Gate, you can only bring out one item!"

"You brought out three items at once, that's too many!!"

"Mr. Feng, I didn't bring it!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Look at me, I don't have anything on me!"

"But those three items!"

"I already told you, those three items were gifts from me!"

"and you……"

"I didn't bring anything!"

"I……"

Feng Jitong was completely stunned by Jiang Xiaobai's combo attack, and opened his mouth as if to refute.

But... I just don't know how to say it.

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess smiled.

The martial arts practitioners present also wore strange expressions.

So, now that your mouth works, you can do this kind of thing?!

"Well, speaking of which..."

Jiang Xiaobai spoke again at this moment: "I've worked so hard all this time, and I haven't gotten anything in return!"

"Shouldn't your Hidden Edge Sect at least offer some compensation?"

"What?!"

Feng Jitong's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned.

This guy took three things from the Xuanlong Gate, not to mention...

it's over...

Do they, the Hidden Edge Sect, have to contribute something more?!

That's ridiculous!

"Just compensation!"

Jiang Xiaobai patted Feng Jitong's shoulder twice, his face serious, and said, "I've heard that your Cangfeng Sect has quite a few martial arts manuals. I'll go and pick some later!"

"It's settled then!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai didn't give Feng Jitong a chance to refute, stretched, and said, "Ugh, I'm exhausted after a long day!"

"Let's go back and rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai led the three of them outside.

After taking two steps, Jiang Xiaobai seemed to remember something, stopped, and looked at Helian Zhaoyue.

"By the way, Princess, when you're preparing to return to Beiyu, remember to let me know in advance!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up: "I am, after all, the imperial court's appointed escort, so I will definitely see you off personally!"

"Sigh, you all went through all that trouble to come all this way, only to end up with nothing..."

"What a pity!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai clicked his tongue twice with a look of regret, and then led the way away from the Xuanlong Gate.

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Watching Jiang Xiaobai's departing figure, Helian Zhaoyue's chest heaved with anger: "That bastard, he's infuriating!!"

"Why!"

Teng Zixiu stood to the side, watching the situation with a wry smile on his face.

Actually, they didn't lose unjustly!

Even the sect leader of the Hidden Edge Sect personally intervened to give Jiang Xiaobai special treatment.

What are they going to use to fight?

There's simply no comparison!

"Sigh, let's go back and talk about it first!"

Helian Mingchuan frowned, left a simple sentence, and led the way down the mountain.

Helian Zhaoyue stomped her foot hard, then gritted her teeth and followed after him with a face full of resentment.

They've wasted their time these past few days.

Not far away, Jiang Linquan watched the direction Jiang Xiaobai had left, a slight smile playing on his lips, before he too turned and left.

The martial arts practitioners present exchanged glances.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, they eventually dispersed.

Before long, the area outside Xuanlong Gate returned to calm.

"Hey, let's talk to our sect leader about this!"

Feng Jitong spoke up.

"Whether I tell him or not, I don't think the sect leader will listen!"

Nie Tianwen shook his head and left first.

Finally, when Feng Jitong was left alone, he scratched his head and said, "Jiang Xiaobai didn't bring any of his own; the three items were a gift..."

"Hiss, how did you calculate that? No, I need to go around in circles..."

……

the other side.

As Jiang Xiaobai walked back to Qingxin Garden, the contents of the will were still on his mind.

At that moment, he was somewhat amazed.

Because that late emperor was indeed ruthless.

It's possible that they guessed in advance the competition between the Eldest Princess and Xiao Jinxuan.

Because the late emperor valued the eldest princess, he prepared a backup plan for her in advance.

If the eldest princess truly desires it, she can ascend the throne by virtue of this imperial edict.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xiao Yunshu, who was standing to the side.

Later, this woman truly became an empress...

Ha, so he's become someone who's been served by the Empress?!

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh out loud at this.

"Oh dear, what are you thinking about, young master? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Xiao Yunshu glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said with a smile, "Come, tell me, let me hear it too!"

"Let me share in your joy, young master!!"
