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

"what……"

"Gently, gently!"

Inside Qingxin Garden, several screams rang out as Jiang Xiaobai collapsed onto the table.

Xiao Yunshu stood behind, clapped her hands, and said with a smile, "Young Master, did I massage you comfortably?!"

"Comfortable!"

Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so comfortable, I'm almost dying!!"

Indeed, he felt as if Xiao Yunshu was about to pinch his shoulder blade off.

"Once my strength surpasses yours..."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunshu's smile deepened, and she began to move her hands again: "Young Master, please explain yourself clearly!"

"What happens after you surpass me?"

"It's nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at those delicate hands, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Ahem, I meant, even if my strength surpasses yours, I'll still let you pinch me!"

That's right, now is not the time to make any harsh statements.

"That's more like it!"

Xiao Yunshu gave a soft hum and sat down beside her, a faint smile on her face.

She can't handle this guy?!

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his shoulders and sighed. He then took out the "Diamond King Eight Skill" from his pocket and sat down to study it.

But before I could finish reading the first article, I heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaobai looked up and saw Chen Jian and Tang Ningshuang walk in one after the other.

Chen Jian was beaming with excitement, while Tang Ningshuang held a secret manual in her hand.

Clearly, both of them had chosen a cultivation method that suited them.

Brother Jiang!

When Chen Jian came in and saw Jiang Xiaobai, he quickly walked up to her and said, "Thank you so much this time!"

Indeed, he has already gained quite a lot from observing the sword wall.

Unexpectedly, he was able to enter the Hidden Edge Sect's collection pavilion and select a martial arts manual.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you're too kind!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "You're my closest friend!!"

Brother Jiang!

Upon hearing this, Chen Jian said with a face full of gratitude, "If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word!"

"You name who you want to mess with, and I, Chen Jian, will mess with them!"

"Hmph, even my own father has to step aside!!"

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed twice.

He might not believe it if someone else said it.

But... he truly believed what Chen Jian said!

Tang Ningshuang stood to the side, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Jiang Xiaobai, thank you so much this time!"

"Miss Tang, you don't need to be so polite!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "After we return to the capital, just wear a dress for a few days and show it to me!"

"cut!"

Tang Ningshuang rolled her eyes at Jiang Xiaobai: "You wish!"

After saying that, a hint of unease flashed across Tang Ningshuang's face.

This guy, he just had to bring up the very thing he didn't want to talk about!

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, stopped joking, and stood up, saying, "Let's go say goodbye to the Dragon Tiger Sect. We should head back to the capital!"

He doesn't want to talk about it, but right now that the topic of returning to Beijing comes up, he's really eager to go back.

The perfume business in the capital must have taken off by now.

and also……

Could Helian Zhaoyue and the others have already left?

With this in mind, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at Chu Qingci's door and gently knocked.

Seeing that no one answered the door, Jiang Xiaobai said directly, "Master, then we'll take our leave!"

After the voice faded and seeing no further movement inside, Jiang Xiaobai, though puzzled, didn't dwell on it and simply led Xiao Yunshu and the others away from Qingxin Garden.

……

When Jiang Xiaobai led the way and they returned to the back mountain area.

You can see that there are still many deep craters left on the ground, blasted out by cannons.

"Your Highness!"

A joyful voice rang out as Zhang Xinnian excitedly ran towards them from afar: "You're finally down!"

During this time, he and a hundred soldiers had been guarding this place, and he was getting bored to death.

"Get ready!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and patted Zhang Xinnian on the shoulder: "We're getting ready to go back to Beijing. You take the brothers and wait for me at the mountain gate!"

"I'm going to the Dragon Tiger Sect to say goodbye!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing the words "return to the capital," Zhang Xinnian immediately perked up, turned around, and began to call upon his hundred soldiers to get to work.

Jiang Xiaobai led Xiao Yunshu and the others towards the Dragon Tiger Sect.

Within the Dragon Tiger Sect, there are still many disciples.

Along the way, you can see disciples dressed in sect robes everywhere. Some are practicing boxing, some are practicing palm techniques, and some are exchanging sparring tips.

Jiang Xiaobai looked around, his expression filled with emotion.

When he arrived, he was only a first-rank official.

When he left, he had already reached the peak of the sixth rank.

He is now...

You could call yourself a little expert, right?

I wonder what his father's expression would be if he knew!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai's smile deepened.

Soon, Jiang Xiaobai brought Xiao Yunshu to the courtyard where Chen Songhan was.

Inside the courtyard, Chen Songhan and Lu Yuanshan were playing chess, looking incredibly relaxed.

"Little Bai greets Grandpa and Uncle!"

Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"Hey, you're back?"

Lu Yuanshan looked up at Jiang Xiaobai, stroked his beard, and said, "This time, you've certainly made a name for yourself in the martial world!"

"I underestimated you!"

He had also heard about what happened on the back mountain.

He even went to take a special look at the cannon.

Judging from the huge craters they created, the cannon was indeed incredibly powerful.

"You flatter me, Uncle!"

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"You've come here this time..."

Chen Songhan smiled and asked from the side, "Are you preparing to return to Beijing?"

"yes!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded respectfully and said, "I came here specifically to say goodbye to Grandpa and Uncle!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Chen Songhan nodded slightly and said, "The capital city is not like the Dragon Tiger Sect; there are many more twists and turns there."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to the Dragon Tiger Sect!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Jiang Xiaobai bowed respectfully again, then chatted briefly with the two before leaving with Xiao Yunshu and the others.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, they saw Zhang Xinnian and a hundred soldiers, who had already prepared the carriage.

"Let's go back to Beijing!"

"Brothers, let's head back to Beijing!"

Zhang Xinnian waved his hand and personally drove the carriage down the mountain.

Behind them, a hundred soldiers followed.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Xiaobai leaned against one side and began to reread "The Vajra King's Eight Skills".

Although the name of this technique is unpleasant, its content is extremely profound.

After reading for less than half an hour, Jiang Xiaobai felt his eyes getting sore and put the book down.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunshu didn't say anything, but placed her delicate hands on Jiang Xiaobai's shoulders.

Ok?

Feeling the perfect pressure, Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with surprise, then he leaned back comfortably and began to enjoy it.

You know what, this woman... sometimes, she's really, really good!

Just as things quieted down inside the carriage, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Jiang Xiaobai leaned forward slightly, steadied himself, and immediately asked outside, "Zhang Xinnian, why did you stop?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the carriage curtain was lifted from the outside.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in a white dress slowly walked into the carriage.

"Huh, a master?"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned when he saw who it was.

Indeed, the person who arrived was Chu Qingci.

After Chu Qingci sat down, she glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I'm also planning a trip to the capital!"

After speaking, Chu Qingci looked at Xiao Yunshu and said calmly, "I..."

"I hope I didn't disturb you, junior sister. I was just massaging your shoulders, weren't I?"

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Sure enough, Xiao Yunshu's voice rang out.

"You disturbed my young master by feeding him water!"

"And I was cold, so I'm bothering you... Then, young master, you gave me a hug!"

After speaking, Xiao Yunshu looked at Jiang Xiaobai, and while tightening her grip, whispered, "Young Master, am I right?!"

"..."

……

Two updates today, but don't worry, I'll make up for the missing ones later, and not only make up for them, but I'll make up for them even more!
