" Since you've passed my test, you'll be the leader of the Jiang Zuo Alliance in the future. Little Shu, don't embarrass your father."
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscular old man's figure suddenly disappeared from the secret chamber. The stone wall behind him slowly opened.
No one would have thought that an underground stone chamber would be of such a scale.
Jinling-
After three days of traveling, the team finally saw the city wall of Jin Ling City.
Xiao Jingbai walked out of the carriage and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Jinling City.
Jing Bai, there are some things that you should let go of. After all, he's still your father."
A faint sword aura floated on his fingertips, his eyes were cold.
A white pigeon flew over Xiao Jingbai's head with the letter wrapped around its leg, heading toward the Xuanjing Bureau.
Xia Jiang, it's time to pay you a proper visit. It's my character to come and go."
The moment the team stepped into Jinling, the news spread throughout the Imperial City. Some people were happy, while others were worried.
Undoubtedly, most of the people were happy. Xiao Jingbai's performance in the Southern Territory once again confirmed that Daliang had a guardian.
There were many people who were worried. Basically, every royal family and noble did not like Xiao Jingbai.
In the nursing hall, Emperor Liang, who had just woken up, heard the news that Prince Bai had returned.
"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is the Grand Empress Dowager's birthday. Your Highness has always been the most punctual since young."
The meaning behind his words was to let Emperor Liang and the Empress Dowager meet on her birthday. With Xiao Jing Bai's respect for the Imperial Grandmother, he would not be too embarrassed on the birthday of Emperor Liang.
Imperial Uncle, I'll take my leave first. I think that fellow Jing Yan should be back by now."
Prince Ji nodded. Xiao Jingbai's departure was within his expectations. He would never choose to enter the palace at this time.
The goal of leaving was also very clear. Since Xia Jiang wanted to give him such a big gift, he had to leave.
If he didn't return the favor, wouldn't it be rude? Xiao Jingbai walked past the patrol camp and slowly landed at the gate of the Hanging Mirror Bureau.
At this time, the entrance of the Hanging Mirror Bureau was already filled with people. With Xia Chun and Xia Qiu as the leaders, everyone from the Hanging Mirror Bureau surrounded Xiao Jingbai in the middle.
Greetings, Your Highness White King."
" Is this how the Xuanjing Bureau treats their guests? I wanted to pay a visit to Head Paragon Xia."
The Heavenly Sword was gently placed on the ground by Xiao Jingbai. However, the tip of the sword was too sharp, and the stone on the floor was directly pierced through.
This scene made the people surrounding Xiao Jingbai feel a slight chill in their hearts. The person in front of them had killed tens of thousands of enemies and was ranked first on the Langya Board.
Everyone hated themselves for not accepting missions and staying in the Xuanjing Bureau.
Spring said,"Your Highness, the First Venerable Lord's body has been affected recently and it is inconvenient for him to see guests. Please forgive him."
Bai said," Since Head Paragon Xia's body is in a bad condition, I have to pay him a visit. If you're still worried, I'll leave my weapon here."
As he spoke, Xiao Jingbai ignored the Heavenly Sword that was stuck in the ground and slowly walked towards the gate of the Hanging Mirror Bureau.
Xia Chun and Xia Qiu immediately blocked Xiao Jingbai's face, and the people around them also pulled out their swords.
Bai said," Please move aside."
The long delay had already made Xiao Jingbai show annoyance. He had only come to loosen his bones.
" Your Highness, you…"
"Get lost!"
Xiao Jingbai snorted coldly. Everyone's swords were stuck into the ground uncontrollably. Even Xia Chun and Xia Qiu's unsheathed swords were stuck into the ground.
The two of them were tightly pressed to the ground by this pulling force. Everyone looked at Xiao Jingbai with fear in their eyes.
" He's really disobedient. Xia Jiang is still suitable to be a dog. He's still a little lacking when it comes to disciplining people."
Xiao Jingbai slowly walked into the Hanging Mirror Bureau. At this time, the Hanging Mirror Bureau was silent. Xia Jiang had actually sent everyone outside to stop him.
" Your Highness White King, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Why don't you let this old man welcome you?"
Xia Jiang suddenly walked out of the Martial Arts Pavilion. What Xiao Jingbai did not expect was that the other party's broken arm was actually reattached.
Xia Jiang's arm was destroyed by him personally, which meant that the arm on the other party's body was not his original arm.
I didn't expect Jinling to have such medical skills to be able to reattach Head Supreme Xia's arm."
Jiang said,"This is still a blessing from His Highness." At the mention of his arm, Xia Jiang's face darkened to the extreme.
The most shameful thing in his life was to have his arm cut off by Xiao Jingbai in the middle of an army.
Head Paragon Xia is really polite. I heard from your disciple that your body is in trouble, so I came to see you."
"Humph! Xiao Jingbai, just say what you want. Don't beat around the bush."
Xia Jiang was too lazy to continue playing dumb with the other party. He knew that the other party had guessed who had arranged the assassination.
Head Supreme Xia, there's no need to be so agitated. I'm only here to pay you a visit. I heard that Head Supreme Xia's martial arts have improved recently, so I'm here to teach you."
Xiao Jingbai! Don't forget that this is Jinling, not a place for you to behave atrociously.
Xia Jiang, who had conducted an in-depth analysis of Xiao Jingbai, of course knew what this move was. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid, but he was taking a gamble.
He was betting that Xiao Jingbai wouldn't dare to kill him. He was the Head of the Xuanjing Bureau personally bestowed by Emperor Liang.
Xiao Jingbai slowly spread his hands, and hundreds of Sword Qi suddenly emerged from his fingertips.
"The so-called 'dismemberment' means that I will cut you 3357 times, and you won't die. Don't worry! My skills are very good."
No!
Xia Jiang was shocked when he saw the dense sword qi coming at him.
The door of the Hanging Mirror Bureau was opened by a pure white hand. Xiao Jingbai walked out of the door, pulled out the Heavenly Sword, and left with Qinggong.
Xia Chunxiuqiu and the others also regained their mobility when Xiao Jingbai soared into the sky. Everyone hurriedly ran into the Hanging Mirror Bureau.
He saw Xia Jiang lying on the ground with sword wounds all over his body. Even with so many wounds, not a single drop of blood remained on the ground.
The dismemberment was still carried out, but Xiao Jingbai controlled the sword qi very well. Every sword wound did not cut the blood line.
However, it just happened to cut off the connection between the skin and the flesh, exposing the flesh to the air.
After doing all this, Xiao Jingbai came to his original residence. From the outside, the White King Mansion should have undergone a major renovation.
In order to build up the relationship between Emperor Liang and Xiao Jingbai, the original servants were all dismissed and replaced with the latest batch of people who were trained.
Looking at the place where he grew up, he felt a myriad of emotions.
Although he had told Emperor Liang that he wanted to break away from his father-son relationship, Emperor Liang still helped him repair the mansion.
Even if the other party had a motive, this favor could be considered to have moved Xiao Jingbai.
" Forget it, I don't have much money left. I'll save as much as I can."
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Jingbai knocked on the door of the White King Mansion, and two light footsteps came.
The door was opened by two girls who were less than 13 years old, which made Xiao Jingbai slightly stunned.
In the past, the servants in his mansion were all old men over sixty years old. Even if there were one or two young ones, they were still the eyes and ears of others.
" Are you His Highness White King?"
With white clothes and white hair, who else in the entire Daliang could have such a handsome face? The two maidservants immediately knelt on the floor and cupped their hands.
" No need for formalities. I don't like these formalities."
The two maidservants hurriedly stood up and one of them respectfully said.
" Your Highness, the White King Mansion has been rebuilt and many places have changed. Let me show you around."
Xiao Jingbai nodded gently, and then the maidservant said to another maidservant.
Nancy, quickly go and call the butler and tell her that His Highness is back."
Under the guidance of the little maidservant, Xiao Jingbai first came to a beautiful garden. The sound of cicadas and frogs made Xiao Jingbai feel relaxed and happy.
The sound of dense footsteps came from afar. Xiao Jingbai turned his head and saw an old woman rushing over with several servant girls.
" This old servant Zhao Nigao greets Your Highness."
" Elder, please get up quickly."
Seeing an old man in his sixties kneeling in front of him, Xiao Jingbai's heart could not bear it.
" Your Highness, you're crushing this old servant like this. Your Highness, do you still remember who this old servant is?"
I forgot."
The memories that had been sealed in the depths of her mind were awakened by Zhao Nigao. She felt that the woman in front of her looked so familiar.
It turned out to be the old woman who took care of her while she was breast-feeding, the servant of her mother.
If it was her, would she know her mother's identity?
Heavenly Spring Villa-
Under the protection of the three Flying Snow disciples, Xia Dong had already arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Spring Villa.
" Xiadong of the Xuanjing Division is here to investigate a case at Heavenly Spring Manor. I hope Manor Lord Zhuo can cooperate."
The cold voice came into the Heavenly Spring Villa, and Xiao Jingrui, who was still practicing his sword in the courtyard, was suddenly stunned.
Sister Xiadong is here?" Zhuo Dingfeng walked out of the main hall expressionlessly with a long sword in his hand.
Father, what are you doing?"
" You practice your swordsmanship first. Isn't Xia Dong from the Xuanjing Bureau a little too arrogant? I'll go meet her."
As he spoke, Zhuo Dingfeng opened the door and was greeted by a token with the words 'Hanging Mirror Sect'.
Xia Dong put the token back on his waist, drew his sword and stabbed at Zhuo Dingfeng.
Zhuo Dingfeng could only passively block the attack.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingrui immediately wanted to help, but Zhuo Dingfeng stopped him.
Jing Rui, stay where you are."
Although he had the upper hand and had the speed increasing technique taught by Xiao Jingbai, Zhuo Dingfeng, who was ranked fifth on the Lang Ya Board, was not someone Xia Dong could shake.
Zhuo Dingfeng unsheathed his sword and attacked Xia Dong with the Heavenly Spring Sword Technique.
However, Xia Dong didn't fight Zhuo Dingfeng head-on. Instead, he kept attacking from the back, trying to force Zhuo Dingfeng's " Flying Bird into the Forest ".
Zhuo Dingfeng seemed to have expected this. Squatting, he spun continuously to break Xia Dong's stab.
"Sorry to disturb you! Villa Head Zhuo."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the other party to respond.
" This has always been the way the Xuanjing Bureau does things.
" Father, why did Sister Dong suddenly attack you?"
Zhuo replied,"Maybe it's some sword art case. Your imperial grandmother's birthday is in a few days. You can change it back this afternoon."
" Don't worry, Father. I've already packed up. I heard that His Highness the White Prince will be coming back as well. When the time comes, I'll have to properly ask him about his swordsmanship."
When he kicked Xiao Jingbai, Zhuo Dingfeng's eyes also emitted a faint light.
Although they were on different sides, Zhuo Dingfeng was also a sword lover, so he really wanted to meet this proud son of heaven.
Alright, I'll go back with you this time. I also want to see Prince Bai's elegance."
(Let me explain to everyone why sometimes there are princes and sometimes there are princes.) As for the prince, it was usually used by outsiders to address Emperor Liang's son respectfully. King Bai, King Yu, King Qi, and so on were all ranks, and the general point was identity. A prince was the son of the emperor, and a prince was the son of a prince or a person who inherited the throne (King Ji, Mu Shen, etc.), so they were called princes. I'll still control these details. However, I'm afraid that some readers won't understand it, so I'll explain it here. Please give me tickets, please give me flowers.)
