Mortal Bones

"It's Senior Sister Liu, right?"

Xu Taiping looked at the woman outside the door calmly.

"it's me!"

Seeing that Xu Taiping still recognized him, Liu Zijin immediately smiled on his face.

After all, in her opinion, she and Xu Taiping had only met once when they were at Qingzhu Residence.

"Junior Brother Taiping, I have something I want to confirm with you."

Liu Zijin said to Xu Taiping straightforwardly.

Xu Taiping took a deep look at Liu Zijin, then nodded and said:

"Sister, wait a moment."

He guessed that Liu Zijin must have recognized him as the boy who fought with the tiger demon in the red maple forest that day.

"Senior Brother Qingxiao, Senior Sister Linglong, I have something that I want to talk to Senior Sister Zijin in private. What is the specific matter? I will come back and tell you later."

Xu Taiping said to Dugu Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong.

"Go, we will wait for you here, and then we will go to the yard arranged for you."

Qingxiao nodded.

He never interferes in the private affairs of his fellow apprentices.

…

In a viewing pavilion outside Wanjuan Tower.

"Junior brother Taiping, you are the young man who fell from the sky in the red maple forest that day, right?"

Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping with some anxiety.

At first, she did not associate Xu Taiping from Qingzhu Residence with the young man in Red Maple Forest. After all, the gap between their cultivation strength was too big.

It wasn't until the day of the Qi Summit that she saw Xu Taiping use the same Green Ox Fist as the boy from Hong Maple Forest, that the two were connected.

"it's me."

Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

In the battle with the tiger demon in the red maple forest, he was actually not afraid of being known.

After all, he was able to defeat the tiger demon in that battle, mostly because the tiger demon was seriously injured at that time, and he even caught the demon tiger by surprise, so even if someone asked, he could explain it.

So not to mention, the person who recognized him was Liu Zijin in front of him.

"As expected, I asked how it was such a coincidence that the young man happened to appear at the time of crisis."

Liu Zijin was relieved.

Then, she asked Xu Taiping seriously:

"Taiping, before you left that day, why did you tell me to be careful about Lu Chen? Is it related to the disappearance of my sister?"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Liu Zijin's intuition to be so sharp.

"yes."

Finally, he nodded again.

"My guess was indeed correct."

Liu Zijin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he confirmed to Xu Taiping with anxious eyes again:

"Did my sister tell you to be careful about Lu Chen?"

Being able to guess so much based on just these clues, Xu Taiping couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him with admiration.

"yes."

He nodded again.

"Really sister, really sister!"

Liu Zijin was overjoyed.

"So, what about my sister, my sister and her? How is she doing?"

Liu Zijin asked Xu Taiping nervously.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping fell silent.

As for his silence, the excitement in Liu Zijin's eyes across from him immediately turned into uneasiness.

"Senior Sister Zijin, when I saw Sister Qingmei, she had already turned into a ghost servant."

Xu Taiping finally decided to tell Liu Zijin the truth.

Hearing this, Liu Zijin trembled all over.

"How is it possible? How could my sister become a ghost servant? My sister is obviously about to break through the door-opening realm. Xu Taiping, could you, could you have seen it wrong? The one you saw is not my sister at all. "

Liu Zijin suddenly grabbed Xu Taiping's shoulders and said a little lost his temper.

But immediately, she seemed to have thought of something again, and said with a sudden look on her face:

"Could it be that it was Senior Brother Lu Chen? That Senior Brother Lu Chen did it?!"

These days, because of Xu Taiping's reminder, she gradually discovered that Lu Chen seemed to be hiding something from her. Now when Xu Taiping said this, she immediately connected the two things.

"Your sister is right, she has a very smart sister."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Seeing that his suspicion was confirmed, Liu Zijin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"It was me, it was me who harmed my sister, I shouldn't have let that scum Lu Chen see her!"

Liu Zijin clenched his fists tightly, and big tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

"There is a piece of Xunchen incense inside. Sister Qingmei entrusted me to give it to you. After lighting it, you can see Lu Chen's crimes. If you hand it directly to the elders of Qilu Hall, you can make Lu Chen Bring him to justice."

Xu Taiping took out the box containing Xunchen Incense from the gourd.

In fact, there were originally two Xunchenxiang sticks, but he was worried that Liu Zijin would lose control after seeing it, so he deliberately said that there was only one, so Liu Zijin could only give it to Qilu Tang.

Regarding Qilu Hall, he only learned about it during the period of time when he was recovering from his injuries. It was a place that specialized in dealing with the law violations of Qifeng disciples. It was independent of Qifeng. The master of the hall was at the same level as the master of Qifeng.

According to Senior Brother Qingxiao, if Qilu Hall cannot uphold justice, it means that this matter has gone beyond what normal disciples can handle.

"There is also a piece of Xunchen incense, give it to me."

Liu Zijin shook his head when he heard this and stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was a little surprised, but Liu Zijin actually guessed that he still had one in his hand.

"there is none left."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"You can't lie to me, because this Xunchenxiang... I... gave it to... I gave it to my sister!"

At this time, Liu Zijin suddenly said with a hint of crying through gritted teeth.

"There are four in total. Sister lights one and you light one, then there should be two left."

Her voice was trembling as she continued to reach out to Xu Taiping.

"call……"

Xu Taiping let out a long breath.

He still didn't want to give it.

"Xu Taiping, give me that one too! I can't not even know how my sister died..."

Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping with red eyes. The hand she extended was trembling.

"All right."

In the end, Xu Taiping nodded.

He also gave Liu Zijin the Xunchen Incense he had hidden.

"Senior Sister Zijin, I still want to remind you, don't look. Sister Qingmei definitely doesn't want you to see it either."

Xu Taiping couldn't help but remind Liu Zijin.

"She is always like this. She always keeps everything in her heart and refuses to tell me anything!"

Liu Zijin's emotions became a little out of control.

Xu Taiping didn't know how to comfort Liu Zijin who was out of control, so he could only choose silence again.

After a long time, seeing that Liu Zijin's mood had finally stabilized, he handed a handkerchief to Liu Zijin, who was already crying.

"Senior Sister Zijin, if you need help, you can come to me at the Seventh Peak."

He then said to Liu Zijin.
