Mortal Bones

"Xu Taiping, there is one thing I have to remind you. The Heart-Inquiring Mirror has confirmed that you have indeed lied. You will be sent to Qilu Hall for interrogation. If the interrogation proves that you are indeed pretending to receive merit, not only you, but also Even your Seventh Peak will be punished, and even your Seventh Peak is not eligible to participate in this year’s Seven Peaks Competition.”

Elder Sun couldn't help but remind Xu Taiping.

"You should think more about it. If you admit it now, you will be the only one who will be punished."

He then added.

When Elder Lu heard this, he glanced at Elder Sun impatiently, as if he was dissatisfied with his meddlesomeness. But having said that, he pretended to be magnanimous and nodded:

"Elder Sun is right, you should think about it carefully."

Upon hearing this, the confusion that Xu Taiping had just felt was cleared up.

It turns out that you are not only targeting me, but also our Seventh Peak.

Not being able to participate in the Seven Peaks Competition will be a big loss for the peaks of Qingxuan Sect, because even if you only get the last place, you can still participate in the re-division of Yunlu Mountain's resources, but if you don't participate, you That share will be divided among the six peaks.

So Qingxuan Sect seems to be a whole, but after you really understand it, you will find that it is actually more like seven different sects.

"Disciple, you can."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked Vice-Tang Lu:

"If the Questioning Heart Mirror proves that the disciple is not lying, what should you do, Elder Lu?"

"What should I do?"

When Elder Lu heard this, he seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Yes, Lu Zimu, if my Qifeng disciple Xu Taiping didn't lie, do you have to show something when you framed him like this?"

Elder Lu was just about to reprimand Xu Taiping when a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Several people looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking into the hall.

Who could these two people be if they weren't Zhao Qian, the master of the Seventh Peak?

Behind Zhao Qian, there was also a tall and handsome young man.

This is naturally Xu Taiping's second senior brother Qing Xiao.

"Peak Master, Senior Brother Qingxiao."

Xu Taiping walked towards the two of them with some surprise.

Zhao Qian just nodded slightly to Xu Taiping, then raised his head and walked straight towards Lu Zimu.

Qing Xiao smiled and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for the hard work."

"fine."

Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.

Qing Xiao smiled again when he heard this, and then whispered:

"For other things, let's go back to the Seventh Peak and talk about it."

Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this.

"Lu Zimu, Elder Sun, how about leaving today's matter? I'll take Xu Taiping back first."

Zhao Qian crossed his arms and looked at Lu Zimu and Elder Sun.

"Why, Peak Master Zhao also thinks that your disciple lied?"

Lu Zimu smiled coldly at Zhao Qian.

"If you have any problems, you can come to me. Don't make such a mess. If you really want to make a big fuss, I, Zhao Qian, will accompany you!"

Zhao Qian glared at Lu Zimu.

He was very angry now. If he hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with this training mission too late, he would have never let Xu Taiping go down the mountain. Not only would he not let Xu Taiping go down, he would also go to Na Jinyue to discuss it.

"Master Zhao, you are so angry."

At this moment, Jin Yue, the leader of the first peak, entered the Hall of Merit with two disciples.

"Today's Peak Master, you came at the right time."

Seeing that the person coming was Jin Yue, Elder Lu was overjoyed and immediately bypassed Zhao Qian to greet him.

In Qingxuan Sect, the peak master of the first peak is equivalent to the deputy master. When the master is absent, he can take over the affairs of the sect with full authority, and his status is much higher than that of ordinary peak masters.

"The mission in the White Tree Kingdom, do you still remember the current peak master?"

Elder Lu asked.

"Of course I remember."

Jin Yue's eyes flickered for a moment, then nodded.

"A few days ago, when we were walking outside the mountains of the Black Eagle Kingdom, news came that the Sixth Princess of the White Tree Kingdom died in the palace for assassinating the Emperor of the Black Eagle Kingdom. I didn't expect this kid to dare to come here with this token to receive the merit. "

Elder Lu looked at Xu Taiping with a bit of disgust.

"Not only did this boy fail to complete his training, but he also dared to blatantly lie to the elders of Merit Hall and pretend to receive merit. I think we should petition Qilu Hall to send him back to the mountain."

Elder Lu added in a very stern tone.

Xu Taiping did not avoid Elder Lu's gaze. He looked at him calmly and said lightly in his heart: "It seems that everyone is here."

With the appearance of Jin Yue, all the confusion in his mind about this experience was suddenly solved.

"Xu Taiping, why did you lie?"

Jin Yue looked at Xu Taiping with a heartbroken expression.

"Reporting to the current peak master, this disciple has never lied."

Xu Taiping still answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Today's Peak Master, please listen clearly, my disciple did not lie."

Zhao Qian took a step forward and blocked Xu Taiping behind him.

Qing Xiao moved his steps slightly and stood side by side with Zhao Qian, protecting Xu Taiping in the middle.

"In that case, let's ask the mirror."

When Jin Yue said this to Elder Lu, he looked at Zhao Qian.

"We didn't lie, why do we need to ask for help?"

Zhao Qian crossed his arms and looked at Na Jinyue without hesitation, then turned around and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said, "Let's go back to Qifeng."

He didn't care whether Xu Taiping lied or not, anyway, he was going to take Xu Taiping away today.

"Zhao Qian, do you really think that Qingxuan's Qilutang is a decoration? If you dare to take him away today, your peak will be expelled from the Seven Peaks Competition."

Jin Yue snorted coldly at this time.

"Expel it if you want."

Zhao Qian turned around and rolled his eyes at Jin Yue with an indifferent look.

After hearing this, Xu Taiping was moved and decided to take a risk to tell the people in front of him about Haitang and Xiang Nantian.

Because he knew that both Senior Brother Qingxiao and Senior Sister Linglong had prepared for the Seven Peaks Competition in a few months. If they were expelled, it would be a pity.

Calculating the time, Sister Haitang and Brother Xiang had almost left Wujiu Country, and it should not have any impact on them now.

While thinking this in his heart, Xu Taiping said to Zhao Qian beside him:

"Peak Master, I did not lie. Her Highness the Sixth Princess is still alive."
