Mortal Bones

Zhao Qian and Dugu Qingxiao looked at each other, and then Dugu Qingxiao frowned and said:

"These Jiufu have clearly executed Chu Ping'an secretly, but they don't want to admit it and are still searching."

Zhao Qian shook his head helplessly and said:

"If they don't do this, the casual cultivators in Liuxian Town may rebel."

Immediately, the two of them stood up and walked out the door while talking.

"boom!"

As the guest room door was slammed shut, the room suddenly became silent.

But just a moment later, an apple placed on the table suddenly shook, and then rolled down from the fruit bowl to the table with a "dong dong dong" sound.

Then, there was just a "click" sound, and a snow-white little monkey jumped out from the split apple.

Then, the little snow monkey was seen hugging the sword-asking order on the table, then took out a jade tablet from his mouth, and said to the jade tablet:

"Sister, the eight methods of Tiangang you taught me are so useful!"

Not long after, a woman's voice came from the other side of the jade sign——

"Ping An, did you get the sword order?"

Little Snow Monkey immediately held the jade token in both hands and responded in a low voice:

"Sister Lingyue, I got it. I will send it to Brother Taiping now."

…

Liuxian Town, in a very remote inn.

"It's safe. Just get your things. Be careful when you come back."

Fairy Lingyue was communicating with Ping An, who had sneaked into the residence of the head of Qingxuan Sect.

Xu Taiping on the side also let out a long sigh after listening to the conversation between the two.

Although his name is already on the list of people who will be asked by the sword master tomorrow, he will not be able to enter the venue without the sword-asking order.

And he didn't want to alert the leader and them in advance and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, the little monkey was allowed to fetch it safely and quietly.

If you really can't get it, there's nothing you can do.

Fortunately, when Ping An was in the cave in Jinting, he learned the Eight Heavenly Gang Techniques from Fairy Lingyue and knew some basic transformation techniques. In addition, Xu Taiping already had the Qingxuan Sect's pass token on his body, so he successfully sneaked into the head of the sect. room, and found an opportunity to get the sword-asking order.

However, just when Xu Taiping thought that the Wenjian Order could be successfully obtained, Ping An's anxious voice suddenly sounded from the jade tablet——

"Sister Lingyue, the leader and the others seem to have suddenly returned."

"Sister Lingyue, he seems to be here to ask about the sword order!"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue looked at each other, and then made a decisive decision:

"Ping An, put the sword-asking order back in its place, and you hide!"

A somewhat panicked Ping An immediately responded:

"good!"

Fairy Lingyue on the side put down the jade token, and then said with some regret:

"We're just a little short of getting the Sword-Questing Order back."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then said helplessly:

"Now it seems that I can only ask the leader in person tomorrow for it."

Fairy Lingyue suggested at this time:

"Taiping, why don't you go meet the leader Zhao Qian and your second senior brother in person."

In her opinion, even if Xu Taiping reveals his identity in front of the leaders Zhao Qian and Dugu Qingxiao, there won't be any big problem.

Xu Taiping shook his head firmly and said:

"no."

Fairy Lingyue asked very puzzledly:

"Why?"

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and explained:

"Sister Lingyue, I'm afraid that if I see them, I won't be able to take on this sword question as fearlessly as I am now."

Hearing what Xu Tianping said, Fairy Lingyue immediately understood.

She just nodded and said:

"People's moods are indeed unpredictable. You might as well not go see those old friends at this time."

Xu Tianping then added:

"Furthermore, with the eyesight and understanding of the leader and second senior brother, I'm afraid there are some things I can't hide from them. When the Wenjian competition starts tomorrow, if I ask them for the Wenjian Order, even if they want to ask, it will be too late. ”

If the leader Zhao Qian and his second senior brother Dugu Qingxiao knew that the opponent he was about to face tomorrow was not a monk from the Five Directions World, but a demon cultivator carefully selected by Jiuyuan, they would not be able to agree to Xu Taiping's appearance on the stage. Asking for swords.

After Fairy Lingyue thought about it carefully, she also felt that it would be safer to ask for it in tomorrow's competition. She immediately nodded again and said:

"Then let's wait until tomorrow to ask for it."

While the two were talking, the jade slip in Fairy Lingyue's hand that had been silent for a long time finally sounded again -

"Sister Lingyue, the leader took away the sword-asking order, and when he left, he said something strange to Brother Qingxiao beside him."

Fairy Lingyue immediately asked curiously:

"What words?"

"Ahem, cough, cough, that's what the master said." Ping An, who was in the jade slip, imitated the master's tone and said:

"When we parted, your junior uncle told me many times to carry Taiping's Sword Questioning Order with me."

"He, the old man, has believed from beginning to end that Taiping will definitely be able to catch up with this sword quest."

"Well, if Taiping really doesn't catch up this time, I'm afraid his old man will be a little bit surprised."

"After all, he probably can't wait until the next Jiangui meeting."

"well……"

"Peace, peace."

"You know, we are all thinking about you."

Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue sighed softly, and then looked at Xu Taiping aside.

Xu Taiping seemed to be in a daze, quietly looking at the bright moon outside the window.

After a long time, he turned around and looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile and said:

"Sister Lingyue, I like this feeling of being missed by others."

As he spoke, Xu Taiping raised his hand to shake it, then lowered his head and continued with a somewhat lonely expression:

"After my grandfather left, I thought that there would never be another person in my life who would miss me as much as my grandfather did."

After Xu Taiping was silent for a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile on his face again:

"But now it seems that I was wrong."

When Fairy Lingyue heard this, she stretched out her hand with a hint of pity in her eyes, and patted Xu Taiping's head very gently, just like she did when she was a child.

Then she smiled and said:

"Peace, you deserve it."

Xu Taiping nodded heavily and said "Yes".

Then, he took a deep breath, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his eyes became extremely firm and said:

"At that time, I couldn't cure grandpa, but it's different now."

"Unless you break my hands and feet."

"Unless you break the knife in my hand."

"Otherwise no one can take them away from me!"

Listening to the sonorous words of Xu Taiping, Fairy Lingyue, who was standing behind, suddenly had the illusion that what was standing in front of him at this moment was a mountain instead of a person.

…

The next day.

Taiyue Mountain, Tianzhu Peak and Jianping.

"Invite the thirty sword-asking cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Group to come on stage!"

As the voice of Elder Shoushan rang out, the noise in the stands around Jianping immediately fell silent.
