Mortal Bones

Three days later.

Still at the main peak Wulaotan.

But this time, Xu Taiping, like the eldest sister and the second brother, stood beside the banners of the seven peaks on the sword platform.

"The rules of this competition are that after the draw, the two sides will send four disciples to hang iron and engrave words. After each round of two disciples, the one whose sword body bears the highest weight and has engraved the seven laws of Qingxuan will win."

"The side with the most winners in the end will win this competition."

As usual, Elder Black Dragon briefly read out the rules of this competition.

"Elder sister, junior brother!"

"Junior brother Taiping!"

At this time, Xu Taiping vaguely heard someone calling his name on the stands of Yunlou.

Turning his head and looking in the direction of the voice, he found that it was the eighth brother and his friends.

In addition to several senior brothers, Xu Taiping also saw Senior Sister Zi Yan and Lin Buyu from the sixth peak.

Senior Sister Zi Yan was even smiling and waving at them.

Xu Taiping then waved to several people politely.

"Are you Xu Taiping?"

Before he put down his hand, a familiar voice came from Xu Taiping's left ear.

He turned around and found that it was a male disciple from the next six peaks.

This male disciple had a round face, was not tall, and looked chubby.

Xu Taiping felt familiar with him, so he thought about it seriously, and finally a name appeared in his mind-"Lin Buyu's seventh senior brother."

When he watched the battle in Yunlou a few days ago, he always saw this round-faced disciple, greeting Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu with unusual enthusiasm.

"You are...Buyu's seventh senior brother?"

Xu Taiping asked without thinking.

"You also called Buyu's name?"

The round-faced man glared at Xu Taiping.

The hostility of the seven disciples of the six peaks towards him made Xu Taiping feel a little puzzled.

"Xu Taiping, are you here to make up the number for the seventh peak?"

Then, the round-faced man asked with a smile and a bit of teasing.

After seeing the man's intention to stir up trouble, Xu Taiping didn't want to pay attention to him and just pretended not to hear him.

"Senior brother is talking to you, and you dare to pretend not to hear?"

The round-faced man suddenly kicked Xu Taiping.

"Zhou Ao? What are you doing?"

Before Xu Taiping could react, Zhao Linglong, who had just turned around to talk to Xu Taiping, saw this scene and immediately questioned the round-faced man with a cold face.

Zhao Linglong's voice was not loud, but because the distance was too close, Jiang Zhi and Qingxiao on the side also heard it.

"What's going on?"

"What's wrong?"

Dugu Qingxiao and senior sister Jiang Zhi turned around and looked at the two.

"This Zhou Ao kicked Taiping for no reason."

Zhao Linglong pointed at Zhou Ao angrily.

"Senior sister Linglong, you misunderstood, I was just saying hello to Junior Brother Taiping."

The round-faced man Zhou Ao smiled and put his hand on Xu Taiping's shoulder.

Xu Taiping shook his shoulder, and with a "bang" he shook Zhou Ao's hand off his shoulder.

The body of a warrior is as hard as iron.

So Xu Taiping's shaking was no different from hitting Zhou Ao with a hammer, and he frowned in pain.

"Brother, when you greet someone, it's best not to touch him. If outsiders see it, they will think that we disciples of Qingxuan Sect don't know etiquette."

Xu Taiping looked at Zhou Ao calmly.

He didn't like to cause trouble, but when the other party bullied him, he was not afraid of it.

"Xu Taiping, you are a new disciple, and you speak to your brother in this tone?"

Zhou Ao glared at Xu Taiping fiercely.

"Zhou Ao, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are more powerful."

Dugu Qingxiao stood next to Xu Taiping with his hands on his chest.

"Taiping is already polite to you. If you dare to greet me like this, I promise that you can't get out of bed for a month."

He glared at Zhou Ao coldly.

Dugu Qingxiao had heard about the seventh junior brother from Liufeng who was always not honest and bullied the weak and afraid of the strong from Senior Sister Zi Yan. He usually didn't bother to deal with him, but now that his junior brother was bullied, how could he just sit back and watch.

"Brother Qingxiao, what's wrong?"

At this time, the eldest sister of Liufeng, a woman who looked a little mature, came over.

Qingxiao didn't say anything, but lowered his head to look at Xu Taiping, seeking his advice.

"Second senior brother, maybe I misunderstood this senior brother Zhou. Maybe they use their feet to greet people in their hometown."

Xu Taiping said to Dugu Qingxiao very seriously.

Hearing this, the eldest sister of Liufeng immediately understood.

"Get out of there."

She glared at Zhou Ao.

Zhou Ao was a little dissatisfied, and glared at Xu Taiping fiercely and said:

"You need someone to protect you for such a small matter. You will be embarrassed in the competition later!"

When he heard this, Dugu Qingxiao's face became even colder.

All the disciples of Qingxuan Sect knew that Dugu Qingxiao of the seventh peak was famous for protecting his children. He might not care about you if you scolded him a few times, but if you scold him and hurt his junior brothers and sisters, then you can wait for his revenge.

"Brother Qingxiao, this kid is just too talkative. He has no ill intentions. Don't bother with them."

The eldest sister of the sixth peak quickly apologized to Dugu Qingxiao.

Qingxiao did not speak, but looked at Xu Taiping again.

"Brother, I'm fine."

Xu Taiping smiled faintly.

Zhou Ao did make him a little unhappy that day, but it wasn't because of him that the Second Senior Brother would have a conflict with Liufeng. After all, they were still competing at the competition stall.

"Please ask the disciples from all the peaks to come up to the stage and draw lots."

At this moment, Elder Black Dragon's voice boomed over Jianping again.

The attention of both parties then fell to the center of Jianping.

…

After a while.

Senior sister Jiang Zhi came back with a lottery ticket.

"The opponent in the first game is the Sixth Peak."

Senior Sister Jiang Zhi smiled faintly at everyone.

Everyone was relieved when they heard this.

Among the Seven Peaks, the strength of the Sixth Peak and the Seventh Peak are about the same, so for them, this is undoubtedly the best lottery.

When Xu Taiping heard this, he glanced at the Six Peaks side, and then found that all the disciples at the Six Peaks were also smiling, obviously feeling that he had drawn a good draw.

"As expected of the last and second to last."

He teased in his heart, somewhat dumbfounded.

"But their lottery number is above ours. When the competition starts, they will be the first to assign their disciples to play."

Senior sister Jiang Zhi suddenly looked at Xu Taiping worriedly.

After hearing this, Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao also looked at Xu Taiping like senior sister Jiang Zhi.

"Sister, is there anything wrong with this?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

"In this case, Taiping, you will not be able to choose the weight of the ballast by yourself. You will either admit defeat or choose a ballast that is heavier than the first disciple from the Sixth Peak."

Qing Xiao explained to Xu Taiping with some worry.
