Mortal Bones

"really?"

The girl's face was filled with surprise.

Xu Taiping paused for a moment, then looked at the girl with regret and said:

"But the woman I met was at least forty years old."

Upon hearing this, the girl's expression of joy suddenly turned into disappointment, while a look of relief flashed across Lu Chen's face.

The changes in the expressions on the two people's faces were all seen by Xu Taiping.

"You kid, how dare you tease my junior sister, look at me..."

"Brother!"

Lu Chen wanted to reprimand Xu Taiping again, but the girl stopped him again.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me. Here are thirty merit coins. You should keep them and consider them as the cost of repairing the door."

The girl felt a little disappointed and took out a money bag and threw it to Xu Taiping.

"Boy, thirty merit coins are more than enough to repair your broken door. How about you just have some fun?"

Lu Chen then glared at Xu Taiping fiercely.

"Come on, senior brother, don't make things difficult for this little fellow Taoist anymore."

The girl tried to persuade Lu Chen with a somewhat disappointed expression.

"Since you have spoken, Junior Sister, I will let this guy go. Don't be sad, Junior Sister. He can't be found here. Let's go to Qingfeng Gorge to have a look."

Lu Chen said to the girl with a smile on his face after hearing this.

"Well, that's all."

The girl nodded, turned around and left.

"etc."

Xu Taiping suddenly stopped the girl.

"What's the matter, little fellow Taoist?"

The girl turned her head and looked at Xu Taiping with some confusion.

"Sister, what's your name?"

Xu Taiping asked.

"Are you worthy of knowing my junior sister's name?"

Lu Chen, a disciple of Wufeng, had a fierce look in his eyes.

"Next time if I meet the woman you mentioned, sister, I can tell her that you have come to see her."

Xu Taiping answered very seriously.

"Little Taoist friend, my surname is Liu and my name is Zijin. If you really meet my sister, please tell her that Zijin has been looking for her. No matter what trouble she encounters, Zijin is there. She doesn't need to Fear."

The girl looked happy when she heard this, and then she quickly asked Xu Taiping.

"Okay." Xu Taiping nodded, "If you meet her, I will tell you word for word."

"Thank you!"

Liu Zijin clasped his hands and saluted Xu Taiping very solemnly.

"Let's go, junior sister. Senior brother and several senior brothers from the Sixth Peak are still waiting for us near Qingfeng Gorge. If we go late, I'm afraid we will be scolded by senior brother."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes at Xu Taiping, and then urged Liu Zijin.

"Well, let's go, senior brother."

Liu Zijin nodded and left Qingzhu Residence with Lu Chen.

"call……"

As soon as the two of them left, Xu Taiping let out a long breath. Although he seemed calm and calm, he was actually a little nervous inside just now.

After testing Lu Chen's reaction, he was certain that if he showed any signs of knowing Liu Qingmei or wanting to tell Liu Zijin something, Lu Chen would take action against him.

Although he didn't know Lu Chen's specific cultivation level, after breaking through to the sea realm, he could clearly feel Lu Chen's powerful zhenqi fluctuations.

"If I fight him head-on, what is my chance of winning? Forty percent? No, maybe less than two percent."

Xu Taiping thought secretly in his heart.

The sense of oppression that Lu Chen brought to him was many times higher than that of the demon. If they really had to fight, he probably wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

So under this situation, it is obviously unwise to hand over Liu Qingmei's Xunchen Xiang to Liu Zijin.

However, by observing the reactions of Lu Chen and Liu Zijin, Xu Taiping finally confirmed one thing from the side - "What Sister Qingmei said that day was true, and the scene in Xunchenxiang was also true. She was indeed attracted by this Victimized by Lu Chen.”

Xu Taiping walked to the courtyard door.

"We have to find a way to hand Xunchen Xiang into the hands of Sister Zijin without Lu Chen being present, so that he can see Lu Chen's true face. However, the relationship between the two people does not seem to be the same. They are not very close, which at least shows that Sister Zijin was not bewitched by Lu Chen’s sweet words..."

Looking at the direction Liu Zijin and Lu Chen were leaving, Xu Taiping murmured to himself.

"The two of them just said they were going to Qingfeng Gorge. Are they also investigating the tiger demon?"

Xu Taiping suddenly recalled the conversation between Lu Chen and Liu Zijin, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

The most vicious monster in this area was the tiger monster. It was logical for Liu Zijin to blame the tiger monster for her sister's disappearance.

"If I arrive at Qingfeng Gorge in advance, I might have a chance to come into contact with Sister Zijin, but in this case, I have to risk encountering the tiger demon."

He began to weigh the risks of going to Qingfeng Gorge in his mind.

Xu Taiping indeed promised Liu Qingmei to hand over the Liuchenxiang to Liu Zijin, but the premise of all this was that his own life could be guaranteed.

"boom……"

At this moment, a huge bald eagle suddenly fell down at the entrance of Qingzhuju's small courtyard.

"Qingzhuju Xu Taiping, this is what you bought, a total of twenty merit coins, and you have to pay me another one."

As soon as the bald eagle raised its head, a package held in its mouth was thrown up high and landed in front of Xu Taiping accurately.

Compared to Bai Hong, this bald eagle's voice is obviously much younger, and he shouldn't be very old.

"Good work."

Xu Taiping reached out to catch the package, then took out the money bag he had prepared earlier from his arms and threw it towards the bald eagle.

In this package were hundreds of arrows he purchased, as well as a set of leather armor for walking in the mountains, as well as some trivial necessities for daily life.

Basically, he purchases these items every three months.

Just when Xu Taiping was about to return to the house, he suddenly discovered that the young bald eagle did not leave immediately after taking the merit coin, but stood there and looked at him.

"Brother Diao, what else can you do?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"I heard from Daddy that the yellow lamb legs you roasted are delicious. Have you roasted them today?"

The bald eagle asked Xu Taiping directly.

"Dad? Brother Diao, is your father Uncle Bai Hong?"

Xu Taiping took a closer look and suddenly discovered that this young bald eagle was somewhat similar to Uncle Bai.

"Yes, Bai Hong is my father. My name is Bai Yu. A few days ago, I always heard my father mention you. If I didn't know, I thought you were his son."

Bai Yu replied with a hint of jealousy.

Xu Taiping smiled sarcastically when he heard this.

"Brother Bai Yu, I haven't been able to hunt yellow sheep during this period. I will invite you to the banquet when I hunt in a few days."

He extended an invitation to Bai Yu.

"Why change the day? It's just a yellow sheep. I have nothing to do today, so I will hunt it for you. Just wait here!"

Bai Yu said proudly.

"Okay, Brother Bai Yu, wait!"

Xu Taiping was about to nod and agree, and he was still willing to cook a meal for Uncle Bai's children, but as soon as he said the words, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered something.

"Why, have you regretted it?"

Bai Yu's tone was a little unhappy.

"No, no, no."

Xu Taiping waved his hands repeatedly, and then explained to Bai Yu:

"Brother Bai Yu, you don't know something. If you want to make the most delicious roasted yellow lamb leg, how to select the best yellow lamb leg is more important than the roasting skills, so I would like to ask Brother Bai Yu to take me with you and let me Come and choose for yourself.”
