Mortal Bones

Hearing this, Huang Que shook his head helplessly and said:

"If you are an ordinary person, what am I, Huang Que?"

Obviously in his opinion, Xu Taiping's "ordinary person" was just a self-deprecation.

Little did he know that the young man in front of him who was selected by Youyun Mansion was indeed an ordinary person.

Xu Taiping did not explain.

"But what can you do when you go back?"

Huang Que asked puzzledly.

"Brother Huang Que, you also said that even if you are the head of the Qingxuan Sect, you must act according to the rules. If I don't break the rules, he can't kill me."

"If I can help the Seventh Peak win the Seven Peaks under these rules, the head must accept the Seven Peaks disciples' sword-asking."

"If the Seven Peaks disciples can win the sword-asking, the head must abdicate."

Xu Taiping explained his intentions to Huang Que in a clear and orderly manner.

"If what you said can succeed, your Qingxuan Sect can indeed be stable for a long time, but these are the best situations."

Huang Que still frowned.

"But if we don't fight, there won't be any best situation. Second Senior Brother knew this, so even though it was so dangerous, he still went in without hesitation."

Xu Taiping said seriously.

Apart from some unpleasant things, Qingxuan is actually his second home.

Here are Senior Sister Linglong, Second Senior Brother, Buyu, Senior Sister Ziyan, and Sansan, who taught him sword for three years.

Now, this family is about to fall apart. Although it is the wisest way to keep oneself safe, it can't get over the barrier in his heart.

The original purpose of his seeking immortality was just to cure his grandfather's illness.

Because as long as his grandfather is there, even if there is only that leaky thatched house, he is considered a person with a family.

Now that he has embarked on the path of cultivation and has a possibility of supporting this second home, how can he give up like this?

Everyone says that on the path of cultivation, one must be ruthless and forget righteousness in order to go further, but Xu Taiping is just an ordinary person and doesn't understand these great principles.

He just doesn't want to forget his feelings.

He just didn't want to break his loyalty.

"Have you thought it through?"

Huang Que looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face.

"I have thought it through."

Xu Taiping nodded very seriously.

"Then I will not stop you. I just hope you can survive this Qingxuan turmoil. Otherwise, this will be the biggest loss of Zhenwutian in the past five hundred years."

Huang Que sighed heavily.

"If I don't return to Qingxuan, it will be the most regrettable thing in my life."

Xu Taiping said in his heart.

...

Qingxuan Sect.

Mugu Mountain, Qiyue Pavilion.

After Zhao Linglong wandered at the door of Qiyue Pavilion for a long time, she finally walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard and knocked gently.

No one responded.

She knocked again.

No one responded.

In an instant, Zhao Linglong's expression became a little collapsed.

"Junior brother, please open the door."

"I have so many things to say to you."

"In the past, you and Second Senior Brother were the only ones who never complained about my nagging. You were willing to listen to everything I said patiently."

Zhao Linglong leaned her forehead against the courtyard door and murmured softly.

How she wanted to go back to the old days.

As long as she knocked on the door, the footsteps of Junior Brother would be heard in the courtyard, and he would open the courtyard door for her, take out delicious snacks and fruits, and listen to her nagging patiently.

"Now that the second senior brother is gone, you are gone too..."

"Junior brother, I saw the Moon Shadow Stone."

"They all say you are a lunatic."

"But only the brothers and sisters of our Seven Peaks know how dangerous the situation was for you and your senior brother to be able to drive a junior brother with such a gentle personality into a lunatic."

"I wish I could tear those people's mouths off."

"Even if everyone in the world is crazy, my junior brother will not be crazy!"

When she said this, Zhao Linglong raised her head, wiped the tears from her face, and her eyes became firm again:

"Junior brother, no matter whether you and the second senior brother can come back or not, this time, I will definitely join other senior sisters and brothers to win the top spot of the Seven Peaks and ask the head of the sect for the sword."

"I know we have no chance of winning."

"But I will seek justice for you and my senior brother in front of the world, even if I only stab him with a sword, even if I only ask him a question."

After saying this, Zhao Linglong let out a long sigh, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down.

After three years of seclusion, this was the first time she had said so much.

"Tomorrow is the first match of the Seven Peaks Competition. We cannot afford to lose."

As she thought this, she took a step and prepared to leave Qiyuexuan.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Before Zhao Linglong stepped onto the rainbow bridge, a series of figures suddenly flew through the air with swords and landed on the open space in front of Qiyuexuan.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Sister Linglong?"

A young man recognized Zhao Linglong.

The young man had a long face and a frivolous expression. Judging from the pattern embroidered on his robe, he should be a disciple of the First Peak.

"He Jun? What are you doing in Qiyuexuan?"

Zhao Linglong also recognized the young man at this time.

"Of course I came to see my new dojo."

He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong with a frivolous smile.

"When did this become your dojo?"

Zhao Linglong frowned.

"Senior Sister, haven't you heard about it yet?"

He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong with surprise.

"What did you hear about?"

Zhao Linglong looked at He Jun in confusion.

"According to the sect's regulations, if a certain peak has no peak leader for a long time, the affairs within the peak will be handed over to the leader of the first peak until the next peak leader is elected in seventy years."

"Now that the master of the Seventh Peak is imprisoned, the affairs within the peak will naturally be handled by the First Peak."

"Our peak master has said a few days ago that Qiyuexuan and Youxuanju on the seventh peak have been idle for a long time, so we can choose them as our own dojo."

He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong with a smile.

After hearing what He Jun said, Zhao Linglong only said one word:

"roll!"

"Senior sister, you entered the profession earlier than me. I should respect you, but the premise is that you must abide by the sect's rules."

He Junpi said with a smile.

"You peak masters must take over the Seventh Peak after this Seven Peaks Competition, and my second senior brother and junior brother will definitely come back before then."

Zhao Linglong looked at He Jun coldly.
