Mortal Bones

This evening.

Inside the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall.

Xu Taiping, Lu Rushuang, the seventh princess Chu Tiancheng, the princess Chu Xiaoxiao, monk Chongde and the Lu Yun siblings gathered together.

Originally, after Xu Taiping came back from Jinlin Hall, he wanted to find Princess Chu Xiaoxiao, but he didn't want to summon the jade slip, but suddenly received long-lost news from Monk Chongde, asking him to go directly to Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall.

So this group of people got together.

"So, just because the Confucian scholar Fan Zhixing made a divination, and the divination showed that I might be an obstacle to the third prince's attempt to seize the golden scales of the cauldron, the second princess Chu Yudie spent so much effort to find and capture me?"

Even after listening to the complete story of the young aunt and the others, Xu Taiping still found it a bit unbelievable and felt that it was an unreasonable disaster.

"Fan Zhixing seems to have another purpose, but I'm not too sure."

Junior Aunt Lu Rushuang shook her head.

"Second sister was led astray by this old scholar. She was such a good person in the past, but now she acts cruelly and ruthlessly, as if she has become a different person."

Chu Tiancheng said very disappointed.

"Actually, it's not that your second sister has changed, it's that you, this girl, haven't changed at all. You don't look like a member of the royal family at all."

The junior aunt smiled and patted Chu Tiancheng on the head.

"Yes, Your Highness Tiancheng, you are still the same as when you were a child, you haven't changed at all."

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously at this time.

She has had a lot of contact with the princes and princesses in the palace since she was a child, and she has watched them transform from innocent and innocent to the scheming and scheming people they are today.

So here, Chu Tiancheng, who had never changed, suddenly became an alien.

"But Taiping, since you have entered the Golden Scale Ranking, you will be protected by Emperor Youyun's luck. Even the royal family does not dare to take action against you during this period. You only need to prepare for the first competition in the next two days."

Junior Aunt Lu Rushuang told Xu Taiping.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me, I will do it."

Xu Taiping nodded seriously.

Now that they have found the master aunt, he can concentrate on preparing for the next Golden Scale Meeting.

"By the way, Brother Taiping, do you know who your opponent is in the first round?"

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Xu Taiping.

"I haven't had time to see it yet."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

Although he knew that the list of matches had come out, he didn't have time to take a closer look because he was in a hurry to find his junior sister-in-law and the others.

"It's Qi Hao, the youngest son of the head of the Qi family. Because he was born with a good physique, he was taken up by the owner of Xuanhu Mountain as a closed disciple since he was a child. It is said that he is now capable of competing for the top sixty in the Golden Scale List."

Chu Xiaoxiao explained to Xu Taiping.

Because her brother also wanted to join the Golden Scales Association, she knew all about the disciples who were participating in the Golden Scales Association this time, including those from Youyuntian.

"The Qi family? Is it the Qi family, one of the five great families in Southern Chu?"

Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"That's right!"

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.

"Taiping, have you ever come into contact with the Qi family?"

Junior Aunt Lu Rushuang looked at Xu Taiping curiously.

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly when he heard this, thinking that not only had they had contact, he almost killed his ancestor.

But I can't blame him for that.

If the ancestor hadn't planned to trap him in the Dragon Tower and laid many ambushes to hunt him down, he wouldn't have killed him.

Fortunately, he has never shown his true appearance in front of the Qi family from beginning to end, so the chance of the Qi family recognizing him is not too high.

"Not really, I just heard people talk about it."

Xu Taiping smiled sarcastically.

He finally decided to hide his grudges with the Qi family from everyone for the time being. After all, it also involved the secrets of the Trapped Dragon Tower. Without Sister Lingyue's permission, he could not reveal it to his junior aunt and the others.

"I have also heard about this Qi Hao. His master, the owner of Xuanhu Mountain, is also a master of transformation. You must be careful when dealing with Taiping."

Junior Aunt Lu Rushuang nodded, and then solemnly gave instructions to Xu Taiping.

Although she knew that Xu Taiping was far more powerful than his fellow monks, the disciples who were qualified to join the Golden Scale Society this time were all like this and must not be careless.

And she also knew very well that any victory of Xu Taiping was extremely important to Zhenwutian, and might even directly change Zhenwutian's destiny for the next hundred years.

"Please rest assured, little aunt, Taiping will never let up in the slightest."

Xu Taiping assured Lu Rushuang again.

"Brother Taiping, I will send you a copy of Qi Hao's information tomorrow so that you can respond in advance."

Chu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to ask Ying at this time.

"Thank you very much, Princess Xiaoxiao."

Xu Taiping thanked Chu Xiaoxiao.

"You're welcome, if it weren't for Brother Taiping, our whole family might have died in the disaster in the imperial city seven years ago."

Chu Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested and asked Xu Taiping about the catastrophe that day.

…

About the same time.

In the capital city, inside the Qijia ancestral hall.

"Hao'er, you drew a good lottery this time. Your opponent in the first game was just an unknown person from Zhenwutian."

The head of the Qi family, who was also Qi Hao's father, patted Qi Hao's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of excitement.

"Dad, I have always had only one opponent, and that is the Third Prince Chu Yinan."

After putting incense on several ancestral tablets, Qi Hao, who was very tall, snorted with disdain, and then continued:

"Except for the Third Prince, I am not interested in any other cultivators, and I will never let them survive under my fists for more than a cup of tea."

Hearing this, the head of the Qi family laughed out loud:

"With your words, I feel relieved!"

If he faced other opponents in the next two days, he might still persuade Qi Hao to be more cautious, but he really couldn't find a reason to persuade Qi Hao against the unknown person from Zhenwutian.
