Mortal Bones

But immediately, the appearance of Dongfang Yuejian and Taoist Su flashed in his lotus pupils.

"Wait, do you want me to ask them for the gate-sealing stone?"

In a hurry, Xu Taiping asked the lotus pupils in his heart.

After asking this, the burning sensation in the lotus pupils suddenly decreased.

"You are really daring to think about it. Let's not talk about whether they have it or not. Even if they do, if you ask for their gate-sealing stone, you have to help them break the calamity. Can you do it?"

Xu Taiping asked again in his heart.

He has always known that the lotus pupils are conscious, so he was not too surprised that it responded to this matter.

After he asked this question, the lotus pupils burned again, as if they were dissatisfied with his question, as if to say - are you doubting me?

After realizing that the lotus pupil really wanted to make this deal, Xu Taiping finally confirmed it in his heart:

"I've told you, this is the deal you took the initiative to propose. If you can't help them, I won't give you the door-sealing stone even if they give it to me."

As soon as he asked this question in his heart, the lotus pupil in his left eye felt a sharp pain again, as if it thought he was talking too much nonsense.

"Miss Dongfang, Taoist Su, wait a minute."

After understanding what the lotus pupil meant, Xu Taiping no longer hesitated, and immediately stopped the two of them while forcing himself to endure the burning sensation in the lotus pupil.

"Mr. Xu?"

Dongfang Yuejian looked at Xu Taiping with a puzzled look.

"I have a way to break the seven killing calamities on you, but I need something."

Xu Taiping looked at Dongfang Yuejian with a serious face.

"What is it?"

Before Dongfang Yuejian could speak, Taoist Su asked first.

"A door-sealing stone."

Xu Taiping replied.

"Door-sealing stone?"

Dongfang Yuejian seemed to have never heard of this kind of thing, and looked confused.

But when Elder Su beside her heard the name, he first showed a look of shock on his face, then frowned and looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Mr. Xu, the Sealing Stone is not an ordinary thing. I am afraid that there are not many pieces in the entire Shangqing Realm."

Xu Taiping smiled helplessly.

He was of course aware of this. He was now pointing to the piece that grew out of the fruit to make up for the piece eaten by Lian Tong.

"Master Su, I know how precious the Sealing Stone is, but the only way I can break the Seven Killing Curse is to use the Sealing Stone."

Xu Taiping explained to Master Su in a very sincere tone.

"Mr. Xu, if I can get the Sealing Stone, how sure are you that I can break the Seven Killing Curse on Yue Jian?"

Elder Su thought for a while and asked Xu Taiping.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately realized that the Dongfang family might really have the Sealing Stone.

He thought that Lian Tong was really amazing, and he even knew this.

So he thought about it carefully before answering:

"It should be 40%... uh..."

Xu Taiping was just about to say 40% to 50% conservatively, but before he could finish his words, his left eye started to hurt again, and a cross floated in front of his eyes.

He knew that this must be Lian Tong's trick again, so he pretended to be in deep thought, and at the same time asked Lian Tong in his heart:

"40% is not good, how many do you want? 80%? 90%? Or... 100%?"

When he said "100%, his eyes stopped hurting.

Xu Taiping felt a little headache, but when he felt the burning sensation in his left eye again, he immediately raised his head and looked at Taoist Su and Dongfang Yuejian with a little helplessness:

"As long as you give me the door-sealing stone, I will be 100% sure that I can help Miss Dongfang survive the disaster."

"100% sure?"

Dongfang Yuejian was stunned on the spot.

Taoist Su on the side snorted coldly and said:

"Mr. Xu, if you don't want to help, don't tease us like this. Goodbye."

After saying that, she bowed to Xu Taiping, then pulled Dongfang Yuejian, who was hesitant to speak, and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping was very gloating. While taking out the gold coins and stuffing them into his left eye, he teased in his heart:

"You were the one who said 100%. Now this business is ruined, you can't blame me."

Just as he said this, the gold coins in his sleeves flew out uncontrollably and all flew into his left eye.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not happy after I said a few words to you, right?"

Xu Taiping quickly tied his sleeves tightly.

I don't know why, after chatting with others casually for a few words, Xu Taiping only felt that the heaviness and despair in his heart were relieved a lot.

"Get ready, let's start the battle tonight."

He stretched, then walked out of the study and prepared to go back to his room.

…

"Jian'er, how come this person is completely different from what you said? Not only is he selfish, but he also likes to brag."

On the way to the front yard of Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall, the Taoist Su, who was disguised as Dongfang Yuejian's mother, said to Dongfang Yuejian beside her with displeasure.

Dongfang Yuejian didn't know how to answer.

In fact, she could understand Xu Taiping's refusal, but she really didn't understand why he dared to say that he was 100% sure to help her overcome the tribulation in order to get the Sealing Stone.

"Taoist Su, Miss Dongfang, have you finished talking to Taiping?"

When they walked to the lobby, they met the little nun Lu Rushuang who had been waiting in the hall.

"We have finished talking. Thank you, Master Lu, for introducing me."

Taoist Su politely bowed to Lu Rushuang, but his eyes still couldn't hide his displeasure and disappointment.

"Thank you, Master Lu."

Dongfang Yuejian also thanked Lu Rushuang at this time.

Unlike Taoist Su, Dongfang Yuejian's eyes were still full of gratitude.

As a man who had lived for nearly a thousand years, how could Lu Rushuang not see the displeasure and disappointment in Taoist Su's eyes? She knew that Xu Taiping would definitely not agree to what they asked for.

However, she did not point it out, but smiled apologetically:

"Taiping has been preparing for the next competition these two days. For some things, it may not be that he does not want to help, but that he cannot spare the time. Please forgive me."
