Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping looked over there and realized that the match list had been posted on it.

"Then, please give me some advice from Senior Brother Gongsun."

Xu Taiping bowed his hands to Gongsun Sheng with a calm expression.

He only regarded it as his opponent coming to greet him in advance.

"Advice?"

Gongsun Sheng smiled, then looked at Xu Taiping with a sarcastic face and said:

"Are you worthy?"

Xu Taiping frowned upon hearing this.

He didn't quite understand why Gongsun Sheng in front of him was so hostile to him.

"Do you know Wufeng Lu Chen?"

Gongsun Sheng asked again.

Xu Taiping frowned when he heard the name "Lu Chen".

"I've heard of it, but I don't know it."

he replied.

"To tell you the truth, my former junior brother didn't like you very much, so after the match list came out just now, he specially came to ask me to beat you to a semi-crimp in the match later."

Gongsun Sheng looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.

When Xu Taiping heard that Lu Chen had a bad feeling for him, he immediately thought of sisters Liu Qingmei and Liu Zijin, but thinking about it carefully, it was impossible for Lu Chen to know that the person in the red maple forest was him.

Could it be that just because I contradicted him that morning, he still holds a grudge to this day?

Xu Taiping guessed in his mind.

If this is true, then Lu Chen's small-mindedness is truly unprecedented.

"What do you mean, you want me to automatically withdraw from the competition now?"

Xu Taiping raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Sheng.

"If you are interested, this is the best."

Gongsun Sheng sneered.

After all, he still had his own ideas.

The deliberate provocation just now was false, but the threat was true.

Gongsun Sheng had watched Xu Taiping's two matches at the Dragon Gate Tournament. Although he thought he was not afraid, the opponent's style of play extremely consumed his opponent's true energy, and he did not want to affect the next match because of Xu Taiping. It was a competition, so I thought of threatening the opponent in advance.

Even if the threat fails, it can at least disturb his state of mind.

"See you in the ring."

Xu Taiping answered very simply. After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the edge of the ring.

This surprised Gongsun Sheng.

"Boy, don't toast and be punished..."

"boom!"

Just when Gongsun Sheng was about to step forward and stop Xu Taiping, several loud noises suddenly exploded above his head, followed by several figures falling in front of Xu Taiping one after another.

"Little Taiping!"

Among the figures, a girl in red walked quickly towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Sister Linglong!"

"Peace."

"Long time no see, little Taiping."

At this time, Qing Xiao and Zi Yan also walked up to Xu Taiping.

"Brother Qingxiao, sister Ziyan!"

Xu Taiping greeted the two of them happily.

He originally thought that Linglong and the others had forgotten him, but he didn't expect that they would come to greet him in person today.

"Taiping, don't lose to these trash."

Lin Buyu also walked up to Xu Taiping at this time. While speaking, he turned to look at Gongsun Sheng.

"What do you mean?"

Gongsun Sheng was about to get angry, but Dugu Qingxiao stepped in front of him.

"Gongsun Sheng, you loser, have you fallen to the point where you have to threaten an outer disciple to win?"

Qing Xiao stared at Gongsun Shengdao coldly.

While saying this, his heavy pressure was like a fierce fist hitting Gongsun Sheng's chest hard.

"snort."

Gongsun Sheng snorted coldly, then gave Xu Taiping a vicious look and said:

"See you in the ring!"

After saying this, he turned and left without looking back.

"Senior Brother Qingxiao, you shouldn't anger Gongsun Sheng at this time. It's not good for Taiping."

Zi Yan was a little worried.

Xu Taiping did not expect that Senior Sister Zi Yan and the others would not only come down to greet him in person, but would also be concerned about his competition.

This long-lost feeling of being cared about by others made him feel warm in his heart inexplicably.

"Sister Zi Yan, don't worry." He smiled and shook his head at Zi Yan, and then said, "I will not lose to that Gongsun Sheng."

"The competition will begin immediately, please leave as soon as possible."

At this moment, the supervisor's voice sounded again in the sky above Zhenjianping with the help of the telegraph.

"Xiao Taiping, remember, don't try too hard in the competition later. Even if you can't win on the Seventh Summit, we will find a way to get you to the Seventh Summit this time."

Seeing the proctor coming this way, Zhao Linglong quickly reminded Xu Taiping.

And this sentence was also the main reason why she came down to see Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was startled when he heard this.

In fact, during this period, people from various peaks had expressed their goodwill to him through Xifeng Pavilion more than once, but no matter what conditions they offered, they could not match the promise Zhao Linglong made to him today.

"no."

What surprised Zhao Linglong and the others was that Xu Taiping suddenly smiled and shook his head at them.

"no?"

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao were stunned.

"I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you, Senior Sister Linglong, win the selection of the Seventh Peak, and become the official disciple of the Seventh Peak."

Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Linglong solemnly.

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong and others stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"You guys, leave quickly, the competition is about to start here!"

At this time, an examiner came behind them and scolded them harshly.

"I'll wait for you, junior brother."

Qingxiao smiled and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder, then pulled Zhao Linglong up and flew away with the sword.

"Back then, I just said casually that he should practice well and wait for the Seven Peaks selection in three years. I didn't expect that he would really remember it until now."

On the flying sword, Zhao Linglong looked back at the young man behind him and murmured to himself with emotion.

"With this determination, even if he can't become a cultivator, he will definitely make a difference in the future."

Zi Yan also commented on Xu Taiping with a serious face at this time.

Before, she didn't think much of Xu Taiping. After all, he was just a nobody. She paid more attention to him because of Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong, but at this moment, Xu Taiping's firm eyes just now made her understand why Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong still missed this young man after three years.

…

“First match, Xu Taiping vs. Gongsun Sheng!”

After a while, Xu Taiping and Gongsun Sheng went up to the ring one after another, and the supervisor on the ring read out their names again with a sound transmission note.

“Don’t think that I won’t dare to kill you just because you have Dugu Qingxiao as your backer. You will regret not withdrawing from the competition in advance.”

Gongsun Sheng on the ring rubbed his fists, stretched his muscles, and looked at Xu Taiping with cold eyes.

He was extremely unhappy that he was humiliated instead of threatening.
