Chapter 1750
by Moonlit_Scholar_C “Little Junior Brother, after all, still didn’t make it in time？”
After waiting for a while, looking at the still empty Sword Terrace below, Du Gu Qingxiao on the stand said with a regretful expression.
The Qingxuan Sect disciples in the same stand also had a regretful expression on their faces.
Ever since that Golden Scale Meeting, at least half of the disciples who came to Qingxuan to seek tutelage came after hearing about Xu Taiping’s deeds.
It can be said that among the disciples of this generation in Qingxuan Sect, Xu Taiping is like what Su Chan used to be.
So when it was heard that Xu Taiping’s name was still on the list of cultivators in this Sword-Questioning Event, almost all the disciples from various peaks of Qingxuan Sect who came to observe this Sword-Exalted Meeting arrived at the viewing platform.
And among this group of disciples, the white-robed girl sitting beside Du Gu Qingxiao looked the most nervous.
When she saw that Xu Taiping still didn’t show up, she suddenly couldn’t help but ask Du Gu Qingxiao beside her：
Master, is Little Martial Uncle really okay？
Although this white-robed girl was extremely beautiful, there was always a thick cowardly look in her eyebrows and eyes.
Upon hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao turned his head and looked aside.
The girl immediately lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her hands, not daring to look Du Gu Qingxiao in the eye.
Seeing this, Du Gu Qingxiao, who usually had an ice-cold face, tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said：
Azhu, don’t worry. As long as your Little Martial Uncle Taiping’s name can appear on the Sword-Exalted List, it means he is not in danger of losing his life.
Although Du Gu Qingxiao and the others didn’t deliberately hide this matter, they also didn’t make a big fuss about informing the disciples in the sect, so not many people knew about it.
Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then her eyes widened and she said：
Master, is what you said true？
But after asking this question, she seemed to feel that her question was a bit stupid, and immediately lowered her head again timidly.
Seeing this, Du Gu Qingxiao said helplessly：
Liang Zhu, raise your head.
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately raised her head in a somewhat panicked manner, and at the same time looked at Du Gu Qingxiao with a confused expression on her face.
Du Gu Qingxiao looked at the girl in front of him, sighed, and said：
Liang Zhu, don’t always lower your head and hunch your back when you talk.
Upon hearing this, the girl’s expression on her face became even more panicked, and she immediately said tremblingly：
M, Master, this disciple knows her mistake…
Du Gu Qingxiao didn’t say anything, just nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and at the same time sighed in his heart and said：
Obviously she was once a princess of a country, and her own qualifications are not bad, but because of a disaster, she was scared out of her wits and became so timid and cowardly.
However, the little girl’s nature hasn’t changed. She still remembers the kindness of her little junior brother until now.
This girl Liang Zhu is precisely the only survivor of the royal family of the mundane Daliang in the massacre incident of the Daliang back then.
Her original name was Liang Yunxiang, and after being accepted as a disciple by Du Gu Qingxiao, she was renamed Liang Zhu.
If it weren’t for Xu Taiping who killed those two arsonists in front of her back then, allowing her to regain her clarity of mind, I’m afraid that to this day, she would still be in that stupid appearance.
”Master.”
”Sect Leader.”
Just at this time, Sect Leader Zhao Qian, suddenly led several sect leaders including Meng Qingqiu, and came down from the upstairs box to the viewing stand.
A crowd of disciples including Du Gu Qingxiao immediately stood up in unison.
Zhao Qian waved his hand and said：
”Sit down all.”
As he spoke, he directly walked to the empty seat beside Du Gu Qingxiao and sat down together with Meng Qingqiu and several other peak masters.
Du Gu Qingxiao immediately asked Zhao Qian in a low voice：
”Master, how is Junior Sister’s injury today？”
Zhao Linglong’s injury has hurt her foundation, so before she recovers, the injury on her body may worsen at any time.
The reason why Zhao Qian arrived only now was actually that he was controlling Zhao Linglong’s injury together with several peak masters.
Zhao Qian nodded and said：
”Today is indeed a little better than yesterday.”
Du Gu Qingxiao nodded, and then asked again：
”What about Junior Brother？”
Zhao Qian didn’t come for a long time. Besides taking care of Zhao Linglong’s injury, he was waiting for Xu Taiping to get the Asking Sword Order in the inn.
Zhao Qian said nothing. He just reached out and took out an Asking Sword Order from his sleeve and then gently placed it on the table.
Seeing this Asking Sword Order, Du Gu Qingxiao’s heart sank.
The Asking Sword Order is still here with the sect leader, which means the little junior brother still didn’t come.
Du Gu Qingxiao smiled bitterly and said：
Sure enough, even if the little junior brother has deep luck, he can’t get the favor of the gods all the time.
Just then, only to hear the mountain-guardian elder Fu Yuan of Tianzhu Peak suddenly call out loudly again：
May I ask, has Xu Taiping of Qingxuan Sect come to the dojo?
As soon as these words came out, the discussion that had once again appeared on the viewing platform in Western Zhou suddenly stopped again.
Although many people had already determined in their hearts that Xu Taiping could not arrive at the Sword Terrace, when this voice sounded, a glimmer of hope still couldn’t help but rise in everyone’s hearts.
All the disciples of Qingxuan Sect stretched their necks even more and looked at the Sword Terrace below without blinking.
Unfortunately.
Xu Taiping still didn’t appear.
After a while, only to hear the mountain-guardian elder Fu Yuan say again：
Since Little Brother Taiping can’t be here today, we have no choice but to remove him from the Sword Champion List.
From the tone of his voice, it could be heard that the Nine Prefectures Mountain-Guarding Elder Fu Yuan was also extremely regretful about Xu Taiping’s inability to be present.
“Rumble…”
As soon as Fu Yuan’s voice fell, it could be seen that the Sword Ranking List in the sky above the Sword Flat suddenly unfurled, and the rankings of the thirty sword-questioning cultivators were thereby displayed on the list.
