　　“Is it Senior Sister Liu, right？”
　　Xu Taiping looked at the woman outside the door with a calm expression.
　　“It’s me！”
　　Seeing that Xu Taiping still recognized her, Liu Zijin’s face immediately showed a smile.
　　After all, in her opinion, she and Xu Taiping had only met once at Green Bamboo Residence.
　　“Junior brother Taiping, I have one thing that I want to confirm with you.”
　　Liu Zijin said straightforwardly to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping looked deeply at Liu Zijin and then nodded and said：
　　“Senior sister, wait a moment.”
　　He guessed that Liu Zijin should have recognized him as the teenager who fought against the tiger demon in the red maple forest that day.
　　“Senior Brother Qingxiao, Senior Sister Linglong, I have something I want to talk about privately with this Senior Sister Zijin. I will come and report to you later about what it is specifically.”
　　Xu Taiping said to Du Gu Qingxiao and Zhao Linglong.
　　“Go ahead, we’ll wait for you here and then go to the courtyard arranged for you together.”
　　Qingxiao nodded.
He has never interfered in the private affairs of his senior and junior brothers.
　　……
　　In a viewing pavilion outside the Wanjuan Tower.
　　“Junior Brother Taiping, you are the teenager who fell from the sky in the red maple forest that day, right？”
　　Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping with a somewhat uneasy gaze.
　　At first, she didn’t associate Xu Taiping of Qingzhu Residence with the teenager in the red maple forest at all. After all, the difference in their cultivation strength was too great.
　　On the first day of the Seven Peaks Summit, she saw Xu Taiping use the same Green Ox Fist as the teenager in the red maple forest, and then she connected the two people together.
　　“It’s me.”
　　Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
　　Regarding the battle with the tiger demon in the red maple forest, he actually wasn’t afraid of being known by others.
　　After all, in that battle, the reason he was able to defeat the tiger demon was more because the tiger demon was already severely injured at that time, and he caught the demon tiger by surprise. So even if someone asked, he could explain it clearly.
　　Not to mention that the person who recognized him was Liu Zijin in front of him.
　　“Sure enough, I said how could it be such a coincidence that the young person happened to appear in times of crisis.”
　　Liu Zijin was relieved.
　　Then, she asked Xu Taiping seriously again：
　　“Taiping, when you left that day, why did you ask me to be careful of Lu Chen？ Does it have something to do with my sister’s disappearance？”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping was slightly surprised.
He didn’t expect Liu Zijin’s intuition to be so acute.
　　“Yes.”
　　Finally, he nodded again.
　　“I guessed it right.”
　　When Liu Zijin heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she confirmed to Xu Taiping nervously again：
　　“Did my sister tell you to let me be careful of that Lu Chen？”
　　Just relying on this little clue, she was able to guess so much. Xu Taiping couldn’t help but look at the girl in front of him with admiration.
　　“Yes.”
　　He　nodded　again.
　　“It’s really my sister, it’s really my sister！”
　　Liu Zijin was overjoyed.
　　“Then, then my sister, where is my sister？ How is she？”
　　Liu Zijin asked Xu Taiping nervously.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately fell silent.
　　And with his silence, the excitement in Liu Zijin’s eyes on the opposite side instantly turned into unease.
　　Senior Sister Zijin, when I saw Sister Qingmei, she had already become a ghost servant of a changgui.
　　Xu Taiping finally decided to tell Liu Zijin the truth.
　　Upon hearing this, Liu Zijin trembled violently all over.
　　How is it possible? How could Sister become a ghost servant? Sister was clearly about to break through to the Open Door Realm. Xu Taiping, could you, could you have made a mistake? The one you saw was not my sister at all.
Liu Zijin suddenly lost his composure grabbed Xu Taiping’s shoulders and said.
　　But immediately, as if she had thought of something, she said with a look of realization on her face：
　　Could it be, could it be Senior Brother Lu Chen？ Was it done by that Senior Brother Lu Chen？！
　　These days, because of Xu Taiping’s reminder, she had also gradually discovered that Lu Chen seemed to be hiding something from her. Now, upon hearing what Xu Taiping said, she immediately associated the two things.
　　Your sister is right. She has a very smart younger sister.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and said.
　　Seeing that her guess was confirmed, Liu Zijin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
　　It’s me. It’s me who harmed my sister. I shouldn’t have, shouldn’t have let that scum Lu Chen go to see her！
　　Liu Zijin clenched his fist tightly, and big teardrops kept falling from the corners of his eyes.
　　“There is a Xunchenxiang in here. It was entrusted to me by Qingmei to give to you. After lighting it, you can see the crimes of that Lu Chen. You hand it over to the elders of the Qilv Hall first, and then that Lu Chen can be brought to justice.”
　　Xu Taiping took out the box containing the Xunchenxiang from the gourd.
　　Actually, there were originally two more Xunchenxiang, but he was worried that Liu Zijin would lose control of his emotions after seeing it, so he deliberately said that there was only one. In this way, Liu Zijin could only hand it over to the Qilv Hall.
Regarding the Qilv Hall, he only learned about it during the time he was recovering from his injuries. It is a place Specialized for handling the violations of the disciples of the Seven Peaks. It is independent of the Seven Peaks, and the church master is at the same level as the peak masters of the Seven Peaks.
　　According to the words of Qingxiao senior brother, if the Qilv Hall cannot uphold justice, it means that this matter has exceeded the scope that normal disciples can handle.
　　“There is another Xunchenxiang, give it to me.”
　　Liu Zijin shook his head when he heard this and stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Liu Zijin would guess that he still had one in his hand.
　　“There isn’t any more.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head.
　　“You can’t deceive me, because this Xunchenxiang… was given to… was given to my sister by me！”
　　At this time, Liu Zijin suddenly said with a hint of crying in her voice and gritted her teeth.
　　“There are four in total. Sister lit one, and you lit one. Then there should be two left.”
　　Her voice trembled slightly as she continued to reach out her hand to Xu Taiping.
　　“Hoo…”
　　Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
　　He still didn’t want to give it.
　　“Xu Taiping, give me that one too！ I can’t not even know how my sister died…”
Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping with red eyes, and the hand she stretched out was trembling.
　　“Alright.”
　　Finally, Xu Taiping still nodded.
　　He handed the Xunchenxiang he had hidden to Liu Zijin as well.
　　“Senior Sister Zijin, I still want to remind you, don’t look. Sister Qingmei surely doesn’t want you to see either.”
　　Xu Taiping couldn’t help but remind Liu Zijin again.
　　“She is always like this, always keeping everything in her heart and refusing to tell me anything！”
　　Liu Zijin’s emotions became a little out of control.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t know how to comfort the out-of-control Liu Zijin and could only choose to remain silent again.
　　After a long time, seeing that Liu Zijin’s emotions had finally stabilized a little, he handed a handkerchief to Liu Zijin, whose face was already in a mess from crying.
　　“Senior Sister Zijin, if you need help, you can come to the Seventh Peak to find me.”
　　He then said to Liu Zijin.
