These days, even just the few words he heard from Sister Linglong were enough for him to have an understanding of the intricate forces on this mountain.
So now he very clearly knew that dealing with that Lu Chen was far from as simple as he had initially imagined.
If he was unlucky, perhaps this stick of Xunchen Incense simply wouldn’t be delivered to the Qilv Hall.
If possible, he was willing to help with what he could.
“Xu Taiping, don’t look down on me！”
Liu Zijin tightly hugged the box of Xunchen Incense, and then looked at Xu Taiping with a stubborn expression on her face.
My sister’s hatred, I will avenge it, I will do it alone. If I can’t even do this well what’s the point of my living like this!
After saying these words, she suddenly wiped the tears on her face, and then turned around and left.
Just when she was about to walk out of Xu Taiping’s sight, she suddenly turned her head, deeply bowed to Xu Taiping, and then said：
“Thank you, Taiping Junior Brother, thank you for pulling my sister back when she was most desperate.”
After saying these words, she didn’t hesitate anymore and turned around and left.
Xu Taiping distantly returned the bow.
“Sister Lingyue, perhaps it wasn’t a good idea for me to give this Xunchen Incense to Sister Zijin.”
Xu Taiping looked at the back of Liu Zijin leaving and muttered to himself in his heart.
“Taiping, don’t forget, you are just a newly initiated disciple of Qingxuan Sect now, and that Liu Zijin has already managed to gain a firm foothold in the Five Peaks.”
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping in a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping seemed to have a basin of cold water poured over his head and woke up all of a sudden.
Yes, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Seventh Peak now, and there might be less he could do than that Liu Zijin.
Of course, the slight difference was that he had a pair of senior sisters and brothers who loved and protected him.
While thinking like this, Xu Taiping turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the Myriad Scrolls Tower.
At this time, Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao had already come out of the Myriad Scrolls Tower.
Seeing him looking over, Zhao Linglong grinned and waved vigorously at him again.
“Little junior brother, hurry up, hurry up, I’ll take you to see your new courtyard！”
Zhao Linglong shouted at Xu Taiping at the top of her voice.
This shout washed away the slightest trace of gloom in Xu Taiping’s heart all at once.
“Here I come.”
Xu Taiping nodded with a smile.
……
The Seventh Peak.
In the vast blue sky.
A flying sword and a fairy silk flew across the sky one after the other.
Standing on the flying sword were Xu Taiping and Du Gu Qingxiao, and of course, the one standing alone on the fairy silk was Zhao Linglong.
“I didn’t expect that Lu Chen from the Fifth Peak would actually commit such a heinous act at the foot of the mountain.”
After listening to Xu Taiping’s account, Du Gu Qingxiao frowned and snorted coldly.
But that was all.
It wasn’t that Du Gu Qingxiao was cold-blooded. It was just that he had seen too many such things in the mountains over the years.
“However, even with that Xun Chen Xiang, at most, Lu Chen would just be expelled from the mountain and then return to the mountain through the Seven Peaks Selection a few years later.”
Qingxiao said helplessly.
“For committing such a heinous act, is this the only punishment？”
Xu Taiping was very puzzled.
“That Liu Qingmei is just an outer sect disciple with white spirit bones, while that Lu Chen is an inner sect disciple with profound spiritual roots. How do you think the Seven Laws Hall will measure the importance of the two？”
Du Gu Qingxiao said lightly.
Xu Taiping fell silent.
Yes, in the eyes of the disciples on the mountain, the lives of the disciples at the foot of the mountain were as insignificant as grass.
“However, this matter involves another inner sect disciple, and the outcome is still unknown. Moreover, as far as I know, Liu Zijin’s cultivation talent is very good. Although he has profound spirit bones, he has the very rare profound fire bones among the profound spirit bones. How this matter should be judged really depends on how Liu Zijin handles it.”
Du Gu Qingxiao then added another sentence.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping felt a little relieved.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Zijin’s weight among the disciples on the mountain is far heavier than his, and indeed this matter can only be dealt with by herself.
Even if I wanted to help, I guess wouldn’t be able to help much.
Xu Taiping muttered to himself in his heart.
“Junior Brother Taiping, look quickly, that suspended mountain floating on the side of the peak and connected by an iron lock is the Dojo where you will cultivate in the future！”
At this time, Zhao Linglong, who was stepping on the fairy silk, excitedly pointed to a suspended mountain not far below.
“Let’s go, junior brother. We’ll go and take a look at your residence first.”
Qingxiao turned around and looked at Xu Taiping.
“Thank you, senior brother.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
He stopped thinking about the matter of Liu Qingmei and her sister and began to look at the suspended mountain full of anticipation.
……
“Dusk Drum Mountain, Habitat of the Moon Pavilion.”
On the suspended mountain, Zhao Linglong happily pointed to the plaque of a branch in front of her and said:
“This is the place where you will live and cultivate Next.”
Xu Taiping only felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
He only felt that three years ago, Senior Sister Linglong also introduced Green Bamboo Residence to her like this.
It’s just that this other house is named Qiyuexuan is more than ten times larger than Qingzhu Residence. not to mention that this Mugushan suspended in the air is also under his name.
The difference in treatment between inner disciples and outer disciples can be seen.
Then, under the guidance of Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao, Xu Taiping carefully learned about his future residence.
First of all, this is a three-entry courtyard.
First, when you open the courtyard door, what comes into view is a large courtyard paved with lapis lazuli floor tiles. Just the area of this courtyard is almost the same as his original Qingzhu Residence.
There are also several rooms in the front yard, the porter’s room at the entrance of the courtyard, and the rooms on the left and right sides for storing sundries.
Xu Taiping smelled a strong herbal smell in these rooms. He estimated that the previous owner used them to store dried medicinal materials.
The front yard is relatively empty. Except for a large ginkgo tree with a diameter that requires two people to embrace, there is a grape trellis full of grapes, and there is a set of tables and chairs placed under the trellis.
Passing through the front yard, there is a very large main room. In the middle of the room, the portraits of the Five Patriarchs of Qingxuan are enshrined.
Continuing to walk further back is the central courtyard.
This central courtyard is very exquisitely. In the middle of the courtyard, there is even a small pond with flowing water, and on both sides of the pond are the corridors for enjoying the scenery.
Passing through the corridor, one arrives at the study and bedroom of the courtyard owner.
The study and bedroom here both have huge glazed windows. Sitting by the window, one can have a panoramic view of the scenery in the central courtyard, which is very comfortable.
Going further inside, one comes to the backyard.
This backyard is completely an independent courtyard.
Different from the front yard and the central courtyard, there is not much decoration here. As soon as one enters the courtyard, one can see an empty martial arts field paved with black iron rock, and there are rows of weapon racks placed in the west and north.
And at the end of this backyard, there is a three-story stone building built against the cliff.
