　　”This should be the mother stone of the Moon Shadow Stone, right？”
　　Just as the Yellow Sparrow was looking at the Moon Shadow Stone handed over by Xu Taichong in complete astonishment, Du Gu Qingxiao, who hadn’t said a word, suddenly stepped forward and asked Xu Taichong in surprise.
　　”That’s right, sir.” Xu Taichong nodded. “There are several child stones of this Moon Shadow Stone mother stone placed in the imperial city of the Great Liang Kingdom. The situation when those arsonists set fire to the city is, without accident, all in this mother stone.”
　　”Brother Taichong, can you give this Moon Shadow Stone to me first？ We have monks who are proficient in the sealing barrier. Maybe we don’t need to find the descendants of the royal family to open it.”
　　The Yellow Sparrow asked Xu Taichong tentatively.
　　”No！”
　　Xu Taichong shook his head very firmly.
　　”Before seeing the descendants of the royal family, I won’t give this stone to anyone. If you want to snatch it by force, I will smash this stone even if I have to risk my life.”
　　As he spoke, he took a step back, holding the Moon Shadow Stone mother stone in his hand and posing as if he was going to smash the Moon Shadow Stone.
　　”Brother Taichong, don’t be impulsive！”
　　The Yellow Sparrow stopped Xu Taichong and then looked at Du Gu Qingxiao beside him and said, “Qingxiao, what do you think？”
　　”Brother Taichong is a rare chivalrous man. Naturally, I trust him.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao seriously looked at the scroll floating in front of Huang Que, and then nodded.
　　“Since Qingxiao you also said so, then Brother Taichong, you come with us, and I will take you to meet the little princess of the royal family of Daliang Kingdom.”
　　Huang Que no longer hesitated at this time.
　　He originally had a good impression of this Xu Taichong, and Du Gu Qingxiao’s words completely dispelled the concerns in his heart.
　　“If only Junior Sister Linglong were here.”
　　When walking out of the camp following Huang Que’s footsteps, Du Gu Qingxiao, who was walking at the end, suddenly said to himself.
　　“Why？”
　　Huang Que looked back at Du Gu Qingxiao in surprise.
　　“Linglong likes chivalrous people the most. If she were to see Brother Taichong’s chivalrous deeds, she would definitely make friends with him.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao looked at Xu Taichong with a smile and joked.
　　When Huang Que heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he laughed heartily and nodded and said：
　　“That’s right, Junior Sister Linglong likes chivalrous people the most. We must introduce her to Brother Taichong later.”
　　When Xu Taichong heard this, he cupped his hands at the two with a smile and said：
　　“Your Excellency is too kind.”
　　Seeing Xu Taichong’s reaction, a hint of coldness flashed in Du Gu Qingxiao’s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal, and he continued to chat with Xu Taichong as usual.
　　And just as he was chatting casually with Xu Taichong, Huang Que suddenly transmitted a voice to him： “Qingxiao, why did you deliberately mention Linglong just now？”
　　While continuing to walk forward nonchalantly with the footsteps of Huang Que and others, Du Gu Qingxiao transmitted a voice in his heart and said：
　　“If I remember correctly, because of Taiping’s relationship, Linglong once rescued a young man named Xu Taiping when passing by Qingniu Village.”
　　“But this Xu Taichong in front of us clearly doesn’t recognize Linglong, so this person’s identity must be fake.”
　　Hearing this, Huang Que’s heart was shocked, and his face almost lost control.
　　“This person disguises himself as Xu Taichong’s identity and insists on going to see the surviving members of the royal family. Could it be that he wants to take the opportunity to harm the little princess？”
　　A layer of fine cold sweat broke out on Huang Que’s back.
　　“Most likely.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao was very certain in his heart and said：
　　“And being so eager to get rid of the little princess, this person might be one of the three people from Wangyou Valley that we are looking for.”
　　“Then we can’t go any further！” Huang Que was a little anxious.
　　“Huangque, don’t startle the snake. Currently, we don’t have any evidence of these three people setting the fire. Even if the person pretending to be Xu Taichong is one of the three, there’s nothing we can do to him.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao reminded Huangque to stay calm.
　　“Then what should we do？”
　　Huangque asked in confusion.
　　“Take him to see the little princess. As long as he makes a move on the little princess, even if we don’t have any evidence in our hands, we can still arrest him as a suspect.”
　　“Even if it’s Wangyou Valley, they won’t be able to directly ask us for the person.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao told Huangque his plan.
　　This time, they not only had to catch the thirteen people who set the fire, but also execute them publicly in front of the cultivators of the Five Regions. Otherwise, simply executing these thirteen people would be meaningless.
　　“Although it’s a bit risky, but… but it’s worth a try！”
　　Although Huangque felt it was very risky, when he thought that they still had no clue about the three people from Wangyou Valley until now, he finally made up his mind.
　　“Senior　Brother　Qingxiao！”
　　As they were speaking, the three of them arrived at the settlement camp where the little princess of the Great Liang Kingdom was located. Several disciples of Qingxuan Sect who were guarding here immediately came up to welcome them.
　　“How is the little princess？”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao looked at the door of the tent.
　　“Still not eating or drinking, crazy, and won’t let anyone get close.”
　　A disciple of Qingxuan Sect who was guarding here sighed and said.
　　Du Gu Qingxiao furrowed his brows and then turned to look at Xu Taichong aside and said：
　　“Brother, you can’t get too close after going in.”
　　Huang Que aside nodded upon hearing this and said：
　　“The little princess has suffered from shock and damage to her mind and must not get too close.”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taichong nodded solemnly and said：
　　“Don’t worry, both of you. As long as I see the little princess with my own eyes, I will hand over this Moon Shadow Stone to you. This is my promise to the imperial family of the Great Liang.”
　　With this righteous and solemn appearance, it was simply impossible to tell that he was not Xu Taichong himself.
　　“Then please come in.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao pushed open the door of the tent and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Taichong, indicating that he should enter the tent.
　　“Thank you！”
　　Xu Taichong clasped his fists heavily towards Du Gu Qingxiao and Huang Que, and then strode into the tent.
　　……
　　Inside　the　tent.
“Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty…”
　　After entering the tent, the three of them immediately heard a very childish voice.
　　Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a little girl with tousled hair and dirty clothes, counting the stones on the ground with her back to them.
　　This dirty little girl was naturally the little princess of the Great Liang.
　　“You two, I need to get closer so that the Moon Shadow Stone in my hand can sense the little girl’ssmell and confirm whether she is the little princess of the Great Liang.”
　　Xu Taichong turned his head and looked at Huang Que and Du Gu Qingxiao.
　　Huang Que and Du Gu Qing Xiao looked at each other, and then nodded to Xu Tai Chong and said, “Alright.”
　　Immediately, without saying a word, Xu Tai Chong held the Moon Shadow Stone and walked towards the little girl at the other end of the tent.
　　Behind him, Huang Que and Du Gu Qing Xiao closely followed Xu Tai Chong’s footsteps, while secretly mobilizing their true yuan, ready to take action at any time.
　　”Pa da！”
　　But when there was less than ten zhang of distance between Xu Tai Chong and the little princess, he suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and looked back at Huang Que and Du Gu Qing Xiao.
　　”Hei…”
　　In the confused eyes of Huang Que and Du Gu Qing Xiao, Xu Tai Chong suddenly grinned and said, “Do you really want to see me kill this little princess？”
　　Upon hearing these words, Huang Que and Du Gu Qing Xiao’s hearts trembled simultaneously.
　　Revealed？
　　Impossible.
　　In the eyes of the two, although they had been continuously transmitting voices along the way, they had not revealed any flaws and should not have been discovered by the cultivator of Wang You Valley who was pretending to be Xu Tai Chong.
Although you two are hidden very well, unfortunately, my senior brother is proficient in divination and deduction techniques.
　　While speaking, Xu Tai Chong picked up a jade slip in his hand and shook it.
I saw that on the jade slip were written two blood-red words – “Today is extremely unlucky not suitable to take action.”
　　At the same time, this Xu Taichong took out a talisman again, threw it into the air, and then looked at Huang Que and Du Gu Qingxiao with a provocative expression and said：
　　“It is true that I am a disciple of Wangyou Valley, and it is also true that I did that thing as you two have in mind. But without evidence, what can you do to me？”
　　As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Huang Que and Du Gu Qingxiao both turned cold.
　　And just when the two of them were at a loss, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps outside the tent. Then they heard the disciples of Qingxuan Sect outside the tent report to the two people in the tent：
　　“Lord Huang Que, Senior Brother Qingxiao, Senior Brother Taiping is asking to see you！”
