　　In the treasure vault of the Wujiu Kingdom’s royal family.
　　“This is the thing.”
　　Xiang Nantian walked out from among the pile of gold and silver with a box in his hand.
　　“If it weren’t for sensing the aura on Taiping just now, I probably wouldn’t have remembered that there is such a thing in this treasure house.”
　　As he spoke, he stuffed the box into Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　“That’s right, this is the other half of the teleportation order.”
　　Xu Taiping opened it and saw that it was exactly half of the teleportation order. He couldn’t help but say with a look of surprise.
　　“With this half of the teleportation order, Taiping, you have really made this trip worthwhile.”
　　The voice of Fairy Lingyue also sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind at this time.
　　Before, it seemed that because she was a little afraid of the two people in front of her, she hadn’t spoken a word.
　　“Senior Xiang, Senior Haitang, do you two really want to give this thing to me？”
　　Xu Taiping confirmed to the two people.
　　The two people looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.
　　“This thing is far from enough to repay the kindness that Taiping you have shown us by releasing our seals this time.”
　　Haitang shook her head with some shame.
　　“How　about　this.”
　　Xiang Nantian thought seriously for a while and then slapped his head and said：
　　“My wife and I have always come and gone alone, but this time we will make an exception for Taiping you. One day, when Taiping you encounter an unsolvable trouble, my wife and I can be your guardians for once.”
　　After saying this, he forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip with internal force and then drew a rune in the air with the blood.
　　“This proposal is good.”
　　That Begonia also nodded at this time and similarly drew a rune in the air with blood.
　　Xu Taiping was still a bit unfamiliar with the words ‘protector’, and for a while, he didn’t know how to respond.
　　’Taiping, the so-called protector, once forming a seal with you, will be an existence that will protect you with their lives. The cultivation of these two people in front of you is extremely high. To have them be your protectors, even if only once, is also a great opportunity.’
　　Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.
　　To be able to be evaluated like this by Fairy Lingyue is enough to show the high cultivation of these two people.
　　Xu Taiping thought about it seriously, and then without being overly modest, he said to the two people and thanked them：
　　’If I really encounter difficulties in the future, please ask Senior Begonia and Senior Xiang to help me.’
　　Then he stretched out his palm and received those two rune seals one by one.
　　’Straightforward！’
　　Seeing this, Xiang Nantian laughed heartily again.
　　’My husband and I least like to owe people favors. It’s best if you can accept it.’
　　Begonia also had a smile on her face at this time.
　　’By the way, during the period when I faked my death, if you go back to report the task, you will definitely be made things difficult for and said that I am dead and you failed to fulfill the agreement.’
　　The thoughtful Begonia suddenly thought of a problem.
　　She had all the memories of the Sixth Princess, and of course, she also remembered that Xu Taiping was entrusted by the sect to escort her this time.
　　’Then just consider this experience a failure. It doesn’t matter.’
　　Xu Taiping was rather open-minded.
　　“How can that be？”
　　Xiang Nantian shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.
　　“Haitang, how about I go to the Qingxuan Sect with Little Taiping？ I’ll explain it to his sect leader in person.”
He asked for instructions. ed the Haitang beside him.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but shiver.
　　“I’m afraid that before you even enter the mountain, his sect leader will come out and kill you. Don’t you know what kind of reputation my husband and I have？”
　　Haitang glared at Xiang Nantian again.
　　The Haitang who was gentle and easy-going in front of Xu Taiping was very much like a tigress in front of Xiang Nantian.
　　“Hehe, Atang, I was just saying.”
　　Xiang Nantian smiled and scratched his head, looking at Haitang with full of doting in his eyes.
　　“There’s really no need to go to such trouble. This is just a training mission for me. If I don’t complete it, there will be a next time.”
　　Xu Taiping spoke up again at this time.
　　“No way！”
　　“No way！”
　　But as soon as his words came out, they were vetoed in unison by the couple.
　　Xu Taiping could see that this couple were both the kind of people who would definitely take revenge for grudges and repay kindness until death.
　　“Taiping, do you have any talisman paper on you？”
　　Haitang suddenly asked Xu Taiping.
　　“There are only drawn talismans. There really isn’t any talisman paper.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head.
　　“Then give me a talisman randomly.”
　　Haitang stretched out her hand to Xu Taiping.
　　“Okay.”
　　Although not knowing what Haitang was going to do, Xu Taiping still took out a Burning Lamp Talisman and handed it to Haitang.
After Haitang took this talisman, she combined her index finger and middle finger to form a sword finger shape. and then wiped upwards along the talisman, directly erasing the drawn runes on the talisman.
　　“I didn’t expect that there would still be someone in this world who would use this kind of technique.”
The Fairy Lingyue who saw this scene also praised ed.
　　“Is it very difficult？”
　　Xu Taiping asked the Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
　　“It’s not difficult actually, but unless one is particularly proficient in the way of talismans, it’s very difficult to erase the talisman drawn by others so easily.”
　　The Fairy Lingyue replied.
　　“Come, let’s bring a message to the Qingxuan Sect together.”
　　After easily drawing a talisman with her own blood, Haitang looked up at Xiang Nantian.
　　……
　　A　moment　later.
　　“Taiping, you take this well.”
　　After a fierce battle, the couple Xiang Nantian handed the talisman with their conversation in it solemnly to Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　“Tha…thank you.”
　　Xu Taiping took the talisman and wiped the sweat on his forehead inadvertently.
　　If possible, he didn’t really want the people of Qingxuan Sect to hear the words of the couple in this talisman.
“Also, perhaps Taiping you don’t quite understand. Most of the cultivators in the Nine Mansions regard my husband and I as outsiders and enemies. So for your own good, after returning to Qingxuan Sect, try not to mention us two, and even more so, don’t mention the matter of helping us break the Dao Seal. Just say that I am grateful for your kindness in escorting us, and that’s why I sent this talisman after waking up.”
　　Haitang reminded Xu Taiping again at this time.
　　“Thank you, Sister Haitang. I have a sense of proportion in these matters.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
However, in my eyes, Sister Haitang and Brother Xiang are not outliers. It’s just that you are acting according to your own Dao heart.”
　　He then added another sentence.
　　This was not a compliment, but his perception of some of the things he had seen and heard recently.
　　Upon hearing this, Haitang and her husband looked at each other and smiled.
　　“Do you know？ A long time ago, there was a sword cultivator who also said the same thing to our couple.”
　　Xiang Nantian looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　“Could it be… Senior Brother Su Chan？”
　　Xu Taiping asked tentatively.
　　“That’s right.”
　　Haitang nodded with a smile.
　　This was not the first time the couple had mentioned Su Chan, indicating the great weight he held in the hearts of these two.
　　“So it’s not just the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, but also the cultivators of other sects who can’t forget this senior brother.”
　　Xu Taiping muttered to himself in his heart.
　　His curiosity grew even stronger. What kind of person was this Senior Brother Su Chan after all?
　　I’ll go back and ask Senior Brother Qingxiao.
　　While thinking this in his heart, his gaze fell on the gold and silver treasures of Western Zhou, and then he asked the couple Haitang and Xiangnantian with some embarrassment：
　　Sister Haitang, Brother Xiang, can I take some of the gold and silver here？
　　Of course, Xu Taiping wanted these gold and silver treasures to take them back as nutrients for the Earth Fruit.
　　When the couple Xiangnantian heard this, they were first stunned, and then nodded in unison and said：
　　Take whatever you want！
　　……
　　A few days later in the evening.
　　Lion Slope.
　　After Xu Taiping burned the feather left by Elder Yunye to ashes, not long after, a crane’s cry sounded from the horizon.
　　Boom！
　　Soon, in the whistling wind, Elder Yunye’s huge body landed on the top of Lion Slope, and then looked at Xu Taiping with those slightly cold eyes.
　　Come up. It’s not bad to be able to come back safely.
　　Elder Yunye nodded at Xu Taiping, and his tone was much softer than when they first met.
　　And Xu Taiping also understood the implied meaning of Elder Yunye – it doesn’t matter if the task is not completed.
　　Actually, it’s normal to think so.
　　Because the awakening of the couple Haitang was concealed by themselves, and with the means of this couple, it is not easy to conceal something. Not to mention an elder, I’m afraid even a cultivator at the level of the head of the sect would hardly notice it.
　　So now, except for Xu Taiping, no one knows about this matter at all. They only think that the Sixth Princess failed in the assassination and the capital city of the Wujiu Kingdom is under martial law.
　　However, he didn’t argue and just nodded and said：
　　“Thank you, Elder, for coming to pick me up.”
　　He wanted to save the explanation for when he went to the Merit Hall to hand in the task.
