　　Xu Taiping, there’s one thing I have to remind you. If the Heart-Questioning Mirror confirms that you indeed lied, you will be sent to the Seven Rhymes Hall for interrogation. If it is found out through interrogation that you are indeed fraudulently claiming merits, not only you, but also your Seventh Peak will be punished. Even in this year’s Seven Peaks Competition, your Seventh Peak will not be eligible to participate.
　　The Elder Sun couldn’t help but remind Xu Taiping at this time.
　　You should think more about it. If you admit it now, only you will be punished.
　　He then added another sentence.
　　Upon hearing this, the Elder Lu looked at the Elder Sun with some impatience, as if he thought he was meddling in other people’s business. But since it had been said, he then pretended to be magnanimous and nodded, saying：
　　What Elder Sun said is right. You have to consider it clearly.
　　Upon hearing this, the little confusion that Xu Taiping had just had in his heart was also resolved at this time.
　　So it turns out that you are not only targeting me, but also our Seventh Peak.
　　Not being able to participate in the Seven Peaks Competition would be a great loss for all the peaks of the Qingxuan Sect. Because even if you only get the last place, you can still participate in the reallocation of the resources of Yunlu Mountain. But if you don’t participate, your share will be divided up by the six peaks together.
　　So although the Qingxuan Sect seems to be a whole, after really understanding it, you will find that it is actually more like seven different sects.
　　“The　disciple　can.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked the Deputy Hall Master Lu again：
　　“If the Heart-Asking Mirror proves that the disciple is not lying, what will you do, Elder Lu？”
　　“What should I do？”
Elder Lu seemed to hear a big joke when he heard this.
　　“That’s right, Lu Zimu. If our Seventh Peak disciple Xu Taiping didn’t lie and you slandered him like this, shouldn’t you make some expression？”
　　Just as Elder Lu was about to speak out and scold Xu Taiping, suddenly a familiar voice sounded outside the hall.
　　Several people looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking into the main hall.
　　These two people, who else could they be but the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak, Zhao Qian？
　　And behind Zhao Qian, there was also a tall and straight young man with a handsome appearance.
　　This was naturally Xu Taiping’s second senior brother, Qing Xiao.
　　“Peak Master, Second Senior Brother Qing Xiao.”
　　Xu Taiping walked towards the two with some surprise.
　　Zhao Qian just nodded slightly to Xu Taiping, and then raised his head and walked straight towards that Lu Zimu.
　　Qing Xiao, on the other hand, smiled and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said： “This trip has been hard work.”
　　“It’s okay.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.
　　Qing Xiao smiled again upon hearing this and then whispered：
　　“Let’s talk about other things when we return to the Seventh Peak.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　“Lu Zimu, Elder Sun, how about we let this matter go for today？ I’ll take Xu Taiping back first.”
　　Zhao Qian crossed his arms and looked at Lu Zimu and Elder Sun.
　　“What, does Peak Master Zhao also think that your disciple is lying？”
　　Lu Zimu sneered at Zhao Qian.
　　“If you have anything to do, come at me directly. Don’t mess around with these messy things. If it really gets big, I, Zhao Qian, will accompany you to the end！”
　　Zhao Qian glared at Lu Zimu.
　　He was very angry at the moment. If it weren’t too late when he discovered that there was a problem with this training mission, he would never have let Xu Taiping go down the mountain. Not only would he not have let Xu Taiping go down the mountain, but he would also have gone to Jin Yue to have a good theory.
　　“Peak Master Zhao, what a bad temper.”
　　Just then, Jin Yue, the peak master of the First Peak, entered the Merit Hall with two disciples.
“Peak Master Jin, you’ve come just in time.”
　　Seeing that the person coming was Jin Yue, Elder Lu’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately bypassed Zhao Qian and welcomed him.
　　In the Qing Xuan Sect, the peak master of the First Peak is equivalent to the deputy sect leader. When the sect leader is away, he can take full control of the affairs within the sect, and his status is much higher than that of an ordinary peak master.
　　“The task in the Baishu Kingdom, does Peak Master Jin still remember it？”
　　Elder　Lu　asked.
　　“Naturally　I　remember.”
　　Jin Yue’s eyes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded.
　　“A few days ago, the news just came that when we were walking outside the mountains of the Wujiu Kingdom, the sixth princess of the Baishu Kingdom died in the palace because of assassinating the emperor of the Wujiu Kingdom. Unexpectedly, this brat still dares to come here with this token to claim credit.”
　　Elder Lu looked at Xu Taiping with a bit of disgust in his eyes.
“Not only did this son fail to complete the training, but he also dared to openly lie to the elder of the Merit Hall and fraudulently claim merit. I think it’s better to petition the Qilv Hall and send him back down the mountain again.”
　　Elder Lu added in a very stern tone.
　　Xu Taiping did not avoid Elder Lu’s gaze and looked at him calmly. At the same time, he thought faintly in his heart： “It seems that everyone has arrived.”
　　With the appearance of Jin Yue, all the confusions in his mind about this training were suddenly resolved.
　　“Xu Taiping, why did you lie？”
　　Jin Yue looked at Xu Taiping with a heartbroken expression at this time.
　　“Reporting to Peak Master Jin, the disciple has never lied.”
　　Xu Taiping still answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
　　“Peak Master Jin, listen clearly, my disciple did not lie.”
　　Zhao Qian took a step forward and blocked Xu Taiping behind him.
　　And Qing Xiao slightly moved his footsteps and stood side by side with Zhao Qian to protect Xu Taiping in the middle.
　　“Since that’s the case, then let’s ask the Heart Mirror.”
　　When Jin Yue said this to Elder Lu, his gaze was actually looking at Zhao Qian.
　　“We didn’t lie, why do we need to ask the Heart Mirror？”
　　Zhao Qian crossed his arms and looked at Jin Yue without dodging or flashing his eyes. Then he turned around and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go, back to Qifeng.”
　　He didn’t care whether Xu Taiping had lied or not. Anyway, he was going to take Xu Taiping away today.
　　“Zhao Qian, do you really think that Qingxuan’s Qilv Hall is just for show？ If you dare to take him away today, your peak will be removed from the list of the Seven Peaks Competition this time.”
　　Jin Yue snorted coldly at this time.
　　“Removed from the list then.”
　　Zhao Qian looked back at Jin Yue with a nonchalant expression and gave him a white look.
　　After hearing this, Xu Taiping was moved in his heart and also made a decision. He still took a little risk and told these people in front of him about the matter of Haitang and Xiang Nantian.
　　Because he knew that whether it was Senior Brother Qingxiao or Senior Sister Linglong and the others, they had all prepared for a long time for the Seven Peaks Competition a few months later. If they were removed from the list like this, it would be a pity.
　　Calculating the time, Sister Haitang and Brother Xiang should have almost left the Wujiu Kingdom. Now that he said it, it should have no effect on the two of them.
　　While thinking like this in his heart, Xu Taiping said to Zhao Qian beside him：
　　“Lord Feng, I really didn’t lie. The Sixth Princess is still alive.”
