Hearing this, Zhao Qian frowned.
He knew Xu Taiping’s personality. He would never say such a thing without sufficient basis.
“Taiping, since this is the case, then stand in front of the Heart-Asking Mirror and say it again.”
Before Zhao Qian could speak, Jin Yue behind him suddenly laughed heartily and said.
And at this time, the Heart-Asking Mirror of Qingxuan Sect was also carried out by the disciples sent by Elder Lu and placed in the center of the main hall.
“Taiping, this matter cannot be taken lightly.”
Qingxiao whispered a reminder to Xu Taiping at this time.
“Senior Brother, every word I said is true.”
Xu Taiping said with a firm face.
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Qian and Qingxiao looked at each other and then nodded.
However, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he turned his head and glared at Jin Yue, and then raised the corner of his mouth and said：
“Lord Jin, in any case, the disciples of our Seventh Peak cannot be wronged for no reason. If the Heart-Asking Mirror can prove that he did not lie, the merit rewarded this time must be doubled.”
Jin Yue sneered when he heard this.
Regarding the ins and outs of this matter, except for the Sect Master, he was the one who knew the most clearly in Qingxuan Sect. So he was sure that Xu Taiping must have lied and was just holding on for the sake of face at the moment.
“If Taiping really didn’t lie, I will take out these merit coins myself to express my apology.”
Jin Yue laughed heartily.
“And what about you, Lu?”
Zhao Qian glared at Lu Zimu fiercely.
“If he really didn’t lie, I am also willing to take out the same amount of merit and apologize to him in front of everyone！”
Lu Zimu said very straightforwardly.
“But if the Heart-Questioning Mirror reveals that what you said is not true, I will immediately send you to the Qilv Hall！”
He then glared at Xu Taiping again.
“Since that’s the case, then Taiping, you go！”
Zhao Qian patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder.
Unlike the others, he and Qingxiao both knew Xu Taiping very well and knew that he was a very cautious person and would never agree to the Heart-Questioning Mirror without full confidence.
What’s more, he had already made the worst plan.
Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked briskly towards the bronze mirror that was as tall as him and inlaid with gold and precious stones on the west side.
Jin Yue actually didn’t expect Xu Taiping to answer so simply, and immediately frowned slightly, thinking in his heart：
“Could it be that the Sixth Princess is really still alive？”
But immediately he denied it in his heart and said：
“This plan was made by that Fairy Qi and a group of old monsters, and there is absolutely no possibility of failure.”
With this thought in mind, he stepped forward and walked to the side of the Heart-Questioning Mirror.
“Xu Taiping, for the questions I will ask you next, if you cannot answer truthfully, the Truth Mirror will reveal your true voice, so you better be careful.
Jin Yue reminded Xu Taiping who was standing in front of the Truth Mirror.
Xu Taiping nodded indifferently.
“The first question, when you came down the mountain this time, did you do anything that violated the sect’s precepts？”
Jin Yue asked.
“No.”
Xu Taiping shook his head frankly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the him in the Truth Mirror also shook his head and said a no.
Hearing this, Jin Yue nodded and then asked the second question：
“Was that half jade bracelet given to you personally by the Sixth Princess？”
“Yes.”
Xu Taiping nodded without hesitation.
At this time, the him in the bronze mirror also nodded.
Seeing this, Jin Yue’s brows furrowed slightly, and Lu Zimu beside him was slightly uneasy.
“The third question, did you bring the Sixth Princess of the White Tree Kingdom out of the Wujiu Kingdom’s imperial palace alive?”
After a slight pause, Jin Yue asked the most crucial question.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Xu Taiping.
“Yes.”
Xu Taiping answered still without hesitation.
And the him in the Truth Mirror also nodded without hesitation.
Seeing this, both Jin Yue and Lu Zimu had confused expressions on their faces.
And Zhao Qian and Qingxiao beside Xu Taiping both let out a long sigh of relief, and then Zhao Qian laughed heartily and said, “Lord Jin, Elder Lu, what else do you have to say now？”
”Lord Jin, even the Heart-Examining Mirror may have mistakes. I think we should report this matter to the Seven Laws Hall first and let the Heart-Examining Mirror test again another day.”
Lu Zimu said to Jin Yue reluctantly.
”You surnamed Lu, what kind of shit are you talking！”
Zhao Qian was completely angry when he heard this.
“Wait!” Don’t be noisy!
And Jin Yue at this time suddenly raised his hand, as if thinking of some possibility.
After a while, he suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with cold eyes and said：
”Taiping, did you violate the laws of the Nine Mansions and interfere in the affairs of the mortal world by rescuing the Sixth Princess of the Baishu Kingdom from the imperial palace of the Wujiu Kingdom？”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Zimu’s eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a sudden realization on his face：
”That’s right, this kid must have violated the laws of the Nine Mansions and sneaked into the imperial palace to rescue the Sixth Princess of the Baishu Kingdom.”
As soon as they heard this, Zhao Qian and Qingxiao also changed their complexions greatly, and both looked at Xu Taiping with worry on their faces.
Violating the laws of the sect can still be resolved within the sect, but if you violate the laws of the Nine Mansions, there will be no room for maneuver at all.
All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone in the Merit Hall looked at Xu Taiping again.
Xu Taiping ignored those gazes and took another step forward, facing the Heart-Examining Mirror in front of him and said：
“This time when I went down the mountain, I neither violated the precepts of the Qingxuan Sect nor the laws of the Nine Mansions. This can be proved by Huangque, the walker of the Nine Mansions.”
After saying this, the Heart-Examining Mirror showed no abnormality.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the Merit Hall.
And the expressions of Jin Yue and Elder Lu became extremely ugly.
