Looking at the beef and mutton heads and tofu and vegetables on the table and then looking at the Westerners who were holding chopsticks and looking at her one by one, Zhao Linglong said with a bit of being at a loss for words:
“What time is it, and you Westerners still have the heart to eat here!”
Fairy Lingyue, who had just put a chopstick of scalded mutton into her mouth, opened her mouth and exhaled, and said vaguely while waving to Zhao Linglong:
“Linglong, come and eat, come and eat, this sheep… was… hunted by Taiping last night… at Guimen Bridge… It sells for ten thousand gold essence coins in Liuxian Town!”
When Zhao Linglong heard this, a look of horror appeared in her eyes and she said: “Guimen Bridge, isn’t that the forbidden area of Taiyue Immortal Mansion?”
As she spoke, she quickly closed the door, hung a jade talisman that could prevent others from eavesdropping on the door, and then turned around and walked quickly towards the table.
She said as she walked:
“As far as I know, the Wuchang Peak where the Ghost Gate Bridge is located, apart from being extremely dangerous itself, is also guarded by several powerful mountain keepers supported by the Nine Mansions. Not to mention outsiders, even the people from the Nine Mansions would have difficulty getting in.”
When saying this, Zhao Linglong had already come to the table and sat down in the empty seat beside Xu Taiping.
Zhao Linglong asked Xu Taiping beside her with a curious face:
“Taiping, how did you get in?”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he fetched a pair of chopsticks and a bowl for Zhao Linglong and handed a small bowl with prepared sauce to Zhao Linglong.
After doing all this, he picked up a chopstick of mutton with the public chopsticks, scalded it in the stove, and smiled and asked Zhao Linglong:
“Senior Sister, do you remember Zhu Qiuya, the mountain keeper of the Ten Thousand Evils Peak, Old Zhu?”
Zhao Linglong nodded immediately and said:
“Of course I remember. On that day on the Ten Thousand Evils Peak, it was he who taught you to bathe with the spiritual spring to enhance the strength of your body. This matter caused quite a stir at that time. Many jealous cultivators even wanted to question the Nine Mansions, saying that this Old Zhu deliberately favored you.”
Xu Taiping smiled and then continued to explain:
“Just because of this matter, Old Zhu came down the mountain to meet me again a few days ago. At that time, I gave him a jar of wine, and he invited me to go hunting the gray-black mysterious sheep on the Wuchang Peak with him as a return gift.”
When he said this, Xu Taiping put the scalded piece of meat into his senior sister Zhao Linglong’s bowl.
After listening to Xu Taiping’s explanation, Zhao Linglong’s originally somewhat nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and then she felt relieved to pick up the scalded meat in the bowl, dipped it in some sauce and put it into her mouth.
”Hmm… The grey profound sheep from Wuchang Peak really have an extraordinary taste. No wonder they can be sold for ten thousand gold essence coins each in the Ghost Market.”
After one piece of meat was eaten, Zhao Linglong immediately “revealed her true nature”, clenched her fists with both hands and kept waving them, showing a look of enjoyment.
The “fairy” atmosphere that she had finally accumulated was completely gone.
As if feeling that it wasn’t enough to eat, while talking, Zhao Linglong directly poured a plate of sliced mutton in front of her into the pot.
She also poured in a few pieces of tender white tofu and half a plate of green vegetables, and then contentedly put down her chopsticks and sat very obediently on the chair, quietly waiting for the mutton in the pot to be scalded and cooked.
However, just as she put down her chopsticks, Zhao Linglong suddenly woke up and said, “Why did I forget the important thing!”
Ping An, who was sitting right opposite her, also nodded at this time and said:
”That’s right, Sister Linglong. Didn’t you just say that the list of the first round of the True Martial Sword Championship for Big Brother’s group has come out?”
Bai Yu on the side also nodded like Ping’an, and then stared at Zhao Linglong with the same curious expression and asked:
“That’s right, where’s the list?”
As he said this, while Ping’an wasn’t paying attention, he quietly replaced the bowl of sesame paste in front of Ping’an with chili peppers.
“Pa!”
The Fairy Lingyue on the side slapped Bai Yu on the back of the head, and then without looking at him, while helping Ping’an change the sauce back, she looked at Zhao Linglong and asked:
“That’s right, Miss Linglong, where’s your list?”
Zhao Linglong rolled her eyes at several people, and while taking out a spirit mirror from her sleeve, she muttered in a low voice:
“Obviously you guys are eating and drinking here, and I’m out doing things. Why does it seem like I’m the one being lazy now?”
Xu Taiping on the side heard it clearly, and immediately picked up a large chopstick of scalded beef and put it into the bowl in front of Zhao Linglong, and then smiled and said: “Senior Sister has worked hard.”
This “worked hard” made Zhao Linglong feel like she was in the spring breeze.
Immediately, she raised her face and looked at Xu Taiping with a smile and said:
“There’s no need to be so polite with me, little junior brother.”
Immediately, she handed the spirit mirror to Xu Taiping’s hand and then explained to him:
“Taiping, you just need to put the Sword Inquiry Token given to you by the Nine Mansions on this spiritual mirror, and the list of sword inquiry cultivators in your group will automatically appear in the spiritual mirror.”
Currently, except for the disciples participating in the Sword Inquiry, the outside world does not know the specific list of each group in this round.
Xu Taiping nodded and took the spiritual mirror.
On the day he reached the top of the Myriad Evils Peak and bathed in the spiritual spring, the Nine Mansions wrote his name into the Sword Supreme List and announced it to the five directions of the world.
When going down the mountain, Chen Sheng even personally handed this True Martial Sword Inquiry Token into Xu Taiping’s hands.
At this time, Fairy Lingyue, Peace, and Bai Yu also put down their chopsticks and bowls and looked at Xu Taiping together.
So, under the gaze of everyone’s eyes, Xu Taiping held the back of the spiritual mirror in one hand and gently placed the Sword Inquiry Token on the mirror surface of the spiritual mirror with the other hand.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Youdaoplaceholder0 by a burst of the deep buzzing sound the mirror surface of the spiritual mirror suddenly rippled with circles of golden ripples like water surface waves.
Immediately after, wisps of golden smoke as thick as chopsticks rose straight from the mirror surface.
Finally, these wisps of golden smoke all transformed into names written in ancient seal script.
Before Xu Taiping could recognize all the names, Zhao Linglong beside him suddenly frowned and said:
“This Bai Di is actually in the same group as you, Taiping.”
Xu Taiping had never heard of this Bai Di, so while continuing to silently write down the names one by one, he asked Zhao Linglong,
“Senior Sister, what is the background of this Bai Di?”
Looking intently at the list, Zhao Linglong also did not avoid answering and said,
“He is a loose cultivator from the mundane world in Zhenwu Heaven and one of the few young loose cultivators who has been very popular in recent years. Because he got the opportunity of the spiritual energy recovery in Zhenwu Heaven, in just one Jiazi, he has already broken through to the Huajing realm.”
“In addition… it is said that the master behind him is the sword immortal of loose cultivator origin who went to ask Jian Amon in the Pure Yang Sword Sect ten years ago and won half a move, Cui Tiegu.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then looked at Zhao Linglong in disbelief and said,
“Senior Sister, you, you mean, Senior Amon lost?!”
The scene where Amon broke open the underground cave in the secret realm of Yu Hu with one sword back then is still vivid in Xu Taiping’s mind.”
He really couldn’t believe that such an existence would lose in a sword asking.”
On the side, Fairy Lingyue was also a little curious and said,
“In terms of swordsmanship alone, Amon’s swordsmanship can be regarded as a leader even in the entire Shangqing Realm. He actually lost in Zhenwu Heaven?”
Zhao Linglong said helplessly upon hearing this:
“When we heard this news at that time, we were also very surprised. It was not until we later saw the scene recorded in the Moon Shadow Stone that we confirmed that in that battle, Senior Amon indeed lost.”
“Although he only lost by half a move, but if you lose, you lose.”
As she spoke, Zhao Linglong reached out and took out a Moon Shadow Stone from the Storage Ring.
With just a hard grip, the scene inside the Moon Shadow Stone turned into a translucent Illusory shadow , and with the water mist rising from the side stove, it appeared above the round table.
