　　This evening.
　　In the same inn room.
　　Xu Taiping handed a jade slip to Fairy Lingyue and said in a low voice with a serious expression：
　　“There is news about Elder Chu.”
　　Fairy Lingyue took the jade slip and took a look.
　　It was written on the jade slip：
“Little Friend Ping’an, everything is as your senior expected. Someone set up a killing game in the golden palace to besiege and kill me. Fortunately, because of the advance notice from your senior, this old man was able to escape this disaster with the cicada shell method.
“Regarding that killer, even though this old man was on guard in advance, I still couldn’t detect his trace.”
　　“Little Friend Ping’an, what should this old man do next? I hope little friend will ask your senior to enlighten this old man.”
　　After reading the words on the jade slip, the corner of Fairy Lingyue’s mouth slightly raised and said：
　　“Sure enough, as Liantong deduced, those people still attacked Chu Qiuya.”
　　As he said this, he handed the jade slip back to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping took the jade slip and nodded, saying：
　　“Fortunately, I convinced Old Chu during the hunting yesterday. Otherwise, today we should have heard the real news of Old Chu’s death.”
　　Fairy Lingyue looked at the jade slip in Xu Taiping’s hand and then asked curiously：
　　“What do you plan to let Old Chu do next？”
　　“Let him tell the Jiufu about this？”
　　After seriously thinking about it, Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
　　“Sister Lingyue, I feel that this assassination of Old Chu has a very familiar smell.”
　　Fairy　Lingyue　asked：
　　“Su Chan？”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded：
　　“That’s right.”
　　Fairy Lingyue asked curiously：
　　“Why are you so sure it’s Su Chan？”
　　After seriously thinking about it, Xu Taiping replied：
　　“This assassination was done too cleanly. Even with the help of Liantong, we could only let Old Chu use the golden cicada shedding its shell method to avoid this assassination.”
　　“In the end, we didn’t even find the shadow of the murderer.”
　　“The person who can do this and also wants to disrupt this True Martial Sword Puppet Association, the only one I can think of is Su Chan.”
　　The Fairy Lingyue nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then asked：
　　“Then, what do you plan to have Elder Chu do next？”
　　Xu Taiping picked up the jade slip he had received from the Fairy Lingyue and then replied：
　　“I plan to have Elder Chu hide in the shadows for the time being and then wait and see what happens, to see what that Su Chan plans to do next.”
　　In fact, he had already determined in his heart that even if the assassination of Elder Chu was not done by Su Chan, it must be somewhat related to her.
　　The Fairy Lingyue seriously thought about it for a while before answering：
Alright, this is the safest way, and you can also rest assured to prepare for the upcoming first round of the competition.
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then used the jade slip to send a message, informing Elder Chu of his thoughts.
　　……
　　At the same time.
　　In the west wing room of the Wenhe Tower.
　　When he saw that the name of Chu Ping’an was actually on the sword-questioning list of his clan, Bai Di suddenly burst out laughing and said：
　　“Actually putting me and this fellow in the same group, the Sword Champion Ranking really knows my heart！”
　　As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the masked woman beside him who was checking the list of her own group, and said with confidence：
　　“Little Martial Uncle, I have chosen the opponent for my first sword-questioning.”
　　The masked woman didn’t even turn her head and asked：
　　“Who？”
　　Bai Di grinned and said：
　　“The casual cultivator, Chu Ping’an.”
　　Hearing this, the masked woman then turned her head to look at the Bai Di.
　　After looking at Bai Di for a glance, she then said in a cold tone：
　　“Bai Di, if you want to ask that Chu Ping’an for a sword fight, I advise you to be more cautious.”
　　Bai Di walked to the chair in front of the masked woman and sat down, and then asked with a smile：
　　“Uncle Zi Jin, I really can’t think of a reason to lose to that Chu Ping’an.”
　　Bai　Di　continued：
“I hope Uncle Zi Jin can answer for me.”
　　The masked woman stood up and walked out of the room without looking back and said：
　　“I have said all I need to say, you do as you please.”
　　As she spoke, her figure“swished”and disappeared from the spot.
　　At the same time, the door of the wing room was also“slammed”shut.
　　Bai Di, who was leaning back in the chair, looked at the door of the wing room with a cold expression and said：
　　“Liu Zi Jin, don’t think that just because Master can protect you, you can be so arrogant.”
　　And just as he said this, the jade slip placed on the table by Bai Di suddenly rang.
　　Immediately, he used the technique of grabbing things from a distance to grab the messaging jade slip over.
　　Bai Di picked up the jade slip and took a closer look, and saw that on the jade slip, a mass of spiritual power was rapidly gathering into lines of golden words.
　　After the text was completely revealed, Bai Di looked at the jade slip and muttered：
　　“Bai Di, in the first round of sword-questioning, there are not many sword cultivators in your group who can fight against you. However, you should pay attention to Lu Xibai and Chu Ping’an.”
　　“Especially that Chu Ping’an, we don’t know much about him at present.”
“If you question his sword at this time, there is a high possibility of error.”
　　After seeing this line of text clearly, a hint of anger couldn’t help but appear in Bai Di’s eyes.
　　But when the signature at the back of this line of text was revealed, the anger in Bai Di’s eyes suddenly turned into confusion, and heSecret passage： “Why don’t you even trust me, Master？”
I saw that the name signed on the jade slip was prominent Bai Di’s master, Cui Tiegu.
After careful consideration, Bai Di finally transmits to Cui Tiegu:
　　“Master, this disciple has taken note.”
After the sound, he took a deep breath, calmed the resentment in his heart, and then looked out of the window and said coldly:
　　“But Master, if this Chu Ping’an takes the initiative to question my sword, this disciple will not be polite.”
　　With this thought in mind, Bai Di suddenly took out a talisman from his sleeve, and then stared at the talisman and muttered：
　　“Although using this Suixin Talisman on this person is a bit of a waste, if it can really fulfill my wish and make my Dao heart calm, it will be worth it.”
　　Saying that, he saw his two fingers clamping the talisman tightly and injecting a strand of true essence into it.
　　In an instant, that talisman turned into a ball of fire and dissipated.
