　　The　main　peak.
　　At the entrance of the Cliff of Repentance.
　　“Junior brother, I’ll wait for you here. Only one person can enter the Cliff of Repentance in Qilv Hall to visit at a time.”
In the pavilion where they stopped to rest at the entrance, Qingxiao instructed Xu Taiping.
　　“Second senior brother, this won’t make it difficult for you, right？”
　　Xu Taiping confirmed with Qingxiao again.
　　“No.”
　　Qingxiao shook his head.
　　“The crime Liu Zijin committed is excusable. She is not a heinous person, and with the five peak masters trying their best to protect her, it’s normal for someone to come and visit.”
　　He then explained again.
　　“Then thank you, senior brother.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　“By　the　way.”
　　Qingxiao suddenly stopped Xu Taiping.
　　“What’s the matter, senior brother？”
　　Xu Taiping looked at Qingxiao in confusion.
　　“You haven’t fallen in love with that Liu Zijin, have you？”
　　Qingxiao hesitated for a while, but finally decided to ask the doubt in his heart.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
　　“Second Senior Brother, don’t worry. I have no romantic feelings for Senior Sister Zi Jin. It’s just that I had a promise to her sister. Now that she is going to be expelled from Yunlu Mountain, no matter what, I have to come and see her.”
He explained to Qing Xiao with a straightforward look on his face.
　　Regarding the Liu Zi Jin sisters, what was in Xu Taiping’s heart was more of a feeling of injustice.
　　Feeling unjust for the things that happened to these two people.
　　“That’s good.”
　　Qing Xiao nodded, and a relieved look appeared in his eyes.
　　“I heard from the disciples of the Fifth Peak before that the Liu Zi Jin seems to be on a hunger strike recently. Her qi mansion has been broken, and if she doesn’t eat for a long time, I’m afraid she won’t be able to hold on until she goes down the mountain. You can just go and persuade her when you go there.”
　　He then added another reminder to Xu Taiping.
　　“I will definitely persuade her well.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded seriously.
　　……
　　Meditation Cliff.
After passing through, set up by the Seven Rhymes Hall, Xu Taiping finally saw Liu Zi Jin ina cave on the cliff.
At this time, Liu Zi Jin was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, wearing a white single with long hair. and her empty eyes staring at the stone wall in front of her.
　　Even when she heard someone coming, she didn’t turn around, but just said woodenly with a dull expression：
　　“Don’t bring me food anymore.”
　　“Junior Sister Zi Jin, it’s not to bring you food. There is someone here to see you.”
　　A disciple from the Seven Rhymes Hall who led Xu Taiping the way replied.
　　Upon hearing this, Liu Zijin turned around in surprise.
　　And then she saw Xu Taiping behind the disciple at a glance.
　　“Long time no see, Senior Sister Zijin.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Liu Zijin.
　　Seeing that the person coming was Xu Taiping, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Zijin’s pale face.
　　“Long time no see, Junior Brother Taiping.”
　　She smiled at Xu Taiping.
　　However, there was a lot of bitterness in her smile.
　　“I’ll wait on the stone bridge in front. You two have the time of one incense stick to talk.”
　　The disciple from the Seven Rhymes Hall handed a food box to Xu Taiping and then patted Xu Taiping’s shoulder meaningfully.
　　This disciple from the Seven Rhymes Hall was originally also from the Fifth Peak. When Liu Zijin was locked up here, the master of the Fifth Peak specifically greeted him and asked him to take more care of Liu Zijin.
　　“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
　　Xu Taiping took the food box and thanked the disciple from the Seven Rhymes Hall.
　　“Are you also here to persuade me to eat？”
　　Liu Zijin asked Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　“The qi mansion is destroyed. If you don’t eat anymore, Senior Sister, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on until the day you go down the mountain.”
　　Xu Taiping sighed and then put down the food box.
　　“If I can’t hold on, then so be it. I haven’t even avenged my sister. Living like this in such a despicable way, there’s no joy in life at all.”
　　Liu Zijin said with a dejected expression on her face.
　　“Why didn’t you hand over that Xun Chenxiang to the Xianlv Division？”
　　Xu Taiping leaned against the wall of the cliff cave and asked Liu Zijin with some confusion.
　　“According to the regulations of the Qilv Hall, if a disciple on the mountain kills an outer disciple at the foot of the mountain, the most serious punishment is nothing more than expelling him to the foot of the mountain. In a few years, he can return to the mountain through the Qifeng selection again.”
　　Having said this, Liu Zijin sneered, and then asked Xu Taiping with a look of unwillingness in her eyes：
　　“Such a painless punishment is simply a drop in the bucket compared to the pain my sister endured.”
　　“So you planned to punish that Lu Chen in your own way？”
　　Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
　　Liu Zijin nodded, and then smiled with a somewhat ferocious expression on her face：
　　“I lured him to my residence, then sealed his dantian, and locked him up for three days and three nights, torturing him for three days and three nights. But just when I was about to end his life, he accidentally used the accumulated power to break the seal and escaped by using his life-saving method.”
　　When she finished speaking, her eyes were full of deep unwillingness and regret.
　　“You’ve also read that ‘Xun Chen Xiang Tai Ping’. Can my little torture to that Lu Chen be even one ten-thousandth of what my sister suffered？”
　　Liu Zijin suddenly looked at Xu Taiping again.
　　“Not　even　close.”
　　Xu Taiping answered without hesitation.
　　He had read that ‘Xun Chen Xiang’. The experiences of Liu Qingmei in it could only be described as heinous. Moreover, even after Liu Qingmei’s death, that Lu Chen didn’t let her go. Instead, he threw her near the lair of the tiger demon and she became a ghost slave of the tiger demon’s chang gui.
　　“But your current situation definitely isn’t what your Qingmei sister would want to see.”
　　Xu Taiping tried to persuade.
　　“Xu Taiping, I don’t have a sister anymore, I don’t have one anymore.”
　　Liu Zijin looked at Xu Taiping, with tears in her eyes and said.
　　In her broken eyes, there was no sign of life.
　　“But that Lu Chen isn’t dead yet either, is he？”
　　Xu Taiping’s fingers gently tapped on the cliff wall, and then he looked up at that Liu Zijin.
　　Liu Zijin was stunned when she heard this.
　　“He’s not dead. Liu Zijin, how dare you die？”
　　Xu Taiping increased his tone by a few degrees and looked at that Liu Zijin with a sharp gaze and added.
　　This time it was Liu Zijin’s turn to be silent.
　　“Yeah, how dare I die？”
　　She raised her head and muttered blankly.
　　“Senior Sister Zijin, live well. Only by living can you find the opportunity to seek revenge.”
　　Xu Taiping’s tone became soft again.
　　As he spoke, he opened the food box and placed the meals on the table.
　　“But now that my qi sea has been broken and I have become an ordinary mortal, where do I have the qualification to seek revenge from him？”
　　Liu Zijin said with a bitter smile.
　　“My grandfather often said to me that the wicked will be punished by heaven. As long as you live well, maybe one day you will receive the news of Lu Chen’s death.”
　　Xu Taiping pointed to the sky with a smile.
　　“Heaven？”
　　Liu Zijin smiled helplessly and bitterly.
　　“This heaven doesn’t care about the sufferings of us common people at all.”
　　She shook her head with a desolate look in her eyes.
　　But soon, her pupils shrank again, and she looked at Xu Taiping nervously and said：
　　“Taiping, you…”
　　“Senior Sister Zijin, eat.”
　　Xu Taiping interrupted Liu Zijin and pushed the bowl full of white rice in front of Liu Zijin.
