Not long after, a team of courtyard guards from Fengxiao Villa suddenly barged in and happened to see Xu Taiping holding a knife in one hand and Lu Chen’s head in the other.
“Lu… Young Master Lu？！”
A courtyard guard recognized the head in Xu Taiping’s hand.
“You, you, who are you? How dare you assassinate Young Master Lu! he is the son of a Elder of Qingxuan Sect!”
The courtyard guard pointed a knife at Xu Taiping tremblingly and said.
At this moment, in the eyes of that person, Xu Taiping had red hair and green eyes, holding a knife in one hand and a human head in the other, looking no different from the ghost in the legend so he was extremely afraid.
Xu Taiping just took a look at that person and said nothing.
This group of people, he deliberately asked Bai Yu to let them in, in order to let them see his appearance of “red hair and green eyes”.
”Catch, catch him！”
After a short hesitation, that group of people finally rushed towards Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping opened his mouth and then “whooshed” out a thick fog from his mouth, instantly making the entire courtyard fall into the thick fog.
At the same time, he raised one hand high.
The sound of an eagle’s cry resounded through the night sky.
A huge white-headed eagle “boomed” past over the small courtyard, and one of its claws even grabbed the hand that Xu Taiping stretched out, dragging him into the air.
When he was twenty or thirty zhang above the ground, Xu Taiping raised his palm and condensed five clusters of spiritual fire at his fingertips.
Then he saw him flick his hand and throw these five clusters of spiritual fire towards the courtyard below at the same time.
A moment later, a fire snake rushed into the sky.
The entire Fengxiao Villa was covered in the big fire.
He had no sympathy for these people who aided the evildoers.
”Bai Yu, Ping An, are you not injured？”
Xu Taiping used his hand to grab Bai Yu’s talons, and then forcefully jumped up, flipping over and landing on Bai Yu’s back.
“Jī！”
The little monkey Ping An jumped onto Xu Taiping’s shoulder in one go.
“No, but, Xu Taiping, I don’t like fighting.”
Ping An said to Xu Taiping with a smile.
“A bunch of bastards, how could they hurt this master？”
Bai Yu said with a tone full of pride.
“That’s good.”
Xu Taiping held Ping An in his arms and nodded with a smile.
“Xu Taiping, my mother’s demon core and original demon blood, it will take me another one or two months to completely digest them. By then, I’m going to kill the Peacock King, just like you killed Lu Chen today！”
Bai Yu suddenly said with a somewhat cold tone.
“Go together.”
Xu Taiping nodded seriously with a solemn expression.
“Go together！”
Ping An also raised his arm and shouted at this time.
Hearing this, another eagle cry resounded through the night sky, as if venting the long-pent-up anger in the chest.
Fairy Lingyue, who had also come out of the gourd, grinned after seeing this scene, and then privately transmitted a message to Xu Taiping： “What do you think？”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping looked at the head of Lu Chen in his hand, and then nodded and said：
“I may not be able to sweep the snow in front of others’ doors, but if this snow falls in front of my door, I will definitely sweep it clean.”
This answer satisfied Fairy Lingyue very much.
On the path of cultivation, any cultivator will encounter the problem of ‘what to do when seeing evil’. Some choose to live next to evil, some choose to turn a blind eye and consider it clean, and some choose to hate evil like an enemy.
And Xu Taiping’s choice is to’sweep away the evil in front of one’s own door’, which happens to coincide with Fairy Lingyue’s choice back then.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
In front of the Yangxin Pavilion on the Seventh Peak.
“Oh, Taiping, it turns out you have already come out.”
Seeing Xu Taiping come down from a pavilion next to the Yangxin Pavilion, Qingxiao was a little surprised.
“Yeah, I came out a long time ago.”
Xu Taiping nodded with a smile.
“How do you feel?”
Qingxiao asked Xu Taiping with a smile.
“Very good.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“By the way, Senior Brother, Du Qianjiang from the Fifth Peak told me yesterday that Senior Sister Zijin will go down the mountain today, and I want to see her off.”
He suddenly said.
“Go down the mountain today？”
Qingxiao didn’t expect it to be so early.
“Do you want me to go with you？”
He asked Xu Taiping.
“No need, Second Senior Brother, you still have to prepare for the third competition tomorrow. I have the pass token given to me by Senior Brother Du here, and there won’t be any problems.”
Xu Taiping took out the token that Du Qianjiang gave him.
“Well, then you go. I’m going into the Yangxin Pavilion.”
Qingxiao nodded and didn’t insist anymore.
……
On the fifth peak, on the Cloud-Climbing Platform.
“Liu Zijin, the time has come, and you should follow me on the road.”
A spiritual crane with gray feathers said to Liu Zijin standing in front of it with a hint of impatience in its tone.
“Please wait for the disciple for a while, Elder Greywing.”
Liu Zijin looked at the steps at the entrance of the Cloud-Climbing Platform, and then turned to plead with the grey crane.
“You have been waiting for almost a stick of incense.”
The grey crane snorted coldly.
“Elder Greywing, please wait a little longer.”
Seeing that Elder Greywing was about to get angry, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar beside Liu Zijin suddenly walked to Elder Greywing with a smile on his face.
As he spoke, he also flicked his large sleeve and sent a talisman exuding a strong spiritual energy fluctuation to Elder Greywing.
“This… Since Lord Shen has spoken, then I will wait for half a stick of incense. If you still don’t leave after half a stick of incense, I will have to report to the Seven Laws Hall. As you know, Lord Shen, the punishment of the Seven Laws Hall is not something that I can afford.”
The tone of Elder Greywing was very difficult.
“Don’t worry, Elder Greywing, just half a stick of incense.”
The middle-aged man full of scholarly spirit nodded with a smile.
“Thank you, Master.”
Liu Zijin looked at the middle-aged man with gratitude on his face.
This refined middle-aged man was none other than the peak master of the Fifth Peak, Shen Zhi, Liu Zijin’s master.
“We are master and apprentice, so there is no such thing as trouble.”
Shen Zhi shook his head at Liu Zijin, and there was still a sense of regret in his eyes.
Liu Zijin had entered the mountain for a total of six years, and he could be regarded as growing up under Shen Zhi’s watchful eye. Now that they were parting, naturally, he was very reluctant.
“Master, this disciple has caused you trouble.”
Looking at Shen Zhi’s tired face, Liu Zijin’s heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
“It is this master who failed to protect you comprehensively.”
Shen Zhi shook his head and said.
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Du Qianjiang, the eldest senior brother who was standing aside without saying a word.
“Qianjiang, did you really make an appointment with that Xu Taiping that day？”
He asked Du Qianjiang.
“This disciple told him the date when junior sister goes down the mountain and also gave him a pass order of the Fifth Peak.”
Du Qianjiang nodded and said.
The person the three of them were waiting for at this moment was none other than Xu Taiping.
“Recently, the Seven Peaks Competition is coming, and Xu Taiping should have no time to come. I will not wait anymore.”
After looking at the entrance of Dengyun Terrace again and finding that no one came up, Liu Zijin’s eyes suddenly dimmed and said.
She didn’t have any special intention in waiting for Xu Taiping, she just wanted to say goodbye properly to this friend who had helped their sisters several times.
Leaving without saying goodbye is the greatest discourtesy.
“Since he is a friend, he will definitely come. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Shen Zhi smiled calmly and signaled Liu Zijin not to worry.
Upon hearing the word “friend”, Liu Zijin smiled bitterly in her heart, thinking that perhaps she didn’t even count as a friend in his heart.
And at this moment, a crane’s cry sounded from the horizon.
“He’s here.”
Shen Zhi immediately said with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zijin’s originally gloomy face suddenly showed a smile.
Soon, in a gust of whistling wind, a figure jumped down from the back of the spirit crane and landed steadily on the Dengyun Platform.
“Brother Qianjiang, Senior Sister Zijin.”
Xu Taiping, holding a wooden box, quickly walked up to the two of them.
“I was a bit delayed and came late.”
He said with great apology.
“It’s not late.”
Du Qianjiang and Liu Zijin shook their heads in unison.
“This… could it be Peak Master Shen？”
Xu Taiping had met Peak Master Shen once during the Seven Peaks Selection.
“That’s right.”
Peak Master Shen smiled faintly at Xu Taiping, without any airs of a peak master at all.
“Disciple Xu Taiping greets Peak Master Shen.”
Xu Taiping immediately cupped his hands and said.
“You don’t have to be so polite. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for comforting Zijin earlier.”
Sect Master Shen said with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
His attitude was so sincere that he didn’t look like a sect master at all.
“Sect Master Shen is too kind. It’s just a small effort.”
Xu Taiping shook his head and said.
“You and Zijin talk slowly. We’ll avoid disturbing you for now.”
Sect Master Shen signaled Du Qianjiang beside him with his eyes.
“Sect Master Shen, Senior Brother Qianjiang, you don’t have to avoid.”
Xu Taiping stopped the two of them and then looked at Liu Zijin with a smile and said：
“I don’t have much to say to Sister Zijin. I just brought some things for her, which she might be able to use when she’s down the mountain.”
