Three days later.
Still at the Five Elders Pool on the main peak.
Only this time, like senior sister and second senior brother, Xu Taiping stood beside the flag of the seven peaks on the sword flat.
”The rules for this round of the competition are as follows. After drawing lots, the two sides will send four disciples in turn to hang the iron and engrave the words. Among the two disciples in each round of the competition, the one whose sword can bear the highest weight and who can engrave the Qingxuan Seven Rhymes completely will win.”
”In the end, the side with the most victories in this round of the competition will be the winner.”
As usual, Elder Heilong briefly read out the rules for this round of the competition.
”Senior sister, little junior brother！”
”Junior brother Taiping！”
At this time, Xu Taiping faintly heard someone shouting his name on the viewing platform of Yunlou.
Turning around and looking in the direction of the sound, he found that it was actually Eighth Senior Brother and the others.
Besides several senior brothers, Xu Taiping also saw Senior Sister Ziyan from the Sixth Peak and Lin Buyu.
Senior Sister Ziyan was even smiling and waving at them.
Xu Taiping then also politely waved at several people.
“You are Xu Taiping？”
Before he could put down his hand, a somewhat familiar voice came from Xu Taiping’s left ear.
Turning his head to look, he found that it was a male disciple from the sixth peak next door.
This male disciple had a round face and was not very tall, looking rather simple and honest.
Xu Taiping looked at him and felt familiar, so he seriously thought about it. Finally, a name appeared in his mind – “Lin Buyu’s seventh senior brother.”
A few days ago when watching the battle on the Cloud Tower, he could always see this round-faced disciple, Greet Xu Ziyan and Lin Buyu very warmly.
“You are… Buyu’s seventh senior brother？”
Xu Taiping blurted out and asked.
“Is Buyu’s name something you can call？”
The round-faced man glared at Xu Taiping.
The hostility of this seventh disciple of the sixth peak towards him made Xu Taiping feel a little baffled.
“Xu Taiping, you are here to make up the number for the seventh peak, right？”
Then, the round-faced man asked with a somewhat teasing smile.
After seeing the intention of this person to stir up trouble, Xu Taiping didn’t really want to pay attention to him and just pretended not to hear.
“When senior brother talks to you, you still dare to pretend not to hear？”
The round-faced man suddenly kicked Xu Taiping.
“Zhou Ao？ What are you doing？”
Before Xu Taiping could react, this scene was just seen by Zhao Linglong who turned around to talk to Xu Taiping. She immediately asked the round-faced man with a cold face.
Zhao Linglong’s voice was not loud, but because the distance was too close, Jiang Zhi and Qing Xiao beside her also heard it.
“What’s going on？”
“What happened？”
Du Gu Qingxiao and the eldest senior sister Jiang Zhi turned around at the same time and looked at the two people.
“This Zhou Ao kicked Taiping for no reason.”
Zhao Linglong pointed at that Zhou Ao angrily and said.
“Senior sister Linglong, you misunderstood. I was just saying hello to junior brother Taiping.”
The round-faced man Zhou Ao smiled and put his hand on Xu Taiping’s shoulder.
Xu Taiping’s shoulder shook, and with a “bang” sound, he directly shook that Zhou Ao’s hand off his shoulder.
The body of a martial artist is as hard as iron.
So when Xu Taiping shook, it was no different from hitting that Zhou Ao with a sledgehammer, and immediately it hurt him so much that he She frowned (frowned).
“Senior brother, when saying hello to people, it’s best not to touch them. If outsiders see it, they will think that the disciples of our Qingxuan Sect don’t know etiquette.”
Xu Taiping looked at that Zhou Ao calmly and said.
He doesn’t like to stir up trouble, but when the other party bullies him, he is not afraid of trouble either.
“Xu Taiping, you are a newly initiated disciple, and you talk to your senior brother in this tone？”
Zhou Ao glared at Xu Taiping fiercely.
“Zhou Ao, you’ve become quite imposing after not seeing you for a few days.”
Du Gu Qingxiao stood beside Xu Taiping with his arms crossed at this time.
“Taiping has been quite polite to you. If you dare to greet me like this, I guarantee that you won’t be able to get out of bed for a month.”
He gave Zhou Ao a cold glare.
Regarding this seventh junior brother of the Sixth Peak who bullies the weak and is always not too honest, Du Gu Qingxiao had already heard about him from Senior Sister Zi Yan. Usually, he didn’t bother to pay attention to him, but at this moment, when he bullied his junior brother, how could he stand by and do nothing.
“Senior Brother Qingxiao, what’s going on？”
At this time, the eldest senior sister of the Sixth Peak, a woman with a somewhat mature appearance, walked over.
Qingxiao didn’t speak but looked down at Xu Taiping, seeking his opinion.
“Second Senior Brother, it’s also possible that I misunderstood this Senior Brother Zhou. Maybe in their hometown, they use their feet to greet people.”
Xu Taiping said very seriously to Du Gu Qingxiao.
Upon hearing this, the eldest senior sister of the Sixth Peak immediately understood.
“You get over there.”
She glared at that Zhou Ao.
Zhou Ao was somewhat unconvinced and gave Xu Taiping a fierce glare, saying,
For such a small matter, you still need someone to protect you. Just wait to make a fool of yourself in the competition later！
Upon hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao’s face became even colder.
All the disciples of Qingxuan Sect knew that Du Gu Qingxiao of the Seventh Peak was notoriously protective of his juniors. Maybe he wouldn’t bother with you if you scolded him a few times, but if you scolded or hurt his junior brothers and sisters, then you just wait to be retaliated against by him.
Brother Qingxiao, this brat just has a big mouth and definitely has no malicious intentions. Please don’t lower yourself to their level.
That senior sister of the Sixth Peak quickly apologized to Du Gu Qingxiao.
Qingxiao didn’t speak but once again looked at Xu Taiping.
Brother, I’m fine.
Xu Taiping smiled faintly.
That Zhou Ao indeed made him a little unhappy, but it wasn’t enough to make his second senior brother have a conflict with the Sixth Peak because of him. After all, it was still during the competition.
Please send the disciples of each peak to the stage to draw lots.
Just at this time, the voice of Elder Heilong once again boomed over the Sword Terrace.
The attention of both sides was then focused on the center of the Sword Terrace.
……
A moment later.
Senior Sister Jiang Zhi came back with a lottery.
The opponent in the first round is the Sixth Peak.
Senior Sister Jiang Zhi smiled faintly at everyone.
The crowd heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Among the seven peaks, the strength of the Sixth Peak and the Seventh Peak is about the same. So for them, this is undoubtedly the best draw.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping looked at the Sixth Peak side and found that the disciples of their Sixth Peak were also all smiling happily at this time. Obviously, they also felt that they had drawn a good lottery.
“As expected of the last and the second to last.”
He couldn’t help but mock in his heart.
“However, their lottery number is above ours. After the competition starts in a while, they will be the first to assign disciples to play.”
Senior Sister Jiang Zhi suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with some worry.
And after hearing this, Zhao Linglong and Qing Xiao also looked at Xu Taiping like Senior Sister Jiang Zhi.
“Senior Sister, is there anything wrong with this？”
Xu Taiping was a little was puzzled.
“In this way, Taiping, you won’t be able to choose the weight of the ballast iron by yourself. You either admit defeat or choose a ballast iron heavier than the first disciple of the Sixth Peak to play.”
Qing Xiao explained to Xu Taiping with some worry.
