　　“In that day’s competition, although we won the first peak of the Seven Peaks, we were also seriously injured. In the end, we lost to the second peak in the next round. Then my old illness relapsed and I was sent to the Baicao Hall with you.”
In a ward of the Baicao Hall, the eldest senior sister Jiang Zhi briefly told Xu Taiping, who had already got out of bed, what happened after he was in a coma that day.
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and at the same time, his eyes looked at the patrolling mirror placed in front of him again.
I saw that in the mirror, Zhao Linglong was helping the second senior brother Qing Xiao walked down the arena on the sword flat and behind them. the first peak’s eldest disciple Yan Bing was being carried off the stage by Jin Hezhi and Huang Qi and his life and death were unknown.
　　“It’s really hard work for the second senior brother.”
　　Looking at the red-stained magic robe of Qingxiao in the Mountain Patrol Mirror, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but tightly clench his fist, and the thought of quickly improving his cultivation became even stronger.
　　The scene in the mirror at this moment is the last match of this Seven Peaks Competition, “Asking the Sword Qingxuan”.
　　And this “Asking the Sword Qingxuan” is also the only match in the Seven Peaks Competition where disciples are allowed to fight and kill.
　　When he woke up, the match between Second Senior Brother Qingxiao and that Yan Bing had just come to an end.
　　Fortunately, he was able to witness with his own eyes that Senior Brother Qingxiao won the Qingxuan Sword Champion.
　　However, in this match, Senior Brother Qingxiao won very tragically. Just the injuries that Xu Taiping could see with the naked eye already numbered two or thirty, and there was no need to mention the invisible internal injuries.
　　”Yes, fortunately there is Qingxiao. Otherwise, this time our Seven Peaks wouldn’t have won a single match… Cough cough cough…”
　　Senior Sister Jiang Zhi sighed, and then began to cough continuously.
　　”Senior Sister, you go and rest. I’m already fine.”
　　Xu Taiping turned his head to look at Senior Sister Jiang Zhi and persuaded.
　　”Alright.”
　　Jiang Zhi nodded with a faint smile.
　　Even though she was seriously ill, her smile still gave people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
　　However, as soon as Jiang Zhi stood up, she fell to the ground with a “thud”.
　　”Senior Sister.”
　　Xu Taiping quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Zhi up.
　　And at this time, Jiang Zhi had already fainted.
　　There was no other way, so he could only place her on his own hospital bed first.
　　“Taiping, I haven’t finished what I was saying just now.”
　　Just then, Bai Yu in the gourd suddenly transmitted a message to him.
　　“Did Sister Lingyue give you something before she fell asleep？”
　　Xu　Taiping　asked.
　　Just when he had just woken up, Bai Yu transmitted a message to him, telling him that Fairy Lingyue had already entered the earthly fruit and fallen asleep.
　　And this was also one of the reasons why he felt that too many things had happened in these three days.
　　According to what Bai Yu said, the main reason why Fairy Lingyue was in such a hurry was that she sensed that the earthly fruit in the courtyard had already sprouted bamboo shoots, and if she didn’t go in, a bamboo would be wasted in vain.
　　Regarding this, Xu Taiping actually wasn’t too surprised.
　　Previously, when he broke through to the Open Door Realm, Fairy Lingyue had already fallen asleep in advance because she helped him deal with the extraterrestrial demons, and at that time, she also left a letter for him.
　　“That’s right.”
　　Bai Yu responded and then continued：
　　“Sister Lingyue left you two letters in the gourd. The one with a circle drawn on the envelope is for you to open immediately after waking up, and the other letter with a cross drawn on the envelope is for you to open in the future.”
　　“I’ll go call the doctor first and read it later.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and said.
　　The eldest senior sister had fallen into a coma, and he had to quickly invite the doctor from Hundred Herbs Hall.
　　“No, Sister Lingyue asked you to read it immediately and must not delay.”
　　Bai Yu emphasized in a very stern tone.
　　“You don’t know, this is the first time I’ve seen her speak in such a stern tone.”
　　It then added another sentence.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately stopped in his tracks.
　　Since Fairy Lingyue would say this, there must be something important to tell him.
　　“I’ll read it now.”
　　Without further ado, Xu Taiping took out the letter from the gourd.
　　After opening the envelope, Xu Taiping saw an ordinary piece of letter paper and a folded talisman.
　　“Why did Sister Lingyue leave me a talisman？”
　　Xu Taiping’s heart tightened, and a bad premonition welled up.
　　Then he unfolded the letter paper.
　　And the first sentence on the letter paper made his scalp tingle——
　　“Taiping, I’m injured. I was injured by that Red-Haired Saber Ghost.”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned in place as if struck by lightning.
　　Sister Lingyue is injured？
　　Still injured by the Red-Haired Saber Ghost？
　　His mind fell into a brief chaos.
　　But soon, after he managed to calm his mind a little, he continued to read on：
　　“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just have to enter the Earth Fruit ahead of time.”
　　“But the thing I want to tell you now is very important. You must remember it well.”
　　”First of all, if you are opening this letter inside the Hundred Herbs Hall, then quickly hold onto the talisman I gave you, because the Red-Haired Saber Ghost is right in the Hundred Herbs Hall.”
　　”Secondly, quickly close the door. I left another talisman seal on your door, which can block the Red-Haired Saber Ghost, but several days have passed, and the power of this talisman seal has weakened. Closing the door now will have a better effect.”
　　After seeing this, Xu Taiping quickly stepped forward and closed the door tightly.
　　Then he continued to read.
　　”The complete ins and outs of this matter, as well as what happened during the days you were unconscious, I have written in another letter. You don’t need to know it urgently. For now, you only need to know one thing. Regarding this Red-Haired Saber Ghost, I also miscalculated. Its strength is far beyond our imagination, and it is coming for you.”
　　”Bang,　bang,　bang！”
　　Just then, the door of the room was suddenly knocked on, and Xu Taiping was startled.
　　”Junior Brother Taiping, are you awake？ I’m your Senior Brother Xi.”
　　At this time, a man’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
　　”Xi… Senior Brother Xi？”
　　Xu　Taiping　frowned.
　　Previously, Senior Sister did say that Senior Brother Xi Yidao had woken up two days ago and also said that he would come to see him later.
　　However, when he was thinking about whether to open the door or not, his gaze suddenly caught a line of words on the letter paper——
　　“If your Senior Brother Xi comes knocking on the door, don’t open the door, don’t open the door, don’t open the door！”
　　As if having foreseen this scene in advance, the words “don’t open the door” were written three times in a row on the letter paper.
　　Xu Taiping, who had goosebumps all over his body, quickly retreated back into the room. Then, ignoring the knocking and shouting outside, his gaze rapidly scanned the letter in his hand——
　　“Your Senior Brother Xi wasn’t just injured by the Saber Ghost. He himself has already become a puppet of the Saber Ghost. And the reason why you were targeted by the Saber Ghost has a great deal to do with him. So definitely don’t open the door.”
　　“Your current situation is extremely dangerous. You must do as I say below. Only in this way can we temporarily seal that Saber Ghost and strive for a glimmer of hope for you and everyone on your Seventh Peak！”
