　　After confirming this matter, Li Xueqing suddenly looked at Bei Guo Xiao with very complicated eyes, and then frowned and said：
　　”Senior Brother Beiguo, I just lost the challenge. You should go first in this round.”
　　At this time, Fu Liu also said with a smile on his face：
　　”Senior Brother Beiguo, please！”
　　The reason why Fu Liu could still be so calm was that he was very clear that even if you had the means to successfully pass the levels all the way, it was absolutely impossible to pass the sixth floor and the higher floors of this Wu Kui Tower.
　　Fu Liu looked at Beiguo Xiao with a smile and simultaneously muttered in his heart：
　　”From the first floor to the fifth floor, it is just used to help the disciples of Xuandan Palace temper their physical bodies and qi and blood. After the sixth floor is the real test of martial arts cultivation.”
　　”The gatekeepers in the building are no longer like the first to fifth floors, all of which are dead things. Once you cheat, you will definitely be directly expelled from the Wu Kui Tower.”
　　”At that time, there will be a good show to watch.”
　　At this time, Fu Liu’s mentality was almost exactly the same as Jiang Ping’s at the beginning.
　　The only difference was that his understanding of the Wu Kui Tower was far beyond that of Jiang Ping.
　　Facing the successive inquiries of the elder and Fu Liu and Li Xueqing, Beiguo Xiao did not answer directly but asked Xu Taiping in his heart：
　　”Immortal, should I go on stage and challenge now？”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head and said：
　　”Let’s wait and watch for a game first.”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t know much about the knife-grinding boy in the first place, and could just secretly observe through Li Xueqing’s challenge.
　　Hearing this, Beiguo Xiao immediately looked at the elder and said：
　　“Elder Niu, since Junior Sister Xueqing is already ready, let her go on stage and challenge first.”
　　Hearing this, Fu Liu and Li Xueqing looked at each other, and joy appeared in their eyes.
　　What Fu Liu was happy about was.
　　Beiguo Xiao refused to go on stage immediately, which showed that he had concerns in his heart, just verifying the previous guess.
　　And besides having the same idea as Fu Liu, what made Li Xueqing happy was that she didn’t have to wait aside and could directly continue to fight against the Knife-Grinding Boy.
This could keep the state she had managed to adjust maintained.
　　Immediately, I saw Li Xueqing cupping her hands towards Beiguo Xiao and the elder respectively and said：
　　“Since Senior Brother Beiguo is not willing to go on stage immediately, then I won’t be polite.”
　　As she spoke, I saw her toes lightly tap on the ground, and her figure leaped up very lightly and landed on the high platform.
　　At the same time, I saw her pressing her hand on the handle of the knife and loudly said without looking back：
　　“Li Xueqing, a disciple of Tianshuang Hall, has come to challenge the Mysterious Rank Knife-Grinding Boy！”
Youdaoplaceholder0 a Mysterious Rank Knife-Grinding Boy is also the minimum condition for a disciple of Xuandan Palace to climb the seventh floor.
　　The white-haired Elder Zhang immediately nodded slightly and said：
　　“Approved！”
　　As soon as the voice fell, only heard a “boom”, a puppet of a knife-sharpening boy who was originally standing motionless on the north side of the high platform suddenly diffused from its body an aura fluctuation equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Asking Heaven Realm, as well as the qi and blood power of a Martial Saint Realm warrior.
　　Seeing this, Xu Taiping nodded slightly and said in a low voice：
　　”The cultivation base and combat power corresponding to the rank of this knife-sharpening boy seem to be almost the same as those of the eight pillars. It should also be set up by the Xuandan Palace for the convenience of the disciples’ cultivation.”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was thinking like this, only heard a “clang”, Li Xueqing, who was originally standing quietly on the stage, suddenly drew her knife out of its sheath quickly, and slashed at the knife-sharpening boy like a bolt of lightning.
　　“clang！”
　　The knife-sharpening boy also almost simultaneously pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed towards Li Xueqing’s knife momentum.
　　“boom！”
　　The moment the two knife momenta collided, accompanied by a burst of deafening air explosion sounds, the knife shadows of Li Xueqing and the knife-sharpening boy almost simultaneously turned into a sky full of snowflakes and became entangled together.
　　It’s just that these snowflakes are one white and one black, clearly distinct.
　　“bang！”
Whenever two snowflakes collided, a crackling sound would ring on the high platform.
　　“bang bang bang bang bang！…
　　For a time, the continuous cracking sound kept resounding in this Knife-testing Pavilion.
　　At the same time, after each cracking sound, everyone could see a knife shadow shatter.
　　However, just when the black and white snowflakes were almost consumed in the collision with each other, Li Xueqing, who was hiding in the white snowflakes, suddenly revealed her figure and held the knife with both hands, integrating all the knife shadows like the sky full of flying snow behind her into it.
　　“Shua！ …”
　　In the harsh sound of breaking the air, Li Xueqing merged with the long knife in her hand and the knife shadows like the sky full of flying snow behind her, turning into a knife shadow of one or two hundred feet, traversing the high platform, and breaking the sky full of black snow transformed by the knife momentum of the knife-grinding boy with one knife, forcing him to reveal his body.
　　“Ceng！ ”
But just when Li Xueqing was about to defeat the knife-grinding boy with one knife, the knife-grinding boy actually integrated the knife shadows like the sky full of black snow behind him into one knife and greeted Li Xueqing’s knife shadow.
　　“Peng！ …”
　　In the sound of a huge shock, Li Xueqing’s white snow knife shadow and the knife-grinding boy’s black snow knife shadow almost shattered at the same time.
　　The knife momentum of both sides also almost shattered at the same time.
　　After a brief silence at the scene, suddenly only Jiang Yan shouted regretfully：
　　“It’s actually a draw！”
　　That’s right, in this game, Li Xueqing and the mysterious-rank knife-grinding boy fought to a draw.
　　The other disciples of Xuandan Palace who were watching the battle at the scene also expressed their regrets at this moment, and at the same time, they were amazed by the knife that Li Xueqing had just used to almost defeat the Grinding Knife Boy.
　　Not only them, but also Beiguo Xiao, after seeing that Li Xueqing and the Grinding Knife Boy had fought to a draw, stomped his foot with a look of regret on his face.
　　Seeing this, Dao Gui couldn’t help but said with some amusement：
　　This kid is really an infatuated seed. Li Xueqing was affectionate with that Fu Liuqing in front of him, and yet he still feels sorry for her.
　　Xu Taiping also didn’t understand very much.
　　At this moment, Liantong’s voice suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind：
　　This kid should have been planted with an infatuation tribulation.
　　Although I don’t know how to solve it, judging from the fact that he wouldn’t let you go earlier, he should instinctively want to seek a way to break the tribulation for himself through you.
　　When Xu Taiping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said：
　　There seems to be this possibility indeed.
　　Judging from the experience between Beiguo Xiao and Li Xueqing, and his actions at this moment, it really doesn’t seem like the behavior of a normal cultivator.
　　Coincidentally, at this moment.
After seeing Li Xueqing walk off the high platform, Beiguo Xiao seemed to have lost his soul and walked towards her.
　　“Pa！”
　　However, just as he was about to approach Li Xueqing, Fu Liu suddenly gently shook his wide sleeves and flicked out a gust of astral wind to block him, and sneered：
　　“Junior Brother Beiguo, it’s time for you to prepare to go on stage.”
　　Although Beiguo Xiao’s eyes were full of anger, he finally calmed down and only looked at Li Xueqing from a distance and said：
　　“Junior Sister Xueqing, that strike just now was very good. You will definitely be able to win against that knife-grinding boy in the next round！”
　　Li Xueqing, who was sharing her joy with Fu Liu, only casually glanced at Beiguo Xiao, then nodded expressionlessly and started chatting happily with Fu Liu again.
　　In an instant, Beiguo Xiao was like an eggplant beaten by frost, listless and without any vitality.
　　Xu Taiping, who was watching silently from the side, finally spoke up and asked：
　　“You want to pass the test on the sixth floor. Are you trying to prove something to that Li Xueqing？”
　　The depressed Beiguo Xiao nodded imperceptibly and then responded to Xu Taiping in his heart：
　　“I have known Xueqing since childhood. Until before coming to Xuandan Palace, our relationship was very close. Because of this, the two families had a marriage contract.”
　　“But ever since coming to this Xuandan Palace, everything has changed. She said that I am idle and do not seek to make progress, and she is unwilling to entrust her life to someone like me.”
　　“So she threatened to commit suicide, forcing me to tear up the marriage contract on my own initiative.”
　　“But I always feel that we shouldn’t be like this.”
　　“That’s why I want you, the immortal, to help me pass the test on the sixth floor and win the qualification to enter the inner sect of Xuandan Palace, and then ask her if there is still any room for maneuver between us.”
　　Beiguo Xiao added at this time：
　　“Because of some reasons of the Beiguo family, even if I worked hard and made progress no matter how hard I tried, I would never be able to reach the sixth floor in this life. So when you, the immortal, possessed me, instead of being afraid, I was very happy.”
　　Beiguo Xiao then said：
　　“Immortal, I know that your trip here must not be as simple as just coming to this Wu Kui Tower for training.”
　　“But it doesn’t matter. As long as you can help me achieve this wish, even if you want to seize my body, I, Beiguo Xiao, will never resist in the slightest.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping thought to himself：
　　“This Beiguo Xiao is really not as idle and incompetent as he seems on the surface.”
