One month later.
Green Bamboo Residence.
“Tear…”
Xu Taiping tore off a page of the yellow calendar on the wall, revealing a new page – July 9th, suitable for entertaining guests, not suitable for traveling.
“In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Sister Lingyue fell asleep.”
He stretched and muttered to himself.
“The injury of that demonic tiger is probably healed too, right？”
Thinking of that demonic tiger that was eyeing him covetously, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
After breaking through to the Open Door Realm, the childishness on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by the sharpness of a cultivator. If he didn’t deliberately restrain it, even in his every move, he could give ordinary people a kind of indescribable oppressive feeling.
“Even if it comes, I’m not afraid of it.”
Xu Taiping clenched his fist and looked out the window with a resolute gaze.
Although only one month has passed, during this one month, Xu Taiping has almost been practicing without sleep or rest.
Because he has broken through to the Open Door Realm, he has been able to do fasting for half a month without causing any damage to his body. and can use meditation to replace sleep.
In this way, the time for his practice has doubled again.
Those cultivators who can practice at most three or four hours a day naturally have no way to compare with him.
And during this period of hard practice, Xu Taiping has almost mastered the Ice Breath Technique taught by Fairy Lingyue, and the martial art “Green Ox Fist” he practiced before has also made great progress. For example, the Bull Ram Chisel Formation that could only be punched a dozen times before can now be punched a complete 108 times, and the power is very considerable.
In addition, during this period, he also bought a “Seven Kills Saber” to make up for the lack of mid-range attack power, and now he can almost master it.
Coupled with the magic weapon flying sword obtained from the Changgui and the remaining Qi Gathering Pill, Xu Taiping now has at least the power to protect himself in the face of that demon tiger.
”Bang, bang, bang！ …”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to fetch some water to wash up, the courtyard door of Green Bamboo Residence was suddenly knocked.
”Is the Taoist friend in Green Bamboo Residence in the courtyard? We are disciples of the Fifth Peak of Green Mystery Sect. We have something to ask today.”
A girl’s pleasant voice sounded outside the door.
”Disciples of the Fifth Peak？”
Xu Taiping’s heart moved.
He remembered that the younger sister of that Liu Qingmei before, and the Lu Chen who killed her, were also disciples of the Fifth Peak.
“May I ask, is the daoist friend in Green Bamboo Residence in the courtyard？”
At this time, the girl asked again.
“Yes…”
“Bang！”
Xu Taiping had already almost walked to the front courtyard at this time. Just as he was about to respond, unexpectedly, the courtyard door was kicked open by someone.
The barrier of Green Bamboo Residence only prevents demonic creatures and not people.
“An outer sect casual cultivator, why be so polite to him？”
After the door was kicked open, a tall and slender, handsome young man walked in cursing.
“Oh, isn’t he in the courtyard？”
After seeing Xu Taiping standing in the center of the courtyard, the young man slightly raised his chin and glared at Xu Taiping with an arrogant look.
Xu Taiping didn’t speak, but just Quietly looked at the young man.
He wasn’t intimidated by the powerful aura fluctuation emitted by the young man, but recognized the young man’s face.
That’s right, this person was exactly the Fifth Peak disciple who killed Liu Qingmei, Lu Chen.
“Quickly say, why didn’t you say a word for a long time? Could it be that you were doing some shady business?”
Seeing that Xu Taiping didn’t speak, that Lu Chen immediately sneered and instead framed Xu Taiping.
“According to the rules of Qingxuan Sect, for unauthorized entry into someone else’s residence, an outer sect disciple will be expelled from the sect for the first time, and an inner sect disciple will be given a demerit and confined to the sect for three months.”
The disgust in Xu Taiping’s eyes towards that Lu Chen flashed by, and then he looked at him calmly.
“How dare you threaten me？ You, a mere outer sect unregistered disciple, actually dare to threaten me, Lu Chen？”
Lu Chen sneered, and burst out in his eyes.
“If you don’t withdraw from my courtyard immediately, I will report it upwards right now.”
Xu Taiping took out a communication talisman.
This was specially sent by someone from the Strong Wind Hall to show favor to Ninth Uncle after that meal.
“How dare you！”
Although that Lu Chen was still very tough-mouthed, from his flickering eyes, it could be seen that he was still very afraid of the rules of Qingxuan Sect.
One of the reasons why Xu Taiping was not afraid of this Lu Chen was that he knew that the rules of Qingxuan Sect were strict, especially for inner sect disciples. As long as the number of demerits for mistakes was large, they would definitely be expelled from the Fifth Peak.
“Brother Lu！”
At this time, the girl beside her pulled that Lu Chen back a little, and then said to Xu Taiping with a full face of apology：
“This little daoist friend, please don’t be angry. Brother Lu is just a little impatient and has no malicious intentions.”
Xu Taiping took a look at Lu Chen whose face was as cold as ice, and then looked at the extremely beautiful girl, and silently put away the message talisman.
Seeing that Xu Taiping’s expression eased, a hint of joy immediately appeared on the girl’s face, and she immediately continued：
“I will compensate for the money to repair this courtyard door in full, but before that, I have a question to ask little daoist friend.”
“What do you want to ask？”
Xu Taiping looked at the girl with a calm expression.
“I want to ask you, little daoist friend, whether you have seen a woman who is somewhat similar to me in this area within the past six months. She is a little taller than me and her hair is a little longer than mine…”
As the girl spoke, she gestured hard, trying to describe the appearance of the woman she was looking for.
“She probably looks like this. Have you seen her, little daoist friend？”
After the description, the girl looked at Xu Taiping with a look of great anxiety in her eyes.
And Lu Chen on the side, at this time, said nothing, but his gaze was fixed on Xu Taiping, as if he cared more about Xu Taiping’s answer than the girl.
“In the past six months, I have indeed met a woman.”
As Xu Taiping spoke, his gaze inadvertently glanced at Lu Chen beside the girl.
It was seen that after hearing this, a killing intent immediately appeared in Lu Chen’s eyes, and his hand even directly pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
