Hearing this, Huangque helplessly shook his head and said：
“If you are an ordinary mortal, what am I, Huangque？”
Obviously, in his opinion, the so-called ordinary mortal in Xu Taiping’s mouth was just self-effacement.
Little did he know that the youth in front of him who had been chosen by Youyun Mansion was indeed an ordinary mortal bone.
Xu Taiping didn’t explain.
“But what can you do when you go back？”
Huang Que asked in confusion.
“Brother Huang Que, you also said that even the Master of Qingxuan Sect has to act according to the rules. I didn’t break the rules, so he can’t kill me.”
“If I can help the Seventh Peak win the top of the Seven Peaks under these rules, the Master must accept the sword challenge from the disciples of the Seventh Peak.”
“If the disciples of the Seventh Peak can win in the sword challenge, the Master must step down.”
Xu Taiping clearly explained his intentions to Huang Que.
“What you said, if it can be successful, your Qingxuan Sect can indeed be stable for a long time, but these are all the best situations.”
Huang Que still had a frown on his face.
“But if you don’t fight, there won’t be any best situation. Second Senior Brother knew this, so even though Duolongyuan was so dangerous, he still went in without hesitation.”
Xu Taiping said very seriously.
Putting aside some unpleasant things, Qingxuan was actually like a second home to him.
There were Senior Sister Linglong, Second Senior Brother, Buyu, Senior Sister Ziyan, and San San Jushi who had taught him swordsmanship for three years.
Now, this home was about to be torn apart. Although it was the wisest choice to be alone and stay out of trouble, he couldn’t pass the test in his heart.
The original purpose of his seeking immortality was just to cure his grandfather’s illness.
Because as long as his grandfather was there, even if there was only that drafty thatched hut left, he still counted as a person with a home.
Now that he has embarked on the path of cultivation and has a glimmer of possibility to support this second home, how could he just give up like this？
Everyone says that on the path of cultivation, one must be heartless and forget righteousness to go further. but he, Xu Taiping, is just an ordinary mortal and doesn’t understand these great principles.
He just doesn’t want to forget love.
He just doesn’t want to sever righteousness.
“Have you thought it through？”
The Yellow Finch looked at Xu Taiping with a serious expression.
“Thought it through.”
Xu Taiping nodded very seriously.
“Then I will no longer stop you. I only hope that you can survive this turmoil in Qingxuan. Otherwise, this will be the greatest loss in the True Martial Heaven in five hundred years.”
The Yellow Finch heaved a heavy sigh.
“If I don’t return to Qingxuan, it will be the most regrettable thing in my life.”
Xu Taiping said in his heart.
……
Qingxuan Sect.
Mu Gu Shan, Qi Yue Xuan.
lingering at the door of Qi Yue Xuan for a long time Zhao Linglong finally walked slowly to the courtyard gate and gently knocked on the door.
No one answered.
She knocked again.
No one answered.
In an instant, Zhao Linglong’s expression became a little broken down.
“Little junior brother, open the door.”
“Senior Sister has a whole lot of things to talk to you about.”
“In the past, only you and Second Senior Brother never minded my chit-chatting. You were both willing to listen patiently to whatever I said.”
Zhao Linglong leaned her forehead against the courtyard gate and whispered softly.
How she wished to return to the days of the past.
As long as she knocked on the door, the footsteps of her junior brother would be heard from within the courtyard, opening the courtyard gate for her, and then taking out delicious pastries and fruits, patiently listening to her chit-chatting.
“Now that Second Senior Brother is gone, and you are also gone…”
“Junior Brother, I saw that Moon Shadow Stone.”
“They all say you are crazy.”
“But only the senior and junior brothers of our Seventh Peak know that to force a junior brother as gentle-tempered as you into madness, the situation you and the senior brother were in at that time must have been extremely dangerous.”
“I wish I could tear the mouths of those people.”
“Even if the whole world goes crazy, my junior brother will never go crazy！”
When she said this, Zhao Linglong raised her head, wiped the tears on her face forcefully, and her eyes became firm again as she said：
“Junior Brother, whether you and Second Senior Brother can come back or not. This time, Senior Sister will definitely, together with the other senior and junior sisters and brothers, win the first place among the Seven Peaks and ask the Sect Leader for a sword fight.”
“I know, we have no chance of winning.”
“But I, as your senior sister, will definitely fight for justice for you and senior brother in front of the whole world. Even if I can only thrust one sword at him, or even just ask him one question.”
After saying these words, Zhao Linglong let out a long sigh of relief, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down.
It was the first time she had said so many words in three years of seclusion.
“Tomorrow is the first match of the Seven Peaks Competition. There must be no mistakes.”
While thinking this way, she took a step and prepared to leave Qiyue Xuan.
“Sou, sou, sou！”
Before Zhao Linglong could step onto the Rainbow Bridge, several figures suddenly arrived on swords, breaking through the air and landing on the open ground in front of Qiyue Xuan.
“Yo, isn’t this Senior Sister Linglong？”
A young man recognized Zhao Linglong.
This young man had a long face and a frivolous expression. Judging from the patterns embroidered on his robe, he should be a disciple of the First Peak.
“He Jun? What are you doing here at Qiyue Xuan?”
Zhao Linglong also recognized the young man at this time.
“Naturally, I came to see my new Dojo .”
He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong with a frivolous smile and said.
“When did this place become your Dojo ？”
Zhao Linglong frowned.
“Haven’t you heard yet, Senior Sister？”
He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong in surprise.
“Heard what？”
Zhao Linglong looked at He Jun in confusion.
“According to the rules of the sect, if a peak has no peak master for a long time, the affairs within that peak will be handed over to the peak master of the first peak for management, until the next peak master is selected after seventy years at the earliest.”
“Now that the peak master of the seventh peak has been imprisoned, the affairs within the peak will naturally be handed over to the first peak for management.”
“A few days ago, our peak master has already said that the Qiyue Xuan and Youxuan Ju in the seventh peak have been idle for a long time. and we can choose them as our own dojos.”
He Jun looked at Zhao Linglong with a smile.
After hearing what He Jun said, Zhao Linglong only said one word：
“Get lost！”
“Senior Sister, you entered the sect earlier than me, and I should respect you, but the premise is that you have to abide by the rules of the sect.
He Jun said with a fake smile.
“Your peak master can only take over the seventh peak after this Seven Peaks Grand Competition, and my second senior brother and junior brother will definitely come back before that.”
Zhao Linglong looked coldly at He Jun.
