　　This evening.
　　Inside Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall.
　　Xu Taiping, Lu Rushuang, Seventh Princess Chu Tiancheng, County Princess Chu Xiaoxiao, Monk Chongde, and the Lu Yun siblings gathered together.
　　Originally, after Xu Taiping returned from the Golden Scale Hall, he wanted to go find County Princess Chu Xiaoxiao. Unexpectedly, the messaging jade slip suddenly received a long-lost message from Monk Chongde, asking him to come to the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall first.
　　So this group of people got together.
　　“So, just because that Confucian scholar Fan Zhixing divined a hexagram, and the hexagram image showed that I might become an obstacle to the Third Prince’s Golden Scale Tournament for the tripod, did the Second Princess Chu Yudie spend so much effort to find and arrest me？”
　　Even after listening to the complete account of Little Martial Aunt and the others, Xu Taiping still felt a bit incredible, feeling like it was just a disaster out of nowhere.
　　“That Fan Zhixing seems to have other purposes, but I’m not too clear.”
　　Little Martial Aunt Lu Rushuang shook her head and said.
　　“Second Sister was led astray by this old scholar. She was such a good person before, but now she acts cruelly and ruthlessly, as if she has become a different person.”
　　Chu Tiancheng said disappointedly.
　　“Actually, it’s not that your second sister has changed. It’s that you, little girl, haven’t changed at all. You don’t look like a member of the royal family at all.”
　　Little Shigu smiled and patted Chu Tiancheng’s head.
　　“That’s right, Your Highness Tiancheng, you’re still the same as when you were a child, not having changed at all.”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao forcefully nodded at this time.
　　Since childhood, she has had a lot of contact with the princes and princesses in the palace and watched them change from innocent looks to the current scheming and full of tricks.
　　So among them, Chu Tiancheng, who has not changed at all, has suddenly become an outlier.
“However, since Taiping you have entered the Golden Scale List, you will be protected by the Emperor Youyun. Even the royal family dare not take action against you during this period. You just need to prepare well for the first round of the competition in the next two days.”
　　Little Shigu Lu Rushuang instructed Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you for the reminder, Shigu. I will.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded seriously with a serious expression on his face.
　　Now that Shigu and the others have also been found, he can also prepare for the upcoming Golden Scale Association without any distractions.
　　“By the way, Big Brother Taiping, do you know who your opponent in the first round is？”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Xu Taiping at this time.
　　“I haven’t had time to look.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head.
　　Although he knew that the list of opponents had come out, because he was in a hurry to look for Little Shigu and the others, he didn’t have time to look carefully.
　　“It’s Qi Hao, the youngest son of the head of the Qi family. Because of his naturally good physique, he was taken up the mountain by the mountain master of Xuanhu Mountain as a closed-door disciple since childhood. It is said that he already has the strength to compete for the top 60 on the Golden Scale List.”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao explained to Xu Taiping.
　　Because her brother also has to participate in the Golden Scale Association, so she knows something about the disciples who participate in the Golden Scale Association this time, as long as they are from Youyun Tian.
　　“The Qi family？ Is it the Qi family that is one of the five great families in Southern Chu？”
　　Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
　　“That’s right！”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
　　“Could it be that Taiping you have ever come into contact with the Qi family？”
　　Little Shigu Lu Rushuang looked at Xu Taiping very curiously.
　　When Xu Taiping heard this, he smiled bitterly and thought to himself that it was more than just having come into contact with them. He almost killed their old ancestor.
　　But this can’t be blamed on him.
　　If it wasn’t for that old ancestor’s idea of his Kunlong Pagoda and setting up layer upon layer of ambushes to hunt him down, he wouldn’t have used a deadly hand.
　　Fortunately, from beginning to end, he never revealed his true appearance in front of the Qi family. The probability that the Qi family can recognize him is not too high.
　　“Not really, just heard people talk about it.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled awkwardly.
　　He finally decided to temporarily hide the enmity with the Qi family from everyone. After all, it also involved the secret of the Kunlong Pagoda. Without Sister Lingyue’s permission, it was not good for him to disclose it to Little Martial Aunt and the others.
　　“I have also heard of this Qi Hao. His master, the mountain lord of Xuanhu Mountain, is also a master of the Transcendent Realm. Taiping, you must be careful in dealing with him.”
Little Martial Aunt Lu Rushuang nodded, and then solemnly instructed ed Xu Taiping.
　　Although she knew that Xu Taiping had strength far beyond that of his peers, this time, every disciple who was eligible to participate in the Golden Scale Society was the same, and one must never be careless.
　　Moreover, she was also very clear that any victory of Xu Taiping was extremely important to Zhenwu Heaven, and might even change the fortune of Zhenwu Heaven in the next hundred years.
　　“Little Martial Aunt, please rest assured. Taiping will never slacken in the slightest.”
　　Xu Taiping once again assured Lu Rushuang.
　　“Brother Taiping, tomorrow I will send you a copy of the information about Qi Hao, so that you can make preparations in advance.”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao volunteered at this time.
　　“Thank you, Princess Xiaoxiao.”
　　Xu Taiping thanked Chu Xiaoxiao.
　　“You’re welcome. If it weren’t for Brother Taiping, our family might have already died in the great disaster in the imperial city seven years ago.”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao repeatedly waved her hand.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested and asked Xu Taiping about the situation of that great disaster on that day.
　　……
　　At almost the same time.
　　In the capital city, within the Qi family ancestral hall.
　　“Hao’er, this time you have drawn a good lot. Your opponent in the first round is just an unknown nobody from Zhenwu Heaven.”
　　The head of the Qi family, who was also Qi Hao’s father, heavily patted Qi Hao on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of excitement.
　　“Father, I have only one opponent, and that is the Third Prince, Chu Yinan.”
　　After offering incense to several ancestral tablets, Qi Hao, who was very tall, snorted disdainfully and then continued：
　　“Besides the Third Prince, I’m not interested in any other cultivator, and I will never let them survive under my fists for more than a cup of tea.”
　　Upon hearing this, the head of the Qi family laughed heartily and said：
　　“With your words, I can rest assured！”
　　If the opponents in the next two days were others, he might still persuade Qi Hao to be cautious, but that unknown nobody from True Martial Heaven, he really couldn’t find a reason to persuade Qi Hao.
