　　“I haven’t seen him in seven years. I wonder if Taiping’s appearance has changed.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao also sat down at the stone table at this time, and the gaze looking at the spiritual mirror on the table was full of anticipation.
　　Lin Buyu also sat over.
　　At this time, she put away the book in her hand, sat there quietly, and silently looked at the spiritual mirror on the table.
　　“Hoo…”
　　Zhao Linglong suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and then smiled with great emotion and said：
Ten years ago, it was also here. At that time, we were still worried whether Taiping could go up the mountain. Unexpectedly, now he has gone to Youyun Heaven and fought on the Golden Scale Platform.”
　　After hearing this, several people also recalled the scene of watching Xu Taiping participate in the Seven Peaks selection ten years ago.
　　“So, regardless of the outcome, as long as Taiping can stand on the Golden Scale Platform, it is a matter worthy of our celebration.”
　　Xu Ziyan smiled and gently patted Zhao Linglong on the shoulder.
　　“Hmm.”
　　Zhao Linglong’s expression completely relaxed.
　　It was at this moment that the white-robed deacon of Youyun Mansion standing on the Golden Scale Platform in the spirit mirror finally finished reading out the long competition rules.
At the same time, the wall is formed by the sword qi once again divided the Golden Scale Platform into two halves.
　　With two “swish” sounds, two figures flew towards the two sides of the Golden Scale Platform respectively, bringing with them the sound of breaking through the air.
　　However, because the viewing angle was too high, even though the spirit mirror had been enlarged to a diameter of seven or eight feet, it was still impossible to clearly see the specific appearance and figure of these two people.
　　“Second senior brother, get closer.”
　　Zhao Linglong urged Du Gu Qingxiao beside her a little anxiously.
　　“I’ll give it a try.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao nodded, and then quickly formed a seal to control the scene in the bronze mirror, approaching the two figures little by little.
　　Because the size of the spirit mirror was limited, the Golden Scale Platform was too large, and the two people were too far away. To clearly see their specific appearance, the picture had to be enlarged one by one.
　　Finally, Du Gu Qingxiao chose to first see who the person on the west side of the Golden Scale Platform was.
When the scene in the spirit mirror was enlarged little by little, everyone only saw a young man with an extremely burly figure, wearing a brown leather armor standing there with a pitch-black ax in his hand.
　　Looking carefully at the youth’s appearance, he had a square face, big ears, thick eyebrows, and the look in his eyes was like that of a wild beast that hadn’t eaten for a long time.
　　“This　isn’t　Taiping.”
　　Zhao Linglong was extremely certain.
　　“This should be Taiping’s opponent in this match, Qi Hao.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao nodded and simultaneously furrowed his brows and said：
　　“Just looking at his physique, this person is at least in the Martial Saint Realm. The black great axe in his hand faintly exudes an ancient charm and is very likely an immortal weapon from ancient times.”
　　Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts tightened again.
　　Not only did he have the physique of a Martial Saint Realm, but he also mastered an ancient immortal weapon. They couldn’t help but start to worry about Little Junior Brother’s upcoming match.
　　And as Du Gu Qingxiao spoke, he once again formed a spell to make the spiritual mirror turn the image in the mirror to the east of the Golden Scale Platform and enlarged it little by little.
　　Finally, a familiar figure appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
　　“It’s Taiping！”
　　“Little Junior Brother’s appearance hasn’t changed much. He just looks a bit thinner and taller, and his body is more slender！”
　　“The dao robe that Little Junior Brother is wearing is actually still the one he wore when he first entered the Qingxuan Sect…”
　　The disciples of the seven peaks first talked a lot, but when they saw the somewhat shabby dao robe on Xu Taiping, their noses felt inexplicably sour one by one.
　　“Whether he wins or loses, when Little Junior Brother comes back, we must celebrate for him.”
　　“That’s right. As long as he can come back safe and sound.”
　　After really seeing Xu Taiping, the crowd suddenly threw aside their desire to win or lose in their hearts, and only hoped that he could come back safely.
　　As for how many rounds he can win in the Golden Scale Meeting, that’s not important.
　　Of course, not everyone thought so.
　　……
　　“Brother Taiping, sister has bet all her net worth on you. You must win this round！”
　　In Youyun Heaven, on the stands of the Golden Scale Terrace.
　　After receiving the message from her subordinates and learning that all her savings over the years had been bet on Xu Taiping to win, Chu Xiaoxiao became extremely excited all of a sudden.
　　“Xiaoxiao, what are you whispering about alone？”
　　The Seventh Princess sitting next to her put her arm around her shoulder and asked in surprise.
　　“Your Highness, I, I am asking the Buddha to bless Brother Taiping to win！”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly.
　　Naturally, she wouldn’t tell the Seventh Princess about betting on Xu Taiping. Otherwise, if her mother found out by accident, she would be grounded for half a year again.
　　“What’s the use of asking the Buddha？ They don’t care about our Youyun Heaven. Let’s ask the Youyun Great Emperor.”
　　Chu Tiancheng refuted Chu Xiaoxiao and then also put his hands together and whispered：
　　“Great Emperor, Great Emperor, this little girl is willing to be a vegetarian for ten years in exchange for Brother Taiping’s victory.”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned at first, and then said with a mournful face：
　　“Your Highness, can we change the condition with the Great Emperor？ Being a vegetarian for ten years is worse than killing me.”
　　Chu Tiancheng smiled mischievously at first, and then said with a serious expression：
“Qi Hao has already had the physique of a Martial Ancestor Realm at the age of eight. He also has the Xunmu strange bone in the Golden Spirit Bone and has been apprenticed and cultivated in Xuanhu Mountain for many years. The chance of Brother Taiping winning this battle is extremely small, extremely small.
　　Now that she is already in the Divine Refinement Realm, her vision and perception are much higher than those of Chu Xiaoxiao.
　　“Manager Lu, do you also think so？”
　　Chu Xiaoxiao turned her head nervously to look at Lu Rushuang.
　　Lu Rushuang nodded, and then turned to look at Chu Xiaoxiao and said：
　　“You probably don’t know, right？ Taiping’s bone marrow is the most ordinary White Spirit Bone. It’s not easy to cultivate to the Divine Refinement Realm with this kind of spirit bone.”
　　Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao’s heart trembled, and she secretly thought：
　　“White… White Spirit Bone？！”
　　But immediately, she said again without giving up：
　　“Even if his cultivation talent is not as good as that of Qi Hao, his martial arts talent should always be stronger than Qi Hao’s, right？”
　　She has seen the power of Xu Taiping’s fist techniques.
　　“Indeed, Taiping’s greatest advantage is his physique that can rival that of a Martial Saint Realm cultivator.”
