When Chu Xiaoxiao heard this, she proudly stretched out five fingers to Xu Taiping.
“Five thousand gold essence coins？”
“No, it’s fifty thousand！”
Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head excitedly.
When he heard this, Xu Taiping was also surprised.
He didn’t expect that he could earn so much from just one bet. Instantly, he felt that Chu Xiaoxiao’s abnormal behavior became reasonable.
“Taiping-gege, do you have confidence in the next match against that Mu Yun from Guangling Pavilion？”
Chu Xiaoxiao then leaned close to Xu Taiping again, while helping him massage his legs, and asked expectantly with a full gaze.
“Go away, don’t bother Big Brother Taiping！”
Before Xu Taiping could answer, Chu Tiancheng pulled her away and then started to calculate with her how to evenly divide the money just won.
“Taiping, you’ve worked hard.”
At this time, the little Shigu suddenly smiled and looked at Xu Taiping and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, and then smiled faintly and said：
“Thank you for Shigu’s concern. This match was okay, not too hard.”
Upon hearing this, the little Shigu shook her head and then said meaningfully：
“Shigu is not talking about this match. Shigu is talking about the seven years after you separated from us in the Blood Rain Forest.”
Just now, in that match, the purity of Xu Taiping’s qi and blood and true essence, as well as his understanding of the method far exceeded what they were when they met in the Blood Rain Forest seven years ago. So Lu Rushuang was sure that Xu Taiping must have had a difficult experience that was hard for ordinary people to imagine in the seven years since they parted.
After all, for the advancement of the martial arts path, relying solely on opportunity is not enough.
“That’s right, Senior Brother Taiping, after we parted in the Blood Rain Forest, where did you go in those seven years？”
At this time, the Seventh Princess Chu Tiancheng also looked at Xu Taiping curiously.
Actually, she had asked Xu Taiping this question a few days ago, but every time Xu Taiping prevaricated and she never got an accurate answer.
“Actually, these seven years weren’t as hard as you guys imagined.”
Xu Taiping sat down in the empty seat next to his little martial aunt, and then took out the Dragon-Trapping Tower from his arms and put it on the table and said: “Actually, in these seven years, I never left the Blood Rain Forest. I was hiding in this Dragon-Trapping Tower to cultivate.”
Upon hearing this, both Princess Qi and the little martial aunt were stunned.
Then they heard Princess Qi lower her voice and say in a tone full of surprise：
“Brother Taiping, it turns out that the Dragon-Trapping Tower is in your hands！”
The little martial aunt Lu Rushuang on the side suddenly realized and said：
“That means, the person who caused heavy casualties to the Qi Family’s old ancestor and a bunch of Qi Family disciples a few days ago was also you, Taiping？”
They simply didn’t know that Xu Taiping had the Dragon-Trapping Tower on him at that time so when the Qi family made a big fuss about arresting people in the Blood Rain Forest, they never thought that the person inside would be Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping didn’t deny it, but nodded and said：
“A long time ago, I got a bit of a Buddhist opportunity and was given a Meditation Seal, which can increase my cultivation speed by more than ten times. The Qi family didn’t expect my cultivation to improve so fast, and I caught them off guard.”
Upon hearing this, the people in this small attic all had a look of horror on their faces.
They didn’t expect that after parting ways with Xu Taiping, the other party had actually secluded himself in the Dragon-Trapping Tower for seven years to cultivate.
However, even though Xu Taiping spoke so lightly, the few people in their hearts still knew very well that to make the Qi Family’s old ancestor suffer such a setback, Xu Taiping must have paid an extremely high price.
“That’s not right. After you got rid of the Qi Family people, why didn’t you come to find us, Taiping senior brother？”
The Seventh Princess discovered another problem at this time.
“Sorry, this matter involves a secret, and I can’t say it for the time being.”
Xu Taiping said with a hint of apology.
Regarding the matter in Tianhai Town, according to Zhang Tianze’s instructions before leaving, it was best not to reveal it to the outside world during the Golden Scale Assembly, otherwise it might bring some unnecessary troubles to the Western Liang Kingdom and himself.
“This is originally your personal matter, Taiping. Why would there be an apology？”
The young martial aunt shook her head with a smile.
The Seventh Princess beside her also noticed that she had asked a bit too much at this time, and immediately apologized to Xu Taiping repeatedly.
“However, since you have the ability to escape from the Qi Family’s old ancestor, even with the help of the Blood Rain Forest restriction, it can at least prove that you have the qualification to compete for a place on the list in the Golden Scale Assembly.”
Lu Rushuang suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Previously, her expectations for Xu Taiping were not high because she was worried that Xu Taiping would fight to compete for a seat on the Golden Scale List. But since she already knows that Xu Taiping has the ability to escape from the hands of the Qi family’s old ancestor, she has nothing to fear.
”In that case, Brother Taiping also has a chance to defeat Mu Yun in the next round？”
Chu Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly shone with excitement as she looked at Xu Taiping again.
The huge profit is just now made her taste the sweetness. Now as long as Xu Taiping opens his mouth and says that he has the confidence to win, she may even dare to bet the palace.
”Princess Xiaoxiao, don’t be impulsive. I really don’t have much confidence in the next match against Mu Yun. If you want to buy, just buy that Mu Yun.”
Xu Taiping quickly waved his hand.
When Chu Tiancheng heard this, he pinched the pink cheek of his little cousin and then warned severely：
”It’s not easy for the emperor’s uncle to earn a family fortune. Don’t lose it all for him. Don’t bet anymore, you know？”
”Oh, got it…”
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded aggrievedly.
Compared to Chu Xiaoxiao, Chu Tiancheng is much more mature.
”Tiancheng is right. Xu Taiping’s next opponent, Mu Yun of Guangling Pavilion, is much more difficult to deal with than Qi Hao. You can see from his previous match with Bai Che.”
At this time, the expression of Lu Rushuang, the younger martial aunt, also became serious.
“I also saw it when I was waiting for my turn. He is indeed very strong, and Bai Che wasn’t able to make that Mu Yun go all out. It’s really hard to say how much chance of winning there is.”
Xu Taiping nodded seriously with a solemn expression.
“Although your martial aunt really wants to see you on the list, you still have to be prepared to lose.”
Lu Rushuang then instructed Xu Taiping seriously again.
The “preparation to lose” in her mouth was to remind Xu Taiping to know when to admit defeat and not to lose his life because of a seat.
“Younger martial aunt, I understand. My senior brothers and sisters are still waiting for me to go back and celebrate.”
Xu Taiping promised Lu Rushuang with a smile.
Hearing Xu Taiping’s answer like this, Lu Rushuang’s expression also relaxed.
As a martial aunt, there are not many places where she can help Xu Taiping. The only thing she can do is to ensure that he can return to Qingxuan Sect safely.
“In addition, for the next match, you have to watch carefully.”
Lu Rushuang suddenly looked at the Golden Scale Platform below again.
“What’s so special about this match？”
Xu Taiping asked in confusion.
“One of the cultivators in the upcoming competition is a rare martial arts and cultivation genius in the Western Liang Kingdom of Youyun Tian in nearly a hundred years. There was once a rumor that General Zhang Tianze of the Zhenhai Tower in Western Liang intended to accept her as a disciple, but because her bone structure was too astonishing, General Zhang Tianze was afraid that he couldn’t teach her well, so he personally sent her to the department of Bai Yulou the number one sword cultivator in Western Liang. Since then, there has been no news of her.”
Lu Rushuang explained to Xu Taiping.
“The person you mentioned, little martial aunt, could it be Zhang Moyan of Western Liang？”
Xu Taiping asked curiously.
In the list given by the Seventh Princess, he had seen some descriptions of this Zhang Moyan which were somewhat similar to what his little martial aunt said.
Lu Rushuang nodded upon hearing this and said：
If the rumors are correct, this Zhang Moyan should have the extremely rare sword bone in the world.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart trembled suddenly.
