　　”Do you think that I will really let myself lose my reputation and status for the sake of a mere Duan Xiaoyu？”
XuTaipingasked was cold.
　　”Won’t you？”
　　Mo　Yu　sneered.
　　”You seem to know me very well？”
　　Xu Taiping frowned. He heard a hint of strangeness from Mo Yu’s words.
　　And Mo Yu also seemed to notice this and quickly changed the topic and said：
　　“This young lady’s patience is limited. If you continue to evade the topic like this, I can have someone pluck out one of that little fish’s eyes first and then talk to you properly.”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t continue to infuriate Mo Yu but said in a serious tone：
　　“You don’t think that just because of a piece of Moon Shadow Stone, I will believe that Duan Xiaoyu is in your hands, do you？”
　　Upon hearing this, Mo Yu on the other end of the sound transmission jade slip giggled and said：
　　“Then otherwise, should I send someone to deliver one of her fingers to you？”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t waste words with her and directly put forward his request, saying：
“As far as I’m concerned, since I have already entered the top thirty of the Golden Scale List, it’s not unacceptable to exchange a victory or defeat for a life, but the premise is that this transaction is real and that I can see the alive Duan Xiaoyu after the competition.
　　Soon, the voice of Mo Yu on the other end of the sound transmission jade slip rang out again：
　　“Speak, what are your requirements？”
　　Xu Taiping seriously thought about it and said：
　　“I want to see Duan Xiaoyu once, and I also want to talk to you face to face.”
　　The other side was silent for a while. It was only after a long time that the voice of Mo Yu sounded again in the sound transmission jade slip：
　　“I won’t meet with you, nor will I let you see Duan Xiaoyu, but I can give you another piece of Moon Shadow Stone to prove that Duan Xiaoyu is in my hands.”
　　This time it was Xu Taiping’s turn to be silent.
　　And just as he was thinking about countermeasures, the voices of Bai Yu and Ping An rang out successively in his mind——
“Xu Taiping, there’s no need to face him directly. Even if she’s one or two li away, I can see her, but the premise is that I can sense her smell.
“Big brother, me too. As long as I sense her smell, even if she’s one or two li away, I can hear her heart.
　　During this time, Bai Yu’s Celestial Eye and Ping An’s Telepathy have both made great progress.
Xu Taiping, who had originally been thinking hard, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard their words and immediately had a countermeasure in his heart.
　　After thinking for a moment, he picked up the jade slip on the table and continued to transmit his voice, saying：
“First of all, I can not have a face-to-face talk with you, but we have to make an appointment at a place where I can sense your blood and know that I am making a deal with a living person.”
　　”Secondly, in order to prevent you from going back on your word, you have to write down the location of Duan Xiaoyu in advance and swear a blood oath when transmitting your voice to me to ensure that the location you wrote is correct.”
　　”As for how to ensure that I don’t see it before the competition, that’s something you have to consider.”
　　After saying this, Xu Taiping put the jade slip in his hand back on the table and waited quietly.
　　And after hearing that Xu Taiping was willing to give up the competition to save Duan Xiaoyu, everyone in the courtyard, including Lu Rushuang, was moved.
　　”Senior brother, don’t you consider it again？”
The Seventh Princess, Chu Tiancheng, asked Xu Taiping in a low voice, probing.
　　”No need.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Chu Tiancheng.
　　“Taiping, if you really think it’s worth it, your shigu will help you deal with the aftermath of the competition.”
　　Lu Rushuang looked at Xu Taiping seriously.
　　If Xu Taiping really agreed to Xuandao Sect, then after this competition, Xu Taiping would definitely face the investigation of Youyun Mansion and endless infamy. Someone had to help deal with this matter.
　　“Thank　you,　shigu！”
　　Xu Taiping nodded with a smile.
Because he didn’t have full confidence yet, and it was also related to the secrets of his Xintong Tianyantong, so he didn’t intend to tell his little shigu and the others about the plan.
　　And in fact, even if there was no countermeasure and no help from Bai Yu and Ping’an, as long as he was sure that Xiaoyu was in the hands of these people, he would still agree.
In his opinion, compared to the life of a friend, sacrificing some fortune and reputation was nothing.
“I’m starting to suspect that there is really someone beside Mo Yu who knows me very well, knowing that I can’t care about reputation and the opportunity to advance further on the Golden Scale List and still go to save Duan Xiaoyu.”
　　Xu Taiping said secretly in his heart.
　　In his opinion, finding the clues of this person might be more important than finding that Mo Yu.
　　“Here　it　comes.”
　　Just then, Chu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the table waiting, suddenly sat up and pointed to the glowing jade slip on the table.
　　Xu Taiping picked up the jade slip and injected true yuan into it——
　　“I can write down the current position of that small fish, and I can also swear a blood oath to ensure the truth of the written position, but I will never risk letting you sense my blood qi.”
　　Upon hearing this, several people from Western Zhou furrowed their brows.
　　“This person is a bit too cautious, isn’t he？”
　　The Seventh Princess, Chu Tiancheng, said angrily.
　　And Xu Taiping seemed to have expected this. Immediately, he took out that mass of soul fire of Mo Hai and wrapped it with a strand of Great Sun Golden Flame rising from his palm.
　　Then, in the midst of the shrill screams of Mo Hai’s primordial spirit, he transmitted his voice to Mo Yu and said：
　　“You, as an older sister, surely don’t want to see your younger brother’s soul suffer the pain of being burned by the true fire every day, do you？”
　　Soon, a hysterical shriek came from the sound transmission jade slip –
　　“Bastard！ I will tear you into ten thousand pieces！”
　　Xu Taiping’s expression remained calm. He didn’t say anything and just made the Great Sun Golden Flame in his palm even more intense.
　　For a moment, the shrill screams of Mo Hai’s primordial spirit, like the crying of a baby at night, became louder and louder.
　　Before long, the sound transmission jade slip lit up again, and at the same time, Mo Yu’s angry voice came from it –
　　“I can promise you, but don’t you think you can threaten me with my younger brother’s soul. In these seven years, I have lost far more than you can imagine！”
　　……
　　The　next　day.
　　In the capital city of Southern Chu, on Queyu Street, at the Liukeju Inn.
“I’ve arrived at this restaurant you mentioned. I’m alone. Shouldn’t you reveal your blood qi now?”
Xu Taiping his voice as he walked up the restaurant.
This restaurant was exactly the location Mo Yu had through her voice to him this morning and agreed upon.
　　Not long after, Mo Yu’s voice rang out in the sound-transmitting jade slip：
　　“Don’t be in a hurry. In Room 3 of the Celestial Character on the third floor of the Liukeju, I’ve prepared a big gift for you. After you’ve seen that gift, it won’t be too late for us to talk in detail.”
　　“Big gift？”
　　Xu Taiping furrowed his brows.
At the same time, the little monkey and Bai Yu also emerged from the gourd and stood on his left and right shoulders respectively.
　　“Xu Taiping, relax. As long as I can sense her blood qi, I will definitely be able to find her！”
　　Bai Yu transmitted her voice to Xu Taiping, vowing to guarantee.
　　“Me too.”
　　Ping An also nodded vigorously.
　　“Hmm.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and then strode up the steps and said：
　　“Let’s first see what she has placed on the third floor.”
