　　Xu Taiping looked over there and only then noticed that the matchup list had been pasted on it.
　　“Then at that time, I still ask Senior Brother Gongsun for more guidance.”
　　Xu Taiping cupped his hands towards that Gongsun Sheng with an unperturbed expression on his face.
　　He just regarded this as his opponent coming to greet him in advance.
　　“Guidance？”
　　Gongsun Sheng smiled, and then looked at Xu Taiping with a sarcastic expression on his face and said：
　　“Do you deserve it？”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned.
　　He didn’t quite understand why the Gongsun Sheng in front of him had such a strong hostility towards him.
　　“Do you know Lu Chen from the Five Peaks？”
　　That Gongsun Sheng asked again.
　　When he heard the name “Lu Chen”, Xu Taiping’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.
　　“I’ve heard of him, but I don’t know him.”
　　He replied.
　　“To tell you the truth, my former junior brother doesn’t like you very much. So just after the matchup list came out, he specifically came to ask me to beat you half to death during the competition later.”
　　Gongsun Sheng looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　When he heard that Lu Chen had a bad feeling towards him, Xu Taiping immediately thought of the Liu Qingmei and Liu Zijin sisters. But after thinking about it carefully, that Lu Chen should not be able to know that the person in the Red Maple Forest that day was himself.
Could it be that just because I talk back to him a few words that morning, he has held a grudge until now?
　　Xu Taiping guessed in his heart.
　　If that’s really the case, then this Lu Chen’s narrow-mindedness is truly unprecedented.
　　“Your meaning is to let me automatically withdraw from the competition now？”
　　Xu Taiping raised his eyes and looked at that Gongsun Sheng.
　　“If you know what’s good for you, that would be the best.”
　　That Gongsun Sheng sneered.
　　He finally showed his true colors.
　　Just now deliberately provoking was fake, threatening was real.
　　During the Dragon Gate Meeting, Xu Taiping’s two competitions, this Gongsun Sheng watched both. Although he admitted that he wasn’t afraid, the opponent’s fighting style extremely consumed the opponent’s true essence, and he didn’t want to affect the next competition because of Xu Taiping, so he thought of coming to threaten the other party in advance.
　　Even if the threat didn’t succeed, it could at least disrupt his state of mind.
“See you on the arena.”
Xu Taiping replied very simply, and after speaking, he even turned around and walked towards the edge of the ring.
　　This made that Gongsun Sheng a little surprised.
“Kid,don’tbe punished for not toasting…”
　　“Boom！”
　　That Gongsun Sheng just wanted to step forward to stop Xu Taiping, but unexpectedly, several breaking wind sounds suddenly rang out above his head, and then several figures landed in front of Xu Taiping one after another.
　　“Little Taiping！”
　　Among the figures, a girl in red quickly stepped forward and ran towards Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise： “Sister Linglong！”
　　”Taiping.”
　　”Little Taiping, long time no see.”
　　At this time, Qingxiao and Ziyan also walked up to Xu Taiping.
　　”Brother Qingxiao, Sister Ziyan！”
　　Xu Taiping greeted the two very happily.
　　He originally thought that Linglong and the others had forgotten him, but he didn’t expect them to come to greet him in person today.
　　”Taiping, don’t lose to these wastes.”
　　Lin Buyu also walked up to Xu Taiping at this time, and while speaking, he turned his head and looked at Gongsun Sheng.
　　”What do you mean？”
　　Gongsun Sheng was just about to get angry when he saw Dugu Qingxiao flash in front of him.
　　”Gongsun Sheng, you piece of trash, have you fallen to the point where you have to rely on threatening an outer sect disciple to win？”
　　Qingxiao stared coldly at Gongsun Sheng and said.
　　While speaking, his thick coercion was like a fierce fist, hitting Gongsun Sheng’s chest heavily.
　　”Hmph.”
　　Gongsun Sheng snorted coldly, and then gave Xu Taiping a fierce look and said：
　　”See you on the ring！”
　　After saying this, he turned around and left without looking back.
　　”Senior Brother Qingxiao, you shouldn’t have angered that Gongsun Sheng at this time. This is not good for Taiping.”
　　Ziyan said with some worry.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t expect that not only did Senior Sister Ziyan and the others come down to greet him in person, but they were also concerned about his competition.
　　This long-lost feeling of being missed by others made him feel inexplicably warm in his heart.
　　“Senior Sister Ziyan, you don’t have to worry.” He shook his head at Ziyan with a smile and then said, “I won’t lose to that Gongsun Sheng.”
　　“The competition will start immediately. Please ask the irrelevant people to leave quickly.”
　　Just then, the voice of the supervisor, with the help of the sound transmission talisman, rang out in the sky above Zhenjianping once again.
　　“Little Taiping, remember, don’t push yourself too hard in the competition later. Even if you can’t win in the Seven Peaks Conference, we will try to get you to the Seventh Peak this time.”
　　Seeing that the supervisor was walking towards this side, Zhao Linglong quickly reminded Xu Taiping in a very fast speed.
　　And this sentence was also the main purpose for which she came down to see Xu Taiping specifically.
　　Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this.
　　Actually, during this period of time, people from various peaks had shown kindness to him through the Xifeng Pavilion more than once. But no matter what conditions they offered, they couldn’t compare to the promise that Zhao Linglong made to him today.
　　“No.”
　　To the surprise of Zhao Linglong and the others, Xu Taiping suddenly shook his head at them with a smile.
　　“No？”
　　When they heard this, Zhao Linglong, Qingxiao and the others were all stunned.
　　“I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to Senior Sister Linglong and you, win the Seven Peaks Selection, and become an official disciple of the Seventh Peak.”
　　Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Linglong with a serious expression.
　　Hearing this, Zhao Linglong and the others stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.
　　“You guys, leave quickly. The competition is about to start here！”
At this time, an examiner came behind them and sternly scolded them.
　　“I’m waiting for you, Little Junior Brother.”
　　Qing Xiao smiled and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder, then pulled up Zhao Linglong and left with the sword breaking through the air.
　　“I just said it casually back then, telling him to practice hard and participate in the Seven Peaks Selection three years later. I didn’t expect him to remember it until now.”
　　On the flying sword, Zhao Linglong looked back at the young person behind her and murmured with emotion in her mouth.
　　“With this kind of determination, even if he can’t become a cultivator, he will surely achieve something in the future.”
　　Zi Yan also evaluated Xu Taiping seriously at this time.
Before, she didn’t actually think highly of Xu Taiping. After all, he was just a white bone. The reason she paid attention to him was more because of Qing Xiao and Zhao Linglong. But at this moment, the determined look of Xu Taiping just now made her understand why after three years Qing Xiao and Zhao Linglong still couldn’t forget this young person .
　　……
　　“The first match, Xu Taiping vs. Gongsun Sheng！”
　　A moment later, Xu Taiping and Gongsun Sheng stepped onto the arena one after another, and the supervisor on the arena read out their names again with a sound transmission talisman.
　　“Don’t think that just because you have Dugu Qingxiao as your backer, I don’t dare to kill you. You will regret not withdrawing from the competition in advance.”
　　Gongsun Sheng on the arena rubbed his fists, stretched his muscles, and looked at Xu Taiping with a cold gaze.
　　His threat not only failed but also suffered humiliation, which made him extremely unhappy.
