Mortal Bones

"Young man, good work."

The old man bent his back and hugged Xu Taiping.

He was only five feet tall, with only a few sparse white hairs on his head. If it hadn't been for the collision just now, it would be hard for Xu Taiping to imagine that this old man could unleash such tyrannical strength.

"Old man, you have such a strong body."

Xu Taiping also bowed his hands to the old man at this time.

"Where, where, just a handful of old bones."

The old man waved his hand with a smile, and then walked towards the two little children.

At the same time, Fairy Lingyue's voice also sounded in Xu Taiping's mind:

"The energy and blood in this old man's body has far surpassed that of an ordinary martial arts master, and he already has the aura of a martial arts supreme master."

Regarding the realm of martial arts, Xu Taiping once heard Fairy Lingyue mention it, which can be roughly divided into martial soldiers, military generals, martial arts masters, and martial arts masters. Among them, martial arts masters are martial arts masters, and martial arts masters are martial arts supremes.

According to Fairy Lingyue, the vast majority of martial artists remain at the realm of military commanders, and only a handful of extremely talented martial artists can break through to the realms of martial sects and martial masters.

Only by breaking through to the realm of martial masters can warriors truly compete with monks.

However, the world where Xu Taiping and the others were located suppressed martial arts cultivators too much, and martial arts masters were already at the extreme level. There were very few such as this old man.

"Could it be that this person..."

Xu Taiping thought of a name in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it.

"It's possible, but it's really that person. It's impossible for no one on this street to recognize him."

Fairy Lingyue responded.

"Little baby, don't cry, don't cry, come, come, come. Grandpa has some sweets here."

At this time, the old man had squatted in front of the two little dolls, and took out a handful of candies from his arms and distributed them to the two little dolls.

Xu Taiping noticed that in order to look at the two little children at eye level, the old man was kneeling on one knee when speaking, and he didn't care even if one leg was soaked in the rain.

"The real person?"

Xu Taiping had some doubts in his heart.

The old man in front of him didn't look like the demon who slaughtered nine cities and killed countless righteous soldiers of the White Tree Kingdom.

"Taoist Master Taiping."

At this moment, the sixth princess also came to Xu Taiping with the little monkey in her arms.

General Chu and Cao Qianhu followed closely behind him.

Xu Taiping nodded towards the Sixth Princess.

He observed the Sixth Princess's reaction to the old man. After discovering that the Sixth Princess didn't seem to recognize the old man, he secretly said in his heart: "Perhaps, this one is also here to challenge Fan Qi. I don't know for sure."

"Young man, would you like a drink?"

After handing the two babies to their mother, the old man stood up, looked at Xu Taiping, and said with a smile.

While speaking, he made a drinking gesture with his hands.

"Thank you for your kindness, old man. Tomorrow I will challenge Master Fan in a life-and-death contest. It is not appropriate to drink alcohol today."

Xu Taiping deliberately revealed his tomorrow's itinerary to the old man.

But what surprised him was that when the old man heard this, there was neither surprise nor anger in his eyes, only deep worry and regret.

"Young man, it's too early for you to enter the life-and-death contest at your age."

The old man persuaded Xu Taiping very tactfully.

After saying this, he waved his hands again and said:

"That's all, maybe I'm too old. We'll see you again if we have a chance."

After saying this, he walked towards the restaurant on the opposite street without looking back.

"Zui Xian Ju? I remember the palace intelligence said that the evil thief Fan Qi likes to eat the roast goose from Zui Xian Ju the most."

The sixth princess frowned and murmured.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned again, but immediately shook his head and said:

"Come on, Your Highness, there is such a big commotion, we should go back."

"Well, it's indeed time to go back."

Looking at the gradually increasing flow of people, the Sixth Princess also nodded warily.

"Your Highness, have you ever met Fan Qi?"

Xu Taiping asked the Sixth Princess as he walked.

"No."

The sixth princess shook her head.

"I have seen portraits, but they are all of his appearance when he was young. After he came to the Eagle Kingdom, he rarely showed his true face to others. He even wore a mask in the life and death competition, so there is no portrait of him today."

She said a little ashamed.

"What if the person standing in the life-and-death contest is not him?"

Xu Taiping asked.

"I once heard my mother say that as long as he stands in the ring of life and death, even if he doesn't show up, no one will question his identity, because no one can disguise his overwhelming murderous intent."

The sixth princess' last words were filled with hatred.

"This murderous intention was obtained with the lives of thousands of people in our White Tree Kingdom!"

She said bitterly.

The sixth princess's words made Xu Taiping doubt his own conclusion even more.

Because he didn't feel any killing intent from the old man just now.

Maybe it really is an illusion.

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.

…

Return to the inn.

"Fellow Taoist Taiping, I finally found you."

When they arrived at the door of the inn, Xu Taiping was about to go in when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

I turned around and saw that it wasn't the Xiaoyao oriole, or who it was?

"Fellow Taoist Huangque, you really live up to your name."

Xu Taiping smiled.

He didn't have any bad feelings towards this man.

"Master, please take the little monkey up."

Xu Taiping glanced at the sixth princess next to him who was dressed as a man.

"The little monkey will sleep at your place tonight."

he added.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, the sixth princess immediately nodded happily.

As if she was afraid that Xu Taiping would regret it, after nodding, she hugged Ping An tightly and ran to the inn, causing Bai Yu in the gourd to feel jealous again.

"Fellow Taoist Taiping, you haven't changed your mind yet?"

Huang Que looked at Xu Taiping and asked with a smile.

"Fellow Taoist Huangque, you look very idle? Can you stop staring at me all day long?"

Xu Taiping asked seriously.

In fact, he had already noticed that Huang Que was following him, but he didn't reveal it.

However, even if he knew that the other party was not hostile, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"If I don't stare at you, someone else will stare at you."

Jaune grinned.

Xu Taiping nodded helplessly when he heard this.

This is the truth.

"Fellow Daoist Huangque, please rest assured that I will never do anything that violates the Immortal Law of the Nine Prefectures tomorrow."

He said to Huang Que very seriously.

"This is what your second senior brother and I are most worried about."

Huang Que still said to Xu Taiping in a relaxed tone.

However, the content of his words shocked Xu Taiping, and then he said with a sudden look on his face:

"Fellow Huangque, do you know my second senior brother?"

Huang Que smiled and then made a silencing gesture.

"No matter what, taking care of your life always comes first. That's it. Take care of yourself."

After saying this, Huang Que waved his hand again, turned around and left.
