Mortal Bones

It was noon.

In the largest dojo in the Shie Temple, the disciples waiting for the competition to begin had already surrounded the high platform in the middle of the dojo for the competition.

At this time, Xu Taiping, who was sitting on the flying sword, was also one of them.

After demonstrating the method of blood tempering to Lin Buyu in detail and telling him the tricks, Xu Taiping left the yard, leaving Lin Buyu alone to practice in the yard.

Although he could stay quietly to check Lin Buyu's practice progress, Xu Taiping felt it was unnecessary.

First of all, whether Lin Buyu could master the art of blood tempering or not, the final outcome of this competition would be the final outcome.

Secondly, because by dusk, the power of time in the Kunwu Sword would be exhausted. At that time, even if he did not take action, he would still be expelled by the long river of time and return to reality.

Therefore, in order not to waste this precious opportunity, Xu Taiping wanted to walk around in the Ten Evils Temple to see if he could figure out the true relationship between Junior Sister Buyu and Taihao Sect, and what time it was in the Shangqing Realm in this long river of time.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

After a morning of investigation, Xu Taiping finally figured out these two questions.

"Although most of them are the same as what Sister Lingyue and I guessed, if there is something, I still have to go back and confirm it with Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping looked at the empty platform and muttered to himself.

From what he found out, Lin Buyu and the current leader of Taihao Sect are most likely father and daughter.

But the leader of Taihao Sect has a very strange attitude towards Lin Buyu.

From the discussions of those people in the Ten Evils Temple, the leader of Taihao Sect not only has no affection for Lin Buyu, but also has some hatred.

As for the specific reason, those people in the Ten Evils Temple can't tell the reason. Some even speculated that Lin Buyu was not the biological daughter of the Taihao Sect Master, but the daughter of Lin Buyu's mother and the Taihao Sect Master's senior brother.

Because the answers he got were getting more and more absurd, Xu Taiping was too lazy to inquire anymore.

"Senior Sister Su!"

"Senior Sister, you must teach that little goblin a lesson today!"

At this moment, several harsh shouts suddenly interrupted Xu Taiping's thoughts.

Looking up, he saw a tall and strong female disciple surrounded by a group of disciples, slowly walking towards the competition platform.

Xu Taiping recognized this female disciple.

It was Su Muling, the person Lin Buyu was challenging today.

It was also the one who forced Lin Buyu to eat dog food yesterday.

Xu Taiping looked at the tall figure of Su Muling and murmured:

"Su Muling's physical strength and blood power are not inferior to those of male disciples of the same generation. No wonder she has such high prestige among these female disciples."

In a place like the Ten Evils Temple where fists are used to speak, whoever has the bigger fist is naturally right, and whoever has the bigger fist is popular.

As for character and morality, no one cares.

"Sister Su, teach that little vixen a lesson today. It's best to smash her face that is specially used to seduce men!"

At this time, a female disciple with lip balm on her mouth suggested to Su Muling with a bit of hatred in her voice.

"That's right, Sister Su, smash her face."

"That little vixen's face is disgusting to look at!"

The other female disciples laughed and agreed.

Xu Taiping frowned when he heard this.

As for why Lin Buyu was targeted by this group of female disciples, Xu Taiping had already learned something through his inquiries just now.

According to several Taoist temple abbots, when Lin Buyu first entered the Ten Evils Temple, apart from often losing in challenges, not many people targeted her.

It was not until "Lü Kuan", the male disciple who ranked first and had the most spiritual stones in the temple, repeatedly showed his affection to Lin Buyu, that many female disciples in the temple who were attracted to Lü Kuan began to target Lin Buyu.

Although the Ten Evils Temple strictly controls the disciples in the temple, it never restricts the affairs of men and women. As long as you have spiritual stones in your hands, you can even buy a yard in the temple to live together.

Even if you can save enough spiritual stones, you can bring your Taoist partner and leave the Ten Evils Temple together and return to Taihao Sect.

It is precisely because of this that many female disciples hope to form a Taoist partner with Lü Kuan and then leave the Ten Evils Temple together.

At first, although some female disciples were very hostile to Lin Buyu, they did not target him too much because of Lü Kuan.

During that time, there were fewer people who specifically challenged Lin Buyu.

But just a few days ago, as Lin Buyu publicly rejected Lu Kuan's request to form a Taoist couple with her, the female disciples who were originally jealous of Lin Buyu began to retaliate against her crazily.

What Xu Taiping saw yesterday.

It was just the tip of the iceberg of what Lin Buyu had to endure.

Sister Buyu had done nothing, but had to suffer this unprovoked disaster. This was what really made Xu Taiping angry.

"Bang!"

At this time, a dean of the Ten Evils Temple jumped up and landed on the stage.

Then he looked around with a hint of impatience on his face, and then said loudly:

"Lin Buyu, Su Muling, you two can go on stage"

Hearing this, Su Muling jumped up from where she was and landed on the stage amid the cheers of the female disciples.

Su Muling clasped her fists towards the dean and said:

"Su Muling, meet dean He!"

The abbot He nodded slightly to Su Muling, then looked towards the crowd to the west and said:

"Lin Buyu, stop dawdling, get on the stage!"

Xu Taiping heard the words and followed the abbot's gaze. He saw Lin Buyu constantly pushing away the female disciples blocking her way and moving forward with difficulty.

But even after hearing the abbot He's call, Lin Buyu still did not use her true energy to jump onto the stage like Su Muling did, but still walked towards the steps of the stage step by step.

For a while, there were ridicule and abuse all around.

Some laughed that Lin Buyu was too scared to step down, while others scolded her for deliberately delaying time.

But the first thing Xu Taiping thought of was that Lin Buyu was saving her true energy.

After confirming this, Xu Taiping murmured with admiration:

"At least in terms of attitude towards this competition, Junior Sister Buyu is better than Su Muling."

He also walked step by step from Kaimen Realm to Wangyou Realm, and knew how precious the little true energy that could be used in these two realms was.

So in the competitions in these two realms, every bit of true energy in the body must be treated with caution.

Amidst the laughter and ridicule, Lin Buyu finally walked onto the stage, clasped his fists to the abbot in front of him, and said:

"Lin Buyu, meet abbot He!"
