Mortal Bones

In the royal treasury of the Black Eagle Kingdom.

"This is it."

Xiang Nantian walked out of the pile of gold and silver holding a box.

"If I hadn't sensed Taiping's aura just now, I probably wouldn't have remembered that there was such a thing in this treasure house."

As he spoke, he thrust the box into Xu Taiping's hand.

"Yes, this is exactly the other half of the teleportation order."

Xu Taiping opened it and found that it was half a teleportation order. He couldn't help but said with surprise.

"With this half of the teleportation order, Taiping, your trip this time will be worthwhile."

Fairy Lingyue's voice also sounded in Xu Taiping's mind.

It seemed that she was afraid of the two people in front of her, so she had not spoken before.

"Senior Xiang, Senior Haitang, do you two really want to give this thing to me?"

Xu Taiping confirmed to the two of them.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"This thing is far from being able to repay Taiping your kindness for unblocking the seals for the two of us this time."

Haitang shook his head in shame.

"How about this."

Na Xiang Nantian thought about it seriously and then patted his head and said:

"My husband and I have always been solitary, but this time you will make an exception for Taiping. When someday, Taiping, you encounter trouble that is difficult to solve, I and my husband can be your guardians for a time. ”

After saying this, he used his inner strength to force a drop of blood from his fingertips, and then used the blood to draw a rune in the air.

"That's a good idea."

Haitang also nodded at this time and also drew a rune in the air with blood.

Xu Taiping was still a little unfamiliar with the word protector, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Taiping, the so-called protectors, once they form a seal with you, they will use their lives to protect your existence. The two people in front of you have extremely high cultivation. If you can let them be your protectors, even just once, it will be a huge deal." opportunity.”

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.

For Fairy Lingyue to comment like this shows the high level of cultivation of these two people.

Xu Taiping thought about it seriously, and then without any hesitation, he thanked the two of them and said:

"If you really encounter difficulties in the future, please ask Senior Haitang and Senior Xiang to help me."

Then he stretched out his palm and took the two talismans one by one.

"readily!"

Xiang Nantian smiled heartily when he saw this.

"My husband and I don't like to owe anyone any favors. It would be great if you can accept it."

Haitang also smiled at this time.

"By the way, during the period when I am pretending to be dead, if you go back to deliver your work, you will definitely be made things difficult for me, saying that I am dead and you failed to fulfill your agreement."

The thoughtful Haitang suddenly thought of a question.

She possesses all the memories of the Sixth Princess, and naturally remembers that Xu Taiping was entrusted by the sect to escort her this time.

"Then just treat this experience as a failure. It doesn't matter."

Xu Taiping was quite reasonable.

"How can this be done?"

Xiang Nantian shook his head after hearing this.

"Haitang, how about I go to Qingxuan Sect with Xiao Taiping? I will personally explain to the head of his family."

He asked Haitang beside him for instructions.

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but tremble.

"I'm afraid that his leader will come out before you even enter the mountain. Don't you know what the reputation of my husband and I is?"

Haitang glared at Xiang Nantian again.

Haitang, who was gentle and easy-going in front of Xu Taiping, looked like a tigress in front of Xiang Nantian.

"Hey, Ah Tang, I just want to talk about it."

Xiang Nantian smiled and scratched his head, looking at Haitang with eyes full of endearment.

"It really doesn't have to be so troublesome. This is just a training mission for me. If I can't complete it, there will be another time."

Xu Taiping spoke again at this time.

"no!"

"no!"

As soon as he said these words, they were rejected by the couple in unison.

Xu Taiping finally figured out that this couple was the kind of people who would definitely avenge any grudges and repay any kindness even to death.

"Taiping, do you have any talisman on you?"

Haitang suddenly asked Xu Taiping.

"There are only drawn talismans, not talisman paper."

Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Then give me any talisman."

Haitang reached out to Xu Taiping.

"good."

Although he didn't know what Haitang was going to do, Xu Taiping took out a burning lantern charm and handed it to Haitang.

After Haitang took the talisman, she put her index and middle fingers together in the shape of a sword, then moved up the talisman and directly erased the runes drawn on the talisman.

"I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who can do this."

Fairy Lingyue also sighed in admiration when she saw this scene.

"is it hard?"

Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

"It's not difficult, but unless you are particularly proficient in a talisman, it will be difficult to erase the talismans drawn by others so easily."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

"Come, let's give Qingxuanzong a message together."

After Haitang easily drew a talisman with her own blood, she raised her head and glanced at Xiang Nantian.

…

After a while.

"Taiping, take it."

After a fierce confrontation, Xiang Nantian and his wife solemnly handed the talisman containing the conversation between them to Xu Taiping's hands.

"Many...thank you very much."

Xu Taiping took the talisman and wiped the sweat from his forehead casually.

If possible, he didn't want the people of Qingxuan Sect to hear the words of the couple in this talisman.

"In addition, maybe you are not very clear about Taiping. Most of the monks in Jiufu regard my husband and I as aliens and enemies, so for your own good, try not to mention the two of us after returning to Qingxuan Sect, let alone help the two of us break the path. Regarding the seal, I just wanted to say that I was grateful for your kindness in escorting me, so I sent you this talisman after I woke up."

Haitang reminded Xu Taiping again at this time.

"Thank you, Sister Haitang. I have a sense of discretion in these matters."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"But in my eyes, Sister Haitang, you and Brother Xiang are not different. You are just acting according to your own conscience."

He then added.

This is not a compliment, but his reflections on what he has seen and heard in recent days.

Haitang and his wife looked at each other and smiled.

"Did you know? A long time ago, a sword cultivator said the same thing to our couple."

Xiang Nantian looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Could it be...Senior Brother Su Chan?"

Xu Taiping asked tentatively.

"That's right."

Haitang smiled and nodded.

This is not the first time that the two couples have mentioned Su Chan, which shows how important she is in the hearts of the two couples.

"It turns out that not only the disciples of Qingxuan Sect, but also the monks from other sects have never forgotten this senior brother."

Xu Taiping muttered to himself.

He also became more and more curious about what kind of person this Senior Brother Su Chan was.

Go back and ask Senior Brother Qingxiao.

While he was thinking this in his mind, he cast his eyes on the gold and silver treasures around him, and then asked the Haitang couple somewhat embarrassedly:

"Sister Haitang, Brother Xiang, can I take some of the gold and silver here?"

Xu Taiping wanted these gold and silver jewels, so of course he would take them back and use them as nutrients for the earth fruits.

When Xiang Nantian and his wife heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then nodded in unison:

"Take whatever you want!"

…

A few days later in the evening.

Lion slope.

After Xu Taiping burned the feather left by Elder Yunye to ashes, not long after, a crane chirped from the sky.

"boom!"

Soon, amidst the howling wind, Elder Yunye's huge body landed on the top of the Lion Slope, and then looked at Xu Taiping with his slightly cold eyes.

"Come up, it will be good if you can come back safely."

Elder Yunye nodded towards Xu Taiping, his tone was much softer than when they first met.

And Xu Taiping also heard the implication of Elder Yunye's words - it doesn't matter if the task is not completed.

In fact, it is normal to think so.

Because the Haitang couple's awakening was concealed by themselves, and with the couple's methods, if they wanted to conceal something, it would be difficult for even a monk at the head level to detect it, let alone an elder.

So now, except for Xu Taiping, no one knows about this at all. They all think that the Sixth Princess failed in the assassination, and the entire capital of Wujiu Kingdom is under martial law.

However, he did not argue, just nodded and said:

"Thank you, elder, for coming to greet me."

If he wanted to explain, he wanted to leave it until he went to the Hall of Merit to hand in the mission.
