Mortal Bones

"Junior brother, did you still miss it after all?"

After waiting for a while, looking at the still empty Jianping below, Dugu Qingxiao in the stands said with regret.

All the Qingxuan Sect disciples in the same stand also had regretful expressions on their faces.

Since that Golden Scale Society, at least 50% of the disciples who came to Qingxuan to become disciples had followed Xu Taiping after hearing about his deeds.

It can be said that among this generation of Qingxuan Sect disciples, Xu Taiping is like Zeng Jin Su Chan.

So when they heard that Xu Taiping's name was still on the list of monks who wanted to learn swordsmanship, almost all the disciples from all the peaks of Qingxuan Sect who came to observe the sword master meeting came to the viewing platform.

Among this group of disciples, the girl in white sitting next to Dugu Qingxiao looked the most nervous.

When she saw that Xu Taiping still didn't show up, she suddenly couldn't help but ask Dugu Qingxiao beside her:

"Master, is my junior uncle really okay?"

Although this girl in white is extremely beautiful, there is always a strong look of cowardice in her eyebrows.

Hearing this, Dugu Qingxiao turned his head and glanced sideways.

The girl immediately lowered her head, twisting her clothes with her hands, not daring to look at Dugu Qingxiao.

Seeing this, Dugu Qingxiao, who usually had a face of ice, tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said:

"A-Zhu, don't worry. As long as your Uncle Taiping's name can appear on the sword leader list, it means that his life is not in danger."

Although Dugu Qingxiao and the others did not deliberately conceal this matter, they also did not inform the disciples in the sect with great fanfare, so not many people knew about it.

When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and then she widened her eyes and said:

"Master, do you really mean what you say?"

But after she asked this question, she seemed to feel that her question was a bit stupid, and immediately lowered her head timidly.

Seeing this, Dugu Qingxiao said helplessly:

"Liang Zhu, raise your head."

When the girl heard this, she immediately raised her head in fear and looked at Dugu Qingxiao with a confused look on her face.

Dugu Qingxiao glanced at the girl in front of him, sighed and said:

"Liang Zhu, don't always bow your head and hunch your back when you speak."

When the girl heard this, her face became even more frightened, and she immediately said with a trembling voice:

"Teacher, Master, I know I was wrong..."

Dugu Qingxiao didn't say anything, just nodded and told her to do well, and at the same time sighed in his heart and said:

"Obviously she was once a princess of a country, and her qualifications were not bad, but because of a disaster, she was frightened and turned into the timid and cowardly person she is now."

"But little girl, her character has not changed. She has been grateful for my junior brother's kindness until now."

This young girl, Liang Zhu, was the only survivor of the Daliang royal family during the massacre in Daliang.

His original name was Liang Yunxiang, but he changed his name to Liang Zhu after being accepted as his apprentice by Dugu Qingxiao.

If Xu Taiping hadn't killed the two arsonists in front of him and restored her clarity of mind, I'm afraid she would still look that stupid to this day.

"Master."

"Headmaster."

At this moment, leader Zhao Qian suddenly led several leaders, including Meng Qingqiu, down to the stand from the wing upstairs.

All the disciples, including Dugu Qingxiao, immediately stood up.

Zhao Qian waved his hand and said:

"Everyone, take a seat."

With that said, he walked straight to the empty seat next to Dugu Qingxiao and sat down with Meng Qingqiu and other peak masters.

Dugu Qingxiao immediately asked Zhao Qian in a low voice:

"Master, how is your junior sister's injury today?"

Zhao Linglong's injury had damaged her fundamentals, so the injuries on her body could worsen at any time before she recovered.

The reason why Zhao Qian arrived now was actually to control Zhao Linglong's injuries with several peak masters.

Zhao Qian nodded and said:

"Today is indeed better than yesterday."

Dugu Qingxiao nodded, and then asked:

"What about junior brother?"

Zhao Qian has not come for a long time. Apart from taking care of Zhao Linglong's injury, he is waiting in the inn for Xu Taiping to get the sword order.

Zhao Qian said nothing, just reached out and took out a sword-asking order from his sleeve, and then placed it gently on the table.

After seeing this sword-asking order, Dugu Qingxiao's heart sank.

Wen Jian Ling is still here with the leader, which means that his junior brother is still not here.

Dugu Qingxiao smiled bitterly and said:

"Sure enough, even if your luck is as deep as your junior brother's, you still can't get the blessings of the gods all the time."

At this moment, Fu Yuan, the elder guarding the mountain at Tianzhu Peak, suddenly called out loudly again:

"I dare to ask, Qingxuanzong, Xu Taiping, have you ever had a dojo?"

As soon as this statement came out, the discussion that had once again appeared in the surrounding stands suddenly stopped again.

Although many people had already concluded in their hearts that it was impossible for Xu Taiping to make it to Jianping, when the voice sounded, everyone could not help but feel a sense of expectation.

A group of Qingxuan Sect disciples stretched their necks and looked at Jianping below without blinking.

Unfortunately.

Xu Taiping still didn't show up.

After a while, Elder Fu Yuan from Shoushan said again:

"Since little brother Taiping cannot be here today, we have no choice but to remove him from the list of sword leaders."

It could be heard from his tone that Fu Yuan, the elder of the Jiufu Mountain Guard, also felt very sorry that Xu Taiping could not be present.

"Rumble..."

As soon as Fu Yuan finished speaking, the Sword Champions List above Jianping suddenly unfolded, and the rankings of the thirty Sword-asking monks were displayed.
