Chapter 83 Wulaotan, the persistent Senior Sister Jiang Zhi
"Why are these guys talking so loudly like that woman on the street? Don't be sad, Taiping. Just try your best in the competition tomorrow."
Lao Ba glared at those people who were talking nonsense, and then comforted Xu Taiping.
Wu Liang is a typical coward at home and a bully at the outside. He was honest and honest when he was at Qifeng. Once he left Qifeng, he was like the honey badger. Whoever messed with him would bite him until he let go.
If Xu Taiping hadn't been here, I would have gone up to argue with those disciples right now.
"Thank you, Eighth Senior Brother, I won't care about these words."
Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.
This level of ridicule had been heard too much both during the years when he was an outer disciple and when he was still in the secular world, and it no longer had any impact on him.
The only way to shut their mouths is to use your performance to leave them speechless.
"By the way, the topic of tomorrow's session is Hanging Object Engraving, right?"
Xu Taiping asked Lao Ba.
"Yeah." Lao Ba nodded, and then explained to Xu Taiping:
"Hang the ballast iron on the flying sword, and then carve the complete Qingxuan Qilu on the cliff. You can challenge different weights. In the end, the heavier the ballast iron hanging on the flying sword, the winner will be the one who wins.
"
Xu Taiping nodded.
It is not difficult for him to carve words on the sword, but hanging the ballast iron below is something he has never tried.
"Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother!"
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw the senior sister, Qing Xiao and the others.
"Eighth Junior Brother, Ninth Junior Brother."
"Go back, today's competition is over."
Having just lost the competition, it was another disastrous defeat. Senior sister Jiang Zhi and second senior brother Qing Xiao were not in a very high mood. They reluctantly smiled at them and nodded.
Not only them, but Zhao Linglong, who has always been very optimistic, also looked depressed.
"Sister, drink some water."
Xu Taiping handed a water bag that had been prepared long ago to Zhao Linglong.
Zhao Linglong took the water bag and drank a few gulps, then stamped her feet vigorously and said:
"Just a little bit different!"
After hearing this, the senior sister reached out and patted Linglong's head, smiled and comforted:
"Linglong, you performed very well this time. It was my eldest sister who held you back."
At this time, Jiang Zhi looked pale, which was obviously a sign of the recurrence of the old disease.
"Sister, how can I blame you?"
Zhao Linglong hugged Jiang Zhi's arm with a distressed look on her face, then curled her lips and said:
"Senior sister, you should be able to rest and recover from your injuries. If we hadn't been useless, there would be no need for you to play with your injuries."
"I don't care..."
Jiang Zhi gently patted the back of Zhao Linglong's hand.
"Senior sister, you don't want to go up tomorrow, let the eighth junior brother do it."
Qing Xiao, who was walking in the front, also turned around and looked at Jiang Zhi with concern.
"Your senior sister and I have not reached that point yet. At least in this fourth competition, I will definitely win it for Qifeng."
Jiang Zhi shook her head stubbornly.
When Xu Taiping heard this, he suddenly felt confused and thought to himself, why is the senior sister so obsessed with the outcome of this competition?
"Senior sister, if we fail to win in this competition, will there be any punishment?"
He tentatively asked Zhao Linglong
The soul sent a message and expressed the confusion in his heart.
Zhao Linglong was silent for a while, and then she sent a message to Xu Taiping:
"If we don't win, Qingxuan Sect will take back many fairy fields and medicine gardens in Seventh Peak. In the next six years, the sect's expenses will become stretched. And these things in Seventh Peak are managed by senior sister. She
I don’t want to see everyone scrimping on food and clothing, so I must participate in this competition.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
The senior sister actually plays the role of housekeeper in Qifeng, and she manages all expenses within the peak.
If Qifeng loses a few fairy fields and medicine gardens, she, as a housekeeper, will naturally be unable to make a meal without rice, and the elixirs and medicinal materials for the disciples in the peak will be reduced.
Not everyone is like Xu Taiping, who has treasures such as gentian wine. The supply of elixirs within the sect directly affects their cultivation progress.
"correct."
At this moment, Senior Sister Jiang Zhi suddenly turned her head to look at everyone again.
"You must have heard about Wufeng Lu Chen's murder, right?"
she asked everyone.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still nodded along with everyone and said:
"heard."
The news of Lu Chen's murder had already spread in Qingxuan Sect yesterday afternoon, and all the disciples from all branches were questioned by Qilu Hall without exception.
Xu Taiping is no exception.
However, he had perfect alibi, and after asking a few casual questions, the people from the Qilu Division let him go.
"I received news from people from Qilu Hall this morning, saying that Lu Chen's death is most likely related to the red-haired sword ghost. In addition, the fourth junior brother was also injured by the red-haired sword ghost before. We now suspect the red-haired sword ghost.
You have indeed woken up, you, please do not go out until the darkness ends these days."
Jiang Zhi reminded everyone while walking.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself that the last arrangement seemed to be working.
"This time I can only give you a hard time, Brother Dao Gui."
He teased in his heart.
"Taiping, you have been practicing your sword for the past few days and try to go back as early as possible. If it doesn't work, I will ask the peak master to say hello to Elder Sansan."
Qingxiao looked at Xu Taiping at this time.
He knew that Xu Taiping had been practicing swordplay in Moon Lake recently, sometimes even until midnight, so he reminded him specifically like this.
"Senior brother, don't worry. Recently, I always go down the mountain and go home before dark."
Xu Taiping nodded.
Although he knew that Lu Chen was not killed by the red-haired sword ghost, he did not relax his guard against the red-haired sword ghost.
Although he still goes to sword practice on time in the past few days, because his sword control skills have become more and more proficient, it usually only takes two hours to write three thousand words according to the revision opinions of Elder Sansan.
Elder Sansan, besides continuing to criticize him every day, has no intention of asking him to practice more, so now he often goes down the mountain before dark.
"That's good."
Qingxiao nodded.
"By the way, the fourth test will be in three days. Here are the details of the fourth test. Take the time to take a good look at it these days."
"You don't need to be under too much pressure in this competition. If you don't make any mistakes by then, you will have completed the task. Leave the rest to me and Senior Sister."
He then handed another envelope to Xu Taiping, and then gave a serious instruction. "Why are these guys so arrogant like that woman on the street? Taiping, don't be sad. Just try your best in the competition tomorrow."
"
