"Really?"

  The girl's face was full of surprise.

  Xu Taiping paused for a moment, then looked at the girl with a regretful expression and said:

  "But the woman I met was at least forty years old."

  Upon hearing this, the girl's expression of joy turned into disappoi, while a look of relief fshed across Lu 's face.

  Xu Taiping saw the ges in the expressions of the two of them.

  "You dare to tease my junior sister, just wait and see..."

  "Senior Brother!"

  Lu was about to reprimand Xu Taiping again, but was stopped by the girl.

  "Thank you for letting me know. Here are thirty merit s, take it as the cost of joining the sect."

  The girl took out a money bag and threw it to Xu Taiping with a look of disappoi.

  "Kid, with thirty merit s, you have more than enough to join the sect. You be happy about it."

  Lu gred at Xu Taiping fiercely.

  "Let's go, Senior Brother. Don't make things difficult for this little friend."

  The girl persuaded Lu with a somewhat disappointed look.

  "Since junior sister has spoken, I will let this kid go. Junior sister, don't be upset. If we 't find it here, we'll go to Green Peak Ge."

  Lu said with a smile to the girl.

  "Yes, that's the only way."

  The girl nodded and turo leave.

  "Wait."

  Xu Taiping suddenly called out to the girl.

  "What's the matter, little friend?"

  The girl turned her head and looked at Xu Taiping with some fusion.

  "What's your name, sister?"

  Xu Taiping asked.

  "How dare you ask for my junior sister's name?"

  Lu 's eyes showed a fierce light.

  "If you meet the woman you mentioned ime, I tell her that you came to look for her."

  Xu Taiping replied seriously.

  "Little friend, my surname is Liu, and my name is Zijin. If you really meet my sister, please tell her that Zijin has been looking for her. No matter what trouble she enters, Zijin is there for her, and she doesn't o be afraid."

  The girl's face was full of joy, and then she quickly asked Xu Taiping.

  "Okay." Xu Taiping nodded, "If I meet her, I will tell her everything you said."

  "Thank you!"

  Zi Jin csped her hands and bowed to Xu Taiping with great solemnity.

  "Let's go, Senior Brother. Big Brother and the other senior brothers from Sixth Peak are waiting for us near Green Peak Ge. If we're te, we might be scolded by Big Brother."

  Lu gred at Xu Taiping and then urged Zi Jin.

  "Yes, let's go, Senior Brother."

  Zi Jin nodded a Green Bamboo Resideh Lu .

  "Phew..."

  As soon as the two of them left, Xu Taipi out a long breath. Although he appeared calm and posed, he was actually a little nervous inside.

  After testing Lu 's rea, he was sure that if he showed any signs of knowing Liu Qingmei, or wao tell Zijin something, Lu would take a against him.

  Although he didn't know Lu 's specific cultivation level, after breaking through to the Sea Realm, he could clearly feel the powerful True Qi fluctuations from Lu .

  "If I were to front him directly, what are my ces of winning? Forty pert? No, maybe not evey pert."

  Xu Taiping pondered silently in his heart.

  The pressure Lu brought to him was much greater than that of the Evil Ghost, and he probably wouldn't even have a ake a move if they were to fight.

  So in this situation, it was obviously not wise to hand the Seeking Dust Inse over to Liu Zijin in the absence of Lu .

  However, by the reas of Lu and Zi Jin, Xu Taiping finally firmed ohing from the side - " Liu Qingmei's words that day were not false, and the se in the Seeking Dust Inse is also real. She was indeed harmed by Lu ."

  Xu Taiping walked to the gate of the courtyard.

  "I o figure out a way to hand the Seeking Dust Inse to Liu Zijin when Lu is not around, so that she see Lu 's true face. However, it seems that the retionship betweewo is not very close, at least it shows that Liu Zijin has not been deceived by Lu 's sweet words..."

  Watg the dire in which Zi Jin and Lu left, Xu Taiping muttered to himself.

  "They just said they were going to Green Peak Ge. Could it be that they are also iigating the Tiger Demon?"

  Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the versatioween Lu and Zi Jin, and a fsh of insight suddenly appeared in his mind.

  The most feroonster in this area is the Tiger Demon. It is logical for Zi Jin to bme the Tiger Demon for her sister's disappearance.

  "If I get to Green Peak Ge ahead of time, maybe I'll have a ce to tact Zi Jin. But if I do, I'll have to risk the danger of entering the Tiger Demon."

  He began to weigh the risks of going to Green Peak Ge in his mind.

  Xu Taiping did promise Liu Qio hand over the Seeking Dust Inse to Liu Zijin, but the premise of all this was that he could guarantee his own life.

  "Boom..."

  At this moment, a giant white-headed eagle suddenly the gate of the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "Xu Taiping of Green Bamboo Residehis is what you bought. It's a total of twenty merit s, and you o pay me one more."

  The white-headed eagle raised its head, and the package it was carrying was thrown high into the air, nding accurately in front of Xu Taiping.

  pared to Baihong, the voice of this white-headed eagle was obviously much younger and more immature, and it shouldn't be very old.

  "Thank you."

  Xu Taiping reached out to take the package, then took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it to the white-headed eagle.

  The package tained about a hundred arrows he had purchased, a set of leather armor suitable for mountain travel, and some miseous items for daily life.

  Basically, he would purchase these items every three months.Just as Xu Taiping was about to return to his room, he suddenly noticed that the young white-headed eagle did not leave immediately after receiving the Merit . Instead, it stood there, sizing him up.

  "Elder Brle, is there something else?"

  Xu Taiping asked with some curiosity.

  "I heard from my father that the roasted yellow sheep leg you make is delicious. Have you made any today?"

  The white-headed eagle asked Xu Taiping directly.

  "Father? Elder Brle, is your father Uncle Baihong?"

  Xu Taiping took a closer look and suddenly realized that this young white-headed eagle bore a striking resembo Uncle Baihong.

  "That's right, Baihong is indeed my father, and my name is Baiyu. These past few days, I've always heard my father mentioning you. To those unaware, they might think you are his son."

  Baiyu replied with a hint of jealousy.

  Hearing this, Xu Taiping gave an embarrassed smile.

  "Brother Baiyu, I haven't been able to hunt any yellow sheep these days. Wait a few more days, and once I've hunted one, I will definitely invite you to a feast."

  He extended an invitation to Baiyu.

  "Why wait for another day? It's just a yellow sheep. I have nothing to do today, so I'll go hunt one for you. Just wait here!"

  Baiyu said with a proud expression.

  "That sounds good, Brother Baiyu, wait a moment!"

  Xu Taiping was about to nod in agreement, as he was willing to cook a meal for Uncle Baihong's child, but just as he was about to speak, a sudden inspiration struck him.

  "What, are you having sed thoughts?"

  Baiyu sounded a bit unhappy.

  "No, no, no."

  Xu Taiping waved his hands repeatedly and then expio Baiyu:

  "Brother Baiyu, you might not know, but to make the most delicious roasted yellow sheep leg, the sele of the fi yellow sheep meat is more important than the roasting teique. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Baiyu to take me with you, so I personally select it."
