Xu Taiping remained unmoved. Instead, he asked the Sixth Princess to confirm her identity:
"Let me see your half of the bracelet."
As he spoke, he took out his own half of the jade bracelet.
Before handing over the mission, he had to confirm the Sixth Princess's identity one last time.
"Daoist Priest, I... the token I mentioned was that bracelet!"
At his words, a trace of cunning suddenly flashed through the Sixth Princess's lovely eyes before she put on a nervous expression and spoke.
Xu Taiping frowned.
"When you lie, you had better keep the fluctuations in your aura a little steadier."
As he spoke without expression, he held out his hand to the Sixth Princess.
As a cultivator in the Nether Gazing Realm, he could clearly sense even the slightest fluctuations in a mortal like the Sixth Princess's aura or divine soul.
Hearing this, the Sixth Princess immediately blushed.
"Forgive me, Daoist Priest. I just... I just wanted that thing back so badly."
Speaking timidly, she pulled a necklace out of her collar. Hanging from it was precisely that half of the jade bracelet.
"That's right."
Xu Taiping picked up the jade bracelet and compared the halves, then nodded.
But as soon as he finished comparing them, the Sixth Princess snatched her half back.
"Mother told me that I could only give you this half of the jade bracelet once everything was over, Daoist Priest."
The Sixth Princess tucked the half bracelet back into her collar.
"Don't worry. I won't take your bracelet until I've delivered you safely."
Xu Taiping spoke unconcernedly.
"Daoist Priest, are we really not pursuing the Young Master of Blood Spider Valley? They already know our whereabouts. They might gather their men and come to surround and slaughter us tonight."
