The next morning.
Mo Huaiyu opened his door and saw An Ruoxi’s figure preparing to leave.
Sensing him, her elegant figure paused, and she turned around to look at the youth.
“Junior Brother Mo, are you awake?”
Her voice was gentle and ethereal.
“Yes.”
Mo Huaiyu nodded slightly, looking at the beautiful woman and asking, “Is there something you’re busy with, Sister Ruoxi?”
Seeing that An Ruoxi seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, Mo Huaiyu couldn’t help but ask.
Today, An Ruoxi’s makeup was somewhat light, but her outstanding appearance was still enough to be considered a national beauty.
An Ruoxi thought for a moment before her red lips parted slightly.
“I recently received a mission to eliminate some people from the Demonic Path. The location is Tianshui City. Junior Brother Mo, you just need to stay in the courtyard. I’ll be back soon.”
Her tone felt like an older sister leaving home and instructing her younger brother to take care of himself.
Tianshui City!!
Mo Huaiyu’s interest was instantly piqued because he had done quite a bit of looting during the Dao-Asking Convention…
*Cough, cough.*
“He had robbed the rich to help the poor.”
He remembered there being a treasure vault in Tianshui City.
However, Tianshui City was quite far from the Yuling Sect, so he had planned to visit it himself after finishing his sect tasks.
But now, there was still nearly one year before the trial began.
This was the perfect time to go and take back the treasure vault that belonged to his future self.
After all, the treasure map was still on him!
Mo Huaiyu felt eager to give it a try.
“Um, Sister Ruoxi, can I come along?”
An Ruoxi’s expression remained flat.
Looking at the youth’s slightly expectant gaze, she remained silent.
“Sister Ruoxi?”
“Sorry, Junior Brother Mo, I cannot agree to that.
Your current cultivation is too low.”
Mo Huaiyu was only in the Dao Platform Realm.
This mission to eliminate members of the Demonic Path required a minimum cultivation level of the late stage of the Divine Palace Realm.
Furthermore, An Ruoxi was worried that Junior Brother Mo would be hurt by those from the Demonic Path.
“Uh…”
Mo Huaiyu didn’t expect Sister Ruoxi to reject him so decisively.
Even though his cultivation was low, his protective treasures were not weak.
His life-saving methods were top-notch.
“Sister Ruoxi, don’t worry. My cultivation might be a bit low, but I still have the protective treasures Sister Yuyun gave me. Protecting myself won’t be an issue, and I won’t hold you back.”
‘If the description on the treasure map is correct, the spirit stones in this vault alone number 10,000,000!’
Not to mention other miscellaneous items like magic treasures and pills.
If he could find this vault, he would instantly step into the wealthy class!
An Ruoxi remained silent, her gaze fixed on Mo Huaiyu, unmoved.
‘Is this not working either?’
Mo Huaiyu scratched his head.
Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to use the same trick he usually used to please Sister Yuyun. He didn’t know if it would work on Sister Ruoxi.
In an instant, his expression changed.
His clear eyes suddenly became watery and adorable. He was taking full advantage of his young age.
“Please, my most beautiful and dearest Sister Ruoxi, I promise I’ll follow all your orders!”
Hearing Mo Huaiyu’s words, An Ruoxi’s delicate body trembled slightly, and the defenses in her heart were shaken instantly.
‘Well, if I think about it carefully, as long as Junior Brother Mo stays by my side, with my cultivation, protecting him won’t be a problem at all.’
After a brief moment of hesitation appeared on her face, An Ruoxi immediately regained her cold expression.
“Junior Brother Mo, your cultivation is too low. If you go, you are not allowed to leave my side by more than 10 feet.”
—
The Mission Hall was located on a mist-shrouded peak of the Yuling Sect.
A majestic hall stood at the summit, with long stone steps stretching from the top all the way down to the base of the mountain.
The entire peak had three mission halls, located at the foot, the mountainside, and the summit.
The higher one went, the more difficult the missions became, but the rewards were also more abundant.
The long stone steps were crowded with disciples.
Unlike the bustling mission halls at the foot and mountainside, the Mission Hall here was somewhat quiet.
Inside a side hall, eight figures were seated. In the very center, two chairs remained vacant.
“Has Senior Sister An not arrived yet?”
Someone suddenly asked.
“Don’t worry, the two Sisters An are not the type to break a promise. We just need to wait quietly.”
The one speaking was a young man with narrow eyes.
A long spear rested on his lap, which he was carefully wiping with a cloth.
Zhao Long was one of the top experts among the younger generation of the Yuling Sect.
In terms of strength, he was even a head above Qin Wudi.
Speaking of Qin Wudi, he was sitting at the very end, looking quite pathetic.
Long bandages were wrapped around his shoulder, his face was pale, and his aura was withered.
It was obvious he had been severely injured, but when others asked who had beaten him into such a state, he remained silent.
*Swoosh!*
A streak of light flew in, revealing a beautiful woman dressed in men’s clothing.
The masculine attire did not ruin her beauty; instead, it added a unique charm.
The newcomer was An Ruojun.
As soon as An Ruojun appeared, the others immediately lowered their heads.
Rumor had it that the former Hundred Flowers Fairy had lost her mind overnight.
Not only did she enjoy wearing men’s clothes, but she would also beat people up at the slightest provocation, making many people afraid to approach her.
An Ruojun scanned the room. Only one person dared to look her in the eye: Zhao Long.
Zhao Long smiled slightly and said, “Eldest Senior Sister, you are the captain for this mission. Please, take the seat of honor.”
An Ruojun didn’t say anything.
Just as she was about to move, her gaze suddenly shifted toward Qin Wudi at the far end.
‘Eh? This aura… it’s Ruoxi!?’
‘Could it be that Ruoxi finally couldn’t stand this guy’s harassment and took action against him?’
‘Indeed, Ruoxi also hates men. The only reason she protects that brat must be because of the marriage contract.’
‘I have to use this mission to deepen our sisterly bond and show Ruoxi the true nature of men!’
Whenever she thought of that brat, An Ruojun felt infuriated.
‘I dressed so well, yet he didn’t say a single word!’
With An Ruojun’s arrival, the atmosphere became even quieter.
“Eldest Senior Sister, will it still be a long time before Senior Sister An arrives?” Zhao Long couldn’t help but ask. The departure time was fast approaching.
“No need to worry. Ruoxi is already here.”
Relying on her high cultivation, An Ruojun instantly captured her sister’s aura.
But before she could feel happy, her heart suddenly sank.
‘Why is that brat’s aura also there!?’
*Swoosh!*
A streak of light arrived.
A tall and beautiful figure appeared in everyone’s vision.
However, what surprised everyone was that a young boy was following behind her.
‘Whoa! As expected of the Yuling Sect, how grand!’
As soon as they landed, Mo Huaiyu was somewhat shocked by the majestic hall.
At the same time, he had a doubt in his heart: ‘Is there such a thing as a civil engineer in the Cultivation World?’
Following behind An Ruoxi, he was momentarily stunned as he stepped into the side hall.
It wasn’t just because he saw the heavily injured Qin Wudi, but also because of the beautiful woman in men’s clothing.
‘An Ruojun!!? Why is she here!?’
An Ruojun also stared with wide eyes.
‘How could that brat be following Ruoxi!?’
