Outside the Prime Minister’s Residence.
All Xueyan Pavilion players simultaneously received a private message from Mu Qingxue.
When they saw the message content, they were stunned.
“Enter the Prime Minister’s Residence, harass an NPC named Mo Jiuchi, and make him attack us?”
What kind of move is that?
They couldn’t understand, but since it was the boss’s order, they had to execute it.
“You all understand the guild leader’s meaning, right?”
The seven exchanged glances, and the Divine Strategy player spoke first.
“Understood.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Alright, then we… uh, who doesn’t understand?”
The Divine Strategy player was about to wave for everyone to enter the residence, but suddenly caught himself and immediately looked at Shen Yue beside the Yihua player.
“What don’t you understand?”
“I don’t know.”
Shen Yue said timidly, hiding behind the Yihua player. Mu Qingxue had not sent her a message.
The Divine Strategy player was speechless and couldn’t help feeling a headache.
He didn’t know why this little kid had come; it was really troublesome.
“Little Shen Yue can just follow me. She won’t cause us any trouble.”
The Yihua player said, holding Shen Yue’s small hand tightly and smiling lightly at the Divine Strategy player.
“Alright, keep an eye on her. The guild leader said if we succeed in this mission, we’ll all get a bonus.”
“Okay.”
When the bonus was mentioned, the group’s expressions became excited. They wished they could immediately stick their faces out for that NPC Mo Jiuchi to beat up.
“Let’s go.”
The Divine Strategy player waved and called everyone to enter the Prime Minister’s Residence.
However, the next moment, they were stopped by a servant at the residence gate.
“Immortal Master, Immortal Maiden, please stop. Do you have an invitation?”
“No.”
The Divine Strategy player shook his head.
“Please wait for a moment, Immortal Master. I will go report.”
The servant bowed and cupped his hands to him, then quickly turned and trotted into the residence, leaving a colleague guarding the gate.
Although these servants held no weapons, their muscular physiques and fierce gazes made it clear they were no ordinary people; they were most likely martial artists.
“Big brother!”
A childish voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone’s attention.
The little loli Shen Yue stood in front of the servant, her small pink fists pressed against her chest, her pure eyes looking at him and blinking continuously.
A child?
The servant was startled. Seeing Shen Yue’s adorable appearance, he instinctively wanted to reach out and pinch her soft little cheeks, but when he noticed her pink dress, he immediately snapped back to reality.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Little Immortal Maiden.”
“Big brother, can I go in to see Grandpa Mo?”
Hearing the term “Grandpa Mo,” the servant was shocked.
“Little Immortal Maiden knows the head of the family?”
“Yes.”
Shen Yue nodded with a smile.
“Please come in, Little Immortal Maiden.”
Perhaps because of the dress she wore, the servant didn’t doubt her and quickly welcomed her with a smile.
“Big brother, these brothers and sisters are all my friends. Can they come in too?”
“This…”
The servant hesitated.
“Big brother?”
These two calls of “big brother” made his heart sweet, and he immediately decided to let them all in.
After all, these people weren’t ordinary; sect disciples visiting the Prime Minister’s Residence was an honor for the household.
“Alright, please enter.”
The servant moved aside from the gate and stood to the side.
“Thank you, big brother.”
Shen Yue turned around, pulled the Yihua player, and skipped into the residence.
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
The Divine Strategy player scratched the side of his temple with his index finger and followed, looking completely dumbfounded.
Once the players left, the servant, like a giraffe, secretly watched for a while, looking at that lively and adorable figure disappear into the distance. His heart felt as if something was missing, and his face was full of sorrow.
Sigh, such a cute little immortal maiden. I wonder if I will ever see her again.
Oh right, the little immortal maiden knows the head of the family? Then she must be a relative of the head.
Does that mean I’ll see her often in the future?
Thinking of this, the servant’s mouth curled up happily.
The group arrived at the main courtyard.
The Yihua player suddenly stopped and asked Shen Yue, “Little girl, who is Grandpa Mo?”
The other players also looked over curiously, interested in the answer.
“I don’t know.”
“Then why did you say you wanted to see Grandpa Mo just now?”
“Oh, I saw the words ‘Mo Manor’ written above the gate outside. I figured this family must be surnamed Mo, so I just casually called out, and luckily it worked.”
“That simple?”
The group was stunned.
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
“Uh, nothing.”
The few adults were speechless. They hadn’t expected their brains to be inferior to a child’s.
Sigh, shameful, shameful.
“Let’s discuss how to complete the mission now. First, who is Mo Jiuchi? Do any of you know him?”
The Divine Strategy player asked.
The other six quickly shook their heads.
“Sigh, if only there were a mission hint.”
“How about letting little Shen Yue go back and ask that NPC gatekeeper? Have him take us to find Mo Jiuchi?”
“I don’t think that will work.”
“Captain, ask the guild leader. Even some information about the mission target would be good. Without any info, we’re like blind men walking at night.”
The Divine Strategy player thought this was reasonable, opened the private chat interface, and sent a message to Mu Qingxue.
[Mu Qingxue: Huh? The deputy guild leader is there. I’ll ask her.]
“Holy crap!”
Upon seeing this message, the Divine Strategy player couldn’t help cursing.
“What’s wrong, Captain?”
“The guild leader says Xiaoyan Dalao is here.”
“Wow, the big shot is here too. I feel relieved now. With Xiaoyan Dalao around, we shouldn’t die, right?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
[Mu Qingxue: Long gown, around forty years old. He should be in the courtyard. If you see someone matching that, use the system to inspect him. That’s Mo Jiuchi.]
[Mu Qingxue: Note, the deputy guild leader says this Mo Jiuchi is a Grandmaster martial artist. You might die, but don’t worry. I’ll compensate you for any level loss.]
Grandmaster martial artist? Courtyard?
The Divine Strategy player looked around; this was the courtyard.
But aside from the two servants at the courtyard entrance, he didn’t see anyone else. As for the point about the Grandmaster martial artist, he simply ignored it.
They weren’t here to deal damage, and they were all newbies with low levels. Whether he was a Grandmaster or any other kind of master, it had nothing to do with them.
“Captain, what did the guild leader say?”
The Divine Strategy player’s looking around immediately caught the other players’ attention.
He didn’t answer; instead, he sent Mu Qingxue’s words to the others via private chat.
“Grandmaster martial artist? Just hearing that title tells you the damage must be insane. We’re doomed.”
“Hmph, what’s there to fear? Didn’t the guild leader say there’s compensation?”
“Even without compensation, we have to steel ourselves and go. Do you think the thousands in salary are just for fun?”
“That’s true.”
“Sister, what is that uncle doing standing there?”
At that moment, Shen Yue tugged at the Yihua player’s hand and pointed at the eaves of a pavilion.
The Yihua player looked in the direction of her finger and immediately spotted a person standing on the eaves.
Long gown, middle-aged. It clearly matched the features given by Mu Qingxue.
Her eyes widened, and she subconsciously shouted, “Mo Jiuchi!”
“Mo Jiuchi? Where is he?”
The others heard the name and quickly asked.
The Yihua player stared blankly and pointed at the eaves.
Mo Jiuchi stood on the eaves of the main hall, ten meters high, with his hands behind his back, eyes closed, sensing everything within the entire Prime Minister’s Residence.
When a martial artist reaches the Grandmaster realm, they can sense every grass and movement within a hundred meters with their perception.
