Early the next morning, the mission jade slip showed: gather in front of the city gate and prepare to set off within half an hour.
Hua Ruxue and Su Yi walked out of the city gate. From a distance, they saw Feng Helan, Lin Feng and a group of 20 people, gathering together and talking about something. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
An Shixun, the target of this mission, has not yet appeared.
"Yesterday An Shixun almost died from poison. As soon as he was cured of the poison, he rushed into the Forest of No Return to hunt monsters. He is so courageous. Those who didn't know it thought he was in a hurry to reincarnate."
After saying that, Hua Ruxue showed a sweet smile to the monk in black who was hiding on the roof of the building using the concealment technique.
"It's the Li family." Su Yi also noticed the man, the bluestone token hanging on the waist of the black robe and a wooden sign with the word "Li" engraved on it.
"If the escort mission hadn't started so early, I would have been accidentally touched by someone. I had to give acupuncture to save the person, and then I was invited to the teahouse for tea. I didn't have time to eat the chicken meat yesterday, so I should kill them today. A meal!”
Hua Ruxue sighed deeply, and the chicken meat in her mouth flew away. The good mood that was rare in the early morning was just gone.
Su Yi lowered his head and comforted softly: "Save it for next time."
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to Feng Helan and his party.
Seeing that they were the two people he had met when entering the city, Lin Feng pretended to be familiar and introduced to Feng Helan and others: "These two are the Xiang brothers and sisters, Xiang Junyi and Xiang Junxue."
The younger brother next to him added unintentionally: "It's the Xiang family who is married to the Qingyang Su family."
As soon as the Qingyang Su family was mentioned, there was a burst of whispers around them.
Lin Feng proudly touched his beard and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard people around him scolding the Qingyang Su family in accordance with his wishes.
When Hua Ruxue saw Lin Feng using similar words as yesterday, she concluded that he was a guy who pretended to be sophisticated and liked to attract people's attention. He came from Qingyang Mountain, he didn't care about the eyes of others, and he was eager to wash away the bad reputation of the Qingyang Su family. , this kind of person doesn’t have many bad intentions.
Su Yi took out the jade slip, which read: The team has assembled and is waiting to escort the target.
Feng Helan also noticed the reminder on the jade slip. When he originally accepted the mission, he and another team had already gathered twenty people, but for some reason today there were two more people.
The escort mission is not difficult, with a maximum of twenty people.
Hua Ruxue and Su Yi also keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the number of people. In front of them, the number of people taking over the task, including the Wind Wolf Team, had reached twenty.
One of the members of the Fenglang Team saw Hua Ruxue and Su Yi arriving as promised, and stepped forward to welcome them without any surprise: "Feng Zhengyu, down below, is the captain of the Fenglang Team. Yesterday I heard that Mr. An met two young talents. It must be the two of you."
It seems that the incident of An Shixun being rescued from poisonous hair yesterday has not been spread. Feng Zhengyu is not surprised by the arrival of Hua Ruxue and Su Yi, and seems to be very familiar with Mr. An.
I don’t know what Second Master An said to Feng Zhengyu.
Hua Ruxue raised her head and looked at Feng Zhengyu carefully. Feng Zhengyu and Feng Helan were very similar in appearance, especially their thick eyebrows, but their auras were completely different.
Feng Helan's eyes were clear and her whole body exuded the spirit of justice. On the other hand, Feng Zhengyu's eyes were deep, his smile was superficial, his eyes were cold, and he was dressed in black, which made him even more gloomy.
When the others saw Captain Fenglang speaking for the Xiang brothers and sisters, they realized that they were brought in by Mr. An personally, and they became even more curious about their identities.
Su Yi met everyone's appraising gaze and said, "I am honored to be able to cooperate with the Wind Wolf Team, Jun Yi. This is my first time in Guanyun City. Please take care of me."
When everyone saw that Mr. Su Yi was as beautiful as jade, and that his cultivation in the late stage of Jindan was arranged by Mr. An, they all started to talk.
Just when several people introduced their names to each other, Lin Feng, who felt the neglect, suddenly looked at Hua Ruxue, his horns raised, and asked uncertainly:
"Little girl, are you really at the first level of Qi training?"
The person named He Yuan spoke with disdain: "The original team of twenty people was already together, but suddenly two brothers and sisters were added. The older one can barely see through the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and the younger one can only reach the first level of Qi training. , are you using us as free escorts?"
Among the twenty of them, four are Nascent Soul stage monks, and the remaining sixteen are all at the Golden Core stage without exception. Looking at their cultivation base alone, Su Yi can only rank sixth among them, while Hua Ru Unsurprisingly, Xue was at the bottom again.
As soon as these words came out, several other people saw that she really only had one level of Qi training, and their original warm greetings immediately turned into cold introductions, with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
It is not uncommon to drag one against another, and it has happened in the past, but the one being dragged away is at least in the foundation building period. What is the matter with the Qi training period when the health is left at the slightest touch?
"I didn't expect Second Master An to actually arrange for a kid with a first-level Qi training to come in. If she enters the Forest of No Return, a gust of wind will blow her to the ground."
"The spirit stones obtained by helping Young Master An hunt monsters will be shared equally among the team. What can this girl do?"
"What if you see a monster that is frightened and starts crying, attracting more monsters?"
"You can't kill the demon, and it's just dragging us down."
The monk world has always valued strength, and the lowest person who can take on green-level tasks is at the Golden Core stage.
They guessed that Mr. An arranged for the little girl to come in for Xiang Junyi's sake. Others have no right to drive her away, they can only try their best to express their dissatisfaction.
Hua Ruxue's eyes flashed, knowing that her cultivation level was too low to be qualified to accept the green-level mission, but she just liked to see how they didn't want to bring her as a drag but couldn't expel her from the team.
What's more, don't be a fool if you have free spiritual stones!
If she doesn't work hard to stay in the team and make them angry, how can she be worthy of the wave of hatred that Mr. An has given her?
She panicked and grabbed Su Yi's sleeves, hid behind him, squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes, and pretended to be strong and said: "I will follow my brother closely and I will not cause trouble to everyone."
Everyone saw that she looked like she was about to cry, and there was more dissatisfaction in her eyes. She was really just a drag, a guy who could only cry and wanted to enter the forest of no return.
Su Yi carefully observed the expressions of several people and found that as soon as the word "spiritual stone" came out, the dissatisfaction on everyone's faces increased. From this, he guessed that several people were dissatisfied with the spiritual stone that was as white as snow.
Seeing Hua Ruxue pretending to cry but stopping, she guessed that she didn't want to have a good relationship with this group of people at all, and maybe she was still thinking: Why don't you want the free spiritual stone?
However, the Forest of No Return is extremely dangerous, and the greatest danger comes from their own people, so they have to guard against it.
So Su Yi expressed his attitude to everyone: "Since the two of us are not participating in the monster hunting, we will naturally not use the resources in vain. After the task is completed, all the contribution points will be handed over to you as a thank you."
Hua Ruxue tugged on Su Yi's sleeves dissatisfiedly, not caring about the spiritual stones, but she even gave away each person's 10,000 contribution points!
The people who had just spoken, when they heard Su Yi said that he would not divide their spirit stones, but also share the contribution points obtained from completing the task equally among them, they looked at each other and saw that their goal was achieved, they all closed their mouths and stood quietly. On the sidelines, it was as if the little girl was transparent.
Lin Feng seemed to be unable to bear it, and kindly persuaded him from the side: "Although the beast tide has just ended and most of the monsters have been wiped out, there are many dangerous places in the forest. The monks in the foundation building stage are still in and out three times, let alone you who are practicing Qi. Expect?"
Feng Helan nodded in agreement. The monks who entered the Forest of No Return were at least in the foundation building stage. He really couldn't bear to watch a little girl in the Qi training stage die:
"We are going to enter the Qiulin land on this trip. It was once the territory of the top tree demon, but now it has no owner. It is extremely dangerous. If you stay in Guanyun City to complete the mission, it is better to change to a safer place."
Hua Ruxue bent down and thanked them for their kindness. She wanted to change the task, but An didn't give her a chance.
He Yuanyuan refused to take any advice, and looked ignorant and fearless. He suddenly grinned, with a bit of viciousness in his voice, "You have reached the first level of Qi training and you still want to enter the Forest of No Return? If there is an accident in the forest, don't do it." Blame us for not saving you!"
At this moment, an arrogant voice sounded from behind, "Who are you saying you won't save?"
Turning around and looking around, he saw a man in red clothes with a black mole on the tip of his nose, sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, holding a whip in his hand, and a cynical smile on his lips.
An Shixun passed through the bustling crowd and caught a glimpse of the heavenly being who descended from the sky yesterday to save him from the fire and water.
As soon as he saw Hua Ruxue, his arrogant expression suddenly turned into surprise. He quickly stepped forward and held Hua Ruxue's little hand:
"Benefactor! Don't worry, my benefactor, when grandpa comes out of confinement, I will definitely ask him to agree to let us become Taoist couples!"
Become a Taoist couple? With whom?
As soon as these words came out, everyone thought there was something wrong with their ears. Hua Ruxue and Su Yi even felt something bad in their hearts.
Then I heard An Shixun say affectionately: "There is no way to repay the kindness of saving my life. I can only promise it with my life. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to you in this life!"
Then he stood up and loudly expressed his position to everyone: "This is my Taoist companion. You don't have to save me when in danger, but you must save her! And my uncle! No matter what, Xiaoxue must be unharmed!"
After the words fell, there was a moment of silence in front of the city gate. Everyone looked at An Shixun, who was swearing so boldly, and then at the eight or nine-year-old little girl next to him, and their hearts were beating wildly.
Little devil An actually wants to marry a nine-year-old baby. An Shixun is so inhumane that he wants to harm the baby!
In the past, I only knew that Little Devil An was a man of both sexes, and was not taboo on meat or vegetarian food. Is he now so hungry that he is not selective about what he eats? Even the little baby is not spared!
Pass it on! Demon King An attacks the children! If you have children at home, don’t go out!
Hua Ruxue felt a thunder flash above her head. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. Is this bastard still ill?
Yesterday, I called Su Yi "Beauty" to the left and "Beauty" to the right, calling her ugly! Why did it become impossible to marry her today?
At this moment, Hua Ruxue just wanted to shake An Shixun hard and roar: Do you still remember the beauty Su Yi at the entrance of the alley?
Su Yi didn't fare much better. It took him a long time to recover from the shock, "My sister is still young, so Master An should be careful what he says."
The tone was so soft that it didn't sound like a hindrance, but a threat.
On the other hand, several members of the Wind Wolf Team were hesitant to speak. Originally, they mostly treated the little girl who came in through the back door with disdain, but now they only have sympathy.
The person who is favored by Young Master An will never come out after entering the inner city.
An Shixun seemed not to understand the meaning of Su Yi's words, and said with a blushing face:
"Don't worry, uncle, Xiaoxue is young. When she gets older, I will marry her into the An family immediately! I will never let her down in this life!"
As they spoke, the smiles on Hua Ruxue and Su Yi's faces became gentler.
An Xiaoer stood by, with blue veins popping out on his forehead. His face was calm, but he was shouting in his heart: You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you! It’s hard to see the sun today, please shut up!
An Xiaoer maintained a serious look and apologized to the two of them seriously: "Young master always likes to joke after waking up today. Don't take it to heart."
"Xiaoer An, you are talking nonsense! How could I be joking?" An Shixun immediately squatted in front of Hua Ruxue and said sincerely: "Xiaoxue, don't listen to his nonsense! What I said is from the bottom of my heart!"
Hua Ruxue took a deep breath and warned herself to hold back. One of the five guards who came with An Shixun had been staring at her. An ordinary eight or nine-year-old child met An Shixun and wanted to marry her. What expression will he show?
She pondered for a while, raised her crimson face, pinched the corner of her clothes nervously, then burst out and ran out with her face covered.
"Xiao Xue!"
Under everyone's sympathetic eyes, Hua Ruxue led An Shixun to a secluded place.
The last time she couldn't help but want to punch someone was the last time.
An Shixun followed happily, thinking that Xiaoxue was shy, and continued to express his feelings: "I'm not talking nonsense, I fell in love with Xiaoxue at first sight, and I will fall in love with you again. I will treat you well in the future!"
love at first sight? I really don’t know who the person who called her ugly was yesterday! The man was really forgetful, but she didn't mind helping him reminisce.
Hua Ruxue suddenly stopped and said unhurriedly:
"You weren't talking nonsense just now. It's just that being terminally ill is not conducive to longevity. I have a set of good deeds accumulating boxing here, which guarantees that the punches will reach the flesh and the disease will be cured! You said yesterday that the effect is good!"
Hua Ruxue turned around and jumped up, and hit An Shixun hard with her pink fist unexpectedly. An Shixun thought of the alley last night in a trance, and thought of the figure stretched by the sunset, and there was a feeling of fear in his heart.
The fist seemed to hit the soul, causing severe pain.
"Auntie! I was wrong!" An Shixun held his head and cried.
Hua Ruxue nodded with satisfaction. Very good. Doing Good Deeds Fist is still useful. "What did you just say?"
"Auntie, was I wrong?" An Shixun tentatively repeated what he just said.
"last sentence."
An Shixun didn't understand why Xiaoxue still wanted to treat him after his poison had been cured, but Xiaoxue asked him what he had just said. She must have wanted to hear his affectionate confession again!
Girls are shy, he understands!
He coughed twice, his eyes full of affection: "You are still young now. When you grow up, I will marry you in a big sedan chair!"
The veins on Hua Ruxue's fists popped out. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this bastard was pretending to be stupid or if he was really stupid. She also didn't know why she could still be criticized for saving someone!
Hua Ruxue kindly reminded: "A Taoist couple?"
An Shixun nodded happily. Before he could say his good words, a fist as big as a sandbag was in front of him. He quickly shook his head and said aggrievedly: "No more."
"What did you call me?"
"Xiaoxue?" An Shixun said tentatively. Seeing that his fist was about to hit again, he quickly changed his words: "Auntie?"
Hua Ruxue nodded with satisfaction. Maybe it was because she didn't finish the set of good deeds and virtues yesterday, so this bastard didn't have awe for her in his heart. He would definitely make up for it when he had time!
Just as she was about to stop, she saw An Shixun looking at her infatuatedly, with peach blossoms in his eyes, as if he was deeply in love without knowing it.
Tsk, the last time he showed such a look was yesterday, and it was still towards Su Yi, and the speed of this transference was faster than flipping through a book!
If you don't clean it up properly, you'll be sorry for his ironclad affection!
Today is a good day to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
