Gu Yunchi was shy, and he blushed when Lin Qi praised him.
Seeing that Lin Qi was really interested in formations, he took the initiative to propose: "I have a few scrolls on how to get started with formations. If you are interested, I can lend them to you for a few days... However, you will have to return them to me when the time comes. .”
He stuttered about the last sentence, and he didn't know how much courage he mustered up to speak.
Lin Qi nodded like garlic and smiled like crescent moons in her eyes, "Senior brother, don't worry, we will arrive at the northern chasm in three days. I will try to get it to you before I get off the flying boat!"
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Lin Qi read books and practiced day and night, and finally memorized all three introductory scrolls on formations on the last day.
When getting off the flying boat, she first went to Gu Yunchi to return the scroll.
Gu Yunchi was surprised when he saw her, "Junior sister Lin, there is actually no need to be so anxious..."
"Since I have promised Senior Brother Gu to return it within three days, I must keep my promise!"
She winked at Gu Yunchi mischievously, "I borrow and return books. It's not difficult to borrow again. Aren't I telling Senior Brother Gu that I am trustworthy and paving the way for the next time I borrow a book?"
Gu Yunchi was amused by her words. He took the scroll back and said in a gentle voice: "Whatever book you want next time, just come and borrow it."
"Senior Brother Gu, you are such a good person."
Gu Yunchi felt uncomfortable being praised again.
When Lin Qi was about to go back, she met Chen En on the road.
What was she talking about with a pretty girl?
"You must hand over all the spiritual stones for this mission to me, and even convert all the contribution points into spiritual stones for me!"
"Remember, don't even think about playing tricks! Don't forget your mother!"
Chen En's lowered hands clenched tightly and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
"Huh!" The pretty girl turned to leave and saw Lin Qi standing at the intersection.
The delicate and confident expression on her face faded away, and she immediately saluted and said, "I've met Senior Sister."
Lin Qi glanced at the jade token on her body. It was the token of an outer disciple of the Formation Peak.
Lin Qi nodded towards her.
Before leaving, the girl turned back and glared at Chen En, warning her not to talk nonsense.
When Chen En saw Lin Qi, a flash of panic flashed across his face, "Senior Sister Lin! Why are you here?"
Lin Qi's eyes were bright, as if she didn't see or hear anything, and she deliberately condemned: "Chen En, you came to participate in the mission, why didn't you tell us? Are you still afraid that Tan Yueqing and I will disturb you?"
"No!" Chen En denied subconsciously, and whispered: "The mission I signed up for is different from yours."
Lin Qi: "Are you taking a hunting mission?"
"No...no."
The qi training disciples who came to the north this time only had three tasks, one was a guard task that required water ice spiritual roots, the other was a hunting task that required high cultivation, and the remaining one was the logistics team, commonly known as the miscellaneous team.
Chen En has the twin spiritual roots of ice and wood, so she should be reported as a guard, but Lin Qi didn't see her on the list.
She now denies that it is a hunting mission, so it can only be the logistics team.
Among the logistics tasks, the advanced ones are like Gu Yunchi, who only need to sit at the rear and draw formations. The other is to do odd jobs, doing all the dirty work.
Chen En has no other skills, he can only be the latter.
After all, he is a disciple trained by Killing Bingfeng, but the mission he participated in this time was actually a handyman?
Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she thought about the conversation she had with the girl just now.
"The flying boat is about to land, and it's not easy to talk much now. If our mission locations are the same, I'll come find you then!"
Chen En breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay."
After returning to the third floor, Li Shou, the senior brother of Killing Bingfeng, was announcing the team arrangement and mission location.
Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing were assigned to a team by coincidence, and what was even more coincidental was that the person leading the team was Li Shouzheng.
Tinghan Zhenjun's back door approach is really 'above and aboveboard'.
She walked behind Tan Yueqing and said, "Chen En also participated in the northern mission, did you know?"
Tan Yueqing's expression remained unchanged and she nodded slightly, "I know. She took on the odd job."
"So you already knew it..." Lin Qi thought the same thing.
Tan Yueqing and Chen En are fellow apprentices at the same peak, and they must know Chen En's situation better.
Since she didn't say what it was, Lin Qi didn't ask anymore.
The flying boat landed.
There was a roar, and there were suddenly more noisy sounds all around.
Most of the qi training disciples were very excited.
After all, it is usually difficult to see the outside scenery after entering the sect, especially in such a remote place in the north.
Tan Yueqing glanced around calmly and explained to Lin Qi: "After passing the northern chasm, the closer you go to the location of Golden Crow Fudou, the worse the surrounding environment becomes. The major sects have jointly established two As for the defense line, disciples below Nascent Soul stop at the first line of defense. The stronger the overall strength of the team, the further inside they will be assigned."
While talking, teams were already disembarking from the flying boat one after another.
Lin Qi touched her chin, "The leader of our guard team is Senior Brother Li, who is a Jindan monk. It will probably take a while before we can get off the flying boat. We don't know which hunting team we will complete the mission with." "
"It should be Senior Sister Yuan Xi..." Tan Yueqing's voice was cold and cold, like the impact of jade and the flow of clear springs.
"Really?" Lin Qi couldn't help being a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "How do you know? Weren't they randomly assigned and only found out when they arrived at the mission location?"
Tan Yueqing's eyes fell on Li Shouzheng and said slowly: "Senior Brother's face has not looked good since he got the task assignment scroll. He... doesn't get along with Senior Sister Yuan Xi."
In fact, Tan Yueqing said it very implicitly.
Li Shouzheng only looks ugly when he meets Yuan Xi.
Lin Qi couldn't help but be curious, "My senior sister is so good, how come there are people who can't get along with her? What's going on here?"
"There's not much grudge."
Tan Yueqing came close to Lin Qi and whispered, "Senior brother feels that True Lord Qingyun likes to bully the master, and always tries to find ways to take advantage of Killing Bingfeng. Senior sister Yuan Xi also suppresses him in every aspect of cultivation... He can't stand it."
Lin Qi gestured, "I understand! I will be obedient and not cause any trouble to Senior Sister."
When the disciples on the third floor were almost ready, it was Lin Qi's team's turn.
Their mission location this time is called Bishui Town, located in the middle of the first line of defense.
After landing, it was exactly what Tan Yueqing guessed.
The hunting team is led by Senior Sister Yuan Xi, and most of the team is Zong Lei Feng's disciples.
The logistics team is led by Luo Yidi, the third disciple of the formation peak. She is in the early stage of foundation building and a second-grade formation mage.
Li Shouzheng, Yuan Xi and Luo Yidi checked the tasks.
Yuan Xi: "The hunting team and the guard team protect the inside and the outside. If they can maintain contact and exchange information, they can complete the mission better."
Luo Yidi nodded, "With the cooperation of the three teams, this mission can be successfully completed."
Li Shouzheng rejected the proposal.
"The specific tasks of each team have been written on the scroll. Everyone should perform their duties and do their own thing well."
Yuan Xi still wanted to persuade him, but Li Shouzheng was already preparing to leave with his people.
