"I just met her not long ago. To be honest, senior brother, maybe you know her better than me."
Xu Nuo couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He originally thought that the people in the sect would put cultivation first and not care about other things. But he didn't expect that Lu Xiao, the chief of the inner sect, also cared about the love between his children.
But then, Xu Nuo couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Bai Jiaren at the Beautiful Tianxiang House, and a sinister feeling came to his mind.
"But in my opinion, Bai Jiaren would probably like something with a special appearance... ahem, no, it's something more handsome."
"Beautiful things?" Lu Xiao tilted his head, ignoring the meaning of the promise.
"The words are not important, the important thing is the meaning. If one day you want to ask her out, then go to the biggest teahouse and theater in the town. That's right."
Seeing Lu Xiao's confused expression, obviously still not understanding, Xu Nuo smiled and prepared to leave.
When he came to Yunxiao Sect, he had not taken a good look around the sect. Even now, there were only two familiar people, Bai Jia and Ouyang Jiang. Counting the cheap master Wu Yulei, there were barely three. .
Just as Xu Nuo was about to leave, Lu Xiao called out to him.
"Junior Brother Xu, I actually accepted a commission and am going to a small village not far away to eliminate evil spirits. It happens that Junior Brother Lin, who is traveling with me, is unable to go due to physical reasons. Maybe the two of us can go together."
I just came to the sect and you want me to go out with you?
But Xu Nuo then thought about it, if there was such an inner disciple in the sect who could speak well, then if he planned to stay in Yunxiao Sect for a long time, wouldn't he be able to live a very comfortable life?
So, Xu Nuo agreed happily.
"It just so happens that we can talk more about Junior Sister Bai on the way." Lu Xiao replied with a smile.
Xu Nuo smiled and rolled his eyes secretly.
Why does this Lu Xiao feel a little unreliable?
"If you want to leave the sect, you have to apply to the sect. Normally, you need to apply about a day in advance, and you can only leave the sect after passing the approval." Lu Xiao said slowly, "But this time it is not so complicated. You can follow me. Mission Hall, just change the mission quota."
"Commission?"
"Our Yunxiao Sect is responsible for controlling this area. If there are evil spirits around, the locals will ask us for help and give back to the sect some worldly money and some daily supplies."
On the way, Committee Lu Xiao promised to explain some basic knowledge about the operations within the sect.
However, Xu Zhi's understanding of things within the sect can almost be said to be a blank sheet of paper.
If ordinary disciples want to join the Yunxiao Sect, they must have found out the relevant information in advance before joining, and they will also start as a handyman disciple who handles chores. But Xu Nuo became an outer disciple of the Yunxiao Sect as soon as he came. Naturally, he does not have the channels through which other people understand the sect, and has never experienced it.
The location of the mission hall was a little remote. I strolled through the rows of steps. Just when Xu Nuo even thought that the two of them had left the clan, they saw a small building.
Calling it a building is actually not appropriate. It should be said that it is just a dilapidated cabin, and the roof has been removed.
There were no disciples taking the mission around, and it seemed very deserted.
A window was opened in the cabin, and inside lay an old man sleeping like a dead pig. They both walked up to him, and the old man was still sleeping soundly, with no intention of waking up.
Faced with such a scene, Lu Xiaochuan gave Xu Nuo an embarrassed look.
"This is the person in charge of our Yunxiao Sect's task department. Everyone calls him Lao Huatou. There are very few people who come to take over tasks, so he sleeps here all year round." Lu Xiao introduced softly.
Xunuo frowned slightly, feeling that such a mission hall was a bit abnormal, but he didn't show it, just nodded slightly. Lu Xiao walked to the mission hall and knocked on the table lightly.
"Old Huatou, wake up." Lu Xiao's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the mission hall.
The old man muttered in response, lazily stretched his head out of the window, and slowly opened his wrinkled eyes.
"You want to see me if you have anything to do?" Lao Huatou asked lazily.
"The task is changed." Lu Xiao said simply and clearly.
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was already used to this kind of thing. He slowly climbed out of the window, stroking his white beard and yawning lazily.
"This is the new disciple who has just arrived. I want to take him on a mission." Lu Xiao pointed at Xu.
The old man looked at Xu Nuo, his eyes seemed casual but somewhat deep. He nodded and said lazily: "Okay, okay, I will change the personnel list for you."
The old man slowly opened an old drawer and took out a thick book. He was rummaging around, suddenly stopped, and frowned slightly.
"What's going on? Why are there so few tasks?" The old man said to himself, "Could it be that I blew my nose with those pieces of paper after falling asleep?"
Lu Xiao also looked at the booklet, and there were only a few items left in the task list.
He quietly explained to Xu Nuo: "Recently, the enthusiasm of junior fellow students in handling tasks has not been high. They dislike that the sect cannot give better rewards after completing the tasks. The number of people taking the tasks has decreased a lot, and then they report to us where there are People with evil spirits..."
He didn't say much later, but you could guess how much he promised.
If there is no one waiting to handle the mission, then the person seeking asylum may have been poisoned. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Lu Xiao came to take over the mission.
"It seems that the evil spirits are not active around here recently." The old man muttered, pushing the mission booklet in front of Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao looked through it, chose a seemingly simple task, received the task card, and then signaled that he would leave together.
"Junior brother, let's go." Lu Xiao said and walked straight out of the sect.
"Why is the situation in this mission hall so special?" Xu Nuo couldn't help but ask, "According to common sense, the operation of the sect depends on the disciples receiving rewards after completing the mission. Why doesn't the Yunxiao Sect do that?"
Lu Xiao smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "To receive the reward, the sect must have something to distribute."
"Fifty years ago, an elder in the sect stole a drop of true immortal blood and defected. Since then, our Yunxiao Sect has begun to decline."
"The blood of a true immortal?" Xu Nuo's eyes widened. This was the first time he heard something with "true immortal" as the attributive word since he came to this world. "Since there is a drop of blood of a true immortal, there should also be a second drop of blood." How could it disappear so easily after the third drop?"
"Other cultivators have very similar ideas to yours," Lu Xiao shook his head and continued walking forward, "As a result, Yunxiao Sect was besieged by many sects. We repelled them, but our vitality was also damaged. , now it’s a matter of two opinions whether you’re going to be in the mainstream or not.”
