Chapter 488: A drop in the bucket
"I know what you want to ask." Yu Wenying stretched out his hand to interrupt her, "Don't even think about it. This mission was several years ago. Because no one took it, it was withdrawn by Zhaotian Pavilion a long time ago."
The task will not remain suspended forever.
It is time-limited.
Once the time limit has passed, it will be removed from the task list by Zhaotian Pavilion.
Ruan Xihe nodded.
She should have thought of this earlier. The task list in the academy's mission building was like this, not to mention Zhaotian Pavilion.
"Where is Zhaotian Pavilion? How do we get there?" Mo Yuan asked.
"Are you planning to try your luck at Zhaotian Pavilion?" Yuwen Yan answered, thought for a moment, and agreed, "That's fine. Zhaotian Pavilion not only has mercenaries, but also other large and small forces. If you want to get information, it's a good choice."
"I can help them draw the map!" Scar raised his hand to recommend himself.
Yu Wenying waved his hand, "No need to draw, my brother has found it, aren't we going back to Zhaotian Pavilion now? It's a good opportunity for us to go together."
"Oh, yes..." Scar realized belatedly.
If Yuwen Ying hadn't disappeared, they would have returned to Zhaotian Pavilion long ago.
Yu Wenying was a little excited. "Let's set off now without delay. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk on the way. What do you think?"
Ruan Xihe looked at her friends, and they all nodded at her.
"can."
Take action when you say action.
The group set out from Caesar Forest in a mighty procession.
On the way, Yuwen Yan told Yuwen Ying about his regression in cultivation and the collapse of his spiritual power.
Yu Wenying was very shocked and kept asking Ruan Xihe whether she saw any suspicious people when she met her brother. She wanted to help her brother get his spiritual energy back.
Ruan Xihe touched his nose.
I can only say guiltily that I didn’t see it.
Along the way, because there were so many people, they walked a little slower, but they did not need too much rest at night, so they traveled day and night, and their speed increased.
Ten days later.
Ruan Xihe and the others finally followed Yuwen Ying to a more prosperous city.
Along the way, they passed through either swampy hills or extremely dilapidated, uninhabited villages.
Because they were in a hurry, everyone in the group looked dusty and dirty.
Therefore, after entering the city, they were often looked at strangely by people around them.
"Tsk tsk, it's so dirty. Where did this stinky beggar come from? Don't pollute the air of our Lan City."
"That's right. Look at them. They are all covered in dirt. I hope they don't have any dirty diseases that can be passed on to us."
"What bad luck! Let's go, let's stay away from it."
"..."
People around them walked away in groups of two or three.
at this time--
"Bah-"
The last person who spoke had not yet turned around completely when a sharp sword pierced his throat.
His body fell down and warm blood spurted out, not only flowing all over the ground, but also spraying the face of the man next to him.
The man was frightened and instantly squatted on the ground.
Yu Wenying drew back the sword expressionlessly, and used the tip of the sword to pick up the trembling man whose face was splattered with blood next to the corpse.
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
"No, nothing..." The man didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the sword would tilt and his head would fall to the ground.
"It's Miss Yuwen!" Someone beside him exclaimed and immediately knelt down, "Miss Yuwen, I was blind and didn't recognize you. Please forgive me!"
"Miss Yuwen, please spare me!"
"..."
All those who had just spoken fell to their knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Their pleas for mercy are nothing but crocodile tears.
Yu Wenying's heart was not shaken at all. She swung her sword -
"Aying, forget it." Yuwen Yan blocked her arm, "The sin of killing is too heavy, it will not be easy for cultivation."
"Thank you, Master Yuwen!"
"Thank you, Master Yuwen!"
"..."
Seeing Yuwen Yan blocking Yuwen Ying's sword, those people burst into tears of gratitude.
Yuwen Yan frowned and said coldly: "Don't call me Master Yuwen, my identity is the leader of the Three Fire Mercenaries."
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Captain Yuwen!"
These people changed their tune immediately and were very good at adapting to the changing circumstances.
Yu Wenyan waved his hands irritably and told these people to get lost. They immediately crawled away.
Watch their backs as they leave.
Ruan Xihe's eyes dimmed and his wrist trembled.
Countless tiny white powders were carried by the breeze and bounced into the collars of the people who had just spoken.
Being in a foreign country, she really didn't want to cause trouble. It was true that she didn't want to provoke trouble, but that didn't mean she wouldn't fight back.
Since those people are so good at being trolls and are so afraid of being infected with dirty diseases, she will help them.
As those figures disappeared, the coldness on Yu Wenying gradually faded away.
She turned around and hugged Ruan Xihe and Yun Xi's arms, smiling happily.
"Aruan, Ayun, we in Lancheng are actually very good people. Not everyone here is as talkative as these few people."
"These guys are used to being idle and not practicing. They just wander around the streets all day long and say something to everyone they see. Others don't bother to argue with them, but they ran into me this time. It's their bad luck."
"No matter where you are, there will always be some bad apples. I know that." Ruan Xihe curled his lips.
The bad luck for these people is yet to come.
Ruan Xihe answered frankly, but Yun Xi was a little overwhelmed by Yu Wenying's enthusiasm. She looked at Ruan Xihe as if asking for help.
Feeling Yun Xi's pleading gaze, Ruan Xihe instantly understood.
She flicked the dust off her clothes and murmured, "We are so dirty, we should not hold each other's arms."
"Ok."
Yu Wenying looked down at her clothes and found that they were indeed a little dirty.
Immediately, she thought of something, "How about we find a place to rest first? Have a meal? And then take you to Zhaotian Pavilion?"
"also."
Ruan Xihe looked at his friends.
Although no one complained of being tired during the journey, she could sense that everyone was a little exhausted after more than ten days of sleepless nights.
Finally, the group booked an inn.
In fact, Yuwen Yan and his group were not far from Zhaotian Pavilion, and the Three Fire Mercenary Group also had its own territory within the scope of Zhaotian Pavilion.
But in order to act in unison with Ruan Xihe and the others, they still chose to stay in the inn.
Everyone asked for a room, washed up and changed their clothes in the room.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered again on the first floor of the inn.
