Chapter 34: Gather before going on a mission
The next morning, in front of the North Mountain Gate of Xiaoyun Peak.
Ning Fusang changed into regular clothes and arrived early. She was wearing a sky blue dress without embroidery. She was leaning on the stone railing. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, thin and slightly curved. There was no smile in her eyes, just like peach blossom petals. , reflecting a few figures.
"Hey, someone actually arrived earlier than us."
There was a trace of consideration in the young man's eyes. At the same time, he did not forget to salute and signed up his number: "I am Wu Gui."
Two pretty girls behind him said respectively:
"Hua Qian."
"My name is Huayue."
The two are about the same age and look very similar. They are twin sisters. The elder sister Hua Qian is quiet and gentle, while the younger sister Hua Yue has lively eyebrows and a lively temperament.
Ning Fusang returned the gift and said his name. Immediately, the three of them looked slightly strange, but they quickly disappeared. Although their faces remained friendly, there was a sense of alienation.
Huayue stood on tiptoe and looked into the mountain gate, muttering as if to herself: "Why haven't they arrived yet?"
"The time has not come yet, please wait." Hua Qian glanced at her sister tenderly and said softly.
Wu Gui pointed to the distance from the mountain gate and said, "Here we come."
A young man came on foot. He first saw Wu Gui and the others, bowed slightly, and then saw the girl leaning on the stone railing.
After meeting Ning Fusang, the young man said in surprise: "Ning Fusang?"
"Aren't you studying under Master Gu now? Why are you going on a mission?"
Huayue blinked and asked, "Do you know each other?"
The young man jumped away, turned his eyes and focused on Huayue, and said: "I haven't reported my name to senior sister yet, I am Xie Feng, who joined the sect three years ago."
When Xie Feng said this, Huayue and the others understood that he and Junior Sister Ning were classmates.
In the outer sect competition not long ago, Xie Feng failed to make it into the top forty and became an ordinary outer sect disciple. From then on, he had to take on sect tasks diligently, earn contribution points, and redeem training resources.
There are a total of eight places for this task of fishing for shark yarn. In addition to the five people they have already arrived, there are still three people who have not arrived.
After waiting for a while, the remaining three people arrived belatedly. Ning Fusang's eyes were half-squinted, and his pupils were getting darker as he looked at the figure that looked more and more familiar.
Yang Ruo.
Why is he here to join in the fun?
Three figures, approaching from far away, arrived in front of the mountain gate.
Except for Ning Fusang, the other four people did not know Yang Ruo. Before he could introduce himself, the woman next to him said: "This is Senior Brother Yang Ruo, a direct disciple of Elder Gu Pingsheng."
The woman added: "My name is Yang Ni, and the other one is Dong Fangfei."
The heroic woman dressed in black and carrying a sword on her back nodded gently as a courtesy.
Hua Yue thought to herself: "Senior Sister Dong's temperament and her name really don't match at all."
Hua Qian was more thoughtful and focused more on Yang Ni's actions just now. She smiled lightly and said nothing.
Because of Yang Ruo's status as his personal disciple, the leader of this mission naturally fell on him.
Yang Ni reminded: "Senior Brother Yang Ruo, it's time for us to set off, right?"
Before Yang Ruo could say hello to Ning Fusang, Yang Ni's words distracted her attention: "Yes, it's getting late, it's time to set off."
As he spoke, he touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "I don't seem to know the route to Qingbodong Lake. Does any of you know?" "The sect has given us a map. Just follow the map's guidance."
Yang Ni paused, "But the sect will send the map to the first person to take over the task, and I am the sixth."
Yang Ni's implication is that the map is not with her.
"I have the map."
Hua Qian flipped her wrist, and there was a scroll in her palm. She threw it upwards, and the scroll unfolded, shooting out a cyan light.
"The light points to where Qingbo Cave Lake is."
Hua Qian raised her neck slightly, her eyes bright and radiant.
Everyone took out their flying swords, but Yang Ruo waved his hand: "Don't bother, I have a flying magic weapon here, it can accommodate eight people."
In front of everyone, Yang Ruo flicked his sleeves, and a delicate and gorgeous blanket flew out. It grew when the wind blew, leaving a large shadow above everyone's heads.
As he said, it is definitely enough for eight people.
Yang Ruo tiptoed and landed on the blanket. He sat cross-legged and waved to everyone: "Come up, you don't have to be polite to me."
Everyone fell on the blanket one after another, and when they stepped on it, the flying carpet swayed, which was worrying. This flying carpet would fall because it could not bear the weight of eight people.
But obviously everyone was overthinking it. Yang Ruo had advanced cultivation and was able to control the flying carpet very steadily. Except for the initial shaking, it was very stable thereafter.
Yang Ruo sat in the front, next to Yang Ni. Wu Gui and Xie Feng were in the back row, sisters Hua Qian and Huayue sat together, and at the back were Dong Fangfei and Ning Fusang.
Huayue poked her head out and asked curiously: "Senior Brother Yangruo, why did you take on such a tiring task as fishing for Shark's yarn without much contribution?"
In their opinion, at such a young age, Yang Ruo was already at the fifth level of cultivation and was a direct disciple of Elder Gu Pingsheng. He had a bright future and there was no need to waste time on such unworthy sect tasks.
Yang Ruo turned his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you contribute a little or not. Master said that I have never gone down the mountain since I went up the mountain. He asked me to take this opportunity to go out and practice."
He couldn't always grow up under his master's wings.
Moreover, the master also said that this mission was within the jurisdiction of his sect and there was no danger. He wanted him to experience the feeling of taking on the mission first so that he would have experience if he took on the mission in the future.
Ning Fusang keenly caught the key words in Yang Ruo's words, his eyes flickered several times in succession, and he frowned.
It was Master Gu's intention that Yang Ruo join this task, but was Master Gu really just asking Yang Ruo to do this task just to train him, as Yang Ruo said on the surface?
There are so many tasks to train people in the sect, why is it just fishing for shark yarn?
Letting Yang Ruo, the fifth level realm, go fishing for shark yarn, it is really overkill.
Yang Ruo had been looking for a chance to talk to Ning Fusang, but there was someone in the middle, which was very inconvenient. He opened his big moist eyes and looked at Dong Fangfei: "Junior Sister Dong, can I change places with you?"
Yang Ni said: "Senior Brother Yang Ruo, you have gone to the back. Who is here to see the map?"
This is not a difficult task. Yang Ruo said without even thinking, "Just keep an eye on it with Junior Sister Dong."
Dong Fangfei nodded and exchanged positions with Yang Ruo.
After sitting next to Ning Fusang, Yang Ruo raised her palms to cover her mouth and whispered: "Junior sister Ning, you must be curious about why I want to do this sect mission, right?"
