Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 12: Ice Beauty? That's because you didn't pay extra.

"Senior Sister Xiao."

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "This is my newly recruited junior sister from the Divination Lineage, named Jiang Ling'er."

"Ling'er."

"This is Senior Sister Xiao Qingyu, in charge of managing the tasks in the main hall. She is a very kind senior sister. You can get closer to her in the future."

Ah~

Xiao Qingyu glanced at Wang Xiu and pretended to be resentful, saying, "I used to be called Little Sweetie, but now that we have a junior sister, the newcomer surpasses the old, and I'm called Senior Sister Xiao."

Pfft.

Wang Xiu laughed helplessly.

Senior Sister Qingyu presides over the task hall and communicates with disciples of all kinds every day. Therefore, in terms of cultivation, eloquence, and other aspects, she is outstanding in the sect and possesses the wisdom of being versatile.

If you really think that someone like her would be easily moved, then it can only be said that you lose if you take it seriously.

"Senior Sister Qingyu."

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Junior Sister Ling'er just joined the sect. I plan to take her down the mountain to do some tasks and get familiar with the town below the mountain. Are there any suitable tasks recently?"

Do tasks?

Xiao Qingyu nodded, then shook her head. "There are many tasks suitable for her, and there are also many suitable for you, but there are really none suitable for both of you to do together."

Jiang Ling'er: ???

Wang Xiu: ???

"Don't look at me like that!"

Xiao Qingyu took out a jade slip from her pocket and handed it to Wang Xiu. It had a faint milky fragrance.

She helplessly said, "You've been carrying the title of a true disciple these days, but every time you go down the mountain, you do things like feng shui, fortune-telling, matchmaking, and funeral arrangements."

"First, it lowers the status of true disciples."

"Nowadays, the nearby common people want to invite true disciples from our Three Purities Immortal Gate for matchmaking, childbirth, and funerals. Some people can't wait for true disciples and end up not getting married."

"Second, it lowers the price of true disciples."

"As a true disciple, you only charge a few dozen taels of silver for tasks. Many people think that true disciples of our Three Purities Immortal Gate are not valuable and dare to bargain for any task."

"Goodness!"

"Sword Lineage, Knife Lineage, Talisman Lineage, Formation Lineage, many senior brothers risk their lives to go down the mountain to subdue demons and eliminate evil, only to be cut down by others by two-thirds or even half. Their Dao hearts almost collapse."

"Our sect has been poor for hundreds of years. The tasks we do when going down the mountain have already been heavily discounted and sold at a clearance price. If we continue to lower the price and sell cheaply, we won't even have enough money for travel and accommodation expenses!"

Xiao Qingyu spoke confidently.

On the other side.

Jiang Ling'er and Jiang Yourong were dumbfounded.

Goodness.

So, Wang Xiu wasn't joking.

He really only takes basic tasks. Speaking of which, are the rewards for basic tasks worth running around for?

I don't understand!

"So."

Xiao Qingyu said, "The elders in the task hall issued a notice yesterday that true disciples are not allowed to take basic tasks anymore to disrupt the market. Otherwise, they will be severely punished."

Wang Xiu: ???

Well then!

After reading the information on the jade slip with his divine sense, this news is indeed true.

Or rather.

This restriction was originally aimed at Wang Xiu. After all, among all the true disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, besides him, no one is so free to take any basic tasks.

"Fine!"

Wang Xiu helplessly said, "Then please arrange a demon-slaying task at the Foundation Building Stage for me and a daily basic task for Junior Sister Ling'er, Senior Sister Qingyu!"

"It's best to be in the same town, so it's convenient to take care of each other."

Xiao Qingyu pouted and sighed, pretending, "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, you really know how to cherish and protect the delicate."

"For such a task, I happen to have two in my hands."

Xiao Qingyu's slender jade finger gently waved, and a jade slip appeared out of thin air in front of Wang Xiu and Jiang Ling'er. "Fengcheng, 500 miles away from here, is the recently deceased father of Mr. He."

"I hope that the Three Purities Immortal Gate can send someone down the mountain to help with the crossing and choose a good burial site for him."

"Prosperity in wealth and descendants."

Xiao Qingyu rolled her eyes. "He originally wanted to specifically request the assistance of a true disciple, but it happened to coincide with the new regulations being issued, so the sect directly rejected his request."

"Although..."

Xiao Qingyu's voice lowered slightly. "The sect generally does not allow true disciples to take on basic tasks, but if Mr. He's filial piety towards his father is touching enough..."

The cold and elegant girl rubbed her thumb and index finger together. "Junior Brother Wang Xiu, you can still consider it. Make an exception for him!"

Speaking of which...

As if thinking of something, Xiao Qingyu restrained her smile and coughed lightly. "Of course, I was just speaking casually. The content of the sect's mission will not change, nor will the reward."

"As for how Junior Brother and Mr. He negotiate, that's your business, unrelated to the sect, and even more unrelated to me."

"Junior Brother, remember, don't let anyone catch you by the tail."

Hehe.

This Xiao Senior Sister seems to be looking out for herself while seemingly giving advice, but she is indeed a clever person.

Wang Xiu leaned closer to Xiao Qingyu and slipped two spirit stones into the girl's palm. Smelling the faint fragrance that came over, he smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I have always remembered your care."

"It's best if it's true, keep Senior Sister in your heart."

Xiao Qingyu glanced at Wang Xiu and threw out the second jade slip. "The second task is near Mingyue Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Fengcheng. There have been recent cases of missing travelers, trapped in the mist."

"The attending disciples who have been stationed there have gone into the mountains to investigate and found that there is a strong resentment and numerous ghostly figures on the mountain."

"The survivors who were rescued said that they encountered a white-robed fairy and unknowingly followed her into the deep mountains. If it weren't for our disciples, they would have met with an unfortunate fate."

"According to the speculation of the attending disciples, it should be the work of vengeful spirits in the mountains, with a cultivation level at around the Second or Third Layer of Foundation Building."

Attending disciples?

Wang Xiu pondered. The Three Purities Immortal Gate would establish Taoist temples in the major towns nearby to establish a connection between the sect and the towns.

In these Taoist temples, there would generally be two to three disciples at the Foundation Building Stage, supporting and guarding the area.

Since the forest creatures have given up on their prey and avoided the attending disciples of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, their cultivation level shouldn't be too high, at most just at the Foundation Building Stage.

Wang Xiu smiled. "I'll take on this task!"

Xiao Qingyu smiled cunningly. "This kind of demon-slaying task is risky to complete alone. Usually, several people would form a team to support each other."

"Yesterday, Ji Zidian, a true disciple of the Thunder Lineage, has already taken on this task. It's just that she happened to not have suitable teammates, so she asked me to help keep an eye out."

"I think Junior Brother Wang Xiu is very suitable. The two of you can team up to experience and slay demons. It might even become a great story in the future."

After saying that...

Xiao Qingyu winked mischievously. "What do you think? Consider it. Ji Junior Sister is known as the number one beauty of the Thunder Lineage. Many people would beg to accompany her on an adventure, but she was annoyed by her previous teammates who relentlessly pursued her, so she came alone for this demon-slaying task."

"If Junior Brother Wang Xiu is interested, Senior Sister can help you two get to know each other and matchmake?"

...

Wow.

Looking at Xiao Qingyu's face full of gossip, Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly.

If anyone ever tells me again that Senior Sister Xiao in the Mission Hall is cold and aloof, a frosty beauty, I will definitely spray them with a mouthful of salt soda.

This girl.

Clearly, she's so reserved, how can she be considered cold and aloof?
