Chapter 32: Confrontation Mission: The Spiritual Fruit under the Morning Glow!

Shao Qingqing didn't expect Gu Jing's aura to be so terrifying.

Gu Jing didn't release any aura, but just a glance made Shao Qingqing realize that Gu Jing was not a good person.

Cold sweat appeared on Shao Qingqing's forehead. She had practiced a pale blue martial art called Spirit Manifestation Technique, which had mediocre effects but made her very sensitive to people's aura and danger.

At this moment, she could sense the faint pressure emanating from Gu Jing.

Even scarier than the monster ranked first in the Clear Wind Gate!

Shaoling, your big brother is not that simple!

Gu Jing nodded kindly towards Shao Qingqing.

Gu Shaoling prepared her words and then said, "Big brother, staying in the Gu family is not a good choice after all. Look at Qingqing, if she stayed in the Shao family, she would definitely not have achieved what she has today. Qingqing is a popular disciple in the Clear Wind Gate, gentle and beautiful, and her strength is highly valued by the sect."

Shao Qingqing felt a bit guilty.

Lingzi, stop boasting.

Sis can't handle it anymore.

Can't you see that your brother's gaze is becoming more and more terrifying?

Lingzi, please stop talking!

"Qingqing used to be your little fangirl, you had exceptional talent, great strength, and good looks. But now, Qingqing has reached the Divine Astral 4th stage. Those who were left behind by you in the past have caught up to you. You can't stay in the Gu family and hold yourself back anymore."

"Hmph, if you continue to hold yourself back, I, I will beat you. I've also reached the Divine Astral stage."

Looking at Gu Shaoling pouting and clenching her fists, Gu Jing couldn't help but smile.

This girl.

While laughing, Gu Jing noticed Gu Qingcang's unfriendly gaze. So, you want to make fun of your sister?

Shaoling, this girl, is kind-hearted but a bit silly.

Didn't you see that Shao Qingqing kept pulling you back from speaking?

He sighed but also glanced at Gu Jing in surprise. This kid's promotion speed is a bit terrifying.

Already at the Divine Astral 8th stage?

Gu Jing's current state was relatively relaxed, and his aura couldn't hide from Gu Qingcang, a big shot at the Divine Core realm.

Gu Jing rubbed Gu Shaoling's head and decided to tease her a little more.

"Hurry up and eat, shut your mouth."

"Hmph!"

Then, the dinner to welcome Gu Shaoling and her friend began.

The atmosphere in the Gu family was harmonious, which made Shao Qingqing couldn't help but envy Gu Shaoling. No wonder Gu Shaoling was so innocent, because her family protected her so well.

"You two must be on a mission outside the sect, right?" Gu Jing suddenly looked at Gu Shaoling and Shao Qingqing, asking.

It turned out that Gu Shaoling and Shao Qingqing were indeed here to carry out a special side mission.

Now, all major sects have opened the Heavenly Order Hall, where tasks can be temporarily stored for disciples to choose from.

"In fact, I took on this mission, but Qingqing senior sister was worried about me going alone, so she accompanied me to execute the mission." Gu Shaoling felt a little embarrassed, apparently feeling a bit troublesome.

Helping to execute the mission like Shao Qingqing would only earn her a small amount of experience points, which would be a thankless task. It was clear that Shao Qingqing genuinely cared about Gu Shaoling.

"Share the mission with me." Gu Jing finished his meal and then spoke.

Gu Shaoling naturally trusted her big brother unconditionally.

[Side Mission: The Spiritual Fruit under the Morning Glow]

[Collect the spiritual fruit bathed in the morning glow at the mission location. After successfully collecting it, you can choose to turn it in to complete the mission.]

[Mission Reward: 50 experience points, one mysterious red-striped spiritual fruit, one randomly selected blue martial art.]

The mission rewards were not bad.

Gu Jing couldn't help but nod, but then he suddenly noticed a line of small text below this mission panel.

[Confrontation Mission: The Spiritual Fruit under the Setting Sun]

He began to inquire about it.

On the side, Shao Qingqing's voice was gentle as she explained to Gu Jing, "This is a confrontational type of mission, where the objective of the mission conflicts with the objective of another mission."

"For example, the mission that Shaoling received is to collect the spiritual fruit under the morning glow, while the other party's mission is to collect the spiritual fruit under the evening glow. There is only one spiritual fruit, but the collection time is different. We must collect the fruit in the morning, while the other party's mission is to guard the fruit until the evening glow arrives before they can collect it."

Therefore, only one side can complete these two missions.

Conflict arises.

Battle will be inevitable.

"This girl didn't see clearly before accepting the mission. If she wanted to take on a confrontational mission, she should have prepared for it in advance, made sure it was secure, and then considered accepting it. Sigh." Shao Qingqing glanced helplessly at Gu Shaoling, who could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

This mission may come with great risks.

Even Shao Qingqing felt it was not very safe.

"The mission is tomorrow morning, right?" Gu Jing suddenly asked.

Gu Shaoling nodded foolishly.

This girl is like that. After eating, she would sit there foolishly, as if falling asleep. She's extremely cute.

"Then I'll accompany you two tomorrow morning."

"Uh... ah? Mmm!" Gu Shaoling just realized and seemed to want to say something, but Shao Qingqing covered his mouth.

"That would be great, Jing-ge."

Silly girl.

This mission is extremely dangerous.

After all, we have no idea about the other party's background!

With your big brother helping, the risk of this confrontational mission will be minimized!

Shao Qingqing wanted to secretly remind Gu Shaoling not to foolishly think that your big brother's strength is still stagnant.

She discreetly nudged Gu Shaoling with her hand, then pointed at Gu Jing and gave a thumbs up.

"Is your hand cramping, Shijie?"

"I..." Shao Qingqing's smile froze.

Silly girl.

You're just pretending.

Soon, when the banquet was over.

Gu Jing returned to his own residence.

Tonight, Shao Qingqing also stayed at the Gu family's place.

Shao Qingqing's father is also a Divine Core expert, but because Nirvana has now fallen to the Core Condensation Realm, he has some connections with Gu Qingcang.

The next day, before dawn.

Gu Jing's door was knocked.

Then a soft voice came from outside the door.

"Big brother, wake up! Let's go to the mission location as soon as possible. Don't waste time and miss the moment when the morning glow rises. The mission will fail."

Gu Jing opened the door.

Took out his long sword and slung it diagonally across his waist.

Behind him, Shao Qingqing stood tall in the faint mist, like an Azure Lotus, with a graceful figure and hair cascading down to her waist, making people's eyes brighten involuntarily. Seeing Gu Jing come out, she quietly saluted.

"Jing-ge."

Gu Jing nodded in acknowledgment.

At this moment, Gu Shaoling suddenly nudged Gu Jing and whispered, "Big brother, Shijie Qingqing said you're not ordinary. Is that true?"

Gu Shaoling was a bit skeptical.

"I am invincible."

"Tch."

They walked out of the Gu family's residence.

The mission location was not far from Holy Sun City.

"The spiritual fruit is said to be born from the essence of heaven and earth, absorbing the aura of yang and yin. I wonder what effects this spiritual fruit given to me for the mission will have." Gu Shaoling was somewhat excited.
