So the so-called grounding is not all good.

The Eighteen Sword Sect's meeting hall would handle all the tasks that the mortal government couldn't handle, assign them to the sect's disciples, and collect a certain amount of compensation for the sect's construction.

As an inner sect disciple, Xu Qingyan naturally couldn't stay out of it.

Moreover, this time it was Yu Nuan who personally sent someone to notify me to accept the mission, so I had no reason to refuse.

Looking at this girl who was still dissatisfied with him, and even becoming more and more dissatisfied, Xu Qingyan, who had not had much interaction with her in his previous life, actually had a good impression of her.

Of course, I just take it as a personal matter.

"Good morning, Senior Sister Yu."

Xu Qingyan took the file but was in no hurry to read it.

Instead, he smiled at the cold-faced girl.

Yu Nuan felt annoyed when she saw the boy's smile.

"You don't want to take a look at the mission?"

Xu Qingyan still looked so lazy and casual.

"It looks the same on the road, no rush. The mission is not as good as Senior Sister Yu's."

There were not only these two people in the sect's meeting hall, there were other disciples around.

Hearing Xu Qingyan's arrogant and presumptuous words, many of the disciples around turned around and looked at this side in astonishment.

Yu Nuan hadn't expected this boy to be so presumptuous. It was fine if he said this in front of her, and she could understand that this was his character. But why did so many people dare to say this if it wasn't to disgust her?

"Xu Qingyan, don't be so presumptuous!"

Yu Nuan couldn't help but frown and scold the other party.

But Xu Qingyan waved his hand in a relaxed manner, not looking embarrassed at all.

"It's just a joke, Senior Sister Yu is always so anxious."

He then opened the file.

Gee.

How should I put it? In my own eyes, it is not a big task, but in the human world, it can be said to be a vicious incident.

It is in the territory controlled by the Eighteen Sword Sects, a place called Qixia Town.

Outside the town, there is a group of pirates who have been occupying the dock for a long time.

Originally the government was able to suppress this group of pirates, but for some reason they went crazy and actually intercepted a group of officials who were doing business with the government.

Not only did they kidnap him, they also extorted 10,000 taels of gold from the government.

The government hopes that the Eighteen Sword Sects can send people to rescue the people. Once they get the signal, their people outside will join forces to break in.

The key to the mission is that this line of business cannot go wrong.

That's why he didn't choose to attack by force, but instead thought of asking for help from the Eighteen Sword Sects.

After reading the mission file, Xu Qingyan looked at Yu Nuan.

"Such a big thing..."

"Stop talking nonsense, get ready, and start right away."

Yu Nuan picked up her sword and walked out the door.

Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

"You want to go too?"

Yu Nuan looked at the young man, "You should know that at least two disciples are required to go on a sect mission, right?"

This is indeed the rule of the Eighteen Sword Sects.

Although many tasks are simple for cultivators, they are after all mundane.

But we also want to avoid falling into a trap and provide a safeguard.

The more important thing is to supervise each other, so that no disciples use these tasks to do anything that would damage the reputation of the sect.

But Xu Qingyan didn't expect that it was this girl who took the initiative to go with him.

"Of course I know this, but why is it Senior Sister Yu?"

Yu Nuan looked at Xu Qingyan impatiently, "Why so many whys? Do you want to prepare anything?"

"That's not necessary..."

"Then go ahead and finish it as soon as possible."

Xu Qingyan didn't quite understand why this girl wanted to go on a mission with him.

After all, the disgust she showed towards herself was not fake, so what was her purpose?

The two walked out of the sect's meeting hall together.

Before leaving completely, Xu Qingyan asked the other party a question.

"Sister Yu, you're going with me, aren't you going to kill me along the way?"

Yu Nuan narrowed her eyes and looked at the handsome boy.

"I never said that, why are you feeling guilty?"

"I don't feel guilty, but the world is dangerous, so we need to be more cautious."

Yu Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Perhaps she herself didn't know that this action was like a reward.

Who would dislike a beautiful girl's look of disdain?

"If you know you've done a lot of bad things, then be more restrained and don't force others to do something to you."

"Oh, Senior Sister Yu, it doesn't matter. You can't kill me."

"you...!"

Yu Nuan was so angry that she was about to draw her sword, but the smiling boy quickly stopped when he saw that he had gained an advantage.

"How do we get there? Should we walk there?"

"Take it!"

The sword-holding girl unhappily took something small from her waist.

When Xu Qingyan took it, he found that it was a small accessory that looked like a gourd.

Of course, Xu Qingyan would not think that this was just a small toy like a mobile phone charm.

This is obviously a magic weapon.

"gourd?"

"Take this and go over by water."

The girl spoke succinctly.

Xu Qingyan soon knew what this thing was.

On the vast river, a huge gourd was floating heavily in it, looking like a big ship.

Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh that Yu Nuan was indeed favored by Song Xiyan.

How could ordinary disciples dare to ask for such a magical weapon?

It was already a great feat for Feng Xu to fly dozens of miles by riding the wind or the sword.

Where can I find such a comfortable magic weapon? Maybe the mountain masters of several mountains don't have such treatment.

Yu Nuan sat at the front, still with her legs crossed as usual, with her sword on her legs, ready to fight at any time. Of course, it was also possible that she could use her sword to threaten the boy at any time.

To die or not to die.

This bastard is sitting here again. What's the point of sitting here in such a big place?

“Stay away.”

When this huge gourd began to drift freely along the river, it was very fast and did not require any power.

Yu Nuan couldn't help but open her eyes and look at the boy who was standing next to her with his knees propped up in the wind.

Sitting without sitting posture.

If you don't know, you might think they were there to enjoy the flowers.

Xu Qingyan's hair was blown by the wind on the river, and he turned around with a smile.

"The scenery here is great, why should I change places?"

"Are you here to see the scenery?"

"I wonder if you've heard of this saying, Senior Sister Yu, that the most beautiful thing is never the destination, but the scenery along the way."

"Get lost."

Yu Nuan cursed mercilessly.

Xu Qingyan was not angry either. The mission was boring, and the only fun he had was this girl.

"Senior Sister Yu hates me?"

Xu Qingyan asked as if he was asking nonsense.

"You know it, but why are you asking?"

"I just didn't know you hated me so much. Why did you send me the mission you were supposed to do? I don't mind, but you must be very upset."

"You don't need to care about these things. Just do your own thing. Don't force me to teach you a lesson here."

She couldn't help threatening him.

Xu Qingyan said with a smile, "Sister, why don't you try it now?"

"..." Yu Nuan didn't make a move. It was unclear whether she felt that the timing was not right or she was unsure about the boy's progress.

But after this sentence, Xu Qingyan did not speak again.

He just stared at the rippling waves on the river, not meditating or doing anything else.

It was as if I was really attracted by this scene.

The girl, who seemed to want to meditate peacefully and not get involved in anything, was inexplicably irritated and took the initiative to speak.

"This mission is not that simple. Perhaps there are some unaffiliated cultivators hidden among this group of pirates."

"Oh, I'll be careful."

"It's none of my business if you die."

Yu Nuan bit her lip.

"So what are you talking about?"

"I mean we split into two groups and use infiltration. You keep an eye on those people, and it would be best if you could find any immortal cultivators that might be hiding."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to find the person who's incarcerated."

"It sounds like Senior Sister's is easier, but she's not that lazy, right?"

Xu Qingyan looked at the other person, and Yu Nuan glared at Xu Qingyan.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, Senior Sister, do you know why those pirates have been entrenched in Qixia Town for so long but have never been eradicated, and instead have survived until today and are still a big threat?"

Yu Nuan closed her eyes slightly and answered coldly.

"Isn't this just a trick between the government and these pirates? If there were no pirates and no trouble, who would support these soldiers? The court will only keep sending money when there is danger. Isn't this a very normal thing? Do you think I know nothing?"

Yu Nuan's answer was full of contempt, as if she had seen through the trick Xu Qingyan was trying to show off in front of her.

Men are so childish.

In front of pretty girls, they would try to show off themselves, no matter if it was their knowledge or anything else. Even when they occasionally passed by the sword training ground, there would be men who were practicing well and suddenly took off their shirts to show off their ordinary bodies.

In her opinion, Xu Qingyan was no different.
