Chapter 44, Tasks

"I have just known her for a short time, if you really want to talk about it, maybe you know more than me, senior brother."

Xu Promise couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he originally thought that the people in the sect should all be cultivating immortals first, and didn't care about other things, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiao, who was the chief of the inner gate, actually cared about the love of children and daughters.

But then, Xu Promise couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Bai Jiaren in the beautiful Tianxiang Building, and a sense of blackness couldn't help but come to his heart.

"But in my opinion, Bai Jia will probably like that kind of special ...... Ahem, no, it's a more handsome thing. ”

"Something handsome?" Lu Xiao tilted her head, ignoring the meaning of the promise.

"The words don't matter, the important thing is the meaning, if you want to ask her out one day, then go to the largest teahouse theater in the town, yes."

Seeing Lu Xiao's blank expression, obviously still didn't understand, Xu promised to smile and prepared to leave.

When he came to Yunxiao Sect, he hadn't taken a good look in the sect, and even the people who were a little familiar now were only two Bai Jia and Ouyang Jiang, and counting the cheap master Wu Yulei, there were barely three.

Just as he promised to leave, Lu Xiao called out to him.

"Senior Brother Xu, in fact, I took the commission to go out of the sect to a small village not far away to eliminate evil spirits, and it just so happened that Senior Brother Lin who was traveling with me couldn't go because of physical reasons, maybe the two of us can go together."

I just came to the sect, and you want me to go out with you?

But Xu Yu thought about it, if there was such an inner disciple in the sect who could speak, then if he planned to stay in the Yunxiao Sect for a long time in the future, wouldn't he have a very nourishing life?

So, the promise was quite happily agreed.

"It's just right, you can talk a little more about Senior Sister Bai on the way." Lu Xiao replied with a smile.

Promising to smile yes, he secretly rolled his eyes.

Why does this Lu Xiao feel a little unreliable?

"If you want to leave the sect, you have to apply to the sect, if you usually need to apply about a day in advance, you can only leave the sect after approval." Lu Xiao said slowly, "But this time it's not so cumbersome, you can follow me to the mission hall and change the task quota." ”

"Delegate?"

"We, the Yunxiao Sect, are responsible for controlling this area, and if there are demons and evil spirits around here, then the locals will ask us for help and give back some worldly money to the sect, as well as some daily supplies."

On the way, Lu Xiaowei promised to explain some basic knowledge about the operation of the sect.

However, the level of knowledge about the affairs within the sect can almost be said to be a blank slate.

If an ordinary disciple wants to join the Yunxiao Sect, he must have found out the relevant news in advance before joining, and he will also start from the miscellaneous disciples who deal with chores, and Xu Yu has become an outer disciple of the Yunxiao Sect as soon as he comes, and the channels for others to understand the sect, he naturally does not have it, and he has never experienced it.

The location of the mission hall was a little remote, and after strolling through the rows of steps, just when Xu Promise even thought that the two of them had already left the sect, he saw a small building.

It's not appropriate to say it's a building, it's just a dilapidated cabin, and it's the kind with the roof removed.

There were no disciples around who took the task, and they seemed very deserted.

The cabin opened a window, and in it lay an old man who slept like a dead pig, and both of them came to him, and the old man was still asleep, and had no intention of waking up at all.

Faced with such a scene, Lu Xiao gave Xu Promise an embarrassed look.

"This is the person in charge of the mission hall of our Yunxiao Sect, everyone calls him Lao Huatou, and there are very few people who come to take over the task, so he sleeps here all year round." Lu Xiao introduced softly.

Xu Promise frowned slightly, feeling that this kind of mission hall was a little abnormal, but he didn't show it, just nodded slightly. Lu Xiao walked to the front of the mission hall and tapped lightly on the table.

"Old Huatou, wake up." Lu Xiao's voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the mission hall.

The old man muttered in response, and lazily stuck his head out of the window, a pair of wrinkled eyes slowly opened.

"Looking for me?" Old Huatou asked lazily.

"Mission substitution." Lu Xiao said simply and clearly.

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, as if he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. He slowly crawled out of the window, brushing his white beard and yawning lazily.

"This is a new disciple who has just arrived, and I am going to take him on a mission." Lu Xiao pointed and promised.

The old man glanced at the promise, a seemingly casual but somewhat deep gaze. He nodded and said lazily, "Okay, okay, I'll change the personnel list for you." ”

The old man slowly opened an old drawer and pulled out a thick booklet. He rummaged through it, stopping abruptly, frowning slightly.

"What's going on, why are there so few tasks?" The old man muttered to himself, "Could it be that I blew my nose with those pieces of paper after I fell asleep?"

Lu Xiao also looked at the booklet, and there were only a few items left on the task list.

He quietly explained to Xu Promise: "Recently, the enthusiasm of the junior disciples to deal with the task is not high, they dislike that the sect can't give a better reward after completing the task, and the number of people who take the task has become much less, and then report to us where there are people who have demons and evil spirits......"

He didn't say much later, but he could guess how much he promised.

If the task is not waiting for someone to deal with, then the asylum seeker may have already been poisoned, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Lu Xiao came to take the task.

"It seems that the demons around here have not been active recently." The old man muttered as he pushed the task book in front of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao looked through it, chose a seemingly simple task, received the task card, and then signaled to promise to leave together.

"Senior brother, let's go." Lu Xiao said, and walked straight towards the outside of the sect.

"Why is this mission room so special?" Xu Promise couldn't help but ask, "According to common sense, isn't the operation of the sect just dependent on the disciples to receive rewards after completing the task, why doesn't the Yunxiao Sect do that?" ”

Lu Xiao smiled bitterly, and then said slowly: "To receive the reward, the sect must also have something to distribute." ”

"Fifty years ago, an elder in the sect defected after stealing a drop of true immortal blood, and since then, our Yunxiao Sect has begun to decline."

"True immortal blood?" Xu Promise's eyes widened, since he came to this world, it was the first time he had heard something with "true immortal" as a terminology, "Since there is a drop of true immortal blood, then there should also be a second and third drop, how can it easily decline?" ”

"Other immortal cultivators have very similar thoughts to you," Lu Xiao shook his head and continued to walk forward, "So, the Yunxiao Sect was besieged by the combined efforts of many sects, and we repelled them, but it also hurt the vitality from then on, and now it is two words whether to enter the stream or not." ”
