Swish!
Travelling through the forest, Lin Xiao didn't encounter anything difficult anymore. The other two sects were located on the opposite side, so there was no chance for him to see those people from the other two sects.
Besides, he had no interest to meet with those annoying people again.
After two days, they see the city's gate and entered the city successfully. Thanks to the plate they had, they managed to enter the city without any problem.
"Shall we hand in the mission?" Lin Xiao said.
Lin Yun nodded. "Hopefully we won't attract that much attention with the mission we submit in."
They were currently only Body Training Rank 6 and 8 from their plates. It meant that they wouldn't be able to fight these people on normal condition. The mission shouldn't have been able to be finished.
Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "We can just attribute it to luck. After all, this is our first time~."
The other two: "…"
They have the feeling that Lin Xiao had the intention to repeat this sequence in the future. At that time, they might attract more attention because of the result that they received here.
Sigh
How troublesome.
Entering the Mercenary Association, Lin Xiao headed straight to the counter. There were different counters for those who wanted to submit mission and those who wanted to accept missions. Thanks to that, the line was not that long.
Before long, the three of them reached the front.
"We want to submit these two missions." Lin Xiao handed the token then took out the head of Bo Wu along with a batch of Cotton Flower Grass to the counter.
The woman at the counter was stunned. She looked at the three of them then to the token then looked at the three of them once more. If she was not wrong, these were missions that needed a lot of power and time, right? Based on the requirement, she could see that these three shouldn't have passed the requirement.
"Did you really…finish this?" the woman asked in doubtful tone.
Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Yes. Can you finish the registering?"
The woman was still doubtful, but since there was no way to prove otherwise, she chose to continue with what she was doing. Submitting the missions, the two of them gained the reward along with some points in the association that they could use to trade things in Mercenary Association.
But looking at the number…
"There are not many things we can buy at this period of time." Lin Xiao was disappointed. They only got a handful of points while the items at the association was priced at astronomical price. If they wanted to buy it, they might need to finish countless missions first before finally able to collect enough.
Lin Yun nodded. "We need to finish like 10 missions like this?"
"Shouldn't be a problem." Calculating the time, Lin Xiao noticed that they still have like two to three months before it was New Year. They spent around a week to finish two missions so if they picked several missions at one go again, they might be able to finish earlier.
"Do you want to take new missions?" the woman asked after she handed the reward. Her brain was in chaos because of these three's conversation. Didn't they realize that their weak cultivation stage only made them suitable to become cannon fodder?
They were simply overestimating themselves!
"Not now. Let's go."
Taking the reward, Lin Xiao felt quite happy. He looked at Wenren Yu and Lin Yun. "I'm taking the Spirit Stones; you'll get the gold."
The other two nodded. They knew that Lin Xiao required the spirit stones more than them, so they allowed him to take it. As for them, they could use the gold to buy some herbs so that they could make medicine and others that were useful for them.
"Where do you want to go now?"
"Ah, maybe visiting Sui Wenyan?" Lin Xiao said while tilting his head. "Eh, wait, when will the auction start?"
He wanted to visit the auction too. Since he was also someone who put his items into the auction, it meant that he also had ticket to attend the auction. As for his seat… that would depend on the auction house.
"Tonight."
"…We come back right in time."
Wenren Yu only laughed. They came back in the morning since they spent the night outside. There were still a few hours before the auction start, but he could already hear many people talking about it.
The two auction house was trying hard to promote their items. While the one that Lin Xiao gave was not the most expensive, it was still a good item nevertheless.
"Excuse me, do you know where the Street Performance Group is?"
"They're in Du Family House."
"Eh, again?"
"Du Family wants to try their luck to get enlightenment, so they keep on having Street Performance Group perform in their place," the man explained.
Lin Xiao had an awkward expression on his face. If he was not wrong, the one who gained enlightenment was him. But his enlightenment totally had nothing to do with those people who played music. After all, he gained the enlightenment because of his conversation with Wenren Yu.
Behind him, Wenren Yu's expression was not any better. If only it was possible, he would like to help his senior sister out of this awkward situation.
But… he couldn't reveal the truth regarding Lin Xiao.
Because of that, the two of them could only silently lit a candle for Sui Wenyan while hoping that she would not have any problem. Well, she was only playing music, what kind of problem could occur?
Bang!
Just as they were thinking about that, the sound of explosion came from one direction. The three of them looked in that place and saw a man sprawled on the road like a fish that was unable to return back to the water.
"What happened?"
