Chapter 115: Su Wanqing Has Arrived!

***

“Senior Sister Wanqing, you really don’t need to be so anxious. Junior Sister Lin Muyu only took a low-level E-rank mission, there’s really no danger.”

The disciple at the Mission Hall stood behind the mission counter, looking at Su Wanqing who was full of anxiety in front of her, her tone filled with helplessness.

This was the first time she had seen this usually cold and composed senior sister lose her composure over a Qi Refining stage junior sister.

Their relationship really was as good as the rumors said.

“Is this really true?”

Su Wanqing took half a step forward, her eyes full of doubt.

Who could know that half an hour ago, when she saw the note Lin Muyu left behind, how panicked she had felt.

But that girl only had Qi Refining stage cultivation, and recently it hadn’t been peaceful at the foot of the mountain.

Especially with the evil cultivators around. If Lin Muyu encountered evil cultivators while out, she didn’t dare imagine what would happen.

Moreover, those evil cultivators were also very bold. She had experienced this firsthand during her previous missions.

Those evil cultivators even dared to ambush her, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in secret, let alone Lin Muyu whose foundation was still shallow.

Just thinking about the possible risks made Su Wanqing restless, so she rushed straight to the Mission Hall.

“Absolutely true.”

The Mission Hall disciple nodded with a bitter smile, then added:

“Junior Sister Lin is just going to eliminate demons in a village not far from the foot of Qinglan Sect’s mountain. That village isn’t far from the sect, there’s really not much danger.”

If she had known Senior Sister Su cared about her junior sister to this extent, she should have advised Lin Muyu more back then to at least give her senior sister a heads up first.

“Give me the mission location.”

Su Wanqing didn’t listen to any more explanations, her words filled with unquestionable firmness.

“Senior Sister, this…”

The Mission Hall disciple immediately showed a troubled expression.

“You know the sect’s rules. Mission locations are only recorded in the exclusive mission jade tokens to prevent people from maliciously stealing missions and disrupting the sect’s training order.”

Halfway through her words, she met Su Wanqing’s increasingly serious gaze, her heart tightened, and she quickly tried to make amends:

“But don’t worry, every disciple who takes a mission is equipped with a distress jade token. If they encounter danger, as long as they activate the token, the sect can not only receive the message immediately but also locate the disciple’s position through the token…”

Before she could finish speaking, she hurriedly took out a jade token emitting a faint cyan glow from under the counter, about to hand it to Su Wanqing.

But the jade token suddenly lit up with blinding red light without warning, looking exactly like a danger warning.

“This…”

The Mission Hall disciple was instantly stunned. After she came to her senses, she quickly looked up and said to Su Wanqing:

“Senior Sister, don’t panic. I’ll go report to the elders now and request the sect to send support…”

“No need, I’ll go!”

Su Wanqing interrupted her words. Without waiting for the other party to react, she reached out and grabbed the red jade token.

When her fingertips touched the jade token, she could clearly feel the spiritual energy guidance coming from within.

She gripped the jade token tightly, the worry in her heart growing heavier.

Then she summoned her flying sword, tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and leaped onto the sword.

The flying sword carried her figure swiftly into the air, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, a clear crane cry suddenly came from outside the Mission Hall. Luo Chenxi rode a snow-white crane and landed at the entrance.

Her sect disciple robes were stained with some dust from travel, obviously having rushed here as well.

As soon as she jumped down, she quickly walked into the Mission Hall and asked:

“Excuse me, Lin Muyu…”

Actually, she and Su Wanqing had learned about Lin Muyu going down the mountain alone at the same time.

But Su Wanqing had Golden Core stage cultivation, and her flying sword was extremely fast.

While she could only rent a Foundation Establishment stage shared crane from the sect to rush here.

But the speed of a Foundation Establishment stage crane was far inferior to a flying sword, so she was still slower than Su Wanqing.

“Junior Sister Luo, are you also asking about Junior Sister Lin?”

The Mission Hall disciple saw another junior sister coming to ask about Lin Muyu, was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded:

“Senior Sister Wanqing already took the jade token and rushed over there, she just left not long ago.”

“Ah? Damn it… one step behind again!”

Hearing this, Luo Chenxi immediately stamped her feet in frustration, her face full of unwillingness.

She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Lin Muyu, but didn’t expect Su Wanqing to beat her to it again.

She really needed to have strength to have opportunities.

…

At the same time, in the forest at the foot of Qinglan Sect’s mountain.

“Where is she? Where on earth did she go?”

Lin Muyu looked outside worriedly.

Earlier, Lin Xiaoyun had searched everywhere but didn’t find the girl.

However, she did learn which of the three was the girl’s sister, and also learned that the girl’s name was Mo Youhua.

She was afraid the girl had fallen into the wolf demon’s hands, which would separate the sisters again.

In her urgency, she activated the distress jade token.

That wolf demon had Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. With her current strength, she couldn’t compete with it in a short time.

However, this encounter also gave her an unexpected gain, she experienced the power of the Sun and Moon Reversal Technique.

When she hid in the space earlier, the dense spiritual energy in the space was wrapped in the warm light emitted by the Sunlight Ring.

Under the warm light, circulating the Sun and Moon Reversal Technique for just a few minutes, all the spiritual energy she had previously consumed was completely restored.

Keep in mind this was just recovering spiritual energy, and the Sun and Moon Reversal Technique could also repair bodily injuries simultaneously.

This way, she was actually very suitable for prolonged battles.

After thinking it over, Lin Muyu decided to go back and search herself.

She came out of the space and also released the three women she had rescued earlier.

Then she turned to Lin Xiaoyun beside her and said:

“Xiaoyun, you take them back to hide in the village first. I’ll go back and search.”

“Mm… Sister, be careful!”

Lin Xiaoyun looked up and gazed deeply at Lin Muyu, not trying to dissuade her much.

She believed Lin Muyu had her reasons for going back. Her sister was the most amazing!

Lin Muyu nodded, turned around and walked toward the wolf demon’s cave entrance, carefully searching everywhere.

Without Xiaoyun and those three women, she actually had no worries holding her back.

If she could win, she’d fight. If she couldn’t win, worst case she’d hide in the space and wait for her spiritual energy to recover before coming out to wear it down!

But she also had a hidden worry, she was afraid Mo Youhua had already been caught by the wolf demon, in which case she’d have no choice but to fight desperately.

Fortunately, this place wasn’t far from Qinglan Sect, so the sect’s support should arrive soon.

Just as she was thinking this, Lin Muyu suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air above her head.

She looked up and saw a white sword light flying rapidly from the distance, and the figure standing on the sword was all too familiar to her.

“How long has it been? Support arrived already? Qinglan Sect’s efficiency is way too high…”

Lin Muyu instinctively sighed, but just as the words left her mouth, she suddenly froze, her eyes widening, her heart full of shock.

“Wait, why is it her?!!”

“It’s over, it’s over. This wolf demon clearly isn’t as simple as I imagined.”

Lin Muyu looked at the cold-faced Su Wanqing, her heart sinking.

Anyone could come as support, just not Su Wanqing.

Having been in this cultivation world for so long, she had gained experience.

Whenever she was with Su Wanqing, she was bound to have bad luck!

“Muyu! Why didn’t you tell me you were going out on a mission?”

Su Wanqing’s voice came from the air as her flying sword slowly descended in front of Lin Muyu.

She jumped off the sword and quickly walked to Lin Muyu’s side, her tone carrying some reproach, but by the end, she unconsciously softened:

“What I mean is, Master isn’t around recently, so you should at least have informed your senior sister… I would worry.”

Lin Muyu looked at Su Wanqing’s anxious expression and fell silent in her heart.

Inform Su Wanqing? Based on Lin Muyu’s understanding of Su Wanqing, she would definitely secretly follow along.

Then things would certainly become even more complicated.

She was just a weak Qi Refining stage cultivator who couldn’t handle such troubles.

But she couldn’t say this directly, so she could only deflect with:

“Well, Senior Sister, I should become independent, right?”

“But you can’t…”

“Let’s not talk about this. Senior Sister, there’s a Foundation Establishment stage wolf demon in this area! Go eliminate it quickly!”
