I cast eternal life with the seeds of Tao
Chapter 31: Can't stand seeing people doing well
Three days later, Zhao Heng got up early. Today was the day to go to perform the sect's mission.
He had already asked Yun Qingxue for a leave, so he didn't have to manage the medicine garden for the time being.
After quickly packing up his luggage, Zhao Heng hurried to a pavilion on the southeast border of the sect, which was the gathering point for the four members of the team.
When Zhao Heng arrived, he saw two figures standing in the pavilion from a distance. The backs looked familiar.
When Zhao Heng walked into the pavilion and saw the two people clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Sister Xiao!"
These two people turned out to be Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er, who were ranked in the top three of the miscellaneous assessment with Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng's Qi-reading technique has now reached the minor success stage. With just one glance, he sensed that the two people's blood and qi were vigorous, far better than before, and they had clearly entered the bone-forging realm.
However, the two had already stepped into the bone-forging realm before, so it was not surprising that they were promoted now.
Compared to Zhao Heng's surprise, Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er were shocked for a long time when they saw Zhao Heng.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you... why are you here? Have you also signed up for this task?"
Zhao Heng smiled bitterly and nodded. Seeing that the two were still wearing the uniforms of menial disciples, they must have recently broken through and came to complete the outer door test task.
And this task is the simplest human-level task released recently. It is also reasonable for everyone to choose it together.
Seeing Zhao Heng nod, Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er looked him up and down for a long time again, still unbelievable.
Xiao Chun'er couldn't help asking: "Junior Brother Zhao, have you also entered the Bone Forging Realm?"
Zhao Heng nodded and explained modestly: "Luck, it's just luck."
Hearing this, Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er looked at each other, unable to hide the unrest in their hearts.
When facing Zhao Heng before, although the other party was also ranked in the top three in the assessment, the two of them were proud of their higher cultivation and looked down on Zhao Heng, and did not regard Zhao Heng as an equal at all.
Now that they met again, Zhao Heng had actually entered the same realm as them and was about to be promoted to an outer disciple, on an equal footing with them. This had caused a huge change in their mentality.
Ye Bufan forced out a slightly stiff smile on his face, glanced at Zhao Heng and said: "Junior Brother Zhao, we are all acquaintances now, I have a piece of advice for you.
Cultivation still needs to be done step by step. The cultivation gained by taking a lot of pills and forcing the growth of seedlings is ultimately not solid and can't go far."
Zhao Heng heard this, how could he not understand that Ye Bufan thought he relied on drugs to forcibly improve his cultivation.
Xiao Chun'er on the side also said with a strange look: "Junior Brother Zhao, what a good trick, just became Sister Yun's errand boy, and you have this thigh, it feels good to rely on a woman for a living."
The two sang the same tune, and their words were all targeting and mocking Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng laughed dryly twice, and did not explain anymore, because it was useless to explain.
He had seen many people like this in his previous life. They were afraid of their friends' suffering and afraid of their friends driving Land Rover. Anyway, they just couldn't stand seeing others doing well.
As long as they could complete the task and let the two of them have fun for a while, it would be fine.
Sure enough, seeing that Zhao Heng did not deny it, the two of them began to show off their superiority again.
One said that he had learned a new martial art, and the other said that he had a new opportunity for a breakthrough...
While the two of them were bragging about business, they did not forget to exchange glances and send secret glances, with a hint of hooking up.
Zhao Heng cursed "dog and bitch" inwardly and turned his head directly.
But he saw a beautiful figure coming from a distance.
It was a girl in green, with a cloud-like bun on her head, her cheeks as white as jade, her facial features as delicate as autumn porcelain, her waist as white as a bundle of silk, her teeth as white as pearls, and her beautiful curves that were graceful and yet had begun to take shape under her ink-and-wash green shirt.
The girl's appearance was extremely beautiful, her temperament was pure and moving, and she was unforgettable at first sight!
"Hello, brothers and sisters. Are you also going to Qiuyue City to carry out the mission?"
The girl's voice was crisp and gentle, as beautiful as pearls falling on a jade plate.
Not only Zhao Heng, Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er were also attracted by this girl.
Ye Bufan's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "I am Ye Bufan, the top of this year's chores assessment. This junior sister looks very unfamiliar. May I know your name?"
The girl was stared at by Ye Bufan, her face slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but take a step back.
"My name is Xu Yanran, and my family sent me to Yuhua Sect to participate in the outer sect test."
"Xu Yanran, family?"
Hearing these two keywords, Ye Bufan and Xiao Chun'er's expressions changed slightly. Looking at the girl's dress and temperament, Ye Bufan couldn't help but think of something.
"Miss Xu, is she from the 'Xu Family', one of the five major families?"
In the Zhenwu Realm, in addition to the major sects of the righteous and evil ways, there are also some martial arts families that have been passed down for many years, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Among them are the five major families that have close ties with the righteous side, all of which are large families with hundreds of years of inheritance.
Unlike Zhao Heng and other low-born menial disciples, the five major families send some of the appropriate-age clansmen who practice martial arts to the seven righteous sects to participate in the test every year and directly become outer disciples.
In response to the inquiry, Xu Yanran whispered: "Should... should be."
The girl obviously has very little social experience, and her face blushed after a few words, revealing her social phobia.
And with the girl's affirmation, Ye Bufan's eyes suddenly became brighter, and his eyes almost glowed green.
"Haha... It turns out that my junior sister is the Xu family's genius, no wonder she is so elegant in conversation and has an outstanding temperament.
Junior Sister Xu, let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Chun'er from Qingyun Peak, and this is... oh, it's not important, we will get to know each other gradually in the future. "
Zhao Heng: "..."
…
After the team was assembled, the four members of the team set off that day and rushed to the small town "Akiye City" in the southeast.
In the southern region of the Zhenwu Realm, there are many dynasties. The two most powerful dynasties are the 'Black Flame Dynasty' and the 'Yunfeng Dynasty'.
Behind the two dynasties is actually the struggle between good and evil.
The Black Flame Dynasty is the headquarters of the four evil sects, while the Yunfeng Dynasty is attached to the seven righteous sects.
Although there is a clear boundary between the sect and the secular world, the two are still closely connected.
When some difficult problems arise in the secular world, the sect behind them will often take action to solve them.
For example, this time the gangsters entrenched in Qiuye City, the lord of Qiuye City in a small border town, was difficult to deal with, and the court had not sent troops to assist, so he turned to the Yuhua Sect for help, and this time Zhao Heng and others Task.
Yuhua Sect and Qiuye City were more than 300 miles apart. The four of them went down the mountain to buy four horses, and they had to travel nearly two days.
Along the way, the four of them stayed overnight and inevitably had many exchanges with each other.
Among them, Ye Bufan is undoubtedly the most active person. Ever since Xu Yanran arrived, Ye Bufan has begun to greet this junior sister from the Xu family and show his hospitality.
In order to show off his abilities, he often showed off and boasted in front of Xu Yanran. As the "only" male in the team, Zhao Heng often became the target of Ye Bufan's comparison.
Xiao Chun'er, who was originally in a relationship with Ye Bufan, saw that her lover's heart was all devoted to other women, and she naturally felt angry in her heart.
But Xu Yanran was not only prettier than her, but also from one of the five major families. She didn't dare to offend him, so she could only spread her anger on Zhao Heng, and also targeted and ridiculed him in various ways.
Zhao Heng, who suffered Wuwu's disaster, was depressed, but he didn't care too much.
You can belittle me as much as you like, and make me sound as good as I am, and when it comes time to carry out the mission, I can justifiably sit back and let you take the lead.
Of course, if the two of them make Zhao Heng feel that they have other malicious intentions and threaten his safety.
Zhao Heng didn't mind writing the names of two more people in the "little book".
When on a mission, there are always times when something unexpected happens.
But what Zhao Heng didn't expect was that his submissive team personality would attract Xu Yanran's attention.
This girl came to comfort Zhao Heng from time to time. She also defended him in front of Ye Bufan and others and couldn't bear to see him bullied. It was obvious that she was a kind-hearted girl.
However, her behavior made Ye Bufan look at Zhao Heng more and more displeased.
Fortunately, the four members of the team arrived at their destination before the sun set the next day.
Akiba Castle!
As a small border town of the Yunfeng Dynasty, Qiuye City had a population of only a few thousand. It had only two front and rear gates, a small river running diagonally through the city, and lush forests and beautiful scenery outside the city.
The four of them entered the city. It could be seen that in the city, the street restaurants were closed and there were very few people walking on the streets.
Occasionally, someone would show up, but they would all be in a hurry. When they saw strangers like Zhao Heng, they would look very nervous.
Seeing this situation, Ye Bufan raised his head and said: "The mission said that there are bad people making trouble in this city. It seems that it is indeed not peaceful, but they are unlucky if they encounter us!
Junior Sister Xu, you have to be careful, it’s best to follow my brother..."
When Ye Bufan spoke, he glanced to his side, but Xu Yanran was nowhere to be seen.
Looking back, Xu Yanran was walking side by side with Zhao Heng who was hanging at the back of the team, exchanging something, which made Ye Bufan frown.
At this time, Xu Yanran was curiously asking Zhao Heng.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what are you looking at?"
Since entering the city, Xu Yanran saw that Zhao Heng's head was spinning like a wheel, constantly looking at the surrounding environment.
Zhao Heng smiled awkwardly and said: "Nothing, I just took a look at the city's fashion."
"Senior Brother Zhao, do you still know Feng Shui?" The little girl looked surprised.
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
Zhao Heng responded perfunctorily, but he was muttering in his heart.
"There are only two city gates, two miles apart from the front and back. There is only one waterway. It is near the southeast corner. If there is a sudden danger, there are few escape exits. It seems that we need to design several escape routes in advance, just in case."
Then he looked up again and saw the slightly gloomy sky, and couldn't help but ask Xu Yanran.
"Junior sister Xu, after entering the city, did you feel uncomfortable, frightened, and wanting to avoid it?"
Xu Yanran thought seriously for a moment, blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "Senior brother, are you scared and want to run away?"
"Ahem..."
Zhao Heng, whose thoughts were read through, was speechless for a moment.
For some reason, Zhao Heng always felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered this small town.
Seemingly sensing Zhao Heng's uneasiness, Xu Yanran said comfortingly: "Senior Brother Zhao, don't be too afraid. I know you are a bit weak. If you encounter danger during the mission, I will protect you."
"You protect me?"
"Yes!"
Xu Yanran clenched a fist and tried to look brave.
"Senior Brother Zhao, don't worry. Before coming to the test, my family and my brother gave me many self-defense treasures to deal with those bad guys."
"Self-defense treasure!" Zhao Heng's eyes lit up.
Zhao Heng didn't need to ask any more questions. Xu Yanran picked up her fingers and counted them carefully without any hesitation.
"Yes, there are two amulets, a protective magic weapon, black crystals, and elixirs in my package..."
"Okay... okay, I got it!"
Zhao Heng stopped talking immediately. He realized that this girl was probably leaving home for the first time and dealing with outsiders. She was simple-minded and had no idea of the evil of human nature.
Then, Zhao Heng couldn't help but start the second analysis in his mind.
There were four people in the team, two self-righteous "dare-besotted people" and one "Little Virgin" who had just left home.
"Wait... the situation seems a little bad!"
