Chapitre 94: Accepting missions
After sitting on his chair, Ning Qi finally took out his mobile to call Yi Ran first.
"Hello--"
That call got connected faster than he expected. But after he said 'hello' there was no other reply from the other side.
"I'm sorry!"
Ning Qi simply said sorry, as he thought that Yi Ran was angry because he kept them in the dark regarding his cultivation journey.
On the other side, Yi Ran, who didn't know how to respond to Ning Qi initially, was surprised by his apology. She thought he was apologizing for not coming to their rescue in person.
"It's alright! Your D-disciple said that you are doing something important. But we never know that you are someone like that... I don't know how to phrase that."
Yi Ran's soft voice came from the other side, instantly making Ning Qi realize he may have misunderstood her. But he also felt a bit troubled by the fact that this woman is angry about his not coming in person.
He is, after all, still unable to decide for her. He wants to start a relationship with her, but his heart is kind of a mess.
He thinks he's a cultivator now, so he can have multiple wives, doesn't he? Then he thought that as a civilized human being, it was unethical and not good for his other half.
Not to mention that Su Xiao has already thought of starting a relationship with her. But she has only been dropping a message or two once a week, not even calling him.
He doesn't know what's happening with her. He wanted to call but decided not to disturb her.
'Nevermind! Let's go with the flow and see what it entails for me in the future.' Ning Qi shook his head and thought to himself that just those thoughts were kind of giving him a big headache.
"Hm! I'll explain it to you later. It's just recently that I encountered a chance and got into this... So, let's meet this Saturday or Sunday for a coffee or meal at my place."
Ning Qi proposed after thinking for a moment. He naturally invites her to the sect because they already know about the sect.
"Are you only going to invite Ran? Not me, and even your best friend?" The tone of the voice abruptly shifted from soft to bitter. Jia Li is just acting bitter.
She has been listening to their conversation since Yi Ran got the call.
"I'm inviting all of you, Jia. Also, tell Old Li too, or else that guy will come here directly to cause trouble. I just want to avoid him until next Saturday."
'giggle' 'giggle'
"Sure, Sure! I have been very curious about this for some time. I even thought of asking Ping to go to your place tomorrow, wanting to unravel the mystery behind your mysteries, mysterious man."
Jia Li and Yi Ran giggled at his request. But the next few words from Jia Li made Ning Qi sweat a bit.
"Alright! I have something to do. So, let's meet this Saturday, alright?" Ning Qi decided to end the call as soon as possible.
"Alright! Don't worry, I'll restrain Ping until then, bye."
Again, the voice shifted to a soft one as Yi Ran took the mobile from Jia Li.
"Hm! Bye. Cya later."
Ning Qi finally disconnected the call as he kept looking at his mobile with random thoughts flashing in his mind.
"I want these two missions." Nangong Xu pondered for some time before he pointed at the Mission - 2 in easy ones and then at the Mission - 2 in medium difficulty ones.
The first one is okay, as it is just to track down a serial killer. Even though it may cause a bit of a headache, it won't be life-threatening.
But the second point he pointed out is a bit harder, as there is a chance that the enemy sect may have a foundation establishment realm cultivator.
"Did you hit your head somewhere, little brother?"
Ning Jing as she placed her hand on Nangong Xu's forehead. But he didn't flinch even a bit, as there was a kind of determination and stubbornness in his eyes.
Wen Fen slowly tugged at Ning Jing as she saw her about to blabber more, instantly stopping her.
"Are you sure, Nangong? Do you think it's worth the risk to take on that mission? I mean, we're still in the early stages of cultivation... We still have a lot of time to gain experience."
Shen Yue spoke as she unknowingly felt a pang of fear in her heart. She had never seen or known this man to be so determined.
Even though she knows that he is a bit adventurous and a risk-taker for trekking all around those forests and mountains in the name of trekking,
"You all don't need to worry about that! I have a certain confidence that I can at least escape in case of danger, and there are still 10 days left for this mission."
When he saw how concerned they were, Nangong Xu felt a little warm in his heart. Even though he has parents, they are just parents for the sake of being parents. And also, they are just sending money to his account too, just for the sake of sending it and fulfilling the role of 'parents'.
It has been more than 20 days since he joined this sect, but his mother has only called him once. His father just sent him a message to see whether he was alive or not.
But he isn't the type of guy who wallows in his worries. He went through a period where he hated them, but he slowly adjusted himself and learned to find happiness in whatever he did. That is also one of the reasons he took up trekking.
"I'm just worried that you guys may fight me for these two missions. I will undoubtedly accept the defense mission, as both of you have even fewer chances of completing it. But if you want the easy one, I will leave it."
Nangong Xu said as he looked at them, asking for their opinions.
Shen Yue and Kang Xuan shook their heads, while Ning Jing simply felt that it's good if she can also participate in the missions.
Wen Fen and Kang Jia are a bit too weak, and they also felt that just looking at those missions. Even the first mission of the easy missions is difficult for them to complete.
"Alright then--"
Shen Yue and Kang Xuan said at the same time that they felt they wouldn't be able to change the decision of this senior brother of theirs. They decided to let Ning Qi decide on this.
They both looked at each other after saying those words, before seals flashed on their hands. They also moved at the same time and hurriedly jumped to the same mission.
"You lost on this one, junior brother."
Shen Yue smiled as she made it to the mission first, followed by Kang Xuan a moment later.
As soon as she flashed her seal on the mission, she felt a connection to it, and all the details of the mission soon embedded themselves in her mind, surprising her a bit.
But she is not that surprised by that, as she knows this kind of knowledge transfer is possible from Ning Qi and the astral technique chapters. But to do such things, one needs to be at least in the soul transformation realm.
Kang Jia went towards her father, who had just landed back on the ground, to hold his hand. But his face isn't disappointed. Instead, it is filled with a smile too, surprising everyone.
"I believe I am the winner of this senior sister. I now have complete knowledge of the mission in my head, and I also feel a connection with this board."
Kang Xuan said as he patted Kang Jia, whose face also lit up.
"I also have it here." Shen Yue said glumly as she pointed her finger at her brow.
Everyone went silent for a moment and looked at each other.
"I believe both of you have received the mission, or to put it another way, a group mission." Wen Fen pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Hm! Hm!" Ning Jing also nodded enthusiastically.
"That's good too! I never expected you both to go on a medium-level mission too. Medium level means it will be a hard mission to complete, just like mine. But since there are two of you now, it will reduce the difficulty a bit."
Nangong Xu expressed his surprise that these two are so competitive. Their strength still has a certain distance between it and his, after all.
"That is the only medium-level mission that looks doable for me. The remaining two are a bit far. Who would have thought that..." Shen Yue grumbled as she looked at Kang Xuan.
Kang Xuan smiled a bit wryly as he also thought the same thing.
"It's better to do it together, senior sister. We can also improve our cooperation and gain experience doing a group mission." Kang Xuan said nothing for a moment before expressing himself.
"Good thinking! Junior brother Kang. Do you guys want to take any other missions? Of course, there is only one mission left that is doable by us."
Nangong Xu asked as he eyed the first mission. He decided not to touch it because doing so would deprive the two of them of food. He has his share and doesn't want to become a greedy senior brother.
"Then--" Both of them again said the same thing, instantly making everyone dumbfounded. Ning Jing especially felt it was very interesting, as she kept looking at their next action again without blinking.
"Alright, junior brother. Let's take this mission as a group mission as well."
Shen Yue said as she looked at Kang Xuan bitterly. If it was Nangong Xu instead of Kang Xuan, she would have already started rampaging with rage.
But she held a certain respect for Kang Xuan for his age from the very start.
"If you want--" Kang Xuan opened his mouth to say that you can take this mission solo. but he got cut by Shen Yue instantly.
"It's alright, junior, brother! We are doing this together." As she said that, she jumped to the mission section again. Kang Xuan also nodded his head before jumping to register the mission.
The remaining people looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and Nangong Xu also quickly registered his missions.
"Let's go! Let's go... My brother just messaged me to say that he has ordered breakfast. I'm feeling quite hungry, and we also have to go to college. Jia Jia also has school."
Ning Jing said as she rushed to the second floor, while everyone slowly walked while chatting.
