Chapter 114 The Cat Actively Requests for a Mission

He walked towards Bai Qingchen with steady steps and neat movements, a bright smile on his face and a firm and bright look in his eyes. He seemed to have been reborn.

Bai Qingchen was really surprised. Two years had passed and Chen Yi had changed so much.

Chen Yi walked up to him, smiled and bowed, "Junior Brother Bai, long time no see!"

"Senior Brother Chen," Bai Qingchen returned the greeting and looked him over.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother. It seems that your cultivation has recovered to a large extent."

He could feel the stable and abundant spiritual power fluctuations from Chen Yi. Although it seemed that he had not yet recovered to his peak state, he was definitely at the Jindan stage.

Chen Yi's smile widened. "This is all thanks to Junior Brother Bai. If you hadn't pointed me in the right direction, I'm afraid I would still be wasting my time on Hanyuan Peak."

At this moment, another person emerged from the crowd in a panic, straightening his crooked collar while complaining, "Brother Chen, how could you leave me behind and get away first? That's so mean!"

The person who came was Yan Shen, whom he had met once before in Jinxi City.

Yan Shen straightened his clothes and looked up to see Bai Qingchen. He was stunned for a moment before bowing and saying, "Brother Bai."

His attitude was much more respectful than the last time we met.

Bai Qingchen looked at the two people and asked curiously: "What are you doing...?"

Seeing that the crowd behind was about to gather around again, Chen Yi didn't have time to explain and grabbed Bai Qingchen's arm.

"Let's go first. I'll explain it to you on the way!"

After saying that, he actually summoned a flying sword and pulled Bai Qingchen up.

"Why?"

Before Bai Qingchen could react, he was taken off the ground.

"Brother Chen, wait for me!" Yan Shen also quickly summoned his flying sword and followed.

Only after flying a certain distance and completely shaking off the crowd below did the three of them land on a secluded platform.

Chen Yi let go of Bai Qingchen and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Bai."

Yan Shen took a breath and added, "It's all the fault of Liuyun Peak's Great Elder!"

Bai Qingchen thought, isn’t that Chen Yi’s master?

Chen Yi also sighed, his expression somewhat helpless and a little emotional: "In fact, Master and the others have already made a decision, they just asked me to provide cover to attract attention."

Yan Shen explained, "We have quite a few disciples from Liuyun Peak who meet the requirements to enter the North Sea Secret Realm. After consultation with the Peak Master and the elders, they decided to give one of the spots directly to Senior Brother Chen. As for the other spot... we'll let Senior Brother Chen decide for himself. They're euphemistically saying this is to train his ability to judge people and things."

Then Chen Yi was in trouble. Almost all the junior brothers and sisters who were interested in competing for this spot tried every means to show themselves in front of him these days, and hinted that they hoped Chen Yi would give them the spot.

This made Chen Yi very annoyed, so he had to avoid them.

"What about you?" Bai Qingchen looked at Yan Shen.

"I was implicated!" Yan Shen looked depressed when he talked about this.

"I was originally going out on a mission with Senior Brother Chen, but they blocked us halfway. It was such an unexpected disaster!"

Bai Qingchen smiled when he heard this: "Since the elders have already chosen a candidate, why do they still need Brother Chen to attract attention?"

He could see that although Chen Yi complained, he was not really unhappy.

Chen Yi nodded. "It's not convenient to disclose it in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble. Master and the others plan to submit the names directly before the deadline. They will act first and ask for permission later. During this period, they will have to rely on me to bear the pressure."

Bai Qingchen expressed his understanding and asked, "Brother, did you just say you were going out on a mission?"

Speaking of the mission, Chen Yi's expression became more serious: "Speaking of which, this mission is related to your Hanyuan Peak."

Bai Qingchen put away his smile and became serious: "Hanyuan Peak?"

Chen Yi explained, "About a day ago, the Deacon Hall received a distress signal from the Southern Xinjiang region. After identification by the elders within the hall, they confirmed that the signal symbol's pattern and spiritual energy fluctuations came from your Hanyuan Peak."

Bai Qingchen's heart sank slightly. Southern Xinjiang? Isn't that where the Xi family is located?

Chen Yi continued, "I've accepted this exploratory mission and need to head to the area where the signal was sent from in Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible to check the situation. I'll bring Yan Shen with me on this mission."

Although Yan Shen is younger than them, his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. He is good at tracking and hiding, and is a good helper.

Bai Qingchen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Senior Brother Chen, can I go on this mission?"

"Since the person who sent out the distress signal was a disciple of Hanyuan Peak, and I am also a member of Hanyuan Peak, it is neither reasonable nor logical for me to stay out of this matter." His reasons were sufficient.

Chen Yi looked at Bai Qingchen's resolute attitude and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's go to the Deacon Hall and meet up with the other disciples. They should be waiting."

Bai Qingchen nodded and followed Chen Yi and Yan Shen to the mission release point in the Deacon Hall.

When we arrived at the place, there were indeed two people waiting there.

Bai Qingchen had seen one of them before. It was Chen Xing, whom he had met once before at the foot of Hanyuan Peak.

But he was in cat form at that time, and Chen Xing had never seen him in human form.

The other person was wearing the attire of an inner sect disciple of the main peak. He had a handsome face but with an obvious arrogance between his brows. His cultivation had already reached the great perfection of foundation building and seemed to be only one step away from the golden elixir.

Chen Yi introduced in a low voice that this was the disciple of the second elder of Wendao Peak, named Xiao Jin.

When Xiao Jin saw Chen Yi and the others coming, he glanced over and saw Bai Qingchen. His brows immediately frowned, and his face showed undisguised dissatisfaction.

"Brother Chen, this mission is serious, not just a leisurely outing. Why are you bringing this..."

He looked Bai Qingchen up and down, the contempt in his eyes was obvious, "This kind of person is here to make up the numbers?"

There was a lot of disdain in his words.

Chen Yi's expression darkened, and his tone grew colder. "Junior Brother Xiao, I'll be leading this mission. I'll have my own considerations on whether I should stay or go. If you disagree with my decision, it's not too late to withdraw now."

Xiao Jin was choked and a trace of anger flashed across his face, but he seemed to be worried about something and finally swallowed his anger.

He just snorted coldly, stood aside with his arms folded, and no longer looked at Bai Qingchen.

Chen Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned to Bai Qingchen and Chen Xing and introduced them, "Junior Brother Bai, this is Junior Brother Chen Xing, who is from Hanyuan Peak just like you. Junior Brother Chen Xing, this is Bai Qingchen."

Bai Qingchen and Chen Xing looked at each other and nodded as a greeting, without saying much.

Of the five people present, except Bai Qingchen, who couldn't fly with a sword, the other four could. Chen Yi was just about to say that he would take Bai Qingchen with him.

But Chen Xing took the first step forward and silently summoned his flying sword, with a faint cold light on the sword.

He said nothing, just stood on the sword and looked at Bai Qingchen calmly, his meaning was very clear.

Bai Qingchen seemed not to understand his gesture. He walked to Chen Yi's flying sword naturally and said to Chen Yi, "Senior Brother Chen, thank you for your help."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Xing, then looked at Bai Qingchen, and nodded: "Okay."

When Chen Xing saw that Bai Qingchen chose to ride with Chen Yi, there was no expression on his face. He just silently took the lead in flying on his sword, turning into a stream of light and flying away.

Xiao Jin sneered at this, but couldn't help but taunt him in a low voice in a sarcastic tone.

"You can't even fly a sword, yet you dare to accept this kind of mission? Really..."

Bai Qingchen pretended not to hear it and let it go in one ear and out the other.

Chen Yi was annoyed by Xiao Jin's noise, so he increased his speed and chased after Chen Xing in front.

Seeing his senior brother leave, Yan Shen casually bowed to Xiao Jin and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

Seeing that everyone had left him behind and left first, Xiao Jin wanted to get angry but couldn't find anyone to attack. He could only stomp his feet in anger and fly after them on his sword. He felt even more dissatisfied with Bai Qingchen.

Five sword lights, one after another, cut through the sky and rushed towards the direction of southern Xinjiang.
