"So what? You also said that I am just the eldest sister, not your parents or elders, nor your master, and certainly not a stepping stone on your path of cultivation."

Ran Miaolan would not indulge these two people. She felt annoyed when she saw them, so she just spoke bluntly.

After hearing this, Li Qianqian and Mo Wanfeng looked unhappy. Du Lele, who was standing by, also saw that these three people were from the same sect, but they just didn't get along with each other. He stepped forward at the right time and said,

"These two Daoists, Daoist Miaolan has agreed to join our mission team."

"Then I want to join in too!"

Mo Wanfeng interrupted Du Lele before he could finish his words.

Li Qianqian, who was standing by, secretly hated him but didn't show it on her face. She nodded to indicate that she wanted to join as well.

Ran Miaolan was almost laughing out of anger. If they were not in the city, she would have drawn her sword long ago. They were as sticky as candies.

After hearing this, Du Lele showed a trace of embarrassment, but still explained politely:

"I'm sorry, you two. I didn't explain myself clearly. Our team has already received the mission. We are only short of a teammate who is in the late stage of foundation building. That's why I specially invited Fellow Daoist Miaolan."

The implication is: Your cultivation is low and our team doesn’t need you.

These words made Mo Wanfeng and Li Qianqian look a little ugly. It was an undeniable fact that their cultivation was lower than Ran Miaolan's.

After hearing what Du Lele said, Ran Miaolan immediately felt relieved. After all, it was not her who stopped the two from joining the task force, but the other team looked down on them.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, but this was exactly the effect Du Lele wanted. After all, she stood in front and rescued Ran Miaolan, leaving a good impression on the other party. This would make it easier for her to approach the other party and even build trust with the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Miaolan, please come with me to meet our teammates first and get to know each other."

Du Lele just wanted to get Ran Miaolan into his team, so he turned around and made a suggestion to Ran Miaolan with a smile.

Things have changed from Ran Miaolan taking a look at the overall situation of their team first to getting familiar with her teammates. There is a big difference between the two.

This time Ran Miaolan did not refuse. The two of them left the mission hall without looking back.

Mo Wanfeng was a little unwilling, but Li Qianqian was very happy. Ran Miaolan, who was an eyesore, left, which was convenient for her to cultivate feelings with Senior Brother Mo. However, she did not show it and pretended to be very depressed and said:

"Brother Mo, it's clear that the eldest sister doesn't want to take us with her. She must think that our cultivation is too low and we can't help her during the training. This is really the reality. I don't know how she got the position of the eldest sister."

Mo Wanfeng also frowned in annoyance. He was not a fool and knew that the problem lay with Li Qianqian. If Li Qianqian had not followed him, if he was alone, maybe the senior sister would have taken him with her, and he would have lost such a good trial opportunity. He was also very angry.

So this time he didn't respond, but turned around and entered the mission hall to see if there were any tasks he could take on. He would make plans after entering the Yonghe Mountains. At this time, he had already decided to kill Li Qianqian, but he certainly couldn't be the one to do it. He planned to use the monster to get rid of the trouble of Li Qianqian.

After seeing Mo Wanfeng's attitude, Li Qianqian gritted her teeth and finally followed him into the mission hall.

On the other side, Du Lele led Ran Miaolan to a teahouse and said as they walked:

"Fellow Daoist Miaolan, what I said just now was just a temporary measure. It doesn't mean that you must join our mission team. It's still the same as what I said before. Wait until you meet your teammates, and then you can decide whether to join us."

"I understand Daoyou Du's good intentions, and I also want to thank you for helping me get rid of those two people just now."

Ran Miaolan smiled and thanked them. She should be grateful for the help given to her by others.

“Daoist Miaolan, you are too polite. I am also a disciple of the sect. Their intentions are too obvious. They just want to train with Daoist Miaolan and take advantage of him.

Since they call you "Big Sister", you naturally can't just stand by and watch if you encounter danger. However, the Yonghe Mountains are full of dangers, and you have to be extremely cautious. If you bring them with you, the danger will probably double, so it is wise not to bring them with you.

Besides, anything can happen during the training process, and it is not appropriate to rely on anyone else. It is safest to rely on yourself."

Du Lele always manages to make her words reasonable and not annoying, which is why she has a group of low-level fellow disciples standing by her side in the outer and inner sects.

"Fellow Daoist Du is right. The path of cultivation is to fight against the heavens. I cannot replace them, and they cannot replace me, so it is better for us to practice separately."

Ran Miaolan actually agreed with Du Lele's opinion. By the time she met the members of the task force, they had already become familiar with each other.

At this time, Qiao Hao, Lian Yi and his party had already arrived in Yonghe City. This time they had received a mission, so before entering the city, everyone deliberately lowered their cultivation level and disguised themselves as casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining before entering the city.

Although the group of five people had concealed their cultivation, they were still unable to hide their brilliance, so when they sat in the teahouse in the city, they had already been noticed by many people.

Lian Yi's divine sense swept through them and sent a message to them:

"Everyone, we are still attracting too much attention. It would be better if we cover up our appearance next time."

Sun Lanlan also noticed the surrounding monks' vague gazes on their table, and she brushed her hair before replying:

"Senior sister is right. We are all beautiful jades. Our brilliance will not be obscured by hiding our cultivation."

I still feel a little proud of myself.

Qiao Hao didn't reply at all. Zhao Mingyu and Xiao Shanhe looked at each other without commenting.

"Alas, this makes it inconvenient for us to secretly investigate the situation in Yonghe City."

Sun Lanlan added another sentence.

This time Qiao Hao sent a message directly to everyone:

"We will work in groups of two and see how much we can find out."

Lianyi was the first to respond:

"Brother, I'd rather be in the same group with my Cyclone."

"I'm in a group with Shanhe."

"Then I will be in a group with Senior Brother Qiao."

Everyone quickly formed a team and agreed to meet up at the teahouse on the third day. Lianyi was the first to leave.

After leaving the teahouse, Lianyi chose a direction and disappeared from everyone's sight. Several people in the teahouse flickered their eyes, and finally two people followed Lianyi and left.

When Qiao Hao and the other three saw it, they didn't take it seriously, nor did they try to stop them or tell Lian Yi. They felt that these Qi Refining cultivators were simply courting their own death.

After Lianyi walked across a street, she released Tornado, still holding it in her arms, walking and stopping along the way, not caring about the people following her, because Shijiu had just reminded her that Du Lele was in the nearby Yonghe Mountains, and seemed to have found a new target.

"She's really stubborn and stubborn. It seems that Daddy didn't hurt her too lightly last time."

Lianyi narrowed her eyes and said.

"Are you going to stop it?"

"Of course, I came out this time just for her." (End of this chapter)
