Yuan Ce looked at the book in his hand, his head buzzing and he could no longer hear any sound from the outside. Yi Fang, who was standing on the side, also stared at Shen Jinggu with wide eyes.
“Brother Yi, how did Brother Shen know this was my mission?”
Yuan Ce turned around and looked at Yi Fang beside him, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
Yi Fang clutched his wooden sign tightly in his palm, inevitably becoming nervous as he thought about his mission. If Senior Brother Shen knew Yi Fang's mission, he might also know his.
Thinking of what Chen Jinggu said before he left, "Take fewer messy tasks", Yi Fang panicked and guessed, could this be a warning from him?
Seeing Yi Fang frowning and not answering him, Yuan Ce stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Senior Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?" It was obviously he who was criticized, so why did it feel like Senior Brother Yi was more nervous than him?
Yi Fang's breath hitched, and he came back to his senses, "Nothing."
“I guess it’s because our purpose just now was too strong that made Senior Brother Shen suspicious.”
Yi Fang paused for a moment before continuing, but it was unclear whether he was comforting Yuan Ce or himself.
Hearing this answer, Yuan Ce calmed down a little.
Gongshantang actually does a very good job of keeping secrets. For example, for a single high-level task, a wooden sign can only be opened by one person's spiritual power. Even if the sign is snatched away by someone else, it will be useless.
Yuan Ce reacted and took another deep breath. He held the book in one hand and groped around his waist with the other hand. As he touched around, his brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
He raised his head stiffly and looked at Yuan Ce who was looking at him: "Senior Brother Yi..."
"Don't tell me you lost the sign."
Without waiting for Yuan Ce to finish his words, Yi Fangbian spoke first, his voice slightly raised, making Yuan Ce lower his head.
Seeing Yuan Ce's expression, Yi Fang knew that he had guessed right, and he couldn't help but slap his forehead in annoyance.
The task needs to be submitted using a wooden sign. If the wooden sign is lost, the task will be in vain.
To put it more bluntly, they simply made a show of themselves at Senior Brother Shen's place today, and they didn't even get paid for it.
"Don't worry, Brother Yi." Hearing the muffled sound, Yuan Ce looked up and saw Yi Fang's red forehead. He subconsciously said, "I'll take on this mission. I won't deduct your points."
Yi Fang was stunned. What he cared about was not the points being deducted, but the reputation points. Points can be earned by completing any task, but reputation points are not so easy to obtain.
"Have you forgotten that if you fail this mission, you won't be able to take on higher-level missions anymore?"
Yuan Ce's body stiffened slightly. Looking at Yi Fang who looked a little anxious, he realized that he had misunderstood.
Yi Fang was still waiting for Yuan Ce's answer. Looking at the depressed Yuan Ce, he sighed, "Would you like to think about where you put the wooden sign after you took it?"
"Like your storage ring?"
Yuan Ce shook his head: "No, I remember it clearly. I put the wooden sign on my waist."
As he spoke, Yuan Ce's hand fell to his waist and fumbled around again, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
Yi Fang looked at the honest Yuan Ce with a puzzled expression and sighed again. He looked at the frail young man and thought for a moment, "Jump a little and see if it fell into your pants."
When Yuan Ce heard this, he subconsciously felt that it was impossible, but he still jumped up slightly. At this time, Yi Fang's eyes were fixed on Yuan Ce's feet, wondering if the wooden sign would fall down.
Two minutes passed, and the two men still found nothing except a pile of trampled grass.
"Forget it." Yuan Ce could feel that the wooden sign was not on him and didn't want to worry about it anymore.
Yi Fang's brows suddenly furrowed, and as if he had caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, he grabbed Yuan Ce's arm and said, "Wait."
"Look, is that your sign?"
Yi Fang turned Yuan Ce around and pointed to an area at the gate of the courtyard.
Yuan Ce looked in the direction Yi Fang pointed, and as expected, he saw a small, black piece of wood.
The opportunity was a moment, and the two understood the real reason why their purpose was exposed just now.
Yuan Ce coughed twice in an extremely unnatural way, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he picked up the wooden sign: "It must have been dropped accidentally just now."
Yi Fang didn't say much, just nodded: "Well, it's all right if you find it. Hurry up and hand in the book."
Yuan Ce did not refute when he heard this, but just glanced at the "Correcting Eighty-Eight Wrong Paths in Cultivating Immortality" in his hand, and frowned slightly again.
He doesn't seem to have seen this book in the Sutra Repository?
At that moment, curiosity got the better of him and Yuan Ce couldn't help but place his fingertips on the title page.
Yi Fang on the side wanted to stop it when he saw this, but when he thought that this was indeed given to the two of them by Senior Brother Shen, he let Yuan Ce do it.
Yuan Ce's fingers trembled slightly. He looked at Yi Fang again. Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, he turned to the first page with the thought that this might be a particularly profound and powerful mental method.
Um……
