A few days later, Dongfang Mian, who was completely unaware of this, arrived at the Luo Qing Dynasty as agreed.
Perhaps because the Baili family was so shocked by the inexplicable massacre of the entire family by a powerful figure, the once bustling capital of the Luo Qing Dynasty became deserted.
The pedestrians on the road just kept their heads down and walked quickly, afraid of provoking someone they shouldn't have and bringing disaster upon their families.
The place Dongfang Mian is going to on this mission is Qingyou Ravine, a hundred miles outside the imperial city of the Luo Qing Dynasty. It is said that there is a reclusive family there that has been abducting young girls and using their blood essence for cultivation. Their cultivation methods are cruel and outrageous.
Dongfang Mian's mission this time was to investigate whether the situation was true. If it was true, he would report to the Luo Qing Dynasty, and they would send experts to wipe out this evil cultivator family.
The meeting point for this mission was a very famous restaurant in the imperial city of the Luo Qing Dynasty.
When Dongfang Mian arrived, there was already someone sitting in the designated spot, with a servant diligently pouring him drinks.
After looking around, Dongfang Mian hesitated for a moment. The man waved to her first, "Hey classmate, you're here to complete the freshman mission too, right?"
Dongfang Mian then stepped forward and said, "Yes, I am a new student on this mission. My name is Dongfang Mian. Are you also a new student on this mission?"
“No, I was seriously injured last year and missed the freshman mission, so I’m making up for it this year,” the man said casually.
"Oh," Dongfang Mian didn't delve into it and casually agreed. Then she asked, "Do you know how many people are left for this mission? Why hasn't anyone arrived yet? The time has already passed."
"There are only two of us on this mission," the man said, holding up two fingers. "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Yuwen Hao."
Two people? Dongfang Mian was taken aback. This was what the people from the Mission Hall meant by almost full!
“Alright, since that’s the case, if you’ve eaten your fill, let’s go and complete the mission,” Dongfang Mian said.
“No need to rush, there’s still plenty of time. Why don’t you sit down and have some with us? The dishes here are delicious and are a specialty of the Luo Qing Dynasty,” Yuwen Hao invited.
"No need, I'm not hungry. I'll wait for you outside," Dongfang Mian said, then turned and left.
Yuwen Hao's previously warm face instantly turned cold. He finished his wine, ate the last piece of meat on his plate, licked his lips, and chased after Dongfang Mian.
The two left the imperial city and headed towards Qingyou Ravine according to the route indicated by the mission. Dongfang Mian just stared at the route map without saying a word.
Yuwen Hao, who was standing to the side, started to make conversation. He first looked at Aju on Dongfang Mian's shoulder and said, "Is this your pet? A kitten? It's very cute."
"Meow~!" Aju slapped away Yuwen Hao's fingers that were reaching for him with a displeased expression.
“My beast has a bad temper and doesn’t like strangers touching it,” Dongfang Mian said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Then just throw it away. I'll help you catch another one. There are plenty of leopards in Qingyou Ravine. They're fast, aggressive, and you can ride them when you're tired," Yuwen Hao said enthusiastically.
While trying to calm down the agitated Aju, Dongfang Mian said, "No need, I'm not interested."
“Mian’er, you don’t seem to talk much,” Yuwen Hao said.
"First, don't call me Mian'er, please call me Dongfang Tongxue; second, I'm just here to complete a mission, not to chat with you; third, from now on, please shut your mouth and don't touch my beast again," Dongfang Mian stopped and looked at him coldly.
