Chapter 68: Outbound Mission



Experience can be gained through a lot of attempts.

After walking out of the martial arts gym, he had already put on the clothes belonging to Yubu and put on the mask.

When they arrived at the State Investigation Office, Dijiu Tieyu was still practicing martial arts in the yard outside, with his upper body bare, and he had the people in the inner yard holding a thick wooden stick and hitting him on the body, making a dull "bang bang bang" sound.

When he saw Wan Zhuliu walk in, he stopped and looked over quietly.

"Coming?"

Hearing the voice, Wan Zhuliu paused, said "hmm" politely, and prepared to continue walking inside.

Tieyu called out again, "Heiyu, I hope you don't take what happened that day to heart!"

"It's over long ago!" Wan Zhuliu replied indifferently.

"Anything else?"

Tie Yu was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Yesterday, the provincial government asked our Yu tribe to help them track down someone. Qing Yu led Team 12 to Pingyu, and this morning we received news... the entire team has lost contact!"

"oh?"

Wan Zhuliu's eyes flickered slightly, "How could this happen?"

"I can't explain it clearly in just a few words. Anyway, if anything happens to Qingyu, our Yu tribe will also be affected."

"Our Yu tribe has the support of Tianji Tower. Haven't we investigated the cause and the forces behind it?" Wan Zhuliu asked.

Tie Yu's brows furrowed. "This matter... the reasons behind it are very complicated. I suspect the perpetrators might be the Black Dragon King organization in Pingyu. However, Deputy Master Hong of our Luozhou Tianji Tower has some connection with the former leader of the Black Dragon King, so a lot of information... can't be found!"

"If that's the case... it's indeed troublesome!" Wan Zhuliu echoed, pondered for a moment, and did not respond.

"What I mean is, right now, only you, me, and the Eleventh Flying Feather are free. The three of us should take our respective teams and go there to find out what's going on with Qingyu. If we can help the state government find him, the reward will be quite high, and we'll split it equally among the three of us!"

“…”

After a brief silence, Wan Zhuliu shook his head and said, "Forget it. I haven't mastered the skills I obtained last time yet, so I can't go on missions."

“…”

Tieyu's mouth twitched. He didn't think anyone would really abide by this rule of the Feather Department.

After all, this regulation is only to enable the inspectors transferred from the management department to master the ability to protect themselves, and it is not a mandatory requirement.

Besides, Hei Yu’s skills are profound, enough to rank among the top eight in the Feather Department, so why bother about this?

He thought Wan Zhuliu was deliberately refusing, so he tried to persuade him again, "You've just formed Team 13. If you accept an overseas mission, even if it doesn't work out, you can still get a 10% advance payment from the state government. Even if it's only 10%, it's enough to tempt your team members. These warriors are really short of money. I advise you to reconsider!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu hesitated.

What the other party said makes sense.

His Thirteenth Team is now without any missions, which means that this group of people have no extra income to earn, and they must be very upset.

After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked towards Tieyu, "It's not impossible, but you have to give me 50% of the reward you get, otherwise, no deal!"

“Fifty percent?!”

Tieyu frowned, "Fifty percent... is not a small amount. I'll discuss it with Feiyu first and give you an answer later!"

"OK!"

Wan Zhuliu turned and entered his room, and found that the room was tidier and cleaner, and there were some more decorations.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Master Hei Yu, may I come in?"

It's the sound of a black crow.

"Um!"

The door was slowly pushed open from the outside. Hei Ya was dressed in black, but he was holding a flowery fan in his hand in a showy manner, similar to the style of his previous master Bai Yu.

"Sir, I'm so sorry that you haven't been at the Feather Department these past two days and I haven't been able to report to you on daily affairs!"

"It's okay, did anything important happen?"

"Nothing major has happened, except that Deputy Captain Lu Jiuyuan secretly accepted a few small missions!"

"Didn't you say that you have to report everything to me?" Wan Zhuliu frowned.

"Other teams don't care much about this kind of private mission, and Lu Jiuyuan is the deputy team leader. If you are not here, I will..." Hei Ya smiled helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu didn't say anything. Lu Jiuyuan was a troublemaker and he would have to find time to teach him a lesson before he would behave himself.

However, he is not in the mood to care about them recently.

"I might take an overseas mission. Is there any problem with the team members?" Wan Zhuliu suddenly asked.

"Outbound mission?!"

Black Crow was stunned for a moment, then his expression became a little strange, "Sir, you have an overseas mission so soon?"

"Why, is it strange?"

"Well, the last inspector of the Feather Department, the 12th Lord Qingyu, received his first overseas assignment a year after arriving at the Feather Department."

Wan Zhuliu waved his hand, "This mission wasn't assigned by the higher-ups. I'm collaborating with Tieyu and Feiyu!"

"Is that so..." Black Crow hesitated for a moment before speaking, "At most, the Thirteenth Team will be able to be called back in half an hour. Of course, except for Lu Jiuyuan. He's an elder in the Feather Tribe and isn't there most of the time. If there's a mission, he needs to be notified a day in advance."

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu frowned. "Here, there are no veterans or newcomers. I'm here to inform you all that anyone who doesn't return to the team unless there are special circumstances will be fined one hundred taels of silver."

"It's not good to be so cruel..."

"Can I give you a little less when we divide the money?" Wan Zhuliu looked at Hei Ya coldly.

Black Crow was startled and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Black Crow was rude. Please forgive me, sir. I will go and give the order right away!"

Wan Zhuliu waved his hand and said no more.

He took the feather talisman and went to the side hall behind the central hall to record the feather department.

When I entered the room, I saw the old man sitting behind the table again, seemingly dozing with his eyes closed.

"Is there something wrong?" the old man asked impatiently.

"Senior, I have some questions about my training and would like to consult you!"

Hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "This is not a martial arts hall, I can't answer your questions!"

Wan Zhuliu smiled faintly, took out all the gold leaves he had obtained from the Four Symbols Martial Arts School, and silently stuffed them into the hands of the old man.

Seeing this, the old man raised his eyebrows.

"Since you are sincere in seeking advice, I can answer three questions for you!"

Wan Zhuliu's face twitched.

So many gold leaves, only to answer three questions, what a profiteer!

However, he was still very polite on the surface, "Thank you, senior!"

"Stop talking nonsense and ask!"

Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu spoke directly, "I'd like to ask, if one has a sufficient Qi and Blood foundation, can one advance faster by simply practicing a technique that cultivates the true meaning of martial arts?"

"You are the only one with so many crooked ideas!"

The old man curled his lips and said, "You think you're the only one who's clever? This method has already been tried by others, and it doesn't work!"

"It doesn't work?"

"Do you think practicing martial arts is easy? I see it's been several days since you got the Yuehua Gong. How can you have the confidence and energy to learn a martial art at the true meaning level if you haven't even mastered it yet?"
