"I agree!"
"Hidden mission: Kill Miao Xiaodie, leader of the Five Immortals Sect. The host has accepted the mission. There is no time limit for the hunt; you can complete it at any time."
"Holy crap! The system is issuing another kill mission? Is it because the existence of the Five Immortals Sect is affecting the plot development of this world?"
"The system cannot provide an answer."
"Did Miao Xiaodie, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, offend you?"
"The system cannot provide an answer."
Xiao Yuhan immediately sensed something was wrong. Why would the system ask him to kill someone? Although the Five Immortals Sect had virtually no role in the original story, if it didn't have any impact, why would the system issue such a task?
Is it possible that the system also lacks the ability to completely control the development of this world?
However, Miao Xiaodie is also very mysterious. In the original work, she is only vaguely described as very powerful, so powerful that even the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect is unwilling to provoke her easily. The description of this leader of the Five Immortals Sect may not exceed two hundred words in the entire book.
Therefore, Xiao Yuhan was still quite uncertain, but since she was going to the Five Immortals Sect anyway, she thought it best to go and find out for herself.
Inside the carriage, Bai Yao stood guard beside Xiao Yuhan, while Nangong Ling'er sat outside accompanying Liu Jiantang, who was driving the carriage.
"Master...are you feeling better?"
Xiao Yuhan looked at the little girl and sensed that Bai Yao's gaze towards him had been somewhat different lately, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He then said, "I'm alright, your teacher is hungry!"
"Hey! Master, these are pastries that Yao'er prepared in advance. We can't cook cooked food on the carriage right now, so please make do with these for now."
Xiao Yuhan took the fruit and pastries and ate them directly. They tasted very good, and he could tell at a glance that they were made by the girl herself. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then asked, "I haven't asked about your cultivation for a long time. What realm have you reached now?"
"Replying to Master, I have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and recently there have been faint signs of breaking through to the Core Formation stage."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was completely stunned. He thought to himself, "Is the protagonist's halo really that strong?" His two senior brothers and sisters had only recently entered the Golden Core stage, and this girl was about to enter the Golden Core stage after only two years of cultivation?
He could only suppress his surprise and nodded, saying, "It's alright, but why didn't you tell your master before you entered the Golden Core stage? Did you think forming a Golden Core was so easy?"
Bai Yao lowered her head, "Master didn't specifically say anything...and I didn't dare to bother Master, so..."
"Hmph! Do you even respect your master? Such a significant matter as Core Formation, and you didn't even bother to ask about it!"
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er's voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Senior Brother Xiao, why are you so harsh on Yao'er? If you care, just say so. Can't you speak properly?"
Xiao Yuhan thought to herself that if she spoke properly, who knew what kind of trouble that damn system would cause her, so she replied, "Junior sister, don't worry about it!"
Nangong Ling'er gave a soft hum, understood and laughed, and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Yuhan then said, "Bai Yao, remember this well: every breakthrough in your cultivation path is extremely important. If you have any questions in the future, remember to ask your master in advance."
Bai Yao lowered her head, muttering with some grievance, "Yao'er always thought Master disliked me... so she didn't dare to ask about anything that wasn't very important..."
Who could bear to scold her when she looked so wronged? But thinking about it now, it's actually quite good. The old Bai Yao used to cry after just a few words of scolding. Now she probably knows that he doesn't really want to bully her, so he's no longer as afraid as before.
Xiao Yuhan couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he took out one of his notebooks and said, "This is my notebook from when I was in the Golden Core stage. You're also cultivating the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, so this will be very useful to you. Also, keep up your cultivation. In two years, it will be the sect's martial arts competition. At that time, I'll beat up all those stupid disciples of your senior uncles and senior aunts one by one!"
Holding the notebook given to her by Xiao Yuhan, Bai Yao's eyes widened, because she could sense the expectation and hope in her master's tone. She immediately murmured to herself, "So Master values me this much..."
"System notification: 1,000 points deducted, 10,000 points remaining."
Xiao Yu sneered, "I knew you were going to deduct points, you're not even going to bother explaining that I violated the rules this time? You're just going to deduct points directly!"
"Host, you're quite perceptive. Since you understand perfectly, there's no need for the system to explain further. You get it!"
