Chapter 489 Host, assault mission, why aren't you moving? (Second update)
She had been living on Shensuan Mountain for several days, but she never expected to meet Yan Ruyu until today.
She had assumed that Yan Ruyu, given her personality, would have come looking for her the moment she heard she was on the mountain, eager to tell her everything that had happened.
But to my utter surprise, the woman ran away as soon as she saw her.
This was something she hadn't expected.
Yan Ruyu stopped when she heard her voice behind her.
There was no one around.
She turned her head timidly and saw Xiao Tang standing not far away with his arms crossed, looking at her with a puzzled expression. She then weakly explained, "I was worried that if I greeted you here, it would make you lose face."
Xiao Tang scoffed lightly.
He walked up to her nonchalantly and asked, "What are you saying? How could I possibly lose face?"
The more I listen to this, the more outrageous it seems.
If this girl hadn't said those words, she could have joked with Yan Ruyu. But now she was too immersed in the situation and was forcing herself to feel displeased.
Yan Ruyu shrugged and said in a humble tone, as if she had fallen into the dust, "I took your recommendation letter, but I've accomplished nothing. I still can't even get started."
When this was mentioned, she counted her fingers with a wronged expression.
Let alone Xiao Tang herself.
Normally, when the disciples heard that she had Xiao Tang's letter of recommendation, they would all show a look of disdain, thinking that she was bragging.
Given that, it wasn't wrong of her to instinctively take a detour when she saw Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang thought this girl thought quite a lot.
She clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Am I the kind of person you think I am? Someone who cares about saving face?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head.
Stunned and dumbfounded.
"That's settled then, why are you hiding?"
Yan Ruyu was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Hearing Xiao Tang's words, she suddenly felt that she was being a bit redundant in hiding.
"Sister Tangtang, I really tried my best... but now I can only talk about it on paper. I can't even see or sense ghosts, let alone catch them."
"Mysticism isn't about catching ghosts."
"I'm even less capable of fortune telling now!" the woman replied, looking quite discouraged.
Xiao Tang was angered by her words, "Big sister, nothing can be accomplished overnight. You're destined to learn badly if you're so eager for quick success. Listen to me, you better study hard."
These words didn't seem to have any profound meaning, but they inexplicably moved Yan Ruyu.
I don't know why she suddenly nodded so enthusiastically, as if she'd been injected with adrenaline, "You're right!"
"I'm going back to cultivate now!"
Without giving Xiao Tang another chance to speak, she ran away.
Xiao Tang watched her hurried figure, her lips twitching slightly, and in the end, all that remained was a helpless sigh.
Although Yan Ruyu is hardworking, unfortunately, she is far from talented.
That night.
Xiao Tang sat in the room and glanced at the rule book handed to him by the elder.
Just then, a dark figure swept past the door.
Her hand holding the booklet paused for a moment.
[Host~ You've received a surprise mission. Please rescue the man outside the door immediately. The system will reward you with 1000 points.]
The man outside?
That dark figure?
Xiao Tang didn't even raise an eyebrow, continuing to casually flip through the booklet in her hand.
Unmoved!
[Host, why aren't you moving?]
Why should I move?
She looked completely innocent.
Please, 1000 points is way too much for her; she doesn't want that many at all.
Previously, people would rush to accumulate points directly.
Now I'm worried about how to spend all my points...
It wasn't easy for her!
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have accumulated so many points in the first place.
There's nowhere to spend flowers now.
The system was probably really angered by her. [Host, how could you do this? You're throwing away points that are practically handed to you? Are you still the Xiao Tang I know?]
No, it's not...
What if the host suddenly gives up?
The system was yelling in Xiao Tang's ear, making it seem like some kind of madness was raging to the side.
How would you feel if you drove a dog-like system crazy?
Xiao Tang felt incredibly happy.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "You want me to save people? Fine, then tell me what the tenth task is."
[Host, we need to proceed step by step. We have to complete one thing before moving on to the next, right?]
The system is so verbose.
Xiao Tang didn't answer, naturally not wanting to waste any more time with the dog system.
She got up.
The door wasn't locked to begin with, but the dark figure suddenly pushed it open, darted inside, and closed the door behind him.
He leaned against the door, his taut nerves still on edge.
Xiao Tang recognized him.
He's one of the disciples today; I think I heard someone call him Senior Brother?
Although the man's gray-white Taoist robe was simple, it could not completely conceal his handsome face.
Although she is quite beautiful, she has no feminine features whatsoever.
It should be the kind of girl Xue Furong likes the most...?
"Sect Leader, I'm sorry, please let me stay for a while."
The man knew he had been presumptuous, but he had no other choice but to clasp his hands together and ask Xiao Tang for help.
The pleading look in his eyes was a world apart from the resolute image of the eldest disciple he projected during the day among his fellow disciples.
Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who's chasing you?"
He said with difficulty, "Then Junior Sister Xue..."
The words had barely left his mouth when suddenly—
Bang!
A black hand suddenly pierced through the door and reached towards him.
"Senior Brother, don't hide, I need you now." It really was Xue Furong's voice.
