After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Wuyuan's reply, his figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Wuyuan watched him leave, silently wishing him a successful mission, then randomly chose a direction and turned to leave.
After all, he didn't know where the swallowtail grass was, so he decided to just walk around and see.
——
The Huo residence, study.
Huo Qianshan looked at Yang Hongguang, who was being escorted in, with a calm expression that made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Now that things have come to this, you should know why you've fallen to this state, so I won't go into details." Huo Qianshan looked at Yang Hongguang's sinister expression and chuckled softly. "You're quite bold to dare to touch the Huo family, after all, even your elder brother, the head of the family, wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
"Look, I made a simple deal with him, and you got your life in return."
"The victor is king, the loser is villain; I have nothing to say." Yang Hongguang composed himself, knowing he couldn't escape. "But spare my only son."
"I thought you knew I wasn't here to negotiate." Huo Qianshan ignored Yang Hongguang's demands.
He has never been a soft-hearted person; even a three-year-old understands the principle of eliminating problems completely.
They could have quietly killed Yang Hongguang, but Huo Qianshan was curious about how Yang Hongguang had found out about Jiang Wuyuan and Huo Ling, so he brought him over.
It's okay if Yang Hongguang doesn't want to talk about it, after all, he can—
"Soul Search".
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Yang Hongguang's head was held in Huo Qianshan's hand, and he could not break free, so he could only let out painful screams.
During a soul search, the person being searched must endure immense soul pain; those who cannot withstand it may die on the spot.
Of course, even if you manage to get through it, the outcome isn't great; the best-case scenario is developing dementia.
After a moment, Huo Qianshan withdrew his hand, a slight crack appearing on his usually composed expression.
It was... a night owl?!
The communicator passed down in the family, entrusted to him by his father before his death.
It came from an owl!
He vividly remembered the fleeting light on the communicator a while ago. The shape and even the material of that communicator were exactly the same as the one Yang Hongguang remembered for contacting Yingyue.
Huo Qianshan used all his strength to barely keep his expression steady. He waved his hand, signaling the people waiting nearby to drag Yang Hongguang's body away and dispose of it.
At that moment, he was extremely grateful that Huo Ling was out shopping because school was starting and therefore not present.
Going to Zhan Tian Academy is also a good option.
Being far away means you don't have to face the unknown risks from that largest evil organization.
Huo Qianshan's gaze was deep and somber.
He raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky through the beautiful French windows in the study.
At this moment, the sunlight was shrouded in dark clouds.
——
Two days later, Jiang Wuyuan returned to Zhantian Academy.
He successfully found the trail of swallowtail grass on the edge of a cliff, and not only harvested ten plants to complete the mission, but also kept a lot of extra stock.
Swallowtail grass is of no use to him; it's a material needed by alchemists, so Jiang Wuyuan could easily sell it for a good price.
“The Xuan-rank 17 mission and the Xuan-rank 76 mission together are worth 500 credits. The Xuan-rank 1 mission…” Yan Shengzi glanced at it briefly, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and finally understood why Ruan Kongyin valued Jiang Wuyuan. “The first mission earned a total of 2768 credits. Add all the credits together and multiply by two, for a total of 6536 credits.”
Yan Shengzi's eyes held a hint of envy.
This is instant wealth!
Jiang Wuyuan, this Warcraft harvester, is practically here to harvest academic credits.
"Keep your student card safe, junior~" Yan Shengzi handed the student card back, her breath sweet as orchids, and gave Jiang Wuyuan a flirtatious wink with a light laugh, "Junior~ what do you think of your older sister?"
Jiang Wuyuan froze, his indifferent expression almost shattering.
When has he ever been teased like this by a girl?
"I'm leaving now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wuyuan activated his Rainbow Steps technique and shot forward dozens of meters.
Yan Shengzi's bright and beautiful face was even more radiant with her smile.
This adorable little swordsman is so irresistible, it's impossible not to be captivated by him.
——
After leaving the mission pavilion, Jiang Wuyuan flew on his sword all the way to the Jubao Tower.
It's time to realize the previously planned upgrades to Star Devourer and the inlay of Boundary Stones.
This was Jiang Wuyuan's first time entering the Treasure Pavilion.
As its name suggests, the Treasure Pavilion is filled with gold, making it look very expensive.
There were many counters, and Jiang Wuyuan randomly picked one and walked over.
He was scared after being teased by Yan Shengzi, so he chose a counter managed by a male staff member.
"Hi, is there anything you need to buy?"
Jiang Wuyuan asked, "Can we sell things here?"
"That's fine, but we won't accept items that are too low-grade," Liu Wangcai explained with a smile.
Jiang Wuyuan took out a spatial ring and handed it to him: "Calculate the price, and then I'll buy some more things."
"Okay." Liu Wangcai took the ring with both hands and opened it to take a look.
Several first- and second-tier blood crystals, a relatively complete purple snakeskin, and some various herbs.
Liu Wangcai silently calculated the price in his mind.
"First and second-tier blood crystals aren't expensive, but there's plenty of them. This snakeskin is of good quality, and the herbs are very fresh," Liu Wangcai concluded. "It'll cost 1150 credits in total. Is that acceptable, classmate?"
Jiang Wuyuan nodded and handed over the student card: "I need a craftsman, do you have one here?"
Liu Wangcai looked at Jiang Wuyuan with surprise: "Of course, the life skills professions at our Zhantian Academy are also exceptional, and crafting masters are indispensable. I wonder what level you want? The prices of crafting masters vary depending on their level."
