Something is wrong!
Although both of them had an attitude of being nice to each other, Tu Nian inexplicably felt that there was a tense atmosphere between them, especially Chu Qiurong. It was not like he would say such words as to drive someone away.
Xenophobia? Annoyance?
Tu Nian was unsure, but he didn't want to make Bo Qiu, who had just arrived, feel uncomfortable. He was about to say something, but Bo Qiu responded directly and clearly.
"Very good."
He stood up and strolled to Tu Nian's side, lowering his head. "A Nian, I'll wait for you outside."
Bo Qiu was tall, a whole head taller than Tu Nian. When he spoke like this, his magnetic voice seemed to pass through Tu Nian's crown and reach her brain directly, making her spine tingle.
"I understand." Tu Nian gritted his teeth.
Taking in her slightly stiff body, Bo Qiu curled his lips in satisfaction and left gracefully.
Tu Nian didn't know how pleasing her expression was in his eyes at that moment. She only knew that if this guy ran out of options one day, he could just become a gigolo. With his talent, he would definitely be the one with the busiest schedule in the brothel.
There's something wrong with these two!
It may not be accurate to say that there is ambiguity, but there is definitely some pulling and pulling. Whether it is one-sided or mutual, Nie Yanchen is very interested in this, and his gossip radar is very professionally raised.
"Where does this person come from?"
She spoke somewhat coldly, and Chu Qiurong's displeasure was clearly audible.
Tu Nian's mind had just cooled down, and he didn't hear anything wrong, so he casually replied: "I met a friend at the stall recently, but there's nothing special about his background."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something, smiled inwardly, and added calmly, "But his brothel business is pretty good. If it's just about money, I'm sure he can help a lot."
"Brothel?"
Chu Qiurong's eyes, which had been filled with hostility, suddenly cleared up. Then, he thought of the way the man had stared at him when he first entered the room, and shuddered. "Then he must be..."
"Yes! That's right!" Tu Nian agreed without even thinking.
It’s a misunderstanding, let’s make the misunderstanding more thorough!
Tu Nian's restraint, coupled with Chu Qiurong's free expression, and with this kind of imagination that didn't care about Bo Qiu's life or death, Chu Qiurong finally lost all her guard.
"I see. When you have the chance in the future, take Master to visit your friend so that he can broaden his horizons." He patted Tu Nian's shoulder and smiled.
"cough!"
Because he had no confidence, a certain sect leader who had been acting invisible tried to make his presence felt.
"Oh, yes," Chu Qiurong belatedly remembered the important matter and took out a piece of brown paper from her bosom and handed it to Tu Nian, "Master called you back mainly for this."
"Demon Clan Bounty Order?" Tu Nian recognized it and suddenly realized, "To earn bounty money?"
There are both good and evil aspects in practicing Taoism. If one's mind is disturbed, one will become a demon. After falling into the demon world, one will practice with the blood, energy and essence of living people and monsters. The practice methods are bloody and cruel, and the power gained is much more treacherous than spiritual power.
The demon clan is an organization of these fallen demons and those born as monsters. They are a faction of their own and are distributed all over the world of immortal cultivation. Among them, Dongzhenxu is the most famous and can almost be called the base camp of the demon clan.
Generally speaking, there would be no intersection between the righteous and the evil, but the evil is murderous by nature, and it is inevitable that they will conflict with the righteous in the world of immortal cultivation, or their evil deeds are against the will of heaven and earth and must be dealt with, so some people in the world of immortal cultivation set up a "Bounty Pavilion" to specifically issue tasks to hunt demons and give generous rewards.
Like the other three sects and seven schools, except for the more special information sales and assassination services provided by the Misty Rain Pavilion, normally, in addition to making a living by selling talismans, pills, weapons, and some miscellaneous items, they rely on the income from the tasks of the Bounty Pavilion.
Of course, most of these tasks are rather complicated, and it is naturally inappropriate to ask the sect leader to neglect the main purpose and do such rough work. Therefore, the demon bounty order has become an important part of the training of disciples in various sects.
Making money this way is actually not much different from performing arts. In the past, the wealthy families in Jixue only regarded this kind of thing as a task, but now it has become a means of making a living. How sad.
Nie Yanchen sighed sadly, "You don't know how expensive food and oil are until you manage a household. With the clan's situation, the only thing we can spend is the reward."
Listening to him, Tu Nian glanced at the contents on the brown paper. When he saw the reward, his face showed obvious disdain, "Is this what you call being able to spend money?"
A bounty of fifty top-grade items is not even as expensive as her set of talismans. How long will it take her to make a profit?
Nie Yanchen's face was filled with melancholy. "Be content. Even this cheap sale order was obtained by me, your master, at the cost of my dignity."
Seeing Tu Nian's puzzled expression, Chu Qiurong explained for him: "Jixue has been declining for many years and has long been excluded from the Bounty Pavilion. If it weren't for this competition that made him famous, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to receive the fifty-yuan reward..."
After Chu Qiurong's explanation, Tu Nian understood most of it. To put it simply, the Snow Valley was not up to standard, and the Bounty Pavilion was afraid that its business would be ruined.
In fact, it is easy to understand. For example, Yuqing and Bihai, two sects with many disciples, send out missions every month in December. They have a high completion rate and high efficiency, and have a very good reputation in the Bounty Pavilion. They can receive top-level missions worth thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones at a time.
As for the lower-tier small sects like Tianyin and Danyang, they might fail in their entry-level missions, so the Bounty Pavilion naturally wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble for themselves.
Although Jixue has achieved good results in the competition, it cannot be denied that in terms of overall strength, there is still a big gap between him and the orthodox three sects and seven schools. Therefore, he still has to work hard to return to the ranks of high-level tasks.
"Well, it turns out that even doing hard labor means being picked on."
Tu Nian also began to feel depressed. Even if he traveled through the books, he couldn't escape the fate of becoming a cheap college student. How terrible it must be.
But this is not the worst part.
"By the way, when will the bounty order's mission level be raised? If I work myself to death and still can't make it to the apprenticeship ceremony, then all my suffering will be in vain."
Tu Nian felt that this problem was very constructive. If it could not be solved, she might as well go back to Wozhou and set up a stall. At least she could raise some money for the grand ceremony.
Fortunately, Nie Yanchen had failed so many times, but this time he was finally reliable. He puffed out his chest with pride and said, "Don't worry, your master has considered this issue early on, so he has already discussed it with that old man from the Bounty Pavilion."
As he spoke, he ran to the table where the documents were placed and rummaged through it for a while. Finally, he took out an armful of brown paper from a pile of scribbles on the documents.
"If the unit price doesn't work, let's just increase the quantity first!"
