Chapter 80 Regarding the news of his own death after entering the city
Mu Jianjian strolled back to the Xuan Shuang Sect territory, and only after passing the identification token to the inspectors did she have the mood to talk to the system and use up the three blind box draw opportunities she had previously left untouched.
"Single pulls bring miracles, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Unlucky people never believe in three consecutive pulls.
[Received, host.] The system's voice was soft and cute. [Beep beep beep~ Congratulations, host, on drawing the Vanished Spirit Orb and the Magical Goblet!]
Mu Jianjian was speechless at the names of the two items, but she still held out hope for the third blind box.
Only after the system's voice in her head completely disappeared did she exclaim in disbelief, "What? Where's the third thing? I've gone deaf?"
[Host, there's nothing in the blind box you got.] The system was obedient.
Mu Jianjian: ?
"Wait, your progress rewards are so perfunctory, there are even empty blind boxes?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Jianjian could only accept this undeniable fact. She waved her hand and said, "Fine, tell me how to use the spirit pearl and the wine glass first."
[I've already placed them in the host's space.] The system remained obedient.
Mu Jianjian took out a glass from her space that looked exactly like a modern stemmed glass, flicked it with her hand, and heard it make a "ding-ding" sound.
"Excuse me," she asked tentatively, suppressing her anger, "what good will this do?"
[You can drink water from a cup, host.]
"Your body has no warmth, and so do your words!" Mu Jianjian held a wine glass, feeling that she was missing a bottle of red wine. "Your reward system is really humane. You know that I need a glass to drink water after fighting in a cultivation world."
system:……
"How thoughtful and stylish! A stemmed glass."
System: Please stop being sarcastic.
"It's okay, we still have one last one. Although this reward is a bit low, it will still allow us to stand out from the crowd and enjoy a small sip of wine."
Mu Jianjian quickly adjusted her mindset, but after searching through her entire space, she still couldn't find the "spiritual pearl" the system had mentioned. "Where's the spiritual pearl? Just from the name, it must be a good thing, right?"
The spirit orb has vanished; therefore, the spirit orb has disappeared.
Mu Jianjian: ?
Let's end this friendship; without love, I feel lighter.
Mu Jianjian only stopped when the system reassured her that the Spirit Orb was a hidden reward that would be activated periodically.
As she hurried along the mountain path, she fiddled with the goblet and finally discovered that it could actually hold the water from the sacred lake within the space!
Mu Jianjian felt a little better. After walking along the mountain road for a long time, she finally saw a city that was relatively large.
She slowly walked into the city, where she was greeted by white silk and white lanterns hanging everywhere. There was no light on the streets, and even the passersby were silent.
Mu Jianjian found a fragrant noodle stall on the street and sat down, waving her hand.
"Boss, give me a bowl of plain noodles with an egg."
The voice, neither too loud nor too soft, drew glares from those around her. Mu Jianjian raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to the man eating noodles with his head down, asking, "Brother, what's going on here?"
"Keep your voice down! Are you out of your mind?" The man's voice was so soft it was barely audible; if Mu Jianjian hadn't possessed cultivation, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear him at all.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that the girl's voice had softened, the man felt relieved and explained, "I can tell you're from out of town and don't know much. In Quanjiao, you need to keep quiet for ten days and wear plain clothes. Just do those two things."
"Why?" Mu Jianjian asked in confusion. She looked at the white paper money fluttering in the wind on the street and felt a sense of foreboding.
The entire religious community needs this; could something have happened to Mufu?
"Didn't you see what's happening on the street?" the man asked after taking a bite of noodles. "The cult leader has gone mad and lost his temper. There's internal strife within the cult, and everyone is in a state of panic."
Mu Jianjian felt relieved after hearing his words, and she completely ignored the words "internal strife within the sect".
It's good that Mu's father is alright.
Who died?
"The young lady of the sect," the man said matter-of-factly.
Mu Jianjian's mind went blank for a moment, "Who?"
"Young Miss Mu Jianjian, who else could it be but her?"
Mu Jianjian: ?
Is she not here?
The man seemed oblivious to the girl's shattered expression and continued, "You're from out of town, you have no idea how spoiled this young lady is. She's all show and no substance, and supposedly incredibly ugly. You're definitely much prettier than her, girl."
“It’s not that I don’t support the young lady in our sect, it’s just that she’s truly unworthy of the Holy Son of the Holy Lotus Pavilion. However, I heard from people who recently returned from the Xuan Tian Secret Realm that there’s a girl in our sect surnamed Sang who is exceptionally outstanding…”
You said Yueyue is excellent and she admits it, but let's just forget about Ye Wuluo.
After that, Mu Jianjian rushed to the Xuan Shuang Sect overnight.
