"Anyway, you'll all be entering the inner sect sooner or later, so it's no harm to tell you in advance. Inner sect disciples have special training grounds, and you need Ice Points to enter those training grounds."
"Although I am the young palace master, I do not want to take advantage of others. I also have to abide by the rules of the Ice Feather Palace, so like you, I need to take on missions to earn Ice Points. Besides, the process of completing missions is also a kind of training."
Ruan Xiyan glanced at Yu Qiqi in surprise. As the young master of Bingyu Palace, she was surrounded by admirers, yet she was not only not spoiled, but also independent, which was truly beyond her expectations.
"Why don't you find an inner disciple? If you want to find someone to team up with, there are plenty of excellent inner disciples vying to team up with you. Aren't you afraid of being taken advantage of by coming to us outer disciples?"
Yu Qiqi quickly waved her hand, "I won't suffer any loss. Sister Yan is so powerful, I'm the one who benefits. Besides, many disciples in the inner sect are wary of my status as the young palace master."
“Every time we did a mission, they would protect me as carefully as if I were a porcelain doll, and they wouldn’t let me rush forward, for fear that I would get hurt.”
“But I don’t want that at all. I have hands and feet, and I want to fight without any worries, instead of being protected by them.”
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan was wavering, Yu Qiqi pressed on, "I am not weak. Although I may not be the strongest among the inner disciples, I will never hold Sister Yan back."
"Besides, we've known each other for a while now, which is better than Sister Yan going to find a disciple she doesn't know."
Last time in the Monster Mountain Range, Ruan Xiyan had already seen her strength: the first level of the Great Completion Realm.
Among the many outstanding inner disciples, she wasn't considered very strong, but her talent for cultivation was excellent, and her temperament was also good; she just lacked time.
If given a few more years to grow, she will surely shine.
"Shall we meet at the Mission Hall tomorrow morning?"
Hearing that Ruan Xiyan had agreed to take her on a team to complete a mission, Yu Qiqi was so excited that she danced around with joy. "Yes, yes, of course! I'll definitely be there on time."
"Sister Yan, I won't disturb your rest any longer, I'll be going now." Yu Qiqi waved excitedly, about to jump down from the window she came from.
Luo Wanyin quickly raised her hand to stop her, "The door is there, you can actually leave through the door openly."
It's one thing to sneak in, but why do you have to sneak away too?
Yu Qiqi slapped her forehead, "Oh right! I was so happy I forgot. Thanks for reminding me."
"Sister Yan, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow." Yu Qiqi's figure disappeared through the door.
The next day, Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin had breakfast and then headed to the mission hall.
"You, me, Lin Muze, and Yu Qiqi, that's only four people. At least five people are needed to take on a Heaven-level mission, and we don't have enough people."
"Xi Yan, are we just going to go to the mission hall and randomly pull a stranger into our team?" Luo Wanyin asked, troubled.
"Let's go to the Mission Hall first and see if there are any willing to team up for a Heavenly-level mission," Ruan Xiyan replied calmly.
Although bringing a complete stranger into the team was not her original intention.
After all, it takes time to get to know each other before doing a task together.
However, she urgently needed to take on a Heaven-level mission to earn enough Ice Points as soon as possible, so she had to make do for now.
In fact, a suitable person came to mind: Jun Yu.
He hadn't shown his true strength, but they were acquaintances who had worked together on many missions and spent some time together, making their teamwork even more seamless.
But she only thought about it. As an inner disciple, he should have his own things to do, and she didn't want to bother him.
As Ruan Xiyan was deep in thought, Luo Wanyin, who was beside her, suddenly tugged at her sleeve and softly called to her, "Xiyan, look over there."
Ruan Xiyan looked up and saw Jun Yu standing not far away, smiling and greeting her.
"Xi Yan, is that person your friend?" Luo Wanyin asked softly.
She remembered that this amazing man had come to see Xiyan when she was taking a class before.
"I guess so," Ruan Xiyan said.
As things stand, she and Junyu are neither enemies nor strangers, yet they are inexplicably entangled together and have gradually become acquainted as friends.
Jun Yu walked up to Ruan Xiyan, his smiling eyes never leaving her for a moment. "What were you thinking about just now, Yan? Were you thinking about me?"
Ruan Xiyan coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed as if her secret had been exposed. "No, what nonsense are you talking about? You've been gone for days, and you're still so narcissistic."
Can this guy read minds? She was definitely thinking about him in her mind just now.
"I was just saying it offhand, why are you so nervous, Ayan?" Jun Yu said with a half-smile.
"Why are you, an inner disciple, here in the outer sect?" Ruan Xiyan changed the subject.
"Naturally, it's for Ayan. I knew Ayan needed me, so I came." Jun Yu's tone was gentle. "Ayan is still short one person for the Heavenly-level mission, isn't she? How about me?"
How did you know?
“I know everything that’s related to Ayan.” Jun Yu’s lips curled up. “I also know that our Ayan is very popular in the outer sect recently. She’s truly my Ayan.”
Ruan Xiyan rolled her eyes at him, "Who's your family?"
"It will be sooner or later."
When Jun Yu approached, Luo Wanyin ducked to the side.
However, the two people's conversation still reached her ears clearly, and she couldn't help but smile.
Her woman's intuition told her that there was definitely something going on between the two of them.
In the mission hall, Yu Qiqi was already waiting there. When she saw Ruan Xiyan and the others coming over, she waved enthusiastically and said, "Sister Yan, Wanwan, I'm here."
As she approached, Yu Qiqi looked at Jun Yu standing to the side and asked, "Sister Yan, who is this? I've seen him with you before, is he also a disciple of our Ice Feather Palace?"
“Jun Yu, like you, is an inner disciple,” Ruan Xiyan introduced to her.
"Huh? I don't remember when such a disciple came to the inner sect." Yu Qiqi's eyes flashed with confusion.
Logically speaking, if she had seen someone who looked like Jun Yu in the inner sect, she would definitely not forget him.
However, the name sounds somewhat familiar.
“I remember now! You are the one my father specially recruited into the inner sect not long ago.”
She had recently returned to Ice Feather Palace after a mission outside, so she hadn't seen him in the inner sect, but she had heard of his name.
Her good looks alone attracted the attention of countless female disciples in the inner sect.
He was a loner and never spoke or interacted with any of his disciples. Even the female disciples who wanted to get close to him were frightened by his cold and unapproachable attitude.
He only dared to admire from afar, and no one dared to take another step closer. He was an oddball among the many disciples of the inner sect.
However, her father seemed to value him quite a bit, treating him with exceptional politeness. He even mentioned him to her, reminding her never to provoke this person.
