"Oh dear, I'm late. Looks like I'm the only one missing." Lin Muze ran over from a distance with a grin, as unserious as ever.
"Sister Yan," Lin Muze greeted her, glancing at Jun Yu and then at Yu Qiqi. "Sister Yan, is this the person you found?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded and introduced them to each other, "This is Lin Muze."
“Wanwan, you already know them. These two are Jun Yu and Yu Qiqi,” Ruan Xiyan said, looking at Lin Muze.
Lin Muze's gaze fell on Yu Qiqi, looking at her small stature and her little girl appearance.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister Yan, where did you get this little one from? Making this little one come with us on missions, you're not going to accuse us of child trafficking, are you?"
As Lin Muze spoke, he casually gestured with his hand above Yu Qiqi's head, just reaching his chest.
"Who are you calling a child!" Yu Qiqi said through gritted teeth.
"Why are you still angry? I'm just telling the truth." Lin Muze patted her head like he would a child. "Don't be discouraged. Eat more, and you'll grow taller."
She is already fifteen years old, but she is petite. She hates it when people call her a child, and she hates it when people pat her head and say that she is short.
This rude guy started harassing her right away, and Yu Qiqi couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed the hand on her head and twisted it hard.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! How can you be so strong for such a small thing? Let go! Let go!" Lin Muze's wrist was gripped, and his body involuntarily leaned forward, his face contorted in pain.
Yu Qiqi suddenly shook her off.
Lin Muze stumbled and almost fell. "Hey, how can a young lady like you be so violent!"
Yu Qiqi walked forward slowly, then suddenly grabbed Lin Muze by the collar, lifting him off the ground with such force.
She threatened fiercely, "If it weren't for the fact that you're Sister Yan's friend, I would have broken your claws today."
Upon seeing this, Luo Wanyin's mouth gaped open in surprise.
Lin Muzhe hadn't expected this person to be not only violent but also incredibly strong, lifting him up like a chick.
With both feet off the ground, I felt extremely insecure. "Grandma, I was wrong. I just said something careless. Please let me go. There are so many people watching. Don't I have any dignity?"
The commotion had already attracted the attention of many disciples. Lin Muze tried to cover his face with his hand, pretending that no one could see him that way.
He turned to look at Ruan Xiyan and pleaded, "Sister Yan, help me."
Helpless, Ruan Xiyan looked at Yu Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, let's take care of business first."
Yu Qiqi then let go of her hand.
Looking at the relevant tasks in the Task Hall, Ruan Xiyan first accepted the Heaven-level task of hunting down the Snow Monster King of the Blizzard Plains.
"Take a look and see if there are any suitable tasks that you like, and you can take them on."
"Sister Yan, this Heavenly-level mission has a really high Ice Point reward!" Yu Qiqi looked at one of the missions. "Investigate the missing disciples in the Holy Martial Dynasty, 200,000 Ice Points!"
Yu Qiqi's eyes lit up as she looked at the number 200,000 ice points marked on the back.
“Sister Yan, I recently heard my father mention that many disciples who went to the Holy Martial Dynasty to carry out missions have disappeared without a trace and have never returned to Ice Feather Palace.”
“It is inevitable that casualties will occur during missions, but too many disciples in the Holy Martial Dynasty have been involved in accidents, almost one after another.”
"Father once sent people to investigate, but the disciples he sent disappeared without a trace. As the Palace Master, Father could not easily leave Ice Feather Palace to investigate in the Holy Martial Dynasty, so he issued a Heaven-level investigation mission in the Mission Hall."
She wanted to take on this task, firstly because there were many ice distribution points, and secondly because she wanted to share her father's burdens.
The father seemed very distressed about this matter.
The three top powers on the mainland never interfere in the affairs of the four great empires.
As the master of Ice Feather Palace, my father's rash entry into the territory of the Holy Martial Dynasty might arouse the royal family's suspicion and distrust.
However, when they perform tasks as disciples, it's much more normal and doesn't attract too much attention.
When Luo Wanyin saw this task, her fist, which was hanging down, clenched up little by little.
Ruan Xiyan noticed that Luo Wanyin's mood seemed a bit off ever since the mission was mentioned, so she asked, "Wanwan, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this mission?"
"If you don't want to take this mission, we can look for other Heavenly-level missions."
Yu Qiqi also noticed Luo Wanyin's pale lips. "Sister Yan is right. We are a team. When we take on a mission, we must consider everyone's feelings."
Luo Wanyin shook her head, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. This mission is good. Since Qiqi wants to take it, I'm fine with it."
“I’ll do whatever Sister Yan says,” Lin Muze interjected.
“Since everyone agrees, we will accept this Heavenly-level mission.” Ruan Xiyan accepted the mission with her jade token and then continued.
"You can see if there are any suitable Earth-level or Profound-level missions. We'll complete all the missions we've taken on this time when we leave Ice Feather Palace."
After Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, Luo Wanyin and the others dispersed to check the missions in the mission hall.
In addition to the two top-level missions they took on as a team, they also took on many individual missions.
Ruan Xiyan also selected some tasks. This time, she went out to do tasks with the goal of accumulating enough Ice Points to enter the inner sect.
She looked at Jun Yu, who was standing there motionless, and stepped forward to ask, "Aren't you going to take on the mission?"
"Whether it's the Ice Division Point or the inner sect's sacred cultivation ground, it's useless to me. Why should I waste my time completing the task? I'd rather spend that time with Ayan," Jun Yu said matter-of-factly.
Ruan Xiyan crossed her arms and said, "Since cultivating in the Ice Feather Palace is of no benefit to you, why did you come here?"
"Naturally, it's to meet Ayan," Jun Yu said with a half-smile, his words seeming both true and false.
Ruan Xiyan couldn't tell whether what this person was saying was true or false; she only felt that he was shrouded in mystery.
She now vaguely suspects that Jun Yu, like her master, may not be from the secular continent.
He might come from a higher-level cultivation continent, or even the highest-level Nine Provinces continent...
After accepting the mission, they left the Ice Feather Palace, and their training and adventure officially began.
Their first stop was the blizzard plains, where Ruan Xiyan had returned since her last departure.
Besides the Heavenly-level quest to hunt down the Yeti King, there are also other quests of different levels in the blizzard plains.
Such as hunting down a hundred snow monsters, obtaining their inner cores, or picking snow lotuses that grow in extremely cold places.
They arrived at the edge of the blizzard plains in their flying magical artifacts.
