The disciples were all reading the task description carefully, but none of them dared to take it, even the several pro-disciples.
Song Ning squeezed into the crowd and began to browse:
"There have been devils and demons invading villages and slaughtering beings recently. As a moral cultivating school, we Tianyuan School possesses the responsibility to kill the devils and demons and bring ordinary people into normal life!
Therefore, three leading disciples (with the cultivation above the eighth level of qi gathered period) and four followers (recommended by the elders of the four courts; no requests on cultivation) will be sent to the northeast.
After the mission, the leading disciples would be rewarded ten pills of Spirit Gathered Dan as well as two thousand spiritual stones; followers, one pill of Spirit Gathered Dan."
Such task…
Song Ning lost his interests. Though great rewards would be given to the leading disciples, but to be one of them would dis close his real cultivation. He still intended to hide himself before finding the Woods.
But if he took the mission as a follower, he would only receive a pill of Spirit Gathered Dan, which was unsatisfactory to him.
So, he turned back without hesitation.
Some disciples in the crowd had met him before. Considering him too timid to accept the task, they laughed at him.
"I have inquired about his identity. Get what? He's only a follower!"
"Though rich, his cultivation is so low, only at the first level of qi gathered period. Did you notice his reaction after reading the task description? His face got pale! Obviously out of scare!"
Suddenly, a snort hit into their ears, "Humph! You are only good at sarcasm! Are you going to take the mission?! Listen! Song Ning will definitely be stronger than all of you in the future!"
They were about to retort, but found out the speaking person was Tang Yue, then grew silent.
Song Ning felt quite grateful for her rescuing with an ad-lib.
"Thank you very much, Sister Tang!" He made a hold fist salute.
"Not a big deal! Be hard-working, and you will surpass them all! If someone has the nerve to bully you, tell me when I come back, and I will revenge you!" She uttered loudly to ensure everyone here could hear her.
Her position in the school was more than a pro-disciple, so no one dared to raise rejoinders.
A sharp gaze, however, fell on Song Ning.
He smelled a hint of killing message and tracked an unfamiliar face in silvery robe who must be one of Tang Yue's pursuer.
The gaze arose Song Ning's desire to leave, because to breed enemy with too many disciples would probably be an obstacle for getting Woods.
"Sister Tang, I'm going back and take care of yourself outside!" He smiled.
"Well, okay. I will bring back fruits on sticks to you!" Tang Yue patted his shoulder with a smile, particularly gentle and soft.
She thought she was helping him, but in fact, he was impressed with the image of disloyalty and living off a woman.
"Thanks, Sister Tang, bye!" He hurriedly said goodbye.
