Chapter 13
In the Evil Sky Pavilion atop the Golden Court Mountain…
“Master, representatives from the Ci Family of Anyang wish to see you.”
“Which Ci Family?”
“Little Yuan’er’s family.”
The scene of Ji Tiandao taking Little Yuan’er as his disciple in the city of Anyang five years ago appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind as he nodded slightly and said, “Bring them in.”
“Yes, Master!”
Before very long, three villainous disciples led the people of the Ci Family into the Evil Sky Pavilion. Little Yuan’er had returned as soon as she got the news as well.
“Ah? Three…three days? Master, don’t you think three days is a little bit too short?” Mingshi Yin tried to buy himself more time.
While smiling, Zhao Yue said, “Senior Brother, you are a Divine Court expert. If it were me, two days would be more than enough. When did you become so lacking in confidence?”
“Ugh!”
‘We grow from the same root, so why should you hurt me in such a rush? Do you think it is good to pull the rug from under my feet?’
“Go now,” Lu Zhou waved a hand.
“Yes, Master!”
The reason Lu Zhou only gave him three days was that he did not wish these disciples to be too unrestricted, lest they were gone for too long and caused too many troubles.
As he thought about that, he opened the system’s menu. Sure enough, there was an additional tab in the quest menu called ‘Assigned tasks’, and the first line clearly showed up as below:
Saving the Ci Family
Executor: Mingshi Yin
Countdown timer: 2 days and 23 hours…
At that moment, Little Yuan’er fell to her knees and bowed deeply as she said, “Thank you, Master!”
At the same time, Ci An and his two companions also bowed and said, “Thank you, my lord…”
“Ding! You have received the devout worship of three people and are rewarded with 30 merit points. Hint: Merit points will not be rewarded from worship that is deliberately planned.”
“Little Yuan’er, send them down the mountain.”
“Yes, Master!” She looked as if she had something to say.
Lu Zhou read her expression, and he said, “Although your Fourth Senior Brother loves the outside world, he always does things seriously and uses his brain wisely. He will solve the problem in less than a day. You don’t have to worry.”
“I understand now, Master!”
On the other side, Duanmu Sheng and Zhao Yue froze at the same time. Their master obviously knew that Mingshi Yin would spend two days doing his own things out there.
Everything was under their master’s control!
1“Old Fifth!”
“Yes, Master?”
“I want you to investigate the Heavenly Sword Sect, especially its eldest disciple, Zhou Jifeng. You have two days.”
Zhao Yue beamed when she heard the order. “Yes, Master. I will definitely complete the task!”
Since he wanted to instigate Zhou Jifeng’s defection, he naturally needed to keep a close watch on him.
