Chapter 205

"Hehe, my Master was just scaring me. I behaved well these past few days, so he let me out early."

"You don't know, I was stifled to death during this time; it was so boring."

"I was just thinking about when I could get out to find you two."

Wei Xiang'an began to talk incessantly after seeing Lin Bai and the others.

It was as if he hadn't seen them for a long time.

"By the way, you haven't said yet, what were you talking about just now?"

"Bothering who, hating who? Tell me, and I'll go help you deal with them."

"Who dares to bully people I look after?"

After Wei Xiang'an finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Lin Bai and Wang Wang Yuping. He was truly curious about who had such guts, knowing his good relationship with Lin Bai and the others, yet still daring to provoke them.

Even without looking at him, Lin Bai's strength should have made them afraid.

"Who else could we be talking about? We were talking about you."

Looking at his appearance, Wang Wang Yuping said without hesitation.

"What did I do? I haven't come to bother you for a long time."

"How did I become annoying again?"

Wei Xiang'an frowned and asked with confusion. He had been well-behaved during this time and hadn't done anything out of line, so why was he annoying?

Lin Bai watched the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.

He watched the two of them quietly from the side.

"Anyway, you're just annoying. You don't know how happy we were when you weren't hanging around us. Come visit less often in the future."

"Be careful, or next time your Master will ground you again."

Wang Wang Yuping curled his lips without hesitation.

"Hey, you potato. It seems I gave you too much face these past few days, right?"

"Besides, my Master only got angry because I acted on my own, not because I came to play with you."

Wei Xiang'an curled his lips in defiance.

"Alright, can you two stop bickering every time you meet, and then missing each other when you don't?"

Seeing the two of them going on endlessly, Lin Bai spoke up.

"Who missed him?"

Both said in unison, glanced at each other, and then turned their gazes away.

"Didn't miss him, didn't miss him. I missed him."

Lin Bai felt helpless.

"By the way, Senior Brother, I heard there's a new mission. Do you want to go take a look?"

Wei Xiang'an raised an eyebrow and finally looked at Lin Bai.

"What mission?"

Lin Bai looked curious. If the other was being mysterious, the mission must not be simple.

"I haven't gone to see it yet, but they say this mission is even harder to handle than the Thousand-Year Snake Charm last time."

"So I specifically came to ask if you want to go take a look together."

Wei Xiang'an also shook his head; he had heard the news as soon as he got out.

He had originally planned to find Lin Bai and the others, and after getting the news, he hurried over.

He had no mind to see what the mission was.

"That's fine. Anyway, it's boring staying in the sect during this time. Doing a mission is just right to earn some points for Azure Phoenix Peak."

0 ... 0

Lin Bai nodded, thinking he could give it a try.

"Wei Xiang'an, you're helping our Azure Phoenix Peak so much; aren't you afraid Elder Lu will get angry?"

Wang Wang Yuping looked at Wei Xiang'an and shook his head helplessly.

"Not afraid. If this mission is really difficult, even if I didn't tell you, I couldn't handle it myself anyway."

"And you would find out eventually, so it doesn't matter. Most importantly, as long as Senior Brother adds me to your challenge team, I'll be able to get a share of the spoils."

Wei Xiang'an looked at Lin Bai and revealed his little scheme.

"Why don't you go find Senior Brother Lin Lin Yunzhong? Isn't he also very powerful?"

Clearly, he had his own Senior Brother, yet he always liked to hang around his Senior Brother.

"I'm not going to him."

Wei Xiang'an rolled his eyes.

"Why? Aren't you two on good terms?"

Wang Wang Yuping looked confused.

Lin Bai saw something in the other's tone, but since this was their business as fellow disciples, Lin Bai naturally wouldn't intervene.

"Alright, then let's go. We'll go take a look together, and I'll take you along."

Lin Bai appeared generous and nodded, then took Wei Xiang'an and Wang Wang Yuping down Azure Phoenix Peak to the mission collection point.

When Old Li saw Lin Bai and the others coming, his expression turned ugly; after all, he still remembered Lin Bai making him lose face in front of so many people last time.

"Wei Xiang'an, it seems your Master didn't punish you enough, since you're still hanging around with them."

Seeing that Wei Xiang'an was actually hanging out with Lin Bai and the others, Old Li began to speak in a sarcastic, passive-aggressive tone.

"Uncle Li, look at what you're saying."

"My Master isn't such a petty person; he was just angry that I didn't tell him beforehand."

"He doesn't mind me hanging out with strong people."

Wei Xiang'an retorted with dissatisfaction.

If it were in the past, he would have already found a way to pluck out the other man's beard.

However, he remembered what Lin Bai had told him earlier, so he was now trying his best not to suppress others with force as he used to.

"We came over because we heard there was a new mission, so we came to take a look."

Lin Bai didn't want to waste too much breath on the other man, so he stated their purpose directly; after all, wasting more words on this kind of person was useless.

It was better to state his purpose quickly, take the mission, and leave.

"Hope you have good luck this time?"

Old Li raised an eyebrow. Although he was unhappy about Lin Bai making him lose face last time, he still highly acknowledged Lin Bai's ability.

He immediately took out the mission token and handed it to Lin Bai. After Lin Bai glanced at him, he took the special-grade token and checked the content of this mission.

"How is it, Senior Brother?"

Wang Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang'an asked Lin Bai impatiently about the situation.

"The two of you cannot participate in this mission."

After checking the mission, Lin Bai's expression turned extremely ugly. He had originally thought it would be something like the thousand-year snake demon mission, just fighting some demonic beasts.

But this mission made Lin Bai feel that something was wrong.

"Senior Brother, what kind of mission is it that we two can't participate in?"

"Exactly, tell us so we can see."

After hearing what Lin Bai said, Wei Xiang'an and Wang Wang Yuping became anxious instantly. What kind of mission could it be that Lin Bai said they couldn't participate in together?

"I'll take this token for now."

After saying this, Lin Bai turned around and returned to Qingluan Peak.

Seeing Lin Bai's appearance, Wang Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang'an chased after him. However, after returning to Qingluan Peak, Lin Bai did not go back to his own cave dwelling but went straight to Feng Feng Yunzheng's cave dwelling.

At this moment, Feng Feng Yunzheng was drinking tea and was startled by Lin Bai, who had suddenly barged in.

"You little brat, are you asking for a beating?"

"Startling me like that, what exactly are you doing?"

"Don't you even know how to knock on the door?"
