Chapter 68: Like a Dog's Crawl

Yuan Yao heard this, her heart stirred; she could first go to Remnant Mountain City to find the target person.

Although there are also target persons here, their numbers are too many; she temporarily couldn't think of a good way to suppress them.

More importantly, this is a critical moment; if she rashly takes action to attack the disciples from various sects, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble and disputes.

"Senior Sister Su, I'll go with you." Yuan Yao looked at that fair-faced Senior Sister Su.

Cang Li heard this, his brows instantly furrowed; he was like a worried old father, "Don't run around recklessly."

Senior Sister Su also agreed, "Yeah, I'll go buy it for you."

"Third Senior Brother, if I encounter danger, I will definitely send you a message right away." Yuan Yao's mind was made up; she paused, then added with a smile, "Besides, I still have seven..."

Saying this, she closed her mouth.

Cang Li understood.

"Just go to Remnant Mountain City?"

"Yes." Yuan Yao nodded sincerely.

Ao Su chuckled, "How about I also accompany Little Junior Sister?"

Cang Li said, "No need to accompany her; she's such a big person, if she can't even go buy a roasted bird egg, wouldn't that make her a little fool."

Yuan Yao, hearing this, glared at Cang Li.

Afterward, she began asking the other senior brothers and sisters if they wanted anything to eat; she could buy it for them.

"Little Junior Sister, I want to eat roasted goose!" Ao Su raised his hand.

"Okay!"

"Little Junior Sister, could you bring me some sugar cakes?"

"Sure, sure."

"Little Junior Sister, could you help me bring some crispy pastries?"

"No problem!"

"Little Junior Sister..."

The disciples of the Carefree Sect successively said what they wanted to eat, then stuffed money into Yuan Yao and Senior Sister Su.

Yuan Yao took out a sheet of paper and quickly wrote down what each senior brother and sister wanted.

Afterward, she showed the paper to them, "Check if it's correct?"

The Carefree Sect disciples looked at it, their expressions turned slightly odd, secretly thinking: Little Junior Sister's handwriting is still as bad as ever.

Each character looked like... a dog's crawl.

"Right, right." The disciples nodded in agreement.

Several senior brothers and sisters didn't order anything to eat, because they had long decided to renounce worldly desires.

Meanwhile, disciples from other sects' teams were attracted by the commotion emanating from the Carefree Sect team.

"We're already at such a critical juncture, yet you still have leisure to ponder these food matters?" A voice of mockery and sarcasm came from the crowd.

"Isn't that right? So many people died in Cloudy Dark City; this behavior is truly too rude, basically the greatest desecration and offense to the deceased!" Another person echoed.

"Heh, I've always thought the Carefree Sect is just a name without substance, a flashy little sect. If not for the support of that Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord, they'd probably have been swallowed by some force long ago!" Someone interjected, their words full of contempt and disdain.

The Carefree Sect disciples also heard their words, their faces slightly sank.

"Ignore them."

Cang Li spoke up, then immediately patted Yuan Yao's shoulder, "Go."

Yuan Yao nodded.

Yuan Yao and Senior Sister Su paired up and headed toward Remnant Mountain City.

Everyone saw Yuan Yao leave.

Actually, earlier when everyone was in the City Lord's mansion, many had already noticed the Carefree Sect disciples affectionately calling Yuan Yao 'Little Junior Sister,' which inevitably sparked their curiosity and suspicion: Could she have some background in the Carefree Sect? Otherwise, why would she receive such special treatment?

But now seeing Yuan Yao doing menial disciple work...

their doubts were also considered resolved.

It turns out that those in the Carefree Sect who are close to Yuan Yao aren't just because of simple fellow-disciple affinity; the more important reason is likely that they can casually order her to run errands for them!

After Yuan Yao and Senior Sister Su walked away, Cang Li solemnly faced the Carefree Sect disciples, his voice impassioned: "Our Carefree Sect is just too outstanding; every move attracts envy!"

"Right!" Ao Su raised his bamboo-pole-like arm and shouted loudly.

"Right!!!" The Carefree Sect disciples shouted loudly.

This sound wave forcibly suppressed the voices of those who had been chattering, speaking rudely, and recklessly slandering.

The people present were suddenly stunned.

Next, a youth shouted with feeling: "As members of the Carefree Sect, we ought to live carefree and happy; but villains dare to thumb their noses at us! Then let's wish villains a lifetime of eating dirt!"

"Villains a lifetime of eating dirt!"

The Carefree Sect disciples raised their arms and shouted.

"We haven't set fires, killed, or eaten people, yet villains stand on the moral high ground to judge us—do they deserve it?!"

"They don't deserve it!!!"

This left the onlookers gaping, their mood also extremely subtle.

On the other side, Yuan Yao and Senior Sister Su heard the shouting, turned back, and from a distance saw Cang Li and the Carefree Sect disciples' 'tacit coordination'.

Yuan Yao's mouth twitched; "Senior Sister Su, was Third Senior Brother like this when he was out there before?"

Senior Sister Su laughed.

"Yeah. This way, we can effectively shut the mouths of those annoying idle gossips."

Yuan Yao also noticed that the previously noisy, clamorous environment in the distance had now fallen into utter silence.

Clearly, everyone was stunned into speechlessness by this scene before them.

As for Senior Sister Su's earlier words, Yuan Yao deeply agreed.

Afterwards, Yuan Yao and Senior Sister Su could then head to Yu Mountain City with peace of mind.

The two re-entered the city.

Yuan Yao looked at the paper covered in writing in her hand, then smiled and said to Senior Sister Su, "Senior Sister Su, to save some time, why don't we split up to buy things?"

Upon hearing that, Senior Sister Su stared for a moment, before she could react, she saw Yuan Yao tear the paper in half and hand her one half.

Yuan Yao winked at her, saying, "Senior Sister Su, in broad daylight, I won't face any danger."

Senior Sister Su worriedly asked, "Can you really manage on your own?"

"Senior Sister Su, I'm not a little kid anymore—I can definitely do it." Yuan Yao grabbed Senior Sister Su's hand, trying to act cute and coquettish.

Senior Sister Su's heart softened, "Okay."

Yuan Yao let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

Afterwards, the two went their separate ways.

A voice from Yuan Yao's sea of consciousness came from the 250 System: 【Target persons Qiu Manhui, Huai Tianlei, Li Er, Song Qi……, Awakening Value is 0.】

She scanned the crowd, then turned and entered an alley, quickly setting up a formation barrier there.

After finishing all preparations, Yuan Yao felt a bit troubled, "How can I lure the target persons over?"

She couldn't just go out and abduct people.

Suddenly, she recalled a plot common in many storybooks!

Yuan Yao's eyes lit up; she quickly took out a pile of colorful, gorgeous exquisite jewelry from her storage space and put each piece on herself.

Among them, the most eye-catching was the crescent-shaped necklace hanging around her neck.

This necklace was meticulously carved from top-grade spirit stone, its volume actually twice that of an ordinary pigeon egg!

In the sunlight, it emitted a charming radiance that was utterly mesmerizing.

She strutted out just like that.

The people on the street all noticed her, not only because of her appearance but also because the precious jewelry she wore from head to toe was so ostentatious that anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel their heart skip a beat.

Meanwhile——

Not far away, on the second-floor platform of a tavern, a ghost-faced youth caught sight of that strikingly eye-catching girl in his peripheral vision.

And after seeing that the girl was adorned with dazzling ornaments all over, the youth's mouth twitched slightly.

It was her again.
