Chapter 137: Is the Madness Really Contagious?

After hearing the steward's report below, the Third Elder fell into deep silence.

How long has it been, damn it, and again? Can't I just have a moment of peace?

But this time the target changed to Jade Maiden Peak, and the Third Elder somehow felt it was surreal.

"That shouldn't be, aren't Jade Maiden Peak disciples always well-behaved?"

"We don't know either, it just suddenly became like this."

Yeah, Jade Maiden Peak disciples have always been well-behaved, never doing anything out of line, and even Second Elder Shi Song once said that Jade Maiden Peak was the peak that needed the least worry from the Law Enforcement Hall.

After sinking into silence for a moment, the Third Elder finally spoke.

"Let's see, maybe it's just a coincidence; you hold on for now, I'll go find Second Senior Brother to check the situation."

Jade Maiden Peak is definitely fine; it must be Divine Sword Peak up to something again, is it that old bastard Hong Zun?

My first reaction was that Divine Sword Peak started causing trouble again, after all Jade Maiden Peak disciples are so well-behaved, how could they do such a thing?

There must be something wrong here.

Upon hearing that, the steward nodded, and the Third Elder immediately rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Upon seeing Shi Song, he immediately asked.

"Second Senior Brother, has Divine Sword Peak had any abnormalities lately?"

Such a puzzling question left even Shi Song at a loss.

"No, the Divine Sword Peak disciples are at Jinhai Yingdi, and Hong Zun and the others are in closed-door cultivation; my people have been watching them, what's wrong?"

"No problem?" Hearing that, the Third Elder grew more doubtful, then proceeded to explain the situation at the Mission Hall in full.

"What? You're sure it's Jade Maiden Peak disciples?"

"Such a big person, how could you mistake them? They are definitely Jade Maiden Peak disciples."

"That shouldn't be, how could Jade Maiden Peak disciples be like Divine Sword Peak?"

"That's why I came to ask you whether Divine Sword Peak has had any abnormalities lately, or whether Jade Maiden Peak disciples have had any contact with Divine Sword Peak."

"No."

"Divine Sword Peak indeed has no problems, Shi Song can be certain of that, but speaking of contact..."

"In the previous battle at Jinhai Yingdi, it was Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak cooperating; if we talk about contact, that was the only time, after which there was none."

"There was only that one contact, and moreover the Jade Maiden Peak disciples were all at Jinhai Yingdi before, so there's even less talk of any contact."

"Could it be that this single contact caused the Jade Maiden Peak disciples to contract the madness?"

"Senior Brother, I'm just saying maybe; you said, is the madness of Divine Sword Peak contagious?"

"Nonsense."

The Third Elder guessed helplessly, but Shi Song snorted at it, what madness, simply baseless talk.

Shi Song didn't believe those, but the Third Elder was so anxious he jumped up and down.

"How do we explain it then? Moreover, my Mission Hall's three-star missions are about to run out again—do we have to close the doors again?"

The Third Elder was truly anxious, and regarding this, Shi Song had no way, after thinking he could only comfort.

"You shouldn't be too nervous either; maybe it's just a coincidence."

"Really that coincidental?"

"You, that's Jade Maiden Peak disciples, not Divine Sword Peak disciples; don't scare yourself."

This is the only reason that can comfort the Third Elder; Jade Maiden Peak disciples surely can't also become like Divine Sword Peak, right?

But some things are destined to be self-deception; just as the Third Elder was discussing with Shi Song, the Mission Hall had already descended into chaos.

As the Jade Maiden Peak main force arrived, the entire Mission Hall exploded.

"Steward, please take this line of missions."

"Then I'll take the next line."

"Is that all the missions left? Are there no other three-star missions?"

"Then I'll take them all; I'll accept all the remaining three-star missions."

One Jade Maiden Peak disciple after another shouted out, and all the surrounding stewards and disciples were left dumbfounded.

"Holy shit, again?"

"Hey hey hey, junior sister, why are you taking on so many missions?"

"What, does the sect have a rule that you can't take on this many missions at once?"

"No, can you even finish all these missions?"

Once upon a time, they were driven mad like this by Divine Sword Peak; now Jade Maiden Peak is coming too? But damn, why is Jade Maiden Peak also like this?

Even after seeing the missions on the mission light curtain dwindle further, Jade Maiden Peak disciples simply waved a hand.

"Steward, I'll take this whole screen."

"What 'screen'?"

"I want all the missions currently on the mission light curtain."

"Damn, this counts as a 'screen'? Divine Sword Peak disciples at most take missions line by line; what are you Jade Maiden Peak doing, outdoing the blue? You're doing it screen by screen?"

With a wave of the hand, all the missions on the entire mission light curtain were cleared.

Looking at the empty mission light curtain, the many disciples who came to take missions were about to cry.

As for the many stewards of the Mission Hall, they were even more moved to tears but couldn't cry.

Watching the mission light curtain quickly become empty, the hearts of all the stewards also sank instantly.

After finally waiting for the Third Elder to return, having thought it was merely a coincidence, but upon hearing the steward's report below, the Third Elder was dumbfounded.

"Third Elder, they're gone, the three-star missions are already gone."

"What?"

More than enough, not lacking, Jade Maiden Peak disciples..................

He told Third Elder the truth of the matter once; upon hearing this, Third Elder, angry, blew his beard and glared, thinking the Mission Hall was what kind of place? And he kept taking on one assignment after another—simply a joke.

Immediately, Third Elder, furious, came to the main hall and at once saw many Jade Maiden Peak disciples gathered before the mission light screen, continually urging.

"Steward, isn't the mission going to be updated?"

"None left, really no three‑star missions left."

"Then two‑star missions would do."

"Two‑star ones are gone too."

Seeing this, Third Elder's mouth twitched, and he immediately let out an angry roar.

"Are you planning to rebel?"

In less than a day, the three‑star missions were gone outright, and even the stockpile was cleared out.

At this moment Third Elder only felt mentally exhausted; why is being the Mission Hall Elder so tiring for me?

However, facing Third Elder's roar, the Jade Maiden Peak disciples not only were not afraid, but spoke up with resounding conviction.

"Greetings, Elder; the disciples have a matter to bring a complaint against all the stewards of the Mission Hall."

"They are negligent and shirk duty, occupying their posts without doing their jobs, achieving nothing, causing a shortage of missions within the Mission Hall, so that the disciples under them have no missions to take, severely affecting the disciples' cultivation and the sect's normal operation; please, Elder, punish them."

"Please, Elder, punish them."

Third Elder merely scolded them with a sentence, whereupon the Jade Maiden Peak female disciples promptly filed a complaint against all the stewards of the Mission Hall.

After this series of actions, Third Elder was dumbfounded, the Mission Hall stewards were dumbfounded, and the many surrounding disciples were dumbfounded too.

Why does the Mission Hall have no missions—do you really have no idea at all?

Damn, where does the courage come from, actually daring to counter‑sue them?

Third Elder was so angry his whole body trembled, his beard standing on end.

"You.......... you all.........."

He could hardly get his words out, and for some reason, these Jade Maiden Peak disciples before him always gave him a sense of familiarity, especially this move of turning the tables, which involuntarily reminded him of a certain extremely shameless, thick‑skirted old drunkard.
