Chapter 3434: Annoying Petty Person

Just as Chen Yueying was registering her mission, Liao Yaotian noticed that several male disciples dressed in inner sect attire were paying attention to the movements over there.

As soon as Chen Yueying finished registering, those male disciples immediately walked over and greeted her.

"Junior sister, aren't you supposed to be home? How did you come back to the sect so quickly?" a guy with shifty eyes asked Chen Yueying, feigning enthusiasm.

Chen Yueying clearly didn't want to deal with him; out of politeness she gave a greeting, "Senior Brother Qi," then turned and left, not even acknowledging his question.

"Junior sister, those missions you just took on can't possibly be completed by you alone! Do you need me to bring some people to help you?" the surnamed Qi senior brother followed up, asking from behind.

"No need." Chen Yueying said flatly without turning her head, then left the Mission Hall directly.

"Junior sister, the strength of those guards of yours is rather weak!" Senior Brother Qi kept chattering as he followed Chen Yueying.

But Chen Yueying didn't respond at all, not even glancing at him, and simply returned to the inner sect.

He could only stop awkwardly. Only after Chen Yueying walked away did his face turn grim, his eyes revealing cruelty: "Hmph, what's so special about a princess? Once you fall into my hands, I'll show you how I'll take revenge!"

"That person just now is called Qi Shengyu; he's a despicable petty person. Those lackeys of his aren't any good either. From now on, if you see him, be extra careful and don't fall for his tricks." Chen Yueying also reminded Liao Yaotian and the others.

"Yes. That guy looks like no good at first glance, and the moment he opens his mouth he's probing into the princess's private affairs—clearly he has ill intentions!" Liao Yaotian also immediately agreed.

"Mm, as long as you keep that in mind." Seeing Liao Yaotian's understanding, Chen Yueying felt much more relieved.

She was now thinking about taking Ye Liuyun on a mission, quickly pushing Qi Shengyu to the back of her mind, and as soon as she returned she immediately began explaining the mission to Ye Liuyun.

"Good, let's do a few simple missions to get moving; it'll also let us gauge the difficulty of missions in your sect—not bad at all."

After hearing that, Ye Liuyun also felt they were indeed relatively simple. He could only hope that, when the time came, he might also find some other resources incidentally; otherwise such missions would truly yield little gain.

He immediately stopped cultivating and, together with Liao Tianyang and the others, followed Chen Yueying outward.

The three missions Chen Yueying took are the simplest within the sect; the only difference is that the number of opponents one might encounter is relatively large, but their cultivation levels are not high.

One is to go to a place called Withered Wood Cliff to exterminate a band of refugee bandits, about thirty or more. Another is to go to Immortal Herb Mountain to seek a kind of shadowless grass; the mountain harbors some ferocious beasts of varying cultivation levels. The third is to go to a place called Blackwater Pool to slay a harmful Black Flood Dragon, whose cultivation is only at the fourth level of Taixu.

All three locations are on this planet, and Immortal Herb Mountain is even inside the sect. So they decided to go to Immortal Herb Mountain first.

But unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the inner sect, they ran into Qi Shengyu again. Ye Liuyun didn't know who Qi Shengyu was, but Liao Yaotian immediately reminded Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying was in the middle of explaining to Ye Liuyun the details of each mission and the dangers they might encounter; her thoughts were wholly focused on that.

"Junior sister!" Qi Shengyu shouted at her from afar again.

Upon hearing it, Chen Yueying couldn't help but frown.

Seeing her expression, Ye Liuyun knew this must be an annoying person. However, being merely a guard, he couldn't speak up for Chen Yueying.

"Senior Brother Qi, what's the matter?" Only when Chen Yueying approached did she ask lightly.

"I saw you took on a few missions, and your guards' cultivation is low, so I brought a few people to help you, lest you get into trouble." Qi Shengyu fawned over Chen Yueying with a flattering smile.

"Not needed!" Chen Yueying replied coldly, then continued leading Ye Liuyun and the others forward.

"Then how would that work, those"

"The number of bandits is so large, and the Black Flood Dragon's cultivation is high..." Qi Shengyu, thick-skinned, brought his people and followed up.

"I said it's not needed—don't you understand? Are you just idle all day? What missions I take have nothing to do with you!"

Chen Yueying originally disliked Qi Shengyu; now that Ye Liuyun is here, she doesn't want to give him a good face either. So she immediately flared up and retorted directly.

Qi Shengyu not only secretly probed what missions she would undertake, but also said that Ye Liuyun and the others lacked strength—indeed he is very annoying.

At that moment, Liao Yaotian also told Ye Liuyun what had happened before.

"He's just a somewhat despicable petty person; ignore him!" Chen Yueying also explained this to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't mind either. Given Chen Yueying's status and appearance, it's normal for someone to fawn over her.

Qi Shengyu also felt a bit embarrassed, but still put on a full-face smile while explaining to Chen Yueying: "I'm also worried about your safety..."

"What use is your concern? Don't meddle in my affairs!" Chen Yueying cut him off again, directly rebuking him, fearing he might say something that would displease Ye Liuyun.

She had always disliked Qi Shengyu before, constantly refusing and avoiding him, merely keeping things superficially tolerable. But now that she has Ye Liuyun in her heart, she naturally fears he might misunderstand, so she won't let him continue speaking.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this to me before!"

Qi Shengyu was also somewhat surprised, never expecting Chen Yueying to speak so directly this time, not giving him any face at all.

But upon hearing that, Chen Yueying became even angrier, worried that Ye Liuyun might misunderstand her.

"Qi Shengyu, speak clearly—how did I treat you before? When did I ever accept your fawning? Is it because I gave you face that you now speak without restraint?"

Chen Yueying's aggressive barrage of questions left Qi Shengyu momentarily unable to respond.

However, Liao Yaotian secretly chuckled, guessing that Chen Yueying flared up so much because she feared Ye Liuyun would misunderstand.

Ye Liuyun also smiled, thinking Chen Yueying did the right thing. For such thick-skinned people, one shouldn't give them face, or they'll pester endlessly.

Qi Shengyu swallowed his anger, not daring to show it toward Chen Yueying, but when he saw Liao Yaotian and Ye Liuyun laughing at him, he finally couldn't hold back his fury.

"How unreasonable, you two guards dare to mock this young master?"

He immediately released his aura, about to attack Ye Liuyun and Liao Yaotian; the few lackeys behind him also released their pressure.

Ye Liuyun didn't care about their pressure, but Liao Yaotian's expression changed instantly, his face draining of color from the shock.

Chen Yueying immediately drew her long sword, pointing it at Qi Shengyu and placing herself in front of Ye Liuyun and Liao Yaotian.

"How so? You still want to lay hands on my people?"
