Chapter 892: Maybe he's just grandstanding

Generally, newcomers start with the fixed missions distributed by the instructor, accumulating experience slowly, and only after they are familiar with the rules of the bounty hunter business will they come to the bulletin board to take missions.

Wu Wannian pushed through the crowd and came to Xu Tian, asking:

"Xu Tian, you take a Level 3 high-end mission now, and you won't have to do the fixed mission distributed by the villa."

"This kid still isn't giving up!" Zhao Mu also squeezed over and said snidely to Xu Tian, "Why bring humiliation upon yourself? It's not that shameful to just drop out!"

"Xu Tian, why do you have to joke with your future just to win an argument?" Liu Shasha saw that Xu Tian's expression didn't look like he was pretending, so she couldn't help but get anxious. "You are a newcomer who just entered the villa; how can a Level 4 bounty hunter take a Level 3 high-end bounty mission? This is no different from sending yourself to death!"

The mission Wu Wannian gave Xu Tian was dangerous, but it wasn't a mission that was guaranteed to be fatal. If Xu Tian really chose the Level 3 mission on the bulletin board, then he was truly dead.

Xu Tian wasn't willing to accept the mission Wu Wannian deliberately made difficult; the worst that could happen was leaving the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa. Wuji Dao was so big, and there wasn't only one bounty hunter academy. He was still so young; his future wouldn't necessarily have no way out.

But if he gambled on his life by taking a mission he couldn't complete just to win an argument, then he would never have another chance!

What's more, Wu Wannian was clearly in cahoots with Wu Qiankun, deliberately making things difficult for Xu Tian. To win an argument with such an instructor who abused his power, and to pay with his life, how not worth it!

The students watching around heard their conversation and roughly guessed the cause of the matter.

This kid who just arrived wasn't willing to accept the fixed mission assigned by the instructor, so he came to the bulletin board to take a higher-level bounty mission to replace it.

This decision was truly too unwise.

As more and more people watched, a graceful young woman arrived quietly and walked into the crowd.

Someone saw this young woman and showed an amazed and worshipful expression, but didn't dare to step forward to greet her.

"It's Senior Sister Qiao Yuqing..."

"The most powerful one among the disciples of the outer courtyard of Old Su, and the outside world is very optimistic that she will be officially accepted as a disciple by Old Su!"

"Heavens, it's actually Qiao Yuqing!"

"This Qiao Yuqing only arrived at the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa a year ago, but she has been promoted from a Level 4 bounty hunter to Level 1. It is rumored that she has accumulated a lot of experience points by doing missions recently and might soon become a Special-level bounty hunter..."

The young woman walked up to Xu Tian amidst the discussions and whispers of others.

"You are Xu Tian?"

Xu Tian shifted his gaze from the bulletin board to Qiao Yuqing and asked with some confusion.

"You know me?"

"Answer me first, are you Xu Tian?" Qiao Yuqing pursued without expression.

"..." Xu Tian always felt that this woman was a bit strange, like a robot, whose words and actions had to follow her own behavioral pattern. He even felt that if he didn't answer, the other party could ask until dark.

However, he didn't want to argue with this woman, so he nodded and answered.

"That's right, I am Xu Tian."

He had just entered the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa not long ago and hadn't participated in any group activities. How could this senior sister in front of him know him?

"Why do you know me?"

But this time Qiao Yuqing didn't speak again, instead staring at him and sizing him up.

Xu Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by her gaze, which was like dissecting an animal, so he simply ignored this strange woman and turned to continue looking at the bulletin board.

"Xu Tian, don't dawdle and waste everyone's time!" Zhao Mu urged impatiently.

"I think he regrets it and doesn't dare to choose, right?" Zhao Qianjiao sang along with her brother. "Admit your mistake to the instructor now, and then immediately return to the dormitory to pack your luggage and leave. Go back and rely on that incompetent uncle of yours. A place like the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa was never meant for you to enter!"

"Xu Tian, if you don't make a decision, I'll have the security office kick you out of the villa." Wu Wannian's eyes were cold and arrogant.

Facing the mockery of the three of them and the suspicious eyes of others around, Xu Tian walked to the bulletin board calmly and picked up one of the coins made of yellow brass.

In front of every bounty mission, there hung such a coin. The coin had the mission number on it. People who accepted the mission needed to take this special coin with the number to the mailbox next to it to take away the detailed precautions for this mission.

Every bounty academy had such a process. Although the tokens were different, the forms were basically the same.

These coins hanging on the bulletin board had numbers. Accepting a mission required registration. Even if someone died in the mission and their body was miserably disfigured, the identity of the corpse could still be identified through the number on the coin.

Everyone watched as Xu Tian took down a coin and stretched their necks to look at the bounty mission corresponding to the coin.

"Which mission did he take?"

"This kid really has guts. I originally thought he was just bragging!"

Liu Shasha finally squeezed in front of Xu Tian and found the corresponding bounty mission through the number on the coin.

"Level 1 bounty mission... Duel with Zhong Yu of the Azure Wolf Hall and make the other party admit defeat... This is..." Liu Shasha didn't react at first, until she read the mission content completely, and then she realized what kind of mission Xu Tian had taken.

"Xu Tian, are you okay? You took a Level 1 mission?" Liu Shasha wished she could press his shoulders and shake him desperately, wanting to shake the water out of his brain. "Do you know the difficulty of a Level 1 mission? Do you not want to live anymore?"

The others around heard Liu Shasha's shouting and only then knew that Xu Tian didn't take a Level 3 bounty mission, but a Level 1 one. And this Level 1 mission was actually a duel with Zhong Yu of the Azure Wolf Hall.

Any experienced bounty hunter wouldn't take missions related to the Azure Wolf Hall unless they really didn't want to live or had run out of options and bought a huge insurance policy. Otherwise, normal people wouldn't take the initiative to seek death.

"Maybe he's just grandstanding." Someone analyzed. "Anyway, he's going to be kicked out of the villa, so he's just trying to be in the limelight in front of everyone before he leaves to brush up his presence. Who says you have to complete a mission after taking it? He can still give it up..."

The crowd listened to his words and felt it was reasonable.

Before, there were newcomers who were eager to prove themselves and chose some high-level missions that were clearly impossible to complete, but no one had ever completed them. Most of them gave up after taking them.

It was estimated that this kid had the same plan. Even if he left, at least he would be famous in the Profound Heaven Tang family's mountain villa. ===== CHAPTER 893 =====
