Chapter 516: Inheriting from Daoist Priest Bu Yu, Naturally Belonging to the Mortal Cultivators

"Do a mission?" Lu Yang was confused. Why would she come to him to do a mission for no reason?

"Yes, Senior Brother Lu, you are knowledgeable and often travel in the outside world, so you must be handy at doing sect missions."

"Senior Brother, do you remember our first mission? It was the time we went to catch the Painted Skin Demon. If it weren't for you that time, the Painted Skin Demon might have gotten athlete's foot and run away."

"Since then, I have also gone out to do missions a few times. Although I completed them, the process was tortuous and involved a lot of luck."

"So I was thinking, could I ask Senior Brother to do a mission with me this time?"

Lu Yang was quite surprised: "The sect requires every disciple to do two missions a year. Junior Sister, you have already completed the goal, and 'Dreamy Bubbles' is selling well. Your wealth is more than that of Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and you don't have much need for contribution points. Why are you going out to do a mission for no reason?"

Tao Tao Yaoye gestured with a 'he-ha': "Naturally, it's to slay demons and eliminate evil. As disciples of a righteous sect, isn't it only natural for us to sweep away the injustices in the world?"

"Indeed."

"Then are you going with me, Senior Brother?" Tao Tao Yaoye put her hands behind her back, bent down slightly, and looked at Lu Yang expectantly.

Lu Yang pondered. In these three months, he had been dedicated to breaking through to the late Golden Core stage. During this period, Meng Meng Jingzhou had invited him many times, but he had refused. If he agreed to Junior Sister Tao, wouldn't he be suspected of valuing sex over friends?

"I'll go."

He inherited from Daoist Priest Bu Yu, and Daoist Priest Bu Yu was a mortal cultivator, so he naturally was one too.

As a mortal cultivator, it is not advisable to just stay in seclusion. It is very normal to go out to do missions and see the world.

"Great." Tao Tao Yaoye beamed with joy.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask Old Meng if he's going."

Tao Tao Yaoye had expected this and said with a smile: "I asked Senior Brother Meng already. He is in seclusion and can't get away."

"Is that so? Then let's go." Lu Yang felt a bit regretful; he had wanted to take a carriage.

It was just as well that the marriage proposal teams had been tricked away by Daoist Priest Bu Yu's conspiracy. Otherwise, if Lu Yang went out now, there would definitely be a group of Body Integration stage experts surrounding him, wanting to recommend their disciples, daughters, granddaughters... to him.

On the flying boat, Lu Yang asked what the mission was about this time.

"The mission comes from the family of Squire Song in Yuanhe County, Qingshui Prefecture, Yunzhou. Their family has a weird painting. Every time it reaches the hour of the Rat, the painting sends out weird sounds. Several passing cultivators have been to Squire Song's house, but they were all helpless against the painting. The last cultivator said that ordinary cultivators couldn't handle this painting and suggested Squire Song seek help from an immortal sect."

"Is that so."

The flying boat docked in Qingshui Prefecture. The two got off the boat, rented two horses, and rushed to Yuanhe County.

Arriving in Yuanhe County, they patted the horses' rumps, and the two horses ran back to their owner on their own.

"Are we going to Squire Song's house?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "No rush. Let's ask the people here about Squire Song's background and character, as well as the situation of the Song family."

"Okay."

The current Tao Tao Yaoye was very different from when she first entered the sect. Although she was beautiful when she first entered, she was still slightly green. Now she was eighteen, graceful, and playful, and she didn't know how many passersby looked back at her along the way.

Both of them had extraordinary temperaments, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not to be trifled with, so there was no incident of Tao Tao Yaoye being teased.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, put more vinegar in mine." Lu Yang picked a wonton stall.

"Coming right up."

The two bowls of wontons were served. Tao Tao Yaoye took a bite and whispered: "Senior Brother, the taste of this wonton stall is average."

"Average is right. It's almost mealtime, and there are not many people eating wontons, which shows how average the taste is."

"Then why are we eating here?"

"Business is cold, so the boss is willing to chat with us... Boss, how long has your stall been open?"

"It's been open for almost thirty years. I'm not bragging, who in the whole Yuanhe County doesn't know my wonton stall."

"Looking at you two, are you from out of town?"

"We are physicians from the neighboring Panlong Prefecture. Someone in the Song family is sick, so they invited us senior and junior siblings to take a look. We are not familiar with the place and haven't found Squire Song's house yet."

"Oh, you are looking for Squire Song. It's not far from here. Go straight from here, pass an intersection, turn left at a street, and you'll be there."

Lu Yang naturally knew it wasn't far from the Song family; he had specifically found the wonton stall near the Song family.

Lu Yang lowered his head, ate the wontons in small bites, and took a sip of the soup. It was really sour.

Seeing that Lu Yang stopped talking, it was the wonton stall boss who wanted to talk.

"Physician, who in the Song family is sick? Is it Squire Song?"

Inviting a physician from the neighboring prefecture showed how serious the illness was. This could be used as after-dinner gossip.

"This can't be said." Lu Yang smiled and shook his head, then as if remembering something, asked casually, "Boss, are you familiar with the Song family?"

"This Song family only emerged in the last twenty years, mainly relying on Squire Song. This Squire Song is also a character. When he was young, he passed the exam to become a Licentiate, but then he had no more fame and was mediocre. In middle age, he lost his wife and son and frowned all day long."

"Suddenly one day, I don't know what happened to this guy, he suddenly got enlightened and started doing business. I don't know how he did it, but anyway, the silver was more every day, and he became spirited. Later, he married a wife and had children, giving birth to three sons and one daughter."

"Squire Song is considered a kind person. He built two schools and donated many books."

Tao Tao Yaoye nodded after listening. It seemed that Squire Song was a good person. The only suspicious point was how he got enlightened and started doing business?

But this had nothing to do with the mission.

"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Lu Yang?"

A voice with a hint of surprise sounded, melodious and pleasant, delicate and numb.

Lu Yang turned his head and saw the person coming, also quite surprised: "Junior Sister Lan Ting?"

Lan Ting saw a familiar back at the wonton stall from far away and only dared to confirm it was Lu Yang when she got closer.

Seeing Lan Ting walk over, Tao Tao Yaoye stood up a step ahead, stood between the two, and greeted Lan Ting enthusiastically: "What is Junior Sister Lan doing here?"

Lan Ting smiled beautifully, too beautiful to look at directly: "So it's Junior Sister Tao. I only saw Senior Brother Lu Yang just now, I'm really sorry."

"As a cultivator, one should listen to all directions and observe from all sides. Junior Sister Lan's cultivation is not yet at home."

"Junior Sister Tao is wrong. Cultivators have strong insight, which is to avoid danger. Could it be that I will encounter danger here?"

Lan Ting continued to smile and said: "And with Senior Brother Lu Yang here, what danger could I encounter? Junior Sister Tao, you are underestimating Senior Brother Lu Yang."

Lu Yang heard the conversation between the two women and felt he should express something.

"Boss, another bowl of wontons."

The second update is around eleven o'clock.
