I really don't get what today's mission is testing? Could it be that you're supposed to bring back what you filmed and fight your way back against bandits?" Little Turtle Jiang Tu said while bringing his companions into the space.

Jiang Yu's expression froze, she flashed away, "But the choice is ours; I'll go find Master Uncle Xia."

"Hey, aren't you going to look at the fish token?" Jiang Tu chased her outside the space, but Jiang Yu had already shut the door and run to knock on Master Uncle's door.

Xia Bing was about to meditate when she opened the door and asked, "Aren't you tired? Is your injury healed?"

Jiang Yu entered and said, "The injury isn't serious.

"Master Uncle, the sect only requires us to use magical artifacts when we set out; there's no rule forbidding us from taking a teleportation array back after we've captured something, right?"

Xia Bing raised her eyebrows: "Using the teleportation array requires you to provide your own spirit stones."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's teleport back to the sect's market right now to perfectly avoid possible ambushes along the way."

"Quickly and safely bring back the items; I believe the sect prefers disciples to return unharmed." Jiang Yu really doesn't lack a few hundred spirit stones now.

Xia Bing was about to say something when the door was knocked again; it was Ye Lian and Fan Zhou.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, you're also here to suggest we leave now, right?"
