Chapter 243 Can't fail! Chasing after the daughter-in-law [2 more](1/2)
Before he finished speaking, the darkness in front of his eyes suddenly dissipated.
Jun Muqian squinted his eyes before adapting to the surrounding light.
Then, she looked around and her pupils shrank slightly.
This is also a palace, but it is much larger than the outside, with a simple and heavy atmosphere.
Standing here is like going back to ancient times.
Moreover, there are actually several tall sculptures around the hall.
These sculptures are all carved from jade, with clear lines.
But what is very strange is that each sculpture has a wide cloth hanging from the top, covering the upper body of the sculpture, making its appearance and body shape completely invisible.
Jun Muqian also noticed that some sculptures were in a sitting position, with a lotus throne underneath them.
However, her attention was quickly drawn back, because Miss Ting, who had always been calm and composed, was holding her shoulders excitedly at this moment.
"What did you say? You met a creature with a body and a snake's tail in the Eternal Oasis?"
The man beside him was wearing a cloak and his face could not be seen clearly, but he was obviously very surprised.
"I saw it." Jun Muqian said in a calm voice, "Not only did I see it, I was almost eaten."
Moreover, she failed to understand what the mysterious young master said.
What does it mean to ask her to return something?
"This..." Upon hearing this, Miss Ting was stunned, "Eat?"
She glanced at the cloaked man with a confused expression.
The cloaked man's voice was solemn: "Can you provide proof?"
"There's nothing to prove." Jun Muqian chuckled, "I'm just asking why you have such a big reaction."
With one sentence, both Miss Ting and the man in the cloak fell into silence.
After a long time, Miss Ting slowly spoke: "Girl, all I can say now is that if you encounter similar creatures in the future, you must stay away and never have any contact with them."
After a pause, he added: "The rest of the matter is not because we don't tell the girl, but because your current status is very embarrassing."
Jun Muqian nodded slightly to express his understanding.
She had just chosen a mission, and was not even a candidate for the Divine Hunter. Naturally, she was not qualified to ask them to tell her the secrets of the temple.
I'm just a little curious, so I asked.
She smiled faintly: "Then, please tell me what these nine levels are."
There are many hurdles and high risks, but there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities.
"No, we don't know either." Unexpectedly, the cloaked man shook his head, "Your assessment tasks were not issued by us, but..."
He didn't say what he said next, obviously because Jun Muzhen didn't have enough authority.
"So what your mission is, Ating and I don't know yet."
Before Jun Muqian could speak, Miss Ting continued: "Although I can't tell you many things, there is one thing I can."
"There are nine envoys in the temple, and these nine correspond to your nine levels."
Miss Ting's expression became serious again: "When you are determined to take on this assessment task, the first level assessment task will be in the hands of the ninth envoy."
Jun Muqian pressed his head: "So I only need to find the ninth envoy. Can I take part in the assessment?"
She suddenly regretted why she took on this task and caused herself so much trouble.
"That's right." Miss Ting nodded, "You still can't understand the words on the feathers, so we can tell you."
She blinked at the man in the cloak, and he immediately said kindly: "Written on the feather is the direction of the ninth envoy."
"Eternal Oasis, Jinyao City, Wangchun Tower."
Jun Muqian glanced at the cloaked man: "Don't tell me that Wangchun Tower is actually a brothel."
The envoy of the temple is actually in the brothel?
Should I be a madam or an oiran?
"Ahem..." The cloaked man coughed awkwardly, "To be honest, Ating and I only found out about this."
"Just know?" Jun Muzhen felt something was wrong, "What does it mean to just know?"
"Let me explain it." Miss Ting glared at the cloaked man, "We don't belong to the nine envoys. Even among the nine envoys, we don't know who is who."
"So, we don't know exactly where these nine envoys are."
She clicked the feather: "There is only one place name here. You must be able to determine who is the ninth envoy."
Jun Muqian was silent for a moment, expressionless, and then turned around: "Then I quit."
For any assessment tasks, she even had to find the assessor.
"Hey!" Miss Ting said anxiously, "But you have already accepted it, how can you stop doing it?"
Jun Muqian raised her eyebrows: "Just think that I am retreating from the battlefield and don't want to be a divine hunter anymore."
"This is not possible." The man in the cloak said, "I told you that this assessment task was not issued by us. If you don't do it, you will suffer disaster..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, in the silent hall, there was a thunderous sound, like a stern warning.
Jun Muqian felt as if a thunderbolt fell next to her ears, shaking her body to numbness.
And when she looked back, she found that the originally flat and smooth ground was covered in charred black.
This proves that the thunder just now was not an illusion.
At this time, the man in the cloak finally finished the last few words with difficulty: "God damned."
The veins on Jun Muqian's forehead twitched, and she covered her ears. She really couldn't believe that such an operation was possible.
"Then what will happen if I fail the assessment task?"
"No, you must not fail." Miss Ting's expression was as serious as ever, "Everyone can fail, but you can't."
"This is funny." Jun Muqian curled her lips slightly, "All saints will fail, not to mention I'm just a mortal?"
She was noncommittal: "I will try my best and let nature take its course."
Miss Ting hesitated to speak. When she wanted to say something, she was pulled by the man in the cloak.
"Then I say goodbye to you two. It's time for me to go to Jinyao City to find your first envoy." Jun Muzhen pinched the feather in his hand and walked out without looking back.
Although she had made many turns just now, she clearly remembered the route in her mind.
Jun Muxian walked out easily without Miss Ting leading the way.
After she left, Miss Ting threw away the cloaked man's hand: "Why didn't you let me finish talking to her just now?"
The man in the cloak said calmly: "There is nothing to say. You have already reminded her not to fail."
"Hey." Miss Ting laughed, "I think you don't like this little guy."
The man in the cloak did not deny it: "How old is she? Seventeen or eighteen? By entrusting this kind of task to her, she is betting on the future fate of the temple. I don't dare to bet on it."
"Small things may not lead to big things." Miss Ting smiled slightly, "Besides, you are not the Lord of God, so how did you decide?"
The man in the cloak was silent for a while, and then he said: "Go to the trading center and have a look. They must have some purpose in coming to the Eternal Oasis."
"You don't need to say that." Miss Ting yawned, "But there's no point in me going there now, they should have left."
But cannibalism... A bit of doubt flashed in her eyes, they actually still have the habit of cannibalism?
They've collided so many times, why doesn't she know?
"Then strengthen the defense of the Eternal Oasis." The man in the cloak said coldly, "I will inform you that from today on, all divine hunters must take on external missions and cannot disobey."
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Miss Ting said casually, suddenly, "However, this shouldn't be the first time they appear in the Eternal Oasis."
"That's right." The cloaked man said solemnly, "The last time they appeared was twenty years ago."
As he spoke, the spiritual ladder he wore on his hand flashed with light, and a golden tail scale appeared between his fingers.
"I still keep these scales."
"Tsk, I have to say, it's quite beautiful." Miss Ting seemed to appreciate it very much, "But last time, it was because of the opening of the Ice and Snow Silver Fields, and this time it's not the time yet."
"No matter what, we can't let them do such evil things again." The man in the cloak sneered, "You are such evil-minded people!"
Miss Ting was silent for a moment: "Have you noticed that the little guy just now looks like the same person?"
"Who?" The cloaked man was surprised, "Could it be the divine hunter who made good friends with you in the past?"
"No one." Miss Ting sighed, "Maybe I thought too much, after all..."
That person also died twenty years ago, so his age doesn't match up at all.
Moreover, she remembered that he only had one son.
"Go to your post." The cloaked man didn't ask any more questions, "Don't let the group of five-star and below-level bastards outside think they can make a difference."
Miss Ting nodded and left.
