“Junior Sister!” Di Hongyun’s voice boomed, echoing as he rushed over. “Junior Sister, wait for me!”
Gu Chaoyan glanced at Di Hongyun, her expression one of surprise. She had a.s.sumed that after their interaction yesterday, Di Hongyun would retreat to his own social circle and keep his distance from her.
To her bewilderment, the morning greeted her as if nothing had transpired between them. Gu Chaoyan was left in the dark, unsure about the sudden change.
She nodded in acknowledgment and adjusted her pace, walking alongside Di Hongyun.
Di Hongyun’s voice carried an enthusiastic tone that seemed incongruent with the mission he was currently on. His demeanor exuded enjoyment, and he spoke with a grin, “I’ve been wondering about the outcome of my request yesterday. You know, Junior Sister, whenever you have the time, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could help me acquire a decent sword. Mine pales in comparison to yours, a mere shadow of its brilliance.”
“Of course,” Gu Chaoyan replied.
Di Hongyun was taken aback by her prompt agreement. He hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that his junior sister would invest so much time and effort into crafting a sword for him. It was as though she had been eagerly waiting for his request.
This peculiar behavior from his junior sister left him flabbergasted. She defied his previous a.s.sumptions. He had initially categorized her as aloof, yet she was now willingly offering to forge a sword for him.
His perception of Junior Sister was undergoing a complete s.h.i.+ft, and it was confusing him to no end.
In the midst of this confusion, Gu Chaoyan’s feelings were equally mixed when it came to Di Hongyun. Strangely, he bore a resemblance to her own younger self from a past life.
However, her past life had led her into encounters with unsavory characters, ultimately shaping her into a cold-blooded and unfeeling individual. Then, along came Di Hongyun, unexpectedly crossing paths with her.
A subtle shake of Gu Chaoyan’s head followed.
They arrived at their designated meeting point – the Bounty Pavilion. This location served as the congregation spot for disciples embarking on missions, rendering it the most fitting choice.
The mission’s leader hailed from the Fist Sect. Sharing a cultivation level identical to that of Shao Simiao, a ninth level Paragon Warrior, the leader’s prowess was more than adequate for the task. Those led by this accomplished disciple were also of satisfactory cultivation levels.
In addition, a select few Paragon Warrior level disciples were present.
Beyond this, the cream of the crop among disciples had also a.s.sembled.
Such a formidable lineup was a rarity for standard missions, signifying the paramount importance attached by the sect.
Given the mult.i.tude of disciples who had gone missing, coupled with the precarious situations some had faced on Longdi Mountain, it was imperative for the Supreme Sect to exercise vigilance and caution.
Regarding Gu Chaoyan and Di Hongyun, the leading Fist Faction disciple didn’t hold them in high regard. Instead, he directed his courteous attention towards Lv Zhengyang.
In his a.s.sessment, the duo appeared ill-equipped for partic.i.p.ation in the mission. Having encountered the Undead Race before, the leading disciple perceived them as unremarkable figures, not warranting special attention. Furthermore, Gu Chaoyan’s declarations in front of the Elders had sown seeds of uncertainty about her in the minds of many.
In addition…
Di Hongyun wore a clear expression of displeasure.
Gu Chaoyan remained unfazed by his reaction.
She stood at the periphery in tranquil antic.i.p.ation.
Di Hongyun indulged in a brief outburst before lapsing into silence.
With the complete a.s.sembly of partic.i.p.ants,
The entourage finally set forth toward Xuhai City.
Xuhai City lay at a considerable distance from the Supreme Sect.
Desolate and uninhabited for a century, the city bore an air of abandonment since its last occupancy..
