When they arrived at the Cultivators' Guild in the north island, the hall was as crowded as ever. When they were about to look for tasks related to the south island, a weird voice suddenly came from behind. "Yo, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. I didn't expect to meet you in this place. Lu Bianren, do you think it's my luck or your misfortune?"
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled and quickly turned around to look behind them. Ma Daoqiang was swaggering in front of the door with his arms swinging in the air, and behind him were two flattering lackeys. Both of them were Clear Cloud Pavilion's new disciples.
The people around immediately talked about it. Ma Daoqiang was now a household name in the north island. Those who didn't know him were too embarrassed to go out. No matter where he went, he was the absolute focus.
"You want to fight again?" Lu Bianren's face darkened. Although he was gentle, he couldn't help getting angry at the thought of what happened last time. He said coldly, "This is a public place. If you are sure you can bear the consequences, we will fight you to the end."
While Lu Bianren was talking, Qiao Hongcai and others were eager to have a try. Although they knew they were no match for him, since they met on a narrow road, there was no reason for them to run away in embarrassment. As a man, the worst thing was to die. What was there to be afraid of? What's more, they were still trying to get revenge for what happened last time!
"You're pretty tough, aren't you?" Ma Daoqiang sneered and raised his eyelids. The killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he finally restrained it and said carelessly, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood today. I'll spare your lives, but it's hard to say next time. So I advise you to stay away and live a long life if you know what's good for you."
What he said was beautiful, but in fact, Ma Daoqiang wasn't so kind. The reason why he didn't fight like last time was that there were too many people here and he was afraid.
After all, among them, there was not only Gu Yue, the Third Pavilion Master of Welcome Pavilion. Moreover, there was also Xiao Ran, the newly promoted Second Senior Brother of Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Gate Supervisor. If he killed them in public, it would definitely be a big event that would cause a sensation in the north island. No matter how much the higher-ups of Blue Cloud Pavilion thought highly of him, they didn't dare to speak up for him.
"Same here," Lu Bianren said coldly as he stopped Qiao Hongcai and the others who were about to attack. He lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and find the missions to go to the south island. Take all the available ones. Don't let this bastard get ahead of you!"
Everyone was shocked. Only then did they react, and they quickly split up to search. Ma Daoqiang must have come here with the same intention. The words he said before were not just empty words. They must not let him get ahead of them.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ma Daqiang was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that they also wanted to take the task and go to the south island. After a sneer, he swaggered into the mission hall and forced the others to give him a table to sit down. Then he sent his two followers to look for missions.
The north island and the south island were thousands of miles apart, and they had nothing to do with each other. Therefore, although there were all kinds of reward missions on the mission list, the missions related to the south island were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. You might not find one in ten days or half a month. It was pure luck that Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao could get one last time.
Lu Bianren and the others searched up and down for a long time, but finally found nothing. Only Li Zhengming stopped in the most inconspicuous corner. On a shabby yellow wooden mission board, there was a line of small words: Collecting Rare Spiritual Herbs in Lufeng Forest in the south island! Time limit: Unlimited; number of people. Unlimited.
This was a team mission of the south island tailor-made for them! Li Zhengming was overjoyed at once. He quickly took off the wooden mission board, winked at Lu Bianren and the others, and then hurried to go through the procedures to receive the reward mission.
However, when Li Zhengming and the others came to the place to receive the mission, they found that the person sitting there swaggeringly was Ma Daqiang! The steward of the guild was standing aside, bowing and bowing. Everyone knew that Ma Daqiang had a bright future, especially now that he was the second senior brother of the inner core steward of Blue Cloud Pavilion. Of course, they would try their best to win over such a big shot.
"Steward Zhou. You should know why I'm here this time. If you have any team mission to the south island, hurry up and take it out. Those two idiots haven't found it for a long time. Did you hide it? "Ma Daqiang said carelessly, crossing his legs.
"What are you talking about? Our reward mission is for everyone to do. How can we hide it on purpose? What's more, Steward Ma, we wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if we had ten thousand guts! " The steward smiled apologetically and said, "Steward Ma, there are few missions to the south island. It's rare to see one every ten days or half a month. It's normal that we can't find it for a while."
"Don't talk nonsense. Just tell me whether you have it or not. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Ma Daqiang curled his lips impatiently.
"I don't think so …" The steward scratched his head awkwardly. At this time, a staff sitting not far away suddenly came over and whispered something. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes! There's a mission to collect rare spiritual herbs in the south island. It's been left empty because the reward isn't high enough, and the chamber of commerce hasn't canceled it, so it's been forgotten. Are you interested, Senior Brother Ma? "
"Then I'll take this one." Ma Daqiang nodded. He came to receive the mission just for an excuse. The reward was secondary, and he didn't care about it at all.
"Sorry, we've already received this mission." Lu Bianren suddenly walked in, holding the wooden mission board in his hand and smiling faintly.
"What?" Ma Daqiang was stunned at first. He looked carefully at the wooden mission board in Lu Bianren's hand, and his face immediately darkened. He didn't expect that these cowards were also here to receive the mission of the south island, and they were one step ahead of him!
"Steward, please help us register." Lu Bianren didn't care about Ma Daqiang at all, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Although his strength was not as good as Ma Daqiang's, it was also a relief to be one step ahead of him in this matter.
"This …" The steward couldn't help but look at Ma Daqiang awkwardly. According to the rules of the North Island Cultivators Guild, of course, it was first come, first served. Since Lu Bianren and the others got the wooden mission board first, this team mission of the south island undoubtedly belonged to them. But wouldn't it be obvious that they were offending Ma Daqiang?
"What? Have the rules of the North Island Cultivators Guild changed, and there's even a problem with receiving a mission? " Lu Bianren frowned slightly. If the steward sided with Ma Daqiang in this matter, then he would have to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, the reason was on his side. (To be continued)
