Chapter 2: Ruthless sword fairy
The courtyard was lit like daylight, and the laughter was exceptionally clear.
Yun Ranran stood in the place where light and shadow alternated, a little dazed.
Since Luo Yu joined the sect, she has suffered a lot, openly and secretly, and she often holds it in her heart, unable to express her suffering.
But she was always thinking about the good of her senior brother and master, and didn't want them to make things difficult, so she endured it silently, thinking that maybe she didn't do well enough, so she worked harder, never thinking that the truth is so ridiculous.
All those fellow disciples for whom she had given their lives were celebrating Luo Yu's birthday, completely forgetting about her, and having been deprived of her life for so many years, she wondered if there was such a person in this world, no matter what Under what circumstances, can you always remember her?
She clenched the sword in her hand, and finally turned and left.
Luo Yu, who was in the crowd, showed a satisfied smile when she saw Yun Ranran's leaving back, then she avoided the crowd and turned on the system.
Gu Yiting and Qingyun's favorability points have been maxed out, and the task of entering the Taihua Sect for the first time has been basically completed. Next, they must find a way to get close to the legendary man.
Tianyan Sword Immortal.
Tianyan Sword Immortal is the most mysterious existence of Taihua Sect, and the suzerain Taihua Immortal can't restrain him. He only knows that dozens of disciples will be dispatched to serve him every month or so.
But year after year, hundreds of disciples went there, but none of them returned. No matter how big Tianyan's Canglan Mansion was, it was impossible to accommodate these people. Therefore, some people speculated that those disciples might have died in Canglan. government.
That place is already full of bones.
But even so, Tian Yan, bearing the title of the No. 1 Sword Immortal in Kyushu, still attracted a large number of admirers, who feared and yearned for him.
Such an awesome person, who wouldn't want to have it in his pocket?
Originally, Luo Yu didn't dare to think about it, but now that she has a system, she was very excited when she thought of the scene of the cruel and ruthless peerless sword fairy being injured and fainted, and needing to rely on her for rescue.
The reward for completing the Qingyun strategy can be exchanged for Tianyan's whereabouts.
She restrained her excitement and asked the system in a low voice.
"Please tell me the exact location of Tianyan's latest crisis."
After a long time, the system responded.
【Three days later, Tianyan will be severely injured and will be unconscious by Qingxi Spring. 】
·
The next day Yun Ranran woke up early, in order to get close to Tian Yan, she made a rough plan, planning to go to the trading department to try her luck first.
The trading department is located in the second peak, which is a small trading place in the sect. Many disciples exchange magic weapons and issue tasks here.
When Yun Ranran arrived, it was crowded with people, and the place was always lively.
She walked to the water sign and checked the released tasks.
Most of them are asking to buy spirit stones, spirit herbs, go to the secret realm to practice together, etc., but there is one that is particularly special, and it is written like nonsense.
The person who announced it was Song Lingyun, a disciple of Ling Juefeng. The task was to find the missing senior brother Yun Jian. Yun Jian went down the mountain for training decades ago, disappeared since then, and never came back.
The task description says that as long as you provide the place where you once settled, you will be paid, and the reward is an ancient secret key.
The key to the secret realm can open the lost gate of the secret realm and find the hidden treasures of heaven and earth. Of course, it may also open the tombs of ancient demons and become nourishment for demon cultivators.
A sharp double-edged sword, but still a good thing.
But with this little clue, Yun Ranran could find a ghost, but Yun Ranran just glanced over it hastily, and didn't take it to heart.
Yun Ranran continued to look at the task bar, and soon, the things she was looking for came into view.
[I will purchase supplies in Taihua City in seven days, and I want to buy the wind magic circle inscribed on the carriage. Those who are interested will hand it in person at Canglan Mansion. 】
Yun Ranran pointed to that one, and analyzed it with Yupei.
"Look, the disciples of the Canglan Mansion go out to purchase supplies. As long as I run into them in Taihua City seven days later and inquire about them, I will be able to know Tianyan's preferences, and I will be one step closer to approaching him."
【…】
【It’s really not devious at all...】
"We will leave tomorrow. We will pass through Qingxi Town on our way to Taihua City. We will arrive in about three days. I heard that the Qingxi Spring in Qingxi Mountain is full of spiritual energy. I will take you to take a bath in the spiritual spring."
[Qingxi Spring? 】
"Yeah, that's a treasure trove of geomantic omen."
At this time, there was a loud fight outside, Yun Ranran jumped off the bench of the trading department, ran out to watch the fun, and saw several young disciples surrounding the two teenagers, punching and kicking them.
The two teenagers curled up into a ball, one wailed and burst into tears, the other remained silent, with nothing to love in life.
Looking at the dusty clothes, he looked like an outer disciple recruited by the sect general election a few days ago.
The status of the outer disciples was low, and their strength was also weak. If a word made the inner disciples unhappy, it was fine to be punched and kicked, and many of them lost their lives because of it.
Yun Ranran often meddles in this kind of nosy business, flicking the hilt of the sword with her thumb, the spirit sword comes out of its sheath, and there is a crisp sound of "squeaky". She is about to step forward, when a blur flashes in front of her eyes, and a familiar figure sweeps over everyone like a wind before.
"Stop it!" A clear female voice sounded.
Yun Ranran narrowed her eyes slightly, and saw the woman who stretched out her hand to stop the young men was Luo Yu.
Tiny beads of sweat hung on the tip of the girl's nose, and she was slightly out of breath from running anxiously. She rushed into the encirclement and stood in front of the two boys with angry and determined eyes.
"Who allowed you to bully the outer disciples? In our Taihua sect, there is such a thing of bullying. Since I have seen it, I can't ignore it."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several young people immediately sank.
"Where did you come from, what's your business, go away."
The young man was full of murderous looks, and the girl's fair cheeks were slightly flushed because of nervousness. She persistently stretched out her hands to protect the two behind her, and refused to back down even a single step.
The wailing boy behind the girl coughed up a mouthful of blood, and slowly opened his red and swollen eyes.
In the blurry world is the girl's fluttering white skirt, and the light penetrates her thin delicate body, giving her a shallow edge.
It was she who saved herself...
Both the eye sockets and the heart were hot, and tears fell down.
The young man in the lead glanced at the howling boy who was crying bitterly, and "spit" angrily.
"Damn it, shame on your face." After saying that, he drew out his spirit sword on the spot, wanting to give this woman some color.
The girl's complexion turned pale, and she bit her thin lips lightly, but she didn't back away at all. At the same time, she drew out her own spirit sword and assumed a fighting posture.
Although Yun Ranran was upset with Luo Yu, it was a matter of saving lives after all. She looked at the field and held the long sword calmly.
But the moment Luo Yu drew out the spirit sword, several young people suddenly became terrified, and some even backed away in panic.
"Isn't this the sword of the Qingyun Immortal? Who are you? Could it be that Luo Yu?"
Luo Yu: "So what?"
Those few people broke out in cold sweat immediately, who is Luo Yu, that is Qingyun Xianzun's sweetheart, how can they provoke him? He immediately apologized with a smile on his face.
"We were the ones who were rude, and we still invited Junior Sister Luo Haihan, I'm really sorry."
Luo Yu's pretty face was frosty.
"Aren't you going to get out soon?"
Those few people didn't dare to delay, and ran away in a panic.
At this moment, many disciples had already stopped to watch. Seeing this, they all laughed at the few people who had escaped, and they naturally admired Luo Yu's gaze.
Luo Yu was very useful, she put away her sword, and hastily bent down to help the two teenagers up. One of them looked at her with gratitude and admiration, as if he regarded her as the light of salvation.
The other was silent from the beginning to the end, and did not make a sound even after being beaten. At this moment, he also hung his head and did not respond.
Luo Yu was worried and comforted softly.
"Okay, it's okay, you go back and recuperate well, if they trouble you again, just report my name."
The wailing boy was so moved that he burst into tears, expressing with his nose and tears that he would repay today's kindness with his life.
The other remained silent.
Luo Yu couldn't help feeling a little strange, it shouldn't be.
She turned on the system and saw that the task that had just been refreshed was still hanging on the panel.
[One-Star Rescue Mission - Rescue the Dying Outer Sect Disciple]
【Progress 50%】
[Do you want to settle now? 】
not complete…
This mission was refreshed when she first arrived at Chaotic Mountain. The protagonist of the one-star rescue mission is usually a passerby, which does not help the main line and can only get a small amount of points. She didn't want to take it at first, but suddenly thought of performing a difficult five-star mission. Rescue mission - Tianyan Sword Immortal, that ancestor is deadly, and he always has to save points to exchange for a few more life-saving props, so he chooses to accept it.
Unexpectedly, I encountered a difficult...
If it is a mission of three stars or higher, she will be more patient, a waste of a one-star mission, should she be coaxed? He deserves it too?
The turmoil in his heart was turbulent, but it didn't show on his face at all, Luo Yu was about to perfunctorily persuade her, but the boy completely ignored her, turned around suddenly, clutched his chest and staggered towards the edge of the cliff.
Luo Yu was furious, but she saved him, why is this man so ignorant, she lowered her eyes to suppress the turbulent emotions.
In the eyes of everyone, it was the rescued boy who was a stubborn bastard, and the girl's eyes were reddened by grievances, and the voice of accusation was everywhere.
The young man turned a deaf ear, dragged his stumped body all the way to the edge of the cliff, and then jumped in full view of everyone.
He actually jumped off a cliff!
The scene instantly became silent.
Luo Yu watched coldly, showing no intention of helping.
Yun Ranran was originally watching from the edge of the cliff, but at this moment she was startled, made a decisive decision, Yu Jian quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff, followed the young man and jumped down, almost stopped him halfway, raised his breath, and dragged the young man back to the ground.
As soon as he got back to the ground, he was thrown away. The young Gululu rolled into a ball, and then sat cross-legged, with his swollen pig's head hanging down, without saying a word.
Before Yun Ranran could adjust her breath, Luo Yu rushed over, hating her indisputable words.
"Did I save you just to send you to die?"
"You are so young, what's wrong with you?"
"Go back and live a good life, don't make trouble."
When these few words were thrown out, the other party would respond no matter what, but the young man held his head and remained silent.
Luo Yu thought to himself that there are many one-star missions, at worst, the next one will be saved, and one will be saved anyway, so he can get half of the points, so just ignore it.
The onlookers followed suit with some persuasive words, but the young man didn't give in, and was rude to his savior, so naturally he couldn't win everyone's favor, and some got angry and even scolded.
"Be far away, don't cause trouble for my Tai Huazong."
"Senior Sister Luo saved him without even a word of thanks, tsk tsk, it's really not worth it."
Luo Yu retreated into the crowd, and immediately someone came forward to comfort him, and then more and more abuses were directed at the young man, and the voice of discussion became an impenetrable net.
The young man sat alone in the net, looking hopeless.
At this moment, Yun Ranran squatted down beside him with a smile.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
don't say anything.
"Why do you want to die? Because you were bullied by them?"
No response.
"It's true that low-qualified immortals are progressing slowly and often feel frustrated, but they are better than before if they persevere."
Continued silence.
"Still hurt?"
There was still no response, not even the slightest change in the rhythm of breathing, as if she hadn't heard her voice at all.
Yun Ranran pinched his chin curiously, forcing him to raise his face.
His clothes were torn, full of footprints and blood stains, his face and mouth were swollen, and the circles around his eyes were also black and blue, making it impossible to distinguish his appearance.
He looked at her calmly, neither resisting nor speaking.
There was indeed no desire to survive in the pitch-black eyes, but he really wanted to die.
Yun Ranran suddenly felt a little sad. What did she have to go through to have such eyes?
She thought for a while, and said softly.
"Well, I just happened to go down the mountain and I have something to do. I'll take you to see the world. If you still want to die, I'll let you go."
Not knowing which word touched him, the boy looked up at her.
Yun Ranran held his wrist with a smile.
"I'm a rascal, and I won't let go of what I like."
"I won't respect your opinion, from now on, you listen to me."
The young man was startled, and returned to the previous state of dead silence, but although he lost the will to live, fortunately he didn't resist, being dragged by Yun Ranran, he remained motionless.
Yun Ranran did what he said, and really dragged him to the teleportation array.
Because there were only Yun Ranran and the young man in the middle, someone sneered.
[Look at Yun Ranran, the person that Senior Sister Luo rescued, she ran over to pretend to be kind, it's really ridiculous, does this have to be a sense of existence? 】
[Don't worry about her, you have to learn from Senior Sister Luo in everything, it's just an imitation. 】
Luo Yu's red lips curved slightly.
Refreshing!
The favor was gained, the task was completed, and the points were also taken. Yun Ranran was very stupid. When everyone hated that boy, he rushed to show it. Isn't this a slap in the face of everyone?
But for an unimportant passer-by, Yun Ranranai just took it away, she opened the system disdainfully, the task completion rate was still 50%, she immediately clicked Settle now.
The system immediately issued a "ding dong ding dong" notification sound.
[One-Star Rescue Mission - Failed to save the dying outer disciple]
[50% points settlement completed]
This was all in her expectation, and there was no loss anyway.
Immediately afterwards, the system beeped twice, usually nonsense asking her to work harder next time.
Just when she was about to skip it in a hurry, a row of words appeared on the system panel quickly.
[Five-star rescue mission Tianyan Sword Immortal pre-mission - failed to save the dying outer disciple]
What?
Tianyan Sword Immortal's pre-quest?
She looked at the teleportation array in horror. At this moment, Yun Ranran and the boy's shadow just disappeared in the teleportation array.
Luo Yu's face turned ashen for a moment.
