Chapter 294: Taking Another Mission
"You"re fast."
Lin Xiao"s lips twitched. Based on the Qi that lingered on the air, he could already guess that the people who had fallen were all Golden Core Stage 2… His big brother was even capable of killing Golden Core Stage 2 Cultivators like killing chicken?
Sun Dragon Academy only accept geniuses.
It seems that such a saying was absolutely the truth. Those who managed to graduate from Sun Dragon Academy would have prowess that was truly comparable to the powerhouses. It was no wonder that there were a lot of people in Sun Kingdom who wished that they could enter the academy.
If they could survive in the end, they would become very powerful and possibly unmatched.
"They"re not my match," Lin Xiao replied swiftly. He then looked at the people below and realized that they were the people whom Prince Lin Yan made deal with in the underground bar.
His eyes narrowed. "Why did they make the move by themselves?"
"That underground bar is a secret place and they"re there both for fun and also to earn money. Most of them are the children of some local tyc.o.o.n and have some money to even treat Golden Core Stage Cultivators as slaves.
However, it didn"t change the fact that they can"t ask their parents for help. If they asked their parents and their parents know the reason why they need more forces, they would be kicked out of the house.
Slavery alone is already borderline illegal in Hua Lan Kingdom. Added with the fact that they"re using other people"s live to trade for money and enjoyment, they"ll not be able to get away from punishment that"s already stated in the law.
Thus, they have to do it by themselves."
Lin Xiao was speechless. It was no wonder that Prince Lin Yan always asked Hu Fei to transfer them to the latter"s mansion. They were all being chased by the other young masters who wanted to take their lives.
If they had this battle before, it was clear that they wouldn"t be able to come to the bar anymore because there was not even any use to go there.
Swish!
Princess Lan Yi Hua appeared next to Lin Xiao. Her hands were holding the twin swords while her eyes were looking at the pile of corpse before her without any expression. For her, it was extremely common to see a pile of corpses because her missions always required her to leave a trail of blood.
It was only the ranking that was slightly higher this time.
"Done?"
"En."
Prince Lin Yan waited for another minute and Xia Ye appeared next. He was melding completely into the darkness and looked as if he could use the cover of darkness to even transfer his current position almost immediately.
It took some time before Prince Lin San appeared. He was startled when he saw the others were already there. "Big Bro, is this the reason for the 1 week"s rule?"
"Mhm." Prince Lin Yan nodded. "We"ll take mission when it"s morning and leave this city."
"Ok."
They all already understood that it was impossible for them to even stay in this city any longer. If they dared to do so, it was clear that they would have more problems.
As for using the teleportation circle… that was possible but their ident.i.ty would be questioned. It was already strange enough that they were using those for 7 days" straight. Any more and there would be more people who were suspicious.
While waiting, they all headed to the Mercenary Hall and walked in. It was open 24 hours a day but they could only accept missions after 6 AM in the morning. The place was only open for those who wanted to drink.
Prince Lin San was staring at one edge. "Big Bro, are we allowed to drink?"
Prince Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. "You"re only 17. And it"s not good to drink too much, wait until you"re 22."
Prince Lin San: "…" 5 more years? How cruel, Big Bro!
Lin Xiao: "…"
They didn"t speak anymore as they tried to recover their strength as much as possible. The money they earned so far was already a lot but it would definitely take more time for them to get more money if they had to wait until they reached the next city.
Time pa.s.sed ever so slowly while Lin Xiao silently drew the Dragon words in his mind. It couldn"t be helped; he didn"t have anything that he could do anymore while waiting in this place.
When it was morning, Prince Lin Yan walked to the counter. "I want to take this mission."
"Are you sure?" The woman was startled. "It"s low grade mission."
"For my team." Prince Lin Yan pointed at the group behind him.
Upon realizing that the overall power of the team was actually quite low, the woman nodded. "Alright, I"ll arrange it. There are two other teams who will partic.i.p.ate in this mission, you can meet them at the gate in one hour. This is your identification mission badge."
"Ok."
Walking back to the group, Prince Lin Yan only beckoned for them to follow him. Lin Xiao looked at his big brother curiously. "What kind of mission is that, Big Bro?"
"Escorting mission."
"…Who did we escort this time?"
"Lady Mu Xiao Ya and also Lady Lei Xing Yi."
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. He didn"t know any of them!
Princess Lan Yi Hua"s eyes gleamed when he heard that and slightly lowered her hood. She had met with Mu Xiao Ya before and naturally knew that she was from Mu Family, which was one of the biggest n.o.ble family in Hua Lan Kingdom.
It could be said that it was impossible for the two to never meet.
"What did that annoying person do in such a remote city? Ah, I heard that there"s a rumor that she"s sick due to some weird disease…"
Princess Lan Yi Hua"s eyes turned cold as she glanced over to Lin Xiao.
