Yang Lujia was told that the Adventurers'' Association was actually a huge organization that had branches scattered all over the regions, except for the backward Third Region. The head of their association was especially disdainful of erecting a branch in that ce… or he might have an unpleasant memory of the ce—or so the rumor says as the youngdy told him.
"Oh, so that''s why." Yang Lujia felt enlightened after gaining new knowledge. "Alright, returning to issuing a mission. How was it? How am I going to do it?"
The youngdy then searched behind her for a paper and gave them to Yang Lujia. "This is the Mission Issuance Form. You just have to pay for it by giving us spirit stones as a reward with the addition of the issuance fee. Preferably, the spirit stones should be middle-level and above."
"Mission Issuance Form? Issuance Fee?" Yang Lujia was slightly taken aback. "How much is the issuance fee, though?"
"It depends on what mission you will issue, I mean, the difficulty of achieving it," the youngdy said, having a mischievous smile on her face. "If it''s something very difficult to achieve, it is naturally something that needs a high return."
"No need to waste any time. I just want to issue a mission. Can you feel in the Mission Issuance Form for me? I might make any mistakes during the process," he replied and put on a stoic face.
The youngdy just nodded subconsciously and even took the initiative to take in the paper she gave to Yang Lujia. "What kind of mission do you want to issue?"
Yang Lujia sighed as he said to thedy, "It''s actually quiteplicated as I only have a lead of one person and her entire n."
Hearing the "her" in his statement, it was as though all hopes went off her heart. It seemed like this young man in front of her already had someone in his heart. Nevertheless, she remained steadfast and replied with a stern expression, "No, you don''t have to worry about it. To tell you the truth, there are only 1 out of 10 missions that our association cannot solve. Pray, tell yours, Master Yang."
"Actually, this friend of mine went inside a mysterious space and she went out after the first year we went in because she seemed to have received dire news from her n. My subordinate said that her eyes, at that time, were full of worry and apprehension. I don''t know what exactly happened but I''m now here to find out the truth and am hoping to help her out of that predicament if I can," Yang Lujia borated. "Can you help me on this, youngdy?"
"No problem!" the youngdy suddenly replied vigorously.
It startled Yang Lujia a bit and just let out a light cough while staring at her. "What shall I do then? Would you not fill in the details in the Mission Issuance Form?"
"Ah!" The youngdy tremblingly and immediately wrote the details on the form. "Wait, what exactly do you want the adventurers to do?" She realized that the information was stillcking and asked Yang Lujia about the specifics.
"Her name is Lan Mingyue. She seems to be from the Lan n, from one of the Sacred Cities—"
"Her?" The youngdy''s eyes went as wide as saucers and looked at Yang Lujia, dumbfounded. "She is actually your friend?"
"Oh?" Yang Lujia was intrigued by her sudden reaction, causing one of his brows to rise. "You know her as well?"
The youngdy stabled herself and talked to Yang Lujia more seriously. "I see. So, she was the one you are trying to find information about. It''s not that I know her a lot but I know that she''s in the Top 25 of the Top 100 geniuses in the four regions.
"At such a young age, she had achieved high cultivation, enough to parry those at the top of the food chain in the Second Region. But I knew that this only happened because she was stimted by something that happened to their n. From then, news spread that she fled from her n and made her own name in the backward Third Region.
"I only know her as an impressive peer, but recently, I heard the news about their n. Do you want to hear it? Of course, if you want to, I would like to be the one to ept the mission you will issue."
Yang Lujia was surprised by this unexpected situation. The way he saw things from his perspective… turned out to be smoother than he thought it wouldn''t be.
Seeing her smile, Yang Lujia knew he had to pay a hefty price for it. But he did notck money, so he did not see any problem regarding it.
"So, when do we start?"
"Preferably, now." He smiled.
The youngdy was once again dumbstruck by this beautiful and iparable smile. She unknowingly blushed which made Yang Lujia feel strange.<novelnext></novelnext>
"You kept on getting red," he innocently said.
''Does she like me?'' he thought. ''Well, if so…"
"Lady, you don''t need to be shy. I just want information. That''s all," Yang Lujia teased.
The youngdy got flustered and hurriedly said in a trembling tone, "N-No, w-who said I''m shy!"
A roar ofughter came out from Yang Lujia''s mouth as she froze while reveling theugh she heard from this young man. It was so pleasant that she immediately wanted to kneel for him. That peal ofughter was seriously the prettiest one she had ever heard for the record.
If that ''man'' couldugh, however, it would also be the same as this young man in front of him. And there was no way they were the same person.
Both hadpletely different personalities.
"Forget about it. Now, tell me about it. Lan Mingyue and her n''s demise."
The youngdy decided to set aside her feelings for now and concentrate on what Yang Lujia asked. She had to act as though he was only a client to her and not some crush she found in the corner.
Lan Mingyue was a renowned youngdy of the Lan Family who was believed by many that she could clear a transcendent-level Sacred Area. However, ever since that incident happened in their family, she ran away while still young and forcefully built her own force.
The matter of clearing a transcendent-level Sacred Area was no joke, but people truly believed it. Thus, when Lan Mingyue decided to leave her n, thetter had be somewhat remote, because she was the only one who could let the n outshine the others in their Sacred City.
After several years, there was no news from the n. It was like they were a n that was forgotten by everyone. It turned out, however, that there was arger secret they held inside.
"Her father, the n head, their n''s patriarch, has been poisoned by someone. As for what kind of capabilities this person had, I am not certain yet. Nevertheless, it should be because of his affair with another woman."
She did not mean Lan Mingyue''s mother. She meant the one who Lan Mingyue had caught with her father having some warm bedtime. After he got sick then, this woman did not reappear in their eyes and seemed to have gone into thin air from the northwest part of the region.
"There must be something more than what she sees," Yang Lujiamented. "Whoever schemed this must be a very interesting person. Does your association know who he or she is? Or any leads on the woman who had an affair with Yueyue''s father?"
"Yueyue?" The youngdy nked out.
"Hmm?"
"Nothing." She sighed and continued to brush the weird feeling she had inside her heart. "Anyway, I don''t have any leads yet. However, some say that that woman was someone who could change into someone else. That was the intel our association had grasped and she was still currently within the Sacred Region. Also, I have news you might want. It''s also somewhat interesting."
"If she''s still within this region, I might have ways to find her. On the other hand, I am quite intrigued by yourst two sentences. What kind of news do you have in store for me?"
"Consider it a deal and I''ll tell you. Adding to the mission Ipleted earlier for you, it''s 5,000 spirit stones… high-level ones…" She touched her lips with her forefinger and looked at him seductively.
Yang Lujia was quite surprised. "Do you have a habit of licking your own fingers that you use when you wash your ass?"
The youngdy almost vomited what she ate in the morning after hearing what he said. It wasn''t vulgar. It was just too direct for her to take, but seeing his innocent eyes, she could really not tell or distinguish whether he really was innocent or not.
