Chapter 31: What Is Manners?

Qin Yi's face remained smiling, but his heart was stunned for a moment.

Even Xue Chan was startled to hear that.

This squid-like creature, did he just say something rude about me?

Does he think I got this mission by pleasing the clerk?

Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel reminiscing about his conversation with Gao Peng yesterday.

He heard from Gao Peng this kind of mission like this was highly sought after by the disciples. Its task is relatively easy and safe, and the prizes are also pretty good.

What's more, if you work well, you might have a chance to get the favor of the person who issued this mission.

Therefore, as soon as a mission like this appeared in the Mission Hall, the disciples would immediately grab it.

In Qin Yi's case, he was lucky because most of the disciples who met the requirements were not around when this mission came out.

Gao Peng said that most of the disciples were probably at the Rejuvenate Pond; they were still waiting for a chance to appear there.

Yet, Qin Yi did not hear any major news at the Rejuvenate Pond yesterday.

However, what made him even more confused was that since this rude male disciple also got this yellow mission, why did he make it like Qin Yi took his spot?

Isn't it great that you got this mission's quota?

Then why are you so hostile towards me?

Don't tell me it's because of my low cultivation base?

Did he even carefully read the contents of this yellow paper mission?

As successive questions surfaced in his mind, Qin Yi suddenly heard the rude male disciple say again.

"Forget it. It's none of my business how you get the spot. Who cares about a weakling like you anyway, but I hope you don't get in the way and mess up our mission. Otherwise, if something wrong happens here, you'll be the first person I'll ask."

Hearing the rude male disciple say this, Qin Yi couldn't help but sneer coldly in his heart.

'Let's see, who would mess up here!'

Meanwhile, Xie Chan stayed quiet. She neither did interfere nor say something when the rude male is acting rudely toward Qin Yi.

However, upon seeing these two say nothing more, she finally opened her mouth, "Well, since we are working together here, please remain professional and avoid any disputes; lest Senior Sister Lan or Elder Huang are not satisfied with our performance. First of all, let's talk about our shifted-work!"

The rude male disciple, "I will stay here from morning until noon."

Xie Chan nodded as she did not mind it.

She had many things to do in the morning. If possible, she did not wish to stay here at that time.

"Since fellow disciple Lu takes the morning until the afternoon shift, then I will take the afternoon until the sun sets shift. What do you think, fellow disciple Qin?"

What can he say?

Since these two have already made a choice on their own, Qin Yi can only accept it.

The two of them were basically ordered Qin Yi to stay here for the night.

And there is no room for discussion for him.

However, Qin Yi did not object to this assignment. In fact, it was good because they both gave him time to practice from morning to evening.

It was no different from her previous schedule.

"No problem, I'll stay here for the night."

"Good!" Xie Chan nodded and was satisfied with Qin Yi's answer.

"Since we have chosen our respective assignments, then it's settled. For now, we can familiarize ourselves with this place, and we can also ask each other or exchange ideas if there is something here that you can't understand."

When the discussion was concluded, everyone here, including Qin Yi, spread out in different directions and learned more about this place.

In Qin Yi's place, he was observing the heaven and earth materials one by one.

He recorded it in detail and care.

Since he had already extracted them all, he naturally had to plant them later in the Mystical Garden.

Thus, it is necessary to learn from this garden.

***

As time passed, Qin Yi discovered that Xie Chan and Lu Yun had gathered several times and discussed something about something.

They thoroughly regard him as an extra.

They might think that even if they asked Qin Yi, he would not be able to answer.

In this world, a lack of strength is sometimes also regarded as a lack of knowledge.

But Qin Yi did not really care about these two's actions.

With their shallow backgrounds, he is practically sure that their knowledge is not much different from Qin Yi's or even less.

Even though he lost in terms of cultivation base and experience, he each had rich knowledge. It was mainly because he had read many knowledge books for an unknown amount of time in the system storage.

In addition, he also has a system that can at least tell the names of the heaven and earth materials here. The rest of the specifics, he could look it up in books.

Time is passing by...

When the day turned dark, Xie Chan finally came to Qin Yi and said: "Fellow disciple Qin, night has come. It's time to live up to what we discussed earlier."

Qin Yi nodded, "No problem, leave the rest to me."

"Then, I will trouble you."

After that, Xie Chan turned around and gradually left the peak.

Meanwhile, Lu Yun did not say anything, and Qin Yi did not expect it either.

However, he saw that the guy was looking at him with a face full of ridicule.

His actions made Qin Yi baffled and irritated.

'What the hell wrong with this squid?'

He tried to recall whether he had met this person before and had offended him somehow.

However, after such a long time, he still couldn't remember meeting this person, much less their dispute.

Never mind...

Qin Yi decided to stop thinking about it.

Although he was pretty displeased with Lu Yun's existence, he could only endure this situation for the time being.

His priority right now was to complete this mission well and earnestly.

Qin Yi walked to the garden hut at the north end of the Hundred Flowers Garden and sat there.

Actually, the growth of heaven and earth materials does not always have to be watched by people.

They are, after all, heaven and earth materials, unlike ordinary plants that can't even live without water.

As long as they were planted in an environment that matched their characteristics and had sufficient spiritual energy, nothing would happen to them under normal circumstances.

The heaven and earth materials in the Hundred Flowers Garden were growing well.

Lan Qinhua or Elder Hua should only have to check from time to time.

However, in Elder Hua's case, she seemed to want all her precious plants to be guarded within twenty-four hours.

Qin Yi was not sure whether it was an obsession or something else...

However, he could feel that Elder Hua's love for the plants here was undeniable.

Anyway, since Qin Yi has nothing to do and nobody here, he might as well enter the Mystical Garden and continue his unfinished lake.

***

When the sun rose to the surface, Lu Yun came to the Hundred Flowers Garden again.

He still has scorn eyes towards Qin Yi while asking him to leave.

"You can go!"

Qin Yi was quite annoyed with Lu Yun's attitude.

This squid completely ruined his mood in the morning!

Thus he ignored this guy and nonchalantly walked past him.

Witnessing this, Lu Yun was a little angry: "What kind of attitude is that? As expected from the people who came to the Novices' Quarter, you really have no manners!"

Qin Yi stopped his footsteps and frowned, 'How did this guy know that I came from the Novices' Quarter? Is he investigating me?'

'If so, what for?'

'Why is he so hostile to me even though the two of us have never met before?'

Qin Yi turned around slowly.

He looked at Lu Yun, who is staring at him coldly, then asked in a surprised and puzzled expression: "Manners? What are manners? I've never heard of that word. Does Brother Lu know what manners are?"

Lu Yun was dumbfounded after he heard Qin Yi ask like that with such a face.

However, before he could respond, Qin Yi spoke again innocently,

"It looks like Brother Lu doesn't know manners either, but why did those words come out of your mouth? How funny Brother Lu is. In that case, I'll ask Sister Xie Chan what manners are, and...does she also not have manners like me?"

After that, Qin Yi immediately left regardless of Lu Yun's reaction.

However, when he reached the foot of the mountain, he faintly heard Lu Yun's yell from afar.

But he disregards it.
