Chapter 118 - Meeting Meng Shu Again

Jian was in the inner area of the city. He was with Meng Shu's guard Fang Ning and was looked at the recruitment office which he had rented from the Soaring Cloud Pavilion. 

Fang Ning brought him here to show him the recruitment office. It was at the border of the inner and outer areas of the city. The area in which it was built was not nice but it was manageable do Jian didn't have any problem with it.

So he immediately agreed to rent it. Fang Ning was happy and immediately completed the process and gave him a token. After giving Jian a token he left him telling about the auction. 

As Fang Ning left Yu Yang and his team came out of hiding and immediately greeted Jian. They immediately went inside the office and started to check it with Jian.

It took them half an hour to completely look check the office. The office was not that large. It had only two rooms and one hall.

"Is everyone ready?" Jian asked them when they were gathered in the hall. He didn't want to waste more time so he explained them. 

Everyone immediately became nervous. They knew that they were here for the mission but they still got nervous when Jian talked about it.

Everyone nodded and Jian continued " Yu Yang will explain the mission but your mission is to collect information on the sects and newfound tombs and inheritance. 

While doing this you all have to be careful cause while collecting information you will come into contact with the sect who will find out about you. So be careful and run whenever you can't compete with them.

You also don't need to worry about time. You can focus on completing the mission very carefully. You should understand the mission is not more important than your life. So whenever you are stuck in a dangerous position and can't handle you should protect yourself first."

Everyone nodded now they finally understood the mission and understood its importance. They knew that they would be in trouble if the sects found out that someone was collecting information on them.

Jian handed a scroll it contained info about the mission and everything else. Yu Yang took it and kept it inside the storage ring. 

" You will live here but don't attract attention and if someone comes to find out about you so you can hide here and even if someone finds you then you should tell that you are from our sect and have opened this recruitment office.

Once a week I will meet you outside the city gate so you should collect as much as possible and send it to me it doesn't matter if it is perfect or not.

So everything is settled for now. I am going to the sect tower and you should not worry for this week I will be heard so go and plan your mission."

Yu Yang and his team stood up and left the recruitment office. Jian sigh and sat down. He knew that the mission is going to be difficult and was expecting Yu Yang and his team to safety.

Although he could get every bit of the information from the Soaring Cloud Pavilion as they also sold the information but he wanted to find the information himself.

The reason was that he wanted to find everything about the sects. He didn't want their information about how many disciples they have or what is there strength is. He wanted to find out how they worked. What is the difference between them and other sects? How they followed their theocracy? What is there theocracy?.

What he wanted was personal and deep information about the sect. Which was nearly impossible to get. So the mission was most dangerous and Jian had told them to be careful multiple times. 

He couldn't help but think about their safety. He knew it will be very dangerous and in this one week, he had helped them settle down and plan with them before they should work their mission. 

He stood and went outside and saw that Yu Yang was waiting for him. He then gave him the token which would allow him to have access to the recruitment office. 

He also gave him few more instructions and then told him that he will be going to the sect tower so he should settle down and find out about everything around the recruitment office. 

Jian then started to move towards the sect tower. Today he was going to Sect Tower to find out more about the mission board and its condition. 

After walking for half an hour he reached the centre part of the city. He walked checking everything around him and he was walking very slowly. Since he had already decided to stay in the city so decided he checked out everything. 

After reaching the centre area he directly didn't go to the sect tower. He walked around the area and checked out other towers. The centre area was flourishing with the cultivators. 

Every tower with a specific profession had a specific crowd around them. Jian was being very low key so no one paid attention to him. 

After walking around for a while he came back to the sect tower. He looked up and saw the symbol of a pagoda indicating a sect tower. He walked inside.

As he walked inside he was shocked. Because he saw a person standing at the reception desk. The person was none other than Meng Shu. This is for the first time he had seen her after going to the tomb. 

In the last half-year, he didn't make contact with her. He would only deal with her guard Fang Ning. Although in between meetings with Fang Ning he had asked about her the answer he got was that she is busy cultivating. 

So when he saw her he was shocked. He thought he would only meet her after a year or two. He couldn't believe that he would be able to meet her this early.

He moved towards her but before he walked he saw her coming towards him. "Jian welcome to the sect tower. I was waiting for you"

Jian was shocked when he heard her say that she was waiting for him but immediately calmed down and replied "Thank you Meng Shu but how did you know that I was coming."

This time it was Meng Shu who was shocked. She didn't expect Jian to directly ask her but she still replied "Fang Ning came earlier and told me that you have come to the pavilion and he told me that you would come here."

Jian frowned inside because he had not told Fang Ning about his plans so how did she know that he would come to the sect Tower. He tried to think and suddenly recalled. So he immediately activated Star Gaze and checked her and the information he got left him speechless. 

Name: Liu Shuang

Cultivation: Nascent Soul Realm Third Level

Physique: Clairvoyant Eyes Body (Heaven)

Cultivation Technique: Heaven Fortune Creed (Heaven)

Because her heaven grade physique is fully awakened and her cultivation has also improved by four levels. 

Now he understood how she was able to find that he was coming to the sect tower. As her physique allows her to see the fortune of anything. 

He didn't expect her to awaken this soon because more than half a year has passed and he still was not able to help awaken Zhou You's physique. 

He wanted to ask her how she did it but he couldn't. He was shocked to see her fast improvement. Now he finally confirmed that her background is not normal. 

Meng Shu was waiting for Jian to reply after she told him how she found out about him. He looked at and nodded " oh so it was Fang Ning, ok"

Meng Shu smiled but on the inside, she sigh relief. She thought Jian would ask her further questions. Jian also smiled because he knew there was a reason for her to hide her identity.

" So Jian what can I do for you" Meng Shu immediately changed the topic when she saw that he was not suspicious of her.

Jian hesitated a little and spoke " Can we discuss it in private. It is not good to discuss here outside."

Meng Shu became embarrassed and then she lead him towards the second Floor. Jian saw her embarrassed expression and the atmosphere around then became awkward.

To lessen the awkwardness Jian ask about where she was and told her that he had made several deals with Fang Ning. Slowly slowly they started to discuss the Soaring Cloud Pavilion.

The awkwardness between them lessened as they reached a room. They went inside and started to further discuss it.

As they were discussing they realized that they have forgotten about why Jian came to the sect tower. So Meng Shu again asked why he came to the sect tower.. Jian then told her about the Mission Board and they started to discuss it.
