"Your mission is to go to the Lost Swamp and find the inner core of the Frost Jade Pool's Giant Alligator."

"What?" Yun Ying started to complain in dissatisfaction, "The Lost Swamp is such a dangerous place, yet the sect actually wants us to go?!" With that, she glanced contemptuously at Miss Gu, who was lying in a corner and had also been shot. "I don't want to."

Daoist Violet Yin put away the name list in his hand and ignored Yun Ying. He continued, "Those who don't wish to go, can leave immediately. There will be no need for you to participate in the sect's experiential learning in the future." As he spoke, he used his gaze to check if anyone wanted to leave.

She would only withdraw if she became crazy. One must know that she still had to rely on this place, and now, she could not afford to anger this old fogey, so she angrily turned her head away. Yun Ying secretly noted down this old man who did not give her any face, in the future, she would definitely find an opportunity to let him know how powerful she was!

Seeing that no one interrupted him, Dao Master Ziyin continued, "From today onwards, you only have seven days left. If you complete the mission within seven days, the sect will give each of you additional achievement points. This is your honor's representative, and if you do not bring the Colossal Alligator's inner core back within seven days, the mission will be considered a failure."

"I wonder if the sect has any requirements regarding the quantity of inner pellets?" The goddess-like Gu Qingcheng gently asked in a gentle voice.

Daoist Master Ziyin seemed to have not expected that someone would ask a question that was practically a loophole. In that instant, a hint of admiration flashed past his eyes as he looked towards Gu Qingcheng, then he stroked his grizzled beard and said, "It must be one of you. Anyone can complete the mission."

Each of them had a Giant Alligator inner core, which also meant that the group was both a cooperating partner and a competitor. If there were enough Giant Alligators to kill to the best of their abilities, then if there were none, it would be an especially interesting question. However, who would be the one to come up with such an idea sooner or later? Absolutely.

"If there are no problems, you can leave now." Adept Ziyin waved his hand, a beaming smile on his face that seemed to harbor ill intentions no matter how one looked at it.

The teenagers sighed in their hearts and prayed that they would be killed by the five crocodiles.

Gu Hua lifted his foot and followed the crowd out. As soon as they left the main hall, Lu Cheng walked up to her side and smiled as he took her hand. He said in surprise, "I didn't expect to be in the same team as Junior Sister."

Gu Hua felt a little awkward, but she didn't intend to take her hand out. She wanted to let the youth who hadn't thought of spring shake her hand or something like that, but she shouldn't be too generous.

"Senior apprentice-brother, please take care of me on the way."

"I won't let Junior Sister get hurt." Lu Cheng poked her on the nose and said, "Junior Sister, just follow me."

Did he have a free bodyguard?

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Miss Gu secretly changed the topic, "I heard that senior brother has become the champion of the Great Games and became famous in one battle. I can't even congratulate senior brother."

The smile on New Deer City's face turned a little more genuine, but Miss Gu was still unable to see a hint of sincerity in it. She could only hear the young man's casual voice, "It was just luck. Junior Sister is too kind."

"However, Junior Apprentice Sister is still very grateful for Senior Apprentice Brother's reminder. Thank you very much, Senior Apprentice Brother." Although her words' calm down 'didn't have much force behind it, she still managed to calm down and win that desperate battle. Although it didn't seem worth it to everyone, she still had to thank him.

In the cultivation world, she cared the most about karma. She didn't want to owe someone a favor because she really couldn't tell whether this youth called Lu Cheng was a friend or foe.

As if he had seen Gu Hua's seriousness, Lu Cheng continued to smile and replied, "Junior Sister is too polite."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Gu Qingcheng, who was walking to the side, glanced at Yuhan, who was ignoring her, then glanced at Yun Ying, whose teeth were about to shatter from the bottom of her heart. On the surface, however, she remained calm and composed as she stared at Gu Hua, who was giggling with envy, and slowly approached the gentle face of the New Deer City, saying in a very ladylike manner: "I've seen senior brother, I'm the Gu Qingcheng of the Spirit Cloud Peak."

The young woman had an extraordinary countenance and a charming smile. She spoke in a voice so pleasing to the ear that one couldn't feel a shred of disgust. Lu Cheng glanced at her and replied with a smile, "Greetings, Junior Sister. I am Qing Feng and Lu Cheng."

Upon hearing this name, Gu Qingcheng's eyes lit up, "Are you the senior from New Deer City that went to the competition a few days ago?"

Lu Cheng gave her a profound look, then looked at Gu Hua Wei who was watching from the wall. He replied gently as before, "That's right."

Gu Qingcheng's eyes shined with a terrifying light. She had never thought that this extraordinarily handsome young man would actually be the leader of the Battle Arena. Because she was too far away, she didn't see her appearance clearly, but from the looks of it, not only did this young man have an outstanding cultivation base, her future was limitless.

"Senior Apprentice Brother's recent achievements have really impressed Junior Apprentice Sister. Now, Senior Apprentice Brother has become the best partner for these two juniors to rest." Gu Qingcheng's expression didn't change as she probed.

The smile on Lu Cheng's face stiffened for a moment, and he was unable to say anything unpleasant due to the etiquette. "This is my honor. However, it's still too early for me to choose a couple." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Ruoyun, who was still making wall flowers, with a pleading look. He indicated that he should help his senior brother. I've never talked to a girl I don't know before.

Miss Gu tilted her head and ignored him. What did this have to do with her?

"Then senior, please take good care of me on your journey." Gu Qingcheng's voice was soft and weak. Even before her petite body could see the alligator, she was already trembling. From time to time, she would give Gu Hua Wei a provocative look, saying: "Look, you can't win against me."

Miss Gu was too lazy to even roll her eyes. On the surface, it looked like a treasure she wanted you to take with her, but she just didn't know how dark it was inside. If you knew, would you return it?

Along the way, they arrived at the edge of the Cloud Hidden Peak's cliff. Gu Qingcheng had already been happily chatting with the two of them in New Deer City, and clear laughter continuously flowed out from the goddess's mouth. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that they were joking, but the truth was, Gu Qingcheng's Senior Brother had only said one sentence: Junior Sister is flattering me.

Thinking about the day that the original female host had tried to please others like this, Miss Gu was truly intoxicated.

Lu Cheng stopped at the edge of the cliff and took down the long sword at his waist. He recited a chant, and the long sword grew to a size of about 15 meters long, 10 meters wide, and floated on the ground. Lu Cheng greeted Gu Qingcheng and the rest, before jumping onto his sword.
