Chapter 232 The Demon Thief is Here
In the room, Jingxuan liked Ruan Xihe very much.
When Ruan Xihe summoned Leng Shao, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "You, you, you..."
Afterwards, Jing Xuan caught Leng Shao and jerked him off for a long time before letting Ruan Xihe go back.
Day two.
At daybreak, when all the disciples had not yet woken up, a sharp explosion suddenly erupted in the forbidden area of the academy.
The elder in charge of guarding the forbidden area collapsed on the ground, holding a note in his hand, and kept muttering, "It's over, it's over..."
He made some gestures with his fingertips, and soon Hu Lai rushed to the forbidden area in a hurry.
Hu Lai asked, "What's wrong?"
The elder in charge of guarding the forbidden area did not speak, but handed the note in his hand to Hu Lai, "Dean, read it yourself."
Hu Lai unfolded the note, which read:
【The devil thief is here. 】
【I, the Demon Thief, was here. 】
"Demon thief?"
Hu Lai frowned, he had never heard of this title.
The elder in charge of guarding the forbidden area nodded, and then pointed to the big pit behind him, "Dean, as you can see, the devil thief stole the Enlightenment Tree."
Hu Lai's face was full of interesting expressions, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
"I've never heard of a demon thief in the demon clan. Besides, why did he steal the Enlightenment Tree? Is there any other loss in the forbidden area?"
The life of the Enlightenment Tree is fading, so the academy sealed the Enlightenment Tree in a forbidden area, hoping to slow down its death.
Hu Lai couldn't understand why that person would steal a dying enlightenment tree.
"No, only the Enlightenment Tree is missing." The elder shook his head, "Dean, this must be a provocation from the demons to our Nanzhan Academy! Otherwise, why would they steal the Enlightenment Tree and leave their names behind?"
Hu Lai pondered and said, "You are right. I will discuss this with the deans when they come back."
At this time, Ruan Xihe, the culprit who left the note, woke up from his sweet dream.
In fact, she left the note simply to leave her name and draw everyone's attention outside the academy.
The Demon Thief is just a more domineering name she chose. Among the three names, Phantom Thief, Demon Thief, and Holy Thief, she thought it sounded better.
She couldn't leave a note saying, "I, the thief, was here, right?"
But Ruan Xihe didn't know that this action of hers had fooled Hu Lai several times.
...
After getting up, Ruan Xihe went to the mission building.
Unlike yesterday, because the holiday is over, I met a lot of people along the way today.
Ruan Xihe arrived relatively early, but by the time she reached the mission building, many disciples had already arrived.
Most of the disciples were taking on missions on the lower floors, and a small number went to higher floors.
Because there were a lot of people on the first floor and the others hadn't arrived yet, Ruan Xihe went up to the second floor and wandered around the task bar area on the second floor.
Just then, she was tapped on the shoulder.
"Junior Sister Xihe, are you ready to accept the mission?"
Ruan Xihe turned around and saw a face full of curiosity. It was Senior Brother Li Donglai whom she had met before.
Standing next to him were Senior Sister Liao Zi and several other senior brothers and sisters he didn't know.
Li Donglai continued to ask: "Junior sister, would you like to consider joining our Purple Qi Eastward Team? I will take you on missions to earn points, and I will definitely protect you!"
Before Ruan Xihe could speak, Liao Zixian slapped Li Donglai on the back of his head. The sound of the slap was so crisp that it echoed back and forth in the mission building.
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what our mission is this time?"
Li Donglai was a little dazed by Liao Zi's slap.
But her words made Li Donglai sober up a little.
His eyes suddenly widened and he covered his mouth, "Oh, yes!"
"Oh, I forgot," Li Donglai realized and apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, little sister. I have a mission to complete this time. If we are destined to do it together next time."
Ruan Xihe nodded gently and smiled politely, "Okay."
For some reason, she could feel that except for Li Donglai and Liao Zi, the gazes of the other brothers and sisters in the Ziqi Donglai team were all a little...resentful?
The look he gave her was neither resistance to her joining the team nor disgust towards her.
Rather, it was a kind of resentment as if Ruan Xihe owed them eight million spirit stones.
Ruan Xihe shook his head, unable to remember any interactions he had with these fellow brothers and sisters.
Liao Zi pulled Li Donglai away.
Before leaving, Liao Zi turned around and warned: "Junior sister, this is your first mission, right? Be sure to keep your eyes open when looking for a team. It is easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. It is important to choose the right teammates."
"Thank you, senior sister. I'll keep that in mind." Ruan Xihe gave her a sincere smile in return, with curved eyebrows.
"Yes." Liao Zi said, "Be careful."
Ruan Xihe waved at them.
"Brothers and sisters, I wish you success in your mission as well."
The senior brothers and sisters who had not yet walked far staggered when they heard Ruan Xihe's words.
The corners of Liao Zi's mouth twitched as well.
She'd better not tell her junior sister that the team's mission is to capture sea beasts in the Sanfang Sea.
Not long after, several other people arrived.
Shen Yan folded her arms and saw Ruan Xihe come and stand beside her.
Thanks to Shen Yan's aura of "keep away from strangers", when other places were so crowded that there was no place to stand, no one dared to approach Ruan Xihe.
Jimo Qianyi secretly handed a small piece of paper to Ruan Xihe and told her that it contained a collection of some of his pill recipes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the mission building.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liu Ruyu and Shangguan Chu, along with two elders, walking towards Elder Wang in the mission building, and discussing something in a low voice.
Finally, Elder Wang nodded, and gathered his spiritual power to hit the largest empty task bar in a corner of the mission building.
With the blessing of Elder Wang's spiritual power, a few lines of words gradually appeared on the task bar.
[Mission difficulty level: No level.]
[Mission location: countries and regions around the coast of the three-party sea area. ]
[Mission cultivation requirements: Spiritual Emperor and above.]
[Number of people for the mission: A total of fifty people are required]
