The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Huiyin Sui hadn't spoken yet.

On the contrary, Luo Qingcheng was quite surprised, "Senior Brother Hui is the Sword Master's disciple?"

Or is he the chief disciple?

Huiyin then said, "Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

“Not at all!”

"Didn't I tell you before that your bonus questions were set by my master? And this assessment was actually conducted by my master."

Luo Qingcheng: That's right. The disciple in charge did say that the sect leader was in seclusion, and this assessment was entirely overseen by the Sword Master.

but--

"Senior Brother Hui, since you're already the chief disciple, how come you're still so poor?"

Gray imprint follows: ...

who is it?

Who exposed his poverty?

Huiyin gave an awkward smile, "Junior Sister Luo, I'm not that poor."

Luo Qingcheng's "I understand, I understand, you don't need to explain" expression left Hui Yinsui both amused and exasperated.

Wang Shang said, "Junior sister, you may not know this, but as sword cultivators, we are not like alchemy, weapon crafting, array and talisman cultivators, who can earn spirit stones with their achievements while cultivating. On the contrary, because of the needs of cultivation, our swords need to be repaired and upgraded frequently, and the rare and precious materials used in them are very expensive."

Luo Qingcheng nodded. She had read about this in a novel she had read before, so she understood.

"Senior Brother Wang, I understand."

This is also why the poor among sword cultivators are known to all.

Wang Shang continued, "What I just said is known to everyone in the cultivation world. Of course, sword cultivators are not without their advantages. Among all cultivators, sword cultivators have the highest combat power at the same level. That is why I ask the Sword Sect's Bounty Hall to offer mostly bounty missions for exterminating demons and monsters."

He glanced at Hui Yinsui and said, "As far as I know, taking advantage of the fact that all the sects have gathered here for the sect's advancement competition, Tianji Pavilion has chosen to hold the next auction in Wenjian City. Senior Brother Hui is busy with various Tianji missions in order to obtain the Millennium Xuan Iron Heart, which will be the grand finale of the auction."

Luo Qingcheng understood.

She turned to look at Hui Yinsui, "Senior Brother Hui, is what Senior Brother Wang said true?"

Gray Mark nodded.

He was also surprised that this Wang Shang, who claimed to be "well-informed," was actually so well-informed.

"Junior Brother Wang, could you tell me how you learned this?"

Could it be that someone is specifically monitoring his movements?

With his protruding belly, Wang Shang, skilled at observing people's hearts, naturally noticed Hui Yinsui's concerns.

He replied, "Senior Brother Hui, there's no need to worry. Shang just overheard from your fellow disciples who admire you that you want the Thousand-Year Profound Iron Heart. In addition, you, who are usually so engrossed in cultivation, have suddenly started taking on missions frequently in the Bounty Hall. So I made my own deductions."

Whether it was truly an accident remains to be verified.

He bowed and said, "If my private speculation has made you uncomfortable, I apologize to you."

Huiyin waved his hand casually, "No need to apologize, I don't care, besides, your guess was right."

Wang Shang straightened up, his smile making people feel close to him. He said, "Since that's the case, let me make another guess. Senior Brother Hui's visit here this time is not only to complete the task of hunting the Eight-Cornered Golden Toad in the Eastern Continent last time, but also to take on another task, right?"

Huiyin nodded. "That's right. I plan to take on a Heaven-level mission and go to the southwestern desert to tame the Lion King with a human face."

Luo Qingcheng was surprised.

"Since Senior Brother Hui is so busy, let's go ahead. Wanwan and I can wander around by ourselves."

Huiyin was about to say that he wasn't in a hurry.

Luo Qingcheng anticipated this and said directly, "Senior Brother Hui, we just happened to be here to hand in our mission, shall we go now?"

The sooner the process is completed, the sooner the gray stamp can be removed without any worries.

I sensed something was off about the gray mark, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so I just said yes.

So the four of them went to the counter where the task was handed over.

The person in charge of the handover and Hui Yinsui were already old acquaintances.

He had a face that didn't resemble that of a cultivator, with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles. Upon seeing them, he stood up from the chair behind the counter, bowed, and said, "Senior Brother Hui."

The gray-skinned follower took out a mission letter and a jade token from his storage ring and handed them over.

Then he handed over the storage bag containing the corpse of the eight-pointed golden toad.

He said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trouble."

The disciple, known as Elder Zhang, took the items one by one and checked them. After confirming that there were no problems, he put the storage bag into the protective shield, took out the seal, and stamped it on the mission letter.

The mission letter emitted a brief red light, and the two large red "Completed" characters on the stamp in the corner were particularly eye-catching.

After manipulating the jade tablet, she handed it back to Hui Yinsui, smiling like a blooming sunflower. "Senior Brother Hui, the 100 contribution points earned after completing the mission have been credited to the tribute tablet. Please check it."

Huiyin accepted the tribute token, saying, "No need."

Looking at Luo Qingcheng beside her, she noticed her strange expression and felt puzzled.

"Junior Sister Luo, what's wrong?"

Luo Qingcheng said with some disappointment, "No, I thought the scene of turning in the mission would be more gorgeous, but it turned out to be so ordinary."

It's just as boring as going to the bank.

However, even the highest-level Heavenly Rank mission only costs 100 contribution points, so it seems she'll have to think of other ways to accumulate 2,000 contribution points.

Huiyin couldn't help but chuckle, wondering what Luo Qingcheng was thinking about all day.

"After you've turned in your quest, shall I demonstrate how to accept a quest?"

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Hui."

The group returned to the first floor and headed straight for the least crowded area for Heavenly-level missions.

Gray Seal grabbed a bubble, squeezed it, and the protective shield shattered like a real bubble, turning into foam in the air.

Luo Qingcheng also reached out and grabbed one, and then grabbed one for Wanwan as well.

She tried to squeeze the bubble like Gray Imprint did, but the bubble was quite resilient and kept changing shape with her strength, yet she couldn't pop it no matter how hard she tried.

Not to mention Wanwan, she even had to use both hands to hold the bubbles.

Luo Qingcheng played with it for a while and then got bored. After letting go, the bubble returned to its original position.

Seeing that they had had enough fun, Huiyin smiled and said, "This Bounty Hall is just like that. Since it's all over, I'll be leaving now."

Luo Qingcheng nodded. After Huiyin left, he felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it, so he put the unease in his heart out of his mind.

Li Zhiming, still forgotten: QAQ

Luo Qingcheng looked at Wang Shang, who was following them, and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, what are you still doing here?"

Faced with such an impolite question, Wang Shang remained unfazed, still smiling, and said, "I would like to show my two junior sisters the differences in this Bounty Hall. I wonder if you two junior sisters are interested?"

Ultimately, they just haven't given up on doing business with them.

Luo Qingcheng: "Besides handing in missions and exchanging contribution points, what else can this Bounty Hall offer?"

"Junior Sister Luo, you are mistaken. Shang Ke would never lie. This Bounty Hall certainly has many interesting aspects."

Luo Qingcheng reminded him, "Wanwan and I don't have any contribution points."

Wang Shang's smile deepened.

He finally convinced her.

He said, "I know that with just five hundred spirit stones, I can lead my two junior sisters to explore the entire Bounty Hall thoroughly, including how to earn contribution points more quickly. I have some ideas about that as well."
