Chapter 260 Completing Quests to Obtain Magical Artifacts

The four guardians briefly explained the origins of the Holy Maiden Cult, then smiled and said to Shi Xiaxia, "Of course, exchanging magical artifacts for completing tasks is only applicable to metaphysicians whose abilities are not outstanding."

As for those as talented as Young Friend Eleven, our Holy Maiden Sect naturally has the best intentions to recruit and cultivate them. All of this is for the sake of promoting the Holy Maiden Sect!

Shi Xiaxia stared straight at the four guardians without saying a word.

From the accounts of the four protectors, it can be inferred that this Holy Maiden Cult seems to be doing only good things.

Based on her past interactions with the Holy Maiden Cult, Shi Xiaxia did not think so.

What exactly is the Holy Maiden Cult plotting?!

Shi Xiaxia slowly shook her head and said regretfully to the four protectors, "It's a pity that I already belong to a sect and cannot join another sect."

"That's fine!"

The four guardians immediately said, "Young friend Eleven, if you don't want to join, you don't have to. You can still do tasks to exchange for magical artifacts."

However, the magical artifact that Little Friend Eleven wants is extraordinary. If we rely on ordinary tasks, it may take several years to obtain it.

"I can contact the Grand Protector to see if there's any place within the sect that needs a formation set up. If there is, as long as Eleventh Friend completes it, he can obtain the formation flag."

"In that case,"

Shi Xiaxia stood up and bowed to the four protectors: "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"You're too kind, young friend!" The Fourth Protector waved his hand at Xiaxia.

"Red Cotton!" The Fourth Protector stood up and called out to the outside.

A moment later, a woman in her thirties walked in from outside. She bowed to the Four Protectors and then asked, "Four Protectors, did you call me?"

"Arrange a room for my little friend Eleven."

After giving instructions to Hongmian, she said to Shi Xiaxia, "The head of the Holy Maiden Sect is not far from here. If the Great Protector has nothing else to do, he will be here soon."

If you have nothing else to do, young friend Shi, you may stay here for now.

"Alright, thank you for your help, Fourth Protector." Shi Xiaxia cupped her hands in greeting to the Fourth Protector again, and then left the room with Hongmian.

Leaving them there without giving them a chance to refute is in line with Shi Xiaxia's impression of the Holy Maiden Cult.

But it didn't matter, since she was going to use this opportunity to infiltrate the Holy Maiden Cult anyway.

With both vengeful spirits and the spirit of a hundred-year-old banyan tree, the leader of the Holy Maiden Cult has quite the ambition!

After arranging a room for Shi Xiaxia, Hongmian explained to her what each area of ​​the villa was for before leaving to attend to other matters.

It was still early before evening, so Shi Xiaxia went for a stroll in the courtyard.

Inside the villa, many ordinary people were still gambling on stones or selecting antiques.

"Oh! Wearing a mask,"

A man greeted Shi Xiaxia, "I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

"Yes,"

Shi Xiaxia said politely, "I have some matters to ask of the Fourth Protector."

"So that's it."

The man nodded, then smiled and winked at Shi Xiaxia: "Aren't the Fourth Protector exceptionally beautiful?"

"really."

Shi Xiaxia nodded without hesitation: "I have indeed never seen such a beautiful person before."

"Hahaha!" Shi Xiaxia's honest words made everyone burst into laughter.

However, there was nothing lewd about the laughter; it was all hearty laughter, as if what they had just said was simply friends sharing something beautiful.

Shi Xiaxia narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at their expressions. It seemed that these four protectors were quite capable!

Having good looks but not being noticed by others is quite impressive.

"What about you?"

The other person was quite surprised to see Xiaxia wearing a mask and asked, "Why are you wearing a mask? Does it mean you'll marry whoever takes it off?!"

"Old Tian, ​​you watch too many TV dramas!" The others laughed at Old Tian's wild ideas.

"no,"

Shi Xiaxia touched her cheek and shook her head at the group, saying, "It's because of a flaw in my appearance. If I don't wear a mask, I'm afraid I'll scare you."

"So that's how it is!" The group exclaimed in surprise.

However, this also led to a conversation among the group.

While talking to them, Shi Xiaxia subtly tried to extract information from them.

But they all unanimously believed that the Holy Maiden Church was a good thing and had never done anything harmful.

After parting ways with the others, Shi Xiaxia walked towards her room, lost in thought.

That's really strange. Is the Holy Maiden Cult really that kind, taking such good care of ordinary people?!

Or......

Does the Holy Maiden Church have other plans?!

......

Shi Xiaxia waited at the villa for two days before the Fourth Protector summoned her over.

Upon entering the room where the Four Protectors work, a man and a woman are sitting in the main seats, while the Four Protectors are standing and pouring water for them.

Shi Xiaxia already knew who was coming, so she didn't show any change in expression when she saw Zhu Chen and Luo Rong.

"Four Protectors." Shi Xiaxia respectfully clasped her hands in greeting to the Four Protectors.

"First Protector, Second Protector, this is the Eleventh Young Friend I mentioned!" The Fourth Protector introduced Shi Xiaxia to Zhu Chen and Luo Rong.

Luo Rong stood up, circled Shi Xiaxia twice, and noticed Shi Xiaxia's fair chin and pink lips peeking out from under the mask. She couldn't help but sneer, "Nice figure. But Fourth Protector, you should be careful. What if you're after the First Protector again?"

Shi Xiaxia glanced at the Fourth Protector and, seeing that she had no intention of helping her out, said to Luo Rong, "Second Protector, you're overthinking it. I just want to ask for a magic weapon, and besides, my face... I'll never consider these things again in this lifetime."

"Really?" The more Shi Xiaxia tried to explain, the less Luo Rong believed her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she struck Shi Xiaxia without warning.

Shi Xiaxia pretended to be clumsy and exchanged a few blows with Luo Rong, but quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Then Shi Xiaxia was slapped by Luo Rong, and Luo Rong also took off her mask.

She sat on the ground clutching her chest, unable to get up for a long time, and had no time to worry about her mask being removed.

"Ah!" The four guardians noticed Shi Xiaxia's cheek and exclaimed in surprise.

All that could be seen on Shi Xiaxia's face were strange, crisscrossing scars, a shocking sight.

But the small patch of skin below the nose was completely intact, fair and clean, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding scars.

If she wore a mask to cover her scars, people would really think she was a beauty.

Startled by the Fourth Protector's shout, Shi Xiaxia quickly raised her hand to cover her face and said, "Sorry, sorry, I scared the Fourth Protector."

When she covered her face with her arm, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Having met Luo Rong before, Shi Xiaxia already knew what kind of person she was. To avoid any accidents, Shi Xiaxia had already done some work on her face.

In retrospect, it was a great success.
