Chapter 272 New Mission
The sun slowly sank westward, and the evening glow gradually turned the sky red.
The two soared through the air, admiring the magnificent scenery, teasing the birds hidden among the clouds, laughing and joking, having a great time.
As dusk slowly fell, Bai Ke escorted the still-wanting Ling Xin'er back to Tianxiu Peak, and then returned to Chijie Cliff.
During the journey, he summoned the system and asked, "System, can I cancel a task I don't want to do? Like the one where I have to run naked on Tiandu Peak."
"Ding! Main quests cannot be changed or canceled. Title quests and daily quests can be replaced for a fee based on their difficulty."
"I want to change that streaking task."
"Host request received. Changing the daily quest 'I'm a Pervert' requires 900 Evil Points. Do you wish to proceed?"
"Damn! So expensive? Ugh, let's change it, this task is disgusting."
"Ding, replacement successful. 900 evil points deducted. Host's current evil points are 32000. Please check the task list yourself."
After finishing his task, Bai Ke checked his task list. Because he had previously completed the "Oh~ It's So Delicious" and "Lightning Speed" tasks, two new daily tasks appeared in his list:
"1. [Dance Master]: Complete a dance at the coronation ceremony of the Holy Son of Tian Ce. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 10000 Evil Points!"
The time has come to showcase your amazing coordination! Dance, young man! Dating is nothing compared to dancing; let everyone feel your charm!
2. [Splitting Mount Hua with Force]: Kill a Nascent Soul cultivator using only physical strength. Reward: 50000 Evil Points!
As a super-strong man in the Mountain and Sea Realm, you've already grasped the basics of body-refining techniques. Next, you need an opportunity to prove your strength. Go for it, let them know that real men never rely on spiritual power!
3. [Fly]: Kill Xing Jian, the second elder of Tian Ce Palace, and his son Lin Xiu. The reward for completion is 100000 evil points!
These lowly, despised extras tirelessly hinder your progress, buzzing in your ears like flies in a toilet! Are you getting annoyed? Then kill them! Kill these noisy little bastards! Let them know what true villainy is all about!
Bai Ke's lips twitched as he silently finished reading the three daily tasks.
The rewards and difficulty of the newly added tasks have increased compared to the same period last year, which is in line with his current spending habits and is still acceptable.
But what on earth is that task about dancing at the coronation ceremony of the Heavenly Strategy Saint?! Are all the top-ranked tasks this bizarre?!
After complaining about the system task, Bai Ke arrived at the door of Chijie Cliff's house. He also saw Ah Can standing outside waiting for him, and judging from the situation, he guessed that Ah Can had something to report again.
"Young Master! You're back!" Ah Can ran over excitedly.
"Yes, you're back. Let's go inside and talk." Bai Ke walked into the room with his hands behind his back. After Ah Can came in behind him and closed the door, he turned and said with a solemn expression, "Young Master, the Holy Son Selection will officially end in three days."
Bai Ke sat down in the chair and nodded, signaling A-Can to continue.
"After you returned from Moyun Kingdom, your points were originally far ahead of Lin Xiu's. But just today, Lin Xiu submitted a large number of treasures and cultivation techniques to the sect, not only offsetting his punishment but also increasing his points..."
"His points have even surpassed mine, haven't they? His dad and Wanbaotang are really rich and powerful."
"Young Master! The situation is critical, why do you seem so indifferent?"
"What's the panic? Don't you believe in my abilities?"
"But...but there are only three days left! Maybe we should..."
"There's no need for that, I have my own way."
Bai Ke looked like he had everything under control, and A-Can couldn't understand why the young master was so confident.
Bai Ke picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and asked A-Can, "How are Da Chuan and Zi Yuan's formation practice going?"
"They're getting better and better. I specifically tested their formation today, and it's very powerful. It could easily take on two of me."
Ah Can was at the peak of the Golden Core stage and a body cultivator, his combat power comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. The fact that even he was defeated by the formation meant that Su Ziyuan and the others had already achieved a minor success in their Mixed Yuan Locking Spirit Formation.
Bai Ke nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Are you confident you can lead them to the little world I discovered?"
"Of course, no problem!" Ah-Can patted his strong chest and assured him.
"Very good," Bai Ke praised, then said, "Let's set off tomorrow!"
"Huh?" Ah-Can was taken aback for a moment, then stammered, "But, the sect leader hasn't given his approval yet..."
Bai Ke interrupted A-Can, saying confidently, "I'll talk to the sect leader later. You can trouble yourself to inform Zi Yuan and the others to come to my place for a meeting tomorrow at noon."
"Yes! Young Master is wise, I'll go right away." Seeing that Bai Ke was so confident, Ah Can didn't waste any more words and turned around directly.
Bai Ke nodded to show his relief, but in his heart he was thinking that he had just settled in when he had to make another trip, which was really troublesome.
Despite the complaints, food still had to be eaten and work still had to be done! Bai Ke immediately used the "Immortal Crossing" technique to fly towards Tian Ce Peak.
At Tian Ce Peak, outside the Deng Tian Hall, stands an unnamed pavilion.
There is a stone table and two stone stools in the pavilion.
A chessboard sits on a stone table, and a person sits on a stone bench.
Upon Bai Ke's arrival, he saw the imposing Ning Fengyi sitting leisurely on a stone stool, playing chess, seemingly unsurprised by Bai Ke's arrival.
"Master Uncle has quite the taste, playing chess alone so late at night," Bai Ke said, stepping forward and bowing.
“I’ve been waiting for you, my good nephew!” Ning Fengyi turned around and smiled, stretching out her left hand to gesture for Bai Ke to sit on the stone stool opposite her.
Bai Ke didn't refuse and readily sat down opposite Ning Fengyi, asking, "Did the Sect Leader know I was coming?"
Ning Fengyi smiled upon hearing this, picked up a chess piece in her hand, and replied, "What is meant to come will come, and what is meant to leave cannot be kept."
Bai Ke carefully pondered the words, feeling as if he had heard them somewhere before, but couldn't quite place them. So he resorted to his ever-present flattery, saying, "Master Uncle, you are truly wise! I admire you!"
Ning Fengyi was pleased and nodded, asking, "Is your visit related to the Holy Son Selection, Junior Nephew?"
"Sect Leader Uncle is wise! Today I heard from A-Can that Lin Xiu has handed over many treasures and cultivation techniques, and his points have already surpassed mine," Bai Ke replied.
"Hmph!" Ning Fengyi slammed the chess piece heavily onto the chessboard and said coldly:
"Those things originally belonged to the sect; we're just forcing them to give them back!"
