"What did you just say? That rat faced bastard will be coming with me?" my expression changed.
Until now, I tolerated his stupid efforts, but this was going too far. He was going to encroach on my along time with Liu Feng- I mean, disturb my mission? I could not allow this.
"Senior Brother. If you are serious about pursuing me, then I suggest that you do not do this. If there is one thing that I do not hate more, it is that you are trying to take away my freedom." I snarled.
"To think that you would actually resist this? It is true then. The rumors that I have heard around are true." Hong Jimin shook his head.
"What rumors?" my face fell.
"I hear that Liu Feng is engaged to you. It was a despicable rumor, I must say. But now, I think that it only just tells me that I need to take care of this boy." Hong Jimin said as he turned away.
My hands clenched into fists. I did not say anything. He was too powerful for me to do anything. But one thing was sure. He could not just touch someone in the Outer Sect easily. The only way that he could do anything to Liu Feng was through his disposable lackeys, like this Yu Jinpeng that he was sending.
"I thought taking a walk would be nice, but to think that all it does was cause a headache. Who would have thought?" I shook my head.
Somewhere in the sect,
"Is someone talking about me? Why do I feel like that?" Liu Feng's ears perked up as he rubbed his nose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I headed to the missions hall. Until now, I couldn't complete any missions at all, so the only thing that I could do was stare at all the people who were able to get these rewards for completing these missions.
I couldn't say that I was not jealous. I needed these resources. They were the best way for me to grow faster.
I walked in and headed to an empty counter.
I put my identity token on the counter and looked at the young woman behind it.
"Cai Lien? You are here for your mission with Liu Feng? He is not here yet. I thought that he would be with you." the woman said.
"Why would he be with me?" I quickly shook my head, blushing at the mere thought of spending this time alone with him.
"Calm down. I was just stating the facts. Anyways, you can just sit in a corner. After both of you arrive, only then can I brief you about this mission." the young woman pointed to a sparse area of the hall that no one was sitting at.
I nodded and sat there, tapping my leg as I waited for Liu Feng.
An hour went by, and Liu Feng was nowhere to be seem.
Now, I was getting a little irritated. This was irresponsible! He had to come for this mission. I was not here early. He was late!
"Where the hell is he right now?" I muttered.
As if someone was taunting me, I heard my name getting called out.
"Cai Lien. Please come to the mission desk number three." I heard a loud voice.
I stood up and headed to the desk. I could see that there was a man who was standing at the counter. But he did not seem like Liu Feng. His back was turned to the desk, but his hair was longer, and he seemed a little taller than Liu Feng used to be.
"He can't be that Yu Jinpeng. That bastard isn't this tall either." I thought as I headed to the counter and looked at him closely.
"Hello, Senior Sister Cai Lien. It has been a long time since we last met." the man turned around and smiled.
"Li-Liu Feng! You have changed!" I cried out in shock.
"Oh yes, there seems to have been a big difference in how I look. I wonder why. Maybe it is because of a small breakthrough that I had." Liu Feng said,
"A break through? Is he in the third realm of the Foundation Establishment stage now?" I wondered as I tried to move the Qi around me.
But the Qi was not budging. It was getting sucked into a vortex that seemed to be centered around Liu Feng.
"Impossible! He is stronger than I am!" I realized.
"Now then, can I know what this mission is? It has been long since I could actually interact with humans. I cannot wait to go to this Pill Tower." Liu Feng said, stretching his arms.
"It has been long since he could interact with humans? What does that mean? Was he actually imprisoned for the last one month?" I wondered. But I could just ask him later while I was on the mission.
I looked around. I was crossing my fingers, hoping that Yu Jinpeng would not show. Not just everyone could add another member into the mission team without the permission of the team members. But Hong Jimin was one of them.
He had sway with the elders, the deacons, and obviously in the missions hall.
"Now then, both of you have arrived. Are you waiting for someone? You seem to be darting your eyes somewhere."the young woman asked.
"Me? Wait, did you say that only the both of us are in this mission? But I heard that Hong Jimin wanted to send Yu Jinpeng to the Pill Tower as well." I asked.
"Yu Jinpeng? He is going to the Pill tower on a different mission. He left just an hour earlier. You might meet him there." the woman confirmed.
"Who is this Yu Jinpeng?" Liu Feng asked.
"You are Liu Feng, aren't you? The person who offended a deacon immediately after his arrival. Well, you also seemed to have offended Hong Jimin over this lady here." she pointed at me.
"Why is she making me the villain here?" I trembled.
"Why don't we just get to the important part. I don't have time to care about who hates me and who wants to kill me anymore." Liu Feng just shook his head.
