When Luo Chen walked out, Nan Chan Shangren looked at him in confusion. He was worried that Luo Chen had accepted the first mission. That would be a huge problem.
“Master, which one did you accept?”
“Go to Nanling City!” Luo Chen smiled and walked out of the basement first.
“Ah?”
“You accepted the third one?” Nan Chan Shangren was stunned. How could he accept this mission? This mission was a losing deal.
But then Nan Chan Shangren reacted. Luo Chen could not leave the country, so he could only accept the third mission.
Because the first two missions required going abroad. What he had just asked was nonsense.
Luo Chen indeed accepted the third mission.
But Luo Chen’s reason for accepting the third mission was not because he could not go abroad.
It was because of Xi Ziyuan.
Because the third mission allowed choosing the mission location, Luo Chen unhesitatingly chose Nanling.
He wanted to go and guide Xi Ziyuan in advance, to repay his debt of gratitude.
In this life, if he could bring Xi Ziyuan onto the cultivation path early, then perhaps Xi Ziyuan would not perish in the Profound Tribulation.
And at this moment, players of the Horror Game everywhere had already discovered that the third mission had been accepted. Instantly, those who discovered it looked baffled and shocked.
“Damn, what is going on, someone actually accepted that mission?”
“Is someone stupid?”
“Someone would actually accept this mission?”
“Do they have too many merit points to spend?”
“Who is it?” Many people wanted to know who was so wealthy that they would accept a mission that was giving merit points to the Horror Game.
Only in a Taoist temple on Zhongnan Mountain in Huaxia, a young Daoist looked at the old man before him with a puzzled expression.
That old man had an immortal demeanor, but his entire body was skin and bones, as if one foot was already in the coffin.
If not for the green lotus before him sustaining his life, he would have long turned to dust.
That young Daoist tidied his appearance, then spoke to the old man. “Teacher, someone has accepted the third mission.”
“When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.”
“Prepare early. Chaotic times are coming.” The old man’s voice even seemed to carry a dense aura of death.
“Teacher, back then the Horror Game released the Tui Bei Tu. According to the Tui Bei Tu’s predictions?” If scholars outside, or anyone, heard this, they would probably be shocked to the extreme.
Because the Tui Bei Tu was calculated and written by Yuan Tiangang. It had prophesied the historical course of Huaxia after that time, and had never been wrong.
Including the later Yuan, Ming, Qing, and even present-day Huaxia, the prophecies were precise to the extreme.
But only the old man understood that behind every change of dynasty, there was a black hand manipulating things.
Now hearing the young Daoist’s meaning, it seemed this Tui Bei Tu was also from the Horror Game.
How could this not be terrifying?
“Hmph, the lineage behind the Horror Game wants to control the lifeblood of the Burial Immortal Star and develop it according to their intentions. How could it be that easy?”
“Back then, the Battle of the Investiture of the Gods, how tragic was it?”
“But in the end, someone will come out to overthrow their black hand behind the scenes.” The old man seemed unwilling to say more and did not explain clearly.
“Teacher, may I ask, does the extinction of the dinosaurs have any relation to the black hand behind the Horror Game?” The young Daoist was not very old, and was not very interested in many things.
Only the matter of dinosaur extinction seemed to pique his curiosity.
“What do you think?” The old man did not answer directly, but looked toward the south.
It seemed in the old man’s eyes, he saw something extraordinary.
And in Nanling City to the south, it was already dark now.
Ziyuan and her good sister Yuan Na were sitting in a Starbucks drinking coffee.
Ziyuan was staying at Yuan Na’s house, because Ziyuan’s parents had died early. Yuan Na’s father was Ziyuan’s paternal uncle, and Yuan Na’s father happened to be a district chief in Nanling City.
The family conditions were relatively good. For ordinary people, it was already a threshold that was hard to climb, so after Ziyuan’s parents died, Yuan Na’s father became Ziyuan’s guardian.
However, although Yuan Na was said to be Ziyuan’s good sister, and District Chief Yuan was Ziyuan’s paternal uncle.
In fact, the entire Yuan family did not really like Ziyuan. Normally Yuan Na was spoiled, with clothes brought to her and food served to her, not needing to do anything.
While Yuan Na swept, bought groceries, cooked, and did laundry. Almost everything was dumped on Ziyuan.
And normally she had to endure cold looks and rolled eyes, especially from Yuan Na’s mother.
Even privately behind her back, she told her girlfriends that Ziyuan was their family’s little maid.
It was just that Ziyuan had just graduated from university and was interning, and had not yet received her graduation certificate.
And previously due to some reasons, plus being young, she could only swallow her anger in the Yuan family.
She had originally thought that after graduating from university she could break free from the Yuan family’s control. Who knew that in the end, she was still arranged by the Yuan family to work in the same company as Yuan Na.
At this moment Yuan Na had a face full of disgust and impatience, constantly shaking her leg.
“Nana, why don’t we take a taxi back first? Today is the Ghost Festival.” Ziyuan carefully spoke.
“Stop nagging, so annoying. I, Yuan Na, have returned to Nanling. Do I still need to take a taxi?” Yuan Na complained. She had notified a friend to come pick them up, but had waited until now without them arriving.
“But we have waited for ages. It is getting late. With this time we could have…” “This is not a matter of time. This is a matter of face. Forget it, you would not understand.” Yuan Na again showed an impatient expression.
She simply looked down on this Ziyuan who was boarding in her house. Because she herself was actually quite good-looking, but compared to Ziyuan, she was an ugly duckling. Clearly her parents were both gone, yet she was born with a devastatingly beautiful face.
They had studied together since childhood, middle school, high school, all the way to university. Boys pursuing Ziyuan could queue around Nanling several times, but those pursuing her were only a few.
In Yuan Na’s mother’s private words, this was a reincarnated fox spirit.
But this made Yuan Na, with her superior family conditions, even more jealous and indignant toward Ziyuan.
Not to mention the company, almost every male colleague in the company could not move their legs when they saw Ziyuan.
Just today alone, seeing Luo Wuji, that was the nation’s husband. Luo Wuji had directly ignored her, then shook hands with Ziyuan, and the look he gave Ziyuan was clearly different.
This made Yuan Na filled with anger. If not for her, how could Ziyuan have met Luo Wuji?
At this moment Yuan Na was purely being spiteful. She refused to believe that no one around her would come running to pick her up with a single phone call.
She wanted to prove to Ziyuan that she, Yuan Na, was more excellent than Ziyuan.
“No, Nana, in the middle of the night, making someone come from so far away, it is very easy for an accident to happen.” Ziyuan was also somewhat uncomfortable.
“So what?”
“Can there be a car accident or something?”
“Look, isn’t that them coming?”
