When Leng Shiqi saw Delta Aurigae again after more than half a year, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't miss Delta Aurigae these days, but he missed the feeling of mutual trust between him and Delta Aurigae.
Now that they met, he suddenly couldn't speak.
No, both of them were wearing masks, so it couldn't be considered a real meeting.
Delta Aurigae was stunned when he saw Leng Shiqi come out. He was shocked by Leng Shiqi's size.
Originally, Leng Shiqi was only a little taller than Delta Aurigae, but now, he was more than a head taller.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Delta Aurigae's familiar voice came.
Leng Shiqi smiled gently and made a "please" gesture.
Leng Shiqi brought Delta Aurigae to his small courtyard, which was still taken care of while he was away.
The entire small courtyard was decorated very delicately. Although the place was not big, it was very comfortable.
"Greetings, Master." Two servant disciples, Ah Ze and Ah Jin, who took care of the small courtyard, came up to greet him.
"Well, go ahead." Leng Shiqi greeted them and walked into the room with Delta Aurigae.
As soon as he entered the room, Delta Aurigae immediately asked, "When did you break through?"
Leng Shiqi smiled in his heart. Delta Aurigae was still so strong. "About two months ago."
Since he broke through, it took him a month to rush back to the Donglin County branch from the Demon Suppressing Town.
Then, it took him nearly a month to wait for the Illusory Spirit Secret Realm to open. It took him another ten days to come from Donglin County to the General Pavilion.
Counting the days, it was almost three months.
Delta Aurigae murmured, "You're still earlier than me."
Leng Shiqi knew that the Delta Aurigae would say this, but before he could say anything, the Delta Aurigae spoke again, "I heard that you went to the Donglin County branch."
"Not bad."
"You must have seen a lot of interesting things." Delta Aurigae's tone contained a hint of yearning.
Leng Shiqi suddenly remembered that Delta Aurigae had been cultivating in the Blood-cloak Pavilion ever since they came out of the Blood-fog Island.
She would definitely know how big this world was and how exciting it was through reading the books.
However, she was like a canary in a cage. Although she had plenty of resources and guidance from Sky Origin Stage cultivators, she had no freedom at all.
Including the time he spent on the Blood Fog Island, Gu San should have not left for almost three years.
Leng Shiqi's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about it, it was actually a good thing that he was transferred to the Donglin County branch.
So he said, "I did learn a lot, but the outside world is also full of dangers. If you're not careful, you'll be smashed to pieces."
"Aren't you doing well?
You even broke through to the Spiritual Pulse Stage earlier than me. "Delta Aurigae's words sounded strange.
Leng Shiqi touched his nose. Why did they go back to the topic?
Delta Aurigae said, "So I'm curious. What have you experienced?"
Leng Shiqi organized his words and replied, "Actually, it's nothing. After I arrived at the Donglin County branch, I took a task …"
Next, Leng Shiqi roughly told her what he had experienced. He hid a few great dangers and only said that he survived because of luck.
He did not tell the complete truth about Nine Leave. He only said that she was a strange demon beast who had gained intelligence in advance.
After all, Nine Leave's existence was too shocking. Without Nine Leave's permission, he did not dare to reveal Nine Leave's true identity.
Even so, Delta Aurigae's emotions fluctuated. She was silent for a while before sighing slightly. "You've experienced life and death several times outside. It's natural for you to have such cultivation."
Delta Aurigae was a very shrewd person. Even though Leng Shiqi deliberately hid some things, she could vaguely guess.
Leng Shiqi changed the topic and asked, "Then why don't you go out and do a few tasks?"
"It's because of my master, Bone Demon."
Delta Aurigae actually had a hint of complaint when she mentioned Bone Demon. "He made me unable to finish my apprenticeship before I reached the Spiritual Pulse Stage.
I finally broke through to the Spiritual Pulse Stage a month ago, but he insisted that I practice several cultivation methods and spiritual techniques. It was not until these two days that I finally finished my apprenticeship.
Although my cultivation is at the Spiritual Pulse Stage, my blood droplets are empty. I can't be promoted to the Blood-Clothed Assassin.
I originally planned to take missions to accumulate blood droplets and go out for a walk. I just happened to hear Master mention that you're back, so I came to take a look. "
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi secretly thought that Delta Aurigae was facing the same awkward situation as him.
He said, "Your current identity is still a Black-Clothed Assassin. You can only take one or two star missions. These missions can at most give you between fifty to sixty blood droplets.
If that's the case, you'll have to do at least ten to twenty missions to be promoted to the Blood-Clothed Assassin. "
Delta Aurigae nodded and said, "I know. That's why I came to find you."
Leng Shiqi paused for a moment. Then he thought of a possibility.
Sure enough, Delta Aurigae said, "You're now a Blood-Clothed Assassin. You can take three or four star missions.
You can take missions and we'll finish them together. Then you can split the blood droplets with me. This way, it'll be much faster. "
Leng Shiqi had to admit that this was indeed a good idea. In other words, it was a bit like taking a smurf to do missions.
The only difference was that this' smurf 'was also very strong.
However, Leng Shiqi did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked hesitant.
Gu San naturally knew what Leng Shiqi was thinking. She lightly snorted and said, "You're a guy who doesn't wake up early if there are no benefits. I've cultivated a lot of Spirit Skills at Master's place. Among them, I can't teach you anything related to Master, but I can teach you the rest."
"Deal!" Leng Shiqi agreed very quickly.
Delta Aurigae: "…"
Not long after, Leng Shiqi came to the Blood-Clothed Palace again. However, Delta Aurigae did not come in.
This was because only Blood-Clothed Assassins could enter this place. Even Delta Aurigae, the direct disciple of Bone Demon, could not enter.
Leng Shiqi came here to take missions. He had discussed with Delta Aurigae that it would be best to take missions that were closer to him and had more blood droplets.
He carefully looked around a few black-veined stone slabs in the corner of the Blood-Kill Palace. These slabs were filled with three and four star missions.
The three star missions were mainly targeted at Spirit Pulse Early or Mid Spirit Pulse Realm cultivators, while the four star missions were targeted at Spirit Pulse Late Stage cultivators or Spirit Pulse Realm cultivators with special identities.
Leng Shiqi did not become arrogant. He planned to take a three star mission to try his hand at it.
He walked around twice and chose three or four suitable missions. They were all within the Mu Chen Region and had around two hundred blood droplets.
Just as he was about to take a mission, another mission suddenly appeared on the black-veined stone slab!
Leng Shiqi's attention was drawn over. It was a four star mission, but the target of the mission was a Spirit Cultivator at the early stage of the Spirit Pulse Realm. Furthermore, it was someone who had some relationship with Leng Shiqi!
Mission Target: Abandoned disciple of the Thousand Illusion Sword Sect, Ou Ziyu!
