Chapter 36: Moon Shadow Pavilion Still Has Something

Chapter 36: Moon Shadow Pavilion still has something to offer
It was close to noon when Liu Laohan came back.

As soon as he returned, he was startled.

I don’t know when, in front of his stall, all the women were lining up in front of him, becoming a scene in the snack street, and all the stall owners next to him were looking enviously at his stall.

There were so many people that it made Old Man Liu feel bad.

Approaching to take a look, that outer disciple who had taken over his task, named Zhou Xuan, was wrapping a few buns in a bag and handing them to the woman in front of him, “Three buns, three spirit coins.”

How much?

Old Man Liu rubbed his ears, thinking that he had misheard.

Are spirit coins that good now? Or has the spirit currency depreciated?

Without waiting for him to think, that Zhou Xuan swept his gaze and saw him, his gaze revealing joy, “Old Liu, you’re back?”

“Your Excellency, I’m back.” Old Man Liu looked at him in confusion, wondering why this was in front of him, “This is?”

Why?
It wasn’t because he was too handsome.

While doing Liu Lao Han’s ‘help watch the stall’ task, while simulating in his head what he should do when he reaches the destination of the real target task, he looks back to the fact that it’s already all women in front of him.

The current him, apart from the Mo Yun Sacred Hands, was left with a face and temperament, other than that there was really nothing that could attract the attention of a girl.

Seeing that the girls were getting more and more, he directly increased the price of the buns to 1 spirit coin a piece, instantly dissuading a large number of women, but it couldn’t stop the crowd.

Hearing this explanation, Old Man Liu looked at Zhou Xuan’s face and was speechless.

“Why don’t you take a day off, or find neighbors to help you guard your stall, and have to specially run to the Task Hall to send out a Class C quest?”

Zhou Xuan played the game, and unless it was a mission that was critical to him, he always chose to skip it, and the plot was too lazy to even look at it.

Mainly because he had played too many games, the quests were basically pretty much the same.

Although virtual games are now AI derived quests, the AI is also in the Internet to absorb the ideas and experience of the mission planners, and then extended.

And since the mission planners’ brains are really not that great, with the AI sharing a brain with them, the missions don’t have much new ideas.

But now, he wondered if the mission was buggy, and if it was, so he could collect it and give feedback to the production team afterward.

He should know that Liu Lao Han had spent 10 spirit coins to release a level C quest.

And what about the buns? It was settled with mortal copper coins, the two were not comparable.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Liu smiled nervously:
“Today is the wedding day of one of my relatives, I definitely have to go, it’s just that this stall of mine is there every day, and some of my regular customers come every day, so if they can’t eat the buns that I make, how disappointing it would be.”

“As for why I don’t ask my neighbors to guard the stall, it’s because my old Liu bun filling is specially made.”

I see, it is afraid of the neighbors to see the special secret recipe of the bun filling.

Just as Zhou Xuan nodded his head slightly, there was a clamor from the side, and at a glance, it was a 9th level Qi Gathering Outer Sect disciple named Bai Shu who had come to the snack street.

After being spotted, he gathered again.

The two of them all looked over, and seeing how popular Bai Shu was, Zhou Xuan did not know what came to mind and laughed out.

Old Man Liu, on the other hand, made a show of envy.

“Since you’re back, I’ll leave first, remember to turn in your quests at the Quest Hall.”

After the task hall has received the task and it is done, the person who issued the task needs to go to the task hall to make sure that it is done, so that the task is considered completed.

“Don’t worry, sir, I will go to the task hall later to make sure that your task is completed.”

When Zhou Xuan left the snack street, he smiled faintly, it seemed that the Moon Shadow Pavilion had already begun to act.

This Old Man Liu was obviously one of the Moon Shadow Pavilion’s assassins.

Why do you think so?
In fact, Liu Lao Han did not miss a single thing, seemingly going to the Task Hall as an ordinary person to post a task and spending ten spirit coins just for the old customers was a mistake and a failure.

However, in Zhou Xuan’s opinion this was precisely the finishing touch.

Because this Old Man Liu knew that reality was even more outrageous than a story.

The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had been enforcing the law for years, what had they not seen before?
They understood that reality had no logic to speak of. It was often those elaborate schemes that had a complete chain of logic.

That’s why Liu Laohan did the opposite, doing things that had no logic and relying on emotions alone, which was his way of protecting himself.

But even so, the only crack that was revealed was still captured by Zhou Xuan. That was when he helped guard the stall and the buns were sold for one spirit coin a piece.

In only a small half day’s time, he had earned a few hundred spirit coins, that was several spirit stones, which was a huge amount of money for an ordinary person.

But Old Man Liu was only surprised, not ecstatic or alarmed by the amount of spirit stones he earned.

After pondering over this, Zhou Xuan still praised that the Moon Shadow Pavilion’s assassins still had something to offer.

Next, Zhou Xuan continued to do in the task hall to pick up the C-level tasks, mostly some catch cat and dog errands, but there is a C-level task is more interesting.

There was a small clan that had released a quest because some of the Spirit Farmers under their command had contracted an epidemic and were in a period of treatment, so the Spirit Fields needed to be taken care of.

Zhou Xuan was diligently casting the Spirit Rain Technique when he arrived.

It coincided with this family’s matriarch’s wife coming to inspect the spirit fields to visit the spirit farmers, and as a result, this matriarch’s wife saw him and startled him with a surprised Pure Yang Gongzi, which was his stage name, and had always only been shouted at in the bee arena.

As a result, when he looked up, it was a beautiful woman with a clear and rich and mature look, but after searching his mind, he had little impression.

Mainly because in proper clothes, he really couldn’t recognize it.

Fortunately, that matriarch’s wife just shouted and didn’t go too far, just secretly made a few gesture movements with her mouth and hands before leaving with a fawning look on her brow.

Engaged in anger, he went to the bee arena again in the evening before giving up, during which he happened to line up that matriarch’s wife, and happened to give a hard lesson.

The next day, fully loaded and ready to go, Zhou Xuan, to the carriage store.

This was the place to rent a substitute mount, and since the destination of the Level B quest was basically in the border zone of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, there was no need to rent a flying mount.

After spending some spirit stones and renting a Black Scaled Pony, it took half a day to reach the border of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

But even at the border, no matter if it was a commercial road or an official road, it was all clean and tidy.

Zhou Xuan rode the Black Scaled Pony along the official road, and soon saw that on the left side of the official road, there was a goat’s intestines path, which was rugged and difficult to walk on, unlike the regular official road.

However, he still signaled the Black Scaled Pony to head towards the path.

This rugged road led to the depths of a valley, but both Zhou Xuan and the locals of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were used to it.

Many mortals who could not survive in the Mortal Dynasty would drag their families, or even entire villages, to migrate to the boundaries of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but they did not dare to enter the city, and would only establish villages in the borderlands of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Over time, there were more villages in the border zone.

When the Ten Thousand Swords Sect found out about it, they didn’t drive them away, but instead sent people to help them build villages.

Subsequently for these villages to open up the spiritual springs to give the spirit seed, so that these migrated people have something to do, to the maturity of the spirit seed will be someone will come over to unify the purchase.

Before we reached the village, we saw a stone monument erected by the roadside with the three red characters of the Li Family Village.

Approaching the village, Zhou Xuan did not enter first, but rode the Black Scaled Colt in a circle around the village before stepping into the village.

The entire Li Family Village was quiet and sparsely populated, with only a handful of women sitting in front of their doors chatting and doing handicrafts.

“I am a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I received a mission issued by your village head, where is your village head?”

Hearing that it was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the few women stood up in a panic.

But because they didn’t know the etiquette, they were a bit at a loss for words for a moment, but there was a smart one who pointed his finger deeper into the village and slightly stammered, “If you go further, the village chief is in the biggest house at the very end.”

“Thank you.”

Zhou Xuan smiled, then headed deeper into the village.

Arriving at the largest house within the village, he knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened, and in front of his eyes was an old man with white hair, a messy beard, and an overall slightly unkempt appearance.

Upon seeing Zhou Xuan, and looking at the uniform of an outer disciple, the old man’s eyes lit up and he respectfully said, “My lord, you are here, please come inside.”

Just as the old man turned around, about to entertain Zhou Xuan.

Plop…

Sharp pain came, the old man’s body trembled, as he looked down, a sword was penetrating his body.

He stiffened and turned his head to see Zhou Xuan who was grinning in an indescribably hideous manner.
