In the days when the Tibetan Cliff was facing the wall, Luo Xiu spent four months to learn the basics of smithing, and spent another three months to transform the caldron for burning elemental stone to learn the basics of beast taming. Under the assistance of his own powerful Beast Language, his progress was extremely fast.

It seems like half a year of time for the facade has ended as well.

That morning, Luo Xiu was preparing to head up to the flat roof to meditate, but just as he left the cave, he saw a red figure standing there with her hands behind her back. It was Chu Hongling.

"Senior Chu, why are you here?"

Luo Xiu was quite surprised, he had heard from others that Chu Hongling had received a lot of attention from Xue Fengying after the trial. Other than cultivating, he had also given her a lot of internal affairs, as if she was her successor.

"Hur hur." Chu Hongling turned around and smiled sweetly, "Can't I appear here?"

Luo Xiu heard his words and was stumped for words. He could only force a smile and scratch his head: "That's not what I meant. I heard that Senior Chu has been extremely busy recently, so I wonder what business do you have here?"

Chu Hongling feigned anger: "What, you don't have anything so I can't come to short peak?"

Luo Xiu was completely speechless after being beaten up by Chu Hongling, so he could only grin, "Senior Chu, stop teasing me."

Chu Hongling burst out in laughter, like a red lotus that was gently blooming on her charming face. After three months of not seeing her, the young girl's grace had become even more charming, making Luo Xiu a little embarrassed to look at her for too long.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Chu Hongling blinked her crystal-like eyes and changed into a serious expression: "I did indeed have a matter to discuss with you."

"Hmm?" Luo Xiu was startled.

"You know as well, our Burning Sun Sect is one of the Four Major Sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are a lot of resources below the ground." You know as well, our Burning Sun Sect is one of the Four Major Sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are a lot of resources below the ground.

"Oh!"

Luo Xiu thoughtfully nodded his head. A large sect like the Burning Sun Sect would have many matters to settle every month, and these random missions would usually be left to the disciples to settle.

Outer sect disciples who did not pass the examination and could not enter the inner sect relied on completing these trivial missions to obtain the resources of the sect.

"This mission actually has inner court disciples. I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as just 'taking a look', right?" Luo Xiu asked tentatively.

Chu Hongling giggled and looked at him, "Junior Brother Luo Xiu is really smart! According to the reports from the disciples over there, they might have been targeted by someone, but we do not know the specific details, so most of the inner sect disciples do not dare to easily accept this mission. Eldest Brother and the others have other important matters to attend to, so this mission will fall to the two of us. "

"Why us?" Luo Xiu muttered.

"Who told you to perform so well in the Newcomer's Trial? In the entire sect right now, other than the few Senior Brother s that were initially by the Sect Master's side, who else would you send, being the strongest?" Chu Hongling rolled her eyes at Luo Xiu in annoyance.

Hur

Luo Xiu was helpless, he could only laugh and muddle through.

"Forget it, just treat it as taking a stroll. You have also stayed in Tibetan Cliff for so long. Half a year's time on the wall has also ended, so this trip is just right for us. " Chu Hongling blinked her eyes and said smilingly.

"Mm, then when are we going?" As matters stood, Luo Xiu had no choice but to accept.

"Right away." The situation over there is still unclear. The earlier we get there, the better. "

As Chu Hongling spoke, she took out a wooden eagle from the Cosmic Bag s, and with a wave of her hand, she activated the technique. The meta-light flourished on the wooden eagle, and before long, it became a twenty foot long gigantic beast, floating in front of the two of them.

"Let's go."

With a tap of her foot, Chu Hongling leaped up lightly and landed on the back of the wood kite. Luo Xiu also jumped up and stood beside Chu Hongling.

"Let's go."

Just as the clear voice came out, Chu Hongling urged her artefact to move again. The wood kite soared into the sky instantly, stirring up a huge gust of wind, and then flew past the sky, heading towards the west quickly.

whooshing

In the sky, wood kite flew quickly, and the Tianfeng whistled past the two of them. That speed was countless times faster than the wind element Paper Crane and grass type geese!

"As expected of a medium grade magic tool, its craftsmanship can be said to be excellent!"

Luo Xiu had learned some basics of artefact's creation, so he looked at the wood kite and said head first: "If He Feng was riding on this wood kite, then I wouldn't have been able to beat him with the tree trunk."

Chu Hongling laughed: "Of course, this is a artefact of the same level, they are not on the same level as those weak consumables."

Hearing that, Luo Xiu laughed, and then said: "I heard that Senior Chu's house should be at Cang Nan Town right? That place does not seem to be far from Red Creek Valley. "

"Yeah, only twenty or thirty kilometers away."

Chu Hongling nodded slightly. As she thought about her hometown, the emotions in her heart mixed for a moment, "Speaking of which, it's also been more than two years since I last returned."

Hearing Chu Hongling's somewhat sorrowful tone, Luo Xiu suggested, "Then, after we finish dealing with the matters with the Red Creek Valley, let's go over there as well."

"You, we came out here to do something, not to play. Why are you running around randomly?"

Chu Hongling scolded and laughed. The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, not feeling bored at all.

Relying on the speed of the artefact, they flew for more than half a day before Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling finally arrived at Red Creek Valley.

The first thing that entered Luo Xiu's line of sight was a lush and verdant forest. In the midst of the lush greenery, there was a red stream that was extremely eye-catching.

"We're almost there."

Chu Hongling said, her gaze sweeping the area below, and not long after, she discovered the marked valleys on the map given by the sect, and immediately flew away with the wood kite.

It was inconvenient to fly from valleys, so the two of them landed at the entrance of the valley. Not long after Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling landed, a few figures appeared in their surroundings.

The leader, a young Female around twenty year old asked sternly: "Who are you people? Do you know this is Burning Sun Sect's place?! "

Looking at the half of the Burning Sun Sect's emblem embroidered on their clothes, Luo Xiu and the others immediately realised that these were all outer sect disciples that were in charge of taking care of the Red Creek Valley.

"Hello senior sister, we are disciples sent by the sect. My name is Chu Hongling and this is junior brother Luo Xiu."

Chu Hongling said, as she took out an inner sect identity badge from her waist.

The young Female was startled upon hearing this, she seemed to still not believe him, but when she saw Chu Hongling taking out the order badge, the doubt in her heart could not help but disperse.

"So it's Senior Chu and Brother Luo. My name is Li Yun, and I'm one of the outer sect disciples in charge of managing Red Creek Valley's medicinal field. These few are our outer sect's Senior Brother disciples." Li Yun said, and then the two introduced everyone.

Luo Xiu greeted everyone and discovered that these people were all eighteen or nineteen, two years older than him and Chu Hongling. However, they treated them with extreme respect, and even called them Senior Sister Senior Brother. This was the difference between inner and outer court disciples.

"I was lacking in manners earlier, I hope Senior Chu and Brother Luo do not take offense to it. We noticed that a group of people seemed to have their eyes on the medicinal field, causing everyone to become a little nervous, please do not mind them." Li Yun's words were respectful, he did not dare to offend him in the slightest.

This kind of caution made Luo Xiu feel a bit uncomfortable: "Senior Sister Li is too serious, we're all family, how can I not mind?"

Hearing this, Li Yun seemed to be startled for a moment, and then gratefully looked at Luo Xiu.

The inner sect disciples that she had met in the sect were not as good-natured as Luo Xiu. The outer sect disciples, who had failed the examination, were simply nominal names, especially those that did not pass and were basically just menial servants in the sect. Normally, they had to curry favor with the inner sect disciples and receive their leisure, which was why she chose to leave the Burning Sun Mountain and take care of the medicinal fields in the Red Creek Valley.

And this Luo Xiu in front of her, unexpectedly had some respect for her, this made Li Yun feel mixed emotions.

After pondering for a moment, only then did Li Yun remember what she was doing and hurriedly said, "You few continue to patrol the vicinity. Senior Chu, Brother Luo, please follow me into the valley, I will bring you to meet the person in charge of this place. "

Waiting for Luo Xiu and Chu Hongling to nod their heads, Li Yun then brought the two of them to the entrance of the valley.

The rest of the disciples looked at the youth and young girl disappearing into the forest, with worried expressions on their faces. "Why did sect send only the two of them?"

"Indeed, these two are still so young. I wonder how much they can help ?"

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. If these words were to spread to the ears of those two, it would be unbearable for us. Since things have already come to this, there's no point in overthinking it. It's better for us to continue patrolling. "

The rest of the people shook their heads helplessly. They then formed a party and went on patrol, like a hidden bush.

When the disciples of the Burning Sun Sect had all disappeared from this area, on a large tree not far away, two pairs of cold eyes flashed.

"Haha, my Burning Sun Sect has sent some reinforcements over, but it's only two hair-raising boy s!" One of the young Men that looked like a monkey said.

"It seems that the heavens are helping us, Burning Sun Sect is the Great sect after all, and is not someone that us small gangs can afford to offend. Since we've decided to do it this time, we must do it cleanly, and not one of the people inside can be left alive, or else there will be endless trouble in the future!" Another middle aged Men who was wearing a robe said.

"Heh, Master Hu, you're too careful, aren't you? What can a bunch of immature and inexperienced Kid do?" The young man said disapprovingly.

"Watch out for a ten thousand year ship!"

Master Hu stroked his moustache and said meaningfully, "The winds of the martial arts world are strong, how can one be safe? It's better to be careful, rather than capsize too quickly."

"Alright, alright," the youth said impatiently. "This time when you see their reinforcements, we have already figured out their background. Are you satisfied? We should go report to the Second Leader."

After the young man finished speaking, without waiting for Master Hu's response, he turned and leapt up, climbing and jumping on the tree branches. There were indeed some monkey patterns, but Master Hu also extended his movement techniques and immediately followed.
