"Okay, you're welcome to ask me any questions anytime." A barely perceptible smile flashed in Ye Wuyan's eyes.

It's done!

He has ignited the fighting spirit in the little student!

Ye Wuyan was engrossed in the thought that Gu Ling would soon become an outstanding graduate, win the bet, and then use this to mock Li Rui for a year and a half!

Therefore, Ye Wuyan subconsciously overlooked how, back in Nanping County, he was tormented by Gu Ling's constant barrage of questions, to the point of almost bursting into tears.

Gu Ling's heart burned with excitement: "Senior Ye, thank you for telling me all this. I'm going to accept my mission now."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and go!"

"..."

After the video call ended, Ye Wuyan picked up his teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

Ye Xiaobai watched the whole thing from the sidelines, sensing something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Worried, she asked, "Teacher, you're not trying to trick Sister Lingling, are you?"

These days, whenever a teacher shows an expression like the one just now, they quickly receive a red envelope from the professors.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person? How could I possibly trick a little classmate?" Ye Wuyan blinked, looking completely innocent.

This isn't a pitfall at all!

If the student becomes an outstanding graduate, she will win the bet and have the opportunity to borrow the secret manual from the Hundred Flowers Dojo, which will help her improve faster.

Rounding down is an extra bonus, isn't it?

Isn't this reward valuable? Isn't it appealing?

It's important to know that the dojo's secret manuals aren't available to everyone.

He didn't cheat Gu Ling at all!

"Oh..." Ye Xiaobai nodded silently.

"...What are you talking about? What kind of scam?" Ye Hui came in through the back door and heard the two chatting in the living room. She took off her gloves and asked gently.

Ye Wuyan immediately shook his head: "It's nothing, teacher!"

"You went to visit Professor Meng again and came back?"

"Hmm~" Ye Wuyan carried a freshly poured cup of hot tea, walked over in a few steps, handed the tea to Ye Hui, and quickly changed the subject without blinking: "Teacher, are you tired? How about I take care of recording the sample data in the research institute during this period?"

"You?" Ye Hui took the tea, took a sip, and shook her head with a smile. "Can you even get up in the morning? It's safer to leave it to Huo Huo than to you."

Just then, the Flame Monkey came out carrying a pot of hot soup and called out to the three of them, "Wow~" It's time to eat.

Ye Xiaobai silently got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to help bring out the dishes.

Over here, Ye Wuyan was still trying to make excuses: "...cough, it's just that the weather is too cold."

Ye Hui teased, "It's so cold, yet you're so eager to visit neighbors and collect red envelopes? Tell me, how many did you get today?"

"Three! Uncle Hua and the others have gone to visit relatives, they're not home." Ye Wuyan took out three red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Ye Hui, but there was still some regret on his face.

Ye Hui smiled helplessly: "Be content. If I remember correctly, you've already received four red envelopes from Professor Meng alone. You've almost squandered all of Professor Meng's pension this month."

"I'm going to the secret realm in a couple of days. Keep an eye on the house. I'll leave the samples in the research institute to you. There are a few nests of newly hatched chicks over the back mountain. Remember to go and record the data."

Ye Wuyan suggested, "Go to the secret realm? Then I'll go with you!"

"No need." Ye Hui shook her head and casually returned the red envelope to Ye Wuyan, but her attitude remained unchanged: "If you go into the secret realm, I'll have to take care of you."

Ye Wuyan retorted, "No way!"

Ye Hui countered, "What if you get lost? This secret realm is newly created and still quite unstable; it could close at any time."

Ye Wuyan: "..."

A moment later, while the three were eating, Ye Wuyan asked again, still unwilling to give up, "Mom~ can't I really go to the secret realm with you? Can Ye Qiao come and look after the house instead?"

"I've already agreed to let Qiaoqiao be my assistant this time."

"Damn it..." That brat beat him to it!

"..."

……

at the same time.

Ping'an Town.

After having lunch with her family, Gu Ling told everyone that she would be going to the Bishugang Nature Reserve in two days to do a guild quest.

Xiang Jinli looked somewhat worried: "Is it in such a hurry? Can't you stay home and play for a few more days?"

Gu Mingsheng is a resident beast tamer of the Pet Beast Guild, so Xiang Jinli also knows a lot about the guild's missions and knows that many of them are quite dangerous.

Gu Ling nodded: "I've already accepted the mission. I'll set off tomorrow to the nearest Pet Alliance branch to buy Beastmaster Armor, and I'll officially start the mission the day after tomorrow."

"Getting to Bishugang Nature Reserve quickly will also allow us to complete the mission faster."

If there's still time after completing the task, you might be able to take on another guild task.

Gu Mingsheng put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Xiao Ling, when you've chosen your protective gear, don't rush to place the order and pay. Let me take a look at it first."

"Okay, Second Uncle." Gu Ling nodded.

Even if Gu Mingsheng hadn't brought it up, Gu Ling had originally planned to have him help her choose protective gear.

After all, Gu Mingsheng has been carrying out guild missions for many years, so he is very familiar with what kind of missions require what kind of protective gear, and what kind of cost-effective and affordable protective gear is available.

"Gu Ling, what mission did you take on?" Gu Zhou's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Can I add people halfway through?"

Gu Ling shook her head: "This is a solo mission, level two difficulty. You are a one-star beast tamer. Even if you can add people halfway through, you still won't be able to accept the mission."

Gu Zhou: "..." That hurts.

Gu Ya smiled and then said, "Lingling, then you need to be careful."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

After finishing their meal, Gu Ling took Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost out for a walk to digest their food and do some warm-up training before the guild mission.

seaside.

Gu Ling stood on the beach, watching Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost facing each other on the left and right.

"You've played for so long, it's time to get back to training. You can play around for a bit." With that, Gu Ling sat down on the small stool she had just pulled out of the mischievous boy's belly.

"Mwah~" Xian Jiu put her hands on her hips and beckoned to the mischievous ghost with her finger.

"Hehe~" The mischievous boy grinned, and his two chubby little hands quickly formed hand seals, condensing several shadow balls that hurled at Xian Jiu!

Just a second before all the Shadow Orbs were about to smash into Xian Jiu, Xian Jiu's figure suddenly vanished.

Bang bang bang!

The Shadow Balls smashed deep craters into the beach, and amidst the flying dust, a large number of shadows fell on the head of the mischievous ghost.

The mischievous boy looked up and saw Xianjiu falling downwards with her limbs outstretched.

The moment their eyes met, Xian Jiu's beautiful, round cat-like eyes suddenly gained a sharp edge, and a faint blue light flashed by.

Meanwhile, alarm bells were ringing in the mischievous boy's head!

not good!

It's because they saw through it!

The mischievous boy instinctively glared back, his blood-red eyes appearing even more eerie and terrifying, as if flowing blood was about to drip down.

Strange light!
