Looking at the post on the forum, Lu Xun fell into deep thought.

His time was precious. Would he deliberately jeopardize the mission of the Emperor Guild because of past grudges?

—Yes, he would.

Of course, that would only happen when he was relatively free. If there were more important things to do, these old matters could be put aside. After all, to him now, the Emperor Guild wasn’t something he couldn’t mess with whenever he pleased, right?

Honestly, his grudges with the Emperor Guild weren’t that big. Just a few bizarre scoldings from the vice-president and some rumors spread here and there. It wasn’t worth it for him to cross mountains and seas, travel far to the Three Thousand Mountains to create havoc.

However, he wanted to undertake this mission and it was originally in his plan. What he didn’t expect was that the mission was triggered ahead of schedule by players during the internal test.

Generally speaking, the medium quality Yellow Outfit and Superior Yellow Armor didn’t hold any attraction for Lu Xun. Didn’t he directly shove inferior blue equipment like the Yin Beads into the hole in the Sword Sheath?

But concerning the Superior Yellow Armor in this mission reward, Lu Xun was very interested and even determined to obtain it.

Even if other players completed this mission, he would figure out a way to swindle this Yellow Equipment from them!

Because on the surface, it was a piece of Yellow Equipment, but in reality… it was a key!

This thing, Lu Xun had a substantial use for it!

So, it’s not that he’s petty or vengeful, it’s just that this mission reward is too tempting!

After closing the forum, Lu Xun began to recall the details in his memory.

Whether it’s a large guild or a small guild, after completing a difficult mission, they usually post on forums.

The goal was also for attention, the former to prove, “I’m really awesome, don’t you want to become our fan,” while the latter was, “Look at me, I’m not really lagging behind, don’t you want to join us?”

As a lone ranger, Lu Xun frequently studied these posts. In addition to learning and keeping up with current affairs, he sometimes benefitted from others’ failures. Some hidden missions seemed to have been completed, but sometimes there was a chain reaction that could trigger other missions!

He had seen too many such posts. If it weren’t for the profound impression left by this mission, he might not remember it clearly. After all, it was unrealistic to remember everything in detail.

The guild that completed this mission in his previous life was called Guild of the Two Jujube Trees, and its leader was likely an ardent fan or a hater of Brother Xun.

A famous quote from Brother Xun’s book was:

“There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, the other is also a jujube tree.”

Actually, the content varies slightly from the original text. In the original “Autumn Leaves,” the quantifier used was “stalk” not “tree,” but the basic meaning didn’t change. As for the meaning of this sentence… Lu Xun didn’t understand it anyway, so to each his own interpretation.

Lu Xun never forgot the guild’s name after seeing it once. Later, he had one or two encounters with the guild leader who was indeed a fan of Brother Xun. Every quote from Brother Xun, he could recite perfectly!

Regarding the location of the key person being hunted in the mission, Lu Xun had an impression as well.

If he remembered correctly, the reason this generous fellow managed to escape capture for several years was because he was a ruthless character.

The Sect Leader of Tianque Gate had slapped his left hand, leaving a red mark.

This mark could be examined by the disciples of Tianque Gate. To escape

Tianque Gate’s power range and evade the search, he cut off his own hand…

Of course, apart from cutting off his hand, he used other methods as well. In the end, he really managed to escape this area of Three Thousand Mountains.

However, he was greatly weakened as a result.

Normally, he should have been basically safe, but the players who received the mission were like cheats, they didn’t need to check for your marks or anything. As long as they were players carrying the mission, once they came into contact with you, they’d immediately receive a prompt—[Ding! Mission target detected].

Of course, if the NPC had a wide range of supernatural powers and was powerful, players wouldn’t have the authority to receive the prompt if their level was insufficient. But who can blame him for wasting most of his Cultivation Base?

After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Xun calmed down and stopped thinking about the mission. He had enough time to complete it, the current priority was to gain the dungeon experience in front of him, and strive to leave his name in the upper ranks.

After seeing this mission, he was even keener on leveling up. Otherwise, just the traveling would be exhausting. Once he learned to control objects, he could ride the Sword Sheath of “The Sword Qi is Near”. Not only could he ride it, he could even fly!

How Ji Li performed inside, Lu Xun did not know. But since she had not been teleported out of the Turtle’s Longevity for so long, it seemed that she was putting on a remarkable performance.

It was strange, in his previous life he had never heard of an NPC named Ji Li. But with Lu Xun’s crossing, her life trajectory was dramatically changed. With her talent and Lu Xun’s help, it was hard for her to remain unknown.

“I didn’t realize that I’ve unknowingly changed the destiny of many people.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

About fifteen minutes later, with a flash of white light, Ji Li was teleported out.

Her face was pale as she had several near-death experiences just now. She was still panting heavily, her breathing was fluctuating too much, which was a bit too noticeable.

“How is it?” Lu Xun asked.

“It’s hard!” While calming her emotions, Ji Li responded to Lu Xun. “Have you used all three trial chances?” Lu Xun asked again.

“Hmm.” Ji Li nodded her head.

Although the process was extremely perilous, she felt that she had benefited a lot, understanding many things and gaining many insights.

“Lu… Lu Nun!” Ji Li quietly called him and sneakily tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Previously Lu Xun had told her that she didn’t need to call him Young Elder when there were no outsiders. This made her extremely happy, as if just calling him by his name was enough to satisfy her.

“What is it?” Lu Xun asked.

Ji Li looked at him, tippy-toeing, trying to whisper into his ear in a very soft voice:

“The Trial Ground is full of traps, with so many variables, it took me a long time to remember some little rules. I’ll secretly tell you!”

She wanted Lu Xun to break through more traps and rank higher on the leaderboard. Otherwise, with his status, it would be somewhat embarrassing,

“Doesn’t this silly girl know that the locations for people entering the Trial Ground are not the same?” Lu Xun felt exasperated.

Moreover, due to the special nature of the Turtle’s Longevity, remembering these things was of no use.

But considering it was a gesture of goodwill from Ji Li, Lu Xun didn’t plan to tell her the truth and used a different explanation instead.

He seriously said: “Ji Li, the Turtle’s Longevity is a training ground for our Demon Sect. Our purpose here is to train. It’s great to get a good ranking, but if you can’t, it’s fine. Don’t treat it as a game!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Li felt Lu Xun’s image rose even higher in her heart and she nodded earnestly and emphatically.

“Great, now it’s my turn to play this game, and I will definitely get a good ranking!” Lu Xun threw his sleeve and thought to himself.
