Ling Mo Xie nodded indifferently and picked up the document. Just then, a "ding!" sound echoed, signaling another notification from the System. Ling Mo Xie froze for a moment, surprised. Was there another mission?
Ling Siwen looked at Ling Mo Xie, who seemed dazed, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. I'll take this back to look at it!" As he spoke, Ling Mo Xie stood up with the document and bid farewell to Ling Siwen before returning to his own courtyard.
Opening the System, he discovered that it was yet another sudden mission. It seemed that the System had certain rules for issuing missions; at least it appeared to follow its own intentions.
Sudden Mission: In light of the character's strong resentment towards the Zheng family, this mission is hereby issued.
Mission Content: Annihilate the Zheng family and hunt down the descendants of the Zheng family in Chiyan City.
Mission Rewards: For each Zheng family descendant of equal level killed, reward of 50,000 Experience points; for each level gained thereafter, rewards double! Annihilating the Zheng family will yield a random Dan Fang, one pound of Purple Gold Sand, one piece of Lingyun Stone, a clue about Zhou Xinyi, and one Fengyun Yulong Saddle.
"Well, the rewards are decent! There are two items that I lack for refining materials. That saddle should be for mounts," Ling Mo Xie murmured softly before closing the System interface.
Fortunately, this mission did not have a time limit. After all, the Zheng family had a Golden Core Ancestor. If there were a time constraint, he would be in serious trouble unless he sought help from the Ling family, which he was unwilling to do.
He didn't pay much attention to this mission since it couldn't be completed in a short time. Ling Mo Xie began to review the documents he had received from Ling Siwen.
The Zheng family was a clan in Chiyan City near Tianfeng City. The strongest martial artist in their family was a Golden Core Ancestor. More than ten years ago, Zhou Xinyi's father's family was exterminated by them overnight; they must have relied on some external force to achieve that.
This time, the Zheng family acted alone, which allowed the Ling family to gather much useful intelligence. The Zheng family seemed to be searching for Zhou family's heirloom. The reason they wiped out the Zhou family back then was also for this purpose. However, they did not find it at that time. It wasn't until later that they learned the heirloom was with Zhou Xinyi and planned to seize it when Zhou Xinyi returned to Hongfeng Town. But they were discovered by members of the Ling family; in order to keep it secret, they exterminated the Ling family and abducted Zhou Xinyi.
Heirloom? Ling Mo Xie muttered in confusion as he flipped to the page introducing the Zhou family's heirloom.
The Zhou family has a long history and has produced remarkable individuals. One of them sealed an Azure Fire Golden Pheasant within a piece of jewelry. The Azure Fire Golden Pheasant possesses the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix, and once it matures, its power is extraordinary. If it could be tamed as a Beast Pet, dominating a nation would be effortless!
Could this be it? Ling Mo Xie took out the earring he found on the ruins of the Ling Family and examined it in his hand. He had already used his Detection Skill on this earring, but nothing was revealed; its name was simply an unknown earring, with the rest being a series of question marks.
After observing for a while and still not discerning anything, Ling Mo Xie had no choice but to put it back into his backpack. He carefully read through the information; since he needed to deal with the Zheng Family, he had to first understand the enemy's background.
"Ah!" Ling Mo Xie stretched lazily and set aside the information. Unbeknownst to him, it had already been dark for quite some time. Hong Chi was being looked after by a lad maid, so there was no need to worry.
Ling Mo Xie rubbed his temples; indeed, one should not underestimate any family! Individual strength is hard to compare with a united force.
After two days of exhausting travel, Ling Mo Xie decided to take a bath. He called for a lad and had some hot water prepared. Standing in front of the large wooden tub, he grimaced; he really wasn't accustomed to this world's way of life.
He stripped off his clothes and soaked in the steaming hot water. At that moment, a loud crash echoed above him. Before Ling Mo Xie could react, a fiery red shadow fell from above, accompanied by shards of glazed tiles scattering everywhere.
Ling Mo Xie cried out in pain as the hard tiles struck his chest, and then he was pressed down by a fiery red shadow that cut into his skin.
A basin of clear water was instantly stained red!
"Are you trying to assassinate me this way?" Ling Mo Xie exclaimed as he grabbed Sun Xiaoxiao from his body and threw her onto the ground beside him.
Sun Xiaoxiao's face turned completely red as she squatted silently on the side with her head lowered. "I... I... I heard you were going to compete with Yuwen Qingyu, so I came over."
Since the Ling Mansion and Sun Xiaoxiao's home were in different directions, they parted ways at the city gate on their way back. It seemed that this little girl only heard about it after returning home.
"Then why don't you go through the front door? What are you doing on the roof?" Ling Mo Xie shouted angrily. The shards of glass from Liuli had already entered his bloodstream due to Sun Xiaoxiao's weight, flowing along with his blood.
Taking a shower and getting injured would put anyone in a bad mood, especially since Ling Mo Xie was not known for his patience.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Sun Xiaoxiao squatted with her back to him and explained, "It's already nighttime; it's not appropriate to visit at this hour, is it?"
Ling Mo Xie sneered and sarcastically replied, "So climbing over the wall is a good idea?"
"Hmph! Why are you being so fierce? I'm just worried about you! That Yuwen Qingyu is in the Fasting Period, older than you, and has more combat experience. How can you compete with him?" Sun Xiaoxiao fired off her words in rapid succession.
Then she seemed to remember something, pausing for a moment before saying fiercely, "Don't get me wrong; it's because you promised to spar with me in three days. If you end up incapacitated by Yuwen Qingyu or something, how can we have a match?"
"Bang!" Just as Ling Mo Xie was about to respond, the door was pushed open with a loud bang. Several maids rushed in with Hong Chi, continuously calling out, "Young Master! Young Master! Are you okay? What happened? We heard a huge noise!"
As the maids entered and saw Sun Xiaoxiao squatting by the bed with her back to Ling Mo Xie, drenched from head to toe, they paused. A cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. "Sorry, sorry! We didn't mean to interrupt; we'll leave right away!" They quickly backed out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
Ling Mo Xie leaned against the wooden tub, extending his hand. He had intended to call the maids to clean up the mess but seeing their reaction made three black lines appear on his forehead. He sighed deeply; his reputation was ruined.
"Ah! Is there anyone in this world more unfortunate than me?" Ling Mo Xie held his head and wailed helplessly at Sun Xiaoxiao, "I won't hold this against you today; just go back! Don't worry; the one who will end up incapacitated will only be Yuwen Qingyu."
