Instructor Su is Furious

Su Lingyun was bent over her desk, writing furiously.

Today, she wore a bright purple Auspicious Cloud Dress. Her face, like that of a celestial being, showed some weariness.

Looking at the mountain of tasks piled on her desk, Su Lingyun gritted her teeth.

Several instructors from Little Rain Peak were coincidentally out today, leaving all the affairs for her to handle!

Su Lingyun knew very well that this was that guy's doing, trying to force her to surrender with heavy workload? No way!

Just as Su Lingyun was working hard, Luo Zheng suddenly appeared at the door. Seeing the beautiful purple figure bent over the desk, he knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Su Lingyun looked up and saw that the visitor was Luo Zheng. A strange look appeared on her face. "Luo Zheng, what are you here for?"

Luo Zheng walked forward and said, "Instructor Su, I want to accept a task."

"Accept a task?" Su Lingyun blinked her eyes and smiled. "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. The Outer Sect Disciples will be given pills soon, and those pills are enough for you to cultivate."

Generally speaking, Outer Sect Disciples who had just entered the Azure Cloud Sect were rarely in a hurry to do tasks.

Because at this time, the strength of Outer Sect Disciples was relatively low. Even if they accepted tasks, they could only accept simple ones.

The reward points were relatively few, and it was not worth the effort. It was better to cultivate peacefully on Little Rain Peak.

Luo Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't need pills, I need points."

He had that wonderful Profound Artifact body. Luo Zheng had long since disregarded ordinary pills. Although the Azure Cloud Sect was wealthy, the pills given to Outer Sect Disciples were much better than those from families outside the sect.

But no matter how good the pills were, they couldn't compare to the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill. As long as he was beaten, Luo Zheng was like Luo Zheng who had swallowed the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill, so he naturally didn't need them.

"Why are you in such a hurry for points?" Today, Su Lingyun was a bit talkative.

"I just need points," Luo Zheng said. How could he not be in a hurry? He needed to get a million points!

Of course, a million points would probably take a very long time, but at this stage, he still needed to get a hundred points. Although his current power couldn't rescue Luo Yan from Purgatory Mountain, visiting her should be fine, right?

Seeing Luo Zheng's stubbornness, Su Lingyun didn't say anything. She reached out and opened a booklet next to her, turned it towards Luo Zheng, and then said in her crisp voice, "This task booklet contains the most basic tasks. You can choose one from it."

Luo Zheng focused his gaze. The tasks were written with a brush, and each vertical line was a task.

"Guard a house, help the Li Family in the Imperial City guard their residence, three days, three points..."

"Escort, help the Fuwei Escort Agency transport a shipment, seven days, seven points..."

"..."

Seeing these points, Luo Zheng almost spat out blood.

The points rewarded for these tasks were too few. One point a day. If Luo Zheng wanted to earn points through these tasks, it would take more than three months to accumulate a hundred points.

If he relied on these tasks to rescue Luo Yan, it would probably take a million days.

"What? Think the points are too few? Everyone feels this way at first, but you'll get used to it slowly," Su Lingyun smiled brightly.

She smiled beautifully, but in Luo Zheng's eyes, it looked a bit like a shrewd merchant.

Actually, those points weren't few. Three points could be exchanged for six Square Crystal Stones. For some small families, six Square Crystal Stones was a huge sum of money. Moreover, the Azure Cloud Sect also took a certain percentage in between, so the actual cost to others was even greater.

"Are there any tasks with higher points?" Luo Zheng asked, feeling very conflicted.

"There are, but unfortunately, you can't take them," Su Lingyun waved her hand and said.

At this moment, Luo Zheng only had points in his eyes. How could he care if he could take them or not? He quickly said, "How do you know without trying? At least let me see them first, right?"

Although Luo Zheng's request was a bit unreasonable, Su Lingyun still took out another booklet and displayed it in front of Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng looked directly at the points below. The first task actually had two hundred points!

However, when he saw the task requirements, he was immediately dumbfounded.

"Task: Hunt Shadow Beasts, obtain a complete Shadow Beast hide."

Shadow Beasts were a special creature in the eastern part of the Eastern Region. They lived in the Shadow Forest. These Shadow Beasts did not have strong reproductive capabilities, so their numbers were not large, but their individual strength was very terrifying. It was said that even those in the Innate Secret Realm would find it difficult to return alive after entering the Shadow Forest...

Looking at the next task, it also had two hundred points, but the task requirement was to capture a notorious fugitive who had been famous for many years.

Luo Zheng simply couldn't take these tasks.

But as Luo Zheng continued to look down, he found another task below.

The point reward for this task did not have a fixed number, ranging from one point to over a thousand points.

Luo Zheng looked carefully and finally understood. The requirement for this task was to resist the worm tide!

The worm tide was a major problem plaguing the southern part of the Empire.

Every year in April and May, a large number of Blade Worms would pour in from the scorching south, bringing devastating disaster to the southern region.

Although the name "Blade Worm" contained the word "worm," they were definitely not as simple as worms, because the size of each Blade Worm was comparable to that of an adult human.

To resist the invasion of these Blade Worms, the Empire dispatched a large number of troops to the south every year to eliminate them.

But the Empire's troops alone were not enough, and the Azure Cloud Sect also sent many people over.

That's why there was such a task in the task list.

"Kill twenty Blade Worms to get one point, and kill a Blade Worm Leader to get one point..." The account book in Luo Zheng's mind was calculating rapidly. After a while, Luo Zheng said to Su Lingyun, "Instructor Su, I plan to accept the task of resisting the worm tide!"

Hearing Luo Zheng's words, Su Lingyun blinked her eyes and said with a hint of sarcasm, "You're quite the picker. This is the only mission on this booklet that you can accept, isn't it?"

Luo Zheng smiled and didn't deny it.

To earn points, he couldn't worry about so much right now.

Instructor Su was laughing a moment ago, but now her expression suddenly changed. "You're not allowed to go!"

Luo Zheng's smile froze on his face, and he asked blankly, "Why?"

"Do you think Blade Worms are that easy to kill? It's true that some Half-Step to the Innate Realm cultivators also accept these missions, but the death rate is as high as sixty percent. Do you understand what I mean?" Su Lingyun stared into Luo Zheng's eyes and said. With Luo Zheng's strength, going to kill Blade Worms? It was simply going to his death.

"I understand!" Luo Zheng nodded silently.

"It's good that you understand." Su Lingyun nodded in satisfaction, preparing to take the booklet away.

But Luo Zheng reached out and pressed down on the booklet. "But I still want to take this mission."

Su Lingyun was instantly exasperated and cursed in a very unladylike manner, "You understand my ass! In short, you're not allowed to go!"

Luo Zheng, however, said with a serious expression, "Instructor Su, I know you're concerned for my safety, but I desperately need points, so I must take this mission, whether you agree or not..."

Seeing the look in Luo Zheng's eyes, a look of confusion appeared in Su Lingyun's beautiful eyes. "Why are you in such a hurry to get points?"

Luo Zheng shook his head and refused to answer, just standing there like a wooden post, motionless. It seemed he wasn't planning to leave until he got this mission.

"You won't say? Then don't even think about taking this mission," Su Lingyun was getting a headache. This guy was as stubborn as an ox when he set his mind to something.

"Instructor Su, I must take this mission!" Luo Zheng repeated.

Su Lingyun couldn't be bothered to argue with Luo Zheng anymore and lowered her head to pick up her pen and start working.

So, Luo Zheng and Su Lingyun were stuck there.

For the entire day, the two of them didn't say another word.

Su Lingyun just busied herself with her own affairs, as if Luo Zheng didn't exist.

Luo Zheng stood beside her like a statue, motionless.

This strange situation continued until evening. Su Lingyun stretched her body and glanced at Luo Zheng coldly.

To be honest, from their first meeting, Su Lingyun had greatly admired Luo Zheng.

But now, Su Lingyun felt a sense of disgust.

It was true that the strength Luo Zheng displayed, the speed of his progress, and the perseverance he showed when facing enemies were all excellent.

But in Su Lingyun's opinion now, the reason Luo Zheng wanted to take missions as quickly as possible was just to temper himself faster and prove himself faster.

There was nothing wrong with this, but Su Lingyun felt he was a bit too eager for quick success.

Su Lingyun couldn't be bothered with Luo Zheng. She was about to leave.

But when she reached the door, her head heated up, and she turned back and threw a bright, shining token at Luo Zheng. "If you want to die, no one is stopping you!"

Su Lingyun was very confident in her judgment. She knew that Luo Zheng's strength was far more than what he showed, but the worm tide mission was very dangerous. In the worm tide, there were not only ordinary Blade Worms but also more powerful creatures. The probability of Luo Zheng being injured and dying was very high.

When Su Lingyun was calm, she would never allow Luo Zheng to participate in this mission.

The problem was that Luo Zheng's eagerness for quick success had annoyed Su Lingyun, and her head had heated up.

Women were always emotional creatures. Throwing the token to Luo Zheng was just an act of pique.

Soon, Su Lingyun regretted it a little. Luo Zheng was, after all, a disciple she had worked hard to snatch back. Letting him go to his death like this was not worth it.

But when she turned around and saw Luo Zheng happily accepting the token, she once again gave Luo Zheng a very unladylike glare and disappeared from the courtyard.

Luo Zheng was not a fool. He clearly felt Instructor Su's emotions.

It was just that now, to earn points, for Luo Yan, he couldn't worry about so much anymore.
