Class Change Quest?

Late at night.

23:55

Wang Xian and the others stood a hundred meters away from the ancient scholar tree.

They had already found out that once the Ghost Gate opened at midnight, countless vicious ghosts would swarm this place and frantically attack the ancient scholar tree.

Vicious ghosts were monsters even stronger than Vengeful Souls, with the weakest among them being above level 30.

Moreover, these vicious ghosts broke the rule that ghosts could not actively attack people. Any living creature that came within a hundred meters of the ancient scholar tree would become a target.

"Stay sharp. It'll be midnight soon."

Wang Xian reminded everyone.

"Mm."

Everyone answered.

Second by second, time passed, and midnight was almost upon them.

"Who's there?"

Wang Xian suddenly turned around and looked toward the entrance of a building.

However, there was no response.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Is someone there?" Nangong Wu immediately asked.

At a time like this, she did not want any unexpected trouble.

"Come out!"

Receiving no answer, Wang Xian condensed a fireball in his hand and hurled it at the steps before the entrance.

"Don't, don't, don't! We'll come out!"

A woman's voice rang out from within.

Soon, two women around twenty years old appeared before them.

It was actually them!

Wang Xian's expression hardened as he recognized the two women.

Flower Goddess Cheng Yao had four great guards at her side: Wind Flower Snow Moon. Wind was Feng Luoli, and Moon was Yue Rushuang.

These two women were the remaining Flower and Snow among the four great guards.

Flower, Hua Xiangrong.

Snow, Xue Fangfei.

Wang Xian rubbed his chin as he looked at them.

This was interesting.

Cheng Yao's four great guards, Wind Flower Snow Moon, were now complete. What Wang Xian had not expected was for Flower and Snow to appear under these circumstances.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Feng Luoli and Yue Rushuang stepped forward together, their cold gazes fixed on Hua Xiangrong and Xue Fangfei.

"We were just passing by. Just passing by," Hua Xiangrong said weakly.

Everyone: ...

Who was she trying to fool with that?

"Rongrong, don't be afraid. We haven't done anything wrong."

Xue Fangfei patted Hua Xiangrong's shoulder. After comforting her, she turned to the group and said, "Who cares who we are? Are we bothering you?"

Everyone: ...

This woman probably did not know that trouble came from the mouth. There had been no issue to begin with, but her words and tone could make one.

"What? Planning to silence us? Come on, then. I can revive anyway!" Before anyone could speak, Xue Fangfei spoke again.

Everyone: ...

When had they ever said they wanted to silence them?

"What? Did I hit the mark? Let me tell you, if you kill us today, sooner or later I'll come back to take revenge on you. Come on!"

Xue Fangfei looked at them with a face full of grim determination.

Everyone: ...

What was with that expression?

"Hahahaha..."

Wang Xian burst out laughing.

He remembered what had happened with Xue Fangfei in his previous life. Whenever someone tried to approach or pursue Cheng Yao, Xue Fangfei would act just as she was now, endlessly talking until that person had nothing left to say.

Many people hated Xue Fangfei to the bone, but what could they do?

Fight her?

Don't joke around. As one of Cheng Yao's four great guards, her own strength was already extremely powerful.

More importantly, if you laid a hand on her, many things would become impossible to explain.

The Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Guild might label you as someone harboring ill intentions toward Cheng Yao. The consequences were easy to imagine.

"What are you laughing at, you creepy old man?" Seeing Wang Xian laugh, Xue Fangfei snapped.

Wang Xian's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

"Hahahahaha..."

Everyone else burst into laughter.

"Uncle, so you're a creepy old man in other people's eyes. Hahaha..."

Cheng Yao laughed the hardest, collapsing directly into Nangong Wu's arms.

Wang Xian grimaced. He had only gone a few days without shaving. How did that make him an old man?

Still, now was not the time to argue with Xue Fangfei. Midnight was almost here.

"You two, come over here!" Wang Xian called to Xue Fangfei and Hua Xiangrong.

The two of them were currently within a hundred meters of the ancient scholar tree. If a vicious ghost suddenly appeared beside them without them leaving the area, the two would certainly meet a tragic end.

Wang Xian did not want that to happen.

"Hmph. Why should we come over just because you tell us to?"

Xue Fangfei shot Wang Xian a disdainful glance.

"You're really not coming?"

Another fireball appeared in Wang Xian's hand and struck the ground near Xue Fangfei.

Xue Fangfei: ...

Filled with endless frustration, Xue Fangfei took Hua Xiangrong's hand and came over to the group.

Thump!

Wang Xian flicked Xue Fangfei hard on the head.

"You..."

Xue Fangfei immediately flew into a rage, but when she saw the lightning appear in Wang Xian's hand, she instantly backed down and could only curse Wang Xian endlessly in her heart.

"Hand it over."

Wang Xian held out his hand before Xue Fangfei.

"Hand over what? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Panic appeared in Xue Fangfei's eyes.

Seeing her expression, Wang Xian immediately knew his guess had been correct.

"Show her."

Wang Xian looked at Nangong Wu.

Nangong Wu was briefly stunned, then understood what Wang Xian meant. She took the Branch of the Ancient Shanyin Scholar Tree out of her backpack.

Xue Fangfei immediately froze.

"Big sister, you have one too."

Hua Xiangrong stared at the branch in Nangong Wu's hand with her mouth open in surprise.

"You little idiot, why did you say that?"

Xue Fangfei glared at Hua Xiangrong in exasperation.

They could have denied it to the end, but now everything had been exposed.

Kekeke—

Miserable wails suddenly rang out. Gusts of chilling wind appeared out of nowhere, and countless terrifying figures descended.

Midnight had arrived!

Without hesitation, Wang Xian immediately sent a party invitation to Hua Xiangrong and Xue Fangfei.

Though puzzled, the two accepted.

They also realized that they seemed to have misunderstood. Wang Xian and the others bore them no ill will. They had simply overthought everything.

"Yao Yao!"

Wang Xian immediately called out.

"Got it!"

Cheng Yao answered. With a wave of her right hand, countless illusory, beautiful flowers appeared and continuously revolved around everyone.

"Ding! You have received the Blessing of Hundred Flowers. All attributes increased by 15% for 6000 seconds."

The System Prompt sounded in everyone's ears.

After Cheng Yao's Hundred Flowers Compete skill had been used repeatedly, it had leveled up, and the attribute increase had risen from 10% to 15%.

Wang Xian and the others were naturally used to it, but Xue Fangfei and Hua Xiangrong were utterly shocked.

"Uncle, I suddenly received a quest."

Nangong Wu's voice suddenly rang out.

"A quest? Show it to me."

Wang Xian was extremely surprised, even somewhat excited.

Before entering the Main City, there were basically no quests to accept. The only quests available were class change quests for Hidden Professions.

Could it be that Nangong Wu had received the class change quest for the Phoenix Heavenly Maiden?
