Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 367 Peerless Master

"General Ye, who is this person living in the building?"

When Baili Ling spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was worried that his words would be heard by the protagonist he was talking about.

"Are you talking about Xiao? Have you met him?" Ye Lingchuan didn't hear the caution in his words and spoke as usual.

So the senior’s name is “Xiao”?

The name consists of only one word, which really exudes the style of a strong person.

Baili Ling summarized the information given by Ye Lingchuan in his mind.

Ye Lingchuan poured himself a refill of tea and sighed, "Hey, there's been so much going on in the city lately that I forgot to tell you about this. Seeing you like this, is there something unpleasant going on between you?"

Baili Ling considered his words for a moment before answering, "There were some incidents, but they're all in the past."

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. Xiao... this guy is quite good. He helped us a lot in this game against the Commander."

Ye Lingchuan subconsciously wanted to call Xiao "young man", but just when he was halfway through, he remembered that this guy was not a human, and maybe he had experienced much more than what he saw on the outside, so he quickly changed his words.

However, when Baili Ling heard that Xiao played a big role in dealing with the second-level order user, he became even more certain that Xiao was a hermit master.

"Oh? So there is such a thing. No wonder he lives here." Baili Ling said calmly.

What he didn't see was that Ding Shu was winking at him frantically behind his back.

When people say Xiao is a good person, he is the first one to disagree. How could a good person destroy a magic weapon so easily?

At the same time, Xiao, who had already left the city and was unaware that his angry appearance had caused someone to lose a magic weapon, suddenly sneezed uncontrollably.

He rubbed his nose and looked at the city gate not far behind him in confusion.

That’s not right. We haven’t even entered the mountains yet and the temperature is so warm, why am I sneezing?

Could it be that he caught a cold because he slept in the freezing cold in the mountains for two nights, and then came back and was busy for a while without getting enough rest?

Red Goblin: True or False.

Red Mandrill: "Let that wolf cub out. We've raised it for so long, it's time for it to be put to good use."

Xiao: “Oh.”

Back at the inn, although Baili Ling didn't notice Ding Shu's little action, the others in the team noticed it.

Someone leaned close to Ding Shu's ear and whispered in a servile tone, word by word: "Who told you to be such a servile person?"

"Go to hell!"

Ding Shu chased the person who had just spoken to him and ran out of the inn.

"It seems that your people are in good condition." Ye Lingchuan looked at the backs of the two people who ran out of the inn and knocked a compass-like thing on the table.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and no one's laughter or conversation could be heard anymore.

"Before we decided to storm, an unknown underground fire burned away the beast tide and did what we needed to do. Now everyone is in high spirits."

Baili Ling also noticed something unusual, and his eyes fell on the compass in Ye Lingchuan's hand.

"This is?"

"A magical weapon with a shielding effect." Ye Lingchuan put down his teacup, straightened his body, and said seriously, "In other words, you can take on new commissions at any time, right?"

Baili Ling also noticed the atmosphere suddenly becoming serious. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked, "Does General Ye have a commission?"

"Yes, I can't get away for the moment, so I need you to help me escort someone."

"who is it?"

"elf."

Baili Ling raised his eyebrows.

It's actually him? !

With this senior's strength, does he still need us to escort him?

Could it be that... he doesn't want the senior to reveal his strength to others?

Because of the kill Xiao gave them on first sight, and because Baili Ling couldn't tell what realm Xiao was at, and because Ye Lingchuan didn't reveal Xiao's identity, he could only guess from the existing information. This made him more and more convinced that Xiao was a hidden master.

A master who loves to pretend to be young.

Based on basic professional ethics, Baili Ling did not ask about Xiao's personal information to answer his own doubts, but instead asked about the specific content of the commission.

"time and location."

"As for the time, wait for my notification. The location is Huozhou City."

"Huozhou City? The one near the forbidden Jiting Sand Sea?"

"Exactly."

Baili Ling stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Huozhou City is located in the northwest inland. Generally speaking, the road to Huozhou City is definitely safer than the road to Baihe City, but since the hermit master Xiao is involved, it is hard to say which side is more dangerous.

If there were no trouble on the way, with Xiao's strength, there would be no reason to ask someone to send him off.

He is the captain of the adventure team, and the lives of his team members are in the hands of his thoughts when choosing the commission. It is impossible for him to take his old friends who have lived and died together with him to do a business that would lead to their own death.

However, despite this, he did not rush to refuse, but continued to ask: "Then what about the reward?"

"One million spirit stones, and a defensive magic weapon that can withstand three attacks from a god-level expert. In addition, before the operation, each person will be given a set of school-level protective gear. After the mission is over, you can take these protective gear away."

Hearing this reward, even with Baili Ling's experience, his eyes widened.

The members of the Adventure Association are all independent cultivators without any support, and the resources they have for cultivation are extremely scarce. These one million spirit stones may not be a big deal for the immortal sect, but for them, it is already a huge fortune, enough for them to squander for quite a long time - as long as they don't go to the auction house.

The magic weapon that could resist the attacks of god-level strongmen was something they couldn't even imagine.

Then there is the school-level protective gear. Since it came from Ye Lingchuan’s mouth, it must be the standard quality of the emperor’s personal army.

Colonel-level protective gear is the protective gear worn by officers at the colonel level in the emperor's personal army. It can weaken attacks from king-level people by at least 30%, and it is also a good thing.

But as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world. Such a huge reward must have its corresponding difficulty.

It's not worth risking your life for something you may not get.

But then again, Ye Lingchuan made this commission to him, which means that in the other party's eyes, his people are capable of completing this task.

How can you know if these things can go into your pocket if you don’t try them?

"Ahem, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General Ye."

Baili Ling realized his own loss of composure, took a deep breath, and calmed himself before continuing, "After all, there are five different teams here. I'm just the temporary commander they elected, and I can't make this kind of decision for them. I need to discuss this with them."

Ye Lingchuan nodded: "Okay, just give me a reply within three days."

……

Xiao rode on the red star and came to the foot of Baihe Mountain.

Looking at the lush forest ahead, he felt a headache at the thought of climbing the snow-capped mountains in the cold wind again.

It would be great if I could just fly up there.

Wait, even if he was rejected by Bai Heshan last time, it doesn’t mean he will be rejected this time.

He thought of the scale given to him by the mountain god.

When the mountain god gave him the scales, he said that it could tear through the extreme cold. It sounded like a pass, so could it break the restrictions in the air?

Xiao decided to give it a try. It wouldn't be a loss anyway. If successful, he could save a lot of travel time.

Flying is always faster than running, right?

Just do it.

A pair of green wings suddenly stretched out from Xiao's back, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from Chixing's back, leaving behind only the wolf cub with a confused look on his face, not knowing what had happened.

A few seconds later, Chi Xing finally realized that he was left behind, and rushed into the forest crying.
