177 Disciple, Here to Bother You!
The next day, the City Lord's Estate issued a level three mission summon.
It summoned all of the mystic cultivators, body cultivators, and superhumans to help the disciples of the three sects to go to Qinghe Town to search for food and resources.
Sources said that there was a giant granary in Qinghe Town with abundant food inside. It would suffice to be three months of grain storage for Xijiu City.
Qinghe Town?
Qiao Mu vaguely recalled that place.
All of the residents in Qinghe Town perished by the second day after the zombie outbreak, and it completely degenerated into a stronghold for zombies.
She remembered that the three sects also assembled a group of forces in her previous life to head to Qinghe Town to eliminate zombies and search for resources.
Unfortunately, all the disciples from the three sects, except for a survivor or two from Holy Water Sect, lost their lives in that town.
As a mystic cultivator, every time a special mission was issued from the City Lord's Estate, the content of the mission would be directly sent to the mystic cultivators to relay their importance.
Qiao Mu was no exception. She had received the City Lord's Estate's summon early in the morning.
She was reading through the mission notice when Steward Chang sprinted toward her and hastily bowed. "Miss, Sir City Lord is here."
Qiao Mu put down the notice letter and looked up at the steward. She gave him a light nod. "I understand. Please tell City Lord Gu to wait for a moment. I'll be right there."
Chang Zai servilely made a noise in response before hurriedly turning around and rushing toward the anteroom to receive the city lord.
Qiao Mu did a simple adjustment of her clothing before heading to the anteroom.
As soon as she walked through the door, she saw a woman with a purple jacket over a long dress leaning against the windowsill. She languidly turned around, strikingly alluring and seductive. She tilted her head and waved at Qiao Mu with a grin. "My disciple, your master is here to bother you."
Murong Xun's smile seemingly froze in time and emitted a faint light, shrouded by the rays of the rising sun.
Years later, Qiao Mu would still remember Venerable Master from this moment—her sinful appearance as she leaned against the side of the window and waved at her with a smile.
No matter how time raced on and how the past was like a mayfly…
She would not forget a single second of what she should remember. They were all cemented in the deepest recesses of her mind…
However, currently, Qiao Mu looked at this person, dumbfounded. She reflexively leaped back and dodged the woman's slender fingers.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled ruefully…
In truth, when he headed out in a rush this morning and saw Murong Xun suddenly appear behind him like a ghost, he also wanted to be like Qiao Mu and ask Mentor Murong, "Why are you here?!"
"My disciple, you played your master for a fool so ruthlessly yesterday, so Master is naturally visiting you bright and early today to have a good talk with you about life." Murong Xun reached out in an attempt to squeeze the little fellow's cheeks.
Qiao Mu jumped further back and silently ignored the wry smile on Murong Xun's face.
Gu Qingfeng coughed to try and obtain their attention. Master and disciple turned to glare at him simultaneously, embodiments of the attitude "Quickly say whatever rubbish you need to say."
Why did he inexplicably feel like master and disciple had very identical movements and expressions?
Gu Qingfeng dryly cleared his throat. "Um, Miss Qiao, I was wondering if you received the mission summoning order that the City Lord's Estate issued. If Miss Qiao can finish this level three mission, then your right of residence for the next year will be…"
"That's all you wanted to say?" Qiao Mu headed for the door. "I know it. Just inform me when the specific departing time is decided."
Even if the city lord did not visit today, she had already planned on going to the mission distribution center to register.
