Path Of The Lilies 254 Sudden Mission 2

"I see," Lu Wan responded. His tone was flat as if he didn't feel anything despite the clear ripple inside his eyes. He clearly remembered how much his sister bragged to everyone about her engagement. Back when he just got out of the training hall, his sister came to him, bragging at him while mocking.

It was also the first time in his life he saw that kind of expression on his sister's face. One that was filled with contempt and satisfaction. She looked as if she enjoyed seeing him annoyed and in pain.

He never understood her, not that he wanted to. After what had happened, he just didn't want to interact with her anymore. He wanted to keep the image of his cute and pure little sister in his mind and not the one who schemed and aimed to take his life.

Ye Jiao looked at her senior brother. "Senior Brother Lu, are you not going to accept the mission?"

"It's fine if you don't want to," Qi Huan shrugged. "We won't force you."

The two of them didn't blatantly show their worry, but Lu Wan could sense it beneath the layer of what these two said to him. Seeing their expression, he knew that these two would want the best for him.

As for not accepting the mission…

"That's not going to happen," Lu Wan smirked. "Do you really think that you two will be enough to face that many guards with just two people? If you really wish to kick me out, you have to do so by force."

Ye Jiao clasped her fists, "That's a good idea. I haven't tested my power after I advanced into rank 3."

"Wait, you're not going to bully me, right?"

"Why not? It sounds fun~!"

The playful tone that Ye Jiao used made Lu Wan nearly vomited blood. He knew that she was not serious, but really, why did her expression have to be so eager? Please tell him that it was just an act, right?

He truly couldn't tell whether they were merely acting or they truly wished to beat him up.

Thankfully, Lu Wan didn't try to ask this to the two of them because the answer he got would surely make him want to vomit blood. The two of them would definitely readily answer. "BOTH!"

Zhan Jing waved his hand. "Anyway, you can depart now."

"Ah, now?"

"Master, you're kicking us out now?" Ye Jiao felt like crying. She had just reunited with her senior brothers and master again and now she had to depart for a mission. She hadn't had enough time playing around with them.

"Yes."

"Master, you're really harsh." Lu Wan's lips twitched at his master's immediate reply. He felt that their master no longer cared that much about them because he could just throw them out almost immediately.

"Don't waste my time."

"Eh, Master?"

The three of them looked up and they could see their Master was looking at them with a complex gaze. Both Qi Huan and Ye Jiao were better when a.n.a.lyzing people's gaze, so they immediately realized that there was something different in the way their Master looked at them.

Before they could try to probe deeper, Zhan Jing crossed his arm. "Make use of your time to train well. I hope that you can enter the academy in Autumn."

"Master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Jing used his Eon Energy and literally threw them out of the headquarters. The three of them were thrown midair, so they have to somersaulted midair to make sure that they didn't land on their b.u.t.ts on the ground.

It was good that they were all proficient in battle and managed to maneuver their body midair properly as they landed on the ground properly.

"d.a.m.n! Master sure is heartless," Lu Wan cursed. That was his room alright!

Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. "I guess, that just means we have to go and finish the mission that he gives us."

Qi Huan didn't reply right away. He was looking in the direction where the headquarters was located with a strange glint in his eyes. It was as if there was something that he wished to say yet he was unable to.

That gaze Zhan Jing showed to them, even though it was only a split second had made him understood the complex intricacies behind the seemingly ordinary organization. If even someone who was so powerful like Zhan Jing couldn't escape from the system, how powerful one should be in order to oppose this kind of organization?

From Qi Huan's estimation, even Eon Energy Master Rank 6 might not necessarily win.

And for the three of them, Eon Energy Master Rank 6 was a very high figure that they wouldn't be able to meet easily with their current status. It was also unknown how many years or even decades they needed to spend before they could possibly reach that rank.

"Senior Brother Shan?"

"Let's go. We might need to finish the mission as fast as possible," Qi Huan returned back to his senses as he looked at the other two.

Ye Jiao's eyes glinted when she heard Qi Huan's words. She had guessed that there was something that their Master wanted to hide based on his reaction just now, but she was not sure. It seemed that Qi Huan also came to the same conclusion as her.

They needed to finish this sudden mission as fast as possible.

Lu Wan arched his eyebrows. "Why do you wish for us to quickly finish the mission? It's rare that Master didn't impose a time limit for us."

In his opinion, they should take their time and make proper planning before doing the mission. Their crazy master didn't set any time limit this time, so he preferred to take everything slowly. Doing it so recklessly would only lead them to their death door. There was no need to hurry this time.

Both Qi Huan and Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. As they expected, only Lu Wan didn't realize anything was weird.
