673 Heading out of the Sec

Sunlight shone down from the sky and turned into rays that lit up the lady’salluring and slender body on the platform. She looked extremely dazzling.

A head full of dark black hair was tied up into a simple ponytail, which hungsoftly on her body till her waist. Her ponytail was slightly curled, giving herthe feeling of youth and liveliness that was quietly blossoming. This woulddefinitely brighten up the mental state of the surrounding individuals who sawher.

Anyone who laid their eyes on this lovely and pure young lady would feel quitejoyful. Lin Dong, however, was the only exception. When he saw Ying Huanhuan’sbeautiful face, he involuntarily rubbed his nose. It turns out that histravelling buddy this time around was actually her…

Only now did he finally realize why Wu Dao’s smile looked so strange. It seemslike that old fellow had known about it all along.

Lin Dong’s eyes lingered on Ying Huanhuan for a while, before he turned away.Glancing at her side, there were two young men standing arrogantly.

The two of them were tall and thin and they looked fairly dashing. One of themwas dressed in white, while the other was dressed in black. From a singleglance, one could tell that they gave off an imposing aura. When theyoccasional glanced at Lin Dong, one could easily identify a tinge of arrogancein their looks. Naturally, Lin Dong did not care about this. His Desolate Hallhas been ranked last for the past few years. Therefore, when disciples from theother three halls looked at them, they naturally felt a sense of superiority.

Based on the Yuan Power fluctuations emitted from their bodies, which did notlose out to Jiang Hao, Lin Dong was able to deduce that they must hold a prettyrespectable status in their respective halls. In fact, they may even be seniordirect disciples as well. Hence, it was reasonable for them to be slightlyarrogant.

An old man with a head full of white hair beamed and looked towards Wu Dao andLin Dong, who were descending on the platform. He smiled and said, “Haha, themembers from Desolate Hall have arrived…”

Wu Dao smiled and nodded his head. He bowed at the old man before introducinghim to Lin Dong, “This is Elder Bai Hua.”

“So this little brat is Lin Dong from your Desolate Hall, who has recentlybecome quite a sensation? Entering the hall for less than a month and becominga senior direct disciple. It seems like he might have broken some records,”said the old man with a smile, while he stared at Lin Dong.

After the old man spoke, behind him, Ying Huanhuan could not help but shoot aglance at Lin Dong. She naturally knew about this incident as well.Furthermore, when she first heard about it, not only her but even her eldersister Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly startled. Evidently, both of them had neverexpected that Lin Dong could actually become a senior direct disciple inDesolate Hall within such a short period of time.

“Elder, you’ve overpraised me. It was all thanks to the generosity of mysenior brothers, who let me pass their tests,” replied Lin Dong with a faintsmile.

When he heard Lin Dong’s modest reply, the white-haired old man was quitepleased. Stroking his beard, he nodded his head faced Wu Dao and said: “Notarrogant and not hot tempered. He is a good seed. Looks like this time yourDesolate Hall got lucky.”

“That is..” said Wu Dao, while laughing without a shred of politeness. Thebehaviour Lin Dong displayed during this period had consistently exceeded hisexpectations. At this rate, if Lin Dong was given time, his future achievementswould definitely be quite spectacular.

The white-haired old man laughed before turning his attention towards Lin Dongand the other three and said: “Huanhuan will be the leader for the mission. Asfor the specific details, she will update and brief all of you once you guysare on your way.”

When he heard the old man’s words, it caused Lin Dong to gawk for a moment. Hecould not resist but look doubtfully at the young lady in front of him, who waswearing a white blouse and a green skirt. She looked exactly like a naive andinnocent young girl. Why did the elder choose her to be the leader?

A crack appeared at the corner of Lin Dong’s mouth. He was a person who hadcome out of a place like the Ancient Battlefield. However, he had neverexpected that they would actually choose a silly little lass to be their leader…

Moreover, what really stunned Lin Dong was the reactions of the two malesafter the white-haired old man spoke. The two of them from Earth and Flood Halldid not have a shred of objection, as if they were completely agreeable withthis arrangement.

“Could it be this little lass is not as simple as she seems?” murmured LinDong secretly.

“Yes? Do you have a problem with Elder Bai Hua’s arrangement?”

Just as Lin Dong murmured in his heart, a clear and sweet-sounding voice rangbeside his ear. Raising his head, the first thing he saw was Ying Huanhuanrevealing a smile so sweet it could make bones turn soft. However, within herbig beautiful eyes, Lin Dong could identify a cunning fox-like nature.Immediately, he suavely waved his hand and said: “I will do whatever elder hasinstructed.”

Lin Dong’s swift response caused Ying Huanhuan’s crescent-shaped eyebrows tojump slightly. However, she could only swallow the words that were about toleave her mouth. Curling the corner of her mouth, she said, “I’ve led groupsout of the sect for over ten times. Thus, I have much more experience than younewbies. In this world, being older does not automatically give you the rightto be arrogant.”

The moment those words came out of her mouth, it caused Wu Dao and Elder BaiHua to gawk. Promptly, they could only shake their heads helplessly. Eveninnocent bystanders like them were roped into this conflict. Seems like thislass’s mouth is still so sharp…

Lin Dong’s expression did not change. Although the contrast between YingHuanhuan’s age and her experience left him surprised, that was all to it.Perhaps Lin Dong cannot match up to her in terms of knowledge and experience,however, having slaughtered his way out of the cruel Ancient Battlefield, LinDong possessed the cautiousness and ruthlessness that these super sectdisciples did not have.

However, when Ying Huanhuan saw Lin Dong’s calm expression, she immediatelyclenched her teeth. This fellow is simply too disrespectful…

“Let’s go.”

Ying Huanhuan casually shot a glance at Lin Dong. Following which, withouthesitation, she extended her semi-transparent jade-like finger. It looked likea perfect piece of artwork and caused one to be unable to tear their gaze away.

Dong.

Ying Huanhuan’s slender jade-like finger waved around casually in the spacebefore her. A clear sound unexpectedly rang out, before it dissipated in thesky.

Hiss!

Not long after the dissipation of that sound, a clear cry rang out from a hugeverdant mountain not far away. The sound came from a large green condor thatflew over to the platform while carrying along crazy gusts.

“Let’ go, we will leave and return quickly.”

As her alluring body flashed, Ying Huanhuan mounted the green condor. Uponseeing this, the disciples from Earth and Flood Hall quickly followed behindher. Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before saluting to Wu Dao and Bai Hua andleaving.

Hua!

After the three of them boarded the green condor, Ying Huanhuan gave it alight pat. It began to flap its gigantic wings, creating crazy gusts before ittook off with a lightning speed.

On the platform, Wu Dao looked at the green condor in the horizon, beforeturning his head around and asked: “Are they headed towards the Blood CliffGrounds this time?”

“Yes.”

“That place is very chaotic with a mix of good people and scumbags. Is italright to let four youngsters go?” asked Wu Dao while frowning.

“Relax, nothing will happen to them. Our Dao Sect has a Yuan mine at thatarea. According to the reports, there is some strange activity occurring there.I believe that it should be some demonic beasts wreaking havoc. The four ofthem are all top individuals from their respective halls. Therefore, I believethat they should be able to settle this issue,” replied Bai Hua with a smile.

After hearing his reply, Wu Dao did not speak further. However, within hisheart, uncertainty unknowingly started to bubble up…

……

Above the horizon, the green condor’s flapping wings create crazy gusts as itflew through the sky. The speed they were travelling at was as quick aslightning.

Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the back of the green condor. This condor wasobviously not a normal creature. It was emitting energy from its body, whichcompletely blocked the crazy gusts that it generated. Therefore, they were ableto sit peacefully on its back.

Ying Huanhuan was seated at the front of the green condor. The two disciplesfrom Earth and Flood Hall were quite familiar with her and sat slightly behindher. From their conversation, Lin Dong could sense that the two of them fanciedher. This was no surprise to Lin Dong, as Ying Huanhuan is not onlyexceptionally talented, but she was adorable, cute and lovely as well.Furthermore, she gave off a pure and innocence vitality that could infectanyone. In fact, even Lin Dong found it hard to resist. As such, it was notsurprising that the two of them would fancy her.

Lin Dong gradually withdrew his gaze from Ying Huanhuan and the two of them.Looking towards the sea of trees that were rapid retreating, he could not helpbut think of Little Marten and Little Flame…

“I wonder how they are right now…”

Lin Dong pursed his lips. Little Marten and Little Flame had been gone forover a month. However, Lin Dong had yet to receive any updates from the both ofthem. Although he knew that they would not face any major issues due to LittleMarten’s abilities, it was inevitable that he still felt a little worried inhis heart.

After being accustomed and relying on their presence during numerous strugglesand fights, Lin Dong was somewhat unable to adapt with their sudden separation.

“Hey.”

Just as Lin Dong was slightly absent-minded, a melodious voice rang out fromthe front. He raised his head while staring blankly in front for a while beforethe surrounding scenery retreated rapidly around him. The young lady in a whiteblouse and a green skirt tilted her head and stared at him. Her pitch blackponytail brushed across the nape of her neck. Coupled with her bright andbeautiful big eyes, which were akin to a lak, she looked exceptionallybeautiful.

“What?”

After being slightly absent-minded due to such a soul-stirring scene, Lin Dongregained his consciousness and asked.

“You are quite antisocial. Everyone here is your senior. Your actions wouldcause others to assume that you are proud and aloof. Our Dao Sect disciples donot behave in this manner during missions.” replied Ying Huanhuan. The tone ofher voice coupled with her young lady-like appearance was quite comical.

Lin Dong felt quite helpless. Isn’t it clear you guys were deliberatelyignoring me? Why am I being criticized for being proud and aloof now…

“We can be considered as comrades for this mission. Since you are a newbie, wewill take good care of you. Don’t be nervous and just treat it as a trainingexercise. Since you left with all four limbs attached to your body, I will makesure that you will return without any pieces of meat missing,” replied YingHuanhuan with a grin.

Lin Dong rubbed his nose and could not resist but laugh. He had a slightlyfavourable impression of the young lady in front of him. Although she wassomewhat weird and bizarre, she was definitely not a bad person.

“Haha, junior brother Lin Dong, please relax. We will handle anything thathappens. Just use this trip to gain some experience,” said the two males fromEarth and Flood Hall, standing beside Ying Huanhuan while laughing merrily.However, there was a sensation of pride within their laughter.

Lin Dong gave a faint smile without showing his approval or disapproval.

“I’ve heard that you have successfully learnt the “Desolate Demon Eye” of theDesolate Hall?” asked Ying Huanhuan suddenly as she stared at Lin Dong. Aftershe asked this question, the pupils of the two males expanded for a while.Evidently, they had heard of the Desolate Demon Eye.

“I got lucky and was barely able to master it…” Lin Dong hesitated for amoment before he nodded his head and replied.

“Oh…”

Ying Huanhuan gave a slight nod, before a slight tinge fleeted across herbeautiful pupils. She could clearly remember the shocked expression on herelder sister’s face when she heard the news.

Ying Huanhuan did a lazy stretch, exposing her soft waist which showcased heralluring curve. After casually shooting a glance at Lin Dong, she said “Ireally couldn’t tell that you are quite talented. I will now withdraw myinitial appraisal that you are arrogant.” said Ying Huanhuan.

After hearing her words, Lin Dong instantly did not know whether to cry or tolaugh. Although Ying Huanhuan had taken back her words of him being arrogant,that still meant that her appraisal of him being extremely boastful was stillstuck to him.

“As for the other one, we will talk about it after you have comprehended theGreat Desolation Scripture.”

As if she knew what Lin Dong was thinking of, Ying Huanhuan’s soft and gentlevoice was transmitted over once again.

Looking at the charming cheeks of the young lady, Lin Dong gave a smile andreplied: “If my memory serves me right, I recalled you saying that if Iunderstood the Great Desolation Scripture, you will fulfil one of my requests,right?”

Ying Huanhuan gawked for a moment before a crimson shade appeared on hercheeks. She proceeded to bite her lip and maliciously shot a look at Lin Dongbefore twisting her body away.

“I am only afraid that you don’t have the ability to fulfil this criterion!”

Staring at the form of the young lady, who was slightly outraged, Lin Donggave a faint smile.It seems like this mission would not be so boring as he hadthought…
