Next day early morning Shen Xiao arrived in the court yard only to be stopped by Tang Mei.
"Where are you going?" she asked
"Mission hall" he replied
"Lets go, i was also planning to visit there and here are your two pills. My mother concocted yesterday and she was very surprised that you could find that flower and two on that." she said
"Is Feng Xue not coming" he asked
"No, you know she doesn't have to go on mission. She can earn enough credits with alchemy and she already left for alchemy pavilion." She said
"Well its good, she has great potention if she follows dao of alchemy." we talked with each other as we were on our way to mission hall.
After 15 minutes they finally arrived at the mission hall. It was large building and there were thousands of disciples coming and going from the mission hall.
They joined at the back of the line to wait for our turn. Although Tang Mei's mother has high status in the sect but she can't use for her own benefit. It is a good practice because if we do that our dao-heart doesn't remain firm. We should depend on ourselves to walk our own path.
They were watching the list of the missions available for outer court disciples. There were some easy missions such as searching for herbs or hunting low tier beast or investigating about bandits and gathering information.
He looked at the missions related to investigation."Do you like any mission?" she asked
He pointed at one "People are going missing in near the Silvermoon City from last three months. Almost 85 people have been gone missing. This mission is just to investigate and gather information but if there is any danger we are to send report immediately and return back." he said
"It is 3 days travell from here, most people are non-cultivators. It will take us few days to reach there. If you want to take this mission, I will go with you or better we should go at least 4 or 5 people in our group.
Since it is our first mission, we should take it safe and gather some experience." she said
"Alright, we will go in group." he said and after that she finalised details with elder at the hall we left the for courtyard because we needed to select the team to go.
Just as they left the Xuantian plaza where these different halls or shops are located, some one bumped a shoulder with Shen Xiao with force while i was busy talking with Mei.
Shen Xiao knew it was intentional because of the force behind his push. He looked up see a familiar face. Shen Xiao reconized him as Chang Li. He could sense the laters malicious intent and he was not trying to hide it all.
Chang Li looked at Tang Mei and said "Sister Mei how about you join me for a mission, Although we are from different factions but we can divide credits accordingly."
"Sorry, we have already selected a mission and i am leading my team." she said
"What are you worried about these weaklings. Everyone know that faction leaders get benifits even their faction lags behind. Me and Qi Yun have decided to join for a mission so that we could complete difficult missions.
Think about it, you could join us and leave this dirt bag here" he said again
"What an idiot."Shen xiao muttered no one heard other than Mei, she almost laughed
"No, thank you." Tang mei said as she was also getting irritated with them.
Just as Chang Li wanted to continue Shen Xiao spoke "Why are you so desperate, she clearly doesn't want to join and keeping her distance from you. So why can't keep your face in other direction."
Although he wanted Mei to handle but he insulted him so Shen Xiao couldn't let this go easily.
"Who told you interupt?" he shouted
"Oh Mei told me, as she was getting irritated by your presence and as her friend and subordinate it is my responsibility." he replied with a straight face.
His answer and the way Xiao called her name made his anger rise but before Chang Li could speak again Shen Xiao spoke "Am i right Mei?"
She just looked at me and said nothing. Chang Li was practically boiling because now everyone was looking in their direction.
"Look she doesn't even want to see your face and she is looking at my handsome appearance." he said again and some people also laughed at that even Mei laughed at him.
Chang Li couldn't take it anymore and he directly punched at Shen Xiao surprising everyone. Shen Xiao was ready for his attack because he was always alert in these situations.
It wasn't difficult for him dodge the straight punch but it made Chang Li fall because he lost his balance Shen Xiao shouted to the nearby law enforcement members "hey. this guy attacted me in no voilence zone."
Although it was trivial method but they still have take an action and Chang Li will have to pay fine for that. "What are you crying, fight if you have guts son of bitch?"
His this sentence was enough to anger Shen Xiao and he immediately released his pressure and killing intent at him which made him shudder because Chang Li always grew up in best environments and never killed anyone.
Just as Shen Xiao was about to punch him Tang Mei held his hand "Please stop, don't fight here."
He rectracted his killing intent and said to fallen boy "If you are so eagar to fight then lets fight to death. If you have guts then challenge me anytime if not then don't play games with me next time or i will definetly fight to death. You have already done a grave mistake." after making his statement he left the place with Mei following him
Chang Li was commpletly subdued by his killing intent and he wasn't going to fight to death with him anytime.
