Chapter 100: Do Not Disappoint Me
Wow…
As soon as Xiao Ruoshui finished speaking, the whole Martial Arts Arena erupted in shock. Everyone’s expressions changed, especially Xiao Liufeng, who widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruoshui, doubting whether he had heard her correctly.
"Miss, you are sending Yun Yi to his death! Pan Hong has the strength of an eighth grade of the Innate Realm expert, and dark magic is tricky. How could Yun Yi possibly be a match for him? Sending him to kill Pan Hong is the same as sending him to die!"
Xiao Liufeng said angrily.
"Yes, sending Yun Yi alone to kill Pan Hong is actually sending him to his doom. The young lady must know this."
"I have heard that Jade Wheel City is not peaceful, but I didn’t expect it to be Pan Hong. It is said that he was once a disciple of the Yanwu family. Besides his own great strength, Pan Hong has many skilled allies. Looking at the situation now, there surely will be dark forces involved, and Yun Yi cannot possibly complete this task."
"I don’t think the young lady wants Yun Yi to go to his death. Think about it, given today’s situation, the young lady must be fair. But she values Yun Yi’s talent, so she wouldn’t want to ruin him or kick him out of the family. That’s why she came up with this plan. One reason is to punish Yun Yi and calm Yuan Zhongshan, and the other is to test Yun Yi, though this test is quite difficult."
…
The whole Martial Arts Arena became lively; no one expected this punishment proposed by Xiao Ruoshui.
Yun Yi didn’t speak, but from the reactions of those around him and Xiao Liufeng’s words, he could tell how dangerous this task was and how tough Pan Hong would be to deal with.
"Elder Xiao, this is the task I assigned to Yun Yi; he can choose not to accept it."
Xiao Ruoshui spoke up and then looked at Yun Yi, "Yun Yi, I can give you a chance. If you accept, you must complete it, representing the Yanwu family. You could die in battle, but you cannot back down. If you are too afraid to accept, I will give you another punishment. The choice is yours."
Hearing this, Yun Yi couldn’t help but smile. This woman was trying to provoke him. Looking at Xiao Ruoshui, if he didn’t agree, she would immediately look down on him, and the next punishment would likely be worse.
"Alright, I agree."
Just when everyone thought Yun Yi would refuse, he unexpectedly agreed.
This caused a huge stir in the entire Martial Arts Arena.
A useless second-level disciple, violently beating an elder, challenging the second-level area, and now daring to go to Jade Wheel City to kill Pan Hong—what else is there in this world that he wouldn’t dare to do?
People really didn’t know where Yun Yi found his confidence; this is typically a sign of a troubled mind.
"Yun Yi, you need to think carefully; this mission is very dangerous."
Xiao Liufeng reminded him with a serious expression.
"Isn’t there still one life left out of nine?"
Yun Yi shrugged, looking completely relaxed.
When Yun Yi does things, he never acts on impulse. This mission given by Xiao Ruoshui is actually helping him; others might not notice this, but Yun Yi can see it.
His spiritual perception is sharp; from Xiao Ruoshui’s gaze, he could tell that she didn’t really want to punish him, but needed to give Yuan Zhongshan an explanation. This mission is also a test for herself.
Yun Yi accepts the task because he is not afraid. He actually enjoys challenges. If a task is too easy, Yun Yi loses interest.
To defeat the evil creatures of the eighth grade of the Innate Realm is much less dangerous than when Yun Yi faced the black dragon at Grand Dragon Cliff in the Open Spirit Realm.
If Yun Yi is not afraid of the black dragon, why would he be afraid of a mere Pan Hong?
The eighth grade of the Innate Realm is certainly not a match for Yun Yi at his current strength. However, with effort, those who practice dark arts will be restrained by both Yun Yi’s dark power and Red Lotus Karma Fire, preventing them from showing their full strength. In other words, Yun Yi also has his own advantages when facing Pan Hong.
More importantly, Yun Yi needs to give Xiao Ruoshui a chance to save face. The situation today is not in his favor, so Xiao Ruoshui must punish him.
"You kid, you really have guts and courage. I must say, that’s really to my liking. I hope you don’t die in Jade Wheel City."
Xiao Liufeng gritted his teeth and spoke, clearly impressed that Yun Yi dared to take on such a task. Although Xiao Liufeng does not want Yun Yi to take risks, if Yun Yi publicly refuses and admits he is scared, Xiao Liufeng would be deeply disappointed.
"Elder Yuan, are you satisfied with this punishment for Yun Yi?"
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Yuan Zhongshan.
"Miss, what if Yun Yi cannot complete the task? Or, what if he is afraid and hides away and does not go to Jade Wheel City at all?"
Yuan Zhongshan said.
Xiao Ruoshui did not speak; she looked at Yun Yi, allowing him to answer this question himself.
"Elder Yuan, you don’t need to say such pointless things to shame me. Since I, Yun Yi, have promised, I will definitely complete the task. On the night of the full moon, I will bring back Pan Hong’s head. If I fail, you may do with me as you wish, Miss."
Yun Yi said, full of boldness.
"Good, I will wait for you to complete the task."
Yuan Zhongshan waved his big sleeve and turned to pick up Yuan Hui, ready to leave.
Yuan Zhongshan did not want to continue the argument. He needed to save face for Xiao Ruoshui, and with Xiao Liufeng present, it was impossible to bring down Yun Yi today.
If he had to settle for less, Yuan Zhongshan was quite satisfied with Xiao Ruoshui’s punishment. Yun Yi was young and reckless, unaware of Pan Hong’s terror, but Yuan Zhongshan knew it very well.
Yuan Zhongshan concluded that as long as Yun Yi went to kill Pan Hong, he would definitely be killed by Pan Hong, which could be seen as taking revenge for Yuan Hui.
"Since there are no objections, this decision stands. However, I must say beforehand that during Yun Yi’s mission, no one in the family is allowed to interfere, and no one is allowed to help. If anyone breaks this rule, do not blame Xiao Ruoshui for being harsh."
Xiao Ruoshui’s presence became strong, and she spoke with authority.
Everyone could tell that Xiao Ruoshui was intentionally speaking to Yuan Zhongshan, mainly worried that Yuan Zhongshan might secretly act against Yun Yi during his journey to Jade Wheel City.
Yuan Zhongshan remained silent and flew away with Yuan Hui.
"Yun Yi, your journey to Jade Wheel City will take four days. You can manage your own time, but you must arrive in Jade Wheel City by the night of the full moon. Your task is not only to kill Pan Hong but also to rescue the captured girls."
Xiao Ruoshui spoke, then turned to leave. In that moment, a Divine Sense was sent to Yun Yi’s ear, "Jade Wheel City is an important city under the jurisdiction of the Yanwu family. I am trusting you with its safety. I hope you will not disappoint me. Also, return alive to see me."
