Chapter 83: Urgent Mission
After successfully pushing the burden of the cultivation-method training onto someone else, the sect masters and elders found themselves falling straight into another pit—the daily exams.
Yun Jiao had always been a woman of swift action. If she said she was opening a second training course, she’d send the price list to Tianshi Hall the very next day. If she said she’d change the quizzes from every three days to every single day, she’d prepare a full set of test papers that very night.
But in the end, she didn’t manage to distribute that test paper—because the sect masters and elders, the supposed pillars of their respective sects, became desperate. Or rather, they “pooled their wisdom” and came up with an excuse she couldn’t refuse.
“An urgent mission?” Yun Jiao blinked in confusion.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Hall Master Xu nodded vigorously, even though she couldn’t see him through the talisman. “Fellow Daoist Yun, it’s been some time since your registration in the Hall’s official records. Every promoted Heavenly Master must complete a certain number of commissioned tasks each year. This is one of them.”
“Do I have to be the one to go?” she asked skeptically. There were quite a few Heavenly Masters in Tianshi Hall with higher ranks than hers. “What about the training course?” She hadn’t even started preparing her new teaching materials.
“No rush, no rush!” Xu waved his hands frantically. “The sect masters and elders will quickly select the new disciples for the course. And the upgraded version of your transmission-group talismans—we’ll handle the distribution.”
“You’re sure I’m the only one who can go?” Yun Jiao’s tone dropped with doubt.
“Heh… heh-heh…” Xu forced out a dry laugh, glancing nervously at the other elders behind him, all of whom looked equally uneasy. He could only keep bluffing: “I know you’re busy teaching us formations, but this commission is unlike the usual ones—it requires a Heavenly Master of at least five-flower rank. Unfortunately, due to some delays from earlier matters, all other qualified Heavenly Masters have already been dispatched elsewhere. That’s why we have no choice but to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Yun.”
