Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Dangerous Mission

And Yu Ye, you just nodded to her. This gesture of yours seemed to please Xing Kong greatly, as he shot you a grateful look.

You smiled back, replying with a look that said, "No big deal. I wouldn’t lay a finger on the woman you like."

With that look from you, Xing Kong was even more spirited. If it hadn’t been for the presence of others, he surely would have hugged you and planted a solid kiss on your face, exclaiming, "Brother, you truly understand me!"

"I have a mission here. After you three complete this mission, I’ll directly award you with Level 2 Badges."

"Wow, directly issuing Level 2 Badges means this mission must be really dangerous."

"What’s there to fear? Didn’t you hear just now? Those two have already reached Level 5 Standard. I presume the ability of the other won’t be too far off."

The Deputy Camp Commander’s words stirred a buzz among the crowd. Xing Kong took initiative and said, "We’ll take on this mission!"

"Take this token to the Moyun Village in the southern part of Gordon City to find the village chief. He is the one who assigned this mission, and he will inform you of the mission’s details," the Deputy Camp Commander handed a cloud-shaped stone to Yu Ye on her right.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s set out immediately."

Xing Kong was always impatient, not willing to linger even for a moment.

Yu Ye remained silent, while you seemed indifferent. Although feeling a bit tired from the journey, you too were eager to earn the Level 2 Badge swiftly.

The three of you were in perfect agreement. You bid farewell to Iron Hand and strode alongside Xing Kong, while Yu Ye, taking quicker steps, marched ahead of you both.

After you left, the Deputy Camp Commander dismissed the crowd and brought Iron Hand into the hall, inquiring, "What do you think of Mu Yun’s abilities, and why do the higher-ups value him so dearly?"

Iron Hand pondered for a moment, glanced around, and spoke in a deep voice, "Judging by his aura alone, his strength has already reached above Level 8!"

"What!?" The Deputy Camp Commander exclaimed in shock, "Are you, are you sure you’re not mistaken?"

"Hmm! Earlier, he demonstrated immense Qi Force against a Boar Man for the sake of a Fox Woman, and his mere aura was strong enough to seal off all my Qi Force. I had difficulty even breathing and couldn’t muster any will to resist."

"Moreover..."

"Moreover what?" The Deputy Camp Commander’s face grew stern.

"His aura felt familiar to me. At first, I couldn’t pin it down, but then it dawned on me—it closely resembles that of our Commander."

With these words, the Deputy Camp Commander’s reaction was more than just shock; she immediately instructed Iron Hand, "Make sure you don’t let this information slip. Otherwise, the other races will surely target him."

"I understand."

"Should I have someone secretly watch over them?"

"I suggest you don’t."

After a moment of contemplation, the Deputy Camp Commander gave a grave nod, "Alright then. You may go and rest."

"Yes."

"Hey, Mu Yun, what do you think the village chief of Moyun Village will have us do?"

"I’m not sure either, but as the Deputy Camp Commander said, this mission is likely not simple. Mere guesswork will get us nowhere; we’ll find out once we arrive at Moyun Village," you said with a smile.

The three of you had already left Gordon City. Yu Ye walked alone ahead, while you and Xing Kong had become fast friends who could talk about anything and everything.

Your conversation flowed extremely well, and you shared very similar views on many things, almost to the point of becoming sworn brothers.

"Hey, what do you think of my Little Ye?" In a moment of idle chatter, Xing Kong leered at Yu Ye’s graceful figure.

"Lithe and elegant, vibrant and refined, with a delicate beauty. I bet her face is equally stunning; you’re a lucky guy," you complimented.

"Heh, that I am, that I am. My Little Ye is..." Xing Kong was in the midst of boasting when suddenly, a sharp killing intent appeared. Yu Ye had stopped walking, already brandishing a coldly gleaming dagger. Seeing this, Xing Kong hastily changed the subject, pointing towards the somewhat gloomy sky and coughed, "Ahem, well, the weather today isn’t half bad."

Before setting out, you, Xing Kong, and Yu Ye went on a shopping spree in Gordon City.

"Guest, that outfit fits you perfectly."

"Hmm, it’s not bad."

You approached a mirror, and upon seeing the reflection, you couldn’t help but jump in surprise.

This was the first time you had looked into a mirror since body-swapping with Lei Xiu by River Zimu.

Although the person in the mirror didn’t exactly match your original body, there was a certain resemblance. Meanwhile, in Li Yun’s memory, you also recognized the true owner of this body.

"Yun... Yun Xiao."

Yun Xiao was a Division Commander in the City Guard Army of the Qinglan Imperial Nation’s Imperial Royal City, and one of the "Four Heroes" adored by countless young ladies in the Imperial City.

You had met him once before, but you never imagined Lei Xiaochen would kill him for his son, allowing Lei Xiu to take over Yun Xiao’s body.

Indeed, there was no talk of morality in this world; strength was everything.

"Customer, are you alright?" Noticing your bewildered expression, the shopkeeper asked cautiously.

"Hmm." You flashed a smile at your reflection and knew that this would be your appearance for some time to come. "Boss, how much do I owe?"

"Thank you for your patronage, that will be Two taels of gold."

The shopkeeper’s wrinkled face was creased with a smile. You paid the amount and left. Next to the clothing store was a blacksmith shop,

"Hey, you’re here to buy weapons too?" As soon as you entered the blacksmith shop, Xing Kong, who had sharp eyes, spotted you, "Wow, you look even more handsome in clean clothes."

"Well, can’t get much handsomer than this," you said with a radiant smile, then walked over to examine a row of longswords carefully,

"Hey, but no matter how handsome you are, it’s useless. My Little Ye isn’t moved by good looks at all, she..." Xing Kong stopped mid-sentence when he felt a chilling sensation on his neck, as Yu Ye’s dagger was once again timely placed across it, "Ahem, Little Ye, can you please put down the knife first?"

"Another word from you, and next time I’ll drain your blood!" Yu Ye said fiercely.

"Yes, yes, surely our close relationship shouldn’t be known to others." Yu Ye hurriedly placated her with a sheepish smile.

"We already know that," a man picking out weapons nearby chimed in.

"This... heh, I’ll keep quiet from now on." Yu Ye gave Xing Kong a sharp look and continued to browse the array of weapons.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a new version of this knife? This one is already rusty," you asked while holding a long, straight knife with a hefty back and a fine blade, showing signs of rust, in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at the weapon in your hand a few times and apologized, "Dear customer, I am really sorry; this imitation Wild Wind Blade wasn’t made by our shop. It was left behind by an old mercenary a long time ago."
