Inner Court Mission Pavilion.
Just like when Leng Yun came last time, the place was packed with people. Everyone was jostling in the hall, looking for a suitable task to earn some extra money.
This time, Leng Yun didn't look anywhere else and went straight to the counter.
It was still Elder Feng.
The last time Leng Yun wanted a gold-level mission, Elder Feng told him that he had to be among the top five on the boxing champion list to accept such a high-level mission.
Now, when Leng Yun stands before Elder Feng again, you are already fifth on the Inner Court Boxing King Ranking.
Such a change was almost unbelievable, even to the well-informed Elder Feng.
"You've arrived?" Elder Feng said kindly.
Leng Yun nodded: "Elder Feng, I'm here to accept the gold-level mission."
Elder Feng nodded: "Yes, it's truly unexpected that you've actually become one of the top five in the boxing rankings in such a short time. You're the first one like this in all these years."
After saying that, Elder Feng stood up shakily and took out a golden plaque from behind him.
"You need to think this through. Investigating the Rubik's Cube Field is an extremely dangerous task. Even if you are number one on the boxing leaderboard, you could still lose your life," Elder Feng warned.
Leng Yun nodded: "I know."
"First, pay 100 Fist God Points. If you complete the mission, you will receive a reward of 1000 Fist God Points," Elder Feng said.
Leng Yun was speechless. He hadn't expected this golden mission to be so valuable. Most people probably wouldn't even have the financial resources to take on such a mission.
Fortunately, Leng Yun is the leader of the Yun Gang. 100 Fist God Points might be an astronomical number for others, but for him it's just a drop in the ocean.
Leng Yun took out his Crystal Fist God Card and was about to hand it to Elder Feng.
"Isn't this Junior Brother Leng Yun? Here to take on a mission too?" A clear voice rang out from behind.
Leng Yun turned around and found that it was actually Gongzi Jian Zhou Si.
The appearance of Zhou Si, the number one on the boxing leaderboard, immediately caused a stir among the crowd, and everyone's attention was now focused on the two of them.
Zhou Si, with a smile still on her face, slowly walked up to Leng Yun.
"So it's Senior Brother Zhou Si," Leng Yun said indifferently, showing no particular interest in Zhou Si.
Everyone lowered their voices and whispered and laughed among themselves.
Everyone in the inner courtyard already knew about Zhou Si's feelings for Murong Qin, and what they knew even better was that Murong Qin always stayed by Leng Yun's side.
Nowadays, in the hearts of these inner court disciples, Leng Yun and Zhou Si are like two formidable rivals in love, and many people hope that they can have a battle.
However, Zhou Si was clearly no ordinary person. He simply smiled at Leng Yun and then walked to the front of the stage.
"Elder Feng, I want to accept the gold-level quest."
Elder Feng didn't say much, but brought out two golden mission cards, giving one to Zhou Si and the other to Leng Yun.
"So Junior Brother Leng Yun is also going to the Rubik's Cube Arena to investigate?" Zhou Si asked with a smile.
Leng Yun nodded.
“We are too. How about we form a group and go together?” Zhou Si asked.
Everyone looked at Leng Yun.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Si extended an invitation to Leng Yun.
Leng Yun remained silent for a moment, her expression calm, seemingly not regarding the invitation as an honor.
"Forget it, let's just go our separate ways," Leng Yun said indifferently.
Everyone was speechless. They were even more surprised that someone who was only fifth on the boxing leaderboard would refuse the invitation from the number one boxing leader.
This 'Fire Prince' is indeed no ordinary person.
Zhou Si showed no anger whatsoever, still wearing a kind smile: "Alright, since Junior Brother Leng Yun prefers to act alone, then I won't force him."
After saying that, Zhou Si turned around and left the mission pavilion amidst the envious gazes of everyone.
Afterwards, Leng Yun also left, leaving behind only a group of whispering inner court disciples.
……
The events that occurred in the Mission Pavilion quickly spread throughout the entire inner courtyard.
While everyone was surprised that Zhou Si had extended an invitation to Leng Yun, they all thought that Leng Yun was being ungrateful.
It was later discovered that Zhou Si's team also included Chen Bing, who was ranked second on the boxing leaderboard, and Zhang Yu, who was ranked fourth.
If Leng Yun accepts Zhou Si's invitation, then this team, apart from Mi Tian, will have gathered all the top five masters on the boxing champion list.
With such a lineup, who would dare to stand against them on a mission?
While everyone else was saying that Leng Yun had missed a good opportunity, Leng Yun sat in the room with a bitter smile on her face.
"I'm going, what's it to you?" Murong Qin stood beside him, looking like she couldn't argue with him.
It turns out that Murong Qin insisted on going on the mission with Leng Yun after hearing that Leng Yun was going to the Rubik's Cube Arena.
However, Leng Yun knew the danger of this mission, and he also had important responsibilities to fulfill, so he naturally did not want to take Murong Qin with him.
However, Leng Yun had no way of ordering Murong Qin around.
That's why he sat there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Beside Leng Yun, Zheng Guo, Pu Feng, and the others were secretly covering their mouths and laughing.
Leng Yun originally planned to go alone, leaving all the affairs of the Yun Gang to Zheng Guo.
Because the journey to the Rubik's Cube field was long and he didn't know how long it would take to return, he made many preparations.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Since Miss Murong wants to go, then Chief, you should take her with you," Zheng Guo said with a smile.
Before Leng Yun could speak, Murong Qin interjected, "It's settled then, see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Murong Qin turned and left, her curly hair bobbing playfully on her forehead.
"Hey, why did you make the decision for me?" Leng Yun said to Zheng Guo regretfully as she watched Murong Qin's figure leave.
Zheng Guo smiled and said, "This is just a delaying tactic. As long as the leader sets off half an hour earlier tomorrow, there will be no problem."
Leng Yun was taken aback, not expecting Zheng Guo, who seemed like a good person, to be so cunning: "But since I've already promised Miss Murong, how can I—"
Before he could finish speaking, Leng Yun realized what was happening.
When it comes to cunning, Leng Yun is no pushover either. He gave Zheng Guo a meaningful look.
“I never promised Murong Qin anything. You were the one who promised. He’ll come looking for you after I leave tomorrow,” Leng Yun said softly.
Zheng Guo laughed heartily: "Don't worry, Chief, I will definitely take good care of the Yun Gang and Miss Murong."
Leng Yun nodded in satisfaction.
……
The next morning, Leng Yun indeed secretly left the Yun Gang as planned, proceeding cautiously along the way. Fortunately, Murong Qin did not follow.
"Sigh, I'll just buy her some nice things to make it up to her when I get back," Leng Yun comforted herself.
Within minutes, he arrived at the entrance to the inner courtyard, where two flying beast carriages were waiting.
One car was for Leng Yun, and the other was for Zhou Si and the others.
Although there were two cars, they had the same destination...
