Encounter Taotie by chance at the beginning and practice longevity skills

As the sun gradually set, they began to make their way back to the academy.

"Hey, isn't that Lu Mengyun? Why is she so covered in mud and so disgraced?" the general said.

The three of them walked a few more steps and reached the area covered by Lei Ze's spiritual consciousness. Lei Ze also nodded: "I saw it too. A strong spiritual consciousness is good."

"But why am I still limping when I walk?"

The three of them walked forward again, and when they reached the range of Xianmeng's consciousness, Xianmeng said: "Let's go say hello, it looks quite pitiful."

As the sky gets darker, the outline of the mountains becomes particularly clear in the setting sun. Lei Ze, General, and Xianmeng gradually approached Lu Mengyun.

Lu Mengyun stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, her figure looking a little sad but tenacious.

Her clothes should have been a fresh cyan color, but now they were covered in mud, and the spots reflected her fatigue. The mud not only stained her clothes, but also climbed up her cheeks. The cracked mud marks after drying were like scars on the battlefield.

Her hair was messy, and a few strands were stuck together with sweat and mud, sticking to her forehead and cheeks, making it almost impossible to distinguish the original color.

Xianmeng walked over, patted Lu Mengyun, and said, "Why did it end up like this?"

When Xianmeng gently tapped Lu Mengyun on the shoulder, her body visibly trembled, apparently frightened by the sudden contact. She turned her head sharply, with a trace of vigilance and panic flashing in her eyes, like a cat in a corner, ready to use her magic to escape at any moment.

However, when she saw clearly that it was a fairy dream, her tight vigilance relaxed a little, and the panic in her eyes turned into a hint of surprise and confusion.

"It's you, why don't you make any sound when you walk?" Her voice was slightly trembling, making her look a little weak.

When she saw Lei Ze, she quickly knelt down again and was about to kowtow, but was helped up by Xian Meng.

Lei Ze didn't understand why she was like this and thought she was in trouble again.

Lu Mengyun said: "Young master, you are really good people. I originally thought it would be difficult to get from the academy to the mortal city, but I didn't expect these mountains to be so dangerous. You even passed through these mountains for my request. He’s really a good person.”

Lei Ze waved his hand and said, "Oh, that's all in the past. That's it. By the way, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Mengyun said: "I took a mission and said I wanted to find a bracelet. It was green. Originally, I ran away to the ground when I met the monster in the forest. Since I can't use my consciousness to see clearly what's on the ground, I I didn’t dare to move too much, I just moved a few feet and waited for the monster to leave before I came out.”

"But I didn't expect that there is a quagmire deep underground. Hey, I won't talk about it..."

Xianmeng was curious: "But doesn't the academy have regulations? New disciples don't have to do tasks in the first year after joining the academy."

Lu Mengyun chuckled: "Because I carried Brother Li Fang's debt to me, Zhou Kai said that as long as I pay it off within 5 years, there will be no interest."

"For five years, I only need to earn 17 spiritual stones every month, which is enough to pay back."

Lei Ze was shocked on the spot after listening to her shocking speech.

"you you..."

This was the first time Xianmeng saw Lei Ze stuttering. She asked for Lei Ze: "You should not do this. Zhou Kai should not force this on you."

Lu Mengyun smiled slightly: "Of course not, this is of my own free will."

After hearing this, Lei Ze took a breath and asked, "Why."

Lu Mengyun's face was full of doubts. She said: "Why? Why does everyone ask me why when they heard that I made this decision?"

“Isn’t it natural to pay back debts?”

"Brother Li Fang and I have already slept together. His debts belong to me. Besides, I want Brother Li Fang to have no worries when he comes back and can practice in peace."

Lei Ze nodded, not knowing what to say.

The general said: "Green bracelet, I also picked up one before. Have you found the bracelet for your mission?"

Lu Mengyun shook her head: "I basically searched everywhere I could, but my leg also fell a bit. I was about to give up. Hey, I didn't want to give up, but my leg probably won't be able to take on the mission for a while. ”

The general took out the green bracelet from the storage ring and said, "I picked one up too, and you see it says "王" on it."

As soon as Lu Mengyun saw the green bracelet in the general's hand, Lu Mengyun's eyes immediately lit up. She observed carefully, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief. She said excitedly:

"This...this is really the bracelet I'm looking for! The word 'king' on it is exactly the same as in the mission description!"

After hearing this, the general gave the bracelet to Lu Mengyun, but Lu Mengyun refused.

"I didn't find this, how could you give it to me? When the time comes, I will give up this mission and you can just take it. You can also take the mission of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Xianmeng said: "But you are not without your contribution. If you didn't tell us, Shangguan Jun would have played with this thing. She also said it was the Immortal King's bracelet."

When the general heard this, he had an arrogant and embarrassed expression on his face. She bit her lower lip gently and murmured in a low voice: "Who said this is the bracelet of the Immortal King? It was obviously you who said it."

Xianmeng smiled: "I said it, I said it, let's do this, Lu Mengyun, we can each be paid half."

Lu Mengyun still declined: "How can this be done? You think it took the three of you to find it, no, no, no."

The general also advised: "Really, this is nothing to us. Besides, it is reasonable for each of us to take half."

But Lu Mengyun said righteously: "No, no, it belongs to whomever it belongs to. If you stay here like this, I won't know you."

When Lei Ze saw Xianmeng and the general wanted to talk more, Lei Ze stopped them and said, "Hey, let's do it. Let's go, we have to go back too, let's go together. By the way, you didn't have time to drink tea last time, so now I need to have some tea this time.”

Lu Mengyun smiled and said: "Okay, let's go and hand in the mission first."

Xianmeng supported Lu Mengyun and followed Lei Ze and the general, and the four of them slowly walked towards the academy.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, lengthening the shadows of the four people and reflecting them on the soft dirt path, like the silhouettes of a line of warriors.
