"The mission to eliminate the evil cultivator?" Su Shi'er was taken aback.
In the Cloud Song Sect, anyone who carries a mission token and a token of proof can submit the task and receive a reward.
Xiao Yue smiled sweetly and said, "Since you killed Master White Bone, this mission should be credited to you."
"Sister, we're fellow disciples and friends, there's no need for this between us!" Su Shi'er quickly shook his head in refusal.
The task of eliminating the evil cultivator was worth a hundred sect contribution points.
Su Shi'er was somewhat tempted; if it were a fellow disciple he wasn't close to, he would have accepted it.
But Xiao Yue had always taken good care of him, so from the start, he hadn't expected any reward!
Xiao Yue's eyes sparkled with a smile as she continued, "Since you mentioned friendship, then you should definitely accept this!"
"The Five Element Spirit Beads are very important to you, and you're surely eager to exchange them. Consider the contribution points from this mission as my sponsorship or a loan to you."
"Isn't it natural for friends to help each other?"
As she finished speaking, Xiao Yue tilted her head, blinking her bright eyes, her smile as radiant as a flower.
"Alright, in that case, I'll accept it."
Su Shi'er was somewhat entranced, as Xiao Yue's beauty was entirely different from Shen Miaoyin's.
Shen Miaoyin was cold, noble, and mysterious, while Xiao Yue was like a kind and warm-hearted girl next door, making people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze.
Nodding, Su Shi'er didn't insist on refusing.
Well, he thought, he could make it up to her in other ways in the future.
With that in mind, he accepted the mission token.
After some thought, he smiled and said, "Sister, now that the mission is over, I'm planning to return to the sect. Why don't we travel together? It'll be good to have someone to look out for each other on the way."
"Yes, I was thinking the same!" Xiao Yue nodded eagerly.
She had been planning to suggest the same to Su Shi'er.
The journey from Linnan City to the Cloud Song Sect was long, and her injuries hadn't fully healed, not to mention the severely injured and unconscious Han Yu.

Even if there weren't any ill-intentioned cultivators on the road, encountering some formidable demonic beasts would be quite challenging!
But with Su Shi'er accompanying her, the situation would be vastly different.
She had witnessed Su Shi'er's strength firsthand, and it was nothing short of astonishing.
However, there was a subtle difference between her suggesting it and Su Shi'er bringing it up first.
At this moment, she felt that Su Shi'er was truly considerate in everything he did, and her fondness for him grew even more.
"Zhu Hanwei, go into the city and find two carriages. At first light, we'll set off for the Cloud Song Sect."
Seeing Xiao Yue agree, Su Shi'er wasted no time and immediately instructed Zhu Hanwei.
After speaking, he turned his head, intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the highest pavilion of the Lin Mansion.
Inside the pavilion, a graceful figure was gazing at him with grateful eyes.
Lin Qiao'er had been chosen by Master White Bone as a disciple in name, but in reality, she was selected as a furnace.
Even though she didn't understand cultivation, she knew the other party had ill intentions.
Now that Master White Bone was dead, she was finally free.
When her eyes met Su Shi'er's, she mouthed a silent expression of gratitude.
Su Shi'er didn't intend to say much to her, only confirming if there were any other potential dangers. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
The battle with Master White Bone had consumed a lot of his True Essence.
Zhu Hanwei, on the other hand, was energized and dashed out of the Lin Mansion.
The next morning, the group of four boarded the carriages and left the Lin Mansion, heading towards the Cloud Song Sect.
Su Shi'er and Xiao Yue shared a carriage!
However, Xiao Yue was injured, and having previously pushed the Astonishing Rainbow Sword to its limits, both her True Essence and energy were greatly depleted.
With Su Shi'er by her side, she finally felt completely at ease. As soon as she got into the carriage, she lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
In her sleep, Xiao Yue's face was peaceful, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a faint maiden's fragrance filled the carriage.
Su Shi'er turned his head slightly, unable to resist taking a few more glances.
At this time, he was just beginning to understand feelings, and he didn't have many thoughts, only finding her pleasant to look at, so he looked a few more times.
To him, being with Xiao Yue was entirely different from being with Shen Miaoyin in terms of mood and state.
After a few glances, he sat upright and took out the Sinister Wind Pearl.
The Sinister Wind Pearl was now dim, with less than a tenth of the black sand remaining inside.
"Corrosive Sand? From what Master White Bone said earlier, this Corrosive Sand seems to have quite a background."
"Unfortunately, the amount of Corrosive Sand is too little, and it decreases with each use. Judging by this, it might only be usable one more time before it's depleted."
Su Shi'er shook his head in distress, then looked at the Ice Shield, which now had a small finger-sized hole, but fortunately, the magical light was still intact, and despite the flaw, it was still usable.
Next, he took out Master White Bone's belongings and began to inventory them.
Master White Bone didn't have much on him, aside from six White Bone Swords and a White Bone Dagger, there was just a pile of ordinary first-grade materials.
His possessions were not even as abundant as Su Shi'er's.
"Alas! Who would have thought that Master White Bone was such a pauper! But then again, he was reborn through body possession, so any good items he had were probably taken by the Peak Lord of the Seventh Peak."
With a helpless sigh, Su Shi'er took out the White Bone Swords and the White Bone Dagger to examine them.
"These six White Bone Swords and the White Bone Dagger are quite extraordinary. Although the White Bone Swords are damaged, it's not a big problem; they can be restored with some nurturing using Spiritual Power!"
"Refining swords with bones is indeed evil, but this was Master White Bone's doing, not mine! And those wraiths in the bones perished with Master White Bone in the end, avenging themselves."
"I would never do such a thing, but using these ritual artifacts as a backup isn't an issue!"
With these thoughts, Su Shi'er calmly placed these evil aura-filled treasures into his storage ring.
For a cultivator, using evil aura artifacts could easily lead to misunderstandings and could also harm one's own mind.
But Su Shi'er didn't care about these things. To him, whether it was a treasure of pure yang or an evil cultivator's treasure, it didn't matter.
As long as it could enhance his strength, that was enough.
The Great Elder, although he hadn't taken any other actions, felt like a sword hanging over his head, making him feel very insecure.
Only by possessing great strength could he resolve crises and avenge his grandfather and the villagers.
Gritting his teeth, Su Shi'er's eyes were exceptionally determined.
Then he gently shook his head and put the rest of Master White Bone's materials into the storage bag.
Although these materials were ordinary, even a mosquito is meat.
"Huh... what's this?"
Just as he was about to withdraw his consciousness from the storage ring, he suddenly noticed a gray leaf among the pile of materials.
The leaf was no more than an inch long, with no trace of Spiritual Power. It looked dull and ordinary, like a mundane object.
