Li Mo couldn't help but feel confused.
Given Ice Cube's personality, would she actually ask someone for help?
Ying Bing sat down at the stone table, habitually pouring tea, her serene face showing a hint of confusion.
She cleared her throat:
"Come closer and listen."
Li Mo: "..."
Why did it feel so strange?
Asking for my help felt like a leader giving instructions.
Who knew how Ice Cube cultivated this aura of a superior? Well... one could only say it was the extraordinary nature that came with being a destined child.
"What's so important that it requires such formality?"
"You don't usually worry about many things."
Li Mo sat opposite her, casually picking up a teacup and taking a sip.
He didn't even notice.
He was using the same cup that Ice Cube had just drunk from.
"The Sect mission you accepted, will you be going to Ziyang Prefecture City?"
Ying Bing's eyes flickered slightly, as if she hadn't seen it.
"I haven't accepted a mission yet."
"But I do plan to find missions within Ziyang Prefecture City to do."
Li Mo clasped his hands behind his head and smiled, saying:
"I haven't had a good look around since I arrived in Ziyang Prefecture; consider it me wanting to bend the rules a bit for personal reasons."
"This trip won't be very busy. If you have any miscellaneous matters, feel free to speak directly."
Doing the mission was secondary.
Sect contribution points were dispensable to him; accepting a simpler mission that could be completed was enough.
"I want you to help me find someone."
"She should be... a Little beggar now, I suppose."
Lost in thought, the frost on Ying Bing's face seemed to melt a little. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
She hadn't been able to join the Qingyuan Sect at that time.
She could only reside in an abandoned dwelling in Ziyang Prefecture City.
It was because of this that she met Jiang Chulong, who was also homeless.
In this life, she had opened her meridians and displayed her talent with Li Mo's help.
In her previous life, if not for helping each other with Jiang Chulong, she would not have been able to open her meridians.
She had now entered the Qingyuan Sect.
Without her, Jiang Chulong was alone, and she didn't know how she would face those difficult circumstances...
"I'd like to ask you to find her and arrange for her food, clothing, and lodging."
Hmm?
After hearing her words, Li Mo was stunned.
Ice Cube would actually worry about someone's food, clothing, and shelter?
Was this still the Ice Cube he knew?
Could it be one of her relatives?
Her original county had been struck by Disaster Beasts, so her relatives should have all perished.
Perhaps she had received news from somewhere, knowing that she still had a sole relative who had drifted to Ziyang Prefecture City?
That would make sense.
Xiao Li naturally thought of this.
So he also said seriously:
"Don't worry, although Ziyang Prefecture City is not small, finding someone is still not difficult."
"If you remember the person's appearance and features, you might as well draw them."
As he spoke, he took out a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
He was more than willing to help Ice Cube; as long as it involved Ice Cube, the System's feedback had never been bad.
Besides, for something like finding a relative, even without remuneration, he was happy to help.
"Drawing..."
Ying Bing calmly took the brush.
Half an hour later.
Xiao Li looked at the 'masterpiece' on the table with a solemn expression.
"Ying Bing."
"Hmm?"
"I mean, does anyone really look like this?"
Looking at the portrait, which could be called a masterpiece of abstract art, Li Mo asked.
I'm just saying.
If you want me to find someone, can the portrait be realistic?
You're doing abstract art; if I hadn't seen a few Picasso paintings in my previous life, I wouldn't even recognize this as a person.
"The features are very distinct."
"A female, very large eyes, very small lips."
Ying Bing's beautiful eyes turned elsewhere.
Li Mo: "...Does she have any more direct characteristics?"
Ying Bing seemed to be recalling, and after a while, she said:
"Yes."
"She has a very terrifying scar on her chest, speaks with a slight stutter, and... if her face is washed clean, she's very beautiful."
"Uh... how beautiful?"
"Compared to me, each has its own merits."
"...That's true."
...
Without further ado.
Finally, Xiao Li managed to summarize some concrete information.
No time like the present.
He didn't procrastinate and prepared to set off that very day.
Before leaving, he left several days' worth of wine for Master, asking Ying Bing to supply it regularly.
After doing all this, he went to Shenbing Peak.
...
Afternoon.
A rather grand carriage drove down the mountain.
Incense was burning inside the carriage, and tea swirled in the bowl, not spilling a drop.
"Brother Li, why did you accept a mission to apprehend a notorious bandit?"
Murong Xiao examined the portrait spread out on the table.
This portrait, drawn by the Foreign Affairs Hall, was also quite blurry.
After all, there were no photographs in this era.
If one couldn't draw from a live model, one could only rely on verbal descriptions from others, and sometimes even different people describing the same person would result in discrepancies.
"I needed to find someone anyway, so I just took it as a side task."
Li Mo said casually.
The notorious bandit Cui Peng, of the Inner Breath Condensation Realm, was severely wounded ten days ago by an outer Disciple elder.
He was proficient in body tempering, skilled in blade techniques, and had dozens of blood debts on his hands.
For other Qi Blood Realm Disciples, Cui Peng, even injured, was a difficult opponent to deal with.
But for Li Mo...
He was a good practical combat opponent, nothing more.
He hadn't truly fought anyone with real weapons yet...
"Since Brother Li has accepted the mission, even if I have to dig three feet deep in Ziyang Prefecture City, I will definitely find this person."
Murong Xiao said with a smile, rubbing the back of his head.
Li Mo chuckled.
Why did it feel like Murong had become a little more honest after learning the Golden Bell Shield?
"By the way, Brother Li, besides Cui Peng, who else are you looking for?"
"It's a Little beggar..."
In the carriage, Murong Xiao held a brush, diligently noting down every word Li Mo said, appearing extremely attentive.
He planned to go home and directly ask his grandfather for help.
In terms of information, the Murong family was quite well-informed, which Li Mo trusted.
Unbeknownst to them.
The carriage entered Fu City, directly entering the Inner City, where the buildings were much more luxurious than in the Outer City.
"Murong."
Li Mo looked up and saw the gilded plaque; Murong was quite grand even within the Inner City.
"Young Master, Young Master Li."
The butler had clearly known in advance, greeting them with a smiling face.
"Please, Brother Li, make yourself at home."
Murong Xiao relaxed ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ once he returned home.
Walking through the gallery and garden, Li Mo observed with great interest.
This seemed much larger than his old family residence, and it had more of the feel of a prominent household, very meticulously designed.
"Xiao'er."
Upon entering the main hall, they saw two elderly men sitting at a large table filled with delicacies, drinking tea. The one dressed in a dark red brocade robe waved to Murong Xiao. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The other purple-robed elder, with half-black, half-white hair, fixed his gaze on Li Mo.
Then, he looked at the long sword at his waist.
"This must be Li Zhenchuan."
"Indeed, a talented young man, a hero in his youth."
The elder in the dark red brocade robe rose with a chuckle to greet him:
"Just now, the Fu Lord and I were drinking tea. When we learned that Li Zhenchuan was coming, he insisted on staying here and drank quite a bit of my Yunwu Mei tea."
