The sound of a pen 'skritching' across the paper in a hurry, was all that could be heard in Master Su's room.
Sitting at her desk writing, Master Su didn't look as tired as she felt; instead, she looked as beautiful as an ethereal and delicate as a fairy in her rich purple gown adorned with embroidered clouds.
Glancing at the pile of work stacked on her desk, Aura Su clenched her jaw, rolling her eyes in disdain.
With several of Drizzle Peak's masters off today, she was left to handle it all herself.
Master Su was well aware that the work was left to her on purpose. Did they really think she would surrender just because of the heavy workload? Never!
While Master Su was engrossed in the task at hand, Zen appeared in the doorway and saw the purple figure bent over the desk. He knocked on the door.
"Rap, rap, rap," the sound startled Master Su, and her head shot up. Zen's appearance was unexpected and she was caught off guard. Her face took on an unnatural hue briefly, and she quickly recovered and asked, "Hello Zen, what can I do for you?"
Stepping into the room, Zen replied, "Hello Master Su, I am here to claim some assignments."
"Assignments?" asked Master Su as she blinked. She smiled as she looked up at him. "Actually, you don't need to be so eager. The outer disciples will soon be given some pills, and that should be plenty for you to use to refine yourself."
Ordinarily, there was no rush for a new outer disciple recruit to do a task.
Since the outer disciples' strength was relatively low right now, even if they accepted a task, it would only be simple ones they would be able to manage.
Because the points for these simple tasks were relatively small, and the loss outweighed the rewards, it was better to train at Drizzle Peak.
Shaking his head in disagreement, Zen said, "I don't want pills, what I need are points."
Since he had a body as strong as a mysterious weapon, Zen ignored the conventional pills. He knew the Cloud Sect was rich, after all, even the pills that the outer disciples received were much better quality than the ones other families had.
But, regardless of how good the pills were, they weren't better than the Magical Pill. When Zen was being beaten, it was as if he was taking a Magical Pill. So, naturally, he didn't need any pills.
"What's the rush to obtain points?" asked Master Su.
"I just need the points," asserted Zen, thinking about how his need went far beyond 'a rush to get them, ' as Master Su said. He needed a million points!
Naturally acquiring that many points would take a reasonably long time, and at this stage, he was still working at getting his first hundred points. In his current situation, he lacked the resources and force to rescue Yan from Hell Mountain, but perhaps, he could visit her, right?
Seeing how stubborn Zen was, Master Su remained silent. Reaching out, she opened a pamphlet that was lying next to her and handed it to Zen. Then, in a crisp tone, she said, "This pamphlet contains the most elementary tasks, choose one of them."
