52 Returning to The Dining Hall (2/2)
Feeling her exhaustion disappearing like it never happened in the first place, Sofie quickly flew up from the chairs and made her way towards the tables filled with food as she remembered the reason, she was here in the first place.
”…”
All Yang Meng could do, was helplessly look on as Sofie started building her own mountain of food as well. Wondering where the sudden boost in energy came from.
…
”So, when do you want and turn in the moon flower for the mission?”
Having finished the food mountain in front of him, Yang Meng asked in a serious voice, while looking over at Sofie, who was still engrossed in eating the food in front of her.
”Hm? I doewnt knwow”
Reluctantly turning her attention away from the food in front of her, Sofie looked over at Yang Meng and tried to answer to the best that she could with a mouth full of food.
”Please don't speak with food in your mouth…”
Feeling like he had suddenly become her parent, Yang Meng corrected her poor behaviour.
”S-sorry… I-I don't know when we should turn in the moon flower for the mission, w-when do you think?”
Embarrassed at being caught talking with food in her mouth, Sofie quickly apologised.
”Hm… No problem, how about we go to the mission hall early in the morning? If we do it before eating breakfast, there shouldn't be so many people at the mission hall.”
”Why not just do it now?”
Confused about this, Sofie decided to ask.
”Well… Going now would be a bad idea, as most of the people are returning from missions are going over there to complete their mission at the mission hall now. Meaning the place is completely filled up to the brim with disciples… Way worse than the time we first came there to accept a mission…”
Saying so, Yang Meng narrowed his eyes slightly. Clearly not willing to go to the mission hall in the rush hours.
”Worse than the first time we went there…?”
Sofie blanked out for a moment when she remembered how she got lost the first time she entered the mission hall.
Back then, the entire mission hall was completely filled up to the brim, but that was not even the rush hour yet… Just thinking about how busy and crowded the current mission hall was, left Sofie shivering slightly.
…
As both Sofie and Yang Meng had agreed to go to the mission hall early the next day. Deep inside the underground forest, Yue Wan and Chen Long had finally stopped their verbal dispute.
”W-where is Sofie?!”
”B-brother?”
Both of them quickly realized that they were alone in the glowing forest and not far away from them, a small note was nailed into the side of a tree.
The note was glowing in a bright colour, so it was easy to spot even inside the glowing underground forest.
”Ah, there is something over here!”
Discovering the brightly glowing note, Chen Long quickly made his way to it and read it out loud.
[To Chen Long and Yue Wan]
[Hello brother and Yue Wan, I have taken the junior brother and sister back to the sect, seeing as both of you were too 'busy' with your own things]
[Sincerely Chen Chun]
”CHEN CHUN!” ”BROTHER!”
Both Yue Wan and Chen Long felt angry that they were left behind, but could not really say anything to it as both of them had really been too absorbed in their verbal fight earlier…
Not sparing even a second longer, both of them used their cultivation to the fullest and made their way back towards the sect grounds.
