109 No Talent at All (2/2)
Mei Chao Bing didn't give them the chance to say anything though and just continued to speak. ”You probably weren't on many missions before. This is expected. For the next few days, try to see what the others are doing. If you feel that there is something you could learn from them, then ask them about it and have them explain it to you in detail. Even if you can't learn everything in a short amount of time, it'll be more efficient and also reduce the stress on the other person if there is somebody taking up at least a part of their task.”
The girl looked up at Mei Chao Bing, her eyes growing wide. Was this really the Mei Chao Bing everybody was talking so badly about? For a moment, she was too shocked to react but then she nodded eagerly, her lips curving into a cute smile and her eyes sparkling. ”I'll do that!”

That was right. She hadn't learned much and might not have been a big help so far but who said that she couldn't change that? She just had to do as Mei Chao Bing had said, then she might be able to go back after the mission and say that she had learned at least something. Regardless of what it was, her Master would be proud and her senior martial sister Zhang would definitely praise her.
With that attitude in mind, she listened intently when the other people introduced themselves. Senior martial brother Mei had said that she should watch for a few days but she felt that it would be best to find out what the others could do first. That way, she might already be able to tell if there was something she might be good at. She certainly hoped so.
Unfortunately, things weren't that easy. The longer she listened, the more hesitant she became. There was nothing that jumped out at her. Would there really be something she could learn?
The two martial brothers that had tried to console her before had a decent cultivation and one of them had a bit of experience with missions but neither picked up any special talents so they were a lost cause.
The other martial sisters were a bit better. Even though the cultivation realm of the younger one was on the lower side as well, she was able to refine some pills and make some simple mixtures. Even though it would be difficult to use that while they were outside, she might be able to provide them with help if they got into a situation where they would need medical knowledge. She also knew some herbs so it was just a question of finding them.
The senior martial sister surprisingly had good martial arts just like Yuan Lei and was knowledgeable about some natural resources. In fact, she was able to make explosives and some other useful things that they could use against the demonic practitioners.
Both of these were valuable assets for the mission but, unfortunately, they would take a lot of time to learn. She seriously doubted that she would be able to be of much help even if she started to learn now.
The biggest surprise was probably the senior martial brother standing on the other side of Mei Chao Bing. Not only was his cultivation base rather high, but he also had a lot of experience. In their group, he was probably second only to Mei Chao Bing and maybe Yuan Lei. But the latter was something they would only be able to make sure of if he ever were to get up against him. He also knew about arrays and talismans so if they encountered those, he could help with that.
Needless to say, she couldn't compare to that kind of person and also wouldn't dare to ask them to teach her.
In the end, Yi Ju didn't find anything she could do and her only comfort was that Yun Bei Fen was just as hopeless as she was. Having him around comforted her at least a little. It didn't help much though. After all, the two of them were just the people who would drag down the others the most. She really hoped that she would be able to magically pick up a skill soon.
