Bewildered, Sofie stared blankly at the house in front of her. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of anyone being an alchemist.

Xiao Yao maybe… But then again, she was almost always practicing with her spear or going on missions. Yue Wan… That… Was truly a little too unimaginable. From what Yang Meng had told Sofie about alchemy, it required a lot of patience and took a very long time to master. This alone was enough for Sofie to rule out the possibility of it being Yue Wan.

Maybe she had gotten a new roommate that practiced alchemy and just hadn't seen her yet?

Coming up with more and more drawn out excuses, Sofie awkwardly followed Yang Meng into the house.

…

"Sofie? You are back already back, I thought you were going to turn in the mission you completed today and that is… Yang Meng? What are you two doing here? Maybe meeting here before going to the mission hall…?"

Coming out of her room with a tired look on her face, Xiao Yao had a confused look on her face as she stared at both of them.

"N-no, we just got back from the mission hall…"

Nervous for no reason, Sofie started fidgeting slightly as she felt extremely awkward under the confused gaze Xiao Yao was sending her way at the moment.

"Then you already handed in your mission, I see… So why is Yang Meng here, are you going to train together in the small training ground?"

Feeling it was harder and harder for her to ask about the mission they came to complete, Sofie pleadingly looked up at Yang Meng. Hoping he would help her out and come to the rescue.

"We actually came here to complete the mission… The mission was issued by a disciple living here…"

Hearing what Yang Meng said, Xiao Yao paused for a moment as she put on a thoughtful expression as she narrowed her eyes. "What was the mission about…?"

"W-we needed to collect a low mortal-grade moon flower. The rewards were really good for a mission like that, so we ended up taking it…"

Listing to what Yang Meng was saying, Xiao Yao's eyes started narrowing even further than they already had. Making both Yang Meng and Sofie s.h.i.+ver at the dangerous aura emitting off of her at the moment.

"Hm… I think the one you are looking for is Yue Wan…"

Frowning at her own words, Xiao Yao looked dangerously towards the door of the house. Seemingly looking in the direction of the dining hall.

"I-is Yue Wan an alchemist!?"

Not believing her own words, Sofie was shocked by the sudden realization that Yue Wan might really be an alchemist.

How? Didn't it require someone to be calm and relax? Wasn't it extremely time consuming and difficult to succeed? Since when did Yue Wan ever practice alchemy…?

Filled with all sorts of questions, Sofie looked towards Xiao Yao. Hoping that she would provide her with the answers.

"Ah… No, Yue Wan is not an alchemist…"

Looking to the side, Xiao Yao answered Sofie's question in a slightly helpless voice.

"Hm? What would she need the moon flower for then? Is it used for something other than alchemy maybe?"

Not understanding why Yue Wan would issue a mission for the moon flower, while not being an alchemist. Sofie turned even more confused than she was before. All she could think was that Yue Wan maybe set up the mission for a friend of hers, but… The only person Sofie saw Yue Wan together with was Xiao Yao and she was not an alchemist…

"S-she mig-"

"Sofie~ I'm back!"

Just as Xiao Yao was about to come up with a bad excuse to brush the questions aside, the person in question busted in through the door.

"Hm? What is that one doing in here!?"

Discovering Yang Meng, Yue Wan immediately looked full of hostility.

"They are here to complete the mission about the low mortal-grade moon flower you issued to the mission hall!"

Narrowing her eyes, Xiao Yao looked directly at Yue Wan. Waiting to see how she would respond.

"Ah, I did put up that mission! Do you have the moon flower with you at the moment? If so, we can complete the mission now!"

Not revealing any flaws, Yue Wan answered like everything was normal and revealed nothing suspicious.

This on the other hand only caused Xiao Yao's eyes to narrow even further.

"Yeah we have it here."

Not suspecting anything wrong, Yang Meng brought out a small box and gave it to Yue Wan.

"Hm… A low mortal-grade moon flower and it has also been stored well. Take out your sect badges and I will transfer half the mission points over to each of you, that being 50 mission points for each. After that both of you can follow me to get the low mortal-grade spirit fruit."

Xiao Yao's eyes narrowed to an unimaginable degree. Yue Wan was acting normal… too normal…

"You don't mind if I follow? I don't really have anything better to do at the moment and we can also go to the dining hall on out way back and get something to eat before returning."

Hearing what Xiao Yao said, Yue Wan finally showed a bit of hesitation as she turned around and looked understandingly at Xiao Yao for a moment before nodding her head in agreement. Refusing Xiao Yao would only make her more suspicious than she already was.

"H-how do I transfer mission points?"

Appearing confused at hearing something new, Sofie asked no one in particular.

"Ah, you just send some of your qi into the sect badge. After that you think about the amount you want to transfer and connect to the sect badge you want to transfer the mission points to. Like this." Saying so, Yang Meng took out his sect badge and touched the sect badge in Yue Wan's hand.

"W-wh-what do you think you are doing!?"

Panicking a little upon seeing Yang Meng's sect badge reach forward touching hers. Yue Wan warily pulled her sect badge away and turned to look towards Yang Meng with a terrifying murderous intent.

"I only showed Sofie how to transfer mission points…"

Startled and a little speechless upon seeing the extreme reaction, Yang Meng looked a little uncomfortable. Not due to the murderous intent of Yue Wan, he had gotten used to that… But due to the cautiousness.

Why was Yue Wan cautious all of a sudden? Have I done something to scare her… Nope, definitely not…!

Seeing the murderous look on her face, Yang Meng instantly banished the thought of scaring her. More than him scaring her, it was the other way around…

"Well then let's quickly get going…!"

Seeing the startled look on Yang Meng's face, Yue Wan quickly transferred the mission points to both of them before jumping out of the door. Leaving Sofie, Yang Meng and Xiao Yao confused about Yue Wan's strange behaviour.

"Well… For now, let's pick up the spirit fruit for you two first. After that we can visit the dining hall for something to eat…"

Upon hearing the mention of the dining hall, both Yang Meng and Sofie quickly forgot all about Yue Wan's strange behaviour and soon both of them were out of the door. Leaving only Xiao Yao behind.

"What is she planning this time… Hah… No matter what it is, it will most definitely be something annoying…"

Sighing heavily to herself, Xiao Yao made her way out the door.
