Xu Su hesitated for a long moment before awkwardly calling out, "Master."
After the first time, it was as if she'd broken through a barrier. She called out again, more naturally this time. "Hello, Master. I came to the Netherworld Sea to find an herb called a Sunset Flower."
Nanyang's voice faltered. "The Sunset Flower? At your level, who would assign you a quest like that? That's no different from sending you to your death!"
Xu Su froze, realizing in an instant. 'Was someone setting me up?'
'I just joined the gang, I haven't offended anyone. Why would this Outer Disciple try to get me killed?'
Just then, the Outer Disciple who had assigned her the quest started messaging her in the chat box, demanding a progress update. Xu Su quickly typed her reply: "Sorry, I've been looking for a long time but couldn't find it. I can't complete the quest. You should find someone else."
Xu Su's logic was simple. If she couldn't complete the quest, she just wouldn't get the reward.
