"Don't let it happen again!" Chu Lingjun glanced at them.
"Yes, yes..." Li Tianhao and the others nodded repeatedly.
Once they were forgiven by Chu Lingjun, the intense anxiety gripping Li Tianhao and his two companions finally subsided.
"I assume you all understand our assessment mission this time," Chu Lingjun said slowly.
"To safely escort the item to Qingyin Temple," Tang Le replied.
"Correct." Chu Lingjun nodded slightly and continued, "However, there is a deadline. We must complete this task within seven days. Otherwise, the mission will be a failure. So, time is of the essence. If you want to be promoted to Second-class Disciples, you must execute this mission perfectly, without a single mistake."
"Yes!" Li Tianhao and the others responded in a thunderous chorus.
"Where is the item?" Long Chen asked.
"I have it with me." Chu Lingjun waved her hand gently, and an emerald jade box appeared in her palm. She didn't open it. "For safety's sake, I will keep this with me."
