"So that's what they told me." Shekki said, sighing. "I didn't know that such rule. But since it's my first mistake, they all turn a blind eye for me."

Spenzer smiles wryly. 'What are you a sheltered princess?'

What Shekki told Spenzer is bullsh*t. Missions are actually better to be done by people in different peaks to have unity or strengthen the bond between peaks. Not discourage it. But in Shekki's seniors word, it is like a great sin to mix with other peak members...or is it just men?

"Senior Orbit will go with us. Should we pick a mission by now?" Shekki asks.

Spenzer nods. Though he is a bit scared of Orbit, his crazy deeds, he also knows that watching strong cultivator will help him greatly in understanding his own strength and maybe get a clues or tips from the expert.

Shekki is actually very popular now. Though a lot of people envy her and mad at her nobody walks forward and slight her. What happened back then when Gander personally find trouble to the other Peak Master's core disciple scared them all.

So they can just glare and ignore this huge mountain.

Shekki doesn't bother with others too. For her, they don't matter.

"How about that? Getting 5 Wind rank Spirit Stone. We can do that." Shekki said.

"I guess. But it will be a bit hard since you just got in this level. Wind Rank monsters might be lower in cultivation but have more advantage in their environment." Spenzer said.

"But collecting rare herb is also hard and we need to enter some sub space. I haven't been in one." Shekki said.

"How about finding spirit beast in wind rank?"

"Keeping them alive is harder than killing them." Shekki pounders.

"Hmm.." The two are in dillema. Spenzer already have some experience going in a mission but it's always been with his brothers so he is not worried. Now he is all alone and the most dangerous beast is on their team and not outside. So he wanted to find less troublesome mission.

"An escort mission!" Shekki pulls is out.

"Oh. A merchant." Spenzer.

"Must be very important person if he even dare employ cultivators."

"Must be very influencial if his request made it here." Spenzer nods. Cultivators are very snobbish people. They are arrogant and look down on normal people. How would they accept a mission to escort them if the price is low? Still, no one is taking it because it is a disgraced for cultivators to escort common people.

"Let's do this. Very rewarding and not that hard." Shekki smiles.

"Okay. You think your senior will agree?"

Shekki looks trouble. "If he doesn't then we have no choice but to do it with just us."

Spenzer scratches his head. "The Sect will not allow us if we don't have a higher ranker on our Team. If your Senior decline, I will ask one of my brothers to accompany us."

Shekki nods happily. "Okay."

Back to the abode. Orbit is trembling in anger.

"If you don't want to do it. I will do it." Elias said.

Orbit frowns.

Shekki looks troubled. "It is fine Senior Orbit, Senior Lan, Spenzer said if you will not agree we can asks one of his brothers to join us."

Orbit angrily scowls. "Who said I don't agree?"

Shekki, Elias and Orbit are inside the greenhouse. After watering the plants, Shekki starts cultivating and practicing her only spell, [Illuminate Shield]

Her ability to protect herself is amazing that is why even though her cultivation is slow, her spell is powerful.

She always ask her Seniors help to practice it after it fails to be of help when she was fighting that high rank cultivator brought by the princess in their home. It is a shield but it shatters so easily when the opponent is a higher in cultivation.

"Senior, please help me." Shekki said as she prepare the shield.

Elias punched the shield.

It turn into a shattered glass shards.

Shekki sighs. "I feel like it is not meant to be a shield to protect me. It is so weak."

Orbit snorts. "Senior Elias is just too strong."

Shekki nods "And handsome."

Elias smiles and rubs Shekki's head. "Changing the subject will not make you strong. Again."

Shekki sighs. Then she frowns.

"What's wrong?" Orbit asks. He is still sulking that the mission they choose is actually escort mission but there is no way he is handing his position as a team member just because of that. Still it's irritating.

"I'll be gone more longer becaus eof the mission. What about cooking? Washing clothes? Cleaning rooms? Will you be alright?"

Orbit snickers. "What are you thinking? They are doing that for a hundred year without you. They will be fine." Orbit finally laugh merrily.

Shekki smiles. "Right. I am glad."

Elias looks at Orbit. But he too smiles. He too thinks that it'll be fine. The first time, it was hard but maybe the second time they will be accustomed to it. How can one or two presence gone be much of difference? Orbit always goes off before and they don't even notice it.

Elias convinced himself.

"I will miss our home and everyone. No..I already missing everyone. Hmm..I am starting to feel really sad!" Shekki said, clenching her fist and standing up. Her eyes are trembling and shinning. "I am so full of sorrow."

"I can't see it." Orbit snorts.

Shekki smiles. "Cause I am good at hiding it. Hehe." Shekki walks to the door. "I can't stay here feeling gloomy. I will cook and clean the house to calm my heart. Later Seniors."

Orbit and Elias just watch her walks away.

Elias too feel that he is sad.

"Why is she feeling sad? It's just a quick mission." Orbit said, totally forgetting he once get extremely irritated in the 5 days he didn't see Shekki.

Of course he didn't admit that he does feel sad.

Elias just feels even sadder. "Aren't you going to a close door cultivation? And you hate escort mission. I will go."

Orbit glares at him. "No."

Elias squints his eyes. "Why do you care so much? And lately, you are staying in this abode more and more. You often won't stay for 2 days."

Orbit ignores him. "I'm going to clutivate here. Don't talk to me."

Elias frowns. He should have said he will go in a mission with Shekki first. Why did he hesitate?
