After accepting the task, Yun Xi took Ying Nianling to the club building. After searching for a long time in the club distribution map of the building on the first floor, Yun Xi finally found the name "Classical Literature Club" on a side foot.
Name.
Located in the far corner of the sixth floor, even the club's nameplate looks shabby.
"It's really a club that has no sense of existence..."
Yun Xi is already unable to complain.
……
……
"Oreki-kun, when are we going to the Xilin Mountains?"
In the small club classroom, there is a medium-sized table. Oreki is sitting on a stool, his upper body weakly leaning on the table.
He looked at the beautiful girl across the table who gave off a delicate, pure and lovely feeling, feeling helpless.
"The Xilin Mountains are too dangerous. We can easily get injured if we go in, and the place you mentioned is still deep and unsafe."
The girl's name was Chitanda. She didn't care about the danger Oreki said. She leaned forward and approached Oreki, with light in her lavender eyes.
"But, I'm curious!"
Oreki looked away unnaturally when she stared at him, and his face turned slightly red for no reason.
"I have already posted a task request in the task pavilion, please wait for someone to help."
Chitanda sat back: "But, who will accept the invitation?"
Oreki didn't answer and leaned on the table.
It has been almost half a month since he sent out the mission, but there is still no one to take it. Chitanda has always wanted to go to the Xilin Mountains, saying that he heard from his classmates that he had seen a cave hidden in the middle of the mountainside that was protected by a formation.
, she was very curious about what was hidden inside.
"..."
He exhaled silently. If no one came to take over the task today, then he would have to go alone, hoping to come back alive.
Dong dong dong...
The door was knocked awake, and there was a pleasant sound coming from outside.
"Is anyone there?"
Oreki sat up, and Chitanda ran over and opened the door.
The wooden door with a simple formation opened horizontally, and Chitanda saw two very beautiful girls.
A tall and slender figure, fair and supple skin, delicate facial features, and enviable beauty.
A girl with silver hair and red eyes is holding a lollipop in her hand. She is so cute that people want to reach out and pinch her face.
Chitanda knows these two people. To be precise, it is impossible for the entire Qifeng students and teachers not to know these two people.
"Senior sister Yunxi and junior schoolmate Ying Nianling!"
Chitanda was a little surprised.
Yun Xi looked at the beautiful senior sister in front of her, and a sense of familiarity suddenly flashed through her mind.
She remembered that when the school beauty rankings were in turmoil, this senior's popularity seemed to be ranked third in the Qifeng internal platform rankings, and she remembered her name.
Yun Xi saluted: "Hello, Chitanda-senpai."
Yun Xi thought the name Chitanda was a bit special at first, so the impression was relatively deeper.
"Do you know me?"
"I've seen your photos."
Yun Xi seemed very polite.
Oreki on the side saw the wooden sign in Yunxi's hand and asked, "Are you here for a mission?"
When Chitanda heard Oreki's words, his eyes moved down and he also noticed the wooden sign in Yunxi's hand.
"Ah! Is the person who took over our mission Senior Sister Yun Xi?"
Yun Xi picked up the wooden sign in her hand and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Well...that's me."
"That's great! Oreki-san." Chitanda said to Oreki, "Someone is helping us, we can get there!"
After listening to Chitanda's words, Yun Xi moved his eyes towards Oreki.
This is a person with slightly long hair and a lazy atmosphere all over his body.
Yun Xi bowed slightly to him as a salute.
Oreki nodded and said calmly: "The mission requirement is to go to the Xilin Mountains outside the city to investigate a cave halfway up the mountain. The cave is protected by a formation. This is worth noting."
He took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew for a while.
"This is the map."
Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, now... the arrangements are over?
This is the first time she has met such a straightforward man.
"Oh, okay..."
"Oreki-kun!"
Before Yun Xi could agree, Chitanda had already spoken before her.
Chitanda looked at Oreki with some dissatisfaction: "We got rid of other people's help, how can we let them go by themselves?"
Oreki moved his eyes: "They will be paid."
"This is not a matter of remuneration. Anyway, I want to go too!" Chitanda looked serious.
Oreki said with a headache: "The Xilin Mountains are very dangerous. If you are not strong enough, something could easily happen if you go there."
Chitanda is stubborn and refuses to listen to dissuasion.
After a long silence, when Yun Xi was about to ask, Chitanda broke the silence again.
She took two steps forward, grabbed Oreki's hand, and looked at him affectionately with her eyes wide open: "I'm very curious!"
"Oreki-san, I'm very curious about what is hidden in that cave! I really want to know, I want to find out with my own eyes!"
"Huh..."
Oreki seemed to be impressed by her and could only sigh helplessly: "I know."
Withdrawing his hand from Chitanda's, Oreki turned his head and said to Yun Xi: "Are you free now?"
"Hmm. Eh? Wait, do you want to go now?"
Yun Xi just came to understand the situation and didn't even think about going out immediately!
"Now that we have time, it would be better to solve it as soon as possible. When the weekend passes, there won't be enough time."
Oreki said calmly.
"Is this... like this?"
Yun Xi also wanted to make some preparations to prevent unexpected situations. Suddenly, she thought of someone.
"Please wait, I'll be back soon."
Yun Xi ran out, took out her mobile phone at the corner of the corridor, found the contact with the note "Fengqi Tiantai", and sent a message.
"I'm going to the Xilin Mountains."
Less than half a minute after the message was sent, it was already shown as read, and then the other party sent a message.
"I know, someone will follow you."
Yun Xi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After deleting the chat history, she sent another message to Yun Feng.
Although she has begun to try to trust Tan Rui, no matter what, she is still the most reliable.
……
"Oreki-san! Did you scare away Yunxi-san?"
In the Classical Literature Department, Chitanda asked Oreki.
Oreki denied: "How is that possible? She just has something to do."
"What happened?"
Chitanda's gaze full of intellectual curiosity was projected onto Oreki, making it difficult for him to resist.
He grabbed a strand of hair in front of his forehead, rubbed it gently, and said while thinking: "Yunxi and the others were attacked in Beicheng District before. She should be afraid of being attacked again."
"Is that so? How did Oreki-san know?"
"Fubu told me before that Yun Xi and Ying Nianling entered the Formation Club, and everyone else went to the Fighting Club. Ying Nianling didn't mention it, but Yun Xi is a swordsman, and it is not normal to go to the Formation Club.
I heard that in the attack they suffered, the other party used formations to trap them first, so Yun Xi probably went to the formation club to learn more about formations and avoid going out."
"Her companions did not go, but instead joined the fighting club, which shows that they are not worried about being attacked again. Based on this reasoning, the other party should have been directed at Yun Xi during that attack, so she was forced to choose to separate from her companions
Go to different clubs."
"If she goes out, there should be a possibility of encountering danger. She should contact the teacher to escort her now."
After hearing Oreki's explanation, Chitanda suddenly realized: "Then wouldn't it be too dangerous for us to ask junior Yun Xi to help?"
Oreki lowered his head and sighed: "I will also find someone to protect us secretly."
Oreki took out his mobile phone, opened one of the contacts, hesitated for a moment, and then sent the message.
Turning to look at the blue sky outside, Oreki's eyes drooped slightly.
