The process of handing in the task went smoothly. After taking out the demon core of the Black Mountain Python and passing the appraisal, Gao Jing immediately received a merit reward of 1,300 yuan.
Since this meritorious reward was obtained from his own mission and was not purchased or exchanged from others, Gao Jing took this opportunity to complete his first permission upgrade.
His bronze badge was replaced by a silver badge, and he has entered the mainstream ranks of Wutang students!
The silver badge not only represents status, but most importantly, authority.
For example, in the library, silver badge holders can borrow books of a higher quality than bronze badge holders.
In the Hall of Merit, you can also go up to the second floor to pick up some specific tasks.
Some limited-level tasks can only be received by those with corresponding permissions.
In addition, after the badge upgrade, Gao Jing also has the authority to publish tasks in the Hall of Merit!
Also, the total number of tasks he can receive at one time has been increased to four.
But Gao Jing did not choose new tasks to fill up his task list.
The only remaining task he has yet to complete is to find the whereabouts of Wu San!
Gao Jing's understanding of this former concubine of the Nile Wu family and a former martial arts genius was limited to Wu Li's account.
And maybe because it involves family privacy, Wu Li didn't say much.
At present, the information he has is very limited, and he has no clue on how to find Wu San.
After thinking about it, Gao Jing decided to ask others for help.
That person is his master Huo Gan!
Arriving at the Wutang High Pavilion, Gao Jing saw Huo Gan again.
He gave a gift first.
Two bottles of very old Maotai liquor are priceless goodies. Gao Jing also got some through Qin Qing.
Among the two legends he knew, Wu Li liked Havana cigars and Scotch whiskey, while Huo Gan had a special liking for the domestic Moutai, and would drink two glasses of it in his spare time.
Therefore, every time Gao Jing came to ask Huo Gan for advice, he always brought two bottles of Maotai.
"What happened?"
Huo Gan accepted these two bottles of valuable Moutai without ceremony and asked with a smile: "Tell me about it."
To be honest, Gao Jing often felt that the two legends Huo Gan and Wu Li came from the same family.
The two of them have similar expressions when they smile!
He asked: "Master, I have accepted the task of finding Wu San, do you have any clues?"
"Wu San."
Hearing this name, Huo Gan showed a look of reminiscence.
The legendary strongman took a long breath and said: "After all, he is my junior brother. His martial arts talent is stronger than mine. If he lives to this day, the position of chief martial arts hall will definitely belong to him."
Gao Jing's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure this senior is dead?"
"Basically sure!"
Huo Gan nodded and replied: "Wu San has been missing for decades. If he is still alive, he will definitely return to Nile. I haven't received any news about him in these years."
"The mission of the Hall of Merit was given by the Wu family. Many people took it, but no one was able to complete it."
It has to be said that Huo Gan's answer disappointed Gao Jing: "So there are no clues?"
In this case, Gao Jing could only give up.
It was impossible for him to spend a lot of time tracking down the whereabouts of Wu San.
The sun essence fire promised by Wu Li is certainly tempting, but without even the most basic clues, Gao Jing will not jump into the pit.
"It's not like there's nothing at all."
Huo Gan hesitated for a moment, then said: "I know someone, and I might be able to find some clues from her."
Gao Jing's eyes lit up: "Who?"
Huo Gan didn't answer immediately.
After a while, he said: "I hope you and your senior sister Huang Ying will complete this task together."
Royal Oriole?
Gao Jing was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
Speaking of which, he has been under Huo Gan's disciples for a long time, but his relationship with this senior sister can only be described as average.
That is to say, Gao Jing used a diamond necklace in exchange for a thousand meritorious deeds from Huang Ying.
Huang Ying is the proud daughter of the direct lineage of the Huang family. She has a very arrogant personality and is pursued by many children of wealthy families.
Such characters often mean trouble.
Gao Jing is not afraid of trouble, but he also doesn't like to cause trouble, so he usually keeps Huang Ying at a distance.
Unexpectedly, Huo Gan actually asked him to go with Huang Ying to find the whereabouts of Wu San.
Gao Jing couldn't help but feel pain in his balls.
Although that arrogant young lady is not a pig teammate, she is not a fuel-saving lamp either!
Of course Huo Gan noticed Gao Jing's troubled look, so he asked, "Do you know about your senior sister and Wu Hu?"
Of course Gao Jing knows!
Wu Hu is the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation of the Nile Wu family, and he is also Gao Jing's senior.
However, Wu Hu had graduated from the God of War Martial Hall the year before last and was currently serving in the Nile City Guard Corps.
He has outstanding talent and powerful strength, and with the support of the Wu family, he has a bright future!
Wu Hu is also one of Huang Ying's suitors.
I don’t know what conditions the Wu family came up with some time ago, but they actually persuaded the royal family to agree to a marriage between Huang Ying and Wu Hu!
However, Huang Ying didn't like Wu Hu at all. After knowing this, she went to the city guard to challenge Wu Hu face to face.
Huang Ying told Wu Hu that if the other party won the contest, she would agree to the marriage.
If Wu Hu loses, then he should stop having such wishful thinking!
It is said that there were hundreds of onlookers at the martial arts field of the city guard barracks, including Wu Hu's men.
It was naturally impossible for Wu Hu to refuse such a challenge - otherwise, how could he hold his head high in front of his colleagues in the future?
This genius of the Wu family is also very confident in his own strength.
What people never expected was that in just a few rounds, he was knocked to the ground by Huang Ying.
Loss of face!
Naturally, this marriage also became a thing of the past.
This incident caused a sensation in Nile at the time. Of course Gao Jing could not have known about it, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to it.
"Your senior sister used some tricks to defeat Wu Hu, and her attack was a little harder."
Huo Gan looked a little embarrassed: "The Wu family has come to me to ask for an explanation for hurting the origin of Wu Hu. I think if she and you can find the whereabouts of Wu San, it can make up for the mistake to some extent."
"In addition, your senior sister's temper needs to be tempered, and it would be a good thing to let her go outside to experience it."
So that’s it!
Gao Jing was stunned.
However, he felt that his master must be hiding something.
Gao Jing had no intention of asking, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with senior sister."
No matter what, he is Huo Gan's direct disciple.
Huo Gan treats him well, not to mention that it is a disciple's responsibility to serve the master!
"good!"
Huo Gan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then it's settled!"
Seeing the beaming smile on the face of this legendary strongman, Gao Jing felt like he had fallen into a pit.
But now that he agreed, he had no intention of going back on it.
