Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

333 The Manager Is Poor at Delegation

Dong Xi took the jade token and found that the task was to water the spirit plants.

Dong Xi was very puzzled. Watering? Those were all done by disciples with water spirit roots.

Dong Xi had an earth spirit root now, and she was a trash with low attributes. She could loosen the soil for the spirit plants, but watering them? This manager was quite poor in delegating tasks.

Dong Xi could not figure it out, but she had already accepted the mission, so she still had to go.

According to the jade token’s guidance, she easily arrived at the Beast Trainer Sect’s spirit herb garden.

There were a lot of spirit plants here. No matter what, Dong Xi had taken the exam at the Ningtian Gate, so she recognized all these spirit plants.

Their levels were not high, only at tier one or two.

Dong Xi stood at the door and saw a disciple holding a pole.

When that disciple saw Dong Xi, he immediately passed the pole to Dong Xi. The disciple said, “Junior Sister, it’s your turn now. I’ll be going back.”

After saying that, the disciple ran away. Dong Xi hurriedly shouted, “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, don’t go yet. Where can I get water? I don’t have a water spirit root!”

When the disciple heard this, he stopped in his tracks and pointed in a direction. The disciple said, “There’s a well over there.”

After saying that, the disciple ran away.

Dong Xi walked in with the carrying pole. She muttered, “He ran really fast. Is he being chased by ghosts?”

Dong Xi had yet to realize the seriousness of the situation. She took the bucket and walked in the direction that disciple had mentioned.

Soon, they saw a well. There was a barrier on the well, as if it was afraid that people would fall into it.

Dong Xi had never fetched water before. Every time she threw the bucket down, it would float on the surface of the water. She could not fetch water at all.

Dong Xi pondered for a moment, then picked up a stone and placed it in a bucket, filling it with water.

However, after bringing the bucket up, Dong Xi instinctively used her spiritual energy to investigate. Then, her expression changed drastically.

Such water… could it be used to water spirit plants?

Dong Xi turned around stiffly and saw that the spirit plants behind him had moved. One of the Flame Flowers even grew teeth and looked especially scary.

At this moment, Dong Xi’s cultivation technique suddenly started to circulate rapidly. She lowered her head and found a Ghost Vine slowly approaching.

“What the hell is this?!” Dong Xi asked. “Is the entire Beast Trainer Sect full of demonic Qi?”

Since things had already come to this, could it be that the disciples had not reported it? Doesn’t the sect care?

Dong Xi threw an Exorcism Pill into the bucket and started watering the spirit plants. The spirit plants slowly quieted down.

However, no matter what, she had to persist for six hours.

She would ask Guo Rui when she got back.

Dong Xi had a premonition that Guo Rui knew about Dong Xi’s background, so he was absolutely confident in letting Dong Xi come.

Dong Xi was sitting beside the field, with a bucket of water beside her.

According to Dong Xi’s opinion, it would be best if these spirit plants that had been infected by the demonic Qi were dried up or not watered.

However, she had a job to do. She even used the water ladle to practice her swordsmanship. If she encountered any spirit plant that was contaminated with demonic Qi and was restless, Dong Xi would directly pour water with the Exorcism Pill on it, and the spirit plant would immediately become obedient.

Those spirit plants that were tainted by the demonic Qi did not have intelligence. After attacking many times, these spirit plants also realized that Dong Xi was not to be trifled with, so they all behaved.

Dong Xi was in a corner, holding a water ladle to practice her swordsmanship, and flying in a corner with these spirit plants that were contaminated with Demonic qi.

After the mission was completed in eight hours, Dong Xi threw down the bucket and ladle and ran to the bamboo house.

As soon as Dong Xi entered the courtyard, she shouted, “Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master.”

Just like yesterday, Guo Rui was resting on the bamboo chair.

At this moment, the setting sun hung on the bamboo branches.

Dong Xi pushed open the gate.

Crack…

Dong Xi did not say anything she wanted to say. She looked at the broken fence in her hand in disbelief and looked at Guo Rui in shock.

Guo Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled. He said, “Pay up.”

Dong Xi was speechless.

She could encounter such scammers everywhere she went.

Or did her strength really increase after tempering her body?

Dong Xi looked at the fence door in her hand. The vines that were originally used to secure it had already broken.

Dong Xi put the gate aside and said, “I’m not paying. I’ll fix it for you in a while.”

Although Dong Xi was rich now, she could not let others bid at will, right?

Guo Rui looked at Dong Xi in surprise but did not say anything. He said, “Why did you come back in such a hurry?”

“Martial Uncle, you know everything, don’t you?” Dong Xi immediately said. “Those spirit plants are contaminated with Demonic qi?”

Dong Xi’s expression was serious, and Guo Rui could not give her a perfunctory answer.

Guo Rui smiled and nodded with a relaxed expression.

“Everyone in the sect knows about it, right?” Dong Xi continued.

“How would I know?” Guo Rui said. “Little Girl, it’s not your place to care, so don’t be too…”

However, before Guo Rui could finish, Dong Xi frowned and said, “I shouldn’t care? Then why did you let me go? You want me to catch fish for Da Fu? Guo Rui, what are you trying to say? Do you have to beat around the bush like this, guessing and wasting time?”
