Early in the morning, Qiu Yinong went to the Deacon Palace to take on an assignment, heading to Cloudmist Marsh to look after the disciples on a beast-hunting excursion.
Given her status as the sect leader’s personal disciple, this task was somewhat beneath her. The deacon in charge of distributing assignments hesitated, but Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "I haven't taken on an assignment this month, yet my cultivation is keeping me busy, so I’d like to coast through this one just this once. I kindly ask Junior Brother to bend the rules for me."
Her words were sweet and her manner amiable, so the deacon readily handed over the token. "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle. With your abilities, this task is like using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken—truly a waste."
