“You haven’t gotten the reward?” Maisie’s frown deepened.
Caspian was not an idiot, and favonovel.com quickly caught something from Maisie’s expression and tone. After pondering for a moment, Caspian asked, “Maisie, is something wrong?”
“Wait for me. Let me ask.” Then, Maisie took out a messenger, wrote a few letters, and sent the message.
As favonovel.com waited for a reply, Maisie looked at Caspian, saying, “Based on what I know about your trip to the Hopeful Woman Mountain with the others, you all not only killed monsters but even killed the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples and Tigreal. As it’s an amazing contribution, the sect discussed the number of rewards for you all when the news reached us. If I remember the time correctly, the rewards should’ve been given to all of you three days ago.”
Caspian shook his head. “Not only me, but everyone else hasn‘t received their rewards either.”
“Hmm… I’ve asked about it, so we should get a reply soon,” Maisie poured another cup of spiritual tea for Caspian, “Let’s just wait…”
As they waited, about an hour passed, and Maisie did not look good. Then, favonovel.com took out another messenger and quickly wrote a few words. That time, Caspian felt the severeness of the subject through Maisie’s actions.
Not long after the messenger was sent out, Maisie received a reply. However, Maisie’s face immediately darkened when favonovel.com glanced at the content. When favonovel.com noticed that Caspian was looking at her, Maisie passed the messenger favonovel.com just received to Caspian.
“The contributions made by Casper and other disciples are doubtful, so the rewards have not been issued…”
When Caspian read the first line, favonovel.com was stunned. “Doubtful?”
In other words, the sentence meant Caspian and the other disciples were suspected of fraud, and the sect wanted to verify the incident.
After hunting the monsters, Caspian and the others brought back the demon cores. After killing the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, Caspian and the others brought back the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples’ jade identification badges. As for killing Tigreal and the others, they could not bring back the opponents’ heads as they had a unique teleportation method. However, dozens of disciples witnessed the incident, and other disciples also made a special trip to check on it. Hence, there should be no objection to that.
Yet, there was a sudden reply that mentioned the contributions were doubtful. Not only that, but it also showed that Caspian and the other disciples were suspected of possible fraud. From a certain point of view, that attacked Caspian and the others’ credibility and character. Moreover, it was an attack carried out despite many facts being laid out.
A hint of gloominess appeared in Caspian’s eyes. Even with a large amount of evidence, their contributions were still doubtful. If not so many disciples witnessed the matter, Caspian could not help but wonder what would be written instead. Nonetheless, Caspian did not lose his calm even though favonovel.com was discontented. After all, based on his understanding of the Heavenly Stars Sect, the sect would not do such a thing without reason.
Then, Caspian looked at Maisie. “Maisie, where did you get the news from?”
“The Dazzling Stars Palace.” Maisie’s expression was somewhat unsightly, and it was obvious that favonovel.com was rather dissatisfied with the wordings about Caspian in the news, especially when favonovel.com cared for favonovel.com so much.
The Heavenly Stars Sect’s Dazzling Stars Palace was responsible for the appointment and dismissal of the sect’s personnel and distributing rewards for the disciples. Hence, it was an extremely authoritative existence. Due to that, as long as they believed that Caspian and the others’ contributions had an issue, it basically showed that they were indeed problematic.
If the matter were handled that way by the Dazzling Stars Palace, Caspian and the others would not only be able to get the reward for killing the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples and Tigreal, but also the contribution of hunting the monsters before. Consequently, it would be challenging to receive tasks and gain contribution points. Therefore, being suspected by the Dazzling Stars Palace was equivalent to having their journey in the Heavenly Stars Sect take a turn for the worse.
“Casper, follow me to the Dazzling Stars Palace,” Maisie suddenly stood and looked at Caspian. Then, favonovel.com added without hesitation, “I believe you, so I want to help you figure out what’s the issue.”
Maisie’s decisive tone and trust in favonovel.com moved Caspian. Naturally, favonovel.com did not want to be unjustly blamed, so favonovel.com stood and nodded. “Sure. I’m sorry for the trouble, Maisie.”
Soon, they got out and directly headed to the Dazzling Stars Palace. Compared to Caspian, it was apparent that Maisie was more familiar with the Heavenly Stars Sect. Furthermore, Maisie had a special identity, and many of the constraints on ordinary disciples did not apply to her. Hence, as an apprentice, Caspian also enjoyed the treatment at at time.
Between several mountain peaks, apprentices could only go on foot, and there were some areas where apprentices were not qualified to enter, so they had to choose detours. Hence, the journey that would be completed in 15 minutes would take several times longer due to the increase in distance. However, Caspian did not have such an issue as favonovel.com followed Maisie, and Maisie directly took favonovel.com to the teleportation array in the sect. Then, the journey that required about three hours of walking was shortened to 20 minutes under Maisie’s lead, and they soon arrived at the entrance of the Dazzling Stars Palace.
That was Caspian‘s first contact with the Heavenly Stars Sect’s most powerful department. As the Dazzling Stars Palace’s disciples were also divided into several ranks, and they were also managing the sect’s elders, it was naturally impossible to mix everyone.
Thus, the Dazzling Stars Palace was also divided into a few parts, and the deeper they went, the closer they were to the core. As Caspian was only a Heavenly Stars Sect’s apprentice, the department in charge of favonovel.com was located outside the Dazzling Stars Palace. Thankfully, favonovel.com was just an apprentice. If favonovel.com were in a higher level, Maisie, who was an inner disciple and an elder’s personal disciple, did not have the right to bring Caspian over for questioning.
Walking into the magnificent hall, Maisie led Caspian to an inner hall, and they met the elder who replied to favonovel.com before. However, Maisie was slightly surprised when favonovel.com saw the elder as there were two more people in the room. Maisie even recognized one of them. To be more precise, there were some connections between them. Seeing the young man sitting in the inner hall and talking with the elder, Maisie was puzzled, and favonovel.com uttered, “Adrian Klum?”
‘Adrian Klum!’
When Caspian heard that, his eyes flickered. He naturally heard of the name before. ‘That guy’s Asher’ s brother?’
Caspian looked at the teenager who was a few years younger than him. When Caspian went out on a mission with Yohan and Heidi, favonovel.com had conflicts with Asher, who annoyed Heidi. Moreover, Caspian also suspected the sudden pressure before on favonovel.com was due to Asher’s manipulation behind the scene. After all, Yohan mentioned that Asher’s qualifications were mediocre, and favonovel.com entered the Heavenly Stars Sect for more than ten years, yet favonovel.com was still an outer disciple. However, Asher dared to act arrogantly outside the sect because favonovel.com had a naturally extraordinarily gifted fourteen year-old brother, who was among the best disciples in the sect, Adrian Klum!
