C392 A Preliminary Observation on the Tiger Crane
Chu Yan was not stupid. From the other party's expression and tone, he had already understood a bit.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yan asked: "Is there a problem, senior sister?"
"Wait a moment, let me ask." Su Yuqing took out a piece of Message Talisman, wrote a few lines on it, and activated it.
While waiting for a response, Su Yuqing looked at Chu Yan and said, "According to what I know, during your trip to the Wangnv Peak, not only did you kill demon beasts, you also killed disciples of the Nine Sacred Sect, Jiang Yonghu and others. The contributions were great, so when the news spread throughout the sect, people within the sect were already discussing how many rewards you should get.
"If I remember correctly, the reward should have been given to you three days ago."
Chu Yan shook his head: "Not only me, the others have not gotten any rewards either."
"Yeah, I've already asked. There should be a reply soon." Su Yuqing poured another cup of spirit tea for Chu Yan, "Wait a moment."
Just like that, an hour had passed.
Su Yuqing's face became ugly for once.
She took out another Message Talisman and quickly wrote a few lines of words.
This time, Chu Yan could feel how strict the other party's words were from Su Yuqing's actions.
Not long after the Message Talisman was released, they received a reply.
Seeing the content of the reply, Su Yuqing's face instantly darkened.
Seeing Chu Yan looking at him, Su Yuqing passed the message he just received to Chu Yan.
"This time, the contributions of Chu Yan and the other disciples are doubtful, so the rewards were not given out yet …"
Seeing the first line of words, Chu Yan was stunned: "Suspicion?"
The meaning of his words was even more obvious. He was saying that Chu Yan and the others were doing something fake, the sect wanted to verify that.
After killing the beasts, Chu Yan and the others brought back their demon cores.
After killing the Nine Saints Sect Disciple, Chu Yan and the others brought back the Nine Saints Sect Disciple's identity jade token.
After killing Jiang Yonghu and the others, although they could not bring back their heads due to the fact that they possessed special teleportation, there were dozens of disciples that they saw at that time, and there were even other disciples that specially went to check on them afterwards.
But now, they suddenly mentioned that their contributions were questionable, and not only that, it also proved that there was a possibility that Chu Yan and the others were lying. To a certain extent, this was an attack on their credibility and character.
And this was under the condition that many facts had already been revealed, this was an attack.
A hint of haze suddenly emerged in Chu Yan's eyes.
Under the circumstance where there was a large amount of evidence, if one could still say that their contributions were questionable, then if there hadn't been so many disciples who had personally witnessed it, then who knew what it would be like now.
Although he was unhappy, Chu Yan did not lose his cool.
Based on his understanding of the Shattered Star Pavilion, a sect would definitely not do something like this for no reason at all.
Chu Yan looked at Su Yuqing: "Senior Sister, where did this news come from?"
"Starlight Palace." Su Yuqing's current expression was extremely ugly, obviously she was dissatisfied with the words that the news had said to Chu Yan.
Within the Shattered Star Pavilion, Starlight Palace was responsible for the appointment and removal of the sect personnel and the award of the disciples.
And because of this, as long as they thought that there was a problem with Chu Yan and the rest's contribution, it basically showed that there was a problem.
If this matter were to be dealt with like that by the Starlight Palace, forget about getting the contributions from killing the Nine Saint Sect and Jiang Yonghu, don't even think about the contributions from killing the beasts previously. In the future, when he accepts missions in the Shattered Star Pavilion, it would be very difficult to earn contribution points.
In other words, being suspected by the Starlight Palace, was basically equivalent to having a very difficult life in the Shattered Star Pavilion.
"Junior brother, come with me to Starlight Palace." Su Yuqing suddenly stood up, his gaze landing on Chu Yan, and spoke without hesitation, "I trust you, so I want to help you figure out what's going on."
Su Yuqing's resolute tone and the trust she had for her moved her heart.
Of course, he did not want to be the scapegoat for no reason, so he stood up and nodded, "Alright, sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister."
Going out the door, walking the whole way, Su Yuqing was clearly more familiar with the Shattered Star Pavilion than she was with him.
Furthermore, Su Yuqing's identity was special, and many of the restrictions placed on ordinary disciples did not exist for her.
Therefore, Chu Yan who was currently a disciple enjoyed a special treatment.
For example, the disciples could only go between several mountain peaks on foot. Some areas could only be traveled on foot because the disciples did not have the right to enter or even chose to take a detour.
But since Chu Yan was with Su Yuqing, there were no such problems.
Su Yuqing brought him straight into the sect's teleportation circle.
Originally, it would have taken them two to four hours to finish this journey. Under Su Yuqing's lead, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Starlight Palace in less than twenty minutes.
It was Chu Yan's first time coming into contact with the most powerful part of the Shattered Star Pavilion.
Since the disciples of the Starlight Palace were divided into several levels, and were simultaneously managing the deacons of the sects, it was naturally impossible to mix everyone together.
Therefore, the Starlight Palace was also divided into several parts, and the deeper they went, the closer they got to the core.
As Chu Yan was currently a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, the part that was in charge of managing him was also on the outskirts of the Starlight Palace.
It was fortunate that he was an apprentice, if his cultivation level was a bit higher, even if Su Yuqing was an inner disciple, and a direct disciple of an elder, he still wouldn't have the qualifications to bring Chu Yan here for questioning.
Walking into the vast hall, Su Yuqing led Chu Yan, and quickly reached the inner hall, where they met the deacon who sent the message to her.
But when he saw the Enforcer, Su Yuqing was slightly stunned.
This was because there were two other people in the inner hall.
Su Yuqing even recognized one of them.
More accurately speaking, the two of them had some connections.
"Mei Yunhe?" Seeing the young man sitting in the inner hall and talking to the Enforcer, Su Yuqing asked curiously.
"Mei Yunhe!" Hearing this name, Chu Yan's eyes flashed.
He naturally had heard of this name before.
"He is Mei Yunpeng's little brother?" Chu Yan looked at the youngster in front of him who was a few years younger than him.
When he, Li Yao, Xu Ya and the others were on the mission together, a conflict had arisen between him and Mei Yunpeng, who was pestering Xu Ya.
Even the pressure that was previously placed on Chu Yan was suspected to be caused by Mei Yunpeng.
At that time, he had heard Li Yao and the others talk about Mei Yunpeng's average aptitude. He had already been in the Shattered Star Pavilion for more than ten years, but he was still an outer disciple.
But the reason he was able to do as he pleased in the outer sect was because he had an extraordinary talent. Only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was already the younger brother with the highest aptitude in the inner sect — Mei Yunhe!
