Chapter 432 Returning to the Sec (2/2)

Xu Yan, Wang Lie and the rest were stunned. However, they did not give this strange behaviour much thought, and instead turned their mocking gazes towards Zhou Yuan.

“Junior brother Zhou Yuan, I wonder what kind of evaluation you received for this Heaven level mission?” Said Wang Lie with a superficial smile. If he had not fallen for Zhou Yuan’s trick in that one move wager back then, it would have been him on the team instead.

Zhou Yuan glanced at him, before walking past without answering.

More and more disciples began to crowd over as whispers continued to spread. Everyone was clearly waiting for the entertainment to begin.

Li Qingchan approached the counter for handing in missions, retrieved a jade scroll and handed it to the middle-aged attendant behind it. The latter received the scroll and sent out his senses. Surprise surged on his face as he sent a strange look towards Zhou Yuan.

He shook his head before walking out. With a wave of his hand, a Heaven level mission appeared on the glowing wall to the side. It was the Black Flame Province mission undertaken by Zhou Yuan and the team.

The attendant’s gaze swept about the area as he said, “The Black Flame Province mission has been perfectly completed.”

Envious gasps immediately sounded all around. However, the crowd was not overly surprised, because there were two Chosens leading the team after all.

The attendant continued, “For this mission, the upper credit receivers are; Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu, Bai Li…”

Name after name was read, stopping at a total of nine.

The numerous surrounding disciples were rather confused. They could not figure out why Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu were only given an upper credit rating. They should be given the chief credit, right?

“Heh heh, I knew that Zhou Yuan wouldn’t get an upper credit!”

The eyes of Xu Yan, Wang Lei and the other Sword Cometh disciples brightened as they could not help but burst into laughter.

The other disciples also shook their heads, a little contempt in their eyes when they looked towards Zhou Yuan. He had racked his brains so hard in order to get into the team, but it only ended up as a waste of time.

They clearly believed that Zhou Yuan’s absence amongst the upper credit receivers could only mean that his performance had been too lackluster. As for the chief credit… don’t even joke about it!

With two Chosens on the team, what chance did the others have?

The attendant glanced at the laughing Sword Cometh Peak disciples and secretly shook his head. There was a slight trace of pity in his eyes as he said, “Chief credit receiver, Zhou Yuan.”

The noisy hall instantly fell quiet.

The grins on Xu Yan, Wang Lei, Lu Xuanyin and the rest’s faces froze, their eyes nearly popping from their sockets as they stared at the attendant as if having misheard him.

The attendant ignored them, and turned towards Zhou Yuan and the rest. “Kindly pass me your credit tokens.”

Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu and the rest walked forward one by one and took out their silver tokens.

Next, under the staring eyes of the crowd, Zhou Yuan walked forward and fished out a golden token...

*Gulp*

The sound of swallowing was rather loud in the silent hall. This was not an unfamiliar sight to them. The golden token represented the chief credit.

Zhou Yuan had actually obtained the chief credit in the Heaven mission?!

Dazed gaze after gaze looked towards Zhou Yuan’s figure, disbelief flooding out from the depths of their eyes.

Xu Yan, Wang Lei, Lu Xuanyin and gang were also swallowing, their faces burning as they could not help but say,

“Chief credit, Zhou Yuan?!”

“How can this be!”

The middle-aged attendant received the tokens, before taking out several jade tiles. Peculiar patterns adorned every tile, each one representing a Heaven Credit.

He then passed Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu and the rest one tile each.

As for Zhou Yuan, he was handed two of jade tiles.

This represented two Heaven Credits.

By this time, the corners of Xu Yan, Wang Lei and the gang’s mouths were trembling uncontrollably as they despaired inside. The Heaven Credits had already been out, which meant that there was definitely no mistake...

Though they could not believe it, reality was also rather cruel.

They looked at each other, seeing the dull, glazed looks in each other’s eyes. Originally, they had personally came here to be entertained. Who could have expected that they would end up voluntarily sticking out their cheeks out again for Zhou Yuan to give them a nice, hard slap...

They sighed deeply inside. Once news of what happened here spread, the recently returned peace in the sect would be broken once again...
