After Zhao Yingxin finished speaking with a slight stutter, he summoned his mount first and flew into the clear sky in a hurry.
Chen Shen's innocent shout came from below: "Hey, I haven't gone up yet, senior sister..."
An hour later, the outer gate of Qingyun Sect, the mission hall.
"Deacon Liu, our mission has been completed." Zhao Yingxin said this and handed the other party a handwritten letter with the emperor's seal of the Arctic Kingdom.
Although Bei Huanfeng is dead, the seal that was engraved when he came to power is still there, symbolizing the imperial power of the Arctic Kingdom.
Subsequently, the Grand Imperial Advisor and the Grand General worked together to engrave the imperial seal on the mission issued by the late emperor to prove that the mission issued by the Arctic Kingdom had been completed.
As a result, the few disciples who performed the mission can receive the mission reward after returning to the sect.
Deacon Liu took the document seal and compared it with the previous imperial seal of the Arctic Kingdom, but slowly frowned: "The seal body is roughly consistent, but if you look closely, there are slight differences. Why is this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yingxin explained the mysterious disappearance of the old emperor of the Arctic Kingdom, the theft of the royal treasury, and the fact that the imperial seal was newly engraved.
After hearing this, Deacon Liu shook his head in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?"
"Then there is no other way. According to the sect's rules, we must verify that what you said is true before we can issue the reward for this mission."
"Verification? How long does it take for Deacon Liu to verify this?"
"It's hard to say...it could be as short as three to five days, or as long as one or two months, or even a year and a half."
"What? A month or two, or even a year and a half?"
Zhao Yingxin frowned slightly: "It doesn't seem like it will take that long to use the teleportation array to go to the Arctic Kingdom..."
In response to her question, Deacon Liu slowly rubbed his chin, with a gleam in his eyes, and whispered quietly: "That's what I said, but you also saw that many deacons in the mission hall are very busy."
"If you want to go out, you have to ask for leave from the chief deacon. Whether the chief deacon approves it or not is still one thing. Even if it is approved, how long will it take to wait for the shift? No one can say for sure."
"So, whether this matter can take a long time or a short time, the key lies in...hehehehe."
Deacon Liu did not say clearly what the key was.
But the way he rubbed his fingers and the "meaningful" look in his eyes were self-evident.
This matter should be left to other disciples, most of whom can understand Deacon Liu’s intentions.
But Zhao Yingxin has only been in Qingyun Sect for a little over a year, and her previous memories have been lost, but she still has a newborn heart and has not yet been assimilated into the big dye vat of Qingyun Sect.
Therefore, she murmured in confusion: "Disciple did see in the sect rules that the task needs to be verified before rewards can be issued."
"But the disciple has also read the mission hall manual, which mentions that it is the deacon's job to verify the authenticity of the disciple's seal after completing the mission."
"Deacon Liu is doing his job. Do you have to ask for leave from the chief deacon and wait for the leave to be approved before you can go out? It doesn't seem necessary, right?"
In fact, if it was just her and those few outer disciples, it would be okay.
The rewards for this mission cannot be received for the time being. At worst, I will go on to perform the next mission. I will just save up enough contribution points to participate in the inner disciple assessment later.
But for Chen Shen, a handyman disciple, the success or failure of this mission and the contribution points obtained are directly related to whether he can become an outer disciple!
You know, Zhao Yingxin also rose up step by step from a handyman disciple.
She knew very well how difficult it was for a handyman disciple to over-fulfill tasks such as planting and animal husbandry.
If he misses this time, when Chen Shen wants to go out again, he doesn’t know when he will have to wait?
On the one hand, she wanted to fight for the benefits she deserved, but more importantly, she didn't want Chen Shen to return without success - after all, everyone was able to complete the task this time because of his "power of prophecy."
It can even be said that Chen Shen saved their lives. Zhao Yingxin was unwilling to accept this result no matter what.
Hearing her words, Deacon Liu's smile suddenly turned cold: "What are you talking about?"
"It is necessary that the sky and the earth are sometimes square and sometimes round. These rules naturally have superficial and secret rules. You are not a newbie, don't you even understand this?"
"The rules are still clear and dark?" Zhao Yingxin frowned and blinked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"You...hum! Stop pretending to be confused with me here!"
Deacon Liu waved his hand impatiently: "Step back and come back when you have figured it out. Don't block the disciples who are handing over tasks behind you."
"Pretending to be confused?" Zhao Yingxin was even more surprised and turned back to look at Liu Susu and others.
In fact, Liu Susu, Han Yuankui and others have stayed in Qingyun Sect longer than she, the "senior sister".
If there are any so-called "secret rules", they should know better than themselves, right?
Several people looked at each other, and finally they quietly transmitted: "Senior Sister Zhao, this Deacon Liu is asking for a bribe from you!"
"Asking for a bribe?" Zhao Yingxin was surprised, and then she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
All her previous memories no longer exist. Ever since she entered Qingyun Sect, she has regarded this place as her home, and respected the deacons and elders as her elders.
She even wanted to strengthen herself and contribute to the big family that nurtured her in the future.
Who would have thought that those scandalous things that she had only heard about before and had never believed in were actually happening to her today.
For a time, this woman dressed in white and snowy clothes had unknowingly wavered in her support for the Qingyun Sect.
In fact, Chen Shen had already intercepted the spiritual sound transmission between Zhao Yingxin and Deacon Liu.
After all, the strength of this young man's soul is one level higher than the two of them.
At this moment, I was cursing secretly in my heart: "Why are these Qingyun Sect monks so stupid? They are openly asking for bribes! Could it be that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"
As a result, Chen Shen suddenly took a step forward, stared into Deacon Liu's eyes with a half-smile, and said coldly: "Deacon Liu, how many benefits do you think we should give you before we bother you to check it out in the shortest possible time?
Do you know whether the task is completed or not?"
When he said this, he did not use the secret method of divine consciousness transmission, but shouted it outright!
For a moment, everyone in the mission hall turned their eyes to Deacon Liu, and everyone looked like they were watching a joke.
"What a fool! Where did such a stupid young man come from?"
"This kind of thing...can you say this kind of thing in public? Idiot, big idiot!"
Deacon Liu glared hard at the young man in front of him, but with a "fair and strict" expression on his face: "What nonsense are you, this disciple, talking about?"
"What, how many benefits do you want to give me? This deacon is not that kind of person!"
"Don't let me have such crooked thoughts. I will naturally do what needs to be done, do you understand?"
