7428 Chapter 7426-forced to pay

He didn’t know about the other three crystals, or he would have reported it to the sword spring sect.

“Vice sect leader Zong, this disciple only wants to know, is there such a rule in the sect? What will happen if you don’t hand it over?”

Lin Yi wasn’t scared at all-he didn’t back down just because the other was the Vice sect leader.

“In front of this Lord, do you have the right to ask questions?”

Deputy sect leader Zong tore off his friendly mask and sneered,””I’m giving you a chance by asking you to hand it over. Don’t think that you’ll be fine if you don’t hand it over!”

The meaning of his words was that he had to hand them over no matter what!

At most, they would just Rob him!

“Hehe, why is it so lively here? even the Deputy sect leader is here!”

The atmosphere gradually became deadlocked. Just as they were about to draw their swords, elder Qin suddenly came and tried to smooth things over with a smile.”Why do you all have such ugly expressions on your faces when this old man comes? are you not welcoming this old man? Vice sect leader Zong?”

“How could that be? elder Qin is famous for his good relations with people. I’m so happy to see elder Qin!”

The Vice sect leader’s expression softened as he greeted elder Qin with a smile, but his eyes were still locked on Lin Yi.

“However, elder Qin, although we are friends, today is within the scope of my duty. It is not convenient to talk about the old days with you. When I am done here, I will find you to talk!”

The Vice sect leader didn’t wait for elder Qin to continue and stopped him with words.””Sima Yi, you’d better think this through. Don’t think that the outer sect’s steward, the eldest senior brother, has an extraordinary status. In my eyes, he’s nothing!”

“Vice sect leader Zong’s status is n.o.ble, of course we outer sect disciples can’t compare to him.”

“Is the hierarchy of the sword spring sect meant for this?” Lin Yi smiled coldly.

Although the truth was more or less the same, if Deputy sect leader Zong dared to admit it, the reputation of the sword spring sect would be completely ruined!

“Hehe … Sima Yi, you really have a sharp tongue!”

The Vice sect leader squinted his eyes and stared at Lin Yi,”Forget it, this Lord can’t bear the bad reputation of bullying new disciples. If you’re not willing to hand over the spoils of war, this Lord won’t force you!”

If there was no one else present, the Deputy sect leader might have taken it by force. Unfortunately, elder Wu was not the only one here. Even elder Qin, who had a superior status, was here. It was really inconvenient to take action.

He thought that with his status as the Vice sect leader, Lin Yi would be happy to get it for him.

Who would have expected that the plot would not develop according to the script at all!

If it was any other outer sect disciple, not to mention the Vice sect leader personally coming, who would dare to disobey if he just sent a disciple to pa.s.s on the message?

“Then we have to thank Deputy sect leader Zong for his magnanimity!”

Lin Yi had a mocking smile on his face as he cupped his hands casually.”Next, should we announce the reward for the mission?”

“Of course! I came here personally for this matter!”

The Vice sect leader hmphed, pretending not to hear Lin Yi’s mockery. “You’ve done well in the rank eight mission this time. Although you didn’t meet the expectations of the sect, you’ve gained a certain amount.”

At this point, the Vice sect leader’s cold eyes swept over Lin Yi. He paused for a moment before continuing,”According to your contribution, you outer disciples will be rewarded as follows …”

Ling Hanxue, Jin Yuan Bao, Zhang Yiming, and Li Yingjian were called out one by one. Ling Hanxue, who had partic.i.p.ated in the whole process, received the most generous reward. Jin Yuan Bao and the other two who stayed behind to guard the cliff also received a considerable amount of points.

Only Lin Yi, who was a part of the entire mission and played a decisive role, didn’t get any rewards!

“Vice sect leader Zong, why didn’t eldest senior brother Sima get any reward?”

When Ling Hanxue heard the last part, she could not help but step forward to defend herself.”If it wasn’t for eldest senior brother, I’m afraid we would have all died in the ruins of the great witch of ghost Yin! Why do we all get a reward but not eldest senior brother?”

“Ling Hanxue, watch your att.i.tude! Who are you to speak to me like this? If you don’t want the reward, you can refuse!”

The Vice sect leader glanced at Ling Hanxue coldly and snorted.””Originally, I didn’t need to explain to you, but today I’ll make an exception and let some people know why!”

“Although you said that the mission was a success, you didn’t hand in the spoils of war. The sect can be said to have gained nothing at all. Not only that, we even lost a few elite disciples! You can call it a success, but you can also call it a failure!”

“Sima Yi is not willing to hand over the spoils of war and has taken all the benefits of the mission. The sect has given out points to compensate the other members of the mission. Could it be that he wants the sect to compensate him as well?”

In the end, it was because Lin Yi didn’t want to hand over the loot that he was targeted!

To Lin Yi, this was something he’d expected and completely accepted.

“Sister Xue, vice sect leader Zong is right. You don’t have to say anything more!”

Lin Yi stopped Ling Hanxue from arguing and continued to mock the Vice sect leader,””Deputy sect leader Zong is really dedicated to the public. He is indeed impartial and fair!”

Even a fool could hear the sarcasm in his words. However, Deputy sect leader Zong just laughed coldly and didn’t care at all.

“Sima Yi, you’d better think it through. This Lord will wait for you to change your mind at any time! As long as you hand over the spoils of war, your contribution in the mission will naturally be extraordinary. At that time, the rewards will definitely satisfy you!”

After the threats and promises, the Vice sect leader nodded at elder Qin and left, not giving Lin Yi any more chances to mock him.

“Elder Qin, I’ll take my leave as well … That, Sima Yi, you think about it …”

Elder Wu was a little embarra.s.sed-after all, he’d been through life and death with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi was his Savior. This was a little embarra.s.sing for him, so he quickly left with the Vice sect leader after saying goodbye!

“Sima Yi, come with this old man for a moment. The rest of you can disperse first!”

Elder Qin waited for the two big shots to leave before he waved his hand and dismissed Ling Hanxue and the others, pretending to be cold.

Lin Yi knew that elder Qin didn’t want to reveal their true relations.h.i.+p, even if Ling Hanxue and the others were his trusted aides. So, he didn’t mind. He whispered a few words and followed elder Qin to the cultivation peak.

When they arrived at elder Qin’s place, the two of them sat down. Elder Qin then revealed a sincere smile.””Zhong da, it’s really a great fortune that you can return safely this time!”

Only those who truly cared about you would care about your safety first, not about what benefits you gained.

Lin Yi’s heart felt warm. Elder Qin was like a family member, an elder. He was also one of the few people Lin Yi acknowledged on the sub Island.
