Chapter 1572 Missed Assessment

"Portrait?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly, then suddenly realized.

No wonder the staff member recognized him just now.

It stands to reason that since he is wearing a mask, it would be difficult for outsiders to recognize him without an accurate face.

Moreover, there are too many demon hunters or warriors walking around in masks in such a large Central Realm.

He, Xiao Yi, was among the crowd, wearing a mask, but he was just an inconspicuous ordinary warrior.

However, if these staff members had been prepared and had the portraits to observe, they would be able to roughly recognize them from the brows if they looked carefully.

These staff members have all been demon hunters who have traveled abroad and have rich experience.

Moreover, they usually have the title of ordinary deacon, which naturally looks good to them.

Furthermore, as the Hengyuan area is one of the famous large areas, the staff here in the main hall are naturally even more capable.

"Why are you looking for me, Lord?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.

Since this palace master guessed wrongly that he would come here and distributed portraits to let the staff recognize him, he probably wanted to see him for something.

"This is not something that my subordinates know." The staff member smiled awkwardly and said, "I only know that the master of the palace has ordered that if you really come, he will bring you to the audience."

After saying that, the two of them happened to arrive at the study room in the back hall.

The staff member said, "I have already notified the hall master. Yi Xiao, the hall master, can go in by himself."

After saying that, the staff bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.

Xiao Yi frowned, opened the door and entered.

Inside, you can see a desk in front of you. On top of the desk, an old man is reviewing files.

The person in charge of the Demon Hunting Hall is always very busy.

Every time Xiao Yi saw these palace masters, they were reviewing files.

The old man had obviously noticed Xiao Yi's arrival, put down the file and smiled.

The old man motioned for Xiao Yi to step aside.

Xiao Yi walked to the chair next to the desk and sat down.

The old man glanced at Xiao Yi, nodded, and said with a satisfied smile, "You are indeed a formidable young man. The Master of Yi Xiao Branch Hall is so young and has such strength and achievements. It is really remarkable."

Xiao Yi bowed slightly and asked, "I wonder why the master of the palace is looking for me?"

Xiao Yi didn't want to waste time and asked directly.

Logically speaking, he holds the title of deputy hall master of the main hall in Fengcha Hall and Shura Hall.

According to level, if you are of the same level as this palace master, you do not need to salute.

But now he is Yi Xiao, and the palace master is obviously a senior, so he should just give an ordinary senior courtesy.

"It's not a big deal." The old man waved his hand and said, "It's just that I guessed that you might come to the main hall of Hengyuan."

"And I have always heard of the reputation of the master of Yi Xiao's branch hall, so I just want to meet him."

Xiao Yi nodded.

Follow his walking route and walk all the way east.

This palace master is the master of the main palace. He is naturally very capable, and we can guess that he may have come to the main palace of Hengyuan.

Xiao Yi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "If there is nothing important, I have to deal with the task, so I will take my leave."

"Haha." Hearing this, the old man smiled, motioned Xiao Yi to sit down, and said, "There's no rush."

"I have always heard that the master of the Yixiao Branch Hall is vigorous and resolute. When I saw him this time, he really lived up to his reputation."

"However, this is not enough time to chat with me."

Xiao Yi frowned, nodded, and sat down again.

"A few days ago, the main hall issued a summons to the master of the branch hall Yi Xiao." The old man said, "Do you know about the master of the branch hall Yi Xiao?"

"Call?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't know."

"As expected." The old man smiled bitterly and said, "About half a year ago, the assessment of the inheritance place in the main hall started, and 10 geniuses from the Demon Hunting Hall need to participate."

"Long before this, the master of Yi Xiao branch hall had already become famous in Fangcun area, Sifang area and other places."

"Although I heard that your merits were not enough at that time, the main palace reluctantly decided that you were shortlisted and gave you the tenth spot."

"It's just that later on, you, the master of the branch hall of Yi Xiao, disappeared, and the main hall couldn't find you, so you gave up and gave the tenth spot to someone else."

"I never thought that, Master Yi Xiao, you didn't pay any attention to this matter and didn't know anything about it." The old man smiled bitterly.

Xiao Yi also smiled lightly.

Half a year ago, the main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall gave him a place, but he didn't know much about it.

But at that time, he went to Fengcha Hall and Shura Hall to participate in the inheritance assessment.

Therefore, even if the main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall gave him a quota, it would be useless and he would not be able to go.

But of course, his achievements at that time were only just enough to qualify for inclusion in the main hall of the Demon Hunting Hall.

Unable to find him, the main palace directly gave the spot to someone else.

Naturally, the matter fell into disuse later on. If Xiao Yi didn't go to find out more about it, he wouldn't know much about it.

At this time, the old man continued, "The master of the Yi Xiao branch is dedicated to hunting monsters. He doesn't care about these false reputations. There is no doubt that he is a responsible and outstanding monster hunter."

"However, the master of the Yi Xiao branch is not a rookie demon hunter who has just started to work. He should know that the title can bring you greater rights and benefits."

"The master of the Yi Xiao Branch Hall doesn't care about these false fame and benefits, but the Demon Hunting Hall can never be ashamed of you."

"So I brought this up specifically today because I wanted to ask the branch master of Yi Xiao whether he wants to be promoted to the title of deputy hall master."

"Promoted to a title?" Xiao Yi suddenly wondered.

It turned out that the palace master came to him for this reason.

The old man nodded and said, "You have two choices, either, serve as the deputy hall master of the main hall, and I will report it for you."

"It's just that it takes a long time to report."

"Alternatively, you can take up the title of deputy palace master in my main palace, and I will also report it to you."

"But the processing time will be much faster."

Xiao Yi heard this and thought for a while.

The Hengyuan Main Hall is just an ordinary main hall, not one of the ten main halls.

Therefore, if you want to report it, you must first go through the ten main halls and then report it to the main hall.

In this case, the processing time would be at least ten and a half days, or even longer; after that, he would have to come back here to receive orders and complete the promotion procedures.

It's quite troublesome.

And if you serve as deputy hall master in this ordinary main hall, you only need to report to the ten main halls.

In terms of time, it's much faster.

The old man can also help him handle those troublesome procedures.

"If I work here, how long will it take to process?" Xiao Yi asked.

It is said that he serves in this main hall, but it is just a name here.

The Demon Hunter Palace will not interfere with the whereabouts, departure or stay of the demon hunter, etc.

It's just a title upgrade and more rights.

The old man's eyes lit up and he said, "If you take up the position of deputy palace master here, I can help you handle it in ten days at most."

"Ten days?" Xiao Yi frowned and shook his head, "It's too long. I may not stay in this area for too long."

"This..." The old man looked disappointed.

"Forget it, I'd better thank the palace master for his kindness." Xiao Yigong handed over his hand, "I will handle the matter of promotion to the title myself in the future."

"But..." The old man frowned.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "Evil cultivators are rampant nowadays, and troubles caused by evil cultivators often break out in various regions."

"I still have to prioritize killing, and there can be no delay."

"Okay then." The old man also knew which was more important and nodded.

"Farewell." Xiao Yigong cupped his hands and turned to leave.
