Chapter 440 Half Reward

"Young man, I don't understand what the palace master means." Xiao Yi instantly suppressed the horror revealed in his brows.

Then he shook his head calmly and said.

The palace master smiled and said, "Yes, you can restrain yourself so quickly, you are really smart."

"However, as soon as you receive the news that the demon hunting order has been revoked, you will immediately leave the demon hunting hall."

"You don't even care that I'm about to leave seclusion. I have something urgent to do with you."

"If you are in such a hurry, don't tell me that the Demon Hunting Order you redeemed and issued was for someone else."

"Not for your family."

"Has the Palace Master investigated me?" Xiao Yi's face suddenly turned cold, even a little ugly.

"Not really." The palace master shook his head.

"The staff member is just reporting your matter to me as a routine."

"But something so obvious is easy to guess."

Xiao Yi's request to revoke the demon hunting order is a secret to other branch hall masters.

The staff won't tell you.

But for the palace master, this is not a secret, and the staff will naturally report it.

After the palace master came out of seclusion, he learned the news.

There is no need to investigate at all, you can guess it directly.

At this time, the palace master continued, "As for the family behind you, you can rest assured that I did not investigate."

"After all, it's your private matter."

"Furthermore, as I said before, the Demon Hunting Hall will never intervene or participate in any disputes between forces."

"Of course, because of this sentence, I have to postpone your assessment."

As he spoke, the palace master's tone became a little solemn.

"If it's just a small fight, that's it."

"But, with your current reputation, identity, status and strength, Ziyan Yixiao."

"You still have to wear a mask all the time, but you can't reveal your identity and show your true face to others."

"Prove that your private grudges are by no means trivial."

"The issues involved in this grudge, or the power of the characters, are by no means trivial."

After the palace master finished speaking, he said in a deep voice, "Until you resolve these grievances, you are not suitable to be the next palace master."

"Ha." Xiao Yi smiled when he heard this, and the original awe in his heart completely dissipated.

As long as the palace master does not investigate the Xiao family.

As long as his identity is not related to the Xiao family.

Then it doesn't matter.

A small family like the Xiao family is too fragile in the face of real big forces.

It is not suitable to be involved with people and things at this level, no matter whether the involvement is good or bad.

As for the next palace master.

Xiao Yi was even more indifferent.

He believes even more that strength is everything.

If you have the spare time to be a palace master and deal with piles of files every day, you might as well practice or practice more.

At this time, it was the palace master's turn to frown.

"Boy, what do you mean by your meaningless smile?" the palace master said dissatisfied.

"Well." Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "It doesn't mean anything."

"It's just that since the palace master said to suspend the assessment, I just have to obey."

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"You brat." The palace master scolded, "Do you think that the position of palace master is so dismissive in your eyes?"

There is no doubt that the palace master is a powerful person.

Regarding the two meetings he had with Xiao Yi, his two guesses were almost all correct.

It is only easy to see Xiao Yi's thoughts now.

"The master of the hall has misunderstood." Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "The position of the master of the Demon Hunting Hall is very important."

"Unless you are a fool, how can you not be greedy?"

"Of course the boy also hopes to sit in this position."

"It's just that the boy has other grudges and has to live up to the palace master's good intentions."

"Huh." The palace master snorted coldly.

"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid you would rather be a fool than have any interest in the position of the Lord of the Palace."

Xiao Yi just wanted to say something.

The palace master said with a serious face, "I have decided that you are the successor, and that is you."

"Resolve your grudges as soon as possible, I'm waiting for you."

The palace master looked directly at Xiao Yi, his expression extremely serious.

Xiao Yi was stunned, but he was not speechless at the words of the palace master.

It was the look in the palace master's eyes at this moment that left him speechless.

Xiao Yi was all too familiar with this kind of look looking at him.

He had only seen it from a few seniors such as Xiao Chong and Yi Lao.

That is a kind of real recognition, affirmation, and attention.

Perhaps it was an instruction from the heart.

Xiao Yi put away his previous disdain and said seriously, "I'm afraid the boy's grudge cannot be resolved in a short time."

The palace master smiled and said, "So I ask you to solve it as soon as possible and do your best."

"It doesn't mean you have to solve it in a short time."

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

"If there's nothing important to do, I'll take my leave."

"Slow down." The palace master said, taking out something from his arms.

That's a token.

"Get my token later, go to the treasure house, and get half of the reward first."

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned and said, "But the boy's assessment has not been completed yet."

"You have completed two." The palace master smiled.

"No need to say more about the first one."

"Second, although you have not reached the Tianyuan realm, your strength and level have already been reached."

"In Yanlong Continent, strength is respected, not cultivation."

"Strength is the most powerful proof, above cultivation."

"Therefore, you will be considered to have completed the second assessment."

"You haven't completed the third assessment yet."

"I will give you half of the reward first."

"This..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you, Palace Master." Xiao Yi bowed seriously.

He knew that this was the palace master's good intention.

After taking the token, Xiao Yi saluted again, then turned and left.

Footsteps, just walked to the door.

Behind him, the slightly caring voice of the palace master sounded again.

"If nothing can be done, come back to me."

Xiao Yi's footsteps suddenly paused, and the next second, he smiled knowingly.
