Chapter 432: 432
The Cangxuan Sect . Mission Hall .
The misty peak was as bustling as it usual, countless figures arriving from all directions, and landing in front of the grand hall at the top of the mountain .
It was at this time that Zhou Yuan and gang returned to the Cangxuan Sect after two months .
The first place they headed to was naturally the Mission Hall .
When the group led by Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu stepped into the hall, excited gaze after gaze immediately shot towards them .
“It’s senior sister Li Qingchan and her team!”
“Have they completed their Heaven level mission?”
“Looks like it . With the two Chosens senior sister Li Qingchan and senior brother Zhao Zhu leading the team, even a Heaven level mission is no challenge . ”
“How envious . From the looks of it, Bai Li, Qin Hai and the rest will soon have a Heaven Credit in their pockets . ”
“……”
Numerous whispers spread in the grand hall, before several of the watching gazes suddenly paused . They had discovered Zhou Yuan positioned right behind Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu .
This position was very close to the core of the group, second only to Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu .
The crowd recalled that Zhou Yuan had been stationed at the back of the team when they left the Cangxuan Sect, a position that would basically be overlooked by everyone because of his lack of value to the team .
So why was Zhou Yuan now standing so near to the core?
This was way too shameless of him!
Several individuals secretly curled their lips . Zhou Yuan had only managed to obtain a spot on the team previously due to Li Qingchan’s strong support, a fact which made many veteran purple disciples pretty unhappy . From what everyone could see, Zhou Yuan hoping to get a freebie Heaven Credit by shamelessly clinging onto Li Qingchan .
Such actions were truly disgraceful .
“Humph, his skin is still as thick as before . But let’s see how long he’ll be able to keep this up . Even if he did manage to become a member of the team, the only thing he’ll be able to do is be a freeloader in a Heaven level task . In fact, he likely ended up having zero contributions, and was given a ‘no credit’ appraisal . ”
These words quickly drew approval from several others . A Heaven level mission was not over once you got a place on the team . If your performance was not up to par during the mission, you would still fail to obtain a Heaven Credit .
In their opinion, the only thing Zhou Yuan had was the turtle shell defensive technique he had revealed in the duel against Wang Lei . However, just that technique alone was clearly not going to cut it in a Heaven level mission .
Many of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples in particular, had mocking looks on their faces, as if eagerly waiting for the show to start .
Bai Li was walking beside Zhou Yuan, and likewise sensed the whispers around them . She smiled playfully at him and said, “It seems that many people are waiting to see you be embarrassed . ”
Zhou Yuan chuckled helplessly . This was nothing but normal . A newly promoted purple sash disciple like himself managing to participate in a Heaven level mission should make everyone else envious .
“But I’m afraid they will be very disappointed once they find out . ” Bai Li was clearly enjoying the situation .
Some of the other team members laughed, while Qin Hai and the other Sword Cometh Peak disciples lowered their heads in embarrassment . Most of the surrounding disciples waiting to watch Zhou Yuan humiliated were from the Sword Cometh Peak .
Li Qingchan swept a backward glance at Zhou Yuan from the front . Everyone was currently crowding around the latter, a little like the moon surrounded by the stars . Their attitudes towards him were clearly much better after returning from the mission .
Back when they had just left for the mission, the others were clearly not too fond of Zhou Yuan . Even Bai Li had only talked to him on account of her friendship with Li Qingchan, though it had admittedly been quite a half-hearted effort .
The reason behind this was undoubtedly because they had felt Zhou Yuan would only be a burden to them, and was not worthy of their attention .
However, Zhou Yuan’s battle with Yang Xuan had clearly awed Bai Li, Qin Hai and the other veteran disciples .
Only then did they realize that this person, whom they had all neglected, was actually hiding so many astonishing trump cards .
It was this very reason that led to Zhou Yuan transformation from an always overlooked character to the star of the show on their way back . To be honest, Bai Li was definitely being way too friendly .
Li Qingchan rolled her eyes Bai Li for her lack of shame, before walking straight towards the counter for handing in missions .
At this moment, several figures stepped forward from the crowd . It was Xu Yan, Wang Lei, Lu Xuanyin and other Sword Cometh Peak disciples .
“Hehe, congratulations senior brother Zhao Zhu on your triumphant return!”
Xu Yan cupped his fists together with a wide smile, fully appearing as if he was here to give his congratulations . However, their gazes occasionally glanced behind towards Zhou Yuan, not bothering at all to conceal the gloating looks within them .
These people were obviously waiting here to watch Zhou Yuan lose face .
By the side, a sliver of malignant pleasure flitted across Lu Xuanyin’s eyes . She no longer dared to cause trouble after being taught a painful lesson by Zhou Yuan during the purple sash selection, but she was still naturally more than happy to watch him suffer .
