Chapter 281 - 281 Jealousy

Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Jealousy Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Jealousy Jiang Fan was speechless.

How did everyone know about him?

He said sheepishly, “Elder Ling, you’ve humored me. I am indeed that disciple of the Green Cloud Sect, Jiang Fan.”

However, Elder Ling’s reaction left Jiang Fan completely surprised.

“So, you really are Jiang Fan from the Green Cloud Sect!”

Elder Ling showed a kind smile, looked him up and down, and said:

“No wonder the Sect Master values you so much. Not to mention anything else, just your loyalty and righteousness just now are commendable.”

Uh—

Sect Master of the Desires Sect?

...

But I have never met her!

Jiang Fan even felt a sense of illusion, wondering if he had returned to the Spirit Beast Sect.

Because in the Nine-Sect Alliance, only Gong Caiyi had valued him so much.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Fan was completely bewildered.

Yu Zijin was also stunned. The Sect Master valued Jiang Fan?

Valued him as a disciple with no Spirit Root?

Yi Lianxing, Qin Caihe, and Chu Xingmeng looked at each other in confusion.

Impossible, right?

Jiang Fan just saved a female disciple from the Desires Sect named Yue Mingzhu, and now he was highly regarded?

“Yu Zijin, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign for Young Master Jiang’s mission items.”

“The Sect Master is waiting to see him.”

What?

The Sect Master wanted to see Jiang Fan?

Yu Zijin was completely at a loss, and hurriedly said, “What about my punishment…”

Elder Ling gave her a sidelong glance: “Since you helped Young Master Jiang, why would you be punished?”

As she spoke, Elder Ling pulled out a pill from her pocket.

“Here, this is your reward for taking good care of Young Master Jiang.”

Yu Zijin caught it in shock.

Opening the bottle and seeing what was inside, she was stunned: “An Extreme Joy Pill?”

She immediately showed an expression of delight: “Thank you, Elder Ling! Thank you for your reward!”

All the disciples around from the Desires Sect stared with wide eyes.

“What a joke, this is a reward only given to disciples who have made great achievements.”

“Our Chief Disciple, Senior Brother Xie, gets only one pill per year.”

“And Yu Zijin gets one for just helping Jiang Fan a little?”

“This is too unfair, right?”

This scene also made Sun Chaozong furious.

Yu Zijin not only didn’t get punished, but she also received an amazing reward for helping Jiang Fan.

He grunted angrily: “Elder Ling, I will immediately write a letter…”

But Elder Ling interrupted him directly, saying offhandedly, “Write whatever you want!”

She had been with the Sect Master for decades.

This was the first time she’d seen the Sect Master care so much about someone.

So, no matter how much she protected Jiang Fan and those related to him today, the Sect Master would back her up.

Even if the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion handed out a punishment, the Sect Master would defend her.

There was no need to worry about any complaint.

Sun Chaozong clenched his fists.

He couldn’t understand why Elder Ling was so protective of Jiang Fan.

He couldn’t help but grunt: “So what, just transporting a few birds, what’s the big deal?”

“Is it worth such importance?”

At that moment.

Yu Zijin, full of joy, had already finished her registration, filled with excitement.

“This mission carried out by Jiang Fan, Yi Lianxing, Qin Caihe, and Chu Xingmeng is classified as a First Layer mission!”

While recording this, Yu Zijin only glanced in surprise at the Thousand-mile Eagles.

The value of these eagles was beyond her expectations.

However.

When recording the merit points for this mission, she was scared stiff on the spot.

“The merits for this mission are… equal to… 400 points!”

What?

“How much? Four hundred? That’s impossible!”

Sun Chaozong utterly disbelieved: “An ordinary First Level mission grants only a hundred merit points!”

“Even the hardest Super Level 1 mission grants only two hundred points.”

“How could it be four hundred?”

“Is your eyesight failing?”

Yu Zijin rubbed her eyes, carefully verified the four jade scrolls, and confirmed she was not mistaken.

She insisted, “It is indeed 400 merit points.”

At this moment.

Elder Ling became unsettled herself, stepping forward with an incredulous expression:

“Let me see.”

She compared the four jade scrolls, her face showing traces of shock:

“It really is 400 merit points!”

“The mission itself is a Super Level 1 difficulty task, with a reward of 200 merit points.”

“The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion also gave double rewards for missions involving the Spirit Beast Sect.”

“So, the total merit points for the mission are 400!”

This revelation caused an uproar among everyone present.

Envious eyes, red with jealousy, darted around Jiang Fan and his team.

The discussion was fervent.

“Completing a First Layer mission equals finishing four First Layer missions.”

“They shot to the top in one step!”

“Jiang Fan and those two female disciples struck lucky.”

“They clung to Yi Lianxing’s coattails and got 400 merit points for nothing!”

“Seeing them get such an outrageous reward just pains me!”

Even Yu Zijin couldn’t help but look on with envy.

Biting her lips slightly, she said: “Lianxing, why didn’t you think of me for such a good job?”

“Focusing only on men!”

“Plastic sisters! We’re done!”

Sun Chaozong felt incredibly bitter.

The mission reward turned out to be real!

What made it worse was that one of the beneficiaries was Jiang Fan, a so-called waste.

He looked sharply at Jiang Fan: “Pretty boy, just a gigolo!”

“Green Cloud Sect is just full of trash like you!”

But.

Right then, Elder Ling’s face showed astonishment. She could hardly believe it:

“The task executor is… Jiang Fan!”

“Young Master Jiang, you… you were their leader?”

Even she had subconsciously assumed earlier that Yi Lianxing was the leader of the mission.

She thought Jiang Fan and the two other female disciples were just tagging along for the mission.

But the information on the jade scrolls was the exact opposite!

Chu Xingmeng blushed and lowered her head, saying: “I have been teammates with Senior Brother Jiang since the Supreme Sect.”

“We started with a Third Level mission.”

“Thanks to Senior Brother Jiang’s guidance, I shamelessly followed him on this Super Level 1 mission.”

“I don’t deserve the 400 merit points.”

Qin Caihe also turned red, saying: “I am only at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment and am not qualified to take on a First Layer mission.”

“But Junior Brother Jiang, with his benevolent heart, thought of his teammates and brought me along.”

Yi Lianxing, too, was slightly embarrassed.

She coughed lightly and said, “Though I have some cultivation, there were many dangers along the way; Junior Brother Jiang handled them all single-handedly.”

“My contribution was minimal; I was merely in charge of driving the carriage.”

“Shameful, shameful.”

Everyone was stunned.

They could bear the speeches of the first two women.

But what shocked them was that Yi Lianxing, a talented disciple from the Spirit Beast Sect, was also supported by Jiang Fan!

So, how strong was Jiang Fan?

They couldn’t believe that this rumored waste disciple could have such prowess.

Only Elder Ling wasn’t doubtful.

Because she trusted the Sect Master’s judgment, which wouldn’t favor a genuine waste disciple.

This disciple named Jiang Fan must have extraordinary talent.

“Young Master Jiang, your prowess is truly remarkable. I underestimated you.”

Sun Chaozong listened, feeling particularly annoyed.

He couldn’t accept that the waste from the Green Cloud Sect turned out to be the team leader for this mission.

With a look of disdain, he said: “What remarkable prowess?”

“They just got lucky and didn’t encounter any danger!”

Yu Zijin frowned in frustration and said, “As if you encountered great danger yourself.”

Ha!

Sun Chaozong laughed coldly, saying: “Of course! Not everyone has the luck of a waste like Jiang Fan!”

“On my route, I encountered a giant bird that emitted electricity all over its body!”

“Both my companions perished, and I barely survived to protect the mission items!”

Everyone was alarmed.

Teaming up with someone like Sun Chaozong, whose physique and strength were comparable to the First Layer of Core Formation, meant that his companions were at least above the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

They all perished, indicating how formidable that bird was.

Sun Chaozong’s survival was a miracle in itself.

In comparison, Jiang Fan’s team, which was not the top in strength, transported top-level items without a scratch.

It was sheer luck.

Yu Zijin shut her mouth reluctantly.

Feeling embarrassed.

Attempting to speak for Jiang Fan and his team, she had ended up being harshly corrected.

Jiang Fan couldn’t be bothered to argue further and said, “Senior Sister Yu, please go ahead and sign for the Thousand-mile Eagles quickly.”

Yu Zijin nodded and immediately led a few disciples to remove the shackles from the eagles’ feet.

Suddenly.

She found a giant claw that couldn’t fit in a whole carriage coming into view.

Curious, she pulled it out and realized it was twice her height. Speechless, she said:

“So… so large!”

“Junior Brother Jiang, what kind of terrifying creature is this claw from?”
