“You haven’t gotten the reward?” Maisie’s frown deepened.
Caspian was not an idiot, and he quickly caught something from Maisie’s expression and tone.
After pondering for a moment, Caspian asked, “Maisie, is something wrong?”
“Wait for me.
Let me ask.” Then, Maisie took out a messenger, wrote a few letters, and sent the message.
As she waited for a reply, Maisie looked at Caspian, saying, “Based on what I know about your trip to the Hopeful Woman Mountain with the others, you all not only killed monsters but even killed the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples and Tigreal.
As it’s an amazing contribution, the sect discussed the number of rewards for you all when the news reached us.
If I remember the time correctly, the rewards should’ve been given to all of you three days ago.”
Caspian shook his head.
“Not only me, but everyone else hasn‘t received their rewards either.”
“Hmm… I’ve asked about it, so we should get a reply soon,” Maisie poured another cup of spiritual tea for Caspian, “Let’s just wait…”
As they waited, about an hour passed, and Maisie did not look good.
Then, he took out another messenger and quickly wrote a few words.
That time, Caspian felt the severeness of the subject through Maisie’s actions.
Not long after the messenger was sent out, Maisie received a reply.
However, Maisie’s face immediately darkened when she glanced at the content.
When she noticed that Caspian was looking at her, Maisie passed the messenger she just received to Caspian.
“The contributions made by Casper and other disciples are doubtful, so the rewards have not been issued…”
When Caspian read the first line, he was stunned.
“Doubtful?”
In other words, the sentence meant Caspian and the other disciples were suspected of fraud, and the sect wanted to verify the incident.
After hunting the monsters, Caspian and the others brought back the demon cores.
After killing the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples, Caspian and the others brought back the Ninth Sacred Sect’s disciples’ jade identification badges.
As for killing Tigreal and the others, they could not bring back the opponents’ heads as they had a unique teleportation method.
However, dozens of disciples witnessed the incident, and other disciples also made a special trip to check on it.
Hence, there should be no objection to that.
Yet, there was a sudden reply that mentioned the contributions were doubtful.
Not only that, but it also showed that Caspian and the other disciples were suspected of possible fraud.
From a certain point of view, that attacked Caspian and the others’ credibility and character.
Moreover, it was an attack carried out despite many facts being laid out.
A hint of gloominess appeared in Caspian’s eyes.
Even with a large amount of evidence, their contributions were still doubtful.
If not so many disciples witnessed the matter, Caspian could not help but wonder what would be written instead.
Nonetheless, Caspian did not lose his calm even though he was discontented.
After all, based on his understanding of the Heavenly Stars Sect, the sect would not do such a thing without reason.
Then, Caspian looked at Maisie.
“Maisie, where did you get the news from?”
“The Dazzling Stars Palace.” Maisie’s expression was somewhat unsightly, and it was obvious that she was rather dissatisfied with the wordings about Caspian in the news, especially when she cared for him so much.
The Heavenly Stars Sect’s Dazzling Stars Palace was responsible for the appointment and dismissal of the sect’s personnel and distributing rewards for the disciples.
