Chapter 921: Why did she come?

Xu Tian didn't explain further, but directly took out the copper coin he had removed from the bulletin board when he accepted the mission, as well as the mission instruction manual, and placed them on the table in front of the mentor.

The mentor stared at the copper coin for a long time and then picked up the mission instruction manual.

First-grade bounty mission: Duel with Zhong Yu of the Azure Wolf Hall and achieve victory...

"This mission..." The mentor's brow furrowed even tighter.

As far as he knew, this first-grade bounty mission had been released for a long time, but no one had ever dared to challenge it, let alone complete it; not even a single person had taken the mission.

"You took this mission?" The mentor finally looked at Xu Tian squarely this time, but there was no appreciation in his eyes, only deep suspicion.

"Exactly, and I have already completed it." Xu Tian answered.

"Are you kidding? That's a first-grade mission!"

"This is a place to verify missions; you can't just brag! Do you think you've completed the mission just by removing the copper coin?"

Xu Tian's words caused an uproar in the surroundings.

"How could you possibly defeat Zhong Yu of the Azure Wolf Hall? Do you know who Zhong Yu is?"

"You're lying in front of the mentor verifying the mission; you're going to be punished..."

Many fourth-grade bounty hunters crowded over to watch the excitement.

They had seen many who bragged as soon as they entered the villa, but this was the first time they had seen someone dare to brag so big.

"Looking at your posture, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were a high-grade bounty hunter. But looking at the badge, you're just a fourth-grade small character. Just by you, you can complete a first-grade mission?"

"It's not too late for you to apologize to the mentor now. If the mentor really pursues this, you won't have a good end!"

Xu Tian listened to the crowd's ridicule and frowned unhappily.

However, he was too lazy to argue with these guys who only judged people by their appearance, and instead said to the mentor in front of him.

"Please verify my mission."

"Did you really complete it?" The mentor raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xu Tian was about to take out the video to show the other party for verification when he heard footsteps behind him.

Immediately after, a gloomy voice sounded.

"This person is a traitor who absconded and betrayed the villa. Come here, take him down!"

Wu Wannian and Wu Qiankun walked out of the crowd and came straight to the front of Xu Tian and the others.

"Absconded?"

"Betrayed?"

The mentor responsible for fourth-grade bounty missions, as well as the low-grade bounty hunters around, were all stunned.

The mentor even stood up directly and blocked in front of Xu Tian, as if afraid he would run away.

Xu Tian didn't panic, just looked coldly at the uncle and nephew Wu Wannian and Wu Qiankun. He really wanted to know how these two would turn black into white.

"Senior Brother Wu, you say he betrayed the villa?" The mentor asked Wu Wannian for confirmation.

"That's right, he is a traitor!" Wu Wannian said decisively, his words firm.

"But..."

Not only the mentor, but even the low-grade bounty hunters around felt strange.

Xu Tian was only a fourth-grade bounty hunter. If he didn't want to stay in the villa, he just needed to write a withdrawal application. No one cared about his leaving or staying, so how could he abscond?

Although they all looked down on Xu Tian's posturing, this absconding and betraying was a taboo in the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa and even the entire bounty hunter industry. It would ruin one's future at best, and might even cost one's life at worst.

"Mentor Wu, did you make a mistake? This junior brother should have arrived at the villa not long ago. Although he is not very steady, he shouldn't have the guts to abscond and betray the villa, right?"

A fourth-grade bounty hunter explained for Xu Tian.

"And he's a newcomer, and doesn't know the internal core secrets of the villa, so he can't cause any loss to the villa at all. Judging him to have absconded and betrayed just like that, isn't it a bit rash?"

"What did you say?" Wu Wannian straightened his face, putting on the airs of a mentor, and stared fiercely at the person. "Are you saying my judgment is wrong? What are you, that you dare to question me?"

"The student doesn't dare..." The person hurriedly lowered his head, cold sweat dripping. "I just feel that this doesn't conform to logic, and I don't mean to question you..."

"Senior Brother Wu, you say this kid absconded and betrayed the villa. When did this happen?" The mentor asked Wu Wannian for confirmation.

"I previously issued fixed missions to those fourth-grade bounty hunters. This kid didn't perform them seriously, but instead went to the bulletin board on the villa square and took a first-grade bounty mission. How could a first-grade bounty mission be something he, a fourth-grade bounty hunter, could complete? Knowing he couldn't complete it, even if he returned to the villa, he would be punished, so he absconded privately!"

"So that's how it is." The mentor suddenly realized.

Fourth-grade bounty hunters could only do some low-grade missions to accumulate experience and couldn't complete first-grade missions at all.

This kid boasted and was then unable to get off the tiger's back, so it was indeed impossible to end well.

But even so, his final end would only be being expelled from the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa, or at most being beaten with a hundred sticks to serve as a warning. That would be better than absconding.

Although the mentor also felt that Xu Tian's act of absconding and betraying the villa didn't conform to logic, since Wu Wannian, his direct mentor, said so, if he questioned him again, wouldn't he be giving Wu Wannian no face?

In terms of seniority, Wu Wannian was his senior brother. He wouldn't offend Senior Brother Wu for the sake of an insignificant low-grade bounty hunter.

"I'll notify the high-level management of the Supervision Department." The mentor said.

Once a traitor who absconded appears in the villa, it must be reported to the Supervision Department to be handled by them.

Not long after, people from the Supervision Department arrived at the scene.

"You say a fourth-grade bounty hunter betrayed the villa?" The high-level member of the Supervision Department raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing the ordinary-looking Xu Tian.

As a high-level member of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa's Supervision Department, he had handled many traitors, but this was the first time he had encountered a traitor with such a low grade.

Seeing that the people from the Supervision Department had arrived, Wu Wannian hurriedly walked over and told the high-level member what he had just said to the mentor again.

Hearing this, the high-level member narrowed his eyes and said coldly to Xu Tian.

"In that case, I'll take you into custody first and wait for the Supervision Department to deal with you!"

After saying that, the high-level member of the Supervision Department waved at the members of the Supervision Department behind him.

"Take him away!"

"Yes!" Several members received the order and were about to step forward to make an arrest.

Just at this moment, a cold voice came from behind the crowd.

"Wait."

The crowd turned their heads and found a young woman with an outstanding appearance walking over.

"Isn't this Qiao Yuqing?"

"She is the one with the highest talent among the many outer disciples of Elder Su!"

In the crowd, people began to whisper.

"I heard that some time ago, she was officially accepted as a disciple by Elder Su, and now she is no longer considered an outer disciple..."

"Why did she come?"

Xu Tian also looked sideways slightly. After seeing the person, he immediately remembered that the other party was the woman he had seen near the bulletin board before. ===== CHAPTER 922 =====
