Chapter 5887: Not Enough contribution points

"You! Fine! This mission failed, so the Sect must punish you. Do you have any objections?"

"None! What objections could I have? Do as you please."

"Good." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded and scanned the other Grand Elders.

"Everyone! How do you think Xiao Fan should be punished?"

"Hehe… Regarding this matter, I don't think Xiao Fan is entirely to blame. After all, the difficulty of both missions was very high," Supreme Elder Xuan Shang said with a smile.

He wanted to be a peacemaker and do Xiao Fan a favor.

Even if it didn't succeed in the end, Xiao Fan would still remember his kindness.

"Thank you, Grand Elder Xuan," Xiao Fan said with a smile, cupping his hands toward Grand Elder Xuan.

"Hehehe… You're too polite. I'm just telling the truth," Supreme Elder Xuan Shang nodded.

"And you? What are your thoughts on this?" The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect looked toward the other Grand Elders.

The most troublesome part of this matter was actually Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang's attitude.

If Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang refused to let Xiao Fan off, then in the end, Xiao Fan could only be severely punished.

The other Grand Elders all expressed that Xiao Fan's two failures were excusable.

The only one who had remained silent was Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang.

Everyone's gaze fell upon Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang simultaneously.

"Grand Elder Fang, what do you think?" the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect asked.

"Me?" Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Fan and then at the others.

What did he think?

How would he dare to have an opinion?!

If it weren't for the many people in the hall, he would have wanted to kneel and bow to Xiao Fan!

"Cough… Regarding this matter, I think… Elder Xiao is indeed excusable," Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang coughed dryly and said slowly, "Let's just leave it at that. No need for punishment."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Ah? Grand Elder Fang, are you serious?!"

"I am," Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang nodded. "Elder Xiao has rendered great service. A mere failure in one or two missions is not worth mentioning. It's a small matter."

Everyone fell silent, looking at each other.

They wondered if Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang and Xiao Fan had already reconciled in private.

Is that why Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang was acting so out of character?

It must be!

"Hehehe… Since Grand Elder Fang has said so, Elder Xiao, we won't punish you severely."

The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect smiled and said, "I'll punish you with a hundred years' worth of contribution points and three medium-level missions. Do you have any objections?"

"None! The Sect Master's punishment is fair!" Xiao Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Very well, then it's settled." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded with satisfaction. "If there's nothing else, everyone is dismissed."

The Grand Elders cupped their hands slightly and turned to leave.

Xiao Fan smiled and was about to turn and leave.

"Xiao Fan! Wait a moment!"

"Ah? What is it, Sect Master?" Xiao Fan was stunned and turned to look at the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect.

Only after the Grand Elders had left did the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect speak.

"Xiao Fan, what is the situation between you and Grand Elder Fang?"

"Our misunderstanding has been resolved. He won't target me in the future," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Oh! That's good then! Very good." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded contentedly.

"Then, Sect Master, if there's nothing else, I'll be going?"

"Hehehe… There is something else."

"Oh? What else is there? Please speak, Sect Master."

"Xiao Fan, before you joined the Shuihan Sect, where was your homeland? Did you have any Masters?" the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect asked with a smile.

Xiao Fan had joined the Shuihan Sect as an Honorary Elder.

An Honorary Elder is technically an Elder, but not part of the Shuihan Sect's core.

Xiao Fan had defeated Fang Nan and demonstrated great strength.

Therefore, the Shuihan Sect changed its attitude toward Xiao Fan and intended to focus on nurturing him.

But before nurturing him, they needed to investigate Xiao Fan's origins and background.

The Shuihan Sect sent people to investigate, but found nothing about Xiao Fan's origins.

"Hehe… I never had a Master. Actually, my name wasn't Xiao Fan originally; I changed it," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Changed your name? Then what was your name before?!"

"My name was… Wei Zhongshan."

"Wei Zhongshan? A good name." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded and looked at Xiao Fan with a smile.

Xiao Fan knew very well that the other party was waiting for the rest of the story.

Xiao Fan smiled and began to talk incessantly.

Fabricating such a story was easy for Xiao Fan.

The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect looked astonished and nodded repeatedly.

"I never would have thought! Elder Xiao, your experiences have been quite perilous. Good, good, your potential is limitless."

"Thank you for the compliment, Sect Master."

Xiao Fan nodded and bowed to the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect with cupped hands.

"Hehehe… Elder Xiao, you must perform well from now on and bring glory to our Shuihan Sect, understand?"

The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect walked up to Xiao Fan and patted his shoulder.

"I understand! Sect Master, I understand everything!" Xiao Fan nodded.

"As long as you understand. If you encounter any trouble in the future, remember to tell me."

"Trouble! I do have some."

"Oh? What trouble? Speak up."

"I don't have enough contribution points," Xiao Fan shook his head and sighed softly.

"That's easy to handle." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded, took out his own Token, and directly gave Xiao Fan ten thousand contribution points.

"The Sect Master is indeed generous. Thank you, thank you."

"Hehehe… It's only right. Elder Xiao, Cultivate well, understand?"

"Understood."

Xiao Fan nodded and turned to leave.

Actually, if Xiao Fan lacked contribution points, he could have completely demanded them from Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang.

Fang Shenyang wouldn't dare not to give them.

But since the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect had said so, why wouldn't he take advantage of a free handout?!

If he didn't take advantage of it, it might even make the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect suspicious.

Xiao Fan didn't intend to leak the matter between him and Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang.

Otherwise, it might delay his becoming a Guard for Immortal King Ting Yue.
