Another week slipped by.
It had now been twenty days since Han Yu had submitted his mission report to Elder Hei. He'd spent the days cultivating, restoring his Soul Qi with the stray Eight Emotions Energy wisps that came to him, testing techniques, and refining his plans, but one thought continued to poke at the back of his mind like a persistent fly:
'Where is my reward?'
He had submitted a report of high importance—possibly even sect-shaking. The feedback from the Eight Emotions Energy had made that clear enough. In the first few days after submission, pulses of emotion-infused energy had erupted from the Twin Leaf Peaks every hour or so.
It didn't take a genius—or even a particularly clever Han Yu—to figure out the cause.
Han Yu smirked at the memory.
