Chapter 295 I Know You Are Anxious, but You Don’t Have to Be so Anxious
In fact, Qin Jianji already knew what happened.
On the way here, Tian Yixin had already roughly recounted the whole process. Now asking was just to create a suitable excuse.
He turned his head and looked at Zhao Ya, "Zhao Ya, what happened?"
Facing Qin Jianji, Zhao Ya naturally couldn't be rude. After bowing and bowing, Zhao Ya said.
"I received a task at the contribution office of the master yesterday, and then went out to carry out the task. Because of the delay on the road, I couldn't come back at night. As a result, this elder Xia grabbed it and started to hold me accountable. In fact, if it was just like this, it would be fine."
"The key is that he slandered me and insisted that I went out to pick flowers and steal willows and do whatever I wanted. How could a disciple dare to admit such a crime? Therefore, in a moment of anger, I argued with Elder Xia. This is what happened."
Zhao Ya was neither humble nor arrogant, and recounted the matter clearly.
Qin Jianji also listened and nodded secretly.
He knew Xia Jiye too well, so he naturally understood why he did this.
But that's why he was worried that Zhao Ya would do something radical again because of his youth, and then there would be no way to end it.
But now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Thinking of this, Qin Jianji pretended to be angry and blamed: "No matter what, it's not your fault that you didn't come back all night? Elder Xia did this for your own good, fearing that you would learn bad things outside. You don't have to feel wronged. Apologize to Elder Xia, and this matter will be over."
These words were openly blaming Zhao Ya, but secretly defending Zhao Ya, meaning that as long as he bowed his head and apologized, this matter would be over.
Zhao Ya naturally understood this truth, and in fact, Zhao Ya didn't think there was anything wrong with bowing his head to apologize temporarily.
The situation is stronger than people. After all, Xia Jiye is an elder of Canglong Temple. It's too early for him to fight with him now, and it's right to bow his head and admit his mistakes first.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jiye refused to give up. He sneered and clapped his hands softly, saying, "Well, Elder Qin, you are a good person who knows the big picture. You want to get away with just a simple confession?"
"Or do you think the temple rules of Canglong Temple are just for show?"
Qin Jianji's face changed instantly when he heard this.
Because Xia Jiye was relentless and brought up the temple rules, he obviously wanted to make a big deal out of it.
Qin Jianji said in a deep voice, "Of course the temple rules are not just for show, but even according to the temple rules, not returning home overnight without reporting is not a big mistake, right?"
"But the problem is that this guy stayed out all night under the pretext of doing a mission, which is very abominable. After all, no one knows what he did outside. If he commits a crime and damages the reputation of Canglong Temple, who will be responsible?"
"You..." Qin Jianji was also annoyed by Xia Jiye's nonsense and random speculation.
At this moment, Zhao Ya on the side suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Jiye frowned and asked.
"Nothing, I just feel that Elder Xia's sincere love for the temple is really touching." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"Don't try to be so, I'm just doing my job. If you have the ability, you can show evidence to prove what you did last night, otherwise you must be severely punished." Xia Jiye said with a righteous face.
In his opinion, Zhao Ya's words just now were obviously showing weakness.
But the more so, the more he can't let him go, he must teach him a profound lesson.
Also let him know the majesty of himself as a master of passing on skills.
"In other words, as long as you can prove what I did last night, this matter will be over?"
"You can say that." Xia Jiye was very sure.
He didn't believe that Zhao Ya really went out to carry out a mission all night. At this age and with this appearance, he probably went to find a woman, so he was so sure.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya was not afraid at all. He reached out and took the oilcloth package from his waist, and said lightly: "Okay, you want proof, right? Here is the proof."
As he spoke, Zhao Ya opened the oilcloth package and revealed the head inside.
Instantly, the whole audience was in a violent commotion.
No one expected that Zhao Ya actually carried a head with him.
Xia Jiye was also stunned, and then sneered: "It's just a dead head, what can it prove?"
"Of course it can't prove anything, but if this head is the target of my master's mission this time, what about the bandit leader Hei Yunzi?" Zhao Ya said coldly.
These words caused another wave of waves.
"What? This is the head of Heiyunzi?"
"How is it possible? This Heiyunzi is extremely cunning. I went to investigate him at the beginning, but I returned empty-handed. In addition, it is now snowy and the mountain is closed, so the difficulty of catching him has increased sharply."
"The key is that he just received the mission yesterday, and he came back with Heiyunzi's head after one trip. This speed is too fast."
People talked about it, but most of them were skeptical.
Xia Jiye didn't believe it.
He just sneered and said, "It's really funny. You just bring back a head and say you have completed the mission? Who knows whose head this is? Maybe you killed someone and took credit for it."
Zhao Ya knew he would have such doubts, so he just smiled slightly.
"Whether it is true or not, follow me to the contribution office of the sect and let the people there check it. If it is fake, then I am willing to accept the punishment. What do you think?"
"Okay."
Xia Jiye immediately nodded in response.
"But if this head is real, what should you do?" Zhao Ya didn't rush to leave, but asked with a smile.
For a moment, Xia Jiye hesitated.
Because Zhao Ya looked so confident, he felt a little unsure.
But now that the words have been said, Xia Jiye has no way of turning back, so he can only say: "If it is true, then I will apologize to you in public."
"Okay, it's settled, let's go."
Zhao Ya immediately agreed, turned around and walked towards the direction of the teacher's contribution office.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit, wanting to see how the excitement would end.
Qin Jianji took a few steps, lowered his voice, and asked with some worry: "Zhao Ya, are you sure?"
"Don't worry, Elder Qin. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't make this bet with him." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"That's good." Qin Jianji nodded, feeling really annoyed.
After all, Zhao Ya was brought in by him, and he was considered one of his disciples. However, this Xia Jiye was so unkind and deliberately made things difficult for Zhao Ya. Isn't this equivalent to a slap in the face?
When this matter is over, I will definitely find a chance to make you look good.
Qin Jianji thought secretly in his heart.
At the same time, Zhao Ya also arrived in front of the division's contribution office. At this time, a group of people had gathered in front of the door, all of whom came to watch the excitement after hearing the news.
Zhao Ya ignored these strange looks and walked in with his head held high.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in charge of the division's contribution office was still sitting behind the table drinking. When Zhao Ya, Xia Jiye, Qin Jianji and others came in, he just glanced up and then laughed.
"Why is it so lively today, even two elders are here?"
"Elder Shen, I have something to trouble you with today." Xia Jiye said with a smile on his face.
Even though his attitude towards Zhao Ya was so bad outside, he was very respectful when facing this sloppy middle-aged man.
Because this middle-aged man with an unspectacular appearance was the proud son of Canglong Temple back then, and his strength was unfathomable. However, he later suffered some stimulation due to the split battle, and since then he has retired to this sect's contribution. Just don't show up anymore.
Xia Jiye naturally did not dare to neglect such a person.
Shen Yunshen smiled when he heard this. In fact, he already knew what was going on.
To be honest, he didn't believe it when he heard that Zhao Ya, who had just received the mission from him yesterday, actually brought back Hei Yunzi's head.
After all, this is too fast.
Although Hei Yunzi's strength was not very good, he was cunning and wary by nature. Canglong Temple sent people to encircle and suppress him several times but failed.
Can Zhao Ya do it alone?
This does sound weird.
But when he saw Zhao Ya walking in with a human head in his hand, he immediately confirmed that it was true.
Even though he just sits and drinks in the division's contribution room every day, looking very leisurely, in fact this job is not something that ordinary people can do.
Because you need to have extremely broad knowledge and vision, so that you can accurately identify whether the task has been completed.
After all, when faced with this highly rewarding sect mission, there is no guarantee that someone will not use their mind and engage in fraud.
At least Shen Yunshen has seen too many such things.
But he recognized Heiyunzi's head at a glance.
Because there is a secret archive in the division's contribution office, which contains a detailed introduction to the division's mission objectives.
Although this Heiyunzi is cunning, he has not been seen in front of others. Based on this, Canglong Temple sketched a portrait of him.
So after hearing Xia Jiye's inquiry, Shen Yunshen just glanced at it and then said to Zhao Ya.
"Okay, I can catch this big bandit in one day. I really have two brushes."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent instantly.
Especially Xia Jiye's face turned pale in a flash.
Zhao Ya smiled, walked to the table, and placed Hei Yunzi's head on the table.
"I was just lucky. I wanted to check for traces first, but I happened to find their lair. I was afraid that they would run away again, so I just took action."
Shen Yunshen nodded with satisfaction, "That's it."
At this time, Xia Jiye finally couldn't bear it any longer and said in a solemn voice: "Elder Shen, are you sure this is the Hei Yunzi?"
"What? Are you doubting my vision?" Shen Yunshen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his drunken eyes suddenly burst out with a captivating brilliance.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I just think it's too incredible. You must know that Hei Yunzi is the leader of the bandits. If he is dead, what about his subordinates?"
Xia Jiye obviously didn't dare to say anything, but he still raised questions in a roundabout way.
"Haha." Zhao Ya suddenly laughed, and then said: "Elder Xia, I know you are anxious, but you don't have to be so anxious, because I will talk about this next thing."
"In the mountains and forests fifteen miles northwest of Xiushui Town, there are the corpses and heads of Hei Yunzi's gang. I placed them all together and left a mark. I ordered a few people to come and take a look."
Xia Jiye's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Because he knew that he lost, and he lost miserably.
Shen Yunshen didn't care about that. After writing down the location mentioned by Zhao Ya, he sent several disciples to investigate and verify.
He neatly signed for Zhao Ya's sect task list, and then gave him an exquisitely shaped sign.
There is Zhao Ya's name engraved on it, and there is a line of numbers below.
Two hundred.
It is Zhao Ya's contribution to the sect.
"Congratulations on completing the task. To be honest, when you received the task yesterday, I thought you couldn't complete it. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly. It seems that I am shallow." Shen Yunshen said with a smile.
He always speaks frankly and directly. If he is wrong, he is wrong. It's no big deal to admit it in public.
But Xia Jiye can't stand it.
He has always attached great importance to his authority. He will be furious if his disciples are a little slack, let alone apologize to others in public.
So he looked at Zhao Ya, hoping that this disciple would not be ungrateful and take back what he said just now.
But Zhao Ya was not willing to accept his tricks.
If Zhao Ya used to be polite to him because he was the elder who passed on the skills, now his face has been completely torn, so naturally there is nothing to say.
So Zhao Ya looked at Xia Jiye with a smile.
"Elder Xia, you've seen it all. I didn't do anything wrong, let alone commit any crime, so let's keep our promise."
"You..." Xia Jiye was furious.
Qin Jianji was about to intervene when he saw this.
He didn't want Zhao Ya and Xia Jiye to get too upset.
But at this moment, Shen Yunshen, who was sitting behind the table, suddenly drank a sip of wine happily, and then said lightly.
"Elder Xia, we are all elders of Canglong Temple. Now there are so many disciples watching, so we must set a good example for them, especially we must not break our promises. What do you think?"
Xia Jiye's face was livid, and he nodded stiffly, "Yes, I understand."
Then he walked in front of Zhao Ya, clasped his fists, and said, "Zhao Ya, I misunderstood you before, I'm really sorry."
Zhao Ya nodded, "I hope Elder Xia will not misunderstand me like this in the future, I can't bear it."
Xia Jiye was very angry, but in front of Qin Jianji and Shen Yunshen, he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only leave with his people in disgrace.
The rest of the disciples looked at Zhao Ya with complicated eyes, and many people secretly applauded, thinking that it was so relieved.
Because Xia Jiye was usually mean and often made things difficult for his disciples, he was very unpopular.
Now seeing Zhao Ya actually make him lose face in public, these people were of course happy.
Invisibly, Zhao Ya, who had been unknown since entering the temple, suddenly became much more prominent in the eyes of these disciples.
Zhao Ya ignored all this. After thanking Qin Jianji and Shen Yunshen, he took the contribution card and left the contribution place, and then went straight to the library.
Now he has completely torn his face with Xia Jiye, and he will never go to the Chuanwu Hall in the future. Fortunately, after these days of study, he has learned everything that a disciple of Canglong Temple should learn, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go.
But Zhao Ya knew in his heart that Xia Jiye would never give up.
If he wants to gain a foothold in Canglong Temple, he must improve his strength as soon as possible. As long as he can open his meridians successfully, Xia Jiye can only sigh in vain no matter how much he dislikes him.
To put it bluntly, strength is the root of everything.
So Zhao Ya did not dare to delay at all, and immediately came to the library, preparing to improve his boxing skills that were close to the breakthrough point.
