If the boss needs help, everyone will naturally do their best to help.
Qin Fei was particularly good at instigating, saying that Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun were going to cause trouble. This also aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people in the Jinlan Society.
For an organization to have cohesion, external enemies are very important. With enemies, everyone has a point to exert their strength and it is easier to unite and cooperate.
The blood moon disaster killed two thousand trial warriors. After a brutal bloody battle, the remaining warriors, regardless of their personalities, had a bloody comradeship between them, which naturally brought them together.
They will also spontaneously reject the trial warriors who did not participate in the bloody battle.
In their eyes, the trial warriors who did not participate in the bloody battle were all traitors and cowards. They were shameful and hateful.
Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun were undoubtedly the representatives of traitors. Now these two were going to cause trouble again, which made everyone very angry.
All the high-ranking officials left only one fragment of the evil god, and the rest were handed over to Gao Xuan. Dozens of high-ranking officials, each of them had three or five fragments left on them. Collectively, there were a total of 113 fragments.
When giving statistics to Gao Xuan, the statistician confirmed it twice.
Most of the warriors who had taken the trials before had only one fragment of the evil god, and the most they had were only three or five. Those who had more than ten fragments were rare.
The fact that so many evil god fragments appeared in one person's hands really shocked the statisticians.
It took the statisticians half an hour to complete the statistics of the trial and report them to the higher-ups of the temple.
Taking advantage of this time, Chief Examiner Huang Yingyue, Deputy Chief Examiner Yuan Ping and the temple’s top management made a brief summary report.
With so many trial warriors dying, there has to be an explanation.
After listening to the two's explanation and playing some battle videos recorded by personal light computers, many high-ranking officials of the temple also accepted their explanation.
This is indeed an uncontrollable natural disaster and an irresistible accident.
The evil spirits are so brutal, it is a blessing that the warriors can survive so many trials.
Yuan Ping and Huang Yingyue both emphasized Gao Xuan's importance and praised his performance. They believed that Gao Xuan's performance in this operation was brilliant, showing his ability, courage, and wisdom, and he was a role model for trial warriors. Even a role model for Templar Knights.
The two men praised Gao Xuan so much because, on the one hand, Gao Xuan's performance was really outstanding and he made great contributions.
On the other hand, only by highlighting the cruelty and bloodiness of this war can they clear the label of incompetence from them.
Huang Yingyue finally said: "I suggest rewarding Hei Hu handsomely and reporting his deeds to the headquarters for reward."
Huang Tingdao nodded, "Such a big thing happened during this trial, we need to investigate it all before we can draw a conclusion."
An elder of the temple asked, "Why didn't Cao Ye come back? What happened to him?"
Huang Yingyue took a look at the other person. Sure enough, this person was from the Cao family. She shook her head and said, "I haven't seen Cao Ye since entering Night Demon City. However, there is a strong source of energy left by Cao Ye in the center of the battlefield. But Cao Ye has disappeared..."
Huang Yingyue didn't care whether Cao Ye lived or died. As an invigilator, if she couldn't protect herself, she couldn't blame anyone else if he died.
Night Demon City is so big and the situation is so complicated. If someone is missing, they can't find him even if they want to.
The elder was silent for a moment and then asked, "Could someone have plotted against Cao Ye?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned serious.
Cao Ye is a silver-badged warrior and an important leader of the Temple Executive Group. Although he is young, he has a very high status.
If Cao Ye was killed by his own people, it would be a huge matter. This matter would be even more serious than the death of two thousand trial warriors.
Huang Tingdao asked the elder with a serious face: "Do you have any evidence?"
The elder was not afraid of Huang Tingdao. A rising young master of the Cao family had died, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly.
No matter how angry Huang Tingdao was, he had to give the Cao family an explanation.
The elder also said coldly: "If I had evidence, I wouldn't ask."
He paused and said, "I'm not saying anything, but Cao Ye's ability alone is enough to make him one of the top three among all the invigilators. None of the chief invigilators were injured when they encountered the blood moon catastrophe, so why did Cao Ye get into trouble? There is obviously something wrong here!"
None of the many high-ranking officials in the temple spoke. The elder's words were a bit extreme, but they also made some sense.
With Cao Ye's abilities, how could something unexpected happen to him
Cao Ye's popularity has been growing in recent years, and there are even rumors that Cao Ye will be promoted to the chief warrior sooner or later.
The chief warrior is the highest commander of a temple, also known as the master of the temple.
What this elder meant was that he suspected someone in the Holy Hall was trying to harm Cao Ye in order to fight for power, and he even pointed the finger at Huang Tingdao.
In fact, this statement is far-fetched and even a form of flattery.
The source power level of the Yunguang Star Domain is extremely high. If one wants to serve as the chief of the Templar Knights, one must at least be a Gold Belt Saint.
With Cao Ye's strength alone, he won't be able to touch the golden belt for another one or two hundred years.
Huang Tingdao knew very well that this elder deliberately questioned in public in order to make a big deal out of the matter.
Whether as the hall master or to prove his innocence, he must do his best to get to the bottom of the situation.
Huang Tingdao also found it a bit strange. Although Cao Ye's momentum was very strong, he would not allow other families to plot against him.
Moreover, it is not that easy to kill Cao Ye.
He said: "I will investigate Cao Ye's matter as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation..."
Huang Tingdao had said so, so the elder could not continue to ask. The other side was the warrior leader, the golden belt saint.
There are many golden elixirs in the Yunguang Star Region. Huang Tingdao may not be the strongest, but his status is undoubtedly the highest. If Huang Tingdao is really annoyed, things will become very troublesome.
Huang Tingdao took the summary report of the trial warriors, took a look at it, and had a brief communication with other senior executives before announcing the top three of this trial in public.
"First place, Hei Hu, second place, Zhao Ying, third place, Cao Jinyun..."
Because there are so many people who have passed the trial this time, the list will be sent to each trial warrior via email.
Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun were both a little angry after hearing the result. Especially Zhao Ying, she gritted her teeth and said, "I knew Qin Fei was here to deceive us!"
Qin Fei was also gritting her teeth. According to Zhao Ying and Cao Jinyun's results, they would definitely get the top two places.
The two of them had agreed to it nicely before, but they turned around and played this kind of trick.
Qin Fei was actually very smart. She discussed the matter with the other party in a very open manner, but she thought she had a sure win and there was no need to play any tricks.
Although she was angry, she did not go to find the other party. Fortunately, Gao Xuan was mature and prudent, and temporarily gathered the evil god fragments to get the first place.
To be honest, the seventh-grade divine crystal is extremely precious. It is more valuable than the second and third place prizes combined.
She didn't really lose this round, she was just fooled by the opponent, so she felt a little resentful.
Besides, it was a bit embarrassing that Gao Xuan asked her to do something for the first time and it turned out like this.
Qin Fei is young after all, so she shows it on her face when she has something on her mind.
Gao Xuan comforted him softly, "It's good to be the first. It's useless for me to have the Divine Crystal. You take the Divine Crystal and see if you can exchange it for a copy of Pure Yang Thunder Method."
"Pure Yang Thunder is only a seventh-grade secret technique. Leave it to me."
Qin Fei patted her chest and made the promise.
Divine crystals are consumables, and once used, they are gone. Secret arts do not have this restriction. It is only in order to control the secret arts that the Holy Temple can impose various restrictions.
There is no problem in exchanging the seventh-grade divine crystal for three seventh-grade secret techniques.
Qin Fei is a direct descendant of the Qin family and is very familiar with the situation here, so she dared to give Gao Xuan a guarantee.
The warriors who passed the trial received badges on the spot representing their official warrior status.
All warriors are bronze warriors, the lowest level. To upgrade their rank, they need to accumulate merits.
The temple has a complete points system. As long as you earn enough points, you can upgrade your warrior level.
The level of the Templar is very important. Different levels have different treatments and obtain different resources.
Of course, if one wants to rise to a higher position in the temple, it is not enough to just raise the warrior level, but one also needs a higher position level.
The Temple is such a large organization, with complex internal factions and extremely fierce power struggles.
Gao Xuan entered the Holy Hall without thinking of gaining power. With his current small stature, he was not qualified to participate in the power struggle.
As a low-level warrior, he only needs to practice step by step to improve his warrior level.
When you achieve the golden elixir and get the golden belt, we can talk about other things.
It is because of this idea that Gao Xuan doesn't care about Jinlan.
If these young people organize themselves into organizations out of enthusiasm, there will be almost no possibility of development.
All the trial warriors were beaming with joy after receiving the official warrior badge. They had been working hard for this since they were young, and now that their wish had finally come true, how could they not be happy
These trial warriors were not very old, and they were not cunning enough to hide their emotions. There was no need to do that.
Although there was no noise or bustle in the hall, there was a sense of joy and happiness.
This kind of emotion was very contagious, even the high-level officials like Huang Tingdao looked a little more relaxed.
Seeing this group of energetic young people, they all recalled the past.
No one mentioned Cao Ye's affairs anymore.
Finally, Huang Tingdao gave a summary speech, congratulating all the warriors who passed the trial and praising their bravery and wisdom in the trial.
Among them, the name of Black Tiger was mentioned many times.
Huang Tingdao did not mention the dead trial warriors. There was no need to talk about this at this happy moment.
Becoming a full-fledged Templar, everyone received new housing.
Because Gao Xuan was the first, he was eligible to choose his own house. He chose a top floor apartment, which was only 100 square meters, but had an independent rooftop.
The optical computer was extremely efficient and authorized Gao Xuan in just one second, giving him full usage rights to the house.
Qin Fei also suggested that everyone go out for a drink and relax, but Gao Xuan declined because he didn't want to join in the fun with a group of boys and girls.
Deep down, he was already old.
On the other hand, after so much trouble, he was a little tired.
Qin Fei understood very well and didn't force Gao Xuan. She just said that she would get the secret method done as soon as possible and go find Gao Xuan when she was done.
After coming out of the main hall, Gao Xuan went straight to his room under the guidance of the computer.
This building has a high-tech style and a simple and bright layout. The same is true for the room decoration. Everything is in order.
Gao Xuan checked and found nothing unsafe in the room. He then took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He was exhausted in the thirty days since entering Night Demon City, especially after killing Cao Ye, following the blood moon catastrophe, and refining the Moon Sword. Each of these things was very exhausting.
Gao Xuan's soul made great progress in this process, but he was also extremely tired and needed a rest. His soul also needed a thorough rest.
When Gao Xuan's consciousness emerged from the depths of his sea of consciousness, all his tiredness was swept away, and his soul was full of vitality.
Gao Xuan played with the refined Mingyue Sword for a while before his consciousness returned to his body.
Gao Xuan clicked on the bracelet and projected a virtual light screen. Several people left him messages on it.
Among them, Qin Fei left the most messages. Gao Xuan clicked on the message and read it. It turned out that Qin Fei had already obtained the Pure Yang Thunder Method. Qin Fei also informed him that the Holy Hall would hold a meeting tomorrow and asked him to attend it.
Most of the other messages were polite greetings, with members of the Jinlan Society expressing their concerns.
Gao Xuan responded one by one and finally contacted Qin Fei.
When Qin Fei received Gao Xuan's message, she immediately ran over to see Gao Xuan.
"Wow, boss, your room is so big. I'm so envious."
Qin Fei wandered around Gao Xuan's room very casually, with a look of amazement and envy on her face.
She was not exaggerating, the treatment of low-level paladins was good, but it was nothing compared to her family conditions. Her room was only 50 square meters, which was too shabby compared to Gao Xuan's.
Qin Fei handed Gao Xuan a round hard drive the size of a coin, "Boss, this is the Pure Yang Thunder Method, I got it from my family. Don't take the divine crystal, you can keep it for your own use."
"That won't work."
Gao Xuan took the hard drive and said, "One thing is one thing. The things in your house are not yours. The fact that we have a relationship is another matter."
Of course Gao Xuan couldn't ask for this favor for nothing, as the relationship between the two parties had not reached that point yet.
Besides, he didn't want to establish too deep a relationship with the Qin family.
Seeing Gao Xuan's firm attitude, Qin Fei did not refuse. However, she couldn't help but look up to Gao Xuan in her heart.
This boss came from a low-income family, but he was able to grasp the right measure, especially his magnanimity, which is really amazing.
Qin Fei suddenly said with a smile: "I heard a good news. Tomorrow the conference will give the boss a formal reward for your outstanding performance in the trial."
"Oh, there is such a good thing."
Gao Xuan smiled and said, "If there is a reward, I will treat you to a meal."
Qin Fei said with certainty: "There is no way it can be wrong. I heard that this time it is a big reward. The boss is going to give it out..."
Speaking of this, Qin Fei's face showed a hint of envy.
It was very rare to receive a huge reward from the headquarters. Gao Xuan was very proud of himself this time.
If he continues to develop at this pace, Gao Xuan will have a bright future.
Qin Fei's family also has high hopes for Gao Xuan. Although he is old, he is capable of doing great things.
"By the way, I heard one more thing."
Qin Fei's eyes rolled, and a look of righteous indignation appeared on her face. "Someone in the Holy Hall is saying that it was the boss who killed Cao Ye. People who spread rumors like this are really hateful!"
"Um?"
Gao Xuan showed just the right amount of doubt.
Qin Fei hurriedly explained to Gao Xuan: "Cao Ye was our invigilator. He disappeared for some reason. The Cao family believed that Cao Ye was assassinated by his own people. They made a list of suspects, and you were on the list..."
Qin Fei said this while carefully observing Gao Xuan's expression, but didn't see any clues.
Gao Xuan asked curiously, "Why do they suspect me?"
"Because there is a woman named Yu Ning. She is Cao Ye's companion and also our invigilator."
Qin Fei said: "They all said that Yu Ning had a grudge against you, Boss, and this time they came here specifically to seek revenge on you."
Gao Xuan nodded: "That's true. However, Cao Ye's death has nothing to do with me."
"Of course I believe the boss."
Having said that, Qin Fei's expression looked a little strange.
To be honest, Gao Xuan had enough motives to commit the crime. Moreover, he was very powerful. It was possible for him to kill Cao Ye.
Because of this, after much investigation by the Holy Temple, Gao Xuan naturally became the biggest suspect.
Of course, it was just a suspicion. Basically, no one believed that Gao Xuan could kill Cao Ye.
Even with the ninth-grade flying sword in Gao Xuan's hand, it might not be able to break the holy armor on Cao Ye's body. Not to mention that Cao Ye also had a powerful magic weapon on him.
Qin Fei reminded: "Boss, this matter is very serious. They may ask you to swear in front of the statue of the Emperor..."
It is certainly easy to swear an oath, but it is absolutely impossible to tell a lie when swearing in front of the statue of the Divine Emperor.
Because the core of all holy warriors is the seed of divine power, once they tell a lie in front of the statue of the God-Emperor, strange phenomena will immediately appear.
In severe cases, the divine rune seed may even shatter on the spot!
To be honest, Qin Fei was a little worried about Gao Xuan... If Gao Xuan really did this, then he was completely finished!
