Chapter 167: Reassessment An Unaware Scamming
Despite the increased security and ongoing investigation, the trail had gone cold.
No footprints, no suspects, not even a lingering spiritual residue. The sect’s elders, frustrated by the lack of progress and mounting pressure, finally turned their attention back to pending affairs—one of which had sat quietly at the bottom of their docket.
"Outer Court Disciple Han Yu’s reassessment."
The name seemed like a joke amidst the recent chaos, but a few elders remembered the decision they had made upon his unlikely return from death. Some had even assumed he’d quietly fade back into obscurity or collapse from residual damage. But since then, Han Yu had not only recovered—he’d been too quiet.
"Well," Elder Xiang said with a sigh, "we may as well cross this off the list."
The time of reassessment.
Han Yu stood on the central platform, wearing his most modest sect robes and a convincingly humble expression. Around him were half a dozen elders, two array masters, and a spirit formation guardian beast that looked bored enough to eat its own tail.
He had no idea this many people would show up. Part of him wondered if they were still low-key investigating him.
"Han Yu," one elder began, "due to your miraculous survival and prolonged absence, your cultivation status and potential must be reassessed. Do you object?"
"Of course not, Elder!" Han Yu replied cheerfully. "I’ve always dreamed of being judged!"
The elders gave him a look, but decided not to engage.
