254 Double Rewards 254 Double Rewards “Why say this?”
Gong Caiyi was a bit puzzled.
With Jiang Fan’s strength in killing the Black Lotus Bandits, he should at least take on a first-level task.
Executing a second-level task should pose no difficulty, right?
Where did this “dare not” come from?
Jiang Fan showed a thoughtful expression and said, “I suspect that your Spirit Beast Sect is being targeted.”
“The reason the Black Lotus Bandits ambushed at the border of the Spirit Beast Sect and Supreme Sect”
“is likely to hijack the Demon Wolf Spirit Beast escorted by Senior Sister Zhang Xuemou.”
At first, Jiang Fan also thought the ambush was for him.
But upon careful consideration, the Spiritual Medicine they were escorting was of no use to the Black Lotus Bandits.
Until he encountered Zhang Xuemou’s team, he suddenly realized.
Gong Caiyi’s eyes sharpened: “Are you saying someone sold information to the Black Lotus Bandits?”
Zhang Xuemou’s task wasn’t a secret, but it was only known within the Spirit Beast Sect.
How did the Black Lotus Bandits know and ambush on the necessary route?

Clearly, someone within the Spirit Beast Sect leaked the information.
Jiang Fan slightly shook his head, “It’s not necessarily just sold to the Black Lotus Bandits!”
“Nowadays, calamity is imminent in the Nine-Sect Land, and people are anxious.”
“Acquiring important strategic resources has become the top consideration for any power.”
“And the spirit beasts of the Spirit Beast Sect, which can assist in combat, are definitely one of the most important resources.”
“There’s no reason only the Black Lotus Bandits are targeting you.”
Upon hearing this,
Yuan Zhiyu and other young disciples were all shocked.
Ming Youlian, however, gave Jiang Fan a deep look.
Although she was very annoyed that Jiang Fan had embarrassed the Heavenly Sound Sect, she had to admit, this guy possessed wisdom beyond his years.
Before the Nine-Sect tasks began, the Sect Master had discussed with her that some sects within the Nine-Sect Land would be targeted by unknown forces.
The Spirit Beast Sect was a key focus.
She didn’t expect a junior like Jiang Fan to have such exceptional insight.
In contrast, their own disciple Fu Chaohun hadn’t realized this at all.
“Very impressive!” Gong Caiyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled:
“You possess a comprehensive perspective at such a young age, it will be hard for you not to achieve success in the future.”
She was lavish in her praise.
“You’re right,” Gong Caiyi said seriously, “Our Spirit Beast Sect is indeed a primary target for looting.”
“I reported this to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion a long time ago.”
“To encourage disciples to actively complete tasks, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion doubled the rewards for our sect’s first-level tasks.”
“Completing one is equivalent to two first-level tasks from other sects.”
Upon hearing this,
even Jiang Fan couldn’t help but be tempted.
Executing tasks for the Spirit Beast Sect was certainly risky, but the rewards were extraordinarily lucrative!
“So, if you want to give it a try, you can choose from these important first-level tasks.”
“If you’re concerned about safety, I can also find some third-level tasks for you.”
Gong Caiyi was generous towards Jiang Fan.
Simple third-level tasks were usually reserved for mid-level disciples to earn merit points and weren’t open to outsiders.
Only Jiang Fan was given such a privilege.
After a long consideration, Jiang Fan said, “I’ll choose a first-level task.”
Firstly, the rewards were indeed enticing.
Secondly, he wouldn’t feel right taking third-level tasks from the mid and lower-level disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect.
“I knew you would choose a first-level task.”
Gong Caiyi pointed to several jade scrolls, “Pick one first.”
This made Fu Chaohun, who was watching, secretly unhappy.
