    Chapter 2727


    Elder Eliot frowned as he muttered under his breath, “Look at how Rick can still drink his tea and chat


    away. It seems like he doesn’t know how bad the consequences of his actions can be.


    “If we lose, Phoenix Valley will be hurt gravely, be it in terms of our reputation or our offers. Things would


    be much harder for us in the future. We’re already in a dangerous position in the first ce. Do you think


    he’s just stupid or overly selfish?”


    Elder Baggins sipped his tea and grumbled, “It’s probably a mix of both. Others don’t know, but we as


    elders know what’s at stake here. The main rights to the Whirling World have always been in the hands


    of us and the Unbreaking Pavilion.


    “The only reason Sky Peak Pavilion ispeting with us is to gain more benefits in the Whirling World. If


    we lose, we’d just be giving Sky Peak Pavilion a piece of what’s ours for no reason.


    “Worse still, our reputation will crumble, too! Anyone with half a brain would understand how important


    this is, but Rick doesn’t seem to care at all. He’d do anything to get rid of Jackie, not bothering to think


    things through, even using this tournament! It’s obvious that he’s aggressively vain!”


    Elder Eliot had a bitter look on his face as he asked, “Does he not know that we’ll find the root cause of


    the loss if he loses in the tournament? The merit logs clearly wrote that he was the one who


    rmended Jackie. Rick wouldn’t be able to escape it. Does he think he won’t be held responsible?”

    Elder Baggins raised an eyebrow and snorted. “He’s not that stupid; he knows that he’ll have to take


    responsibility. He’s being this rxed, drinking his tea and chatting his minutes away, probably because


    he doesn’t think we’ll lose at all.


    “If the final result is a win, he won’t be punished. Instead, Jackie will look like he dragged down


    everyone. Jackie would be punished, even if they won the tournament. Elder Maurice, who brought them


    to Sky Peak Pavilion, would start to hate Jackie because Jackie had failed the team.


    “The merit logs will make Jackie’s bad result seem even worse, and he might even be kicked out of


    Phoenix Valley because of this.


    “Rick would’ve won.”

    Hearing that, Elder Eliot’s scowl deepened. The others did not know, but Elder Eliot had witnessed first-


    hand Jackie’s talent and skill. If Jackie was punished because of this, it would be quite a big blow to


    Jackie.

    Phoenix Valley might actually lose an incredibly rare master because of it.


    Elder Eliot took a deep breath. “What do you think Elder Maurice will write in the merit logs?”


    The merit logs were something Phoenix Valley had specifically to determine rewards and punishments.


    As long as one participated in a tournament, be it within Phoenix Valley or not, the person hosting the


    tournament or the one in charge of the team would write everything in the merit log after the tournament.


    It would detail the happenings of the tournament as well as each person’s contributions, and the higher-


    ups of Phoenix Valley would then use the information on the merit log to determine whether to reward or


    punish people.


    Of course, those who performed exceptionally would be blessed ordingly; those who failed the valley


    would be punished.


    Elder Eliot had a decent rtionship with Elder Baggins and Elder Maurice, and he knew how Elder


    Maurice was. If Jackie truly had failed the team, Elder Maurice would be very critical toward him, which


    would ultimately lead to Jackie’s punishment, affecting his growth.
