King of Assassins

"The annual report will only be handed over to you, it will not be made public."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Sister, don't scare me, I already knew about it."

Nuwa was a bit surprised, "How did you know?"

"It's simple, the Sage's identity is confidential. Doing an annual work summary would reveal your identity right away. What's the point of confidentiality then?"

Gao Xuan confidently said, "I've read through the Holy Law, and there's no such regulation."

"You're just cunning." Nuwa felt a little disappointed that she failed to deceive Gao Xuan. She just wanted to seize the opportunity to get some information from him.

She was extremely curious about Gao Xuan's reincarnation and crossing realms. The Heart of Data also hoped to obtain future data.

"When necessary, I will let you know, sister."

Gao Xuan said slowly, "If I don't mention it, you don't need to worry, sister."

"Get over yourself."

Nuwa couldn't be bothered with Gao Xuan anymore, and loudly said, "Fellow Sages, shall we get to the main topic?"

The First Sage took the lead and submitted an annual work summary, and the others followed suit, each handing in their summaries.

Gao Xuan, like the others, simply submitted his report without giving a verbal narration.

Nuwa was also a little surprised after reviewing Gao Xuan's report. Because it stated that he had slain three Evil Gods, discovered two Negative Space passages, killed a Cult Leader, and rescued many people from the belief in Evil Gods.

This included killing Lan Chang'an and other believers of the Evil God, and destroying the evil organization led by Lan Chang'an.

Nuwa knew Gao Xuan had done quite a bit, but she didn't know much about the matters concerning the Evil Gods.

Gao Xuan even provided partial memory data, which had been verified by the Heart of Data.

Nuwa sighed to Gao Xuan: "This time, you passed."

She added, "The Heart of Data will evaluate the Sage's work over the past year, with rewards for excellence and point deductions for poor performance.

"You have so few points, if your rating isn't up to par, it's going to be bad for you."

The rating from the Heart of Data isn't too harsh. As long as a Sage maintains a normal standard, it won't be too bad.

Even if points are deducted, it wouldn't have a substantial impact.

For Gao Xuan, however, it's different, as he only has a few thousand points. If he really receives a poor rating from the Heart of Data, he might get dismissed as a Sage.

Fortunately, last year Gao Xuan killed two Evil Gods. Just this achievement is enough to rank at the top.

Nuwa said, "If you're lucky enough to rank first, there will be significant rewards."

Gao Xuan was a bit expectant, "What substantial rewards are there?"

"Generally, the first place is rewarded with points, and also with Marvels..."

Moisture Hall has accumulated resources over three thousand years, surpassing any Noble Family's foundation.

The Treasure Vault alone holds countless resources, extremely precious even to a Golden Powerhouse.

With this mention, Gao Xuan's interest was piqued as well.

In his previous life as a Sage, he didn't have such good fortune.

The key issue was that more than half of the Human Race's territory had fallen. The Treasure Vaults of Mo Sect's Hall hidden across various places were either looted or destroyed.

Back then, Nuwa couldn't offer anything substantial.

The Heart of Data can only store data; real substances require storage in real space.

Now, the Mo Sect's Hall has abundant resources. Just gaining a bit from it would substantially benefit Gao Xuan.

Once the Heart of Data completed the evaluation, the data results were given to Nuwa to announce.

With the results in hand, Nuwa's smile widened.

She announced: "First Sage, B. Second Sage, C. Third Sage, C+... Seventh Sage B+..."

Upon hearing this evaluation, the other Sages were stunned. A group of Sages once again focused their attention on Gao Xuan.

They were all suspicious, had the new Seventh Sage done better work than everyone else?

The Sages began to suspect whether there were any hidden dealings between Nuwa and the Seventh Sage!
