Seeing the New Sword Sect becoming more and more prosperous, it naturally made many forces jealous.
Sects from all sides began to inquire about the news about this emerging sect, and even some sixth-grade sects began to prepare for action. For a time, undercurrents surged in Yandang Mountain, and the number of people secretly coming and going doubled.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month.
The New Sword Sect is becoming more and more prosperous. In the early morning, there are more than a hundred disciples practicing basic swordsmanship in the martial arts field. The sect is in a prosperous state, and the former gangster spirit has been wiped out.
While many disciples were practicing their swordsmanship, a figure in black leisurely passed by the martial arts field, humming a little tune, looking a little carefree and relaxed.
Even with that appearance, most of the disciples bowed respectfully and greeted him.
"The Great Protector is polite!"
The young man in black waved his hand casually, then continued to step into the arch and walked towards the direction of the main hall.
Looking at such a weird scene.
Some of the new disciples looked confused and asked the senior brothers around them for advice.
"Senior brother, is this the legendary Great Protector with terrifying cultivation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him quickly turned to the side and clasped their fists, correcting him respectfully.
"More than terrifying!"
"The cultivation of the Great Protector is simply superb! If you move a finger at will, it will be hard for us to resist!"
Hearing this, the new disciple nodded in surprise.
"So terrifying?"
"I didn't expect that the Great Protector is even more powerful than the rumors. It's really the right time for us to join the New Sword Sect!"
After a few words, the new disciples all looked excited and continued to practice hard. There was a clear look of pride in their brows and their whole bodies were full of energy.
For a time, the martial arts field was full of flying figures, and the flashing sword light almost overshadowed the brilliance of the rising sun.
at the same time.
The young man in black has already stepped into the hall leisurely. Today is the day for monthly salary distribution, so he is looking forward to it. Finally, he will have a chance to see the money, so that he can go to the nearby Goulan to listen to music.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the hall, Yi Feng and the new great elder looked solemn, holding a name card in their hands and looking at it carefully for a long time.
Looking at that posture.
The young man in black sat down nearby and asked out of curiosity.
"What's wrong?"
"Our new sword sect won't already be in debt, right?"
This great protector is also a talented person.
It's obvious that your cultivation is profound and unpredictable, so why do you fall in the eyes of money?
The elder's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he did not dare to answer.
Yi Feng slowly put down the name card in his hand, and then revealed the truth.
"It's not a big deal if you owe a debt."
"There have been a lot of new disciples recently. It doesn't cost much to renovate the main hall. There is still balance in the sect's treasury. However, it seems that we are going to run into some trouble."
"This post is from the Golden Blade Sect, threatening to ask us to pay monthly silver..."
Hearing this, the young man in black was so angry that he slammed the table!
“What a beautiful thought!”
"What kind of bullshit, Jin Dao Sect, dare to put the plan on my head, thinking that we are a mountain inn? I'm afraid they are thinking nonsense!"
Yi Feng nodded upon hearing this, with a bit of anger in his eyes.
But he was a little more mature after all, so he didn't make a conclusion right away. Instead, he inquired about the elder who was standing quietly and obediently at the side.
"Great Elder."
"What is the origin of this Golden Knife Sect? What do you think of the payment of moon silver?"
Yi Feng knew in his heart that although he and the man in black were not weak in cultivation, they were still trying to avoid outsiders who were chasing them. It was their first time to establish a sect on the border of the Fire Nation, so they naturally had to be a little more cautious.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.
When it comes to the future of the sect, it is better to inquire carefully first, and there will never be a big mistake.
As the words fell, the great elder quickly bowed.
"Report to the sect master."
"This Golden Blade Sect is an old sect within the radius of Yandang Mountain. It has long been ranked among the sixth ranks. The predecessor of this sect, the Dangjian Sect, has been affiliated with its sect for generations, and they pay a monthly salary of three thousand taels."
"This has been the case all year round, and there has never been a precedent for this to be broken."
"This Yandang Mountain spreads for hundreds of miles. There are dozens of large and small sects. There are also several escort agencies setting up branches here. There are also green forest bandits hiding in the valley. It can be described as a mixed bag. Without support, it is difficult for ordinary sects to gain a foothold.
, so most of the nearby seventh-grade sects are affiliated with high-level sects, so it is normal to pay the monthly silver..."
Hearing this, Yi Feng had an idea in his mind.
The living environment in the Yandang Mountains is really competitive. Not only are the common people living in a difficult situation, but even the cultivation sects have to be exploited. It can be said that the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. They are exploited layer by layer all the year round.
They all form a food chain.
However, Yi Feng didn't feel much pressure after hearing that the Golden Blade Sect was only a sixth-grade sect, and that the strongest existence was only in the Taichu realm, which was even lower than what he was back then.
The young man in black who was sitting next to him laughed out loud on the spot.
"puff……"
"It's just a sixth-grade sect that wants to collect money from me. It's really an old lady who got under the covers and made me laugh."
The two of them were very relaxed, but the elder became more and more frightened.
"Sect Master, Great Protector, please think twice!"
"It has always been lower-level sects who have paid monthly silver, and no one has ever dared to break the precedent. If it is just for the sake of temporary motivation and makes many sects unhappy, it may not be worth the gain!"
After hearing this, Yi Feng stretched out his hand to interrupt.
"It doesn't matter."
"Everything is the responsibility of this sect leader."
"You should quickly report back to the Golden Sword Sect and tell them that our sect will never pay any monthly silver from now on. If they don't agree, then come to my new sword sect to collect it in person!"
The Great Elder trembled when he heard the voice, and wanted to speak out to persuade him again, but looking at Yi Feng's firm eyes and the smiling Great Protector beside him, he couldn't help but think of how powerful these two people were, and he didn't dare to say more.
"yes……"
Even though he was worried in his heart, the great elder still respectfully withdrew.
When there was no one else around, the young man in black smiled even more boldly!
"Hahaha……"
"Brother, what you said is too harsh on my temper! If they want money, if they have the ability, they can do it themselves! I will definitely let them see what thugs' methods are!"
Yi Feng smiled when he heard the sound, stood up and sat down next to the young man.
At this moment, no one else is present, so he is still used to talking in close proximity, just like the casual feeling when we met in the courtyard, which is more comfortable.
Seeing the young man laughing happily, he felt very relieved.
He also smiled and spoke, explaining what was on his mind.
"Sixth-grade sects are nothing to be afraid of, so they don't need to worry about Yue Yin. However, our attitude must be tough this time. We must let all nearby sects know that our New Sword Sect is not an existence that allows people to be exploited."
"It would be better if they don't come. If they dare to come, I will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and use the reputation of the Golden Sword Sect to establish prestige for our new Sword Sect!"
After hearing these words, the young man in black gradually stopped smiling, looked back at Yi Feng's sparkling eyes, and became more and more sect-like, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
He spoke again, with a rare solemn tone in his tone.
"brother."
"What you said makes sense, and I agree."
"Why don't you leave this Golden Sword Sect to me? After all, those rubbish are coveting the money of our New Sword Sect. I am the Great Protector of the New Sword Sect, and I can't tolerate anything you say!"
Seeing the young man's serious look, Yi Feng felt a warmth coming to his heart.
This guy says he's too lazy to mind his own business, but when it comes to the critical moment, he's not vague at all. His loyalty and responsibility are thousands of times better than the hypocrite in the world.
All the noble and upright people in the world are not worthy of carrying this brother's shoes!
In the past few years.
After evading pursuit all the way and still having this brother who never leaves me, this life is enough.
Yi Feng smiled and stared for a long time, but did not respond immediately.
He slowly took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it over, and then said cheerfully: "I have made you run around all these years, and now it is difficult for you to settle down. Just take this little money and go out and enjoy yourself for a few days.
"
Looking at the banknotes handed over to him, the young man in black was stunned on the big chair.
The words "one hundred taels" made his heart skip a beat. It was not because he was afraid of owing too much, but because no one had ever given him so much money for free. The sincere concern and gratitude in his words were even more valuable beyond measure.
For a moment, the young man didn't know how to speak out.
He glanced at the banknote a few times and at Yi Feng again before asking softly: "These one hundred taels are all for me?"
Yi Feng nodded with a smile and handed the banknote to the young man.
"You just need to rest for a few days. I will take care of other small things, so you don't have to worry about the Golden Blade Sect."
"Take it for fun. You are the great elder of our New Sword Sect. This monthly salary is nothing. In the future, our sect will get better and better, and you will have everything you want!"
After receiving the money, the young man finally smiled again.
He hurriedly said goodbye a few times, and walked out the door happily, humming and chirping all the way, walking leisurely with his hands behind his back, looking like a groom, with a festive atmosphere all over his body.
"It's the beautiful time of spring, and beautiful lady Xiaozhu is wearing red makeup..."
Looking at the familiar figure disappearing from sight, Yi Feng also showed a happy smile. If he hadn't accidentally listened to the music, he would have really wanted to go for a walk with this brother...
