The three-chamber trial came to an end, and the elders and disciples who were on the jury left one after another. However, the three great elders Zhan Wanhua, Fa Tian, and Xing Tian received the call from the Supreme Leader.
Not long after, Zhan Wanhua and others stood respectfully in Qingyun Hall.
In front of them, a half-disembodied and half-real figure paced slowly with his hands behind his back, and shouted angrily: "Huh! You three, how brave you are!"
"At the last moment of using the Soul Searching Technique, you secretly dealt cruel blows to the disciples of the same sect? Do you really think I'm out of my mind?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Wanhua and others immediately trembled and hurriedly confessed and apologized.
They know the character of the Supreme Master very well - when the other party is angry, don't be too busy making excuses, but should take the initiative to admit your mistakes. This will actually make the other party's anger less.
Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
Qing Yunxiao saw that the attitude of the three people in admitting their mistakes was quite "sincere", and the awe shown in their eyes did not seem to be fake.
So, after beating them up, the Supreme Headmaster changed his tone and changed the topic: "In a week, the three-year mysterious beast tide will erupt in Beast Mang Mountain."
"Zhan Wanhua, as the chief elder of the war hall, do you know what to do?"
Zhan Wanhua immediately patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, Supreme Master, I will definitely block the tide of mysterious beasts from outside the mountain gate."
"I have already posted the relevant hunting missions to the mission hall. At that time, in addition to the war hall disciples being on guard against some serious tidal areas, the places where the pressure is relatively loose will be given to the sect disciples to go and experience them by performing tasks.
."
"Well, not bad."
Qingyun Xiao nodded lightly: "As the saying goes, true gold is not afraid of fire. Sooner or later, those juniors will take over our Qingyun Sect."
"The tide of mysterious beasts that occurs every three years is a disaster for our religion, but it may not be an opportunity."
"After the waves wash away the sand, what can be retained are the best of the best."
"The sect master is wise!" The three of them hurriedly offered flattery.
Qingyun Xiao said lukewarmly: "In order to prevent the mountain gate from being damaged by the tide of mysterious beasts, the Zongwu Hall will allocate a large amount of mysterious crystals and spirit stones to strengthen the energy barrier of the mountain guarding formation."
"This is a big expense."
"Today, you made a mistake first. I was concerned about your face and was afraid of affecting your prestige, so I didn't expose it in front of all the elders and disciples."
"Do you understand my good intentions?"
Qingyun Xiao first mentioned that the Zongwu Hall needed to allocate a large amount of resources to activate the formation, and then the conversation changed and circled back to the mistakes of the three of them.
People who can sit in the position of the chief elder of the War Hall, Law Enforcement Hall, and Punishment Hall are naturally not idiots. With a slight turn of their heads, they realized the implication of the other party's words——
The master of the Ganqing Sect wants the three of them to pay for it!
Ordinary disciples and elders only know the expenses of the sect, who are the administrators of the Zongwu Hall, but the three senior elders, who are in high positions and are at the core level of the sect, know very well that the Zongwu Hall is, to put it bluntly, the private life of the sect leader.
"Money bag".
The opening of the Mountain Gate Formation requires the use of a large amount of resources, which is equivalent to a significant reduction in the "purse" of the Supreme Leader.
The Supreme Leader can't tell you "no money" or "pay less", so what should I do? It's simple, just find someone to pay on your behalf!
As a result, these three unlucky guys who made a mistake and happened to bump into the eye-catcher became the ones who were taken advantage of.
One or two of these three old guys were angrily scolding the Supreme Master for being cunning and cunning in their hearts, but they remained respectful on their faces. They all clasped their fists and expressed their stance: "We are extremely grateful for the Supreme Master's caring heart."
"But I know I made a mistake and I should make up for it."
Zhan Wanhua was the first to speak: "In this way, I am willing to personally contribute a thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones to fund the continued operation of the mountain guarding formation after the mysterious beast tide breaks out."
"Hmm, a thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones? Haha, it's not too stingy." Qingyun Xiao said with a smile.
Zhan Wanhua knew that the other party was not satisfied with the pace, so he was about to quote another price, but he was overtaken by Fatian: "I am willing to give you two thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones. I don't want to atone for my sins, but I want to be able to do it."
Do your little bit for our sect and make up for it."
Xing Tian followed up and said: "I am also willing to give two thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones. I know that I can never repay the Supreme Leader's kindness in return, so I can only express my feelings."
Hearing this, the Supreme Headmaster smiled: "Hehehe, yes, yes, you two are serious."
Zhan Wanhua felt aggrieved in his heart: "What the fuck! These two old foxes got the benefits I promised when they tried the case, but in the end they didn't even bother to help, and they still used my spiritual stone to show off?"
With no choice, Zhan Wanhua could only pretend to be fat: "Headmaster Supreme Mingjian, the old man hasn't finished speaking yet."
"I want to use one thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones to support the Zongwu Hall, and another one thousand kilograms to honor your old man as a thank you for your kindness in protecting me!"
Hearing what he said, Qing Yunxiao's face became a little brighter: "Well, you have your heart too. But how can I accept your spirit stones? I'd rather donate them all to the sect! What do you think?"
"Only by the instructions of the Supreme Headmaster!" On the surface he agreed readily, but in his heart he did not dare to hate the Supreme Headmaster, but his hatred for Chen Shen became even deeper.
When he thought about it, if it hadn't been for that little bastard, he wouldn't have been caught by Qing Yunxiao and gained a large amount of resources in vain.
Two thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones, if replaced by low-grade ones, would be a full 20 million kilograms! In the secular world, the total assets of several kingdoms may not be able to come up with this amount.
For Zhan Wanhua, this expenditure can be regarded as a major hemorrhage, and he secretly made up his mind that when the limelight passes, Chen Shen must pay the price!
Qing Yunxiao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, hahaha, very good! I have other important matters, so I won't send you off."
The three great elders clasped their fists knowingly: "I'll take my leave..."
In fact, this matter is not over yet.
The next day, Qing Yunxiao summoned three people alone.
When summoning Fa Tian and Xing Tian, the Supreme Leader returned all the high-grade spiritual stones that he had fished from them yesterday——
"You are all my confidants, so I should help you."
"The reason why I did that yesterday was just to show off in front of Zhan Wanhua."
His actions made Fa Tian and Xing Tian feel grateful, and invisibly won over people's hearts.
But when summoning Zhan Wanhua, Qing Yunxiao revealed seemingly unintentionally: After yesterday, Fa Tian and Xing Tian found him alone again, and each added three thousand kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones to the Zongwu Hall.
Zhan Wanhua looked at the headmaster's expression of praise on his face and cursed in his heart: "What the fuck, those two old guys are really nothing. With such a comparison, wouldn't my gratitude and atonement be inferior?"
