The disciple followed behind Xiao Feng, his face filled with panic: "Don't take me to see the sect leader, I'll tell you everything."

When Xiao Feng heard that his disciple was willing to tell him what he knew, he released his clothes and sneered, "Then tell me, who sent you?"

He understood that the disciples of the Qing Sect did not have such courage; it must be one of the elders directing them from behind.

The disciple sighed, "Elder Tianhua made me do this, you can't blame me, I can only listen to the elder."

In the Qing Sect, if he doesn't listen to the elders, he might not be able to obtain the cultivation methods and martial arts techniques that suit him.

Xiao Feng looked at him with a wronged expression, how could he not know his predicament?

However, he was the one who handled the whole matter, and he had to go with him to the sect leader.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he grabbed his disciple and sneered, "If you won't come with me to see the sect master, then go see Elder Tianhua instead."

As the personal disciple of the leader of the Qing Sect, Xiao Feng's status was extremely prominent.

Even Elder Tianhua had to give him some face to avoid any trouble.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two arrived one after the other at the entrance of the courtyard where Elder Tianhua lived.

Elder Tianhua sensed the spiritual energy at the doorway and appeared before the two in a flash, his brows furrowing slightly: "What is the meaning of this?"

To outsiders, this disciple is Elder Tianhua's disciple, so he has a legitimate reason to step forward and protect his own.

Xiao Feng looked at Elder Tianhua's serious face and took the money out of his hand: "This money is for repairing the house. He said you asked him to take it."

When Elder Tianhua heard Xiao Feng say this, his eyes widened suddenly: "What? Such a thing actually happened? Nonsense."

He glanced at the disciple and said, "He must have done these things to curry favor with me. Do with him as you see fit."

Before Xiao Feng could say anything, Elder Tianhua had already returned to the house and refused to speak to them.

Seeing that Elder Tianhua denied taking the money, Xiao Feng couldn't help but glance at the Qingzong disciple beside him.

"You must have heard that, right? He won't admit it, so the blame can only be placed on you."

The saying goes, "to catch a thief red-handed," and since he only had evidence against this disciple, he could only blame the disciple.

When he saw that Xiao Feng wanted to take the blame upon himself, he quickly walked up to Xiao Feng and said, "You can't put the responsibility on me. How can I bear it?"

As a disciple of the Qing Sect, how could he not know what would happen if he took the money for house repairs?

He took out a lot of money and pointed inside: "I know where Elder Tianhua keeps his money. We can use that as evidence."

Since Elder Tianhua cannot guarantee his safety, why should the disciples of the Qingzong sect guarantee the elder's safety?

Before long, the two arrived at Elder Tianhua's courtyard and pointed to one of the trees: "All the money is buried under that tree."

Because this money was specifically used for house repairs, each bill had its own unique serial number.

By simply checking the serial number on the money, it becomes clear whether Elder Tianhua has taken it.

Elder Tianhua originally thought that Xiao Feng wouldn't press the issue to the end, but no one expected that Xiao Feng would actually dig up all the money in his courtyard.

By the time he realized what was happening, he could only see Xiao Feng's back.

He arrived before the sect leader as quickly as possible, and presented all the evidence he had found.

Xiao Feng originally thought that he had enough money to help the sect leader deal with Elder Tianhua.

To everyone's surprise, the sect leader simply took the money back and sat down on it with an indifferent expression.

Judging from her expression, she had no intention of dealing with Elder Tianhua at all.

Xiao Feng looked at the sect leader with a puzzled expression: "What...do you mean by this?"

The sect leader saw Xiao Feng focusing his gaze on him and sighed, "Let's put this matter aside for now. You don't need to investigate any further. I know the whole story."

Xiao Feng carefully recalled the scenes in his mind and discovered that the original owner of the body did not recognize that person at all.

The sect leader understood that Xiao Feng was always determined to get to the bottom of things, so he said to Xiao Feng, "There's no need to investigate this matter anymore. Elder Tianhua can't be touched for now."

Seeing Xiao Feng's puzzled expression, she explained again, "Elder Tianhua was one of the founders of our sect, so he's considered an elder."

If the sect leader were to deal with the elders now, he would very likely be looked down upon by others.

By then, the Azure Sect will definitely be in chaos, and the Flame Sect might take advantage of that time to make its move.

Upon learning the reason behind this, Xiao Feng sighed helplessly and nodded slightly.

From a broader perspective, they really shouldn't do such a thing.

Xiao Feng walked out of the hall, his face gloomy, his mind racing as he pondered how to confront Elder Tianhua.

I've already taken the money he hid in the yard, and I believe their relationship has soured.

Just then, he found himself unknowingly arriving at the entrance of Elder Tianhua's courtyard.

Now that he was already here, Xiao Feng decided to face the problem head-on and walked inside without hesitation.

When Elder Tianhua saw Xiao Feng approaching, he sneered, "Isn't this the future sect leader? What business do you have with me?"

Xiao Feng understood that Elder Tianhua was angry, and chuckled: "You shouldn't have touched the money for repairing the house. That's a matter of face for our Qing Sect."

As his words gradually escalated, he elevated the entire incident to a conflict between Elder Tianhua and the Qingzong Sect.

In this way, the entire Qingzong sect will regard him as an enemy.

Even if Elder Tianhua possesses sufficient strength, he would likely be homeless if he left the Qing Sect.

Elder Tianhua focused his gaze on Xiao Feng, pondered for a moment, and realized that the key was in him.

If Xiao Feng were to truthfully tell the people of the Qing Sect what had happened here, he wouldn't be able to hold his position as an elder of the Qing Sect for long.

After some thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will give all the money I took before to the disciples who are repairing the houses, so that they can repair the houses properly."

Seeing that Elder Tianhua was willing to take back all the money he had taken before, Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "As long as you can get that money back, we can pretend we don't know anything else."

Although he had no evidence that Elder Tianhua had taken money elsewhere, he believed that Elder Tianhua had definitely taken money for more than just house repairs.

Elder Tianhua nodded slightly: "You can go back now. The money for repairing the houses will be delivered to those people later."
