Chapter 282 That's right, we're rich.
"Ah, I'm here."
Jia Xitong's first reaction was to check the sundial; she wasn't late.
Then he looked at Sharp and Hu Changxiu.
Sharp stood next to the relevant leaders, staring straight ahead with a blank expression, while Hu Changxiu stood among a group of teachers, looking slightly bewildered.
"You're Xitong?"
The leader looked at her and said, "Someone reported that you are immoral and vain. You've only been in the college a few days, but you've already cheated people out of money. Do you admit it?"
What?
Upon hearing this, the new teachers next to them displayed various expressions.
Jia Xitong was also taken aback. "Who reported it?"
Sharp unconsciously took a half step back and looked at the leader next to him.
Liu Shan is the director in charge of these new elective course instructors. He came here today specifically to handle the matter after receiving a report from Sharp.
Normally, this kind of private matter would be overlooked and ignored. But since Young Master Wanqi's lover specifically came to make arrangements, this is unusual.
It can only be said that this nun named Xitong was unlucky and offended someone.
He at least gave the Wanqi family face by coming to inquire. If there was something wrong, he would punish them severely; if not, it would at least serve as a punishment for Zhuo Jingya.
"You don't need to concern yourself with this matter. For the sake of Dingtian Academy's fairness, rigor, and the noble ethics of teachers who are single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, I must ask you to explain whether it is true that you spent five million low-grade spirit stones at the Treasure Pavilion?"
Five million low-grade spirit stones?!
Upon hearing this, everyone involuntarily gasped.
If they had so many spirit stones, who would want to be a teacher, working from dawn till dusk and wasting their own cultivation time?
"yes."
Jia Xitong nodded calmly.
Liu Shan further inquired, "Do these spirit stones have a legitimate source of income?"
"Yes, I earned it myself."
How did you earn it?
"Isn't this question too private?"
Jia Xitong looked at Liu Shan, her brows furrowing slightly. "Isn't it the case that whoever raises the question must provide evidence? Whoever reported me for having illegitimate sources of wealth, let them produce the evidence."
Really,
"You think you can take advantage of me just because I'm easy to talk to?"
We don't provoke trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of trouble either.
Jia Xitong put her hands on her hips and said, "Who reported this? Step forward if you dare!"
Hu Changxiu nodded vigorously in the crowd, "Yes, so-and-so is so shameless, yet the whistleblower doesn't dare to stand up."
The room was very quiet.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shan glanced at Sharp. He thought of how indignant the whistleblower had been back then, but now he didn't dare to say a word when confronted.
"Teacher Tong, don't worry. You just need to explain the source of these spirit stones, where you usually live, and whether you have relatives or friends to vouch for you."
"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Tong, don't be angry. Since someone has doubts, why don't you explain it clearly?"
At this moment, the monk Wang stepped forward to speak up, saying, "If one is innocent, one has nothing to fear from a straight body."
"That's right."
That makes sense.
A group of onlookers nodded in agreement.
Driven by a love of watching the drama unfold and an innate voyeuristic desire to pry into other people's privacy, many expressed their agreement.
"Okay, I am indeed very rich."
Jia Xitong shrugged, looking indifferent. "Since you want to gossip, I'll satisfy you."
She casually pulled out a magic talisman and slapped the more than twenty land deeds inside onto the table.
The school building, the best land.
Detached houses, 25 units.
Pulling out a stack of these things is still quite frightening.
"I have so many houses, I can live wherever I want."
"What's wrong with not living in teachers' dormitories? As for the source of funding, well, you can draw talismans."
Jia Xitong crossed her arms and looked at the crowd of onlookers. "There must be someone who doesn't know that drawing talismans is very profitable, right? It's normal for a single talisman to sell for thousands or tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones."
That's amazing!
Upon hearing this, those around couldn't help but look at another talisman cultivator present.
Drawing talismans is very profitable. The ink and paper are different materials for each type of talisman, and it's not always possible to draw one successfully.
He doesn't deny that there are indeed big shots who can make money with talismans, such as the one at Dingtian Academy who can draw the Mi Xu Talisman, but these are a minority. For most people, drawing talismans is just burning money, and sometimes they can't even afford the material costs.
The talisman cultivator coughed awkwardly, but out of consideration for his reputation, he nodded almost imperceptibly.
It's considered an implicit agreement.
So Fu Xiu was this wealthy!
Everyone else present was stunned for a moment, and more or less felt regret and remorse for not choosing to cultivate the talisman. At the same time, they gained a completely new understanding of Jia Xitong's financial resources.
"They're already so rich, why bother being a teacher?"
Someone couldn't help but say that he didn't understand.
"I'd like to."
Jia Xitong replied nonchalantly, "Any other questions? If you need to see my family and friends, I can make an appointment for Manager Liu, but you'll have to explain things to him yourself if anything comes up."
A mysterious, wealthy, and powerful talisman cultivator.
If you persist in your grievances, you will inevitably offend people.
Liu Shan, a cultivator with no power or influence and whose cultivation level was mediocre among his teachers, has managed to reach his current position with his cunning and emotional intelligence.
He was only there because someone had reported him, so there was no need to provoke someone whose identity was so unclear.
"Now that we've figured it out, Teacher Tong was framed."
After saying that, he glanced at Sharp, who was standing silently beside him, and said, "As colleagues, we should help each other and get along harmoniously. Don't doubt your colleagues casually, or create unnecessary trouble for yourself."
Alright, that's settled then. Teachers, please rest now; we'll arrange your teaching duties this afternoon.
The whole morning was wasted like this.
Seeing this, Hu Changxiu leaned over and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tongtongtong, does that Steward Liu mean for the people around us to report you?"
There were eight people in total. Apart from Bucket Daoyou himself, him, and Sharp, there were five other people left.
"Could it be that the person who made the whistleblower report is...?"
Hu Changxiu stretched out his hand, preparing to point at the five people gathered together.
At that moment, Jia Xitong reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"The matter has not been fully investigated, so we cannot draw any conclusions prematurely."
Jia Xitong looked at the group of five, her gaze then calmly sweeping over Sharp.
Just then, the group of five said something and walked towards Jia Xitong.
"Fellow Daoist Tong".
Wang Xiushi spoke first, "What happened just now was due to our oversight. We were misled by Manager Liu's aggressive manner and believed what we heard. Please forgive us."
"It's alright, as long as it's explained clearly."
Jia Xitong nodded slightly.
Seeing that she didn't seem to care about his earlier support, Wang Xiushi breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, it was best not to offend a colleague who seemed to be powerful and very wealthy.
Upon hearing this, he explained the purpose of his visit with the others...
