No one in the Haoyue lineage objected.
For them, this is the best outcome.
This is considered "one case, two treatments".
This means that although they have to obey the Lanyue Sect, they still have a certain degree of autonomy. This... is really the best result after surrendering.
What's more...
Their eyes couldn't help but glance at Medicine Grandma.
Well... don't get me wrong, it's not because Yao Lao's figure is too exaggerated, but because of her identity as the Pill Emperor and the Lord of the Pill Tower! She is now the head of the Lanyue Sect's alchemy lineage.
Her status is even higher than Xiao Ling'er.
The most important thing is that we are now on the same level as our own family!
And Lin Fan has already promised not to treat them differently, at least... not too differently.
This means that our Haoyue lineage can also get high-quality elixirs.
Not giving us?
That won’t work, there are restrictions on oaths!
Unless, those disciples of his Lanyue Sect's 'main vein' also don't take high-quality elixirs, but this is impossible! Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
In order to prevent the Haoyue lineage from developing, he even suppressed his own "main lineage"?
It would be impossible to do such a thing without cerebral thrombosis for tens of thousands of years.
And it is obvious at first glance that Sect Leader Lin Fan is not that kind of fool.
Although his cultivation level is not high, he is smart and intelligent, and he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
so···
In the final analysis, although this time the situation was extremely serious and they had lost their absolute sovereignty, they were able to retain their relative sovereignty and obtain the high-quality elixirs from the Lanyue Sect, and even...
This, this, you can also learn the invincible methods of the Lanyue Sect.
It’s hard to say whether it’s a loss or a profit.
Emotionally speaking, it is definitely unhappy.
But let’s analyze it from a material perspective.
It seems, it may, probably, maybe...
We made money?!
Gu Qingyun and the others blinked their eyes and calculated secretly, and finally found out, hey?! This wave did not lose money, but made money!
certainly···
In fact, they are also very clear that it is difficult to say whether this kind of thing is a loss or a profit, but people always like everyone to be happy and like a happy ending.
So...
They are all self-hypnotizing.
Ignore the 'bads' and focus on the good.
In this way...
Isn't it just making a profit instead of losing money?
Seeing that their expressions gradually improved, Lin Fan felt happy.
Why should I proceed in three steps?
Why merge with Danta first?
Isn't it just to make it easier for your Haoyue Sect to accept "surrender"?
It seems that the effect is good now.
This matter has been completed by 99%.
As for what to do after Ji Haoyue returns... Lin Fan is not panicked at all.
When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. He believed that Ji Haoyue would figure it out.
Of course, if he can't figure it out, I don't mind helping him figure it out.
Perhaps, the only thing that makes him unhappy now is that he has to continue to maintain his identity as Lu Ming.
Although it is not impossible to restore their original appearance now, after all, they are suppressed by the oath, but considering the sudden change of the Haoyue lineage... it is better to take care of their emotions.
Besides, he was also thinking of recruiting Ji Haoyue as well.
If he were to restore his identity now, there would be no hope of recruiting Ji Haoyue.
so···
I can only bear with myself anymore.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Ming sighed: "Thank you, Sect Master."
"Um."
Lin Fan nodded gently: "How the Haoyue clan should deal with itself is up to you to decide. Just report to me every once in a while. I just want a result."
"Development, development, and fucking development!"
As for the arrangements within the sect, it goes without saying that they must not disobey them and must do their best to complete them.
It was already included in the oath.
So, Lin Fan didn't have much to do.
Then, he stretched his body and said, "You guys continue to repair the formation. Deacon Lu, take us around. By the way, I am very interested in the treasure house of Haoyue Sect."
"And your Imperial Scripture of the Religious Realm with the bright moon in the sky."
"Give me a copy. I'll take it back and study it to see if I can change it to embracing the moon in my arms."
"The so-called bright moon in the sky is nothing more than borrowing the power of the lunar star. When the lunar star disappears, it condenses a virtual shadow of the lunar star to bless itself."
"I was thinking, if I could change it to embracing the moon... I could hold the shadow of the moon in my arms, or even hold it in my chest, then I would be the moon...
Will it be a bit stronger?"
Upon hearing this, all the elders of the Haoyue lineage were speechless.
The villain succeeds!
What a fucking bragging guy.
They kept complaining in their hearts.
But no one knew that Lin Fan was serious!
He has the ability.
At the same time, there was unstoppable bitterness on their faces.
Going to my own treasure house...
well!
In fact, this is also one of the disadvantages of "taking refuge", but before, they had actively ignored it.
But fortunately, there are not many good things in the current Haoyue Treasury, emmm...so there is no need to feel too sad.
······
"Well, let's go take a look together."
Lin Fan called Xiao Ling'er and others to go together.
If there are benefits, of course we should share them with everyone!
"Master..."
Just as Lu Ming was leading the way for Lin Fan and others, Wen Ruyan could not help but step forward. He wanted to call Lu Ming, but suddenly realized that it was wrong to call him that, so he quickly looked at Lin Fan.
"Well... why not let my disciple lead the way for you?"
Wen Ruyan felt extremely distressed for geigei, bah, she felt so distressed for Lu Ming.
She saw everything.
Lu Ming has done everything for the Haoyue Sect. His injuries have not recovered yet, and he still has to bear the responsibility. In the end, what did he get?!
Not only did he lose his position as the clan leader, he also became the person with the primary responsibility. In the future, if any problems arise in the Haoyue lineage, he will be responsible.
Is this a good thing?!
Heartbroken!
I feel so sad.
This kind of heartache made it almost difficult for her to breathe, and she could no longer hold back and stood up and volunteered.
perhaps···
I can't change anything.
But at least, you can't let the leader in your heart do such trivial matters and chores, right?
he···
But the sect leader!
How can I do trivial things like leading the way?
This is so bullying!
"Oh, you~~~" Lin Fan looked at Wen Ruyan.
Wen Ruyan quickly said, "Disciple Wen Ruyan is just a little Taoist boy beside Deacon Lu."
"The deacon is injured, so it would be most appropriate for this disciple to lead the sect master and the others there."
"I remember you." Xiao Ling'er said at this moment: "Wen Ruyan, the former Saintess of Haoyue Sect."
“···”
Wen Ruyan pursed his lips slightly: "That's all in the past. Now, I'm just a little Taoist boy of the Haoyue lineage."
She didn't dare to be arrogant at all.
It is true that I was the Holy Maiden of the Haoyue Sect, but... if I really think about it, what am I?
Any one of these direct disciples of Lan Yue Sect would be stronger than himself.
And the gap is huge!
What's more, there is no Haoyue Sect now, only the Haoyue lineage. Why should I call myself a saint?
Even the clan leader was 'demoted'.
As a saint, I am at most a direct disciple of the Haoyue lineage.
Same reason.
Many sequence disciples will also be downgraded...
Although sequence disciples and holy sons and daughters are not only born in the main lineage, but if you want to have these identities, you have to prove yourself, right?
so···
Why don’t we torture Xiao Ling’er and the others first?
It really doesn't work...
It’s okay to have a fight with Yaya!
Furthermore, the main lineage of Lanyue Sect currently has no sequence disciples, and the Haoyue lineage is at most a branch lineage. Why should they represent Lanyue Sect in selecting sequence disciples?
Isn't this the opposite of Tian Gang? !
so···
Although Lin Fan didn't say these words, everyone knew what was going on.
The saint can no longer be called a saint.
At the beginning, Wen Ruyan did feel a moment of regret.
But after calming down, she found that this was a good idea.
At least she no longer had to act like a saint, and she didn't have to worry about anything. From now on, she only had to stay quietly by Lu Ming's side as a little Taoist boy, and protect him silently.
"That's true."
Xiao Ling'er nodded slightly: "Since you know what's going on, I don't need to say anything more."
"Master, what do you think?"
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded: "Then you will lead the way. Deacon Lu does need to heal his wounds first, but you are not bad as a Taoist boy."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Wen Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As for compliments, she doesn't care.
"Misunderstood."
Lin Fan smiled slightly: "I want to say that you have a good vision. Deacon Lu has a bright future. As long as he does not make mistakes, he will become a saint."
"Being able to follow him, even if you are just a Taoist child, your future will definitely be limitless."
Lin Fan was in a good mood and did some "business self-promotion".
Of course, to others, this is just commercial flattery.
It's a common practice to give a sweet date after a slap in the face.
Everyone thought Wen Ruyan would feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, she smiled and said, "Master, what you said is absolutely right. I think so too."
She was not embarrassed or uncomfortable at all, but was proud of it!
"this···"
Lu Ming was speechless.
"Stop talking nonsense and heal your wounds first." At this time, Long Aojiao walked out, grabbed Lu Ming's only shoulder at the moment, and said, "I'll help you!"
Then, he immediately pulled Lu Ming away.
"Master, brothers and sisters from the main lineage, please come this way." Wen Ruyan hurriedly led the way.
Then...
A group of people came into the treasure house.
Since Xiao Ling'er and Yao Lao were also there, the first place they went to was the treasure house where various spiritual medicines were stored.
The moment you enter the treasure house...
Everyone in the main vein was amazed.
"Your Haoyue clan's treasure trove is too..."
"too···"
"It's shabby, isn't it?"
"It really opens my eyes." Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but exclaim.
Yao Lao didn't say anything, but she nodded repeatedly.
This is more than an eye-opener, it's an eye-~~opener!
Really poor.
Especially Xiao Linger secretly compared them and found that the inventory in the spiritual medicine warehouse of Haoyue Sect was not even as good as that of Guiyuan Sect where he had visited before.
但归元宗可只是二流宗门。
且在二流之中都混的不算太好。
结果你堂堂一个皓月宗，竟然连二流宗门都不如？
“你们不老实啊。”
王腾幽幽道：“提前将绝大部分好东西都转移了吧？”
“那你们要是这么玩儿···”
“可就别怪我们主脉针对了。”
温如言无奈苦笑：“各位，这真不是我们做的。”
林凡知道是谁做的。
em···
但他不能说。
只能淡淡看着。
“不是你们做的是谁？皓月一脉的宝库，难道还被外人洗劫了不成？我们可是看的清楚，那些家伙根本没杀进来。”
苏岩嗤笑。
“他们的确没杀进来，也并非外人洗劫。”
温如言尴尬道：“说来惭愧，其实，灵药宝库是被我们曾经的自己人洗劫了。”
“？？？”
“曾经的自己人？”
这个莫名其妙的形容词，让萧灵儿等人都有些意外：“谁？”
“究竟发生了什么？”
“我宗曾经的第三序列，唐武。”事已至此，温如言觉着自己也没有隐瞒的必要，不就是丢脸吗？
反正都已经丢到这种程度了，再丢一点点，也并非是不行。
“唐武？”
萧灵儿诧异：“是他？”
对她而言，唐武可是半点也不陌生。
当初···
差点就弄死唐武来着。
且对方还给自己‘送来’冰灵冷火，从某种角度而言，自己还得谢谢他。
不过，萧灵儿也很清楚，唐武绝对不什么好东西，就冲他能将自己道侣推出来挡伤害这一点，就已然可以断定！
“就是他。”
温如言无奈道：“当初我皓月一脉的皓月仙宫开启，他···”
“最后，不但拆了仙宫、夺走仙晶，还趁着时间差来到灵药宝库，非但将所有灵药之类的宝物一扫而空，甚至还将陆执事重创，最终夺路而逃···”
众人：“···”
宋云霄嘀咕道：“你们皓月一脉···还挺多灾多难的。”
王腾则道：“我看是实力不足，而且脑子也不太好使，否则怎么能被一个唐武骗的团团转？”
萧灵儿：“···”
这一刻，她不由想到自家‘门规’。
你别说···
你还真别说。
师尊他‘老人家’绝对是未卜先知，太有先见之明了！
果然···
姓唐的收不得呀！
至少从唐武这狗日的来看，绝对是不能收姓唐的，这玩意儿恩将仇报都是轻的、属于常规操作。
“看来···”
“日后我也得立下几条规矩。”
“比如，姓唐的朋友不交？”
“再则···”
“不给姓唐的炼丹？”
“反正···”
“就是不能招惹姓唐的！”
萧灵儿暗暗做出如此决定。
也就是此刻，温如言苦笑道：“诸位所言···倒也不无道理，我们的确是大意了，而且也的确是被那唐武骗的团团转。”
“不过，有一点却是需要说清楚的。”
“在那之后，我们皓月一脉曾派出不少大能者前去追杀唐武，虽然没能将他斩杀或是镇压捉拿，但却也数次让他险象环生。”
“而以他那逆天的性格，肯定会记恨我们皓月一脉。”
“再加上当初···”
她看了看萧灵儿：“主脉与他之间也有仇恨，所以，他必然会视揽月宗为仇敌，而此子虽然人品不行、性格逆天，但实力和机缘却也不容小觑。”
“需要小心为上。”
林凡：“···”
卧槽？
他突然反应过来。
“好家伙！”
“我就说忘了什么，原来是唐武这个扑街仔！”
“特娘的···”
“仇恨转移啊！”
“···”
林凡摸着下巴，开始慎重考虑唐武的未来。
简单来说，就是赶紧想办法将他扬了，还是给他机会继续发挥。
毕竟，自家仇敌还是有的。
而且还不少。
若是利用的好，这把刀还是挺有用滴。
譬如皓月宗，其实就被唐武坑的挺惨。
额，当然，其实是自己与唐武合力。
不过就算没有自己，唐武那货也能得手。
所以···
的确是不怪自己。
林凡在琢磨。
而萧灵儿等人在得知灵药宝库就只有这点收藏之后，也就没了继续看下去的欲望，转而去其他宝库。
这次，倒是收获颇丰。
不过···
他们不好意思、也不能全部拿走，毕竟人家皓月一脉自己还是需要发展的。
······
于此同时，皓月一脉，上上下下，所有人的心情都格外复杂。
好在，长老、执事们很快前来安抚。
目前一切照旧。
只是从皓月宗弟子，变成了揽月宗皓月支脉弟子。
同时，序列弟子的降为亲传弟子。
除此之外，倒是没有太大变化。
而顾青云等人，则是吭哧吭哧全力以赴修补阵法。
翌日，清晨。
皓月一脉护宗大阵重新亮起，当光幕出现，重新将整个皓月一脉都笼罩在内时，他们终于松了口气。
也就是此刻，陆鸣再度现身。
在龙傲娇的帮助下，耗费一天一夜，成功恢复。
实则···
这是给人看的。
以陆鸣的实力，若是想要恢复，仙气随便转上几圈，那看似恐怖的伤势，不需盏茶时间便可彻底复原。
不过···
不装的惨烈一些，如何让长老和弟子们进一步归心？！
而陆鸣恢复后的第一件事，便是将皓月一脉众长老唤来议事。
他目光扫过众人，最终，在大长老脸上微微停顿，而后沉声道：“这次会议···意义有些复杂。”
“从今往后，咱们便不是独立的宗门了。”
“而是揽月宗皓月一脉。”
“我知道，这个结果在场许多人都难以接受，我也同样如此，但米已成粥，此事已成定局，且有誓言在，我等也没办法做什么出格之事。”
“唉。”
一声长叹之后，陆鸣缓缓接着道：“与其独自生闷气、难受，与其一边难受、纠结一边却也还要为主脉那边做这做那。”
“我的意见是，倒不如尝试着接受。”
“尝试着以全新的身份继续修行、生存下去。”
“至少如此一来，不会那般难受与纠结。”
“心情也会好上许多。”
“毕竟···”
“也没有别的办法了，不是吗？”
二长老如今是陆鸣的忠实拥护者，闻听此言，立刻点头道：“的确，总执事所言极是！与其自我困扰，还不如放下过去，拥抱未来。”
“虽然如此看似有些没心没肺，但我们没的选。”
“若是整日困扰自己，恐怕···还会诞生心魔，得不偿失啊！”
顾青云叹道：“倒也不无道理。”
长老们纷纷点头。
其实···
这些话，他们都听的明白。
道理呢，也是大家都懂。
可能否办到，却又是另外一回事儿了。
可事到如今，也没的选了，只能逐渐去适应。
适应不了···
也只能强行适应。
“诸位能理解便好。”
陆鸣随即道：“除此之外，还有几件事。”
“其一，咱们之中有内鬼，这点，相信没有人会怀疑吧？”
说起内鬼，众人的神色尽皆变的极为微妙。
不少人的目光都落在大长老身上，随即又缓缓挪开。
大长老顿感如芒在背。
这让他再次懵逼。
这特么究竟什么鬼啊！
你们都这般盯着我作甚？
我特么招你们惹你们了？
还是说···
你们特么以为我是卧底？！
大长老突然反应过来。
说到水跳子，所有人都看向自己，而且眼神那般微妙，分明就是在说，自己特么的便是卧底啊！
简直是岂有此理！
老夫为皓月宗，不是，为皓月一脉拼了一辈子，怀疑老夫是水跳子？
我他妈！
大长老蹭的一声站起来，正要说话，却听陆鸣又道：“不过，都过去了。”
“以前是以前，现在是现在。”
大长老一愣。
陆鸣接着道：“以往是皓月宗，且大家都是自己人，因此，并未要求立下誓言，但如今，大家都是揽月宗皓月支脉之人，也都立下了誓言，纵然是想当水跳子，也没机会了吧？”
“所以···”
“念在水跳子未曾造成大错、未曾万劫不复，且念在在场所有人都对‘皓月宗’有不可磨灭的贡献的份儿上，我可以不追究过去。”
“甚至都不必查出来你是谁，也不用惩罚于你。”
“但在此之后，却是再不可乱来了。”
“否则···”
陆鸣深吸一口气，缓缓道：“我···几乎算是死过一次的人了。”
“而从今往后，皓月一脉出任何问题，我都要直接负责。”
“换言之，这个水跳子若是再乱来，出了岔子，背锅的，便是我。”
“这···与杀我何异？”
“所以，若是再敢乱来，我却是定然不会饶了他的。”
“···”
二长老瞪了大长老一眼，这才道：“总执事英明！”
顾青云暗暗叹息，道：“总执事大气。”
众长老也是连忙表示支持，便暗暗松了口气。
倒并非他们都是水跳子，而是害怕。
害怕自己朝夕相处、乃至自己的身边人是水跳子。
毕竟至少都是几千上万年的交情了。
若是陆鸣要追究到底，自己等人说不定便要跟老兄弟拼死拼活干仗，这可不是什么好消息。
抛开过去···
就好似新皇登基大赦天下，从某种意义上来说，倒也没毛病。
当然，前提是皓月一脉并没有遭受不可挽回的损失，否则···那必然得将水跳子找出来并弄死，没得商量了。
“这？”
大长老浑身发麻。
究竟什么鬼啊？！
他妈的，这就被‘特赦’了？
可是，我并不是水跳子啊！
若是不说清楚，我岂不是要背负水跳子的名声，到死为止？
甚至死了之后都要被人指指点点、各种唾骂？
岂有此理！！
不行，绝对不行。
我得自证。
我得说清楚。
他张口便道：“总执事，诸位长老，此事与我无关啊！”
“对对对，与你无关。”二长老呵呵一笑。
其余长老也是缓缓点头：“对，与你无关。”
“我们也没说与你有关啊？”
“大长老您多虑了，您一个大长老，怎么可能是水跳子呢？何况你这些年来为宗门尽心尽力，我们可是都看在眼中啊。”
“是极是极！”
“大长老莫要多心，这个水跳子，就算是我，也不可能是您嘛！”
“对对对，总执事，咱们还是商量下一个问题吧。”
“是啊，总执事。”
大长老：“[○｀Д○]！！！”
我屮艸芔茻？！
这···
你们他妈的说得真好听啊，可是你们的表情，还有我特么对你们的了解告诉我，你们在说反话。
在阴阳我！
他们在阴阳我啊！！！
大长老怒气冲冲盯着陆鸣。
二长老看不下去了，哼道：“大长老，你瞪什么呢？！”
“难道你对总执事的安排不满？”
“我不是、我没有、你胡说！”
“那不就得了？！”
“坐下！”
二长老呵斥。
大长老：“···？！”
我他妈！！！
他麻了。
这他妈绝对是百口莫辩啊！
他还想说点什么。
陆鸣却也不给他机会，直接道：“那咱们就开始下一个话题。”
其实···
他这么做，自然是有原因滴。
毕竟，水跳子就是自己。
若是非要追查下去，万一露馅了呢？
还不如‘特赦’一番，如此一来，大家都能接受，还有人背锅，何乐而不为。emmmmm，当然，大长老或许有点不满。
但咱岂能给你机会澄清？
陆鸣直接开启下一个话题：“宗主昨日所说，大家也都亲耳听到了。”
“咱们皓月一脉可以自治，换言之从某种角度而言，咱们与以往其实没什么变化，也就不用担心那许多。”
“但有一点。”
“咱们现在是揽月宗的分支，因此，主脉那边有什么福利，咱们···自然也是要分一杯羹的。”
“所以，我准备去找宗主索要福利、月例等。”
“尤其是丹药！”
“有丹塔在，岂能亏待了咱们？必须尽快要来，最好是从下个月开始，便人手一份！”
“诸位以为如何？”
众人一听，顿时双目放光。
这还有什么好考虑的？
简直不要太好了好吧？！
“极好，极好！”
“总执事所言极是啊！”
“就该如此！”
“不说别的，若是能立马拿到丹塔那边弄过来的丹药，我觉着，对于被揽月宗统治这一点，其实也并非那么难以接受嘛！”
“有道理！”
“其实，大家心里都有些不舒服，但若是能拿到丹药，这就相当于占便宜。”
“在此之前，除了被救之外，几乎全是坏处，可若是有好处了，咳咳，是吧？”
“那么···总执事，拜托了！”
众人都觉得这个提议极好。
能拿好处，那自然是越早越好，毕竟月例是每个月发放，早一天拿，就能早日多拿一份嘛。
但···
二长老眉头一皱，道：“此事好是好，但咱们才刚刚加入揽月宗这一点，诸位却是莫要忘记。”
“刚加入就要好处，而且咱们皓月一脉的弟子何其多？比主脉多出近百倍了吧？”
“如此大量的资源···”
“恐怕，宗主和主脉会不愿意啊。”
“恐怕，总执事会被质疑、嘲讽，乃至谩骂的。”
“这···”
众人一愣。
随即有些尴尬的张了张嘴，但一时间，却也是说不出话来了。
这话吧，还真没毛病。
让陆鸣去，这不就是让陆鸣去挨喷吗这？
说这话，谁好意思呀！
但陆鸣却是淡然一笑：“无妨。”
“不记得我说过的话么？为了宗门，我愿意付出一切。”
“纵然如今咱们皓月一脉已并非独立宗门，但这话依然有效，为了咱们皓月一脉，我愿付出一切！”
“被质疑、被骂、被嘲讽算的了什么？”
“只要能尽快将丹药弄过来，能让咱们这一脉的弟子、长老以更快的速度提升实力，比什么都重要！”
“此事，就这么定了！”
“休要再说其他！”
“总执事！”
这一刻，众人顿时眼泪汪汪。
陆鸣大手一挥：“就这般说定了！”
“我去也！”
“诸位负责维持好咱们皓月一脉的诸多日常，断然不能出现任何乱子。”
“还有，弟子们的情绪也要照顾好，不能让他们产生不满，要引导他们尽量不在意此事，同时···多多宣扬一下揽月宗的正面形象吧。”
“毕竟，咱们想要丹药，哪怕是做做样子呢？”
“我此去，会尽快回来。”
“这段时间宗内一切，就交给诸位长老了。”
“对了，还有件事。”
“炎阳神宫、暗影魔宫、星海盟之仇，暂且莫要着急。”
“有机会的！”
陆鸣面色渐狠：“我此去主脉，也会就此事与宗主他们商量，尽可能让他们安排上一些人手，等咱们这边准备完毕之后，一同前去复仇。”
“他们三宗···”
“也没有什么存在的必要了。”
“拿下他们，纵然咱们只能分到其中很少一部分好处，也足以让咱们重新富裕起来。”
“说起来，唐武那个畜生···”大长老眉头皱起：“待此间事了，宗主，我得再带些人手，去将唐武那畜生缉拿归来！”
“此事···，之后再说。”
“是。”
见大长老那咬牙切齿的模样，陆鸣心中却是在悄然吐槽。
唐武那货···
虽然是主角中的地板砖、下水道，但好歹也是货真价实的主角模板。
真到那时候···
你能不能干得过他都是个问题哟~
······
半个时辰后，陆鸣出发。
随之出发的，还有温如言。
其实呢···
自己跟自己‘扯皮’、‘谈判’，根本不需要多想什么，完完全全就能轻松搞定。
可是，带个人，演一场戏，能增加可信度嘛！
回来之后吹嘘一波，还能给自己增加声望，何乐而不为？
其后···
陆鸣以皓月一脉总执事身份来到揽月宗。
作为道童的温如言忙前忙后。
只是···
当她看着张灯结彩、一片欢腾的主脉，却还是不由沉默了。
哪怕她早已做好心理准备，但当她第二次来到揽月宗···现在应该称之为主脉。
看着欢庆的主脉，她良久无言。
突然有一种人类的悲欢并不相同之感。
甚至···
还有一种，人家的笑容，是建立在自己痛苦之上不适感。
很难受。
但···
这是事实。
也唯有接受。
随即。
他便见到陆鸣为皓月一脉的福利与林凡据理力争，被嘲讽、被质疑，甚至被谩骂。
但陆鸣都坚持下来了！
愣是硬着头皮，赖在主脉不走了！
不给丹药就不走。
足足半个月···
到最后，宗主实在是被磨的不耐烦了，才终于松口，并将第一批丹药给了陆鸣。
那是···
一个月的月例！
并且承诺，之后的月例都不会断时，让温如言心疼了足足半个月的陆鸣，才终于露出笑容。
“总执事。”
温如言心疼的心都快化了。
在她看来，陆鸣完全可以不用承受这一切的。
若是孤身一人、若是不管皓月一脉的话，他完全能过的比任何人都轻松，都逍遥自在。
可是，他没有！
为了皓月一脉，他放弃了个人荣辱、放弃了一切，一心为皓月一脉谋取未来···
皓月一脉，亏欠的太多了呀！！！
······
当日。
陆鸣与温如言返程。
当大批量丹药分发下来，且上到太上长老、下到杂役弟子人人有份之后···
皓月一脉上下，那些个乱七八糟的情绪，突然就消失了。
当然，未曾完全消失。
但是···
至少‘面儿’上，是半点也看不到了。
能看到的是，一片欢腾与喜悦。
只因···
给的太多了！！！
杂役弟子两枚同境界修行类丹药。
外门弟子四枚！
内门六枚。
亲传···
九枚！！！
长老···
十枚！！！
甚至，数量都不是关键点，关键点在于，全都是七品以上丹药！
亲传弟子与长老们服用的，甚至还有八品与九品！
几乎能吃撑的数量，加上如此高的质量。
这特码谁还有话说？！
When the elixir was in hand, when they opened the jade bottle and saw clearly what elixir they had been allocated...
All the messy emotions disappeared.
There are only two words left: F*ck!
"Is this the usual treatment at the main branch?!"
Whether it was the elders or the disciples, their eyes were red at this moment!
Damn.
If I always receive this kind of treatment, why would I worry about not being able to take off?
Even for old guys like us, there may be opportunities to make further progress, right? !
"No, it isn't."
Facing everyone's questions, Wen Ruyan slowly shook his head.
An elder breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You scared me. I told you so."
"If the main branch always treats people like this, what will happen?"
"I think the reason why we are so popular this time is because the chief deacon has worked hard and tried his best to get it, right?"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Wen Ruyan's lips trembled slightly, and then he said, "Elder Lu has indeed paid too much for this trip."
"I can't even describe the injustice he suffered. Just thinking about it makes me cry."
"but···"
"But what?"
"What I meant just now is not that the treatment of the main vein is usually worse than ours now."
"???"
The elders were all stunned.
"What is that?"
"Their usual treatment is better than ours now."
Everyone: “???!”
Everyone was numb.
"You...are you serious?"
"Um."
Wen Ruyan smiled bitterly and said, "The monthly allowances for menial servants, inner and outer sect disciples, and core disciples are one more than ours, and the quality will be higher. As for the personal disciples and elders..."
"As long as you make sure you are taking it yourself and not wasting it, there is no limit on the supply."
"If you can finish it, you can take it."
The elders: “???!”
For a moment, everyone stared.
What the fuck???
The last second we felt like we were about to take off. With such good treatment, we would definitely be extremely awesome.
And now you tell us that our treatment is actually nothing? ? ?
The last second we thought it was so delicious.
But···
It hasn't even been a few seconds since we started smelling it, and you're already feeding us shit, right?
Still smells good?
It smells like shit! It doesn't smell like anything now, right? ! !
Uncomfortable!
It feels so uncomfortable!
We're gonna cry!
"no···"
Gu Qingyun couldn't help but complain: "We are both elders of the Lanyue Sect, why is there such a big difference in treatment?"
"Actually... it's not that bad."
Lu Ming sighed, "Generally speaking, eating ten pills a month is the most you can do. A Tianjiao might be able to 'digest' more than ten pills, but the difference is actually not that big."
"That's true, but... we are both elders of the Lanyue Sect, this is not fair!"
What is worrying is not the scarcity but the inequality.
Who the hell can be happy about this?
"There's nothing I can do about it. I've tried my best."
Lu Ming sighed: "The main lineage, or the clan leader, means that we, the Haoyue lineage, have just joined. We don't have any sense of belonging, no merit, and no achievements. Giving us a monthly salary is already because I am shameless..."
"Only reducing one is a great honor."
“If you want more, you have to make achievements, prove your worth, and feel a sense of belonging.”
“This…is actually not difficult to understand.”
"What do you think?"
"It's indeed not difficult to understand." Everyone smiled bitterly.
Everyone understands the truth.
But···
Still want more!
This moment...
They suddenly felt that perhaps they should indeed have a sense of belonging to the Lanyue Sect. After all, the matter was a foregone conclusion and they could not change anything.
If you can feel a sense of belonging and get better benefits, why not?
By the way, we still need to make some achievements and perform some merits~! (End of this chapter)
