Before we knew it, three days had passed.
Three days have passed since that great battle, and the Qingzong Sect has returned to normal, leaving only the devastated battlefield.
Xiao Feng's injuries had healed, and the system revoked the time of the experience card, while also slightly improving his strength, leaving him feeling refreshed.
As usual, he arrived at the sect hall and immediately saw the sect leader sitting there with a worried expression.
When the sect leader saw Xiao Feng enter the hall, he calmly stepped down from above and asked, "Your injuries should have healed by now, right?"
Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "Sect Master, my injuries have completely healed. I wonder what to do with the damaged buildings in the sect?"
The sect had no reason to maintain this style; they needed to spend a considerable amount of money to repair those houses.
Compared to the two sects, their losses were relatively smaller.
The death of a seventh-level elder in the Flame Sect is undoubtedly the heaviest blow they could ever suffer.
The sect leader looked at Xiao Feng and asked about the situation within the sect, then sighed, "The sect sent people to start repairing the houses a long time ago, but unfortunately there has been no progress."
When Xiao Feng learned that the sect had already arranged for people to repair the houses, he frowned slightly: "What is the meaning of this? Why don't we send a disciple over to take a look?"
As the sect leader's personal disciple, his status is extremely prominent, and it's believed that some people within the sect should give him some face.
The sect leader nodded slightly as he watched Xiao Feng plan to oversee the house repairs for him: "If someone is watching over things, this matter can be expedited."
Now that he had the sect leader's decree, Xiao Feng naturally had no intention of wasting time and went to the severely damaged areas of the sect.
Many sect disciples sat on the ground with worried expressions, showing no intention of repairing the houses.
When they saw Xiao Feng coming in front of them, they couldn't help but say to him, "Senior Brother, you've come."
Seeing that they hadn't moved yet, Xiao Feng pointed to the damaged houses beside him and said, "Get moving as soon as possible. Don't waste time. This is the face of our Qing Sect."
He originally thought that the Qingzong disciples did not repair their houses simply because they were lazy; no one expected that they had other reasons.
One of the Qingzong disciples approached Xiao Feng, his face full of trouble: "Senior brother, we don't have enough funds, so... we can't do anything about it."
When the others saw that someone had spoken the truth, they all nodded in agreement: "That's right, how can we possibly complete and repair the houses if we don't have enough funds?"
Xiao Feng frowned slightly when he heard that they did not have sufficient funds: "The sect leader gave you sufficient funds, so don't talk nonsense."
Qingzong had no intention of being stingy; as soon as the repairs were arranged, they provided ample funding.
According to the sect leader, the money they gave this time was not only enough to repair the houses, but also enough for them to buy a lot of medicine and weapons for their own use.
Now, people here say they haven't received enough money, and there must be a reason for that.
Xiao Feng placed his hand in front of them and chuckled, "How much money did the higher-ups give you? Let me see now."
The group exchanged glances, took out the funds they had been given to repair their house, and placed them in Xiao Feng's hand.
When he saw that they only had so little money, he glanced at them with a look of surprise: "With so little money, it probably won't even be enough to buy materials, will it?"
The Qingzong sect has always been a reasonable sect. They arrange for their disciples to repair houses, and each disciple can receive a considerable income.
Now, they don't even have enough money for materials, let alone their wages.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Wait here for me a while. I'll go and explain things to the sect leader."
Hearing that Xiao Feng intended to go directly to the sect leader, they readily agreed and returned to their seats.
In their view, if Xiao Feng told the sect leader about what was going on here, the sect leader would understand why they were not repairing the houses.
Before long, Xiao Feng returned to the sect's main hall and recounted everything he had seen.
When the sect leader heard him say that there wasn't enough money to repair the house, he frowned slightly: "This situation has been going on for a long time."
Each time she had to repair the house, it cost five or six times the usual price, which made her vaguely suspicious.
Seeing the sect leader's astonished expression, Xiao Feng immediately realized that someone in the sect had taken the money.
Otherwise, the sect would have no reason to spend so much money to renovate a small house.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then glanced at the sect leader and said, "Sect leader, I have a way to investigate this matter, but I need your cooperation."
The sect leader was eager to find out the truth as soon as possible, and nodded slightly: "As long as you can find out the truth, I will do whatever you say."
Xiao Feng chuckled as he saw that the sect leader had agreed, "We'll allocate some money to them, and I'll strictly control those who handle the money."
If money is found to be missing at any stage, it naturally indicates that there is a problem at that stage.
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng was merely playing a supervisory role, the sect leader burst into laughter: "Then it's up to you. You can ask for whatever amount of money you need."
In order to lure the snake out of its hole, he will need to spend a lot of money this time.
The sect leader had already entrusted this matter to Xiao Feng, so he naturally didn't meddle and let him take the money from the sect.
As before, the sect leader personally gave the money to the elders he trusted, instructing them to pass it on to the disciples who were repairing the houses.
Xiao Feng followed behind, his eyes fixed on the specific amount, trying to see at what point the amount had sharply decreased.
Before long, Xiao Feng saw that the disciple in the last round had taken nearly seven-tenths of the prize money and put it in his pocket, so he immediately stopped him.
When he saw Xiao Feng appear in front of him, he glanced at him with a slightly guilty look: "Senior brother, what do you mean by this? This money is all for them."
Xiao Feng glanced at the money in his hand and sneered, "How much money did the sect leader give you in total? It's not right for you to keep that money in your own hands, is it?"
With just a few words, the disciple understood that Xiao Feng had deliberately come to capture him, and he retreated repeatedly, trying to leave the place.
However, Xiao Feng's strength far surpassed his own, so how could he let him leave his sight so easily?
He stomped hard on the ground, his body shooting out like a cannonball, landing in front of him and grabbing him.
"You think you can just take the money and run? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Come with me and tell me what you've done."
