Just as Su Lin was about to step out the door, he heard rustling footsteps coming from outside the secret room.
"Um?"
Su Lin was on guard, drawing his sword into a fighting stance, but quickly relaxed a little.
He recognized the footsteps of the approaching group as belonging to the disciples of the Shuyu Heavenly Palace. These people possessed unique cultivation methods and internal energy, and their footsteps were noticeably different from others.
A moment later, the figure of the White Fairy appeared in front of Su Lin, followed by a group of sect disciples who were walking through the secret tunnel with their heads down.
"Huh? Senior Brother Su!"
The White Fairy was somewhat surprised and put away her weapon: "What are you doing here? I heard the sound of the wall collapsing not far away and thought that some remnants were fighting with disciples from another sect."
"It was the noise I made by breaking the wall. I came here to help my fellow disciples, and then I searched for the remaining enemies and found a secret room here, so I came to investigate."
Su Lin explained softly, and the White Fairy nodded, her gaze falling on the large amount of gold and silver treasures displayed in the secret room.
The disciples behind her mostly looked on in astonishment, with a hint of greed occasionally showing in their eyes.
Even martial artists need to make a living; wealth is one of the ultimate goals pursued by humankind in any world.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother."
The White Fairy, a woman of the world, did not lose her composure. She glanced at the area and smiled faintly, saying, "This place is full of treasures. Senior Brother has made a great harvest this time, and his luck is quite good."
"Don't worry, senior brother. A gentleman does not take what others love. Since it is your achievement, I will take my people and leave now."
The White Fairy bowed and was about to turn and leave.
She was implying to Su Lin that she could pretend she didn't see it, that all these things belonged to Su Lin, and that she wouldn't tell anyone.
This is both a way of doing a favor and a tacit understanding between the two parties.
Since disciples from various sects are forced to fight and risk their lives, those above naturally condone acts of plundering wealth.
But Su Lin is not a local NPC, so he has no use for this wealth. Even if he takes it out, he cannot buy or sell items in the waiting area.
"Fairy, please wait!"
Su Lin's expression turned serious, and he called out to Fairy Bai, "You've come at the right time. Please take these items and hand them over to the respective sects."
"ah?"
The White Fairy was taken aback, then turned around and blinked: "Senior Brother Su, aren't you going to take it back? This is your spoils!"
"What do you mean, yours or mine!"
Su Lin said solemnly, "These all belong to our righteous sects! How can we be concerned with petty gains? Eliminating evil is a matter of utmost importance for all of us on the path. How could I covet these gold and silver valuables! Take them all, I don't want them!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Shuyu Heavenly Palace all showed expressions of surprise and shock, looking at Su Lin in disbelief.
Why would you turn down such a huge benefit that you found yourself?
The higher-ups have tacitly allowed you to embezzle it, yet you insist on handing it over to the sect.
Good heavens, what kind of personality do you have? You've gone mad with righteousness!
The White Fairy was also extremely surprised, looking Su Lin up and down as if trying to find out something.
Unfortunately, Su Lin only had an upright demeanor; he wasn't actually faking it.
"Senior Brother Su's integrity is truly admirable!"
The White Fairy took a deep breath, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, and exclaimed sincerely, "Sword Gentleman has such a son; truly a family with excellent traditions! He is a role model for us all!"
She was sincere. As an important disciple of the Shuyu Heavenly Palace, Fairy Bai naturally knew about the dealings between good and evil. Looking at all the righteous sects, she found very few people as upright and righteous as Su Lin! He was consistent inside and out!
Look at Senior Brother Su's enlightenment! No wonder Sword Pavilion is the number one righteous sect; its educational foundation is truly impressive!
Xiao Linlin, standing next to her, laughed so hard her eyes crinkled. She was really trying to hold it in.
The most valuable items in this place have long been taken by Su Lin; these gold and silver valuables are nothing but trash to the players.
Not only did Su Lin reject these scumbags, but when it came time to escape, he also made sure to uphold the correct stance of his role-playing identity in front of the NPCs, promoting the excellent virtues of a righteous disciple who embodies truth, goodness, and beauty.
To be honest, the older brother seems to be in a pretty good mood right now.
"Since you say so, I will do my best to assist you and will truthfully report your achievements."
As soon as Fairy Bai finished speaking, Su Lin disappeared into the secret passage, seemingly about to leave.
"Hey! Senior brother, where are you going? Aren't we going to escort the treasure together?"
"The great battle is not over yet, how can I bear to see my peers suffering? Of course I must go and help them!"
"Then, senior brother, you're just entrusting these things to me like this?"
"certainly."
Without turning his head, Su Lin casually tossed out a sentence: "Fairy, I only trust you."
"Senior brother!"
The White Fairy was moved and stood there stunned for a long time before she could recover.
......
Su Lin quickly walked away, reintegrating into the city to find new low-income assistance and containers for red supplies.
He couldn't care less what Fairy Bai thought. It didn't matter if the Shuyu Heavenly Palace swallowed all the wealth; it was all trash anyway.
When Xiao Linlin realized that no one was around, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Big brother, you're so naughty!"
"You looked so incredibly cool just now! Fairy Bai must think you're an extraordinary righteous disciple and will really look at you in a new light!"
"So what?"
Su Lin shrugged indifferently: "Anyway, we're going to escape, so teasing the NPCs is not bad."
He was just playing around and didn't care how the White Fairy viewed him.
As the two joked around, Su Lin continued to search for the minimum living allowance along the map. According to the map, there were 8 minimum living allowance marked areas in the entire Netherworld Blood River Sect, far exceeding the three minimum living allowance areas in the Sword Pavilion!
