The three of them saw the blue paper that Chenghui handed over.
It simply stated some confidentiality clauses, and didn't emphasize the consequences of breach of contract. It seemed to have little effect.
But Tang Wen knew that this was the special paper used when Cangxia Sect issued internal regulations!
Whatever was written on it would be recognized by the Ningqing Mountains. If it was violated, there would be serious consequences! As for what the consequences were, Tang Wen was not sure.
"Just...sign it?" Lu Lin was a little unbelievable.
Tang Wen was silent.
The fact that they were able to obtain this kind of paper meant that their corruption of the Cangxia Sect had reached a terrifying level! If I could escape, I would definitely inform Master of this!
No matter what the consequences!!
"sign!"
Five minutes later.
The three were freed.
"Let's go." Chenghui put away the confidentiality clause and pointed in the direction of the corridor.
The three of them looked at each other and left quickly.
"So, simple?" Qi Jia asked in a low voice, "Could there be a trick? For example, there's some monster or trap at the end of this passage..."
"That's not the case." Tang Wen whispered and quickly told the two of them the information on the blue paper.
"This matter is of great importance. If..."
"Shh, let's talk outside."
The three of them moved forward silently, and soon they arrived at the second stone chamber.
The one who greeted the three people was Chengying, who was dressed in purple robes.
Chengying had a seductive smile on his face. He looked at the three of them and said, "Do you really think you can leave here? Hehehe..."
The three of them suddenly felt like they were falling into an ice cellar.
Lu Lin recognized her; this was the female cultivator who had been conspiring with Yin Yugan that day to embezzle the sect's wealth!
The air stagnated for a few seconds.
Lu Lin suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Chengying, shouting, "Run!"
Tang Wen and Qi Jia did not run away, but also burst out with weak spiritual energy, took an attacking stance, and attacked Cheng Ying!
However, three tiny white lights appeared out of nowhere and tied up the three people directly, stopping their attacks effortlessly.
The Zhengxuan Sect's martial arts style that Chengying practiced was called Jingwei, and his specialty was control.
"it's over."
Chengying uttered three words softly.
Lu Lin felt bitter in his heart, but what came to his mind was a bowl of chicken leg rice that had nothing to do with the crisis.
Tang Wen mobilized his spiritual energy and kept trying to break free from the restraints.
Qi Jia, on the other hand, stared at Cheng Ying, as if he had thought of something.
A green light was thrown out from Chengying's hand.
"Bang!"
Green light exploded!
Lu Lin closed his eyes subconsciously.
But the expected pain did not appear.
After waiting for five seconds, nothing happened.
I opened my eyes tentatively and saw only some floating green light.
"It's time to call it a day." Chengying took the signed confidentiality agreement from Chenghui, who had already taken off his mask, took a look at it, and put it back in his pocket.
Chenghui had a complicated expression on his face as he stood with his back to the three of them.
Cheng Ling also took off her mask and looked at Qi Jia.
"Ah???" Qi Jia was shocked.
"Let's go back." At this time, Cheng Yi appeared from a corridor.
"ah?????"
“Master!???”
Indescribable strange expressions appeared on the faces of the three people.
"This is Senior Chengying..."
Cheng Yi smiled and briefly introduced Chengying to the three of them.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Lin followed the crowd and walked out of the stone building in a trance.
"...This stone prison has a great history." Cheng Yi turned and said to the three people, "Back then, Cheng Ying interrogated a group of cultivators who had offended our sect right here. Of course, the stone prison back then hadn't expanded to its current size."
Tang Wen asked, "Master, is this stone prison the prison of our sect?"
"You could say that," Cheng Yi said. "However, this prison hasn't held many people. After the expansion, it only held a few disciples who had fought and quarreled within the sect, disrupting the harmony of the sect."
Qi Jia and Cheng Ling were chatting and laughing beside them.
"I'm leaving now. See you later, Old Cheng." Cheng Ying waved at Cheng Yi, then walked over to Lu Lin and smiled warmly, "Little Lu Lin, see you later."
Lu Lin shuddered and nodded hurriedly.
The four masters and apprentices said goodbye to Chengying and his group and watched them leave.
"Any other questions?" Cheng Yi looked at the three of them.
"Master," Lu Lin said, "Could it be that you have also gone along with that woman?"
"Ah?" Cheng Yi was stunned and immediately denied it. "What are you thinking, kid? How could I, your teacher, be complicit in this corruption? Besides, how could Chengying be corrupt?"
Lu Lin told Cheng Yi what he had seen that day.
After hearing this, Cheng Yi showed a somewhat amusing and helpless expression.
"Lu Lin, within our Cangxia Sect, there's an assessment indicator called contribution. As the name suggests, the more things you do to help the sect, the more contribution you'll make. And contributions can be exchanged for almost anything you need for cultivation within the sect."
"But! Contribution is mainly to provide convenience for the disciples."
"People like me, Chengying, and Elder Sun all have a certain contribution quota every month."
"This contribution amount can be used to issue tasks to disciples, and at the same time, it can be directly exchanged for supplies in the sect."
Lu Lin asked doubtfully: "Then..."
"Oh!..." Qi Jia looked as if he had understood. "Senior Chengying was too embarrassed to exchange it directly, so he asked this disciple to help him!"
"Ah???" Lu Lin was a little confused.
"Junior brother, it's like this... Senior brother, listen carefully too." Qi Jia pulled the two of them over and began to explain the ways of the world to them.
The contribution point mechanism is like a school cafeteria.
The school cafeteria is mainly open to students, which is the student cafeteria in the usual sense.
Generally speaking, teachers do not eat in the student cafeteria.
But the Cangxia Sect does not have a separate teachers' cafeteria.
Therefore, the contribution points of the disciples are like the money in the teachers' meal cards, which are not easy to spend.
Chengying's search for dried silverfish to cash in is like a teacher giving his meal card to a student and asking him to buy two meals, one for him and one for himself.
After he finished speaking, the two of them seemed to understand but not quite.
Lu Lin felt lost.
…
"By the way, Master, have you been watching us all along?"
"You guys are doing great, keep it up..."
“Master!!”
"Master has something important to attend to, so I'll leave first."
Cheng Yi simply shook off the three people and left quickly.
