Chapter 84: More Money
The spirit boat left the Supreme Sect and landed in the courtyard of Junding Mansion in Dingjiu City.
There were not only the three of them traveling today, there were also the monks and Shao Fei sent by Feixing to rescue people.
The Feixing Sect member had just paid the fine and apologized honestly. When he looked up, he saw three people with different expressions. The handsome man had a solemn expression, the cold woman had an unpredictable expression, and the younger one beside them had a smile on his face.
There was no good meaning in that smile. It seemed like he was just looking down on everyone in the world, as if he was just there for fun.
"I am the 100th generation disciple of the Supreme Sect, Mo Lin."
When the man heard these names, he knew that these were the three ancestors he wanted to take with him on the journey.
The two outer disciples of Feixing Sect were caught for their evil deeds. Logically, the sect would not care and would just expel them. How much are outer disciples worth? Why would they need to come to redeem themselves?
But that disciple harmed the direct disciples of the Supreme Sect and ate people on the Supreme Sect’s territory. He was detained by Junding Prefecture. What is Junding Prefecture?
In the past, when the great demons who caused chaos were captured, they had to write a confession to be made public. It is still posted on a board in the avenue in front of Junding Mansion. It is replaced with a new one every day, and there are daily feelings of repentance every day. This has been going on for more than 500 years.
Would the demon really admit his mistakes? But Junding Mansion had a way to make the demon write the confession in person.
God knows what kind of horrible torture the big demon suffered in Junding Mansion.
The Wushang Sect is the largest sect in Zhongzhou. No sect in Zhongzhou dares to be its enemy.
Did the sect elders send him here to pay the fine? That was a payment out of social etiquette.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Master Mo Lin, I am Tao Xian, the eldest disciple of Master Yin Zhong of the Feixing Sect."
"It was the failure of our outer sect elders to discipline you that caused the two evildoers to cause trouble and harm you. I am truly sorry. I am here to apologize on behalf of the Feixing sect. We will definitely take full responsibility for this matter."
"I heard that you were going to southern Yunnan. The elders said that the situation in southern Yunnan is complicated. In order to avoid any accidental harm to you, I will serve as a guide to help you avoid any trouble."
Tao Xian lowered his head and spoke impassionedly when he heard the sound of breaking iron chains behind him.
He turned around and saw the outer disciple who was escorted here by the guards of Junding Mansion.
The girl looked pale, with dark circles under her eyes, and although she was dressed neatly, she looked as if she had suffered a lot inside. She was swaying like willow catkins in the wind, and her pretty eyes and brows were full of haggardness. She had forbidden spirit buckles on her hands and ankles, and the chains connecting the buckles rubbed and collided when she walked, making a clanging sound.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes the moment Shao Fei appeared, and used his spiritual consciousness to send a message to Xia Tianwu, "So how much fine did Feixing Sect pay to redeem her?"
"Fifty thousand," Xia Tianwu said calmly.
"That's not much." Lin Du's eyes suddenly showed a hint of murderous intent.
"Top-grade spirit stone." Xia Tianwu's light voice echoed in her consciousness.
Lin Du has stopped his activities, so everything is fine.
That is one tenth of Yanye.
Fifty thousand high-quality spirit stones, this year's annual allowance for all positions in Junding Prefecture can be fully distributed ahead of schedule.
The dungeon's revenue generation method is still good.
Collecting rent and taxes is not as good as imposing fines.
"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, does she have to wear it like this forever?" Tao Xian met Shao Fei's eyes and felt a little reluctant.
Monks have spiritual power, so after some minor injuries or fatigue, they can use spiritual power to slowly recover. The soul-locking buckle locks the spiritual power of the monks, and the people who are locked are no different from ordinary people. There are also curse rings, and once the commandments are triggered, there will be several different levels of punishment.
In serious cases, they are strangled directly.
"It was too painful to travel this far. How could a young girl like her bear such gazes? Moreover, a cultivator cannot use his spiritual power. If she is so haggard, I am afraid that her internal injuries cannot be healed, which will also affect her life span."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle.
Then a slightly contemptuous voice came down, "You know that too?"
"Then who should I look for to settle the account of my great nephew who has been harmed and cannot use his spiritual power?"
Tao Xian looked at the younger one in surprise. Just as he was about to apologize and explain, he heard the exquisite young monk continue, "Besides, it doesn't matter if you get stabbed in the eye. If you enter the evil ways of Junding Prefecture, don't you have to write a confession and have it made public?"
Lin Du tilted his head and smiled. Since he couldn't kill her now, it would be good to let her die socially.
"I'm really sorry. We will definitely take full responsibility for Taoist Mo Lin's matter. But according to the order of the elder, we must bring this person back to the sect. I hope the young Taoist priest will understand."
"It's not my business to understand you. There's heaven when you're alive, and there's hell when you're dead," Lin Du raised his chin, "but you've said so much, but you've never really taken responsibility for my great nephew."
"Aren't we going to the Miao village together to find a way to cure the snake? What do you mean by being responsible, young Taoist priest?"
Tao Xian was used to dealing with people in this way, and now he had to bow his head under their eaves. He humbly asked these people what their intentions were, whether they wanted Shao Fei to pay for his life?
The elder said that if they wanted to bring the person back, they had to save his life.
What kind of compensation is that? Miracle medicine?
"It will cost more."
The three words landed so loudly that Tao Xian was stunned.
How could a direct disciple of the Supreme Sect ask for a higher price?
But he gritted his teeth and asked, "How much more? Didn't we already pay the fine?"
"That was the cost of rescuing people from Junding Prefecture. The other compensation is another price! My great nephew was harmed and his life was at stake. Do you know how much resources he spent in the Supreme Sect to train a Tengyun Realm cultivator during his years in the Supreme Sect? And did you give any consolation money to the child lost in that village?"
Lin Du quickly beeped, "Oh, and me too."
"Because of the evil ways of the two outer sects of your sect, my heart, which had just been healed, was damaged again. Who should pay for the medicine?"
As she spoke, as if to prove her point, she clenched her fist and began to cough violently. Her thin body shook violently like a bamboo branch weighed down by snow, as if she was furious. She looked lonely and her face was broken.
Then a hand took out a handkerchief from somewhere and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving a bloodstain on the light-colored handkerchief.
Tao Xian was completely stunned. He trembled and took out a communication talisman, "How about, fellow Daoist, you should come with us to the sect and discuss it in person."
"Wait a minute, let's go back to the sect. There are only three of us. What if you default on our debts or even detain us? Let's make a deal here and pay the money, and then we can set off together."
"Then fellow Daoist, please wait for me to report to the sect elders."
Lin Du covered his face with his handkerchief and lowered his eyes. Rouge fruit is a good thing. Look at the juice of this fruit, it really looks like that.
Yan Ye asked her to pick some of Luo Ze's spiritual fruits and take them with her, as they had other uses.
Xia Tianwu was shocked. "Why is it hurting again? Is the medicine no longer effective? Where is the painkiller?"
Mo Lin also looked at Lin Du nervously. Two people stood in front of her, so he watched her look up and blink at them, and then stuffed a bright red fruit into each of their mouths.
Xia Tianwu: …She said that her master’s medical skills had deteriorated.
After the people over there finished discussing, Tao Xian gritted his teeth and walked up to Lin Du with a righteous demeanor, "Little Taoist priest, how much do you want to add?"
"Five hundred thousand."
Can't lose to her master.
Mo Lin and Xia Tianwuqi looked at Lin Du.
Tao Xian was silent for a moment, "I need to talk to your leader in person, otherwise what if there is a sudden increase in the price?"
Lin Du suddenly stood up straight and wiped the fruit juice that stained her lips with a handkerchief. She stood there calmly, like a silent bamboo.
"Fellow Daoist Tao, you may not know my identity. I am the 99th generation disciple of the Wushang Sect, Lin Du. The current head of the sect is my senior sister. Although I am young, I am also in charge of the sect's affairs. What I say is naturally the truth."
The affairs of the sect's inner treasury are also considered the sect's affairs.
The two people and the guards beside him did not say anything, apparently tacitly acquiescing to Lin Du's identity.
Tao Xian had heard of Lin Du's name, and the elders even asked him to ask about this person when he came. But he never expected that Lin Du himself would be like this.
He held back and said, "Okay, there is no other compensation, right?"
Seeing how scared the child was, Lin Du smiled and said, "No."
"You have to sign a document." Tao Xian was still worried.
"No problem." Lin Du nodded slightly.
Once the money arrives, everything will be fine.
