The leader of the Emei Sect spoke:
"Leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, let's stop pretending here. This is no secret; it's already spread throughout the martial arts world."
The Tianlong Gang came to your Xiaoyao Sect with great fanfare, bringing with them the wealth they acquired from the Demonic Sect. However, your Xiaoyao Sect swallowed it all up. We need to be reasonable about this.
Which sect didn't contribute to the attack on the Demonic Sect? The Heavenly Dragon Gang's attempt to reap the benefits without lifting a finger is inherently wrong, and all the sects should be seeking justice from them.
Now, however, your Xiaoyao Sect has swallowed up all the wealth of the Demonic Sect. Your Xiaoyao Sect was also a participant in this, so you should understand how difficult the sacrifices were.
Therefore, we shouldn't deny the contributions of the other sects present. And these benefits shouldn't be monopolized by your family alone.
The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect rubbed his forehead and said:
"While there is some truth to that, there is one thing I must clarify: my Xiaoyao Sect has never acquired any of the Demonic Sect's assets."
Think about it, how could the Tianlong Gang possibly give away all the wealth they acquired to my Xiaoyao Sect? That doesn't make sense, right?
Then the leader of the Hengshan Sect spoke:
"The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, your words are a bit far-fetched. The rumors have already spread throughout the martial arts world, so why deny them here?"
The information we received is that when the Tianlong Gang left your place, they were unable to take any of the good things they brought with them, which were obviously swallowed up by your Xiaoyao Sect.
Moreover, the attitude and expression of the Tianlong Gang leader and his wife were not good, which shows that they had been treated unfairly here. In that case, there is only one possibility: the item must be in your Xiaoyao Sect.
"Since that's the case, why not share it with us equally? Everyone contributed; it wasn't just your Xiaoyao Sect that did the work. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Why do you want to keep it all to yourself?"
The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect shook his head and said:
"Rumors, absolutely rumors, one hundred percent rumors. I can assure everyone here that those so-called rumors you just mentioned are absolutely false."
This is absolutely a malicious slander against my Xiaoyao Sect. Someone is spreading rumors. I hope everyone here will refrain from believing, spreading, or creating rumors.
Seeing the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect so shamelessly deny it, everyone was very angry.
What can you do if you're angry? They just won't admit it, and they didn't see anything. You can't force them to hand over the item.
Doesn't this amount to robbery?
Although these sects and bandits are not fundamentally different, after all, one has to maintain appearances.
Therefore, everyone present remained silent for a while, unsure of what to do.
After a long silence, the leader of the Kongtong Sect said:
"So, the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect, are you saying that all of us leaders from various sects have come here just because of a rumor and a lie, and are just making a fuss over nothing?"
The leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect said:
"Sigh, I never said that, but if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do, and I can't rule out the possibility."
These words made everyone angry, but what can we do if we're angry?
As I said before, everyone has to pretend to be civilized. If you have to pretend to be civilized, then you have to stay calm.
Therefore, unable to deal with the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect for the time being, the leader of the Hengshan Sect came up with a plan and said:
"How about this? Our sect leaders have gone to great lengths to get here. Regardless of whether this thing is actually in the Free and Unfettered Sect, we've come all this way. Would it be alright for us to stay here for a while?"
The leaders of the other sects all nodded in agreement.
They couldn't go back empty-handed. Since the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect wouldn't admit it, they would stay here for a couple more days. They would eventually find some clues that would leave him with no room to refute it, right?
Even if this guy never confesses to this, we can still stay here, annoy him, eat him, drink him, and live with him, right?
Although the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect was somewhat reluctant, there was nothing he could do. They had entertained him before, so how could he refuse to let them be his guest?
So the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect spoke up:
"I would be very happy to welcome you all to my Xiaoyao Sect. It is an honor for my Xiaoyao Sect to have you as guests. Please feel free to stay, no matter how long you stay, my Xiaoyao Sect will always welcome you."
He said this with a smile on his face, but what he was really thinking is anyone's guess.
Regardless, they certainly did a good job of saving face, leaving the other sect members present with no room for further comment.
They just kept thinking to themselves that no matter what, they had to find out the truth about this matter.
No matter what, we must find out all the good stuff he embezzled.
In any case, this good stuff must be shared with him.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Now it's not just about distributing good things, it also includes a matter of saving face.
If so many people from different sects come here and still can't divide the spoils, and end up leaving empty-handed, how will they survive in the martial arts world?
Wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if people told others about it later?
Wouldn't that mean the Free and Unfettered Sect would be even more triumphant in the martial arts world from now on?
Therefore, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen.
Then they settled down at the Xiaoyao Sect and ate the best food they could find.
