Chapter 814
"Yes, there's no need to mention it." Li Jian said with a straight face, "You're already one, why mention it?"
"Yes, Grand Master Li … Eh?" Zhang Xiaohu suddenly realized and said in surprise, "Grand Master Li, you agree?"
Li Jian looked at him unhappily and said with a smile, "Can I not agree?
Your Hall Master Yang and Lingering Fragrance Peak both agreed, what's the difference if I don't agree? "
Zhang Xiaohua still stood and shook his head, "They're only talking about being the chief disciple of the Misty Hall. If you don't agree, I'll never be the chief disciple of the Misty School. What I want is the latter, I don't even want to look at the former!"
"Good!
Good!!
Good!!! "
Li Jian said 'good' three times in a row and also stood up. He clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a backbone. Just because of your iron bones, I'll fulfill your wish!"
"Sit down and talk." Li Jian pointed to a chair and ordered.
Once Zhang Xiaohu was seated, Li Jian strolled to the front of the hall. As he walked, he said, "Actually, Xiaohu, don't think that Grandmaster is bigoted. He only knows how to hate the Incense Cult and doesn't know how to sympathize with your suffering.
Alas, I also know that if you didn't practice the Suhuan Mantra, the Lingering Fragrance Peak wouldn't have given you this position. Since you risked your life to practice the two mantras, Grand Master can naturally see that you're loyal to the Misty School. "
"You're a direct disciple of the Third Brother. Only Wen Wenhai, Xue Qing, and Lu Yueming are left in the second generation. Even if their martial arts have recovered, they can't let the Lingering Fragrance Peak know and can only hide it. If you don't become the chief disciple, who else can?
Besides, other than your branch, the other five branches can't be said to be direct disciples. It's not right for them to take over as the chief disciple. "
"Furthermore …" Li Jian also smiled mysteriously. "You didn't mention the matter of the chief disciple the moment you arrived. Instead, you talked about how you were able to save the injured disciples, and even cured me and your ancestor Liu. Tell me, how can I not support you?"
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands. "This disciple feels guilty. If I didn't contribute to the faction, I wouldn't have dared to mention this matter!"
"Haha, sit down. I'm not blaming you."
Li Jian said with a pleasant expression, "Your contribution is too great. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's see how you're doing as the chief disciple!"
"In the future, please give me more pointers, Grandmaster Li!" Zhang Xiaohu said modestly.
"Yes, those are small matters." Li Jian nodded and said, "But what about the token of the chief disciple of our Misty School?
It was with Cheng Yue that day. Did he give it to you now? "
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head. "According to Hall Master Yang, the Lingering Fragrance Peak hasn't found the whereabouts of the token either. They've only asked the Refining Hall to make one, which will be delivered in a few days!"
"Ridiculous ~" Li Jian scolded. "The token they made is only theirs. You can only be the chief disciple of the Misty Hall. If you want to be the chief disciple of the Misty School, you have to find the token first!"
"Alas," Zhang Xiaohu sighed. The Lingering Fragrance Cult was surprisingly big. He didn't know if the token had fallen into the hands of the Lingering Fragrance Cult, or the Dalin Temple or the Righteous Alliance. How could he find it?
When Zhang Xiaohua returned to the front mountain of the Shixin Peak, he didn't go to the Pill Room at the peak. Instead, he went directly to the small courtyard of the Pill Room. Zhang Xiaohu said that Du Feng was in seclusion to refine the efficacy of the Soothing Pulse Pill. As the chief disciple, he was in charge of the transaction between the Shixin Peak and Bai Yue Peak. Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be negligent. He estimated that the transaction would be in two days.
Since he came to the Shixin Peak, he had never stayed in this small courtyard for a night.
However, before he could take a good look at the entire courtyard, he heard another knock on the door.
"Eh?
Could it be that Junior Sister Yi again? "Zhang Xiaohua secretly said.
But when he went to the courtyard, he scanned with his Divine Sense. It was actually Du Feng standing in front of the door!
Zhang Xiaohua frowned and opened the door. He pretended to be surprised and cupped his hands. "So it's Senior Brother Du. I heard that you were in seclusion to cultivate your Internal Strength. Did you make any progress?"
Du Feng smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I had an epiphany and cultivated for a few days. It's not that I made any progress."
Seeing that Du Feng was so humble, Zhang Xiaohua was quite happy. He himself was not a high-profile person. He didn't like to be arrogant. In his heart, he was happy that his Soothing Pulse Pill didn't have a bright pearl.
So Zhang Xiaohua asked, "I just don't know why Senior Brother Du is looking for me at this time. What's the matter?"
Du Feng said curiously, "Junior Brother Ren, your words are strange. Of course, I'm looking for you about the transaction between the Pill Expanding Hall and the Misty Hall. What other business can it be?"
Zhang Xiaohua was even more confused. "A few days ago, Senior Brother Zhang just told me that he would take over the transaction of medicinal herbs and elixirs. Why …"
Du Feng's face showed an unfathomable expression. Then he smiled bitterly. "Senior Brother Zhang is right. A few days ago, I was in seclusion. That's why I asked him to do this. But now he has something more important to do. So, Vice Hall Master Qin dragged me out again!"
"Hahaha." Hearing the word "dragged", Zhang Xiaohua laughed. "So Senior Brother Du hasn't come out of seclusion yet!
Your epiphany is really unusual. You haven't digested it after so many days! "
Du Feng touched his nose and said, "Junior Brother Ren is joking. It's just a little epiphany. I've already understood it. I just wanted to be lazy. That's why …"
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "You don't have to say it. It's not easy for you Misty Hall disciples to be free for half a day."
"Junior Brother Ren is the most considerate. Oh, this is the details of the transaction. Please check it out, Junior Brother Ren."
As he spoke, Du Feng took out two thick booklets from his bosom and handed them over.
Zhang Xiaohua took them in confusion and flipped through them. One booklet contained the names of the elixirs and the other the names and quantities of the medicinal herbs. Needless to say, the booklet of elixirs was provided by the Pill Expanding Hall to the Misty Hall and the medicinal herbs were provided by the Misty Hall to the Pill Expanding Hall. However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand the details of the transaction.
Seeing the blank look on Zhang Xiaohua's face, Du Feng went forward and pointed at the two booklets and explained the relationship between the two items.
Zhang Xiaohua immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and blurted out, "Why is it so shady!"
After saying that, he felt a little regretful. He was now a disciple on duty in the Pill Expanding Hall and his words were a little overboard.
Sure enough, Du Feng looked at Zhang Xiaohua strangely and said, "These are the details of the transaction given by your Pill Expanding Hall. In the past, the conditions were even harsher than these. After my Hall Master repeatedly resisted, the conditions were lowered and Junior Brother Ren saw it today."
"Sigh, the Misty Hall is really pitiful. I had already mentally prepared myself and knew that they would be slaughtered, but … but I didn't expect them to be slaughtered so ruthlessly.
The Pill Expanding Hall actually asked for ten sets of medicinal herbs for one elixir. What is this for?
Although the disciples of the Misty Hall are outsiders, they will be a family in the future. There is no need to be so anxious. "
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was deep in thought, Du Feng whispered again, "Junior Brother Ren, don't worry. These details are only on the surface and are for the disciples of the Lingering Fragrance Peak to see. Many of our actual operations are not recorded in these booklets."
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiaohua frowned again and lowered her voice. She rubbed her thumb and index finger together and smiled, "That is to say, these … are not recorded in this booklet?"
"Haha, of course."
Du Feng took out a booklet from his chest and handed it over, "This is the secret booklet that we actually use for our operations."
"What ~" Zhang Xiaohua almost fainted. Who was he trying to fool by making it so complicated?
Zhang Xiaohua didn't accept the secret booklet and only pointed at it with a smile, "Why is our account so thin?"
"Junior Brother Ren, you still don't understand?
Of course, what should be recorded in our own accounts should be recorded and what should not be recorded should not be recorded. We just need to record it secretly. Of course, it can save a lot of paper! "
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. It seemed that there were rules and countermeasures everywhere. Although the Misty Hall had just joined the Lingering Fragrance Sect, they were not exempt from the rules.
Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua felt a chill in her heart. How could she be in the mood to do such shady business?
She didn't even look at the booklet in her hand and handed it over to Du Feng, "Senior Brother Du, this kind of thing, the Pill Expanding Hall's Senior Brother must have done it before. You also know how they do it. I don't have the patience to do this, so I will have to trouble Senior Brother Du. Please do it for me!"
"This …" Du Feng was a little embarrassed and said, "It is not impossible to do it, but … this is Junior Brother Ren's privacy. It is not appropriate for me to overstep!"
"It doesn't matter. Senior Brother Du is not an outsider. I trust you to do it."
Zhang Xiaohua didn't care at all. She didn't intend to give the elixir to the Pill Expanding Hall. She gave it to Zhang Xiaohu. Her bad reputation in the Shixin Peak was not only for taking liberties with her Junior Sister, but also for being greedy. It was not a big deal!
"Okay." Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua trusted him, Du Feng had to nod.
"Oh, and Senior Brother Du, if you don't have enough people, you can ask Xiao Binghe, Mu Tangchun, and the others to help. Since I promised them before, let them see if I'm being unfair to the Misty Hall!"
Du Feng was even more speechless about Zhang Xiaohua's additional request. She had already explained that there were two kinds of accounts. Where was the fairness?
After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "Since Junior Brother Ren said so, this one will ask them to come and help tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded. He had a strange feeling in his heart. He didn't know that there were so many tricks involved in the simple transaction between the Pill Repository Hall and the Misty School. He had agreed to let Xiao Binghe and the others supervise from the side. But now, it seemed that even if he wanted to treat it fairly, it was impossible!
Moreover, to be clear, even if Xiao Binghe was standing on the side and watching this transaction with his own eyes, how would he know the inside story of the other transactions under the table?
Fairness and truth were often the patent of those with power and influence!
