After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 166: Misfortune

Chapter 166: Pity Party

Long Yan, in a fit of anger, stormed off and headed straight for Sword Sect.

Yin Xun and the elders were all feeling uneasy.

Stopping Long Yan from causing trouble outside could be seen as protecting him, and the Patriarch wouldn't be angry.

However, if Long Yan was angered to the point of leaving the sect and running away from home, that would be a big problem.

For a moment, everyone exchanged glances, secretly pondering how to deal with the Patriarch.

In the end, their gaze fell on Yin Xun.

Yin Xun was also helpless, but he had to come up with a solution at this moment.

"Elder Long is just being impulsive. Let him calm down and then go bring him back. The Patriarch is currently in seclusion, so there won't be any issues for now."

Upon hearing Yin Xun's words, everyone felt a bit relieved.

The Patriarch was still in seclusion and unaware of Long Yan's situation. As long as they brought Long Yan back before the Patriarch emerged from seclusion, it would be as if nothing had happened.

Even if it was discovered, it would only be seen as a trial on Long Yan's path of cultivation, and those responsible for Long Yan's departure wouldn't be blamed.

Thinking that there was still a chance to remedy the situation, no one went after Long Yan.

No one wanted to provoke an enraged Long Yan. When this girl's temper flared up, she wouldn't give anyone face.

With no excitement to watch, everyone prepared to disperse.

But at this moment, a message of communication flew over, and Yin Xun reached out and caught it. Upon seeing the content of the message, he was instantly furious.

Apart from Dragon Transformation Palace, the other sects had also received messages from their own elders.

The item had been found, which was a good thing. Although losing two million spirit stones was a bit painful, for the four sects, each sect would only receive five hundred thousand, which wasn't a big deal.

But Elder Zhao had embezzled it, and this matter couldn't be resolved with five hundred thousand spirit stones.

Dragon Transformation Palace had to give an explanation for this matter, and there were still areas where the four sects could argue.

To be continued...

Even Long Yan, who grew up in an environment where she was always praised, is still like this.

It can be seen that flattery is never too much.

Of course, Long Yan also felt a little embarrassed and explained, "I suddenly thought of something else, it wasn't intentional to not go in."

This lie was too clumsy and couldn't deceive Zhang Chi at all.

Zhang Chi didn't expose her, but advised, "It's getting late now, if there's something, we can talk about it tomorrow. I just got two barrels of good wine today. How about having a drink with me, Sister Long?"

"Um, isn't it inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Come on..."

Under Zhang Chi's persuasion, Long Yan reluctantly went to Sword Sect. Zhang Chi personally cooked a few dishes for Long Yan to accompany the wine.

"I apologize for the inconvenience. Sword Sect is currently in a difficult financial situation and cannot recruit miscellaneous disciples. We have to handle many things ourselves."

Actually... Zhang Chi wasn't that poor. He had a lot of money in his pocket.

But...

What does my money have to do with the sect?

It's already good enough that I haven't embezzled the sect's money. Does the sect still want my money?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

And besides, Zhang Chi felt that there was a saying that went, "Heaven will bestow great responsibilities upon those with great ambitions, and they must first endure hardships, blah blah blah."

In short, it's okay to endure a little hardship. Labor is honorable.

Engaging in more physical activities and living a self-sufficient life can bring people closer together.

Therefore, except for those construction workers, Sword Sect did not recruit any miscellaneous disciples.

Of course, as compensation, Zhang Chi increased the monthly allowance for the disciples.

Although the disciples of Sword Sect worked hard and received spirit stones, it wasn't too much of a loss. Zhang Chi managed to reduce the costs.

However, Sword Sect's remaining assets were not much, so they had to find a source of revenue.

It's easy for cultivators to earn money from mortals, but earning spirit stones is difficult, just like mortals earning money.

Either go mine for spirit stones or take on dangerous missions. Although Zhang Chi was a bit shameless, he wasn't that ruthless.

Excluding these two options, they could only find a money tree.

And now, Elder Long had come to them.

For the sake of Sword Sect, I have already done enough. As the eldest senior brother, I am competent and flawless, right?

Hearing that Sword Sect was in such a difficult situation, Long Yan instinctively wanted to contribute, but she was worried that speaking out rashly would seem disrespectful.

Long Yan had to suppress the urge to donate money and asked, "How long can Sword Sect sustain itself?"

"If we can find a project to earn spirit stones, then the problem won't be big. Unfortunately, we are all Qi Condensation disciples now, with only one Divine Soul elder, and Little Warehouse Mountain doesn't have many resources. Fortunately, I have learned a bit about drawing talismans, so I can earn some extra income for the sect."

Zhang Chi started to play the victim.

But what he said was mostly true. The remaining sparks in Sword Sect were really just sparks, and sparks needed protection, but the only one who could provide protection was Chong Ling.

Chong Ling's own strength was only average, and in the Dragon River area, he couldn't be considered much.

If they relied solely on Zhang Chi's talisman drawing, it wouldn't be possible to sustain the entire sect, and Zhang Chi would be too exhausted.

Thinking about how Sword Sect was struggling like this, and how Yin Xun was making things difficult for them, and the elders of Dragon Transformation Palace were causing trouble without distinguishing right from wrong, Long Yan became even more convinced that leaving was the right choice.

In such an environment as Sword Sect, where brothers and friends are respectful and united, this is the kind of sect she likes.

Since that's the case, thinking about Zhang Chi's previous joking words, Long Yan couldn't help but be tempted...

This is the first update today. Three more updates in the afternoon. I watched "The Temptation to Go Home" yesterday, and the author revisited "Returning to 2008," so the update was a bit less. More updates today.
