Elder Tianhua

Unconsciously, three days had passed.

Three days had passed since that great battle, and the Qing Sect was back to normal, with only the scarred battlefield remaining.

Xiao Feng's injuries had recovered. The System withdrew the trial card time and also slightly improved his strength, making him feel refreshed and invigorated.

As usual, he came to the Sect hall and saw the Sect Leader sitting there with a worried expression.

When the Sect Leader saw Xiao Feng arrive in the hall, he walked down from the top with a calm expression: "Your internal injuries should have recovered, right?"

Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "Sect Leader, my internal injuries have completely recovered. I wonder what should be done about the damaged buildings in the Sect?"

The Sect had no reason to maintain this appearance; they needed to spend a considerable amount of money to repair those buildings.

Compared to the two Sects, their losses were relatively much smaller.

The Flame Sect lost a Tier 7 Elder, which was definitely the most severe blow to them.

The Sect Leader looked at Xiao Feng asking about the situation within the Sect and sighed: "The Sect sent people to start repairing the buildings long ago, but there has been no progress."

When Xiao Feng learned that the Sect had arranged for people to repair the buildings long ago, his brow furrowed slightly: "What does this mean? How about arranging for Disciples to go and take a look?"

As the Sect Leader's Personal Disciple, his status was very prominent, and he believed that some people in the Sect would need to give him some Face.

The Sect Leader looked at Xiao Feng planning to supervise the building repairs for him and nodded slightly: "If someone is watching over it, this matter can indeed be expedited."

Now, with the Sect Leader's oral decree, Xiao Feng naturally did not waste time and went to the severely damaged areas of the Sect.

He saw many Qing Sect Disciples sitting on the ground with worried expressions, having no intention of repairing the buildings at all.

When they saw Xiao Feng come before them, they couldn't help but say to Xiao Feng: "Senior Brother, you've arrived."

Xiao Feng looked at them not moving for a long time and pointed at the damaged buildings beside him: "Get moving quickly, don't waste time. This is the Face of our Qing Sect."

Originally, he thought that the Qing Sect Disciples weren't repairing the buildings simply because they were lazy, but no one expected they had other reasons.

He saw one of the Qing Sect Disciples come up to Xiao Feng, looking troubled: "Senior Brother, we don't have enough funds, so... we can't do anything either."

The others saw someone speak the truth, and they all nodded: "That's right, we don't have enough funds. How can we possibly complete the repairs?"

Xiao Feng heard that they didn't have sufficient funds, and his brow furrowed slightly: "The Sect Leader gave you sufficient funds. Don't talk nonsense."

The Qing Sect was not stingy; they provided sufficient funds as soon as the repair work was arranged.

According to the Sect Leader, the money they gave this time was not only enough to repair the buildings but also enough for them to buy quite a few medicinal herbs and weapons for themselves.

And now, the people here all said they didn't receive enough money, so there must be a reason behind it.

Xiao Feng placed his hand in front of them and chuckled: "How much money did the higher-ups give you? Let me see it now."

The few people exchanged glances, took out the funds given to them for repairing the buildings, and placed them in Xiao Feng's hand.

When he saw that the amount of money in their hands was so little, he looked at them with surprise: "With such a small amount of money, I'm afraid it's not even enough to buy Materials, right?"

The Qing Sect had always been a reasonable Sect. When they arranged for Disciples to come out to repair buildings, everyone could receive a considerable income.

Now, the money in their hands wasn't even enough for Materials, let alone their wages.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment: "Wait for me here for a while. I'll go and explain this to the Sect Leader."

Hearing that Xiao Feng planned to go directly to the Sect Leader, they readily agreed and returned to their positions to sit down.

In their opinion, as long as Xiao Feng told the Sect Leader about this matter, the Sect Leader would surely understand why they weren't repairing the buildings.

It didn't take long for Xiao Feng to return to the Sect hall and tell the Sect Leader everything he had seen.

When the Sect Leader heard him say that the funds for repairing the buildings were insufficient, his brow furrowed slightly: "This situation has been going on for a long time."

Every time a building needed repairing, it cost five or six times the price, which made her feel that something was subtly wrong.

Xiao Feng looked at the Sect Leader's surprised expression and immediately realized that someone in the Sect had taken some of the money.

Otherwise, the Sect had no reason to spend so much money repairing a small building.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, looked at the Sect Leader, and said: "Sect Leader, I have a way to investigate this matter, but I need your cooperation."

The Sect Leader was eager to find out the truth as soon as possible and nodded slightly: "As long as we can investigate the truth of the matter, I will agree to whatever you say."

Xiao Feng saw that the Sect Leader agreed and chuckled: "We will allocate a sum of money to them, and I will strictly control the people who handle it in between."

As long as we find out where the money is missing in the process, it naturally means there is a problem in that stage.

The Sect Leader heard that Xiao Feng would only act as a supervisor and laughed heartily: "Then it's up to you. You can ask for as much money as you need."

In order to lure the snake out of its hole, he needed to spend a large sum of money this time.

The Sect Leader had already handed this matter over to Xiao Feng, so he naturally didn't meddle and let him take the money from the Sect.

Following the usual procedure, the Sect Leader personally gave the money to his trusted Elders, who then gave it to the Disciples repairing the buildings.

Xiao Feng followed behind, watching, his eyes fixed on the specific amount, wanting to see where the amount sharply decreased.

It didn't take long for Xiao Feng to see that the Disciple at the final stage took nearly seven-tenths and put it in his own pocket. He immediately blocked his path.

When he saw Xiao Feng appear before him, he looked at him with a slightly guilty conscience: "Senior Brother, what do you mean by this? All this money is to be given to them."

Xiao Feng glanced at the money in his hand and sneered: "How much money did the Sect Leader give you in total? It's not good for you to keep that money in your own hands, is it?"

With just a short sentence, this Disciple understood that Xiao Feng was deliberately here to catch him. He retreated repeatedly, trying to leave here.

However, Xiao Feng's strength far surpassed his, so how could he let him leave his sight so easily?

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and his body shot out like a cannonball, landing in front of him and grabbing him.

"You took the money and wanted to run? There's no such good thing in this world. Come with me obediently and tell me what you've done."
