Chapter 124: Unlucky Jade Pearl Pavilion
“How is that possible?” Daoist HuoLong was agitated as he heard that and hurriedly said, “Tu QianCheng has been terrorising the cultivation world for over hundreds of years. He had robbed countless of cultivators and is definitely richer than the four of us combined. But in this storage ring, not to mention the fact that there isn’t a single magical artifact. Even all the materials here are low in grade without a single one above the age of a thousand years. Even a JinDan disciple of mine is richer than him! Who would believe that this is all the wealth he has?”
“Ha, since your JinDan disciples are richer than him, then do not bother splitting all of these. You can just give it all to my pudgy boy!” The sect master said without any regard. It was obvious that he was set on helping Little Fatty. Even if he knew that Little Fatty had hid something, he would not bother either.
As Daoist HuoLong heard that, he roared, “In your dreams, I want to search him!”
“You dare?!” The sect master immediately retaliated.
Seeing that the both of them were on the verge of fighting, the First Lady intervened and said, “Look at what time is it already, both of you are still arguing like kids over here!”“He’s the one being unreasonable, fighting with a kid even though he’s so old. Can’t believe he isn’t embarra.s.sed at all!” The sect master said with disdain.
“Who is fighting with a kid? I am only fighting for the rights of my disciples!” Daoist HuoLong immediately argued.
“Okay, okay. Both of you stop arguing!” Then, the First Lady turned her head and asked Little Fatty, “Child, did you hide anything?”
“Ma’am, this is the only dimensional storage bag which I have. Take a look and see how much can it hold.” Little Fatty handed the dimensional storage bag to the First Lady as he pretended to be in grief.
The First Lady then took the bag over and scanned it with her spiritual sense. Then, she handed it over to Daoist HuoLong and said, “Look, this child didn’t take anything at all.”
“You are really measuring such a n.o.ble character with your vile character!” The sect master sarcastically scolded.
Daoist HuoLong could not be bothered about that at all as he took the dimensional storage bag over. Indeed, he could not find anything inside. After that, he was still indignant as he scanned Little Fatty with his spiritual sense. But, he could not find another storage item on him. Only after that did he say with a frown, “Is Tu QianCheng really so poor?”
“Nonsense, ever since he was injured by us previously, he has not shown his face for over a few decades! He could only survive on his savings for these few decades, it isn’t surprising if he is poorer!” The First Lady then added, “Enough, let’s not talk anymore rubbish. Even if these are the only things left, it is more than enough for the juniors to enjoy. The way I look at it, my daughter already has the Phoenix Crying Blade so she wouldn’t share the spoils of war. But, Little Fatty was the key figure in killing Tu QianCheng, so he should get the dimensional storage ring and 70% of whatever is inside!”“What? Just 30% for my disciples?” Daoist HuoLong immediately scolded in rage, “Aren’t you being overboard?”
“Nope, you’re wrong. I am already being extremely magnanimous! According to the sect rules, they should be executed for fleeing from battle! Now, on account of your face, not only are we not punis.h.i.+ng them but even rewarding them. What more do you have to say?” The First Lady said in dissatisfaction.“That’s right, even if it is just 30% of what is inside, it is more than enough to compensate for the destroyed magical artifact. No matter what, they have gained from this. If that’s not fine, then we can only punish them in accordance to the the sect’s rules!” The sect master said firmly.
“You guys, you guys are bullying them!” Daoist HuoLong said in frustration.
“We’re only a.n.a.lysing the situation for you!” The First Lady said calmly, “Running from battle, leaving their sect mates in peril, it is already good enough that they are not dead. You still want to take this opportunity to make a fortune?”
“Even if senior sister was here, she would also handle it in this manner!” The sect master added, “If not, let’s go ask senior sister for her opinion?”
“Forget it!” Daoist HuoLong knew that he was at the losing end. For him to be able to fight for enough benefits to compensate for the losses of his disciples was already pretty good. Thus. it wouldn’t be good for him to argue too much. Even if this were to be blown up, it wouldn’t be beneficial for him at all.
Since Daoist HuoLong had agreed, the First Lady took out a pile of items from the dimensional storage ring. After Daoist HuoLong scanned it, he did not say anything else and left with his disciples after keeping the items. After all, the First Lady was extremely fair in the items she gave and the value of it would only be higher than 30%.
