Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

But who made her the master?

If the apprentice makes a mistake and gets into trouble, as a master, of course you have to help him solve the problem.

At least in this lower realm, her words still carry weight. It's just a few spirit stones, just the loss of some ordinary disciples.

As long as the core disciples are still there, what does all this matter?

The most important thing right now is to help Xiao Xuan get rid of the crime and minimize the impact of this incident on him.

Ji Yuchan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to slap the bastard to death, and once again let a trace of coolness flow through his heart, forcing himself to calm down.

She tried her best not to look at Lin Xuan, and tried to maintain a calm state of mind. She said to the elders in a calm tone:

"Don't worry, elders. I'm aware of this matter. Lin Xuan was indeed inconsiderate and made some mistakes in his arrangements, but fortunately, this incident did not cause irreparable damage to the sect. So, it's not a big deal."

"We just need to restore the previous system, distribute the monthly allowance on time, and make up for the overdue spiritual stones, elixirs and other resources. The sect will soon be able to stabilize."

"As for those disciples who have already left the sect, you will spread the news later. This happened for a reason. As long as they come back, we can put aside the past grudges. I believe it won't be long before the sect can return to normal."

"What's more, since the incident has already happened, and Lin Xuan has already suffered the consequences, allowing the disciples to vent their anger, I believe their anger has long since subsided and they have no intention of further entanglement."

"The most important thing now is to implement remedial measures as soon as possible, and other matters can be dealt with later."

These words left Elder Xiao stunned.

Lin Xuan made such a big mistake, is this the end?

This wasn't a punishment at all, it was just to appease his anger. I didn't know if the disciples felt it was fair or not, but he didn't.

And as for the remedy, isn’t that the remedy he just mentioned?

Sacrificing this black-hearted ghost Lin Xuan to heaven is the best solution and the fastest way to restore the sect's vitality. What other remedies does the sect leader want?

He glanced at Yue Yufeng, wanting him to voice his support, but found that he just shook his head at him.

He came to his senses after a moment of shock and sighed: Forget it, Lin Xuan is the leader's beloved one, how can he be killed so easily?

It doesn’t matter if I can’t kill him. As long as he is still in Lingtian Sect, he will have a hard time in the future.

But no matter what happens next, this is such a good opportunity, I must make him suffer a little more.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Ji Yuchan took it as their agreement.

"However, you are right about one thing. Someone should take responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, the disciples below will inevitably become dissatisfied and cause resentment."

She looked around and saw that they all quickly lowered their heads and dared not look at her. She immediately had an idea in her mind.

"Xiao Xuan is young after all, and has only been practicing Taoism for a little over ten years. He lacks experience, so even if he made mistakes, it's understandable. As long as he can learn from his mistakes and correct them in the future, it will be considered a merit."

Lin Xuan clenched his fists. What had he just heard? His master had been accusing him of being careless and making mistakes.

It would be fine if she said it once, and since she was his master, he could still endure it, but what did she mean by keeping saying it?

What did he do wrong?!

Through his operations, he saved the sect countless spirit stones, and even earned more spirit stones in return.

If it weren't for him turning the tide, the sect would have been shattered long ago and would not be as stable and peaceful as it is now.

He has done so much with good intentions, so why is it that now, instead of praising him, the master says he is wrong?

How could he be wrong?!

Haha, it turns out that the master is just an ordinary person and can't see the magic of his methods at all.

Lin Xuan slowly raised his head and looked at Ji Yuchan. His stubborn and somewhat aggrieved expression almost had the words "I'm not wrong" written all over his face.

But Ji Yuchan ignored him and said to himself:

"The most crucial point in this matter lies with Elder Lu."

"As the elder in charge of the treasury, he should be in charge of all matters related to spirit stones. However, he allowed this matter to proceed without any careful verification. This is simply dereliction of duty!"

"Xiao Xuan is young and doesn't understand these things, so it's understandable that he makes mistakes occasionally."

"But Elder Lu has been managing the treasury for many years. He will definitely be able to see the problems with the rules set by Lin Xuan at a glance."

"But as an elder, he actually did nothing and allowed the matter to develop to this point. He simply doesn't care about the safety of the sect!"

After she finished speaking, she shouted angrily:

"Someone, call Elder Lu over here! I want to ask him who gave him the courage to neglect his duties on such an important matter and turn a blind eye to such a huge oversight!"

"This……"

Elder Xiao and Yue Yufeng looked at each other. How did this involve Elder Lu again?

Elder Lu has been in charge of the treasury for many years and has never made a mistake. This time it was entirely caused by Lin Xuan's willful behavior and arrogance. How can it be blamed on Elder Lu?

But no matter how much they thought about it, it was none of their business after all, so they didn't dare to say anything to persuade them.

Elder Xiao looked troubled and said hesitantly:

"Master, please calm down. Elder Lu had already taken leave before these things even started, and went on a journey with his disciples."

"Traveling out?" Ji Yuchan narrowed her eyes. The treasure house formation blocked her spiritual consciousness. She thought Elder Lu was still in the treasure house, but she didn't expect that he had left the sect.

Although it was a bit unexpected, it was better that he was not here, as it was a good opportunity for him to take the blame.

"Humph, Elder Lu is quite elegant. Even with such a big incident happening in the sect, he still has the mind to travel around."

"As an elder of the Treasury, he neglected his duties, causing a serious mistake and causing the sect to lose morale. I will punish him for all his mistakes..."

The more Elder Xiao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This was clearly Lin Xuan's fault, so why was it that Lin Xuan was fine, but all the blame was put on Elder Lu?

At least it can be shared among several people, right?

No, if the clan leader divides it this way, will he be the next one to get it?

No, we must not let the Sect Master do this!

Elder Xiao realized the seriousness of the problem and, remembering Elder Lu's instructions before he left, he quickly shouted:

"Master, wait a minute!"

"Before leaving, Elder Lu told me that if the Sect Master asked about him, I should give this item to him, and he would know the answer at a glance." He took out a photo bead and handed it over.

The image bead was brought in front of Ji Yuchan by spiritual power.

Why is it the photo beads again?

Ji Yuchan felt uneasy and picked up the photo bead. "Did Elder Lu tell me what's inside?"

"Never."

Although Elder Xiao didn't know what was inside, he knew how resentful Elder Lu was when he left, and he also said that this thing could protect his innocence. So the things inside were naturally not simple, and it was very likely to cause dissatisfaction from the sect leader.

Otherwise, why didn't Elder Lu come by himself, but instead found an excuse to run away early?
