Si Lei Zhenjun

Chu Xing was lazily lying on a rattan chair chatting with two women when Wang Sanyuan suddenly ran in anxiously and shouted:

"Oh no, Chu Xing, your two spirit beasts were caught stealing the spirit beast rations from the animal pond."

"what?"

Chu Xing's heart trembled.

Being familiar with the sect's rules and regulations, he naturally knew what punishment he would face for stealing the food for the spirit beasts in the beast pond.

Because the animal pond was unattended, the punishment was extremely severe, a fine of one million spirit stones.

When he first saw this sect rule, he thought that the old thief Lu Yuan was crazy about the spirit stones.

Chu Xing quickly sat up and asked anxiously:

"Are you sure, Sanyuan?"

"It can't be wrong," Wang Sanyuan said firmly:

“It’s your little fox and a little Qilin. Two disciples from the Beast Hall just brought them here. They said they were arrested on the spot.

Although the little Qilin was registered with my master's name, he said that the Qilin already belongs to your Piaomiao Peak.

Let me inform you to redeem the human...er, redeem the beast."

Damn, don’t you have fairies feeding you?

Why are you running to the animal pond?

Chu Xing cursed in his heart.

However, the law is nothing more than human feelings. As long as you say a few nice words, you shouldn't be fined so many spirit stones.

After all, this time he just stole some food for the spirit beast, unlike last time when he actually destroyed the spirit medicine worth 200,000 spirit stones.

Just when Chu Xing was secretly thinking about what to do, Qi Shunan suddenly frowned and snorted coldly:

"Humph! Is that old thing tired of living? He even dares to capture the beasts of my Piaomiao Peak?!"

Before she finished her words, she jumped off the wicker chair angrily.

"Master," Chu Xing hurriedly stopped her, "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Let me go and take a look at the situation first, okay?"

"What misunderstanding?" Qi Shunan said angrily:

"This old man doesn't take me seriously at all. If I don't cause trouble for him, how can I survive in the sect in the future?"

"..." Chu Xing was speechless and advised:

"Master, the Great Elder dared to capture our spirit beast so brazenly. He might have already informed the Sect Master. We might not get any good results if we take action directly. I suggest that it's not too late to take action if we can't reach an agreement."

This is not groundless speculation. If you put yourself in his shoes, he would do the same.

After all, the Great Elder should know clearly what kind of person the Master is.

Qi Shunan's eyes flashed with a trace of fear, and he raised his chin slightly, "Then Master will give you a favor and talk to them first."

Chu Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and didn't say anything else.

It was just a small matter. Maybe it could be solved by apologizing and paying some spirit stones.

If the master really lets things get out of hand, she won't be in any trouble.

But the spirit beast belongs to him and Xiaoli after all, and maybe both of them will have to bear a huge debt of millions of spirit stones at such a young age.

……

In fact, Murong Hua not only informed the sect leader, but also invited him to the Law Enforcement Hall.

In the last incident, his granddaughter was in the wrong, so it was difficult for him to go to the clan leader to seek justice.

But this time he caught the beast and the stolen goods, so in order to prevent Qi Shunan from making trouble, he went to find the sect leader as soon as possible.

The master and disciple were led by Wang Sanyuan all the way to the meeting room of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Qi Shunan said nothing, walked up to Murong Hua angrily, and asked loudly:

"Old thing, you dare to touch my beast?"

Murong Hua had obviously anticipated this and was quite calm, chuckling lightly:

"I knew you would cause trouble. The spirit beasts from your Misty Peak are stealing food from the sect's beast pond. Why shouldn't I capture them?"

Qi Shunan said confidently, "Isn't that food for spirit beasts? What's wrong with them eating a little? They didn't eat yours. I think you're just looking for trouble."

"!!!"

Chu Xing frowned, pulled her sleeve, and reminded her softly:

"Master, Sect Master Lu... is here."

Qi Shunan then noticed Lu Yuan, who seemed to be smiling beside her, and her voice became much softer:

"It's not that I want to cause trouble, it's just that he didn't give me face first."

Lu Yuan ignored her and instead slowly took out a few booklets from his arms, and then took out a brush and inkstone from the storage space.

Then, he looked at Murong Hua and asked:

"Whose are those two spirit beasts?"

Murong Hua pointed at Chu Xing and said, "That little fox is his spirit pet, and the Qilin cub's current owner is a little girl from Piaomiao Peak."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, picked out the booklet with "Chu Xing" written on the cover from the booklets, and took out a blank booklet. He picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the three words "Jiang Xiaoli" on the cover.

Seeing Lu Yuan opening the notebook and about to write, Chu Xing hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile to stop him:

"Sect Master, they just accidentally stole some of the spiritual beast's food. It's really not that serious... Can't we just compensate them with spiritual stones?"

"It's more than just a little," Murong Hua interrupted. "According to those two Beast Hall disciples, over the past few months, they've been putting dozens more spirit beast feed and spirit beast pills into the beast pond every day than usual. And according to the sect's rules, anyone who steals anything, regardless of the amount, will be fined one million spirit stones."

As he spoke, a look of gloating appeared on his face.

The reason why the fine is set so high is to prevent the disciples from taking advantage of the animal pond.

If a disciple were caught stealing food for a spirit beast, the actual punishment would not be that severe.

At most, he would be scolded and fined some spirit stones.

Of course, if they were disciples of Piaomiao Peak, that would be a different matter.

ha?

Chu Xing was startled.

Could it be that the silly fox has advanced so quickly in the past few months not because of being fed by the fairies, but because he runs to the animal pond every day to steal food!

And bring little Qilin with you???

Qi Shunan squinted at Murong Hua and shouted:

"I think you, Old Deng, are crazy about spirit stones. You want a million spirit stones just for a little bit of spirit beast rations?"

Chu Xing pulled her again and whispered:

"Master, after all, we are not in the right, so it's better to be a little more polite when speaking."

Qi Shunan turned around in surprise, "Isn't this polite enough?"

"Haha, if you continue to be so polite, Xiaoli and I will definitely be on the hook for the huge debt of one million spirit stones."

Chu Xing complained secretly, thinking that it was necessary to fight for it himself.

He looked at Murong Hua and said respectfully:

"Great Elder, I just returned to the sect recently, and I had no idea that my spirit pet had been stealing the spirit beast rations in the beast pond.

"One million spirit stones is really too much. Even if we sell both of us, we still can't come up with that much spirit stones. Please consider that we didn't mean it and be lenient with us."

Murong Hua smiled slightly, "My words don't count in front of the Sect Master. You should talk to the Sect Master first."

Chu Xing thought to himself, if talking to this black-hearted old thief would be useful, why would I beg you so humbly?

However, he still turned his gaze to Lu Yuan and said pitifully:

"Master, I am truly broke right now. I don't even have a single Spirit Stone on me. Moreover, I can't earn much Spirit Stone from a small Golden Core. You see..."

Lu Yuan looked playful and said jokingly:

"If you don't have spirit stones, you can use other things to pay off your debt, such as beads, chain blades, flying swords, etc."

Chu Xing lowered his eyebrows and said, "Those are just some ordinary magic weapons, not worth much money."

It didn't surprise him too much that Lu Baopi could see that he had several magic weapons from the Heaven and Earth List.

After all, he is a person standing at the top of the cultivation world, and he loves money like his life, so it is normal that he can see it.
