Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1566: Chapter 1566: Undercover in the Immortal Sect (35)

”This,” the master uncle pondered, ”is a Shared Life Contract, a type of agreement used between Dao companions.”

Ye Luo pursued further, ”Does it have to be Dao companions?”

”Not necessarily, but there’s a condition. The two must...” The master uncle paused, seemingly unsure if discussing this with a young girl was appropriate, and mumbled, ”have physical intimacy for the contract to take effect.”

”Why are you asking about this?” The master uncle realized, ”You wouldn’t be thinking of...”

”Master uncle, I came across it by chance and asked out of curiosity.” Ye Luo hurriedly waved her hand.

The master uncle suspiciously sized her up but didn’t inquire further.

Ye Luo left the Book Pavilion, her heart still pounding.

Chuzheng and the master...

Immortal Venerable Dong Lin’s appearance is the dream lover of many female cultivators.

Even Ye Luo had fantasized about it.

But can he be casually touched by anyone?

Yet they actually...

Thinking about this, a surge of jealousy welled up inside Ye Luo.

She is just a fox demon, why... why should she enjoy these?

She must expose her!

-

Sect gathering.

Such an event lasts several days, making the sect lively as if it were the New Year.

Dong Lin, as the Immortal Venerable, needs to sit at the top as a mascot, while Chuzheng has to stay below by herself.

The first two days of assessment are for ordinary disciples and hold little appeal.

Disciples who passed cried tears of joy, while those who didn’t passed cried bitterly.

Once these disciples finish their assessments, it’s the turn of the elite disciples.

Their assessment is different from the ordinary ones, occurring inside an independent Space to retrieve wood plaques preset there.

Wood plaques can be stolen, with the final ranking determined by plaque count. The top ten earn different rewards.

Also, there’s a rule against harming others; moderation is required.

Chuzheng and Ye Luo entered together, but possibly due to teleportation, Chuzheng didn’t encounter Ye Luo once inside.

Grabbing stuff relies on strength—

[No, on extravagance!]

Before Chuzheng could throw a punch, it was quelled by a Bastard.

Chuzheng traded Spirit Stones for wood plaques inside, quickly amassing plenty.

Their assessment doesn’t have eliminations, so those lacking hope of getting into the top ten just gave their plaques to Chuzheng in exchange for Spirit Stones.

Solid benefits are far better than struggling and still not making the top ten.

So Chuzheng didn’t need to lift a finger, sitting there to claim first place.

-

Ye Luo initially sought Chuzheng during the assessment but discovered Chuzheng surrounded by people.

Ye Luo’s mouth twitched, not daring to approach.

Time ticked away, and the plaques in Ye Luo’s hand weren’t many.

But by uttering a few words, fellow disciples naturally handed her their plaques.

So once the assessment ended, Ye Luo’s plaques were numerous, but Chuzheng’s were even more.

Chuzheng overturned her bag, shaking out many plaques.

The crowd below immediately erupted.

”Senior Sister has so many plaques?”

”Is Senior Sister truly that formidable?”

”Were Senior Brother and Sister’s assessments simpler maybe?”

”Simple what, their plaques can be stolen, unlike ours one-on-one. Inside, everyone is a competitor...”

”Right, then how does Senior Sister have so many plaques?”

The enormous plaque count even startled the Sect Master and elders above.

Ye Luo kept her head down, lost in thought.

”Unfair!” Suddenly, a disciple stepped forward, accusing Chuzheng, ”Senior Sister cheated!”

Cheating!

Sect Master Lu frowned, ”Cheating?”

”Yes.” The disciple was filled with righteous indignation, attempting to unmask the evil, ”Senior Sister never even fought; she bought everyone’s plaques with Spirit Stones.”

”...”

The air suddenly grew silent.

Many were aware of Chuzheng’s lavish spending on Spirit Stones in town.

But for so many plaques, how many Spirit Stones did she spend buying?

”The rules didn’t say I couldn’t buy plaques.” Chuzheng broke the eerie silence, ”As I didn’t violate rules, how’s it cheating?”

The crowd: ”...”

Though her words seemed flawed, they couldn’t be refuted.

”Everyone relies on strength, Senior Sister relies on Spirit Stones, how’s that not cheating?”

”Yeah, it’s far too unfair.”

Chuzheng sat upright, her icy voice resounding, ”Having Spirit Stones is also a form of my strength.”

I wanted to rely on strength too, but the Bastard forbids it.

What can I do!

What can I possibly do!!

Numerous disciples held their dissatisfaction, voicing support for the accusing disciple.

Ye Luo positioned behind, gazing through the crowd at Chuzheng, faintly curling her lips.

Sect Master Lu conferred briefly with nearby elders, ”Chuzheng didn’t breach rules; the assessment results stand.”

”Sect Master!”

Disciples clamored.

Yet due to the rules, even if Sect Master Lu found it inappropriate, they couldn’t object.

Their lack of foresight regarding this loophole was the only fault.

”Enough!”

Sect Master Lu slammed the table, hushing the noisy disciples.

”Behave yourselves, what do you take this place for?”

”...”

Sect Master Lu glanced at Dong Lin, who hadn’t reacted throughout, seemingly uninterested in Chuzheng’s actions.

But Dong Lin wasn’t indifferent; he hadn’t anticipated it.

The little disciple always surprised... no, startled him.

Sect Master Lu’s words settled the dissatisfaction, forcing disciples to harbor it silently.

”But how does Senior Sister possess so many Spirit Stones?”

Someone murmured from the crowd.

”Indeed, each disciple receives limited Spirit Stones, yet Senior Sister spends them so freely? I even heard she spent generously in town.”

From cheating by buying plaques to questioning Chuzheng’s Spirit Stone source, the crowd was in heated debate.

Chuzheng seemed quite leisurely as the subject.

”Senior Sister, won’t you explain?”

Chuzheng as Senior Sister: ”...”

Explain what? When explained, would they understand?

”I gave them, any issue with that?” Dong Lin abruptly intervened.

His words silenced the entire hall, so quiet even a pin drop could be heard.

Dong Lin wasn’t aware of Chuzheng’s Spirit Stone source, but the situation demanded his intervention; otherwise, it would be never-ending.

His voice indeed halted further objections.

This is Immortal Venerable Dong Lin...

What could they say?

Given Dong Lin’s venerable status, possessing a Spirit Stone Mine wouldn’t be unusual.

Ye Luo stared gloomily at Chuzheng from behind the crowd.

Just as she was about to step out, two disciples stumbled in, shouting as they ran.

”It’s awful! A Demon Clan invasion!!”
