#108 - Unreasonable trust
A murderous intent surged within Li Xueqing's heart.
Although she didn't know why this newcomer hadn't been poisoned to death, she had other methods at her disposal.
Just then.
Yu Linglong, who was beside her, suddenly spoke:
"Elder Li, you seem very interested in that newcomer named Xiong Ba?"
Li Xueqing hurriedly suppressed her murderous intent.
However, she didn't hide anything and said directly:
"Sect Leader, this person's origins are unknown, I will keep a close eye on him!"
Yu Linglong said faintly:
"As an Enforcement Elder, you must not let personal matters interfere with public duties."
"I think this Xiong Ba is very promising, and I will also pay close attention to him."
"While Elder Li is watching him, you must also pay attention to the reputation of my Dragon Transformation Sect."
"Especially, don't use the little tricks you just used again, lest you become a laughingstock."
Li Xueqing was stunned upon hearing this.
She understood the meaning in Yu Linglong's words.
Her actions had been discovered by the Sect Leader.
Li Xueqing, as an elder and a sect elder, relied on poisoning to plot against a junior, but she actually failed.
This kind of thing was naturally embarrassing!
This made Li Xueqing frown deeply.
Even now, she still didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Moreover, she didn't understand why the Sect Leader valued that Xiong Ba so much?
At this time.
The initiation ceremony had already been completed.
Liang Jin discovered that new information had appeared on the system panel.
【Today's completed sect quests: 2】
It's just that the new intelligence obtained seemed to be useless.
This made Liang Jin secretly shake his head, it seemed that the characteristic of 【Daily Intelligence】 was full of uncertainty.
Some intelligence was useful, and could even pry into the plans of a third-rank martial artist.
But some intelligence was very useless… …
On the other side.
Under the canopy.
As the initiation ceremony ended, a group of sect leaders and elders had already begun preparing to leave.
At this time.
Yu Linglong suddenly spoke:
"My sect is full of talented people, and now we have added new talents, it is time to give these new disciples some opportunities to show their talents."
"I see that the sect's financial surplus is quite large now. I would like to hear the opinions of the new disciples on how to use these surpluses."
As soon as these words came out, the elders showed surprise.
Especially the elder in charge of finances, who wanted to speak several times but stopped.
When did the financial affairs of the sect become the business of a group of new disciples?
Everyone didn't understand Yu Linglong's thoughts, but they couldn't offend the Sect Leader's authority, so they could only wait and see.
As for the new recruits, they were eager to show off when they heard there was an opportunity to perform.
Suddenly.
Yu Linglong stretched out her finger and pointed to Liang Jin, who had been silent among the newcomers:
"Xiong Ba, I would like to hear your opinion."
Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on Liang Jin.
Li Xueqing raised her eyebrows and glared coldly.
Liang Jin was also very surprised.
He didn't expect that Yu Linglong would call on him.
However, Liang Jin currently needed Yu Linglong to protect him from Li Xueqing's poisonous hands, so it was impossible for him to deal with it casually.
Just as Liang Jin was thinking about how to answer in order to increase Yu Linglong's favor towards him.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of the second piece of intelligence provided by 【Daily Intelligence】.
Immediately, Liang Jin replied loudly:
"Most of Dongzhou's spices rely on overseas imports, among which cloves and nutmeg are the most common."
"But the weather at sea is unpredictable, and merchant ships often encounter storms and sink, which is very risky."
"Therefore, I think that all the taels that can be used in the sect should be used to hoard cloves and nutmeg."
"Perhaps these two spices will skyrocket in price soon. When the hoarded goods are sold, it will definitely earn a lot of income for the sect."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sneered.
As expected, he was well-developed but simple-minded.
The price of spices in Dongzhou has always fluctuated little.
If you want the price of Dongzhou spices to skyrocket, unless the entire fleet transporting spices from the spice-producing area sinks.
However, the spices imported are all large ships, which can withstand big storms. They are equipped with experienced captains and helmsmen, who can often sense weather changes in advance and plan routes to avoid storms in advance.
How could such a low-probability event as a fleet sinking easily happen?
A sect's silver taels are related to the stability of the sect and are of great importance.
How could it be used to gamble on such a low-probability event?
Isn't that absurd?
But who knew.
Yu Linglong immediately clapped her hands and praised upon hearing this:
"Good idea!"
"Order to immediately use all the silver taels that can be used in the sect to purchase cloves and nutmeg in Dongzhou for hoarding."
Immediately, everyone was dumbfounded.
The big man said it casually, and the Sect Leader actually adopted it?
Even Liang Jin himself didn't expect that this Yu Linglong was so easy to talk to?
Was she not very smart?
Or did she really have a unique taste and like his type of muscular man?
Liang Jin felt that both were unlikely.
The group of elders from the Dragon Transformation Sect felt that the Sect Leader's decision was too absurd.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!
The elder in charge of finances immediately stood up to refute:
"Sect Leader, absolutely not!"
"Especially if I calculate the time and convention, I am afraid that a large batch of spices from Majia will arrive in Dongzhou soon, and the quantity is large."
"At that time, the price of spices will inevitably drop."
"If the Dragon Transformation Sect hoards spices at this time, I am afraid that they will all be smashed in their hands at that time, and they will lose everything!"
The elder in charge of finances was familiar with the Dongzhou market and naturally knew the rules of spice transportation.
As he spoke, Li Xueqing also left to echo:
"Sect Leader, this Xiong Ba is talking nonsense like this, he must have ulterior motives!"
"Please Sect Leader be clear, do not believe his nonsense!"
The other elders nodded one after another.
This big man had only entered the sect for less than an hour, and he could arbitrarily discuss the use of the sect's silver taels.
He could even get the Sect Leader's approval.
Isn't this absurd and ridiculous?
Yu Linglong faced a group of questions, but said coldly:
"I believe in Xiong Ba's vision!"
"This matter is settled like this, immediately start to handle it."
"Okay, I am tired, no more discussion."
Yu Linglong's tough attitude made the elders look at each other.
Li Xueqing also frowned and was worried.
If there was something wrong with the sect's silver taels, how could the sect's great cause be completed?
But in the Dragon Transformation Sect, the Sect Leader represented supreme authority.
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they could only obey.
At this time.
Suddenly, Yu Linglong moved her feet and actually stood up and flew up.
Her figure was ethereal, as if completely unaffected by gravity, flying ten feet above the ground.
Her skirt fluttered, like a fairy in the clouds.
In a few breaths, she had disappeared into the depths of the island.
"What a terrifying lightness skill!"
Liang Jin was shocked when he saw this.
Is this the lightness skill realm of a second-rank martial artist?
Liang Jin couldn't see how Yu Linglong did it at all.
The group of newcomers around Liang Jin were even more shocked beyond words.
Some ignorant people among them even thought they had seen an immortal and were so frightened that they knelt down and worshiped.
The next moment.
A group of elders actually rose into the air and flew away by lightly stepping on the treetops.
Their lightness skills were obviously not as elegant as Yu Linglong's, at least two levels worse.
But this also showed that their martial arts were also very terrifying and frightening.
The only one left was Li Xueqing.
She came to Liang Jin and stared at Liang Jin coldly.
Liang Jin bowed slightly:
"I wonder what Elder Li can teach me?"
Liang Jin at this time, but instead knew that Li Xueqing would not kill him for the time being.
If something went wrong with the sect's silver taels, it would naturally be impossible for the Sect Leader Yu Linglong to take responsibility.
And the most suitable person to be responsible was Liang Jin, who made the suggestion.
If Li Xueqing killed Liang Jin at this time, who would she find to take the blame in the future?
Sure enough.
Li Xueqing just said in a deep voice:
"Good boy!"
"If something goes wrong with the sect's silver taels, I will kill you first!"
After saying that, Li Xueqing snorted coldly, and then flew away from the open space.
After the higher-ups had left.
I saw a sect disciple walking towards the newcomers:
"Please come with me, fellow junior brothers and sisters who have just joined the sect."
"I will introduce the sect rules to everyone and arrange places to live."
Liang Jin then followed the group of newcomers, following the disciple.
