Chapter 133 Blocking the Door to Demand Debt
Chapter 133 Blocking the Door to Demand Debt
This is bad news. It seems I should follow Uncle Qinghe's example and make a hasty escape.
Seeing this, Shen Rugo quickly laughed it off, "Master, and fellow disciples, Zhao Dayou still owes me 40,000 low-grade spirit stones. I'll challenge him to a duel right now. You all go ahead and do your work!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already dashed out.
"Chen Tianba, you little brat, are you planning to rebel again?"
With Shen Rugo gone, Daoist Xingchen also let go of his inhibitions.
To be honest, he really didn't want Shen Rugo to be here and see him being angrily berated by several of his direct disciples.
He was, after all, the head of the Star Palace and their master. He could be shameless, but he still had to save face.
"Rebellion, old man! If we really wanted to rebel, we wouldn't have remained silent and let you spout nonsense!"
"Quickly tell us, what are the odds this time? And where did you hide all those spirit stones?"
Chen Tianba was furious. He had invested over seven thousand top-grade spirit stones, and he was planning to earn over a thousand times that amount, which would amount to over seven million top-grade spirit stones.
With so many spirit stones, he no longer needed to rely on the Chen family.
Besides, even the Chen family would need more than ten years to earn over seven million top-grade spirit stones.
But now, they've given him 280,000 top-grade spirit stones—the disparity is just too great.
"Fourth brother, don't be impulsive. Master must have his reasons for doing this. Let's hear what Master has to say first!"
Lu Haoran quickly stopped him.
Although their master was shameless, he was truly devoted to the Star Palace.
"Listen to him, he's just spouting nonsense!"
Chen Tianba snorted.
However, after speaking, he fell silent, staring intently at the Star Daoist.
"You little brat, isn't everything I'm doing for you?"
Since you all know, I won't hide it from you anymore. This time it's not 45.58 times, but 300 times.
All those spirit stones are hidden in the secret realm and belong to our Star Palace. They should be used on disciples with potential, and no one is allowed to squander them easily.
Chen Tianba, you little bastard, even though you lost out a bit, in the end all those spirit stones were used on your heads.
In the entire Star Palace, besides you few, who else has the most potential disciples?
"Isn't this all for your own good?"
The more Xingchen Daoist spoke, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt, until his eyes reddened.
However, while he was speaking, he quietly changed the odds of over a thousand to three hundred.
We can't reveal anything to these brats.
Even Chen Tianba was speechless at his appearance.
Xiao Changkong, Lu Haoran, and the others nodded repeatedly, their eyes reddening. "Thank you, Master. As expected, Master wasn't doing this for himself, but for the entire Star Palace, and for us!"
"It's good that you know. Don't always think that your master has no bottom line when it comes to spirit stones. Isn't it just because we're too poor that this happened?"
Even the spirit stones I swindled from that little bastard Chen Tianba, not a single one of them was used on myself.
As Xingchen Daoren spoke again, his emotions became increasingly stirred, and his eyes reddened.
To be honest, all the good stuff he swindled from Chen Tianba was actually used for the sect, which is something everyone can see.
"Alright, old man, I admit I misunderstood you this time. Whether what you said about three hundred times is true or not, I won't pursue it any further."
Chen Tianba, who had been so aggressive and ready to cause a ruckus, immediately backed down.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Our Star Palace is no longer poor. From now on, you should devote yourselves fully to cultivation.
Those who need various magical treasures and elixirs can purchase them with complete confidence.
If you need any help from the sect, just ask.
Of course, since you have plenty of money now, you should use your own first and not keep thinking about the spirit stones in the sect.
After all, it still has great uses!
Daoist Xingchen waved to the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he sent the five of them out of Xingchen Peak.
He had just broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm and needed to consolidate his cultivation; he didn't have time to waste on these disciples.
After leaving Star Peak, Shen Rugo headed straight for the outer gate.
She still wants to fight Zhao Dayou.
She wanted to win another 40,000 low-grade spirit stones from Zhang Shiduo.
Since the end of the grand competition that day, the disciples and elders of the Star Palace were unaware of what had happened to Daoist Star and others.
However, everyone kept arguing and complaining, and everyone was indignant.
Everyone, even the junior disciples who had just started, took out their only spirit stones and gambled on Zhang Shiduo.
As a result, tens of thousands of people in the Star Palace were all cheated out of their spirit stones, and everyone was furious.
Many of his disciples even blocked Zhang Shiduo's door.
Even after three or four days, the situation has not calmed down.
Shen Rugo had just come out of the inner gate and hadn't even reached the outer gate when she heard a loud shout from below.
"Zhang Shiduo, you piece of trash, get out here right now and pay me back my spirit stones."
"I bet all eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones on you, and now I'm broke!"
"And me too! Twenty high-grade spirit stones, three years' worth of savings, were all swindled away by this bastard! Damn it, come out here! Don't keep hiding in your doghouse!"
"Hey Zhang, your Zhang family is all about having lots of spirit stones, right? Where did your bragging father hide? Find him right now and make us pay back our spirit stones!"
"Don't even think about running away; you can't renege on this debt!"
……
Shen Rugo quietly approached Zhang Shiduo's courtyard and saw that outside the courtyard, one after another disciples of the Star Palace had gathered.
Some were inner disciples, some were outer disciples, and everyone was in high spirits.
Fortunately, there were several people in front of Zhang Shiduo's door, holding long swords and standing ready. They were clearly from the Enforcement Hall.
If it weren't for these people, someone would probably have kicked down Zhang Shiduo's door and dragged him out long ago.
"Don't play dead, kid. Didn't you arrogantly say just a couple of days ago, 'Will you return our spirit stones?'"
"Could it be that you can't contact your father, kid? And your father has been cornered by other cultivators who came to collect money from your Zhang family?"
Looking at these angry people, Shen Rugo knew they had been tricked badly and were venting all their resentment on Zhang Shiduo.
"It seems I'd better not go there, lest they can't find Zhang Shiduo and take their anger out on me!"
Shen Rugo originally wanted to challenge Zhao Dayou and bring Zhang Shiduo along as well.
Zhao Da had no money, so he had to get Zhang Shiduo involved.
Now, however, he shrank back, turned around, and left.
Before Shen Rugo had gone far, a loud shout came from behind, "Isn't that Junior Sister Shen Rugo?"
As the man shouted, Shen Rugo immediately heard footsteps behind her, accompanied by shouts, "Shen Rugo, we've been wanting to see you for a long time, don't rush off!"
Are these guys targeting me?
Shen Rugo walked even faster this time!
