Chapter 397 Severance pay + borrowing money from Tianlong Temple

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Qingyao glanced at Ye Fei: "What a mess!"

"Hehe..." Ye Fei grinned: "Senior Sister, I'm just making a random analogy."

"You can't use a random metaphor!" Wang Ergou glared at Ye Fei: "So many ancestors of the Thousand Immortal Sect went in without hesitation to sacrifice their lives. Did they all go in to enjoy themselves?"

"Hehe, Master, I know I was wrong." Ye Fei smiled awkwardly and nodded: "I won't make such a stupid analogy anymore in the future."

"But, Thirteen, what you said just now is true. Since God's will cannot be violated, we can only follow it and enjoy the process. That's exactly what we should do!" Wang Ergou paused here, and then suddenly added: "To be honest, this metaphor is really good!"

Ye Fei: “…”

Feng Qingyao: "..."

Feng Qingyao looked at Wang Ergou with contempt.

“Haha…” Wang Ergou was not angry at all when his two apprentices looked at him like that. Instead, he smiled happily: “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go back!”

Immediately afterwards, the master and his two disciples rushed back to Qianshan Sect together.

When the three returned to Qianxian Sect, Ding Dashan was sitting at the gate with his certificate, waiting eagerly.

As soon as he saw Wang Ergou, Ye Fei, Feng Qingyao and the other two appearing not far from the gate, he immediately grinned and ran towards Ye Fei and the others: "Hey, Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother...you are back!"

While Ding Dashan was speaking, he had already run up to the group.

"Where are Eighteen and the others?" Wang Ergou asked.

"I asked them to clean the room for my senior brother!" said Ding Dashan.

"No need to clean!" Wang Ergou said in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Ding Dashan was stunned for a moment.

"What?" Wang Ergou said coldly, "Go and dismiss all Eighteen and the others, and give each of them a severance pay of 100 top-grade spirit stones."

"Why, Master?" Ding Dashan looked confused.

"Why so many whys!" Wang Ergou said coldly, "We should leave! Your senior brother is back, why are we still staying here!"

"Haha, great!" Ding Dashan looked excited and immediately turned around and walked towards the yard happily.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back, and stretched out his hand to Wang Ergou: "Master..."

"What are you doing?" Wang Ergou looked very impatient.

"Severance pay!" Ding Dashan curled his lips and said, "All the money earned by the sect is with you. Do you want me to pay for this severance pay out of my own pocket?"

"Uh..." Wang Ergou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said in a friendly manner: "Hehe, Fourteenth, you see, ever since you became my disciple, Master has always been very good to you, right? Especially in the past ten years, Master has helped you to increase your cultivation a lot, right? Can you help Master pay for the severance pay first?"

"Haha..." Ding Dashan smiled disdainfully: "Master, it's better if you don't mention these things. I get angry when you mention them. You treat me like that, and you still have the nerve to say that you treat me well. If I hadn't been reluctant to leave my senior sister, I would have betrayed the sect long ago!"

Wang Ergou: “You…”

"Hmph..." Ding Dashan snorted again: "When I first became your disciple, I was either bitten by dogs or poisoned by you. Now you still have the nerve to tell me that you treat me well."

“Then your master has at least helped you break through to the Zhenwu realm in these ten years!” Wang Ergou said disdainfully: “If it were someone else, would you be able to reach the Zhenwu realm in ten years? Even in twenty years, you might not be able to do it!”

"Master, did you help me with this?" Ding Dashan said with disdain: "This is because I work so hard every day to receive customers and get beaten up by people. Did I learn this through hard work?

Humph, in the past ten years, I was beaten at least three to five times a day, especially in the beginning when there were many people coming. I remember one day I was beaten forty-eight times in just one morning!

How dare you tell me now that you helped me to reach the Zhenwu realm!

That's fine, I get beaten every day, but you make all the money, and you still won't give me any... Oh, by the way, Master, you said you would share the money when Senior Brother comes back!"

After Ding Dashan finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the corner of Wang Ergou's sleeve tightly and said, "Now that my senior brother is back and the sect is going to be disbanded, we can finally divide the money, right? Now you have no excuses, right?"

"Break, break, break..." Wang Ergou shook his hand impatiently and shook Ding Dashan's hand away: "I didn't say no!"

"Then let's divide it now!" Feng Qingyao also came over.

Wang Ergou said disdainfully, "Fourteenth has suffered a lot for the sect, but you have never been beaten for the sect, so why are you joining in the fun!"

"Hmph..." Feng Qingyao snorted coldly: "When we first started to establish our sect, you used me as a gimmick, saying that you had a beautiful senior sister to help with laundry and cooking. During that time, I had to wash clothes for hundreds of people every day, and my hands were all rotten. If I didn't get beaten, I wouldn't get any money!"

"Break, break, break!" Wang Ergou curled his lips at Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan with disdain: "Look at how useless you two are. You only know how to bully others at home all day long. What's the point of you bullying me? If you have the ability, go to Tianlong Temple and show off your power!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and divide the money, now!" Feng Qingyao grabbed the corner of Wang Ergou's sleeve with her left hand and stretched out her right hand in front of Wang Ergou.

Wang Ergou glanced at Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan, pretended to rummage through his storage ring for a while, and suddenly spread his hands: "There is no money left, not a cent left, each of you should keep an account!"

"Ah?" Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan exclaimed in unison.

"Master!" Feng Qingyao looked at Wang Ergou in shock. "In the past ten years, we have helped you earn at least a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. Even after deducting the sect's expenses, there are still at least fifty or sixty thousand yuan. Now you tell us that you have no money left?"

"What do you mean by 50,000 or 60,000..." Wang Ergou curled his lips and said arrogantly, "Just divide it according to 60,000! I am not like you who haggle over a small amount of money. Just add another 20,000 top-grade spirit stones to my account, it's no big deal!"

"Do you still remember? Master, do you know how much money you owe us over the years?" Ding Dashan said contemptuously.

"That's right!" Feng Qingyao echoed, "When are you going to pay us back the money you owe us?"

"Ah?" Ye Fei was stunned: "Now the master owes you?"

"Of course!" Feng Qingyao said with a smug smile, "Humph, we owed him ten years ago, and now he owes us a lot. The account book I used before was full a few years ago, and I have already changed to a new one."

"Me too!" Ding Dashan said to Ye Fei with a proud look on his face: "Haha, Senior Brother, you still owe Master, right?"

"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded.

"Haha, now you don't have to worry about Master forcing you to collect your debt again!" Ding Dashan laughed happily.

"Yes!" Feng Qingyao also smiled happily and said, "If Master forces you again, we will force him!"

Hearing what they said, Ye Fei was delighted and touched: "You are still good to me!"

Hehe, it seems that the money owed to Master can finally be paid off.

"Of course!" Ding Dashan patted his chest and said, "Brother, if you have money in the future and want to pay Master back, you don't have to pay him back, just pay me back!"

Ye Fei: "???"

Feng Qingyao: "Yes, you can give it back to me!"

Ye Fei: “…”

"Hurry up, stop talking about these useless things, hurry up and record the account!" Wang Ergou said impatiently: "Hurry up and write it down and sign it for me, I have something important to do and I need to take Thirteen out."

Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan looked at each other, then they took out their account books helplessly and made another entry.

Then each of them handed their own small notebook to Wang Ergou, who signed his name on the two account books one by one with a flourish of his pen.

"It's all right now!" Wang Ergou returned the two account books to Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan, and curled his lips: "By the way, Shi Ba and the others have been with us for so many years, don't forget to give them a hundred yuan severance pay each. Just put it in my account! It's no big deal!"

Ding Dashan and Feng Qingyao both looked at Wang Ergou with disdain again.

Feng Qingyao: "Master, you really are not burdened by too much debt now, right?"

Ding Dashan: "Master, you must pay back this money. We are not kidding you. The money you owe us is the hard-earned money of me and my senior sister. If you don't pay it back, we will have nothing to do as master and apprentice!"

"Tsk tsk..." Wang Ergou curled his lips in disdain: "Look at how useless you two are. The little money I owe you is just a drop in the bucket for me. If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. The debts I owe to all the major sects in the three major star regions are all much more than you two! Humph... I owe a lot of money, who do you two think I am!"

Feng Qingyao: "..."

Ding Dashan: “…”

"Alright, alright, get busy!" Wang Ergou waved at Feng Qingyao and Ding Dashan, "I'll take Thirteen to Tianlong Temple! Pack up your things at home, and don't run around before we come back!"

"Ah?" Feng Qingyao exclaimed: "Master, are you going to Tianlong Temple again?"

When Feng Qingyao said this, there was obviously some fear in her expression.

"Let's tackle the tough issue of Tianlong Temple first!" Wang Ergou said viciously.

"A tough nut to crack?" Ye Fei was stunned, feeling that this Tianlong Temple was a little unusual.

"Yes, since we want to collect protection fees, we have to start from the most powerful ones." Wang Ergou said seriously: "After I have given the most powerful ones, it will be much easier to collect protection fees from the others!"

"But..." Feng Qingyao said with disdain: "We have been there so many times, and we couldn't even get in the door. What's so special about you taking Thirteen there again!"

"Of course!" Wang Ergou smiled proudly: "After they meet Thirteen, the result this time will definitely be different."

"Senior Sister, what's the situation at Tianlong Temple?" Ye Fei asked with some vigilance.

He had already realized through the conversation between Wang Ergou and Feng Qingyao that the Tianlong Temple was obviously not simple.

Feng Qingyao looked at Ye Fei and shook her head.

Then he pouted and said to Wang Ergou, "Master, Thirteen just came back, can't you let him rest for a night before going?"

"Strike while the iron is hot!" Wang Ergou curled his lips and said, "You didn't succeed yesterday. Let Thirteen try again today. Maybe it will work!"

After Wang Ergou finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Ye Fei: "Thirteen, let's go!"

Wang Ergou turned around and strode away.

"Oh..." Ye Fei responded and followed Wang Ergou with a confused look on his face.

After walking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Feng Qingyao again.

At the same time, Feng Qingyao was also looking at Ye Fei with a worried look on her face, and said to him through soul transmission: "Thirteen, you have to be careful, Master is taking you to fight with those old monks in Tianlong Temple!"

Ye Fei: “…”

Hearing Feng Qingyao say that, Ye Fei's heart couldn't help but tremble.

He had heard his third senior sister mention Tianlong Temple many times when he was in the Demon Realm.

It is said that this is the largest temple in the three major star fields, and it has an unshakable lofty status in the entire three major star fields.

In particular, all the monks there have extremely high levels of cultivation.

It is said that monks from other temples in the three major star fields are proud to be able to make a pilgrimage to the Tianlong Temple in the Lingxu Star Field.

Master is crazy?

Why would you go and fight with those old monks in Tianlong Temple for no reason?

With this in mind, Ye Fei hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Master, are you taking me to fight with those monks in Tianlong Temple?"

Wang Ergou nodded: "Yes!"

Ye Fei: "Why fight with them?"

Wang Ergou: "I went to them to borrow some money but they refused. They even had someone block me outside the temple and wouldn't let me in. Isn't that infuriating?"

Ye Fei: “…”

Ye Fei: "It's normal for them not to let you in if they don't want to lend you money. Why are you angry?"

Wang Ergou: "The problem is that I already owed them money!"

Ye Fei: "???"

Is this a "problem" for him?

Ye Fei: "You owed them money before, so it makes sense for them not to let you in! Is there anything wrong with that?"

Wang Ergou: "The problem is, I owed them 8 million before, and this time I just want to borrow another 2 million. Is that too much? Besides, I just want to make it an integer so that it's easier to remember. This will benefit everyone. Why shouldn't he lend it to me?"

Ye Fei: "Master, this is a bit too unreasonable..."

Wang Ergou: "Stop talking nonsense! What's the matter, brat? Now that you have some skills, have you forgotten what you promised your master? Do you want to go back on your word?"

Ye Fei: "What did I promise you?"

Wang Ergou: "Have you forgotten everything you promised me when I taught you the skills in the demon realm?"

Ye Fei: "I haven't forgotten! If you collect a debt and the debtor doesn't pay it back, I will help you beat him up; if someone asks you for a debt and you don't pay it back, I will help you beat him up; but you didn't seem to say at the time that if you lend money and the debtor doesn't lend it back, I will also help you beat him up, right?"
