Chapter 557: Are they going undercover or to confess?
"Hiss~" Ji Lao took a breath of cold air, his eyebrows twisted into a knot, "Will Tianzun agree to such a large amount? Given his personality, he might even be suspicious of us because of this!"
"Things have come to this point. Is there any other way?"
Mao Lao spread his hands helplessly, "Don't forget, we made a promise before we left! If we go back in disgrace, the outcome won't be any better."
Lord Tianzun has a bad temper. If we return empty-handed, the best outcome would be being beaten half to death. As for the position of elder, he would certainly be stripped of it.
"Okay! I'll write a letter and send it back to the Holy Fire Temple immediately."
The two immediately returned to their temporary residence. Ji Lao bit his finger and quickly wrote a handwritten letter.
Dear Lord Tianzun:
Today, the two of us have lived up to the trust and have successfully penetrated the enemy and become the top leaders of the sect. However, for the next step of the plan, we still need financial support (Xuan crystal, 50 million). This matter is extremely urgent, please arrange it quickly! We are waiting for good news.
wish:
May your Majesty be in good health! May you be invincible!

"Hiss~ Isn't it a bit too much to write like this?" Old Cat looked at the content above, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
He was clearly just a chores disciple, but he claimed to be a high-ranking official! This was clearly a deception to the Heavenly Venerable. If he knew the truth, wouldn't he jump up and kill the whole family?
In response, Ji Lao just laughed and said, "Why panic? Once we get the money, we can bribe that black-hearted woman and naturally we will be the top executives."
"That's right." Old Cat nodded, "But this time, we can't give it all to her! We have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Soon, the expedited letter was delivered to Tan Yao.
When he saw the number 50 million, he jumped up in shock.
Fifty million! This is not a small amount!
"Are they going undercover or to pay tribute?" Tan Yao paced back and forth, holding the letter.
I thought to myself: These two guys won’t be fooled, right?
After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind. He simply summoned all the elders and showed the letter to them.
He knocked on the table and said, "Tell me what you think. This is the third time they've asked their family for money!"
As one of the elders, Zhu Lao spoke first: "Master Tianzun, this is a good thing! Since they have become high-level officials, they naturally need a lot of spirit crystals to smooth over the relationship, and they may even be able to instigate some high-level officials to rebel!"
"That makes sense!" Another elder also nodded in agreement, "As long as things go smoothly, it will be easy to destroy the Yunxi Sect. Even with the support of the Han family, it will be useless."
Some people also objected: "But this number is too high! If they are exposed, won't they suffer huge losses?"
Old Pig glanced at the man and spoke again: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Without courage, how can you produce? Lord Tianzun, I am willing to guarantee them! Please allocate funds quickly!"
But he secretly thought: This way, when we destroy the Yunxi Sect, I can also get some credit! Great!
"What Old Zhu said is true! If you want to gain something, you must first pay. When her sect is destroyed, all the resources will naturally return to our hands! Lord Tianzun, please allocate funds quickly!"
"Please, Lord Tianzun, allocate funds quickly!"
"Hmm..." Seeing that everyone's opinions were basically the same, Tan Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "If that's the case, then let's do as you say! Someone, go to the warehouse to get the spirit crystals. Make sure to deliver them to them in the shortest possible time."
"Yes!"

Two days later, the storage ring filled with black crystals was delivered to the two elders, Chicken and Cat.
Before the ambassador left, he reminded them, "Lord Tianzun has repeatedly reminded us that these spirit crystals must be spent wisely! If you two dare to embezzle them, you will bear the consequences."
"That's impossible." Ji Lao hurriedly shook his head. "We are indifferent by nature and regard money as dirt. How could we have any selfish motives? Please tell Lord Tianzun that we will live up to your expectations!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Ji and I are absolutely trustworthy!" Old Cat echoed.
"Well," the ambassador who was delivering the money nodded slightly, "I'll take my leave then. If I stay too long, it might arouse suspicion. You don't have to see me off. Just pretend that I've never been here."
"Then take care! Remember to say hello to Lord Tianzun on our behalf."
After seeing off the God of Wealth, the Chicken and the Cat breathed a sigh of relief.
It was getting late, and after some discussion, the two decided to go look for that evil woman tomorrow.
And at this time the Yunxi Sect.
Chi Yu was lying on the bed in the new cave.
Looking up at the ceiling, he muttered to himself, "According to the time, the two fortune-giving boys should be here soon, right? I wonder how many spirit crystals they will give me this time. I'm looking forward to it!"
The next morning.
Chi Yu, who was still lying in bed, was awakened by a series of rapid knocking sounds.
After getting dressed, he walked out of the cave yawning, only to see Liyue standing outside the cave's barrier with an anxious look on her face.
"Those two people are here again!"
"Really?" Chi Yu immediately became excited upon hearing this and rushed to the interview site.
Compared to the previous few days, there are obviously fewer disciples coming to register.
This time, it only took the Chicken and the Cat half an hour to see Chi in person.
"Fairy, we have been thinking about this for a long time and still feel that this menial disciple is not in line with our status..."
At this point, Ji Lao handed over the storage ring very straightforwardly, "This is 10 million black crystals, please accept it! For our matter, you can try to get a higher price."
"Swish~" Chi Yu's hand was as fast as lightning. Before Ji Lao could react, the storage ring in his hand had disappeared.
"Ahem~" Chi Yu coughed dryly and straightened his face, "You two should have figured it out. I didn't mean to embarrass you two. It's just that your image seriously violates the sect's disciple recruitment guidelines.
If you don’t believe me, you two can go around and take a look at my Yunxi Sect disciples. The men are all handsome and elegant, and the women are beautiful as fairies, noble and elegant! As for the two of you, it’s hard to describe your looks…”
"Yes, yes, yes~" Ji Lao agreed on the surface, but he had already started cursing in his heart.
What's wrong with me being ugly? At least my heart is clean and flawless, unlike some people who look good but their heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, intestines and stomach are all black!
Such a cancer and scourge will sooner or later bring about a catastrophic disaster to the sect!
"How about this, I'll go and talk for you guys again, but I can't guarantee how far I can get... After all, this matter, tsk~" Chi Yu smacked his lips, "It's really hard to handle!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Fairy! We will wait for good news."
"Well~ Go ahead! I will give you a satisfactory answer in three days." Chi Yu waved his hand and sent the two away.
He went straight back to the cave and began to count money happily.
