After Li Jiwei finished speaking, he also sighed: "Four years ago, we participated in the Yuxu Empire's Sect Martial Arts Competition once every five years, and won the fourth place from the bottom, and once again became the laughing stock of Yuan Jingcheng. ”

"Didn't Master Ye think about changing this situation?"

Ling Xiaoye listened to Li Jiwei's narration and asked puzzled.

"Yes, but it didn't work so much, we didn't feel it. So he simply broke the jar and broke it, and lived a leisurely life like the head of Jiao'er Lang. ”

Ling Xiaoye fell into silence again, his eyes staring straight at the sky, remembering something.

This Li Jiwei saw that Ling Xiaoye was just asking questions, and he was still distracted at the moment, so he asked, "This fellow Daoist, can you go down here?" I want to go back and sleep first." ”

Ling Xiaoye came back to his senses and knocked the little fat man with the head token, and with a bang, Li Jiwei hugged his head and rubbed it, and kept saying: "Pain, pain, pain, ......"

"If you want to go back to sleep, take me to the elder immediately. ”

"The elders are basically in retreat, and they don't care. What are you looking for them?"

With a bang, Li Jiwei was knocked again, and he bared his teeth in pain. Although he had a complaint, Ling Xiaoye's strength was too strong, and he knew that he couldn't beat it, so he could only endure it.

"If there is any elder who has not retreated, let's go and visit him first. ”

"The three elders are in charge of the medicine store in the account, and he is the only one who has not retreated. But he, like the retreat, doesn't want to be disturbed, doesn't usually go out, and doesn't want people to disturb him. Li Jiwei replied.

A smile appeared on Ling Xiaoye's face and said, "Then go find him, you lead the way." ”

Li Jiwei walked reluctantly and led Ling Xiaoye to the treasury where the three elders were.

The scale of Qinglanmen is not large, they just walked for a stick of incense, and then they arrived at the warehouse. Li Jiwei approached the door, knocked on it, and reported to himself: "Senior Li Jiwei, I have something to ask to see the elders!"

After a while, a lazy voice sounded in the room, saying, "Today is not the day to distribute wages and pills, didn't you say not to disturb the old man?"

"There is a Taoist friend, holding a gold medal, saying that he is looking for you. Li Jiwei continued to say through the door.

After a while, the voice sounded again: "No matter what gold and silver medals he has, he will not be seen." Take him and get out together, otherwise, Hugh blames the old man for being polite!"

This tone suddenly became heavy, making Li Jiwei outside the door shudder, and he took a step back in fright, he turned his head and said to Ling Xiaoye, "Look, I said that the Third Elder will not be a guest!"

Ling Xiaoye smiled and asked Li Jiwei to go first. After the little fat man left, the lazy voice came from the house again: "Boy, why don't you leave, do you have to wait for the old man to drive you away before leaving?"

"Why should I go?" Ling Xiaoye asked rhetorically.

"What a big breath. But the old man wants to hear it, why are you coming to me?"

"It's nothing, it's just to visit the elders, check the account books and so on. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room, and after a while, the voice sounded, but at this time, Ling Xiaoye could hear the anger contained in it: "Who are you? Who gave you the authority to check the ledger?"

"I am the acting head appointed by the head of the Ye family, and I still have his token in my hand, do you think I have any power?"

"Joke, Ye Qingyuan, that guy is as shrewd as a fox, he will appoint someone he doesn't know as the acting head, do you think I'm old and confused?"

"I've been standing for so long, and you've been in the house and not coming out, to see for yourself if this token is real. Alternatively, you can use your mind to check if the token is real. ”

Squeak!

The door was pushed open by an old man, and Ling Xiaoye fixed his eyes and looked at the three elders.

The three elders only had gray temples, and the hair on them was indeed black and shiny. His face is not long, and there is more longer meat, but he looks like the shopkeeper of a restaurant in the world, white and tender, with a round and purring face, and a pair of small eyes. And his stature is a few points shorter than ordinary people, and he walks swaying, which is quite funny.

When the third elder looked at the token that Ling Xiaoye took out, he immediately became angry, and scolded in the air: "This damn Ye master, how many years has he occupied the position of the head of the house and didn't let go, but now it's poured, and the fat water has flowed into the outer fields." ”

Ling Xiaoye could only laugh and say nothing, to be honest, he still regretted agreeing to Ye Qingyuan's request and becoming the acting head of this broken sect.

But you can't give up halfway, break your word and get fat, promise others, and do this thing well. This is also one of Ling Xiaoye's guidelines.

The third elder still scolded, but he still suppressed his anger later, but his round face had an angry expression, which made people laugh even more.

"I don't know the name of the acting head, please advise. ”

The third elder's irritable attitude suddenly turned around, became a little polite, and asked.

Ling Xiaoye put away the token and said, "Ling Xiaoye." ”

"Okay, Master Ling, the old man will take you to check the account book. As soon as the three elders finished speaking, they made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Ling Xiaoye to enter the warehouse.

This warehouse is not very large, but Ling Xiaoye observed it and found that there was still a passage to go underground.

The Third Elder's expression began to become flat and gentle, and he didn't care about anything, he led Ling Xiaoye to this passage, preparing to go to the underground warehouse.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, since Master Ling was entrusted by the previous head to lead our Qinglanmen, then I, an elder, have nothing to ask. ”

"It's just that Master Ling wants to check the account book as soon as he comes, what is this trying to do?"

Ling Xiaoye smiled again, thinking that back then, he and his senior brother took on various tasks, and once helped a restaurant check the accounts, and they still knew something.

In this world, from the royal family to the common people, you can settle accounts, but the number and form of records are different, but the essence of bookkeeping is to record profits and losses, and you can also see some far-reaching problems from it. Ling Xiaoye has been in contact, and with his bright head, he still learned a little bit and knows how to read the account book.

The three elders took Ling Xiaoye to turn left and right, passed through several shelves, and finally came to a secret room about the size of the ground, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The night pearl inside emits a soft light that illuminates the interior of this house.

The third elder pointed to the pile of yellowed books and said, "Master Ling, this is the account book of the past years. However, in the past few years, due to lack of manpower, only a rough record has been made, not the most accurate data. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look. ”

After Ling Xiaoye finished speaking, he picked up an account book as thick as a brick and began to flip through it.

As the number of pages he turned increased, Ling Xiaoye's face became more and more solemn. He paused for a moment and said, "Why spend this piece and always don't earn more?"

The third elder shook his head and said, "Master Ling doesn't know, since the head of Qinglanmen left, the talent has withered, and Master Ye is not very good at taking care of things, basically eating, drinking, and having fun, sometimes when the money is not enough, he comes to the treasury to get it." ”

"Then why not stop him?"

"Master Ye's cultivation is good, he can't beat him. ”

"Well, I also saw a lot of white slips written when taking money, all of which were signed with Ye Qingyuan's name. ”

Ling Xiaoye flipped through the account book again, and after a while, he asked, "Why is the record of income so small, far lower than the money spent!"

"Alas, since the most powerful alchemist in the sect sat down, for more than a hundred years, there has never been a talent comparable to it, so the elixir refined has a bad reputation, and slowly no one will come to buy it. There are basically no alchemists now, they are all those junior disciples who are refining, and there are a lot of leftovers from the past, which is enough for the sect to use. But if you want to continue selling, there is not much hope. ”

After the third elder finished speaking, he sighed again and again: "The refiner is also gone, the magic circle master can't be cultivated, and the sect doesn't have people who make sophisticated weapons and treasures, where is there any income." I can only let those disciples go hunting some demon beasts and the like from time to time, and exchange them for money, which is enough. ”

Ling Xiaoye flipped through the account books, listened to the explanations of the three elders, and also had a general understanding of the situation in Qinglanmen.

The current Qinglanmen is only one step away from disbanding. Ye Zhangmen was dashing, but the money of the sect was spent, and it was those disciples who suffered. To add insult to injury, the money that the sect received for a whole year was not enough for the previous head of the sect for a month. Ling Xiaoye understood why Ye Qingyuan would be the acting head of him and ask him for so much money.

Ling Xiaoye and Pan Chuchu had scavenged so much money in order to ensure that their intelligence agency could be guaranteed and grow smoothly.

The current Qinglan Sect, on the surface, the disciples have withered, and it is already unsustainable. Internally, there is not much money to keep the sect running, and there are still a lot of foreign debts.

This situation continued, and within ten years, the Qinglanmen was either flattened by creditors, or had to be disbanded because there were no disciples to grow.

This is really a mess, no wonder Ye Qingyuan simply let Ling Xiaoye be the head, this is simply falling into the fire pit, seeing a person, he directly pulled this person into the pit to cushion his back, and then ran away by himself.

Ling Xiaoye was in no mood to look through these ledgers, he put the brick-thick ledger back in its place, not knowing what to say.

It was the third elder, his round face, calm as water, he said faintly: "Master Ling, now that you have become the head of the house and have read the account book, you should know what to do." The old man is old, and his cultivation has stagnated, so I am afraid that he will not be able to help Master Ling and revive the sect. ”

"Well, it's fine. Ling Xiaoye was about to say what he thought, but was interrupted by a rush of footsteps.

After a while, a disciple who was sweating profusely and panting rushed in and shouted loudly: "Oh no, no, Third Elder, a group of masters came outside, holding weapons in their hands, saying that they were looking for the master. Several brothers and sisters were injured by them!"
