It wasn't a secret that mortal world banks were involved in the circulation of spirit stones in the five rings. If the water was too clear, there would be no fish. Where there were benefits, how could they completely eliminate them?
Although the influence of a sect was great, it was impossible for them to take care of every aspect of the mortal world. But, humanity's heart towards the dao was never left out. If there was a need, there would be a transaction; this was something that everyone tacitly understood.
Generally speaking, as long as one didn't go too far and as long as one had the support of a local sect, there wouldn't be any major problems. As for someone like Daoist Wang, not all of his income went into his own pocket, but most of it was given to his sect as a form of filial piety. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain such a lucrative city!
But what one feared was meddling in other people's business. This was especially true for those cultivators who had just started their cultivation and didn't care about the sand in their eyes. They had a strong sense of justice and traveled the world, making friends and fighting for justice. Only when they grew older and thoroughly understood the cruelty of cultivation and began to place most of their attention on their own future would they not recklessly meddle in these trivial matters.
Meddling wouldn't be thorough, so why bother?
But that was only after a cultivator had fully matured. Before that, these people were the most hated elements of the five rings continent. But, the style of the five rings was that they didn't stop such practices. Rather, they believed that these were the signs of low level cultivators being active.
Fighting was healthier!
Of all the elements of the five rings, the ones they hated the most were the disciples of large sects. In other words, the disciples of sects that had influence throughout the entire world were the disciples of these sects. They placed the order of the five rings on their shoulders, and weren't they afraid of breaking their own shoulders!
Comparatively speaking, the ability of disciples of local sects to stir up trouble was much weaker. For example, Daoist Wang came from a local sect. If he went to the outside world, he definitely wouldn't stir up trouble. As for these three that came to uphold justice, they were definitely from large sects in the world!
The Xuanyuan that Lou Xiaoyi came from was also a large sect in the world!
As he walked in, the Tian Family Patriarch immediately looked at him with a pitiful expression, no longer begging for mercy. He could see that although the Shaman Sect was usually arrogant and arrogant, if something really happened, then the matters of the cultivation world really wouldn't be too effective!
As he looked over, almost everyone looked over. This was a young man with a sword case on his back. His face was as bright as the sun and he had a warm smile on his face. He gave off a good impression!
Lou Xiaoyi pointed at Tian Family Head, "All of you, get out! Before we come to a conclusion, don't take any action. Just wait!
Also, this person … don't hurt him! "
He then pointed at Yellow Dog Leftover. "You get out too!"
The Tian family members felt as if they had been pardoned from a death sentence and left in a single file. The remaining Yellow Dog was also dawdling. However, seeing that the three people behind him did not say a word, it had no choice but to leave. It wondered where this young cultivator came from and how could he be so domineering!
When there were only five people left in the hall, Lou Xiaoyi cupped his fists and said, "Xuanyuan Cigarette Butt, how should I address you?"
This was the rule between cultivators. Out of politeness, one had to reply. If one did not reply, it would be contempt and they would be mortal enemies! This was not a place to act arrogant!
Because of the sword on his back!
Daoist Wang let out a long breath of relief. He had suffered a great deal here. Although he knew that the three of them wouldn't do anything to him, he didn't dare to do anything to them, because that would mean endless troubles! Unless he hid in the sect forever and never came out, there would definitely be Foundation Establishment cultivators coming to find trouble with him!
"Prince Wu Shan, go! Greetings fellow daoist Xuanyuan! "
"Unsurpassed Return!"
"Unsurpassed Life!"
"Myriad Scenes Flowing Nether Eyes!"
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. "Since we all know each other's backgrounds, I won't waste any more words. Since we're all busy, let's cut the Gordian knot!
Matters of cultivation should be resolved by cultivation!
The bank loaning spirit stones is not an exception! Open an eye and close an eye, let bygones be bygones! If you insist on being serious, then there is naturally a way to be serious!
This bank is the foundation of my Xuanyuan disciples. Fellow daoist Wang is only taking care of it on my behalf! It has nothing to do with him!
The reason why the bank was closed and dissolved is because my senior-apprentice brother passed away. Since he is no longer here, I naturally cannot take advantage of him. This is the rule!
But if someone wants to use this as a pretext to make trouble and take advantage of this opportunity to embezzle, then I, Lou Xiaoyi, may have to continue operating this bank!
Everyone should act with the dignity of cultivators in mind. The death of a person is the most important thing. I'm not going overboard by saying this, right? "
Lou Xiaoyi's words were almost directly revealing the essence of the matter. Undermining each other and making underhanded moves was fine! But it had to be considered. For a clan like this that rose to prominence because of a cultivator, it was very shameless to make underhanded moves when the cultivator was no longer here!
People would say, why didn't you come to make trouble when your roots were still here? Why did you have to wait for the person to die before making a move on the person's mortal relatives?
Everyone wanted to save face, so Lou Xiaoyi had the confidence to explain the matter clearly. These three people naturally knew what to do!
Those who had just succeeded in their cultivation were the most prideful. They were unwilling to bear this bad reputation.
As expected, once he explained the matter clearly, the leader, Unsurpassed Return, was stunned.
"Left? When did this happen? Which senior-apprentice brother Xuanyuan is it? "
"Gu Bei. My lifespan ran out three years ago. I delayed some time and only just informed the clan now!
Then, seeing that we are all cultivators and the path of cultivation is difficult, can you be magnanimous and let the Tian Clan off? "
Lou Xiaoyi's principle in doing things was to make things clear. He must not hide things and create misunderstandings. He must be reasonable, lay out the facts, and then humble himself. If this still did not work, he would turn hostile and kill!
But it was obvious that the three people, especially the leader, Daoist Rugui, were very reasonable. In fact, cultivators were rarely unreasonable, unless they did it on purpose!
"In that case, we came a little rashly. It's just that …"
Lou Xiaoyi knew very well what he wanted to say. "Since the Tian Clan has chosen to let go, then the spirit-stone loan from before naturally does not count. The person outside the door does not need to worry about this. Not only him, but everyone who has a spirit-stone loan will no longer be pursued by the bank! Are the three of you satisfied with my arrangement? "
Of course, this wasn't a matter of satisfaction, but a matter of face. He had boasted in front of Yellow Dog and his friends, so he had to keep his promise! This was the reason why Lou Xiaoyi had all the mortals withdraw. Sometimes, with these mortals present, cultivators wouldn't be able to relax. In this deadlock, it was easy for things to go awry, heading towards a situation that no one wanted to see happen!
But Lou Xiaoyi's words were very straightforward, so the three of them had nothing to say. They bowed and turned to leave!
Daoist Wang was left behind, a little dazed. "Senior-apprentice Brother Gu is really leaving?"
The road of cultivation was extremely cruel. The older a Foundation Establishment cultivator was, the more they understood the bitterness of this road! They had known each other for a hundred years. Now that Gu Bei had left, how much longer could he last?
