In the meeting hall.
A few elders were drinking tea and taking a break.
When he saw Sister Zha coming in, he immediately stood up and lined up on both sides respectfully, not daring to make any mistakes.
Sister Zha ignored them and frowned as she watched Li Baitian dragging Xu Kun.
"Elder Li, why did you bring Elder Xu here?"
"What I'm going to say next is confidential."
Li Baitian said: "This person's existence is also a secret."
"Elder Xu is the only weapon refiner in the academy and has been teaching in the academy for many years. However, he is only a guest elder and has not become a full member for a long time."
"I think this is the academy's distrust of him. This time he snatched the mission from me and was eager to become a regular official. He obviously had an agenda. I seriously suspect that this guy is a spy planted by a certain force in the academy, because he has been unable to contact the core of the academy. , so I’m anxious.”
"Catch him and interrogate him. I believe you will get something. As for the reward, Sister Zha can just give me a hundred or eighty thousand."
Li Baitian threw the unconscious Xu Kun to Sister Zha's feet and chuckled.
He just saw Xu Kun's eyelids moving. He was obviously awake and still pretending.
Sister Zha saw through everything and said with a meaningful smile: "I knew that Elder Li would label Elder Xu as a spy, so I hurried to the academic downstairs. I didn't expect that he would not be able to escape the fate of a spy."
"There are only two of us here. There are no outsiders. You don't have to make excuses. This man is not a spy. The academy has no reason to arrest him for interrogation. If Elder Li wants a reward, he must give me a legitimate reason."
Li Baitian's eyes narrowed: "When we were refining weapons just now, I heard the juniors talking about how the academy's weapon refining business was monopolized by Master Xu Kun and his disciples. Even if the master of a peak wanted to refine magic weapons, he had to treat them well. Begging for words."
"That's true, but so what. Zhengyi Academy is a country of etiquette, and our attitude toward talents is very respectful, just like I treat you right now."
Hearing Li Baitian's words, Sister Zha's smile became even weirder. There was faint praise and encouragement in her eyes, hoping that the other party would take over the conversation and continue.
"The entire academy's magic weapon refining is monopolized by just two people. It will definitely generate huge profits and profits, right?"
Li Baitian said calmly: "If there is a py transaction here, a lot of corrupt materials will definitely be found once we get to the bottom of it. If they are all confiscated, wouldn't it be a huge profit for the academy?"
"What if it's not found?"
Sister Zha continued to ask: "Even if there is money to be made, no one would be stupid enough to leave it at home, right?"
Li Baitian said: "Wealth will not disappear, it will only be transferred. As long as you are willing to check, no one is clean."
Sister Zha: "So today it was Elder Li who reported Elder Xu for taking advantage of his position and using his power for personal gain, right?"
"That's right, I, Li Baitian, report with my real name. If Xu Kun has no problem, I will take off his head and play it as a ball for him!"
Li Baitian held his head high and his face full of righteousness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Kun, who was pretending to be asleep on the ground, couldn't bear it anymore. He got up and hugged Sister Zha's thigh and wailed: "Sister Zha, he slandered me, he slandered me!"
"I, Xu Kun, have been loyal to the academy all these years, and I have no second thoughts. Sister Zha, you can't check me even for the sake of the master!"
Sister Zha leaned over and said with a gentle smile: "Elder Xu, you are the backbone and core figure of my academy. You have contributed to the academy. How could the academy abandon you?"
"Don't worry, it's just a formality. Once we find out everything, everything will be fine. This is also an explanation to Elder Li."
Xu Kun's eyes were horrified: "No, sister scumbag, this Li Baitian just wanted to kill me. He must be slandering me. You can't listen to him!"
Sister Zha's face was full of embarrassment, her eyes hesitant: "Oh, but Elder Li is here for the bounty. After checking it out, you are fine, Elder Li will not find trouble, and the academy does not have to pay the bounty of 100,000 spiritual stones. It’s good for everyone, but if someone reports to the academy but no action is taken, wouldn’t the bounty system be in vain?”
"Isn't it just a bounty? I'll give it, one hundred thousand spirit stones, right? I'll give it to you now. How about just turning the story over today?"
When Xu Kun heard this, he immediately looked at Li Baitian and said, his eyes full of pleading. If he really wanted to investigate, he would be doomed.
Even he himself doesn't know how much he has been greedy over the years.
Li Baitian touched his chin: "One hundred thousand medium-grade spiritual stones is not a small amount. Can Elder Xu really produce it?"
"It's only a hundred thousand, it's not worth mentioning. I can give it to you right now. How about asking Elder Li to show your respect and come to apologize in person someday?"
Xu Kun took off the space ring on his finger and threw it to Li Baitian.
Li Baitian glanced around and saw that the ring was filled with supplies. Although there were only tens of thousands of spiritual stones, the total value of all resources was probably more than 100,000.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you, sister scumbag, Elder Li won't report it anymore, let's just pretend it didn't happen today."
Seeing Li Baitian put away the space ring, Xu Kun's face showed joy.
He thought that everything was still the same as before. As long as sufficient resources were provided to make both sides comfortable, he would turn a blind eye to this matter. After all, he was the only weapon refiner in the academy, and the academy would give him enough resources. preferential treatment.
Li Baitian chuckled and said: "Elder Xu, I seem to know why you have always been just a guest elder. You are too stupid. Your IQ is not enough to become a full-time elder."
Sister Zha sternly scolded: "Xu Kun, how much salary do you have per year? Where do you get so many resources?"
"There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life. One is those who steal information from the academy, and the other is those who steal money from the academy. Come on, drag him down and put him in a water cell. I want to interrogate him personally to see what's going on in this guy's belly. How much oil and water have been gained!”
Upon hearing this, the elders on the left and right immediately stepped forward, sealed Xu Kun's Dantian, and dragged him down like a dog to death.
Xu Kun's face was ashen. When he saw the smile on Li Baitian's lips, he finally understood that he was no longer the only weapon refiner in the academy. The academy no longer needed him and would no longer condone his behavior. It's time to clean up the door.
As for Li Baitian's weapon refining skills, not only him, but even his master would suffer.
"This is a game, sister scumbag, Li Baitian, you two deliberately tricked me!"
"My master will not let you go, and the connections I have accumulated over the years will not let you go!"
"You must die a good death!"
Xu Kun roared outside the meeting hall, his voice hoarse.
Li Baitian didn't know what would happen to him, but there was no doubt that Xu Kun would be miserable and die of torture.
Seeing the smile on Sister Zha's face, he felt cold in his heart. This femme fatale used his hands to eradicate dissidents. Once Xu Kun was no longer needed, she would ruthlessly abandon her. She might not treat him like this in the future.
Your identity as a spy must not be discovered!
