Elder Ji walks into the outer sect hall with a red face.

Elder Zhou looked at elder Ji and spoke, "Old Ji, what brings you to the outer sect hall this early morning."

Elder Ji was fuming.

He tried to calm himself and Sat down near elder Zhou and Spoke, "I know you took a disciple from my faction. Old Zhou, we have been friends for a very long time. If you take a disciple from my faction without asking me, how will it look in the eyes of other disciples and elders."

Elder Zhou creased his brows and feigned innocence. "What are you talking about? Old ji. I have so many disciples in my faction, and why would I try to steal a disciple from your faction?"

Elder Ji was furious when he saw this old bastard acting all innocent.

Elder Ji spoke loudly, trying to shame elder Zhou, "Don't act ignorant I know you stole my faction's talented disciple Han Cai when he came to register here so he could take an outer sect mission."

When a foundation establishment cultivator speaks loudly, his voice can be heard far and wide. The disciples who were visiting the outer sect hall or working in the hall froze, Hearing the loud voice and wondering what was happening.

An angry outer sect elder yelled in the outer sect hall, that was not a good thing. Elders in the outer sect always presented themselves as a gentle and kind elder. What did elder Zhou do to irk him so much?

Seeing elder Ji yelling at him in front of all the disciples and trying to shame him so openly. Elder Zhou lost his cool too. It was one thing to come and talk it out privately, and elder Zhou knew he was not in right as he blatantly stole a disciple from another faction. But trying to shame him in public like that, He could not accept it.

Elder Zhou became furious. He yelled back at elder Ji, "What are you talking about? From the beginning, Han Cai has been a disciple of my Zhou faction. You can check his registration in outer sect books, and he registered in my faction from the moment he started cultivation."

Elder Ji was so angry that He felt like he might vomit blood. He thought If he shamed elder Zhou loudly, elder Zhou would back down for fear of losing face. But it seems that Han Cai is more talented than he expected, so old Zhou does not mind losing face.

Elder Ji gave up all pretenses, stood up, and growled loudly, "Old Zhou, don't push me. You think No one knows that he stayed in my faction's quarters for one and half years. Do you think all the outer sect disciples are blind? My faction took care of him for one and a half years. We Guided him in his cultivation and techniques. We gave him food and shelter, and You stole him so blatantly. Have you no Shame."

Hearing that, now it was elder Zhou who wanted to Vomit blood. He had asked for all the details from Han Cai, Including if elder Ji ever gave him any guidance in cultivation. Han Cai informed him he had yet to meet elder Ji. Elder Zhou knew how things worked in elder Ji's faction; unless a disciple paid spirit stones, Elder Ji wouldn't even look at them. To speak like he guided Han Cai in his cultivation, elder Ji had no shame.

Elder Zhou stood up and growled, "You bastard, how dare you talk about shame with me. That kid came from a low-income family, and his father had to sell his family heirloom to collect spirit stones for his cultivation. Because abodes in my faction did not have any heating and seeing the kid is young. I did not want him to suffer in the cold. I sent him to the opposite mountain, so he could live in the warmth and cultivate peacefully. But you sent him to the cold corner quarter and even snatched all his sixty spirit stones."

All the elders took bribes when they accepted disciples in their faction, and that is how the economy in the outer sect worked. But by calling the bribe money a robbery, elder Zhou had touched on a taboo topic. Elder Ji indeed had taken a bribe, but he did not rob Han Cai. He was just a corrupted elder, but so were many other elders in the outer sect. How were they supposed to support their faction without spirit stones?
