Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

After that, Ye Chen became more and more self-indulgent and provoked disputes among the outer disciples many times. In this process, Zhao Meir's shadow was more or less there.

This made Han Biyun alert.

Her intuition told her that Zhao Meir's origin was not right, and it was very likely that someone was behind it. However, Zhao Meir was protected by Ye Chen, which made it difficult for her to find a way to directly expel Zhao Meir from Taiwei Sect, and she could only observe secretly.

Han Biyun also tried to report Zhao Meir's special situation to Qingyangzi. Qingyangzi did think about expelling Zhao Meir from Taiwei Sect, but then Ye Chen threatened to resign from the sect, forcing Qingyangzi to keep Zhao Meir in Taiwei Sect.

Since it has been confirmed that Yunjian Pavilion is interested in Feng Shao instead of Taiwei Sect, Taiwei Sect has lost the possibility of obtaining external aid. Today's Taiwei Sect urgently needs a lot of funds for development, and in the past, it was Feng Shao and other inner disciples who mainly provided funds for the sect. Now that the inner disciples have basically left, the remaining outer disciples are equivalent to the miscellaneous staff hired by the sect. Not only can they not provide income for the sect, but they will also consume the sect's funds.

Now Taiwei Sect still has tens of thousands of spirit stones left, which are the accumulation left by Feng Shao when he was there. Judging from the current situation, Taiwei Sect will not be able to make money in a short period of time, and the remaining funds will not last for too long. Therefore, Ye Chen, who is particularly rich at this time, has become a target that Qingyangzi has to win over.

This made Qingyangzi feel aggrieved again, and he began to miss Feng Shao for the first time.

Looking back on the past, Feng Shao was almost selfless in his dedication to the sect. How could he take credit for providing a large amount of funds?

Of course, Qingyangzi did not think of another way.

The first way he thought of was to sell elixirs and weapons. After possessing the Six Yang Spiritual Fire, the overall quality of Taiwei Sect's elixirs and weapons has improved a lot, and is much better than the elixirs and weapons sold outside. However, if he wanted to earn income by selling pills and weapons, he had to discuss it with the two elders Zhu Yu and Song Lian first.

Qing Yangzi knew that he was not favored by the two elders, but at this time he could only lower his face to please the two elders. After Qing Yangzi discussed it in a good tone, Zhu Yu and Song Lian finally agreed to supply Qing Yangzi with an additional twenty bottles of pills and ten weapons each month. After deducting the cost of these things, they could earn about two to three thousand spirit stones. But considering the monthly salary of ten spirit stones for each of the three hundred outer disciples, these incomes were still insufficient to cover the expenses.

And this was when the inner disciples were not there. You know, the monthly salary of the inner disciples was fifty spirit stones! Thirty-six inner disciples together would need a total of one thousand eight hundred spirit stones!

Qing Yangzi discovered for the first time that it actually cost so much money to maintain the operation of a sect.

In addition, the way of making money by selling pills and weapons could not be sustained for a long time. Because Zhu Yu and Song Lian are guests, not disciples of Taiwei Sect. They are paid, and the salary is not low. It is obviously neither reliable nor practical to expect them to support the entire sect. If they are squeezed too hard, they can just quit. You know, no matter where you are, alchemists and casters are very popular.

Through Han Biyun, Qingyangzi learned that when Feng Shao was still in the sect, Taiwei Sect spent about 8,000 to 10,000 spirit stones every month. And Feng Shao made money in three ways.

First, offering. There are also several wealthy families near Taiwei Mountain, and these families generally need the protection of monks. So Feng Shao promised to provide them with protection, and these families offered spirit stones to Taiwei Sect. This income is about 2,000 per month.

Second, the sale of natural treasures. And the acquisition of natural treasures mainly depends on Feng Shao taking people out to kill monsters. In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Feng Shao allowed each disciple who participated in the action to keep 50% of the total income, and the other 50% was handed over to the sect. At the end of each month, Feng Shao would count the natural treasures he had collected and sell the unused ones to Linglong Pavilion. This income is not fixed, with a minimum of two to three thousand per month and a maximum of tens of thousands.

Third, go to nearby big cities to take tasks. Generally speaking, the larger the city, the more disputes there are; the more disputes there are, the more tasks there are. Sometimes, some big cities will issue some well-paid tasks, and Feng Shao will take people to undertake the tasks as appropriate. Disciples can keep 70% of the income obtained, and the other 30% will be handed over to the sect. This part of the income is about 3,000 to 8,000 per month.

In other words, for a long time, Taiwei Sect has not had a stable income channel except for the offerings of the surrounding big families, and this has been a headache for Feng Shao. For this reason, Feng Shao has contacted some big families many times, trying to take over a large mineral vein to obtain a stable income channel. But unfortunately, before Feng Shao could finish this matter, he left the sect.

As for the income from selling pills and weapons, Feng Shao also thought about it, but because the sect did not have high-quality spiritual fire at that time, it was difficult for the refined pills and cast weapons to have a market.

It was not until this time that Qing Yangzi discovered that even the only income of Taiwei Sect now was actually maintained by relying on the Six Yang Spiritual Fire left by Feng Shao.

In theory, Taiwei Sect should have been able to continue collecting tributes from the surrounding big families. But now there is another problem, that is, while these big families are protected, they also send their most outstanding disciples to the inner sect of Taiwei Sect. Now that most of the inner disciples have left, these big families no longer trust Taiwei Sect as much as before and refuse to continue paying tributes.

While explaining the situation to Qingyangzi, Han Biyun also said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Feng has established a points system to mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples. According to the difficulty of the action and the contribution during the action, a certain number of points are obtained. These points can be exchanged for certain resources in the sect, such as elixirs, natural materials and treasures, etc. Brother Feng has the highest points among all the brothers, but he has never used them once."

In other words, Feng Shao gave up a large amount of rewards for nothing. And the fundamental reason why he gave up is needless to say.

After hearing this, Qingyangzi couldn't help but feel upset and waved his hand to dismiss Han Biyun.

You don't know how expensive oil and rice are until you run the family. In the past, Qingyangzi only knew how to be the head of the sect, and did not pay attention to the affairs of the sect. As a result, he found that managing the sect was not an honor at all, but a trouble. Only after sitting in that management position did he find that the first thing he had to consider was not how much authority he had, but how to maintain the normal operation of the entire sect.

What's more terrible is that when Qingyangzi was thinking hard about making money, another big thing happened in the sect.

Out of fear and vigilance against Zhao Meir, Han Biyun strictly restricted her activities in Taiwei Sect. So Zhao Meir went to Ye Chen and cried.

But she was very smart and did not complain directly, but advised Ye Chen to understand Han Biyun's difficulties. As for herself, she said:

"I am just an orphan who no one loves, it doesn't matter what happens."

Zhao Meir's "bearing humiliation" aroused Ye Chen's pity, and then aroused anger towards Han Biyun. Ye Chen had a big quarrel with Han Biyun and asked Han Biyun not to target Zhao Meir anymore. Han Biyun, in turn, rebuked Ye Chen for being so disrespectful to his senior sister and master for a woman of unknown origin, which was simply forgetting his origin.

After a quarrel, the two parted unhappily.

But what no one expected was that Han Biyun was actually knocked unconscious by several outer disciples in her residence that night.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Qingying, the second disciple of the third branch, happened to find Han Biyun and caught these people's actions, I'm afraid Han Biyun would have lost his innocence that night.

These outer disciples who had bad intentions towards Han Biyun were all people who usually showed concern for Zhao Meir, and their admiration for Zhao Meir was obvious to everyone. And the purpose of their doing so was obvious.

But surprisingly, in front of Qing Yangzi, they all said in unison that they were simply dissatisfied with Han Biyun and had nothing to do with Zhao Meir!

After a confrontation, these outer disciples were all abolished and expelled from Taiwei Sect.

As for Zhao Meir, she looked pitiful from beginning to end, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

And Ye Chen's performance was even more chilling.

Logically, Han Biyun was Ye Chen's senior sister. When encountering such a thing, Ye Chen, as a junior brother, should stand on the side of his senior sister. But not only did he not say a word for Han Biyun, but he accused Han Biyun of bullying in the sect, so that she was almost plotted against by the outer disciples.

After Du Yuanxi knew about this, he was furious and scolded Ye Chen severely, and ordered him to send Zhao Meir out of Taiwei Mountain immediately.

Ye Chen would not agree. Not only did he not agree, but he also moved out of the Baofeng Lake where the three branches were located that night and ran to the back mountain of Taiwei Mountain to live separately. And Zhao Meir also moved to the back mountain with Ye Chen.

As for what happened between the two after they lived together, no one else knew.

Du Yuanxi, Han Biyun and Li Qingying from the third branch were also completely disappointed with Ye Chen. Their only hope now was that Ye Chen would not do anything weird again, otherwise they would really be ashamed of the ancestors of Taiwei Sect.

In this special atmosphere, the inner disciple selection competition that the outer disciples had been looking forward to for a long time finally began.
