Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

Han Cai turned to the core elder of the Pill Hall and said, "That is indeed true. So do you want to hand me and my master over to the royal family and protect the sect?"

The fairy of the Pill Hall fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

However, a few inner sect and outer sect elders spoke up, "What the fairy said is right; this is unfair."

Han Cai surveyed the hall, taking in the tense atmosphere and the worried faces of his fellow sect members. He knew that the situation was dire and even though the sect was not on the brink of destruction. They were all worried. He needed to pacify them.

Seeing the concerned faces of people in the sect,  Han Cai tried a political approach.

"I understand your concerns," Han Cai said, his voice steady and calm. "But we must remember that we are a family, and we must stand united in the face of adversity. I will do everything in my power to protect our sect and our people, but I need your trust, cooperation, and support."

The sect members exchanged glances, and although uncertainty still lingered, they nodded in agreement.

Han Cai observed the inner sect and some outer sect elders as they continued to complain. He had been patient for long enough. Suddenly, he turned to the inner sect elders who were complaining and yelled loudly, "GET OVER HERE!."

Two inner sect elders found the space around them shrinking. Before they could understand what was happening, they were standing right in front of Han Cai. The other sect members looked on in shock, curious to see what would happen next.

Han Cai spoke calmly, "You two, tell me about the organization that approached you."

The two elders broke out in a cold sweat and replied nervously, "What are you talking about? We don't know anything."

In response, Han Cai released his full charm. For a moment, he looked like a god descended from heaven. Everyone in the hall, especially the two elders were mesmerized.

Charming cultivators three levels higher than himself was not difficult for Han Cai, so these two were peace of cake.

He continued, "A few months ago, you two tried to create trouble for my family by attempting to kidnap young women of the Han family. When Elder Dongmei confronted you, both of you feigned ignorance and said you were not aware of your family's actions. What was the true reason you ordered your family to create problems for my family?"

Both elders, still under the spell of Han Cai's charm, answered together, "To lure you out of the sect."

Han Cai turned to one of the two elders and said, "You, tell me in detail what the reason was. Give me all the details."

The first inner sect elder answered, "We were asked to lure you out of the sect somehow. Since you don't interact with anyone much, we had no choice but to use your family. We planned to have some members of our family harass your family's women. We hoped that when you heard the news, you would go to find them. Those members were moved to a forest outside the Cloud Mountain City, where an ambush was waiting for you. But we miscalculated; you never left the sect."

Han Cai sighed, "This bunch, they always underestimate me everywhere."

He then turned to the second elder and asked, "Who ordered you to do such a thing, and why?"

The second elder replied, "It was the orders of the sect master of the Starfall Sect. Since you joined, there have been a lot of anomalies in the sect that did not exist before – be it medium-sized mines or strong elite beasts. For a thousand years, the Sky Soaring Sect was quiet and slowly degrading, but after the Sky Soaring Sect Master took you in as his talented disciple, the sect experienced one fortuitous encounter after another. They were not sure you were the cause, but they decided to capture you since you were the most important disciple of the sect. They thought they would get all the answers from you."

Han Cai unintentionally glanced at the Cui family patriarch. The patriarch almost blushed, as their members also had a similar plan in the past to find details about the spirit stone mine of the Sky Soaring Sect.

Shaking his head, Han Cai thought, 'Couldn't these people come up with something original?'

He reduced his charm back to normal and looked at the inner sect discipline hall elder. The elder and a few other discipline hall members moved forward, came to the center, and took the two elders away with them.

After the culprits were taken away.

Han Cai bowed again. This time he gave the bow to everyone in the sect.

Han Cai addressed the remaining sect members, "When you grow and experience fortuitous encounters, when you become strong, no matter how much you hide, if you want to live a good life, someone will notice sooner or later. They will want your fortuitous encounters and everything you own. I will be honest with you, everything with royals was started by me because it benefits me. I apologize to everyone who has suffered because of this problem that I created. When I joined the sect, my goal was to become an Immortal. Today I am one of the strongest disciples in the sect. But I am still not an Immortal. I have never expected the world to be fair to me, so I apologize to you all, but I am going to be unfair to you. This war with the royals is good for my cultivation, and it was inevitable."

He continued, "What we did in the capital just sped things up. It was going to happen sooner or later."

He fell silent for a while, and an eerie silence filled the hall. Everyone was waiting for Han Cai to speak again.

After some thought, Han Cai broke the silence saying, " I know many of you are afraid and worried, and many have also lost loved ones, which should not have happened. But the sect had already informed everyone, and everyone was given time to move their families near the sect or out of the kingdom. The sect was even ready to pay for it, but some of you did not take the sect's advice seriously, so it's not on me. Don't try to put that guilt on me because it won't work."
