225: Protect my second uncle! Liu Dongqing: Who dares to touch me?
Utility Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples were all glanced over by Yang Yucheng, who showed no concern for them.
Only the four leaders at the front were barely worth his attention.
As stewards, they should at least be in the Spirit Emperor Realm, like Yang Yucheng, and this was already with special privileges!
Unfortunately.
The four steward figures before him, each dressed in green and holding a Spiritual Artifact, not one of them was in the Spirit Emperor Realm.
They all had a consistent Late Stage Spirit Venerable aura, surging within and without, appearing to possess abundant and stable Qi, which was certainly not comparable to those Loose Cultivators outside the Sect.
It made sense.
Those with privileges, how could they be expelled? Even if there were layoffs, they should be the last batch!
"Senior Brother Wang, are you the judge?"
Yang Yucheng's gaze was puzzled.
Prosperous Wealth pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "What judge? I'm just happy to help, compassionate, and can't bear to see my Junior Brothers suffer!"
Prosperous Wealth put on a sorrowful expression, sighing repeatedly!
Liu Dongqing rolled his eyes and explained to Yang Yucheng.
"Actually, there's no such final test within the Sect at all!"
"What?"
Yang Yucheng was a little surprised!
Could this rule be fabricated out of thin air?
Liu Dongqing continued to explain: "The Sect has its rules, the Elders have their rules, and the stewards have their rules."
"Among Disciples, there are also rules among Disciples."
"Sect rules govern the Sect, Elder rules involve power struggles, steward rules involve top-down corruption and lining their own pockets, and the rules among Disciples are only left with these petty gains."
"As long as cultivation resources can be obtained, the Elders don't care, the stewards don't mind, and the important figures won't pay attention!"
"Even a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat!"
Liu Dongqing patiently explained in great detail. If Yang Yucheng still couldn't understand, then he would truly be too foolish!
Yang Yucheng looked at everything before him and found it somewhat amusing.
"So that's how it is!"
He originally thought that the Qingyun Grotto-Heaven having some unspoken rules was already quite excessive, but he didn't expect even more excessive things to be at the top.
Is this an era of 'who can be worse'?
Yang Yucheng was truly caught between laughter and tears!
"Brother Yang, there's no need to be afraid!"
Just then, Liu Dongqing chuckled reassuringly: "Brother Yang and I have the least to fear. Behind us stands a Protector Elder! Although he is only the lowest rank among Elders, he can still hold his own!"
Liu Dongqing began to demonstrate for Yang Yucheng.
His pink and white fan snapped shut with a swish, looking infinitely flamboyant!
Liu Dongqing was dressed in pink and white, he must have changed into it at some point, with a white jade hanging from his waist, and his Face was even powdered with some white powder, which was truly incredible!
Stepping out of the line, Liu Dongqing lightly coughed.
He smiled leisurely!
"Protector Han of Qingyun Grotto-Heaven is my second uncle; I am his direct nephew."
"Who wants to challenge me? Who will challenge me?"
At this moment!
Liu Dongqing didn't even use a shred of his Qi.
But he spoke loudly.
In an instant, he repelled all four stewards who were about to challenge him!
The four stewards looked troubled, each glancing at the others.
Clearly.
Not a single person was willing to confront Liu Dongqing.
Even if they fought Liu Dongqing and won, a small steward who offended a Protector Elder would Face a deadly disaster if he still wanted to continue here!
The four stewards discussed amongst themselves.
Finally, a lean and frail-looking steward with the weakest aura stepped forward.
He took a big step, then another big step.
He came before Liu Dongqing and respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Young Master, please rest assured! Later, I will challenge an Inner Sect Disciple! I will not obstruct your sight!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Liu Dongqing smiled slightly, very pleased with the Late Stage Spirit Venerable steward before him.
He gently extended his hand, lightly patted the steward's right shoulder, and smiled faintly.
"This Young Master quite likes your attitude. If you become an Inner Sect Disciple, you can come and work by this Young Master's side. If this Young Master advances further in the future, it might even be possible to arrange some people around him."
"To be stewards under him!"
Liu Dongqing's words immediately caused the former steward before him to kowtow in allegiance.
His green robes billowed slightly as he clapped his hands together.
In broad daylight, he knelt on one knee, his Face respectful and loyal, and shouted loudly at Liu Dongqing.
"This humble one, Zhao Dahai, greets Young Master!"
Liu Dongqing didn't just speak idly; he took off the white jade from his waist and handed it to Zhao Dahai, making the other party even more at ease.
Thus.
Liu Dongqing easily passed this final test.
Zhao Dahai's heart soared with joy upon receiving the white jade, but he didn't return to the line immediately. Instead, he took out a light yellow qiankun bag from his embrace and handed it to Prosperous Wealth, who was nearby.
This was why Prosperous Wealth was here, to earn some extra money, which was always acceptable.
Although he couldn't earn the biggest share, he was very happy with this small convenience.
It was also the biggest reason why he had gone to great lengths to obtain this position!
Earning money, there's no shame in it.
"So, they're all the same!"
Yang Yucheng smiled indifferently!
Liu Dongqing returned to Yang Yucheng, winked at him, and quietly said: "Brother Yang, it's your turn next!"
In Liu Dongqing's mind, he had already demonstrated it personally. It would be simple for Yang Yucheng to follow suit, and perhaps he could also recruit a steward.
As trusted aides by their side.
As newcomers to Qingyun Grotto-Heaven, having someone familiar with the Grotto-Heaven would certainly make things much easier.
"Thank you, Brother Liu!"
Yang Yucheng cupped his hands slightly and said with a smile.
"No problem."
"We're on the same side. After entering the Sect, we must support each other and work together. Among so many people, I find you the most agreeable, Brother Yang!"
Liu Dongqing and Yang Yucheng linked arms.
Next, Yang Yucheng, dressed in white, looked at the remaining three stewards with his dark, shining eyes.
He slowly said.
"Protector Han of Qingyun Grotto-Heaven is my Master. I wonder if the stewards could give him some Face?"
It was his first time using special privileges, and Yang Yucheng truly couldn't be as arrogant as Liu Dongqing had been. He was still polite.
And Protector Han's name in Qingyun Grotto-Heaven seemed to be somewhat stronger than the Protector behind Liu Dongqing.
As Yang Yucheng's words fell!
Suddenly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive thuds.
Three people knelt on one knee. The three stewards were incredibly eager, as if the moment Yang Yucheng finished speaking, the remaining three stewards immediately rushed forward.
At a speed of two hundred and eighty miles per second, they all came to Yang Yucheng, surrounding him.
The three knelt on one knee, their eyes burning with fervor, staring at Yang Yucheng as if looking at their bright future.
