[Ensemble sect story] [Unconventional senior sister] [Unhinged personality] [Giving up and coasting]
The junior sister trespassed into a forbidden area, but the Master ordered Yun Zhaozhao to take the punishment for her.
“You’re the eldest senior sister. You should put the greater good first.”
Yun Zhaozhao promptly pulled out a three-hundred-year ledger. “I can take the blame, but settle the bill first.”
To everyone’s surprise, the Heart-Questioning Stone cracked on the spot, and the Heavenly Dao announced: the Taichu Sect owed 9.87 million. If the debt wasn’t repaid on time, the entire sect would face a thunder tribulation!
From then on, the elders’ stipends were suspended, the sect leader sold off his ceremonial robes, and sword cultivators were charged per swing.
After tracing the debt to its source, Yun Zhaozhao discovered that the biggest deadbeat of all was the founding patriarch, who had ascended a thousand years ago.
She opened the ledger and smiled faintly.
“Patriarch, shall I send you the bill?”
