Chen Xiaoyi spent three years managing the junk in the Xianmen Sect's You-Character Warehouse. Discarded pills, broken swords, condemned beast-pen parts: he handled basket after basket of what others called trash, keeping accounts more meticulously than anyone.
That was until Steward Zhou the Fat kicked open the warehouse doors, intent on clearing it out and taking his position.
Zhou the Fat had no idea that beneath a basket of pills marked "total loss" lay something more valuable than spirit stones. Nor did he know that the ledgers in the You-Character Warehouse recorded every shady transaction from the past three years in meticulous detail.
Chen Xiaoyi never wanted to cultivate immortality or make a name for himself. But if anyone tried to touch his warehouse, he would open the ledgers and go through the accounts, one by one, for everyone to see.
"My master is an honest man," he said. "I'm not."
