Captain of the Guard Corps? I Don't Want the Job.

Didn't you want evidence?

Bibi Dong gave the three people, led by the Snake Lance Douluo, an unfriendly look.

He then turned his attention to the guards standing in the center below.

"Tell me about the Spirit Hall's recent income and expenses."

"Yes."

The guard responded and began to give a detailed report.

This guard.

Everyone present recognized him; after all, he had been guarding the Spirit Hall's treasury for many years, and over time, they naturally became familiar with him.

It looks familiar, but...

The guard's name remains unknown.

A mere guard isn't worth Titled Douluo inquiring about, so neither of them would be in much of a hurry.

"Recently, the Spirit Hall's expenditure was 560,000 Gold Soul Coin."

The guard spoke methodically.

Most people agree with this statement.

Because this month's salary was just received not long ago, this expenditure is positive. In the past, at this time, the expenditure would also be around 500,000.

Those few who disagree.

This naturally includes the rebellious trio, including the Snake Lance.

They were all frowning at that moment.

Logically speaking...

This month's expenses will be much higher.

In Snake Lance's mind, the construction of the New City Project was definitely funded by the Spirit Hall, so the expenditure would naturally be much higher.

But now.

The payment was the same as before, which means that the Spirit Hall was not involved in the construction of the new city.

Similarly.

This means that the construction of the new city has indeed brought revenue to the Spirit Hall.

However, the exact amount of this income remains to be investigated.

Snake Lance didn't believe it; a single new city could earn over twenty million.

This is absolutely impossible!

The entire Spirit City couldn't provide that much money each year, let alone a new city that's smaller than Spirit City.

If money were really that easy to earn, the Spirit Hall would have dominated the world long ago.

Thinking about this...

His heart calmed down again, and he glanced at Bibi Dong with disdain before staring straight at the guard.

He wanted to see what kind of excuse this guard had!

Actually.

No matter what the guard said, he wouldn't believe it.

He guessed.

Bibi Dong must have revealed the truth beforehand and then rehearsed her story with the guards.

Therefore, the guards' words are not credible.

"My income for the most recent month was 26.12 million."

The guards already knew this.

But when he announced the result, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He earned over 20 million in one go.

Even after guarding the vault for many years, this was the first time he had ever seen so much money at once.

Crucially, he also personally participated in the counting of coins.

Just thinking about it now fills me with emotion.

He greatly admired this new elder who could earn so much money in such a short time!

However, he didn't know where the money came from.

After all, he only participated in counting the amount of money.

I know nothing else.

"How is it? Does this achievement qualify you for the position of commander of the Guard Corps?"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Bibi Dong turned her gaze to the Snake Lance and questioned him.

The Snake Lance gave a wicked smile, "Your Pope's Hall, words alone are not enough."

"Making over 20 million in just a few days? I've never seen such a phenomenal person before."

"If you want us to be convinced, then produce concrete evidence. Otherwise, isn't this just empty talk? If that counts, then what authority do your words hold? Don't let us lose heart!"

It's the same old story, the same old rhetoric.

But Bibi Dong was powerless to refute it.

She desperately wanted to reprimand the Snake Lance, but if she did, wouldn't she appear guilty?

Therefore, scolding is no longer an option.

The simplest way is to produce evidence.

But where is the evidence?

The money Li Mubai earned last time was partly due to some selfish motives.

She didn't register it at all.

In other words...

She couldn't produce any substantial evidence to prove that Li Mubai had really earned that much money.

If she were to go to the treasury now and count out all the excess money, it would expose the fact that she hadn't registered the money in the treasury, which would inevitably lead to another argument with those old guys in the Worship Hall.

But if she didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to produce any evidence to silence Snake Lance Spear.

I have a bit of a headache.

We couldn't find a solution for the time being.

Standing beside Bibi Dong, Hu Liena could no longer hold back and immediately defended Bibi Dong, saying, "Isn't this enough evidence? Just because you haven't seen such a person doesn't mean such a person doesn't exist!"

The reason she spoke up to help Li Mubai was...

First, she couldn't stand the Snake Lance challenging her teacher.

Secondly, she was grateful for Li Mubai's appearance, which increased her allowance several times over.

She had a very happy day exploring the city.

"Hmph, it's not your place, a junior, to speak, when adults are talking!"

"Is this how your teacher educated you?"

Snake Lance sneered, his tone mocking.

"I am the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall! I am of the same rank as the elders, why can't I say so?"

Hu Liena replied in a similarly cold voice.

"So what if we're at the same level? You're still a junior, and juniors should act like juniors!"

Taking advantage of his age and status, Snake Lance began to lecture and use his age to pressure Hu Liena.

Don't give me that.

"At most, I'm just disrespectful to elders. But what about you? What are the rules of the Spirit Hall? The Elder Hall unconditionally obeys all reasonable decrees of the Pope. This is merely appointing a captain of the Guard Corps. Yet you've been obstructing it, disrespecting the sect rules, and bullying your superiors. What crime should you be charged with?!"

Hu Liena spoke in a sharp and domineering tone, staring directly at the Snake Lance.

Despite the fact that her opponent was Titled Douluo, there was not a trace of fear or timidity in her eyes.

"You...!"

Snake Lance was speechless for a moment after being confronted.

His face looked grim.

Unexpectedly, this little girl was so sharp-tongued, and what she said was quite reasonable and well-founded.

If he continues to argue with him, he will likely be the one who suffers the loss.

Thinking of this...

The Snake Lance immediately shut its mouth.

The other elders looked at Hu Liena with approval.

Her words just now truly amazed everyone.

Li Mubai, who had been observing the situation closely, couldn't help but secretly admire it.

"This little girl, why is she suddenly so clever today? Her words are getting me all excited. And that Snake Lance, defeated expression on her face is hilarious."

Although he didn't want to be the commander of that Guard Corps, he was still somewhat annoyed by the arrogance of the Snake Lance.

"You have your share of setbacks too, huh?"

The Demon Bear watched the Snake Lance from the side and chuckled jokingly.

"Hmph. What's it to you? Haozi own business!"

The mockery of the Demon Bear.

Of course, the Snake Lance wouldn't be swallowed so easily.

He immediately retorted with a sarcastic remark.

He was indeed in the wrong when he was outmaneuvered by the young girl.

As for the Demon Bear, he wasn't afraid of it at all.

Certainly.

It's because there are so many people around now.

He knew Demon Bear's fiery temper; he might not win an argument, but he was ready to use his fists to preach.

There are many people at the conference now, so there's not much to do. A few sarcastic remarks won't hurt.

In another location, only the two of them were facing each other.

He wouldn't risk his life by making a sarcastic remark.

The Demon Bear's strength.

He was one of the top elders in the Elder Hall; putting aside everything else, at least he couldn't beat them.

"This is indeed none of my business."

"But seeing you suffer makes me happy and relieved."

Looking at the Snake Lance's predatory gaze, the Demon Bear, smug and self-satisfied, continued his mocking, begging-to-be-beaten act:

"What? You're not convinced? Come and fight me if you dare! Let's have a real man's duel. How about it?"

The Snake Lance remained silent.

He had nothing to say.

Since they've already put it this way, he can't possibly force himself to agree now.

A true man can bend and stretch, and he will not tolerate even the slightest bit of harsh words.

Then you deserve your bad luck.

"Hey~, you turn into a coward when it comes to fighting? Are you even a man?"

The Demon Bear laughed heartily.

After making a few more sarcastic remarks, seeing that the other party remained silent, he lost interest after cursing "son of a bitch" and ignored the annoying snake-skin elder.

And at this moment.

Bibi Dong, seated on the throne, was deep in thought.

What excuse can I give him to brush him off?

This reason is not easy to find.

She thought about it for so long but still couldn't figure it out.

Just when she was at her wit's end, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly rang out in the hall.

Following the gaze of others.

Li Mubai also slowly turned his head towards his back.

But see.

A figure with graying temples was walking towards the crowd.

His tiger-like eyes gleamed with a sharp light, like two bright lamps.

He had an upright posture and an extraordinary air about him.

Who else could it be but Golden Crocodile Douluo?

The atmosphere froze.

What is Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second- Worship Hall, doing here?

This time is different from last time.

The reason the people from the Worship Hall were allowed to attend the last assembly was because of the arrival of a new person.

This time, it was purely a meeting between the Elder Hall and the Pope's Hall.

Arriving at the side of the guard standing in the center, Golden Crocodile Dou stopped.

He looked around and said with a smile:

"Everyone, it's quite lively!"

His smile remained unchanged as he continued:

"I could hear your arguing even when I was outside the palace."

This is the Pope's Hall.

This isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can stay.

"You're making such a racket here, like shrewish women yelling in the street. What kind of behavior is this?"

Bibi Dong frowned. "Golden Crocodile, this is none of your business. What are you doing here? Explain yourself and leave."

The arrival of Golden Crocodile Douluo was indeed somewhat unexpected for him.

The other party acted like a master from the moment they arrived.

It was as if this Pope's Hall belonged to him; he even started to observe rules.

This shows a complete disregard for her, the Pope.

She is the true owner here.

Even if we're talking about reason, these are not things that Golden Crocodile Douluo should be talking about.

Golden Crocodile's behavior undoubtedly made her uncomfortable.

"Your Pope's Hall, I have only just arrived, yet you intend to send me away? Is this not the proper way to treat a person?"

The Jin'e Douluo looked at the treasure and sat down on Bibi Dong, his expression relaxed and casual.

There was absolutely no sense of formality typical of guests.

The Snake Lance Douluo, seeing that the pole vaulter behind him had arrived, immediately stopped being timid and jumped out to show off:

"That's right. Elder Golden Crocodile is one of the elders of the Spirit Hall. Your Pope's Hall, your actions are indeed somewhat inappropriate."

"That's right."

"That's right, that's right."

The other two Douluo echoed this sentiment.

"How dare you! I am speaking with His Pope's Hall. When did it become your place, the three of you, to interrupt?!"

Before Bibi Dong could even react.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to turn around and reprimand, his face stern and serious.

Li Mubai also shouted "Holy crap!" in his heart.

This scene truly stunned him.

Aren't these three people from the Worship Hall?

Why is it that not only does Golden Crocodile not support them, but he also scolds them? It's unbelievable!

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.

She didn't understand what the Golden Crocodile was up to either.

The other elders remained silent, watching quietly.

They won't meddle in other people's business unless it involves their interests.

Even if it involves some of their interests, as long as the interests are not significant, they will not say a word. The person in front of them recently is the second-in-command of the Worship Hall.

Who would dare to offend them easily?

Let him make a scene and cause trouble!

"If it doesn't concern me, I'll stay out of it"—this is the clever way of doing things in the Spirit Hall.

The elder watching the play clearly understood the profound principles behind this.

"Didn't you want to know about the Tenth Elder's achievements?"

"Good."

"Let me tell you something."

The Golden Crocodile's words.

This made the Snake Lance feel extremely wronged.

He was clearly defending Golden Crocodile, so why was he reprimanded instead?

The two elders who echoed his sentiments also felt wronged.

They were also somewhat bewildered and confused.

Why is this happening?

"If you can generate three years' worth of profits for the Spirit Hall, then giving you this Guard Corps would be truly fitting."

"But what tangible achievements has your Spirit Hall brought us?"

"No."

"If that's the case, how dare you contradict Elder Li about the commander of the Guard Corps?"

Golden Crocodile's words completely baffled Snake Lance Spear.

However, he immediately realized what was happening.

Just now...

Golden Crocodile Teacher, seems to be talking about three years of profit?

The Snake Lance immediately recalled.

'If you can generate three years' worth of profits for the Spirit Hall, then this Guard Corps will be truly yours.'

Snake Lance suddenly remembered this sentence.

Three years of profits!

Is this for real?!

Snake Lance Douluo's heart was filled with turmoil, and he was shocked.

He might not have believed it if someone else had said that.

This sentence.

It was said, of all people, by the Worshipper Golden Crocodile.

He had no choice but to believe it.

Golden Crocodile is a veteran of Wufen Store, so his words are naturally true, and he has no need to fabricate lies.

The other party's identity speaks for itself.

"No way? This Li Mubai can generate three years' worth of profits in such a short time? That's unbelievable!"

Snake Lance turned to look at Li Mubai, who was standing at the back, his expression filled with shock.

What does it mean to calculate the Spirit Hall's profits over three years?

That's a whopping twenty million!

Even the entire Luo Yang Empire of Heaven Dou Star Luo Empire wouldn't have that much money in a year.

How could someone like Li Mubai earn so much money?

Just because of that piece of wasteland?

Why should I?!

Bibi Dong was also somewhat puzzled at this moment.

Why would the Golden Crocodile in the Worship Hall speak up for her?

Could it be that Li Mubai has also been won over by them?

Thinking about this...

Her heart sank.

She already had very few people she could command; if Li Mubai were really poached, wouldn't she be left without anyone to rely on again?

Just as this thought arose in her mind...

The familiar voice echoed in my ears once again.

[What's wrong with this old guy? Damn it, why is he even speaking up for me?]

Are you sick in the head?!

[I don't want any achievements, I don't want to be the leader of any Guard Corps!]

I want to listen to music in the brothel...

Upon hearing this...

Bibi Dong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, couldn't help but relax.

Your true feelings don't lie.

In other words, Li Mubai has not yet been poached by the Worship Hall.

She's not a lone commander yet.

What a stroke of luck!
