Aren't You Being a Little Too Disrespectful to Me, Your Sect Master?

After the Hu Lineage's wedding banquet ended, Chu Xinghe rushed back to the Vast Heaven Sect overnight...

When the Hu Lineage offered to let him stay without a second thought, Chu Xinghe thought, "I can't stay here a single bit!"

What? You want me to stay in the Hu Lineage so you can whip my corpse?

Don't even think about it!

What the hell? You guys think I, Chu Xinghe, am completely out of control this round?

Absolutely wrong!

Although I, Chu Xinghe, almost lost everything at the Hu Lineage's place, in terms of overall strategy this time, I, Chu Xinghe, not only didn't lose, I won big!

Although I, Chu Xinghe, did not manage to deplete the sect's resources during my visit to the Hu Lineage, I was still able to cause the sect to suffer a huge loss due to a mere disagreement with Bright Gold Divine Fire.

But as the saying goes, earning money first doesn't mean you've earned it; winning later is what truly counts as winning!

I admit defeat in the battle against the Hu Lineage, but that doesn't mean I'll lose the same way later on...

The overall concept behind this dowry delivery is perfectly sound.

My delivery of the dowry to Junior Brother Ben's sister is just the beginning. As everyone knows, the Vast Heaven Sect has countless disciples.

Many disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect come from prestigious families.

But that doesn't mean all disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect come from prestigious families. Among the many disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect, let's not even talk about others; just take me, Chu Xinghe, for example—I was born in Kaoshan Village...

They came from a poor and impoverished background.

Throughout the entire Vast Heaven Sect, there are just as many disciples from humble backgrounds.

These disciples from humble backgrounds also have parents and families. Many of them bear the glorious halo of being disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect, but their family circumstances have not improved.

Today, Hu Wenhai's sister is getting married, and they can't even afford a decent dowry... So how many other disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect are in similar situations?

So Chu Xinghe found the Grand Elder overnight, and the Grand Elder, who was dragged out of bed by Xinghe, looked panicked.

"Xinghe... what time is it... isn't it a bit too early for him to learn the art of poison identification..."

"Elder... it's not a matter of identifying poisons..."

Seeing the anxious Elder, Chu Xinghe quickly explained his considerations to him.

After listening to Xinghe's thoughts, the Grand Elder also fell into deep thought.

Because what Xinghe said makes sense; Vast Heaven Sect has countless disciples, and there are also countless disciples from humble backgrounds.

It is true that the sect treats all disciples equally, but from a certain perspective, the sect still lacks concern for the families of these disciples from humble backgrounds.

Just last month, a disciple of the Azure Wood Palace had to ask Elder Yu to temporarily borrow some resources from the treasury to raise enough money for his brother's wedding.

The path of cultivation is arduous... Once a disciple joins the Vast Heaven Sect, they cannot easily leave the Vast Heaven Sect...

Aside from being able to exchange letters with their families, they had almost no way to go home to visit relatives; only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation were eligible to do so.

Those born into prestigious families are better off, since they already have substantial family wealth.

But what about those students from poor families?

Just as Xinghe said, they were basking in the glory of being disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect, but their families lived in abject poverty.

Many students from impoverished families can only try to change their family's situation after they have worked hard to cultivate themselves and reached a certain level.

However, the path of cultivation is not only arduous but also very long. How many families of disciples from impoverished backgrounds will not live to see their children return in glory?

Therefore, Chu Xinghe's idea was very simple: Vast Heaven Sect should take better care of the families of its disciples. As long as a disciple joins Vast Heaven Sect, we will give the families of these disciples from poor families a monthly allowance sufficient for their stable lives. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?

In this way, the families of students from poor families can lead relatively stable lives. Without the worries of supporting their families, wouldn't these students be able to focus more on their cultivation?

We not only provide subsidies, but also give an extra subsidy for major events such as weddings and funerals in the families of our disciples, so that the families of our disciples from poor families can have a grand and dignified wedding and funeral.

Chu Xinghe said that after joining my Vast Heaven Sect, the disciples not only cultivate but also contribute to the sect's development. In fact, every year some disciples are injured or even die in battle for the sect.

They have no regrets, while my Vast Heaven Sect is known for its unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. My disciples are dedicating themselves to the sect; can't my Vast Heaven Sect consider their families a little more?

Hearing what Xinghe said, the Grand Elder fell into deep thought.

It must be said that Xinghe's words were very bold; this was something that no sect or force in history had ever dared to do.

However, Xinghe's words also touched the heart of the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder also came from humble beginnings. He entered the Vast Heaven Sect with his exceptional talent and became a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect. That year, the Grand Elder was still very young. When he left home, he made a promise to his parents and relatives.

When I return in the future, I will not let my parents and relatives suffer again, and I will make sure they enjoy wealth and honor!

The Grand Elder diligently cultivated his skills, gradually rising to higher levels. However, when he finally returned home in glory, his parents had already passed away due to old age... and his relatives had also succumbed to various illnesses...

The elder knelt before the graves of his parents and relatives, weeping bitterly for an unknown period of time, repeatedly saying, "I'm so sorry I'm so late... I didn't let you enjoy a single day of wealth and luxury before leaving this world..."

Now, even though the Grand Elder wields immense power and can decide the life and death of millions with a single word, his parents and relatives are a past he can no longer look back on.

"Elder, many sects say that cultivation requires severing emotions and desires, forgetting the past, and only by focusing on Xiangqian and forgetting the constraints of family can one reach higher levels. But Xinghe doesn't think so..."

"If the ultimate goal of cultivation is to be ruthless and heartless, to forget even the suffering of one's family, then what is that person cultivating? Is it martial arts? Or rather, is that still being human? How can someone who is ruthless and heartless towards their family be loyal to their sect?"

"Xinghe believes that when a disciple from a humble background joins our Vast Heaven Sect, what our Vast Heaven Sect should sever for them is not their ties with their families, but rather their worries about supporting them. We should ensure that the families of these disciples live a stable life, so that the disciples themselves have no worries. As long as they are disciples of our Vast Heaven Sect, our Vast Heaven Sect will provide financial and logistical support to help care for their families. If a disciple of our Vast Heaven Sect dies in battle for the sect one day, our Vast Heaven Sect will support their family for generations to come, after all, their children shed blood for the Vast Heaven Sect!"

Quiet... The room was unusually quiet at this moment.

Looking at the Xinghe before him and listening to what Xinghe said, the Grand Elder was filled with emotion.

Xinghe is a prodigy... Looking across the world, Xinghe can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist. Many outsiders say that Chu Xinghe is becoming more and more powerful, and wonder if he will become more and more arrogant.

But at this moment, the Grand Elder knew that the Xinghe had never stopped Xiangqian, but it had never forgotten to look back at those who had passed through its past.

Senior Brother Xinghe is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness... The Grand Elder has heard his disciples mention this phrase countless times.

The Grand Elder had heard countless slanderous remarks from outsiders claiming that Chu Xinghe was nothing but a hypocrite.

But at this moment, the Grand Elder understood that no matter how high Xinghe reached, he was still himself... His benevolence and kindness had never changed!

This time, the Grand Elder was right. It was one thing to deplete the sect's resources, but when Chu Xinghe heard An Lan mention the Hu Lineage, he had already thought of today.

Don't be fooled by those bastards in the sect who are always backstabbing me Chu Xinghe... they are still my fellow disciples!

Even if the Hu Lineage is in dire straits, they still must have some wealth...

But how many disciples in our Vast Heaven Sect are far inferior to the Hu Lineage?

What should they do if their family members encounter problems?

Solving Junior Brother Ben's problem was just the beginning; what Chu Xinghe wanted was to ensure that all his fellow disciples had no more worries!

What the heck?

You say my main purpose, Chu Xinghe, is to weaken the sect!

Then I, Chu Xinghe, am truly wronged in this match!

In fact, Chu Xinghe had thought about this matter when Wan Lin's Lineage encountered problems. However, at that time, the top leader of our Vast Heaven Sect had not yet become rich and crazy. If we really did this, the sect would not be able to withstand it.

The second problem is that if you're purely trying to benefit the sect's disciples and gain advantages... then the Misfortune Compass will assume it's helping the sect, and you can't even imagine how terrible the backlash from the Misfortune Compass will be...

What if, due to a single disagreement, misfortune strikes back and the family members of a sect disciple suffer accidents one after another?

But this time, Chu Xinghe said, "I've finally found the right opportunity."

Our Vast Heaven Sect is now incredibly wealthy; we don't need these few jujube trees at all... Secondly, given the Hu Lineage's situation, I, Chu Xinghe, am definitely not helping the sect's disciples. My main goal is to weaken the sect, so that the Misfortune Compass won't have the nerve to retaliate, right?

The Grand Elder didn't say much, but instead ordered Shen Chun to summon the heads of all the palaces overnight.

The heads of each palace, along with Xinghe, went to the Haotian Palace and eventually arrived at the carving room where the sect leader was located.

It has to be said, when it comes to diligence... the sect leader is truly the most diligent. It's already past midnight, and the sect leader is still carving in the carving room...

The sect leader knew that something important must have happened when the Grand Elder brought everyone to his carving room for a meeting without warning. So he said, "You all speak first, I want to hear what it is."

"Sect Master... I may listen, but could you at least put on some clothes?"

"Cough cough... Mistake... Mistake..."

The sect leader quickly put on a robe, and everyone took their seats in the sect leader's carving room.

Without any preamble, the Grand Elder directly stated Xinghe's proposal for the day to everyone.

As the Grand Elder had expected, after hearing his words, everyone present, including the Sect Master, fell silent.

But the Grand Elder knew that everyone was silent not because Xinghe's proposal would consume a lot of sect resources, but because everyone was shocked by Xinghe's idea.

Throughout history, perhaps no sect has ever been able to achieve such a feat, and no one has ever dared to do what the Xinghe has done, or act in accordance with what the Xinghe has done.

"The child wishes to care for his parents, but they are no longer there. Among us old folks, I remember Old Yu and a few of you came from prestigious families, so you didn't have this worry. But there are quite a few of us, like me Old He, who came from humble backgrounds. You've truly experienced the meaning of this saying, haven't you?"

Elder He spoke with a hint of bitterness on his face.

Everyone sees the strong standing at the peak, but who knows what they have gone through?

Therefore Elder He was the first to express his support for Xinghe's idea. Elder He said that our Vast Heaven Sect did not have this strength before, but now that our Vast Heaven Sect has this ability, we should do more for our disciples!

"Although I, Old Yu, come from a prestigious family, how could I not know the hardships my disciple is going through? I support him..."

I also support it...

"Support..."

Soon, all the chief elders approved it!

Just as the sect leader was about to say that he also supported it, the Grand Elder had already led everyone out of the carving room.

Sect Gu Mingchao: "???"

Um... aren't you guys being a little too disrespectful to me, the sect leader?

I didn't say to Watch Quietly as Things Change!

I support it!
