Chapter 539: You Just Say Whether It Counts

~8 min read 1,562 words

This... just died?

Seeing Hearing Hearing Li Ang "stare" the Sect Master of the Money-Weighing Sect to death with just one glance, and looking at them with fierce murderous intent, the remaining people in the room couldn't help but tremble in unison.

The old man of the Maseini family reacted first, directly kneeling down with a thud, just happening to avoid the invisible hand pinching toward his head.

"Spare my life! I'm not familiar with her!"

After he set a good example, the trio of the Laien family followed suit, kneeling down one after another with thuds, and the sound of begging for mercy rose and fell.

"I don't know her either!"

"We really don't know what she did!"

"Duke! I am the person beside the Old Duke!"

It must be said that those who can climb to high positions in such a large family basically have no slow reactions. The three old men of the Laien family knelt down one faster than the other. And after they took the initiative to lower their height, that iconic small golden hair finally squeezed into Hearing Hearing Li Ang's eyes.

Calling me Duke, and also having a head of golden hair...

Looking at the three rather sparse bald heads in front of him, and recognizing that one of them was the butler beside the Old Duke, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly startled, then subconsciously frowned tightly.

"You are actually from the Money-Weighing Sect?"

"No, no!"

Afraid that the trio of the Laien family would sell them out, the old man of the Rose family rushed to speak first:

"We are not from the Money-Weighing Sect! We just begged her to help find someone! Duke! I am a Count of the Rose family! Duke! I have relatives by marriage with your family!"

"Right, right, we have no relationship with the Money-Weighing Sect."

"Yes, yes, we are all from the Laien family."

"I am the family head newly chosen by the Laien family, he is the last remaining clan elder, we are all your people!"

"..."

Damn, should have known not to ask.

Looking at these three small... old golden hairs in front of him, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue slightly in annoyance.

These three Laien golden hairs could escape the Laien Blood Night without being killed directly by him with the help of 【Heart of Wild Ambition】, so of course they are not the type who are extremely evil.

It's just that according to the excellent average moral standard of the Laien family, these three, although not bad to the point of pus, are not half-related to good people either. At most, they can be considered bastards who vaguely reveal a bit of human flavor.

Although he really wanted to pretend he hadn't asked and just send these few away, considering that he was still carrying the suspicion of creating the Laien Blood Night, plus the repeated requirements of the director before departure, Hearing Hearing Li Ang finally gave up this rather tempting plan and asked with an unkind expression:

"So... is this still the Rose Manor? Was it that Sect Master of the Money-Weighing Sect who moved me back?"

"Yes, yes, it was all done by her!"

Seeing that Hearing Hearing Li Ang seemed to have given up the plan to make a move, the few old men in the room couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, then desperately threw the black pot onto the headless corpse on the ground.

"You left a note and left. We just wanted to find you back. It was all her who insisted on doing this!"

"Right, right, she wanted to cheat you into the Money-Weighing Sect, and then find that Cat Spirit to get you over!"

"She must be coveting our... coveting the property of the Laien family under your name!"

"..."

From the somewhat chaotic descriptions of the few old men, after understanding the general process, Hearing Hearing Li Ang said somewhat astonished:

"So, after being forcibly moved by her, I have the mark of the Money-Weighing Sect on me, and I am considered a member of the Money-Weighing Sect?"

"This... we don't know either, but she did say so..."

"..."

Outrageous... Although I mouth-killed the Holy Spirit of the Money-Weighing Sect and just killed a high-level Sect Master, now I have directly obtained the identity of a member of the Money-Weighing Sect... Shaking his head somewhat speechlessly, Hearing Hearing Li Ang opened the badge panel and looked at the Holy Spirit badge that was flashing non-stop.

【Practitioner (Silver): Personally killed a large number of evil heretics and spread the prestige of the Money-Weighing Sect in the world. Your efforts have been deeply recognized by the members and Holy Spirits of the Money-Weighing Sect】

【Wearing Effect: Affinity with anomalous objects marked "Holy" rises significantly, reducing the price of use while significantly strengthening the effect of use】

【Advanced Route: Become a Sect Master of a certain lineage of the Money-Weighing Sect, or preach your understanding of the doctrine to three thousand members of the Money-Weighing Sect and obtain their recognition. This badge will automatically advance to the Gold badge "Agent". Progress of preaching doctrine to members 0/3000】

【Hidden Trait (No need to wear): Because you are personally practicing the doctrine of the Money-Weighing Sect, your soul is becoming more firm and pure, and it will be easier to obtain the favor of certain order existences】

"..."

Alright, this wave can be considered a blessing in disguise, saving him quite a lot of trouble.

After reading the advanced route of the 【Practitioner】 badge, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but frown again, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man with the rose embroidered on his chest, and said firmly:

"You lied just now, right?"

"I... I didn't..."

"You'd better not rush to deny it."

Looking at the rose emblem on the old man's chest, Hearing Hearing Li Ang said:

"It's no longer a secret that your Maseini family and the Money-Weighing Sect are colluding, so after I left without saying goodbye, the three of them came to find you for help. Am I right?"

"Actually, it's not help..."

Just then, the old butler on the side reminded cautiously:

"Duke, on the matter of finding your whereabouts, Lord Sam asked for a high price, and also said it wasn't that he wanted it, it was all for that Sect Master..."

"Haven't paid yet! That money hasn't been paid yet. I don't want anything now! And not only this time, the money invested in Rose Department Store can also be returned to you!"

Having already seen that Hearing Li Ang was mostly at odds with the Chengjin Sect, after promising to return all the money, the old man of the Rose family said with a mournful face:

"Duke! Our family really didn't collude with the Money-Weighing Sect, we just had some small cooperation usually, you must not..."

"I want to be a Sect Master of the Money-Weighing Sect."

"Ah?"

Looking at the old man who opened his mouth wide and was full of confusion, Hearing Hearing Li Ang repeated it patiently.

"Tell me, what do I need to do to become a Sect Master of the Money-Weighing Sect?"

???

No... you killed their Sect Master two minutes ago, and as soon as you heard that you were also a member of the Money-Weighing Sect, you changed camps without a second thought, not only accepted your new identity, but also aspired to be a Sect Master of the Money-Weighing Sect?

Is your adaptability too strong?

Looking at Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who was serious in front of him, and confirming that this new Lionheart Duke was not joking but really intended to do so, the old man's somewhat dry lips twitched twice, and then he said at a loss:

"This... the Money-Weighing Sect has three lineages in total, and each lineage has at most three Sect Masters at the same time. If you want to become a Sect Master, you must first obtain the joint recommendation of at least two Sect Masters, and they must be from different lineages, and then participate in three gatherings to obtain the recognition of the members..."

"Too troublesome, is there a faster one?"

"Uh... that is the True God specifies it personally, or obtains the recognition of one of the two... no, three Holy Spirits, and is stained with their aura, then you can also be directly recognized by those people in the Money-Weighing Sect."

So that's how it is...

After listening to the words of the old man of the Rose family, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but frown slightly.

The True God specifying it personally is definitely impossible. He directly mouth-killed his Holy Spirit. The probability of the True God of the Money-Weighing Sect biting him to death is higher than specifying him to be a Sect Master. As for the Holy Spirit's recognition...

"Then like this, I ask you."

After touching the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest, Hearing Hearing Li Ang asked seriously:

"If I kill a Holy Spirit, but make it into a... um... ornament, and wear it with me all the time, can it be considered as being stained with its aura? Can I obtain recognition?"
