"Hand over your storage soul guide."
The Second Elder keenly noticed the abnormality in Tang San's expression, and immediately narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"I am a disciple of the Haotian Sect. I have made contributions to the Haotian Sect. The Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night is my personal property."
Tang San was indeed panicking. There was indeed a hidden weapon in his Twenty-Four Bridges on Moonlit Night, and he had indeed taken it from Yuexuan.
However, they were not stolen from the warehouse, but were transferred quietly when making hidden weapons.
Although there were disciples of the Haotian Sect beside him when he was making hidden weapons, they were there to learn his methods of making hidden weapons and to monitor him at the same time.
But who is Tang San? He can even steal the secrets of the Tang Sect. It is very easy for him to steal some materials or even finished products without anyone noticing.
The disciples of Haotian Sect who followed him were all very simple-minded and were more interested in practicing than learning how to make hidden weapons.
Tang San first tentatively took some raw materials, then parts, and finally the finished product.
"Hey, Xiao San, please hand over the soul guide yourself."
Tang Xiao was quite angry that he didn't fight back.
Tang San also knew that it was pointless to quibble, so he could only untie his belt and handed it to Tang Xiao unwillingly.
As the saying goes, a cook who doesn't steal grains won't accept them. Tang San didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
The method of making hidden weapons originally belonged to him. It was fine if the sect forcibly took the hidden weapons he made, but what was wrong with him taking "a little" of the fruits of his labor?
Crash~
A pile of hidden weapon materials, parts and finished products fell to the ground from the Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night.
"Tang San, do you have anything else to say?"
The second elder's eyelids twitched and he asked loudly.
Tang San didn't even raise his head: "These materials and hidden weapons are all my personal property. They were definitely not stolen from the warehouse. The quantity is so different, where else can I hide them?"
Tang San could admit to cutting corners and withholding part of the work, but he would never admit to stealing the finished hidden weapons.
He didn't do that kind of thing in the first place. He's not a fool. How could he do something that could be seen through at a glance?
"Do the numbers match?"
The second elder asked the disciple of Haotian Sect.
"No, the quantity is much smaller, and the boxes of hidden weapons that were thrown away contained finished products, not these materials and parts."
"What about these finished products? Are they in those boxes?"
The disciple of Haotian Sect picked up a finished product, took a look at it, and finally shook his head.
"They all look the same, I can't tell them apart, maybe... maybe..."
A few uncertain words made Tang San so depressed that he vomited blood. When had he ever been wronged like this? He now wished that those stolen hidden weapons were really his.
"Uncle, you should believe me. Am I such a fool?"
Tang San felt that his character was not convincing enough, so he simply started with his IQ.
Tang Xiao nodded.
He had long noticed that Tang San was different from most of the disciples of the Haotian Sect who had muscles on their brains. He was full of evil intentions and he didn't know if he learned it from Ah Hao.
"I think what Xiao San said makes sense. He's not a fool. Even if he's a little greedy and his hands are a little dirty, he wouldn't do something like that."
If Tang San really stole so many hidden weapons, he wouldn't have to collect these parts and materials.
The second elder lowered his eyelids.
"Even if he didn't steal the hidden weapons in the warehouse, it's impossible to fake that he stole the Haotian Sect's property. He stole so many materials and hidden weapons from the Haotian Sect. This kind of person..."
The second elder originally wanted to say that he was not worthy of being a disciple of the Haotian Sect and should be expelled from the Haotian Sect like Tang Hao.
But then he changed his mind and realized that the Haotian Sect still needed Tang San's hidden weapons, so he swallowed the rest of his words.
The fourth elder continued what the second elder said.
"Tang San has three days to make the stolen hidden weapon. In addition, he will be searched every time he enters Yuexuan. His habit of stealing the Haotian Sect's property must be stopped."
"This punishment is already quite light, Master. What are your thoughts?"
Tang Xiao looked at Tang San disappointedly.
"Xiao San, I really didn't expect you to make such a mistake. You've heard the opinions of the elders. Do you have any objections?"
Tang San was very depressed. He had some opinions, and they were very big ones.
You guys are so incompetent that you threw away all the hidden weapons you made, and now you still want me to work overtime. I still need to practice.
But he was indeed in the wrong, so Tang San could only nod silently.
Originally, he could get some benefits by helping Haotian Sect to make hidden weapons, but in the future he will not be able to get such benefits to comfort himself, and it is purely a waste of work for Haotian Sect.
"Since you agree to the punishment, then go back and make your hidden weapons immediately. Be quick, as we're still waiting to sell them."
"yes."
Tang San seemed a little listless, but when he heard Tang Xiao say that he was waiting to sell it, he reluctantly piqued some interest.
Have you found a buyer? It seems my hidden weapons are still quite popular.
The three kinds of hidden weapon making abilities that Tang San demonstrated were all relatively ordinary hidden weapons. He still kept the real fine products and had no intention of showing them in front of the people of Haotian Sect.
If the hidden weapons sell well, he may be able to make a fortune with them.
"Master, this boy is unstable and treacherous. I'm afraid he harbors resentment towards the Haotian Sect."
After Tang San left, the Second Elder said to Tang Xiao.
"I can only teach you more in the future. Second Elder, you are the oldest, so I will trouble you to teach Xiao San in the future."
Of course Tang Xiao also saw what the Second Elder saw, but the Haotian Sect needed to use Tang San, so it was not appropriate to increase the punishment.
"That's all I can do."
Although the Second Elder usually liked to hide behind when encountering problems, he still accepted this task.
…
After Chrysanthemum Douluo left Yuexuan, he prepared to leave quickly without stopping for a moment.
He didn't know when the Haotian Sect would discover that things were stolen, but once they did, they would definitely be furious, and the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
No trace of ghosts was found in the Haotian Sect. Chrysanthemum Douluo only hoped that the young master would find something, otherwise it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yue Guanhuai was feeling depressed. After crossing two streets, she suddenly sensed something and stopped.
Just at the end of the street, a somewhat unfamiliar figure appeared there.
Although that person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, the familiarity of years of interaction and the induction of his martial soul proved that this person was the one he had been thinking about.
"Old ghost, you're not dead?"
Yue Guan was extremely excited. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was actually prepared to receive the news that Ghost Douluo was dead.
Ghost Douluo was so happy to meet his old friend again.
"Of course I'm not dead. Even an old man like you isn't dead, so how could I be dead?"
Ghost Douluo was as excited as Yueguan. Although he didn't die, his experiences during this period were like rebirth.
"Stop talking here, let's leave first."
Yue Guan did not forget that he had taken things from the Haotian Sect, so he had to stay away.
