The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 510 The Ugliness of Human Nature (2 Updates)
"I heard there's been a lot of reshuffling within the Special Administration Bureau this time, and several very important positions are now vacant. They definitely need to be filled as soon as possible. It's been so long without any movement; I think things are getting tense."

“Those big shots must have forgotten about him long ago, otherwise they would have immediately put their own people in suitable positions.”

"Serves him right! He used to look down on everyone, acting like we were all sycophants trying to curry favor with him. Let's see how arrogant he can be now!"

……

Xin Fu's junior brother looked at him somewhat awkwardly at this moment, and finally mentioned the decision of the elders.

"Senior Brother, the other disciples said you can't just keep waiting like this. Our sect is so small, we can't afford to support idle people. They want you to go out and take on missions to earn some extra money..."

As he finished speaking, his voice gradually weakened, clearly indicating that he felt somewhat guilty about what he had said.

The eldest disciple achieved a good ranking in the Xuanmen Grand Competition and obtained a lot of resources, which he ultimately contributed.

To be honest, their small, remote village had never been this wealthy before.

But people are inherently greedy. In the past, if they had seen such resources, they would have been overjoyed.

Now, knowing that his senior brother would have a better future, he has refused those lucrative offers, which has made many elders dissatisfied.

Xin Fu's eyes were calm. He had never thought that some people could share hardship but not prosperity.

The good life they enjoy now is something they never dared to dream of before, yet there are even more dissatisfied people now.

Perhaps he was wrong all along; they were never meant to be together.

He is talented, and the sect has finally found such a promising talent. Everyone has been pouring resources into him, which has long caused dissatisfaction among many people.

However, everyone still has a beautiful vision, so they have maintained a superficial balance.

Now, the balance has been broken. Everyone feels that he enjoyed those resources, so he must repay them a thousandfold unconditionally and without any bottom line; otherwise, he would be ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Xin Fu suddenly smiled: "What mission did my martial uncles take on?"

When Xin Fu's junior brothers heard this, their hearts skipped a beat for a moment. They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected their senior brother to have such an attitude.

He suddenly stammered, "It's...it's...going to the Death Mountain to look for someone..."

Don't assume that people in the Taoist sect are truly omnipotent, capable of anything from heaven to earth.

There are many places that even members of the Xuanmen sect dare not venture into, and the Death Mountain is one of them.

In ancient times, that place was known as the Ten Thousand Mountains; once someone went in, no one ever came out alive.

It is filled with various kinds of marsh gas and toxic gases, with dense vegetation, and never sees sunlight. The surrounding magnetic field is also chaotic.

Any modern equipment brought inside would become useless, not to mention the huge temperature difference between day and night.

Rumor has it that at night, the temperature there can drop to tens of degrees below zero, and anyone who gets lost will either freeze to death, starve to death, or die of fright.

This mission to find someone in the Death Mountain has been posted for a long time, and even the most skilled and daring bounty hunters don't dare to accept it.

Now, the bounty for this mission has reached a staggering one billion, and it also includes many magical artifacts that members of the Xuanmen sect can use. Who wouldn't be envious?

Xin Fu is quite capable, but he knows even better that with his abilities, let alone searching for someone in the Death Mountain, he probably wouldn't even be able to find his way inside.

Therefore, his uncles' purpose shouldn't be to send him to his death for the bounty; only a fool would do something so unprofitable. Besides, he's now at least associated with Yun Ran, so they wouldn't do anything so stupid until Yun Ran explicitly says she doesn't want him.

"Besides this, what else did your martial uncles say? Why don't you just tell them everything?"

Xin Fu's junior brother's eyes flickered, and he immediately lowered his head and said the rest of what he had to say.

"My master said that if you don't accept this mission, you'll have to pay the entire penalty for breach of contract, and you also have to compensate the sect for its losses, at three times the amount..."

Xin Fu's junior brother still had some sense of shame. After saying this, his face flushed slightly, feeling that it was too cruel to treat his senior brother like this.

But he was just a person with little say. He could only do feng shui for people and earn a pittance. He had no right to say no or stand up for others.

Xin Fu had experienced the ugliness of human nature firsthand during this period, so he wasn't surprised to hear these things now.

"I understand, you go back first."

Xin Fu's junior brother breathed a sigh of relief, gave an awkward smile, and then turned and ran away.

When Xinfu was the only one left in the courtyard, his eyes finally reddened.

He once saved a girl who had tried to drown herself. She had been raised by her family as a resource since childhood, who wanted to get countless returns from her.

Now, when the same thing happened to him, he finally understood the girl's pain and despair.

Just then, Yunran called.

The sorrow in Xinfu's eyes was shattered in that instant.

His voice unconsciously carried a hint of respect: "Miss Yun."

"If you don't have anything to do right now, pack your things and come to Haicheng!"

"Yes, Miss Yun."

After hanging up the phone, Xin Fu immediately took out his phone and started booking a ticket, choosing the fastest and most expensive flight.

He made a fuss about his preparations without keeping it from anyone. Soon, everyone in the sect knew that the high branch Xin Fu had climbed up to had finally reached out to him.

Those uncles who had just made those harsh remarks still had some sense of shame, so they didn't want to come over again. This time, it was Xin Fu's master who came.

The two looked at each other in silence, until finally Xinfu's master spoke up.

"I know what happened before hurt you. It's just that our sect is too small, and everyone is afraid of being poor, which is why we are so eager to seize every opportunity."

This time, you must do your best when you go out. That Miss Yun is extraordinary. If you stay by her side, you will definitely get many opportunities.

Once you've established yourself, if you think more about your junior brothers and sisters and help them establish themselves, then everyone's attention won't all be focused on you.

Xin Fu nodded. No matter what thoughts he had in his mind, the sect had indeed given him all the resources it could, and he truly owed a huge debt of karma.

"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."

Knowing that Xinfu had agreed, the elders all had smiles on their faces when he left.
