?Reading on mobile phone As the dialogue grew, everyone's faces gradually revealed expressions of surprise. Especially Dong Kuangqin and the accounting officer lying on the stretcher—neither of them had expected Qin Feng to be able to capture the scene on camera. As Qin Feng had previously mentioned, many traditional cultivators, with outdated thinking, were not fond of such modern technological innovations. Indeed, not a single headmaster of the major sects had such equipment. Of course, whether they used it privately or not, that remained a matter known only to them. In the eyes of the others, the accounting officer, though possessing a few minor flaws, was still within acceptable bounds. He was warm and enthusiastic when receiving guests from the major sects; polite to the mid-tier sects as well; but when dealing with smaller sects, he would unconsciously direct his nose at them. However, most of these smaller sects didn't find anything wrong with it, after all, the host sect was the leading force in the cultivation world and had organized this gathering of immortals—duly asserting its host status was entirely understandable. Yet no one had expected the receptionist to openly demand bribes from the invited guests, starting with hundreds of pills. The most egregious part was that he claimed if the guests refused to pay, he would cancel Qin Feng's ranking and make him the last-place contender. Dong Qinkuan's face turned pale. He had gone to great lengths to uphold his subordinates' dignity, only to have his own face completely ruined before the heads of the major sects. The heads of the sects exchanged significant, thoughtful glances at him, and his face turned completely ashen. The finance officer simply continued to feign unconsciousness, certain to face a stern reprimand—by pretending to be seriously injured, he would surely gain some sympathy, and Master Dong Qinkuan would have to lighten the punishment out of compassion for his pitiful appearance. In the final scene, Qin Feng delivers a powerful punch that sends the man flying, after which he quickly changes his demeanor, rushing to handle the paperwork for Qin Feng and repeatedly admitting his own mistakes. Standing by the television, Qin Shao gestures with both hands and declares loudly, "All of you have just seen that he has acknowledged his errors. By all rights, this matter should now be concluded. Yet instead of reflecting on his own shortcomings or making any meaningful amends, he now turns around and accuses me of being unreasonable. Let me ask you—what do you think is fair?" Several dozen questioning eyes now fix on Dong Qiankun and his team, many of them laced with resentment—likely stemming from the unfair treatment they received while handling the paperwork. Seeing the man act as if dead, Qin Feng directly channels the frustration to Dong Qiankun: "Dong Master, you haven't even grasped the full truth of what happened. Not only have you believed the lies of your subordinates, but you've gone out of your way to create a fuss. How can this situation be justified?" "He Mu Qing added, 'Yes, you must give us the Ling Miao Sect a clear account—otherwise, you're not fit to host the Gathering of the Immortal Sects!' As soon as these words were spoken, several abbots immediately echoed agreement, especially the Fire God Elder and the缥缈 True Person, who had long been dissatisfied and had been eager to take over Dong Kuangqun's authority. Now they finally had a solid reason. The Fire God Elder stepped forward and said, 'Dong Abbot, with so many eyes on us, you must provide a clear explanation!' The缥缈 True Person quickly added, 'Indeed, I heard you just promised earlier that if it's a mistake made by your own people, you would never show leniency—everyone's been waiting for that!' Dong Kuangqun kept his face taut. The incident just now had already severely damaged his dignity. If the situation didn't improve in the coming steps, his reputation among the immortal cultivators would surely reach its lowest point." He glanced back at the accountant who had faked his death, thinking: "If it's you who've been lying—and if you've already been exposed—then even if I want to save you, I can't. All this is entirely your fault. Don't blame me; blame Qin Feng instead." Taking a deep breath, he spoke firmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, you know my character—my eyes can't tolerate even the smallest speck of dust. As a representative of the Xiaoyao Sect, I am responsible for upholding its face. Not only did he fail to make you feel at home, but he was also rude, demanding bribes, and even after being struck, he refused to change his attitude. Instead, he deceived me, nearly making me wrongfully accuse a good man. All these offenses combined constitute crimes so grave that they are beyond forgiveness!" The accountant was startled—'beyond forgiveness'? That sounded rather severe. He clearly expected a stern punishment. What would it be? Dong Gqian spoke with serious determination, continuing, "Such a person doesn't deserve to be considered one of our Xiao Yao Sect members..." The accounting officer's heart skipped a beat—was he being expelled from the sect? Then how could he establish himself in the cultivation world? That simply couldn't happen. But what followed next from Dong Gqian sent his heart plunging even deeper into the icy depths. Dong Gqian gritted his teeth and declared, "I have decided to disable him completely and expel him from the Xiao Yao Sect—this way, I will demonstrate to all that I, Dong Gqian, am a man of integrity, and that the Xiao Yao Sect is a trustworthy organization!" First disabled, then expelled—this was the most severe punishment, nearly equivalent to taking his life. After all, cultivators often live far longer than their outward appearance suggests. Once they become ordinary people, their bodily functions decline rapidly, and they will soon perish. He could no longer pretend—he straightened up and shouted, "Master, I know I'm wrong. Please, please don't! Looking at all the years I've devoted to the Xiaoyao Sect, even if I haven't achieved any great accomplishments, I've certainly earned my share of hard work. You can't treat me this way!" "Qin Sha smiled lightly, "Brother doesn't even need to speak—he made this decision in front of everyone. What does that have to do with me? Can he really come after me for it later? As for the disciples of the Xiao Yao Sect, I truly don't care about them at all!" The other several heads of the sects also held the attitude of mere spectators, with no one stepping forward to plead their case. In truth, pleading was nothing more than a simple gesture for them. Yet they were delighted to see Dong Qiankun and Qin Feng turn rivals, as this would help them secure the Lotus Platform. How could they possibly intervene when they were so eager to see this unfold?
