Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Not long after Tang Tian returned from the Grand Elder's study, the eastern sky began to turn pale.

After daybreak, all the high-ranking members of the sect would gather together to make the final vote for the position of the second-in-command.

During this process, the candidates were not allowed to enter and could only wait in their own places for the final result.

However, Tang Tian had no intention of going.

There were only two candidates, him and Lu Changge.

Because of what happened last night, Lu Changge had already lost all support, and now he was missing. It could be said that the result of the vote had already been determined.

But Tang Tian didn't feel any joy.

He sat quietly under the old locust tree.

A pot of clear tea, two teacups.

It seemed as if he was waiting for someone.

Time passed quickly, and the sun had gradually risen.

Under the sunlight, a large white mist rose in the valley that had just rained, like a fairyland.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared out of thin air in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

The formation outside was not triggered.

"You didn't leave after all."

Tang Tian turned his head.

That figure was Lu Changge.

"You really guessed that I would come."

Lu Changge's tone was calm. Then he took a step forward and came to the dry area under the locust tree that was not wet by the rain, and sat down.

"How is Chi Yuan?"

"I didn't expect his obsession to reach such a level."

Lu Changge said.

Tang Tian didn't answer his question, but asked in return, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Changge sighed lightly.

"What else could it be?"

"I have been working and planning for more than twenty years just for that position."

"How could I let you easily take away what belongs to me?"

Tang Tian said slowly, "But you also know that if you deal with Chi Yuan, you will lose the support of everyone in the sect."

Lu Changge shook his head.

"Since you found out the truth about Du Yuanqing's incident, their support is no longer important."

"No matter what I do, I can't defeat you on the front lines."

"So, I turned my attention to Chi Yuan."

"I want to use his inner demon, the relationship between you two, and your indifferent attitude towards that position to turn the tide."

"If my plan goes well, Chi Yuan will be suppressed by the sect after losing half of his life, and I will find you afterwards. I will use the opportunity to save Chi Yuan to make you voluntarily give up the competition for that position."

"I believe that you will definitely make the choice I expect."

"But unfortunately, you... have become so powerful."

Listening to Lu Changge's plan, Tang Tian couldn't help but fall silent.

Indeed, if it really went according to what Lu Changge said, he might really consider giving up that position for Chi Yuan.

But he always felt that Lu Changge's purpose was not that simple.

"You haven't completely failed either."

"Chi Yuan is still in a coma. If you really have a way to save him, I will consider giving up before the final result comes out."

Tang Tian said.

Lu Changge looked up at the sky, took a long breath.

"Let it go."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"And I don't believe that with your means, there is no way to save Chi Yuan."

"Even if there isn't now, there will definitely be in the future."

Tang Tian remained silent.

Indeed, there is always a solution to any terrifying inner demon.

If Chi Yuan really can't find a way to get out on his own, he will definitely seek other ways.

"So why did you come all the way here? What's the matter?"

"You should know that after you did such a thing, I can't let you leave easily."

Tang Tian said.

Lu Changge lowered his head, pinched a fresh grass leaf, and played with it in his hand.

"I'm a bit... tired."

"And after today, I will be leaving Qingyue Gate."

"At the very least, we can consider ourselves the final opponents. Although I lost, I still feel it's necessary to bid you farewell."

"By the way... let's also resolve a past that was left unresolved over a hundred years ago."

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. "Chi Yuan?"

Lu Changge nodded.

Then, he looked up and gazed at the courtyard ahead, speaking slowly, "Once, I lived here for a period of time."

"That was the happiest time of my life."

"Every day, I would run, play, and frolic here, carefree."

"Master Zhu was the one who raised me and the person I respected the most."

"When he passed away, I felt like my world had collapsed."

"Since then, I secretly swore that one day, I would make all those responsible for Master Zhu's death pay the price they deserve."

Lu Changge spoke calmly, revealing those past events.

Indeed, he had lived here, and he was closely related to Master Zhu.

"So even if I'm not here, you will still deal with Chi Yuan, right?"

Tang Tian asked.

Lu Changge nodded, admitting to his statement.

"Among those people, the one I hate the most is Chi Yuan."

"Master Zhu valued him so much, supported him so much, and even got himself deeply entangled in the vortex of power for him."

"But what did he do? He chose betrayal because of his own cowardice."

"I will never forgive him in this lifetime."

"But..."

"Last night, when I saw him go completely crazy and burn his own life due to his inner demons, I suddenly felt somewhat relieved."

"If Master Zhu's spirit exists in the heavens, I believe he wouldn't want to see Chi Yuan end up like this."

Tang Tian paused slightly.

Lu Changge was actually present on the battlefield last night?

But he didn't notice, and neither did the several Immortal Realm experts in the sect.

"So what do you plan to do now?"

Tang Tian asked.

Lu Changge took a deep breath.

"Some things, we should let go when it's time to let go."

"Chi Yuan has his own obsessions, and haven't I had mine as well?"

"What's in the past should stay in the past."

"He has already lived in pain for so many years and endured the punishment he should have."

"I came to find you today because I want to completely resolve his inner demons and help him escape from the quagmire of suffering."

"This is also what Master Zhu wanted to do before."

Tang Tian was slightly taken aback.

"Master Zhu also knew about Chi Yuan's inner demons?"

Lu Changge nodded.

"Before he passed away, Master Zhu had already guessed that something like this would happen."

"So, he specifically left behind some things to help Chi Yuan find peace and not get trapped in what has already happened."

"But these things... I hid them."

Tang Tian furrowed his brows.

Lu Changge shrugged and said, "Don't react like that."

"Chi Yuan is the main culprit behind Master Zhu's death. Of course, I don't want him to have it easy."

"If I hadn't seen him in that state last night, I would never have revealed these things."

Tang Tian fell silent.

Lu Changge was also a victim of that incident back then.

He truly couldn't judge his choice.

Regardless, the most important thing now was Chi Yuan. If he could truly free himself from his inner demons, then that would be enough.

"Where are the things?"

Tang Tian asked.

Lu Changge looked at Tang Tian, but his gaze went beyond him and landed behind him.

"It's right there."

He pointed to a place not far from the stone table.

It was the Nianquan Ancient Well.
