Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

A scream came from the small door. Lu An couldn't imagine how happy that man must be at that moment.

He finally made it to the honey trap stage, and he really couldn't hold out any longer.

Even if the women of the Hehuan Sect are drained to death, it's all worth it!

However, the fact that the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect would resort to such methods is simply too much...

The disciple beside him seemed to have seen through Lu An's thoughts and said, "Elder Lu, you don't know this, but when dealing with demonic villains, there is no need to be soft-hearted. Just do what needs to be done. Being too soft-hearted will only lead to disaster!"

Lu An nodded silently, thinking that they were indeed ruthless and decisive.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Ah...that feels so good! Harder! Ah!"

This guy was even more outrageous. A female disciple whipped him, and instead of crying out in pain, he cried out in pleasure, even swaying his body in a very seductive manner.

“If we weren’t short-handed, we wouldn’t have sent the female disciples down, so well…”

"You pervert, let go of my shoes! Don't take my shoes off...!"

This is a demonic undercover agent who was trampled on the ground by a female disciple; his level of perversion is even more extreme.

"I understand. Not only are the disciples here talented, but even the undercover agents we've captured are talented."

Chapter Ninety-One: The Unlucky Ones in the Enforcement Hall

Led by Yu Wanqing, Lu An passed through the terrifying execution chamber and arrived at the residence of the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Here, a large group of disciples dressed in the uniforms of the Law Enforcement Hall were already waiting. Their clothes all had the character "law" on them, making them look quite imposing.

They also had red ribbons tied around their arms, giving them the appearance of a disciplinary committee.

The colors of their clothes also differed, with the fewest people wearing black and the most wearing white, and those in black standing at the very front.

As soon as Lu An appeared, everyone stood at attention.

"Everyone, please welcome the new Elder of the Enforcement Hall, Lu An!"

The moment Lu An sat down, thunderous applause erupted, filling the entire hall with enthusiastic applause.

Several disciples kept taking flowers out of the basket and scattering them around, making the whole scene very ceremonial.

Lu An was a little unaccustomed to it: "Is this how you welcome people here?"

Yu Wanqing replied softly, "I'm not quite sure either. Maybe this is a welcoming ceremony from the Enforcement Hall."

Although she was the deputy sect leader of the Yuantian Holy Sect, Yu Wanqing was not familiar with every department or hall, let alone the internal workings of the sect.

A person dressed in clothes different from the disciples of the Enforcement Hall walked out from here, with a fawning smile on his face.

"Elder Lu's presence is an honor to us. We are confident that under Elder Lu's leadership, the Enforcement Hall will become even better!"

This is Elder Yan Buyu, the deputy elder of the Enforcement Hall.

At this moment, he was standing next to Lu An, flattering him vigorously, his eagerness evident on his face.

However, his appearance was rather comical.

However, the disciples below did not laugh at all; instead, they clapped along, though their laughter was a forced, commercial smile.

"Now, please welcome our new leader... no, I mean, our newly appointed Elder Lu, to say a few words! Everyone, please give him a round of applause!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, the applause seemingly able to penetrate the roof.

For a moment, Lu An felt that he was no different from the leaders in his previous life.

Despite looking constipated, I was still forced to go up and say a few words. I was completely exasperated.

Lu An sat on the table, looking at the crowd below the stage, unsure of what to do.

What should he say?

"Since everyone wants me to say a few words, then I will say a few words..."

"I did think about it, and decided to just say a few words."

"These two sentences are definitely better than the other two sentences, so I'll talk about those two sentences first today."

"If you feel that what I said wasn't comprehensive enough, then please add a couple more sentences..."

Lu An sat on the table, smiling as he looked at these people, talking animatedly.

This was the kind of nonsense literature he and his superiors learned. Everyone listened, bewildered, feeling like they had heard a lot.

But when I think about it in the end, it seems like I heard a lot, but it also seems like I didn't hear anything at all.

"I've finished speaking. Does anyone have anything else to say?"

The disciples stared in astonishment at Lu An on the stage, unsure of what to say.

After a long silence, everyone fell silent.

"Great, that was very well said! Let's give them a round of applause!"

It wasn't until Elder Yan clapped that the other disciples followed suit, clapping enthusiastically.

Although they didn't know what Elder Lu said, they clapped along, appearing very excited.

As expected of Elder Lu, you're truly impressive! Well said!

Although I didn't understand a single word, who cares? As long as they talked enough, that's fine.

Following this, a warm welcome ceremony concluded, and Elder Lu saw Sect Leader Yu off from the Enforcement Hall, marking the official end of the handover ceremony for the new elder of the Enforcement Hall.

After Lu An saw Yu Wanqing out of the Enforcement Hall, Yu Wanqing said to Lu An, "Elder Lu, I'm entrusting this Enforcement Hall to you. Elder Yan will assist you!"

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Lu An nodded and smiled as he saw Yu Wanqing off.

Watching the streak of light gradually disappear in the sky, Lu An breathed a sigh of relief.

This job should allow me to slack off, right?

With a forced smile, Yan Buyu asked, "Elder Lu, today's work hasn't even started yet. Don't you think we should...?"

Lu An glanced at Yan Buyu and asked in confusion, "Work? What kind of work does the Enforcement Hall do? Just interrogate prisoners, right?"

Who goes to work if they're not a decent person? Those who go to work are all dishonest people.

A decent person should slack off, and even slack off while being paid.

Yan Buyu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, that's routine work. Elder Lu doesn't need to do it. Other outer sect elders and disciples will naturally take care of it."

Lu An became interested: "So you mean I have some kind of special job?"

“Of course, Elder Lu, the work you need to do is very important! The problems that need to be solved are also very important, as they will affect the survival of the entire Enforcement Hall!” Yan Buyu turned and walked into a small room: “Elder Lu, please wait for me a moment! I’ll be there soon.”

Yan Buyu left.

Then, a sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets came from the small room, which stunned Lu An.

What's going on? What's this?

After a while, Yan Buyu came out of the room, looking a little disheveled.

What he was holding in his hands was a whole stack of notebooks, which looked like account books.

Yan Buyu carried over the stacks of notebooks, his face showing a hint of excitement.

Lu An immediately sensed something was wrong.

Oh no, this sixth brother probably brought something bad with him.

The stack of notebooks was placed on Lu An's desk, raising a cloud of dust.

Lu An covered his nose, squinting his eyes, and said, "Cough cough, what is this?"

Yan Buyu said with a smile, "These are the ledgers that the Enforcement Hall squeezed out. They contain the spirit stone debts we owed to other halls and sects."

Lu An was stunned: "Huh? What did you say? You owe spirit stones?"

“That’s right, Elder Lu. Because Elder Ji isn’t very popular and is extremely impartial, we’ve been borrowing money to make ends meet, all thanks to the Sect Master.” Yan Buyu nodded and said, “After all, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall also need spirit stones! Who will work without them?”

Upon hearing this, Lu An's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

You guys are really something, you've really dumped a huge problem on me!

What does this mean? They come here supposedly to be elders, but are they actually just trying to make money for the debt-ridden temple?

"Elder Lu, look, this is the monthly allowance for disciples that Elder Ji has been struggling to provide. It's approximately 36,724 low-grade spirit stones, then 12,163 mid-grade spirit stones, 5,120 high-grade spirit stones, and 1,026 top-grade spirit stones..."

"Wait, stop reading! I can't remember it, I'm dizzy!" Lu An covered his ears, his eyes swirling with two dimples: "So you mean I have to pay off your debts?"

"That's roughly the gist of it. There's also money from other branches, and money borrowed from other sects, etc. Elder Lu, I'll read it to you item by item..." Yan Buyu flipped through the ledger and said seriously, "We borrowed about 6,271 low-grade spirit stones from the Chuanyan Hall..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Lu An gestured for Yan Buyu to be quiet: "Alright, I understand. So you mean the Enforcement Hall is a mess right now, with many unresolved issues regarding spirit stones, right?"

Yan Buyu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, Elder Lu is really clever! Actually, there's no big problem. I think Elder Lu and Sect Master Yu seem to have a very good relationship. If possible, you could try to get more help from Sect Master Yu regarding the annual allocation of funds to the halls!"

Alright, alright, so that's how it is. No wonder that old man Shen Xuzi made him an elder of the Enforcement Hall. I thought it was some important department, but it turns out...

"No, isn't the Enforcement Hall in charge of sect discipline and the capture of demonic spies? Why is it so heavily in debt? This shouldn't be!" Lu An pondered for a moment and said, "Even if Elder Ji is heartless, it's still unacceptable for the Enforcement Hall to have fallen to such a state!"

"Elder Lu said he didn't know. It's like this: Elder Ji also speculated on real estate. It's said that he heard during his cultivation that the prices of the houses he bought in Tai'an City and Yuan'an City had all been halved, which is why he went mad."

"No, what does this have to do with Elder Ji's real estate speculation? Don't talk nonsense..." Lu An was about to scold him, but then stopped himself.

He looked at Yan Buyu with a knowing look in his eyes. Yan Buyu was a shrewd person and immediately understood what he wanted to say. He smiled and replied, "That's right, Elder Lu, you guessed it. The money Elder Ji used to speculate on real estate is the funding for the Enforcement Hall!"

Chapter Ninety-Two: Waiting for My Master to Take Action

This is the new version of Elder Ji's demonic possession that Lu An heard.

While practicing cultivation, he heard that all the houses he had speculated on had plummeted in value, which caused him to go astray and become possessed by demons.

And that's not all, he also used the funds from the Enforcement Hall to speculate on real estate, which is even more outrageous!

It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous!

Previously, it was said that he had become obsessed with reading erotic books, but now it's the version that he became obsessed after failing to speculate on real estate.

It's a pity for Elder Ji, who is in the crystal coffin. I wonder how many versions of his story haven't been passed down yet.

But the one who is truly pitiful now is himself.

After all, the enforcement office they were assigned to turned out to be a place rife with bad debts.

"Can we run away? Can we run away?"

This was Lu An's first thought. Just like when he went to work before, when he came to a new company, he didn't think about how to make it bigger and stronger and create new glories, but rather how to run away as quickly as possible.

"Elder Lu, don't worry. Actually, we still owe some money to some individuals, and it's almost time for them to come to our door soon."

"...Elder Yan, is it too late for me to run away now?"

"Uh, it might be too late. Now that you're an elder of the Enforcement Hall, the dispatch order has already been issued."

"what does that mean?"

"The elders from other halls should be here to congratulate you on taking office, including the vice sect leaders of other sects. Elder Lu, if you just leave like this, the Law Enforcement Hall will lose face big time."

"Damn it! We've been tricked!"

Heavenly Demon Sect

Several days have passed, and since the battle at Yunyao Valley, the morale of the entire Heavenly Demon Sect has plummeted.

Since returning, Zhao Mengyuan has become depressed and has secluded herself in her cave, refusing to come out.

Furthermore, Li Nayue has been so spurred by the fact that Lu An is still alive that she has reportedly gone insane, leaving no one to handle sect affairs.

So the hands-off manager went back online, and in just a few days, she was already driven to the brink of a splitting headache by the complicated tasks.

Going to work is a very painful thing.

Finally, Li Podao could no longer hold on. Even though he had revealed his true form to handle affairs, the complicated workload still tormented him from a beautiful and ethereal immortal cultivator into a haggard middle-aged woman.

This is awful, I don't want to go to this awful class even once more.

How exactly does Zhao Mengyuan manage to handle so many affairs?
