Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 96 – Settling the accounts

Ghost Guest smiled faintly and handed the storage bag from his sleeve to Amanda Han.

Amanda Han took the account book and storage bag to Lan Qian, placed them on the table, and returned to her seat without looking at the two.

Li Qing met Lan Qian's eyes, picked up the account book, and flipped to this month's balance, his eyes full of shock.

"There's actually a profit of 7.3 million Spirit Stones!"

Everyone was shocked.

In the past, even when Fragrance Beauty Tower had good business, it only brought in a maximum of 10,000 Spirit Stones a day, with a monthly profit of around 300,000 Spirit Stones. But now, it had increased twentyfold!

Even with a half-percent profit, Amanda Han could earn nearly 150,000 Spirit Stones in a month.

If this continued for a few more months, the Spirit Stones Amanda Han saved would be enough for her to cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refinement.

Is this the profit made by piling up the entire Law Enforcement Hall?

It's terrifying!

"Steward Han is indeed impressive, keep up the good work," Lan Qian surprisingly smiled at Amanda Han.

This immediately made the other stewards realize that they had witnessed how Fragrance Beauty Tower operated this month, with virtually no profits. Now that Amanda Han could produce so many Spirit Stones, it must have been Ghost Guest transferring them from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Even a wealthy place like the Medicine Gate couldn't support such a deficit for long, let alone the Law Enforcement Hall.

Although this month had been frustrating, there was no reason to refuse such a good thing as the Law Enforcement Hall sending Spirit Stones to the Medicine Gate.

It was clear to everyone that Ghost Guest wanted to keep Fragrance Beauty Tower's business at the top, thereby promoting Amanda Han to the position of protector.

But using such a loss-making method couldn't last a year. When the Law Enforcement Hall couldn't support it anymore, Fragrance Beauty Tower would revert to its original state, and they could make money as they used to.

Moreover, with so many Spirit Stones sent by the Law Enforcement Hall, they might even get a share.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, looking at Ghost Guest with eyes full of disdain.

In their view, what Ghost Guest was doing was completely thankless.

Lan Qian frowned at Ghost Guest. Others might think Ghost Guest was being foolish, but based on her long-term investigation, Ghost Guest was not an impulsive person.

Knowing this path was unworkable, why did he still act this way?

She couldn't fathom Ghost Guest's intentions, and after thinking for a long time without any result, she could only wave her hand slightly.

"This month's accounts are settled, everyone may leave."

The stewards all stood up, just about to take their leave when Ghost Guest suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Lan Qian asked.

"Is this considered settling the accounts?" Ghost Guest asked with a smile.

"What else?" Lan Qian retorted with a cold face.

Ghost Guest said calmly, "If I remember correctly, there's a rule in the Medicine Gate that if a steward's monthly profit doesn't exceed 10,000 Spirit Stones, they are to be warned. If it happens for three consecutive months, they must resign from their steward position. Aren't the two Deputy Gate Masters planning to issue a warning?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's face changed drastically, except for Amanda Han, including Li Qing and Lan Qian.

Lan Qian stared intently at Ghost Guest, and only then did she finally understand what Ghost Guest intended to do.

Ghost Guest's goal wasn't to keep Fragrance Beauty Tower's business at the top for a year. As long as they held out for three months, the vast majority of stewards present would have to be dismissed.

By then, the Law Enforcement Hall could take the opportunity to promote their own people to steward positions. Even if they were deputy gate masters, how could cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall listen to the two of them?

Ghost Guest's move was to sideline the two of them.

No wonder the Law Enforcement Hall would send them Spirit Stones for free. Once the Law Enforcement Hall's people were in place, the losses of these three months would be recouped.

Lan Qian snorted coldly, releasing her Qi Refinement ninth-level cultivation, directly targeting Ghost Guest.

Li Qing hurriedly grabbed Lan Qian's hand, shaking his head.

What Ghost Guest did was excessive, but it was within the rules. If Lan Qian took action against Ghost Guest, the rules would be broken, and it would become a fight to the death.

In the game of power, either everyone sits at the table and plays by the rules, winning or losing based on their abilities.

Or they flip the table, and no one plays!

If Lan Qian made the first move, not only would the hard-won truce between the Medicine Gate and the Law Enforcement Hall break again, but regardless of who won or lost in the end, Lan Qian, who started the trouble, would definitely not have a good outcome.

Lan Qian met Li Qing's eyes, suppressed her anger, glanced at the many stewards, and said coldly, "Those who don't meet the standards, consider this a warning. If it happens again, they will be punished according to the gate rules. Dismissed."

Everyone gritted their teeth in hatred, glaring at Ghost Guest a few times before leaving in anger.

Lan Qian walked up to Ghost Guest, scrutinizing him as if to get to know him anew, "Junior Brother, you're quite skilled."

Ghost Guest smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Deputy Gate Master. I will do my best in the future to earn more profits for the Medicine Gate."

Lan Qian's gaze suddenly softened, and she whispered, "Junior Brother, how about we each take a step back? The Medicine Gate won't take your profits for this month. When the Gate Master comes out of seclusion, Li Qing and I will recommend you for the position of protector of the Medicine Gate. Wouldn't the Law Enforcement Hall be satisfied with such a result?"

"Hmm..." Ghost Guest stroked his chin, pretending to ponder, "It's not impossible, but I would like the Deputy Gate Master to answer a few questions."

"Ask."

"May I ask, Senior Sister, are you a virgin?"

Lan Qian's face immediately darkened, "Don't you think your question is too presumptuous?"

"Please answer me, Senior Sister."

Lan Qian shook her head, seemingly a bit embarrassed, her voice almost inaudible, "No."

"Then may I ask, Senior Sister, who was the one who took your virginity?"

Lan Qian's face instantly turned extremely dark, staring at Ghost Guest.

"Ghost Guest, don't go too far. Don't think that just because the Senior Brother values you, you can act recklessly!" Li Qing glared angrily, as if he wanted to tear Ghost Guest apart.

"So it was you, Senior Brother," Ghost Guest suddenly realized, then showed a malicious smile, "I don't want to be a protector. I just want to spend a night with Senior Sister. Rest assured, Senior Sister, I'm still a virgin and won't look down on you. If you agree, I'll give this month's profits to you. How about it?"

Li Qing roared, releasing his Qi Refinement ninth-level aura completely, stepping forward, and in the next moment, he was in front of Ghost Guest, striking towards the top of Ghost Guest's skull.

"You've gone too far, die!"
