The Strongest Leveling System

When they arrived at the hall, there was no one there. Long Xiaotian arrogantly sat down on the main seat. Long Yaotian had no choice but to sit on the other seat.    

He felt very unhappy in his heart. This brat was clearly trying to snatch the seat of the host. If I sit here and do as he pleases, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?    

However, there was no other way. If he were to fight for the seat now, it would only show that he lacked self-restraint. He could only glare at Long Xiaotian.    

"Third Brother, don't stare at me like a bean bun. Why are you looking for me?" Long Xiaotian asked with a smile.    

"Long Xiaotian, let me ask you, did you do something when you were collecting resources in my prefecture?" Long Yaotian glared at Long Xiaotian and said.    

Long Xiaotian immediately understood what had happened. It seemed like he had committed a crime. He didn't expect Long Yaotian to notice it so quickly.    

It turned out that Long Yaotian often needed the resources in the prefecture. Not only did he need them for his own cultivation, his subordinates who worked for him would also be rewarded with some resources for their cultivation.    

This was the case this time. When he gave the order to reward them, the subordinate stammered and told him that the Snow Sword wasn't effective enough.    

The Snow Sword was originally over a hundred years old and was very helpful to cultivators. However, after consuming it, the subordinate realized that it only lasted for ten years at most.    

Initially, he did not dare to tell the Third Prince, but his heart ached. He braced himself and reported to the Third Prince.    

Long Yaotian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. However, the effect of the loss of resources wasn't unheard of. It wasn't that all resources were better the longer they were consumed. There were also some that would cause the effect to be lost after a certain period of time.    

Could it be that a portion of the resources in his prefecture had already reached the time limit? If that was the case, he would have to check it thoroughly.    

He immediately ordered the two newly appointed managers of the treasury to conduct a thorough investigation. Now that Old Liu and Old Xu's identities had been exposed, they had already left the Third Prince's mansion.    

Old Liu had unfortunately died in order to save Long Xiaotian. Old Xu, on the other hand, had returned to his original mansion as the deputy of the Tiantan.    

The Third Prince and the Empress couldn't help but be shocked when they found out about this. They had never thought that there would be two people working for the Emperor, Long Jiuzhou, under their noses. Had their secret been leaked?    

However, after their observation, it shouldn't have been revealed. After all, the Third Prince had just found out about this matter, and the Third Prince had never told any of his confidants about it.    

If their secret had been found out, they would have attacked the Empress and the Third Prince a long time ago. How could they be so calm? Only then did they calm down.    

When Old Liu and Old Xu left, there would naturally be someone to replace them. The two newly appointed stewards were people whom the Third Prince trusted.    

After receiving the order from the Third Prince, they immediately conducted a thorough investigation of all the resources in the Treasury. The results of the investigation gave them a shock.    

It turned out that more than half of the resources in the Treasury had been lost. At least two-thirds of them had been lost. More than half of the resources in the warehouse had been wasted.    

This result shocked them. The alliance had reported it to Long Yaotian.    

How could Long Yaotian believe it? He hurriedly came to take a look. The resources were all there, but he didn't know who had used some strange method to absorb the essence.    

Long Yaotian was furious. He thought that it was his subordinates who did this. He tortured his subordinates who were suspected, but he didn't ask anything.    

It wasn't until someone reminded him that it was simply impossible to achieve this in the Imperial Residence. Or perhaps, there was no way to conceal the fact that all the resources were being drained away. At least, there was no such method in the Great Qian Dynasty.    

Although Long Yaotian's temper was impatient, he wasn't a brainless person. He calmed down and thought about it carefully. He felt that his subordinates did not have this kind of ability. If he wanted to do this... He was not an ordinary person.    

He suddenly thought of Zhou Guang. Although Zhou Guang didn't have a good relationship with him, in Long Yaotian's eyes, Zhou Guang was a man with genuine talent and knowledge. Perhaps he would know about it.    

Zhou Guang heard that such a strange thing had happened. He personally came to take a look. However, after he had finished looking, he smiled coyly. Was there a need to ask? It must have been the doing of Great Elder Demonshine's senior disciple.    

It seemed that junior brother Xiaotian had already mastered Great Elder Demonshine's heterophthalmia to the acme of perfection. Otherwise, how could he absorb so many resources? This was something that even he couldn't compare with!    

He was already sure that Long Xiaotian was undoubtedly the senior disciple of Great Elder Demonshine, but now, he was even more sure of Long Xiaotian's identity.    

Although Long Yaotian didn't know from Zhou Guang that it was related to Long Xiaotian, he thought about it carefully. During this period of time, only Long Xiaotian was the biggest suspect.    

Although he didn't think that Old Liu and Old Xu were from the Tiantan, these two weren't greedy people. With their status, why would they do such a thing?    

And Long Xiaotian wasn't on good terms with him. If he had such a mysterious method, he would definitely use it to take revenge on him!    

As for whether or not he would use this kind of method, he didn't care. No matter what, he had to ask this guy!    

Long Xiaotian understood when he heard it. He said with a gloomy face, "Third Brother, what do you mean by this? Tell me clearly what happened first!"    

Long Yaotian said fiercely, "Didn't you use some means to absorb all the essence of the resources in my prefecture?"    

Long Xiaotian sneered and said, "Bring out the proof! People still need a proof in a lawsuit. You can't just say whatever you want without any evidence, right? Just because I walked around your place? "    

Long Yaotian's mouth was wide open. In fact, it was just his intuition. He felt that if not Long Xiaotian, no one would have the courage and suspicion. How could he have the evidence?    

Long Yaotian was stunned for a moment. "You, you really didn't do anything in my prefecture? Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with you?"    

Long Xiaotian said angrily, "Could it be that brother is such a person?"    

You are, you are, you are this kind of person! Long Yaotian believed that it must be Long Xiaotian's doing, but he had no evidence, so there was nothing he could do about Long Xiaotian.    

"Alright, even if this matter has nothing to do with you, there is still one more thing that I need to bring you here." Long Yaotian said coldly.    

"Speak. I still have something to do in Second Brother's Prefecture. Don't delay me for too long." Long Xiaotian said impatiently.    

Long Yaotian harrumphed coldly. Although he didn't go to the Golden Hall, he knew everything that happened in the Golden Hall like the back of his hand.    

Initially, he was surprised and happy when he heard that Heavenly Dragon and Long Xiaotian were confronting each other.    

It wasn't that he wasn't scheming. He naturally knew that if the two of them were to confront each other, he would have a higher chance of getting promoted.
