Soon, the front line arrived. After Lei Ming received the benefits, his eyes narrowed with laughter. He patted his shoulder and motioned to wait for him nearby.
Xu nodded and walked up.
"Identity card." A young waiter sat inside the door window, without raising his head or opening his eyes, and said in a stiff and formulaic manner.
Xu You took out the jade identification tag and put it in the window.
The young man reached for the jade token, took a look at it, and was about to distribute the elixir. Suddenly he was startled, looked at the name on it, and then threw the identity jade token out and shouted: "Next one."
Xu You was stunned: "You haven't paid me any benefits yet."
The young man said without raising his head: "You have no benefits, take the jade token away, next one."
Xu You's expression changed: "Why didn't I?"
The waiter said impatiently: "Get out of the way and call the next one. Didn't you see that I'm busy?"
"You didn't give me benefits and you didn't explain why. I can't get out of the way." Xu You said with a stern face.
The young man was extremely busy and his temper was irritated. He stood up suddenly and shouted: "If I say no, it means no. What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of the way, don't delay me from giving benefits to other people."
His voice was so loud that the other disciples' eyes immediately turned around. The Alchemy Courtyard was originally full of noise, but suddenly it became silent.
"What's going on?" Lei Ming was startled and walked over quickly.
"He doesn't pay me benefits. I don't know what's going on." Xu You frowned slightly and pointed at the guy.
"Are you mistaken? He is new here and is receiving benefits for the first time. He is indeed a child of the Lei family, and he has an identity card. We can all prove it."
Lei Ming thought that the guy didn't send it because he didn't know Xu You, so he quickly explained.
When the clerk saw a Lei family member coming forward, he couldn't get angry for a moment and gave Xu You a cold look: "Isn't your name Xu You? Our shopkeeper said that you have no benefits and you won't be able to receive them in the future.
"
"Why are you doing this?" Xu You's face looked ugly.
"Why for what reason? If there's no, there's no." The waiter said expressionlessly, "You don't have to ask anymore. There are many people waiting behind you. Can you afford to waste everyone's time?"
"I am a child of the Lei family, and I deserve the benefits. What right do you have to deny them to me?" Xu You said angrily.
The guy laughed dumbly: "I just won't say it, what can you do?"
Lei Ming's face also darkened. Although Zidi and Danyuan are two different departments, and they should not offend the God of Wealth, this guy was too unreasonable, and he immediately aroused anger in his heart.
"If you don't pay and don't explain, you are deliberately withholding the benefits of your children. Not only are you derelict in your duties, but you are also deliberately making things difficult for your children. We will file a complaint and report it to the elders. You will not be able to eat this bowl of rice." He said coldly.
"How dare you embarrass brother Xu You? Damn it, we were so unhappy just looking at your poker face when we were receiving welfare benefits. How dare you not say it? Why don't you say it?" said Lei, a good friend of Xu You.
The disciple stood up and said loudly.
"These benefits are what the children should get. You, a fellow, are not even spiritual practitioners. What qualifications do you have to withhold brother Xu You's benefits? Who do you think you are if you dare to point fingers?" Another Lei family member who was close to him sneered.
"Let me tell you, although brother Xu You is new here, he is our brother. If you don't give him welfare today, or you give an explanation, you will not be able to continue to do so." Another thunderbolt.
The son of the family said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Go to the great elder and file a complaint against him. Just say that he is withholding the benefits of his children privately, leaving them with no money to eat!" Another Lei family disciple said loudly.
The other children of the Lei family also started to drink and surrounded the window. The noise was quite loud for a while.
They had been on very good terms with Xu You these days, and when they saw Xu You being embarrassed, they immediately stood up.
The boys with a foreign surname looked on with cold eyes, while Liu Zhen and others had expressions of gloating on their faces.
The guy didn't expect so many Lei family disciples to speak for Xu You, and there were many senior disciples, so he was immediately panicked.
Especially when he heard that one of his disciples was going to sue him for maliciously withholding welfare benefits, he suddenly became frightened. How could he dare to have any temper? He said with a sad face: "I really didn't withhold his welfare. It was our shopkeeper Zhang who refused to give it out. Why didn't I?"
I know, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
He walked out of the window, bowed to everyone, bowed deeply to Xu You, apologized profusely, and barely even knelt on the ground to kowtow.
Everyone looked at him with a dark face, knowing that this guy was just following orders, so it was hard to scold him anymore.
"Find your shopkeeper and let him explain this matter." Lei Ming shouted.
"Yes, yes, I'll go there." The man cried and trotted towards the backyard.
"Xu You, don't worry, my buddies will make the decision for you, and you won't lose any benefits." Lei Ming patted Xu You on the shoulder and said coldly.
Several other Lei family members also came over to comfort him.
Xu nodded, showing that he didn't care, but there was a solemn thought in his heart.
"This matter is obviously aimed at me. It's my first time to receive benefits, and I don't know this guy or the shopkeeper. How could they make things difficult for me?"
"Obviously, someone was behind it and deliberately targeted me."
"There are only a few members of the Lei family who have issues with me. Liu Zhen and the others are just disciples and are unlikely to interfere with the Alchemy Academy. The person who gave the instruction must be a core disciple of the Lei family and has a strong influence."
"Then besides the number one core disciple of the Lei family, Mr. Lei Donglei, who else can target me like this..."
"Lei Dong, I don't know where I offended you and made you dislike me so much. Is it just because I said something against you that you keep trying to suppress me again and again?"
"Fortunately, it was you who broke the rules first, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bear this punishment."
Xu You thought to himself, feeling angry and muttering to himself.
"What did you say?" Lei Ming didn't hear clearly and looked at him doubtfully.
"Nothing." Xu You shook his head, and suddenly his heart moved, "Is this shopkeeper Zhang the thundering distant cousin Zhang Guixi you told me about before? Because he committed a crime and was greedy for too many pills, he had problems with his cultivation and stayed here.
In the early stage of your spiritual body, you can't make any progress, so you work as a shopkeeper distributing welfare in the alchemy courtyard?"
"It's not him." Lei Ming sneered, "It was because he took too many pills that he had problems with his cultivation. Let such a greedy person be the shopkeeper, huh... I really don't know what to think.
.”
Although he was dissatisfied, his tone was rather vague. He obviously knew that it was because of Lei Dong that Zhang Guixi became the treasurer of the Danyuan. However, Lei Dong was the number one among the core disciples, so he did not dare to complain publicly.
Xu Xu nodded, already feeling confident.
He silently unfolded his spiritual consciousness, taking in the entire Alchemy Academy in an instant, and then showed an expression that was indeed like this.
Afterwards, Xu You thought for a moment, and then quietly dispersed his spiritual consciousness.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and the young man had already returned, but he was following behind a middle-aged fat man. He covered his face with his hands, his face was red, and he followed suit, as if he had just been beaten.
The fat middle-aged man was tall and had a sinewy face. He didn't look like a shopkeeper, but rather like a fat nouveau riche.
Seeing Lei Ming and other disciples forming a circle with unkind expressions on their faces, the middle-aged fat man's eyes flashed with coldness, then he put on a smile and cupped his hands and said: "Masters, I know what you mean, but before we resolve this matter,
Can you please let the guys finish distributing the benefits to other children first, without wasting their time, and then we can talk about it."
Liu Zhen hugged his arms and sneered: "Because he is alone, we have been waiting for a long time. Which is more important, his own affairs or everyone's time."
"First distribute the benefits to us, and then you can resolve the matter between you as you like." The mediocre woman said dissatisfiedly.
Lei Ming and others looked at each other and felt that what Zhang Guixi said was reasonable, and it was indeed inconvenient to have so many people here. Anyway, it was impossible for the Danyuan not to provide Xu You with benefits, but it would be delayed.
"What do you think, Xu You, do you want others to take the lead?" Lei Ming asked Xu You hesitantly.
"No." Xu You shook his head without even thinking.
He looked at Zhang Guixi, raised his voice, and said slowly, "You must first solve the problem of why I was not given benefits, and then you can give benefits to other children. Because it is not us who are delaying the time, but you. This mistake cannot be caused by
We'll take the responsibility."
This Zhang Guixi is very cunning. He seems to be reasonable and thinks of everyone, but in fact he is putting the blame on Xu You and others. But the other disciples will not be grateful for this, so Xu You naturally cannot agree.
Everyone was shocked, and then they came to their senses and secretly said they were lucky that they almost fell into the trap of this damn fat man.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, you speak very well. You almost got us all involved, but I'd better ask you to solve Xu You's problem first." Lei Ming said calmly.
The other disciples also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, they realized that Danyuan was indeed unreasonable and there was no reason for Xu You and the others to back down.
Zhang Guixi's idea didn't succeed. His fat face trembled and then sank. He looked at Xu You with his small eyes: "You must be the new kid Xu You. You are really having fun. I heard that not long ago you made a big splash among the kids with a foreign surname.
It’s such a mess, why do you want to cause trouble in my alchemy courtyard now?”
Xu You slapped a big hat on him when he saw that he had turned against him. Knowing that he wanted to change the subject, he smiled lightly: "This has nothing to do with you, and I didn't make any trouble. I just want you to give me an explanation, why don't you pay me benefits according to regulations?"
Zhang Guixi sneered and said: "I didn't want to say this originally because I was afraid that I would lose face if I said it in public, but since you are so aggressive, I will tell you why."
