"Oh? You're really tired, huh? Then does that mean you also won't be able to carry away all that money later? Great Immortal, how about this—since the issue has been resolved and Taishang Laojun has seen the villagers' sincerity, could you follow the list and return the money and goods to the villagers?" My brain was rapidly spinning, and I followed up on what the Great Immortal had said.
Despite money not being very useful to the villagers, it comes in handy if they ever need to leave the village for something; after all, no money, no moves, and without money, you can't even afford a meal.
When I mentioned the money, the Great Immortal's body involuntarily shuddered, but he quickly regained his composure. It looked like I had hit a sore spot. He had gone through so much trouble for this charade—wasn't it all to take those things away, especially that large gold ingot?
