Beauty and the Bodyguard

In addition, Meng jueguang felt that it was impossible to hide something as large as the spiritual Jade on one's body without anyone knowing, and that it would not be found no matter how hard one searched. The only way was to eat it. However, if one ate the spiritual Jade directly, even if it was an undigested item, it would still kill one.

Meng jueguang would never have guessed that Lin Yi had a Jade space on him that could store things, and the two pieces of jade were just sitting there quietly.

"Senior brother Meng, do you want to continue searching? I don't care, you can search as you wish, as long as you can prove my innocence in the end!" Lin Yi said innocently as he looked at the pale-faced man.

Could it be that this kid had never seen the two pieces of spiritual Jade before, and that was why he was so fearless?

Meng jueguang looked at Lin Yi suspiciously and suddenly thought of a bigger possibility. The two pieces of spiritual Jade couldn't have disappeared on their own, and since they couldn't be found on Lin Yi, they must have been taken by someone else!

"There's no need for that. Junior Brother Lin, you're innocent. You're an upright person, so don't be angry. Let's go to the other caves and search!" Looking at Lin Yi's calm expression, Meng jueguang felt as disgusted as if he'd eaten a fly-the type of big fly that would fly on cow dung all day!

"Ah? Search the other abodes?" Meng Tong and Li Zhengming looked at each other. It turned out that this was not part of the plan. However, when they saw Meng jueguang's extremely ugly expression at the moment, the two did not dare to say anything more and quickly responded and left.

Meng jueguang had no other choice but to search through every single one of their residences. After all, they'd already said that they'd search their own people first, and now that they didn't find anything suspicious on Lin Yi, they'd have to search everyone else as well, even if it was just for show.

Moreover, after thinking about this idea, Meng jueguang was indeed suspicious of the other newbies. It was not impossible for Meng Tongzhi to be found out when he went to Lin Yi's cave to put the spiritual jades, and then the two pieces of spiritual jades were stolen!

However, after searching all the other newbies and their caves, especially Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai, Lin Yi's two accomplices, the two spiritual jades were still nowhere to be found.

This time, Meng jueguang was really in a difficult position. He tried so hard to trick Lin Yi, but he didn't succeed. Instead, he lost Meng Tong and Li Zhengming's spiritual jades. It was like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

However, even though he was in a bad mood, he still had to say some polite words. Meng jueguang could only brace himself and say,"Very good, we've finished the investigation and there are no problems. As the eldest senior brother in charge, I'm very pleased. I'll report the theft of the spiritual Jade to the pavilion master to continue the investigation. All of you can go back to your own work!"

Hearing this, everyone could only disperse one after another. They didn't see the good show they had imagined. At this time, each of their faces still looked as if they had not had enough.

"Poor Junior Brother, you should help the three of them with their forbidden spells." Meng jueguang casually ordered. Then, he pulled Meng Tong and Lee Zhengming to the side with a gloomy face. In his opinion, today's incident was definitely caused by his own people!

Meng Tong and his companion followed Meng jueguang to an empty corner. With a bitter expression, they asked,"Ninth cousin, what do we do now? we didn't get Lin Yi, and we've lost our own spirit Jade. How are we supposed to cultivate now?"

Hearing this, Meng jueguang stared coldly at Meng Tong and said with a fierce expression,"Meng Tong, I'll give you a chance to be honest. Did you embezzle the two pieces of spiritual Jade? You didn't even put the spirit Jade in Lin Yi's cave, did you?"

"Ah?" Meng Tong, who had been dejected at the moment, was startled by Meng jueguang's words. He quickly waved his hand and said,"Ninth cousin brother, what are you saying? do I look like that kind of person?"

"You don't look like it, but now that the two spiritual jades are gone for no reason, and neither Lin Yi nor anyone else has them, I can only think of one last possibility-you did something to them and pocketed them!" Meng jueguang sternly said.

Although li Zhengming was one of the participants in the plan to kill Lin Yi, he only provided a piece of spiritual Jade from the beginning to the end. Meng jueguang took advantage of the fact that Lin Yi left first to secretly destroy the forbidden spell of Lin Yi's cave. In the end, the real person responsible for putting the spiritual Jade in was Meng Tong. If there was really a mole, Meng Tong was the most likely!

"Ninth cousin, you can't accuse me like this! I really didn't hide the spiritual Jade! If you don't believe me, you can search me!" Meng Tong was so scared that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Meng jueguang shot a glance at li Zhengming, and the latter immediately understood and searched Meng Tong's body. After a thorough search, he did not find any spiritual Jade.

Seeing this, Meng jueguang's expression softened a little, and Meng Tong finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, he heard Lee Zhengming's suspicious voice,"Could they be hiding somewhere else outside?"

"Lee Zheng Ming, what do you mean? Even you dare to doubt me?" Meng Tong was instantly enraged. He grabbed Lee Zhengming by the collar and roared,"You want to sow discord between me and ninth cousin brother and then benefit from it, don't you?"

"No, no, brother Tong, listen to me. I'm just a little unwilling to lose my spiritual Jade. I really didn't mean to doubt you!" Lee Zheng Ming quickly explained, but as for what he was thinking, no one knew except himself.

Sure enough, after hearing li Zhengming's words, Meng jueguang looked at Meng Tong with a sharp gaze. Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Tong quickly threw li Zhengming aside and explained,"Ninth cousin, one of the two spiritual jades is mine. Do you think I would betray you just to steal the spiritual Jade that Lee Zhengming used? No matter how stupid I am, I would never do such a stupid thing!"

"That's true," Meng jueguang nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't believe in Meng Tong's character, it wasn't worth it to say that Meng Tong would betray him for the sake of half a piece of spiritual Jade. After all, with Meng Tong's relationship with him, it would be easy for him to get more spiritual Jade in the future. There was no need to take such a risk.

"That's why I think it's very likely that an outsider sneaked in while we were at the market. After all, the forbidden spell in this immortal's cave is gone, so it would be a piece of cake for them to steal the two spiritual jades!" Meng Tong quickly struck while the iron was hot, afraid that Meng jueguang would continue to suspect him.

"That's possible. " Meng jueguang pinched his chin as he nodded. However, if that was the case, then this matter would be very difficult to investigate. The possibility of getting back the two pieces of spiritual Jade was extremely slim and could be ignored. (To be continued.)
