Chapter 3587: Framing up
Translator: 549690339
So that was how it was! Lin Yi’s mouth couldn’t help but curve up a little. He already knew what the other party was up to. No wonder Meng jueguang and the others were talking about something fishy, and specifically said that stealing in the pavilion would cripple the meridians of one hand and one foot. They were trying to frame Lin Yi!
“Who else is there?” Meng jueguang shouted at the top of his lungs again.
After checking the cave, the newcomers shook their heads. Their forbidden spells were still intact, and nothing was lost inside. They heaved a sigh of relief and looked relaxed as if they were watching a show.
This was how the cultivation world was like. If it didn’t concern them, they would just leave it be. Whoever lost it would be the unlucky one. It was fine as long as they didn’t lose it.
Not only that, but even though Meng Tong and Li Zhengming weren’t as prominent as Lin Yi, they were still people that Meng jueguang paid special attention to. It would be a lie to say that the other newbies weren’t envious or jealous at all when they saw them take away such a good cave and spiritual Jade. At this time, all of them were gloating over Lin Yi’s misfortune.
Gloating my ass, a bunch of fools who were being played around with but didn’t know it!
Meng Tong cursed under his breath. He made up his mind that after he took care of Lin Yi, he would take care of this bunch of blind people too. He would let them see who the real boss was!
“It seems that no one else has been robbed, right?” Meng jueguang deliberately swept his gaze around. Seeing that no one was speaking, he loudly said,”The theft of a spiritual Jade is no small matter! According to the rules of our Welcome Pavilion, this matter must be thoroughly investigated from the beginning, and the suspect must be caught and severely punished!”
“Senior brother Meng is wise. You have to catch this damned thief and give us Justice!” Meng Tong and Li Zhengming immediately cooperated and shouted in unison.
“Hmph, no Rascal has ever been able to fool me, Meng jueguang!” Meng jueguang’s lips twitched as he snorted coldly, then turned to the crowd and said,”First of all, I can be sure that since this thief stole spiritual Jade and specifically targeted Meng Tong and Li Zhengming, he must be familiar with you guys.”
The rookies looked at each other and only reacted after a moment, nodding their heads.
Among all the rookies, Meng Tong and Lee Zhengming had the largest spiritual jades. This was something that all the rookies present knew. However, it was unlikely that outsiders other than them knew about this. It was too much of a coincidence to say that it was purely a blind cat that had picked the two cave abodes of Meng Tong and Lee Zhengming by pure luck!
Could it be that the real culprit who stole the spiritual Jade was among the newcomers?
The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, only they would know who had the biggest spiritual Jade. Besides, only newcomers like them who were extremely short of cultivation resources would take such a risk for one or two pieces of spiritual Jade, right?
Having successfully stirred up everyone’s doubts, Meng jueguang smiled proudly and then pretended to be fair.”As your eldest senior brother in charge, from my heart, I absolutely believe that every single one of you is a man of good character and will never tarnish the reputation of our GreenCloud Pavilion. However, since such a thing has happened, before we investigate the outsiders, we must first be upright and upright. Only if there’s no problem on our side will we have the confidence to investigate the outsiders. Don’t you think so?”
“Senior brother Meng is right!” The group of newbies responded in unison. If he didn’t do anything wrong, he wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. In any case, they weren’t the ones who had done this, so Meng Jue could investigate however he wanted to. Perhaps there really would be a show to watch.
“That’s good. Let’s start with our own people!” Meng jueguang smiled smugly and deliberately analyzed,”Your caves” curses are theoretically strong enough to block a Sky Class late phase Peak’s full force attack-in other words, to break the curses of Meng Tong and Li Zhengming’s caves, you’d need to be at least a Foundation Stage practitioner. But, those Sky Class late phase peak Masters might be able to do it too …”
As soon as he said that, all the newbies “suspicious eyes fell on Lin Yi, who was standing at the entrance of cave No. 14. There were only three people at the peak of the Sky Class in the entire GreenCloud Pavilion-other than Meng Tong, there were only Lin Yi and Xiao ran from the secular world.
Xiao ran had always been quiet, and people didn’t pay much attention to him, but Lin Yi had become the focus of everyone on the first day, and his hatred for Meng Tong was even deeper. Now that there was a problem, the first person to be suspected was naturally him!
“Junior Brother Lin, I’m not picking on you. I have a reason for this. I believe you can understand!” Meng jueguang walked up to Lin Yi with his men, a smile on his face.”Moreover, your cave is the closest to Meng Tong ‘s, so it’s reasonable for us to suspect you.”
Xiao ran, Qiao hongcai, and the others wanted to stop him, but they didn’t know how. They couldn’t stop Meng jueguang from searching, could they? they wouldn’t be helping Lin Yi, they would be harming him! This was simply three hundred taels of silver without any evidence!
Fortunately, Lin Yi gave them a reassuring look, which made them feel more at ease.
With Lin Yi’s personality, he wouldn’t do something so shameless and brainless!
“Of course I can understand.” Lin Yi nodded faintly,”But senior brother Meng, I didn’t have time to tell you that my cave abode’s forbidden spell has also been broken by someone.”
The crowd burst into an uproar again-if even Lin Yi’s cave was destroyed, then things were getting complicated.
“Your cave abode’s forbidden spell was also broken by someone?” Meng jueguang raised his eyebrows and sneered,”Did Junior Brother Lin also lose something?”
“Not really. I don’t have anything valuable to lose here. Besides, unlike Meng Tong and the others, my spiritual Jade is small, but it’s easy to carry around.”
Lin Yi’s tone was as calm as usual, but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words. This was something that all the newbies agreed with. After all, Meng jueguang’s favoritism was too obvious when it came to the distribution of the spirit Jade. Lin Yi wasn’t the only victim-even the newbies were unhappy.
They were all newbies, so why did Meng Tong and the others get the largest amount of spiritual Jade, while they got the smaller amount?
It wasn’t easy to build up his prestige, but one sentence from Lin Yi was enough to make it crumble! Meng jueguang’s face stiffened and he coldly snorted, “There’s always good or bad luck, but if Junior Brother Lin feels that the amount of spirit Jade he gets is too small and takes a risk, then don’t blame me for not being polite! Don’t you want to find the spiritual Jade? hurry up and search!”
