Chapter 3946: Meng jueguang’s suspicion
Translator: 549690339
This guess was bold and bizarre, but it was not entirely impossible.
Meng jueguang knew that the spirit Jade Hall had a special method to transfer spiritual energy into useless Jade and turn it into a treasure. However, this process was extremely long and would take at least several hundred years.
The world was full of wonders and cultivators were all wise and resourceful. Since there was a precedent of the spirit Jade Hall, it might seem unreliable to charge the spirit Jade in a short time, but it was not entirely impossible.
If that was really the case, then the meaning that this spiritual Jade represented really needed to be carefully thought over.
“Boss, where did you get this spiritual Jade?” Meng jueguang asked.
The stall owner looked at him in confusion and said,””The customer just now gave it to me.”
As expected, it was him! This answer caused Meng jueguang’s heart to tremble. Now, he finally realized that this person had looked very familiar at first sight, because he had seen this person before!
When Yu Zhe had come out to look for Lin er, he had a portrait of Lin er in his hands. Although it was somewhat different from the real person, the general outline was correct. Meng jueguang happened to have carefully looked at this portrait.
In other words, the guy he mistook as Lin Yi was the Lin er that the southern Heaven Gate and Yu Zhe were looking for!
What made Meng jueguang even more suspicious was the fact that Lin er had his weird spiritual Jade on him. It was supposed to be in Lin Yi’s hands-what did this mean?
In addition, in order to find this Lin er, Yu Zhe had run to the welcoming new pavilion several times. The truth behind this had already been revealed.
Meng jueguang was at least 70% sure that Lin Yi and Lin er were the same person, only that they had changed their appearance through some kind of method!
In the world of cultivation, it was not uncommon to change one’s appearance. In addition to the use of props such as human skin masks, even some obscure martial arts techniques could achieve the same effect.
Even Meng jueguang himself found this speculation hard to believe, but if he thought about it carefully, he would realize that all the previous signs were corroborating with each other!
Just the fact that a useless Jade with thin spiritual energy had suddenly become a good Jade with abundant spiritual energy was enough to explain Meng jueguang’s doubts.
Although it was Meng jueguang himself who had mocked Meng Tong and the others at the beginning, using the despicable method of exchanging useless Jade for good Jade to trick Lin Yi, and because of the repeated success of the same method, Meng jueguang was secretly pleased and thought that Lin Yi was an idiot who couldn’t even tell the difference between good Jade and useless Jade.
But after that, he’d stumbled time and time again at Lin Yi’s hands. He’d even watched Lin Yi grow into a master that even he himself was scared of. Meng jueguang couldn’t help but wonder if Lin Yi, a legendary newcomer, was really stupid. Force?
If Lin Yi really was an idiot … If he was a B * stard, how could he have come to this point? and what was Meng jueguang? Even a F * ck could step on his sh * t and pee?
For this kind of thing, even if one used their toes to think, they would know that there must be a hidden story.
Only a brainless idiot like Meng Tong would think that Lin Yi was a lucky idiot. But he, Meng jueguang, was a smart man. Even if he had been momentarily carried away, he would naturally come back to his senses after a long time.
Now that she thought about it, trading useless Jade for good Jade was exactly what Lin Yi wanted. It was clear that this guy was the one who had been luring them to give him useless Jade all this time.
Otherwise, even if Lin Yi really did something stupid, the people around him would’ve stopped him long ago if they realized something was wrong. They couldn’t just let him be until now, not caring at all.
For a normal person, using one’s own good Jade to exchange for someone else’s useless Jade, even if it could be exchanged for more, that was still an out-and-out prodigal.
But Lin Yi was obviously different-if his guess was right, he should have a way to quickly recharge the Jade!
This was the only way to explain why the spiritual Jade in Meng jueguang’s hand had turned from a useless piece of Jade to a good piece of Jade. This was the only way to explain why the crude trick of exchanging useless Jade for good Jade, which could be seen through by ordinary people at a glance, could succeed again and again.
This was all Lin Yi’s doing, waiting for them to come and give him useless Jade.
They were still gloating at first, thinking that they’d gotten a huge advantage from Lin Yi, but now that they thought about it, they’d been played in the palm of this guy from the start!
Now that he’d put everything together, the truth was clear-even if there were still some doubts, they’d only need further confirmation. From what Meng Jue could see, the fact that Lin Yi was Lin er was a fact!
“Hehe, today’s trip to the market City was not in vain!” Having thought this through, Meng jueguang couldn’t help but sneer.
Originally, he’d already planned on making peace with Lin Yi because of Lin Yi’s overbearing behavior-after all, a wise man submits to circumstances. This was something he couldn’t do anything about. Lin Yi’s strength now was so strong that even he, Meng jueguang, was scared witless. What else could he do?
Now that things had come to this, it was unrealistic for him to expect his men to kill Lin Yi. Whether it was Meng Tong or Murong Zhen, they were far from being Lin Yi’s opponent.
Meng jueguang was a smart man, after all-he’d realized that if he and Lin Yi continued fighting, he’d be the one to suffer.
Meng Tong had already escaped death once, and if he were to do it again, he’d probably be dead by then. If things really did develop to that point, Meng jueguang would be in a completely passive position. Even if he became the third Pavilion master, he wouldn’t be able to suppress the overbearing Lin Yi if he didn’t have anyone under him. His situation might be even worse than Lu bianren ‘s!
And so, he’d decided to play along with Lin Yi for now-as long as the situation was under control, he didn’t mind losing face a little. He’d settle the score with Lin Yi after he’d secured his position as the 3rd house master.
It was precisely because of this consideration and plan that he’d been so polite when he’d met Lin Yi at the market, even calling him “young hero Lin”-it was clear how empty his heart was right now.
