Apart from that, Meng Jueguang felt that it was impossible to hide something as big as the Spiritual Jade on one's body without anyone noticing. Moreover, no one could find it no matter how hard they searched, unless they ate it. But if one ate the Spiritual Jade directly, even a cultivator would die if they swallowed something indigestible.
Meng Jueguang would never have thought that Lin Yi had a jade space that could store things. And at this moment, the two pieces of Spiritual Jade were lying quietly in his jade space.
"Senior Meng, do you still want to search? I don't care. You can search as much as you want, as long as you can prove my innocence in the end! "Lin Yi looked at the ashen-faced Meng Jueguang and continued to say innocently.
Could it be that this kid had never seen the two pieces of Spiritual Jade at all, so he was so fearless?
Meng Jueguang looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. Suddenly, he thought of another more likely possibility. Such a big piece of Spiritual Jade would definitely not disappear into thin air. Since it could not be found on Lin Yi, it must have been taken away by someone else!
"No need. Junior Lin, you are innocent. You are an upright person. Don't be angry. I am just doing my job! Let's go to other caves and search again! " Looking at Lin Yi's indifferent expression at the moment, Meng Jueguang felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. Moreover, it was the kind of big fly that was stuck on cow dung all day long!
"Ah? Go to other caves and search? " Meng Tong and Li Zhengming looked at each other. It turned out that there was no such step in the plan. But looking at Meng Jueguang's extremely ugly expression at the moment, the two of them did not dare to say anything more. They hurriedly responded and went out.
Searching all the caves one by one, Meng Jueguang had no other choice. After all, the previous words had been released. He had to first check his own people. Now that there was nothing fishy on Lin Yi's body. In order to be fair, even if it was just a formality, they had to search the others as well.
What's more, after thinking about the idea that had just popped up, Meng Jueguang was indeed suspicious of the other newcomers present. Previously, when Meng Tong had placed the Spiritual Jades into Lin Yi's cave abode, he had been discovered by someone and had secretly taken away the two pieces of Spiritual Jades. This was not impossible!
However, after carefully searching all the other rookies and their cave abodes, he paid special attention to the two accomplices of Lin Yi, Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai. The two pieces of Spirit Jade were still nowhere to be seen, not even the slightest trace could be found.
This time, Meng Jueguang was really in a difficult position. He tried so hard to trick Lin Yi, but he failed. Instead, he lost Meng Tong and Li Zhengming's spiritual jades. This was simply going for wool and coming home shorn.
However, even though he was in a bad mood, he still had to say some polite words. Meng Jueguang could only bite the bullet and say, "Very good. Since there are no problems after checking our own people, as the Eldest Senior Brother in charge, I am very pleased. I will report the matter of the theft of the Spiritual Jades to the Pavilion Master to continue investigating. All of you are dismissed. Do what you need to do!"
When everyone heard that, they could only disperse. They did not see the good show that they had imagined. At this moment, all of them still looked like they had not had enough.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Bitter Guy, you should fix up the forbidden spells of the three of them." Meng Jueguang casually instructed. Following that, he pulled Meng Tong and Li Zhengming to the side with a gloomy expression. From his point of view, today's matter had most likely landed on his own people!
Meng Tong and Li Zhengming followed Meng Jueguang to an empty corner and said with a bitter expression, "Ninth Cousin, what should we do now? What are we going to do now? We didn't get Lin Yi, but we lost our spirit jades! How are we going to train from now on?! "
When Meng Jueguang heard that, he stared coldly at Meng Tong and said with a fierce expression, "Meng Tong, I will give you a chance. Tell me honestly, did you stuff your own pockets with the two Spiritual Jades? You didn't put the Spiritual Jades in Lin Yi's cave abode, did you? "
"Ah?" Meng Tong was depressed at this time. When he heard Meng Jueguang's words, he was shocked. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ninth Cousin, how can you say that? Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
"You don't look like it, but now the two Spiritual Jades have disappeared for no reason. Lin Yi didn't have it, nor did anyone else. Then I can only think of the last possibility. That is, you did something to stuff your own pockets!" Meng Jueguang said sharply.
Although Li Zhengming was also a participant in the plan to kill Lin Yi, he only provided a piece of Spiritual Jades from the beginning to the end. Meng Jueguang took advantage of the opportunity when Lin Yi left to secretly destroy the Forbidden Spell of Lin Yi's cave abode. In the end, the person who was really responsible for putting the Spiritual Jades was Meng Tong. If there was really a traitor, Meng Tong was the most likely!
Meng Tong was so scared that he wanted to cry but had no tears, "Ninth Cousin, you can't wrong me like this. I really didn't steal the Hidden Spiritual Jades. If you don't believe me, you can search me!"
Meng Jueguang glanced at Li Zhengming. Li Zhengming immediately understood and searched Meng Tong's body. After searching him up and down, he didn't find any Spiritual Jades.
Seeing this, Meng Jueguang's eyes couldn't help but soften a little. Meng Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he heard Li Zhengming still have some doubts, "Could it be hidden somewhere else outside?"
"Li Zhengming, what do you mean? Even you dare to doubt me? " Meng Tong was suddenly angry. He grabbed Li Zhengming's collar and growled, "You want to provoke me and Ninth Cousin, and then benefit from it, right?!"
"No, no, Tong, listen to me. I'm just a little unwilling to lose the Spiritual Jades. I really didn't mean to doubt you!" Li Zhengming hurriedly explained, but as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew except him.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Zhengming's words, Meng Jueguang looked at Meng Tong with a sharp gaze again. Meng Tong saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly threw away Li Zhengming and explained, "Ninth Cousin, one of the two pieces of Spiritual Jades is my own. Do you think I will betray you for greed of Li Zhengming's half-used Spiritual Jades? Even if I am stupid, I will never do such a stupid thing! "
"That's true." Meng Jueguang nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't believe in Meng Tong's character, it was not worthwhile to betray him just for greed for half a piece of Spiritual Jades. After all, with the relationship between Meng Tong and himself, it would be easy to get more Spiritual Jades in the future. There was no need to take such a risk.
"So, I think it is very likely that an outsider sneaked in during the time we went to the market. After all, this cave house's Forbidden Curse is gone. It would be easy to steal the two pieces of Spiritual Jades!" Meng Tong quickly struck while the iron was hot, for fear that Meng Jueguang would continue to doubt him.
