He couldn't think of a way himself, and as for Meng Tong, that brainless idiot, he naturally couldn't count on him.
The two of them walked out of Mine No.10 with frowns on their faces. Meng Jueguang was just about to find Dai Wuchang to exchange a contract for Mine No.7 for Meng Tong when he unexpectedly saw two familiar figures at the door, Kang Ming Ming and Zhong Pingliang.
These two weren't only disciples of Soaring Pavilion, but they were also Xu Lingchong's direct subordinates. They could be considered to be in the limelight among all the newcomers.
Especially Kang Ming Ming, under Young Master Xu's special care, he had almost locked onto the position of the newcomer deacon. According to Meng Jueguang's observation, this person was quite scheming. Recently, he had been running to Jade Spirit Hall very frequently, presumably also thinking about the spirit jades in the mine.
Meng Jueguang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Right, these two were also Lin Yi's sworn enemies, and there was a deep hatred in the secular world. If he could ask them to help him deal with Lin Yi, they should be more than willing! Perhaps, they knew Lin Yi better, and might have some good ideas!
Thinking of this, Meng Jueguang hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Junior Brother Kang, Junior Brother Zhong, I didn't expect to meet you two here, what a coincidence."
"Yo, if it isn't Senior Brother Meng!" Kang Ming Ming and Zhong Pingliang looked at each other and responded with a smile.
Although the disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion naturally looked down on the people of the Clear Cloud Pavilion, Meng Jueguang was still the senior brother in charge of the Welcoming Pavilion, and his subordinate was also in charge of Lin Yi. Xu Lingchong, the young master of the Xu family, seemed to have some admiration for him, and so Kang Zhaoming wanted to make friends with him. As for Zhong Pingliang, he would follow whatever Kang Ming Ming did, determined not to fall behind.
The few of them exchanged greetings, and Meng Jueguang immediately asked, "Junior brothers, are you preparing to go to the mines?"
"Not bad, newbies like us aren't as free as you, Senior Brother Meng. Other than digging for spirit jades, there are no other good ways," Kang Ming Ming replied with a smile.
"Heh, Junior Brother Kang, your words are too modest! Not only are you two disciples of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, but you are also Young Master Xu's most valued subordinates. Even if you go down to the mines, it will definitely be the first mining area. Digging up thirty or forty pieces of good jade a day is an easy thing to do. Even a Senior Brother like me is somewhat envious of you. If you still call yourself a little newbie, then it will be a bit unreasonable! "
Meng Jueguang's words were just a compliment, but Meng Tong, who was next to him, couldn't hide the envy in his eyes as he looked at the two of them. What did it mean to dig up thirty or forty pieces of good jade a day? This meant that a day's worth of work was equivalent to five days of work for him. They could get a spirit jade for three to four days, it was really infuriating!
"Not at all." After noticing Meng Tong's envious gaze, Kang Ming looked humble, but he was actually quite proud of himself.
It could be seen that it was the right decision to cling onto Xu Lingchong's thigh when they first teleported to this island. Otherwise, if they were sent to a place like Blue Cloud Pavilion, working hard for a day and only getting five to six pieces of jade, that would be really miserable! Of course, if they were targeted like Lin Yi, it would be even more miserable!
But if Kang Ming Ming knew that he, a key newbie in Mine One, could only earn one piece of spirit jade after working hard for three to four days … And Lin Yi could steal at least two pieces of spirit jade any day, with almost no risk at all. Would he be jealous to death?
Of course, according to Kang Ming Ming's natural disposition of liking to take shortcuts. Although his current excellent environment was already enviable, he himself would not be satisfied with honestly digging for jade. Therefore, a few days ago, he dragged Xu Lingchong around to build up his network so that he could find an opportunity to fill his pockets after building up his network. This was in line with his nature.
It was just that Spirit Jade Hall's supervision was strict. Even if he clung onto Xu Lingchong, this thick thigh, it would not be easy for Kang Ming Ming to achieve this step.
One must know that even Meng Jueguang, this senior with deep qualifications, did not dare to rashly lay hands on good jade with his current network. He could only wait for the opportunity to embezzle some scrap jade. Apart from being able to exchange these scrap jade for some meager remuneration, even if he managed to find a way to bring it out, it could at most be used to cheat others like how he cheated Lin Yi two days ago. Apart from that, there was not much use for it.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Meng, two days ago you told Young Master Xu that you wanted to investigate the fishy matter of Lin Yi digging up good jade in the tenth dead mining area. I wonder if there's any progress?" Kang Ming Ming turned around and asked. Although digging up eight or ten pieces of good jade a day was already pretty miserable in his eyes, if he could make Lin Yi unable to dig up a single piece of good jade, wouldn't that be even more satisfying!
Meng Jueguang was secretly delighted in his heart. He was just waiting for the other party to say this. Immediately, he let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, don't mention it! Both Junior Apprentice Brothers also know that I kicked this Lin Yi to the tenth dead mining area which birds don't even shit on, in order to vent the anger of Young Master Xu and my two Junior Apprentice Brothers. In the end, I didn't expect him to dig up good jade in two consecutive days. Isn't this going against our original intention of punishing him? Not to mention anything else, just based on the grudge between him and my two Junior Apprentice Brothers, we can't let him go on like this! "
Although they knew that this guy was deliberately trying to make himself look good, Kang Ming Ming and Meng Jueguang still nodded. Then, they listened to Meng Jueguang continue. "So I set up a trap and tricked him to come to the seventh mining area, wanting to investigate the fishy matter in the tenth mining area. In the end, I invited the exploration experts of Lingyu Hall to take a look and found out that there's no good jade in the tenth mining area at all. There's nothing fishy about it either. He was purely lucky two days ago. If we let him stay there any longer, no matter how lucky he is, he definitely won't be able to dig up any good jade!"
"Isn't that just right? Just kick him back to the tenth mining area, right? Don't you think so, Junior Apprentice Brother Zhong? " Kang Ming Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up. He was holding back his strength to see Lin Yi suffer. If he could make Lin Yi unable to dig up any good jade for a few months, that would be perfect!
Zhong Pingliang, who was standing at the side, nodded slightly but didn't say anything. He was Lin Yi's spy. At a time like this, he naturally couldn't speak carelessly. Otherwise, one word could help Lin Yi, but it could also make things worse!
"Sigh, I originally had the same idea as my two Junior Apprentice Brothers!" Meng Jueguang smiled bitterly. "But the problem is, if we don't think of a way to make Lin Yi sign the contract himself, we can't do anything if he insists on staying in the seventh mining area and refuses to leave!"
