Meng Jueguang proudly replied, "That's because I found an excuse to give him twenty-five pieces of useless jade in exchange for the only small spiritual jade that still had Spiritual Qi in his possession!"
"Useless jade? What does this guy need useless jade for? How could he trade a good jade full of energy for useless jade? It's not like you can eat it! Did a donkey kick him in the head? "Kang Ming Ming couldn't help but wonder. Even Zhong Pingliang was a little stunned.
The spiritual energy inside the jade wastelands was too thin, it was far from being comparable to the cultivation dwelling allocated to the new disciples in the Welcoming Pavilion. Even if it was a waste disciple from the Clear Cloud Pavilion, they wouldn't be interested in the spiritual energy inside the jade wastelands ah!
Meng Jueguang smiled proudly. "Heh heh, don't be surprised, brothers. When I gave him the spiritual jade, he didn't know that it was useless jade. He thought that the twenty-five pieces were good jade. One small spiritual jade for twenty-five good jades. This big pie fell from the sky and knocked him out. I tricked him into signing the contract on the spot. Even if he found out that it was useless jade, he couldn't go back on his word!"
"I see! So Lin Yi was tricked by Senior Meng! " Kang Zhaoming understood the situation and chuckled. He was happy to see Lin Yi being humiliated like this.
But Zhong Pingliang didn't think so. Among everyone present, he was the first to know Lin Yi and understood him the best. As far as he was concerned, Boss Lin Yi's miraculous abilities had been proven time and time again in the common world. He wasn't the kind of guy who would be tricked easily. It was already good enough that he didn't trick others, but how could others trick him? He, Zhong Pingliang, was suffering from the pain of shooting himself in the foot! Even his kidneys were gone!
As a result, being tricked into exchanging good jade for useless jade wasn't something that would happen to Lin Yi. Unless he wanted the jade and was willing to be tricked!
He didn't know what Lin Yi wanted the jade for, but he had a feeling that it would be of great use to his boss Lin Yi. Meng Jueguang and the others thought that they tricked Boss Lin Yi, but they might have fallen into Lin Yi's trap.
They laughed happily for a while. Kang Ming Ming continued, "Then how do we kick Lin Yi back to Mine No.10? Do you have any ideas, Senior Meng? We can't just let him roam around Mine No.7 forever, can we? "
"I'm also having a headache over this problem. Meng Tong just said that he would use another twenty-five pieces of jade to trick Lin Yi back. I told you that Lin Yi isn't an idiot, he wouldn't fall for it again. You two are smart people, what do you think? "Meng Jueguang looked at Kang Ming Ming and Zhong Pingliang.
"Indeed, it's only been two days and he wants to trick Lin Yi again. Does he think Lin Yi is an idiot, or does he think he's an idiot?" Kang Ming Ming sneered as he glanced at Meng Tong. The disdain in his eyes was self-evident. On the other hand, Meng Tong's face flushed red from his words.
Zhong Pingliang suddenly interrupted, "I actually think that Meng Tong's suggestion might work!"
"Oh? Why do you say that, Junior Zhong? " Meng Jueguang and Kang Ming Ming asked at the same time. Meng Tong, on the other hand, looked at Zhong Pingliang gratefully, thanking him for helping him out.
Wow, this Senior Zhong is so nice! I need to get closer to him in the future and discuss things with him!
Zhong Pingliang was different from Meng Tong. Like Kang Ming Ming, he was recruited by Xu Lingchong personally. He wasn't an idiot either. If the same words came out of Meng Tong's mouth, people would only laugh at him. But if it came out of Zhong Pingliang's mouth, Meng Jueguang and Kang Ming Ming would have to think about it carefully.
"What the two senior brothers said is true. With Lin Yi's shrewdness, he wouldn't fall for the same trick two days later, "Zhong Pingliang analyzed. Pinliang analyzed. "But that's on the premise that he'd already realized that he'd been tricked. What if he still hasn't realized that the twenty-five pieces of jade Senior Brother Meng gave him were useless?"
"Is … Is that possible?" Meng Jueguang and Kang Ming Ming looked at each other. Zhong Pingliang's words made sense. If Lin Yi still hadn't realized that the spirit jade was useless, then he could do it again. There was a chance of success!
Pinliang saw that the two were still hesitating, so he continued. "According to what Meng Senior Brother said, it's only been two days since Lin Yi took the twenty-five jade pieces, and he's been mining in the mines for the past two days, so he hasn't had much time to use the spirit jades. If he doesn't use them, then he wouldn't have realized that they're all useless jades. From what I see, it's very likely that he didn't notice them!"
"But even if he's mining in the day, he'll still need the spirit jade when he goes back to train at night, right?" Meng Jueguang thought that Zhong Pingliang's words made sense, but he was still confused.
Zhong Pingliang shook his head, "I don't dare to boast about others, but I dare say that I don't know Lin Yi as well as the other senior brothers! This guy looks normal on the outside, but he's actually very arrogant. He thinks that he's a genius that only appears once in ten thousand years, so he's used to playing tricks when he's in the common world. He's never trained as hard as we do, so I'm willing to bet that he hasn't been training seriously these two days, so he doesn't need the spirit jade! "
Kang Zhaoming nodded from the side, "I agree with what Junior Zhong said. Senior brother Meng, you might not know this, but Lin Yi is actually an alchemist in the common world. His current strength is basically increased by elixirs. People like him who are used to elixirs wouldn't bother with daily training. I think it's very likely that he's trying to save up spirit jades to buy elixirs! As for training, someone like him who's addicted to pills probably doesn't even know how to use spirit jade to train, right? Hahaha! "
The others burst into laughter. Seeing Meng Jueguang's convinced expression, Zhong Pingliang was secretly happy. He was sure that Boss Lin Yi needed the useless jade, so he purposely led these people to give Lin Yi jade again. If it was only him, Meng Jueguang would still be a little skeptical, but he didn't think that even Kang Ming Ming would help him. Now, Meng Jueguang had no choice but to believe it.
