There was no need to think too much about this. Other than Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong, who else would come looking for him to exchange for spiritual jades for no reason!
Of course, for Lin Yi, the more traps there were, the better. He could not wait for Meng Jueguang and his gang to brazenly cheat him. It would be best if each of them cheated him of a hundred pieces. That way, he would not have to worry about how to earn spiritual jades.
Lin Yi's guess was right. The mastermind behind this incident was Meng Jueguang!
And the source of this incident was a few days ago, when Meng Tong was bragging to the other newcomers, he accidentally revealed that Lin Yi had been cheated out of good jades by them using useless jades. As a result, Lin Yi became the laughingstock of the crowd. It also made the newcomers unknowingly target him.
Just by casually using a few worthless pieces of useless jades, they could exchange for a good piece of spiritual jades. With such a living Bodhisattva by their side, they should hurry up and pay him a visit to get some benefits. Wouldn't they be condemned by the heavens and the earth?
Originally, the newcomers only had one piece of the spirit jade that the welcoming pavilion had given them, and Lin Yi's had been scammed away by Meng Jueguang a long time ago. He didn't have anything else to talk about, and so even if the newcomers had the idea, they could only keep it to themselves.
But it was different now. Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai had just won fifteen pieces of spiritual jades from Meng Jueguang yesterday. According to normal logic, the spiritual jades of the two underlings would naturally fall into the hands of the boss, Lin Yi. So overnight, the hearts of the newcomers in the Blue Cloud Pavilion began to stir.
Everyone was thinking of using their useless jades to exchange for the good jades in Lin Yi's hands.
But. Lin Yi wasn't an idiot, after all. If he couldn't think of a good reason, then he wouldn't be able to. No matter how anxious these rookies were, they did not know what to do in a short period of time.
Although it could be said that Lin Yi's brain was not very good, and he had been tricked by Meng Jueguang and Meng Tong with the useless jade, he was still a ruthless person who could defeat Meng Tong in one move. These rookies had to admit that they could not afford to offend this demon.
If he didn't think it through beforehand and rashly lied to him, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be if he found out. He might even be beaten half to death by him!
However, there was clearly a piece of fresh meat placed in front of them, but they could not eat it. The feelings of the rookies were like a hundred claws scratching at their hearts. Finally, they could not hold it in any longer. Finally, someone asked Meng Jueguang for help.
If there was a first, there would be a second. Things always changed in the end. As a result, all the other rookies in Blue Cloud Pavilion ran to Meng Jueguang to express their loyalty. And this scene happened at the end of today's tutoring day, when Lu Bianren was giving instructions to Lin Yi and the others.
With regards to this, Meng Jueguang was naturally overjoyed. He had been looking forward to this scene for a long time. Faced with the rookies' request for help, he naturally could not disappoint them. Not only did he provide everyone with a few pieces of useless jade, he even gave them a very detailed reason.
Naturally, Li Zhengming, who was the first person other than Meng Tong to rely on him, became the best candidate to test the feasibility of this plan. Hence, there was the scene of Li Zhengming coming to him.
"How do you exchange for Spirit Jades? Aren't Spirit Jades the same? What's there to exchange for? "Lin Yi pretended to be surprised.
Although he did not know the details behind the scenes, he had more or less guessed it. Now was the time when he was in urgent need of Spirit Jades. Since the other party had taken the initiative to deliver Spirit Jades to him, there was no reason for him to reject them. However, he still had to cooperate with them, or else he would be suspected.
Li Zhengming pondered for a moment and asked, "The fifteen pieces of Spirit Jades that Senior Meng lost to you yesterday, are they in your hands?"
"Is there a problem with that?" Lin Yi did not answer directly, but asked in a noncommittal manner.
Li Zhengming thought that Lin Yi had tacitly agreed, so he organized his words and said, "It's like this. The bag of Spirit Jades that Senior Meng gave you was temporarily stored in his public funds. In a moment of desperation, he did not notice and mixed it up. Originally, it was not impossible for him to use his personal Spirit Jades to exchange for it, but Brother Lin Yi, you also know that there are different grades of good Spirit Jades. The problem is that this batch of public funds is of high quality. Senior Meng would not be able to find so much good Spirit Jades in such a short time … "
At this point, Li Zhengming looked at Lin Yi. Seeing that he was not moved, he continued, "Once the accounts are audited and the quality is found to be different, Senior Meng will inevitably be punished. As a new disciple, I can't just stand by and watch, so …"
This set of words was naturally thought up by Meng Jueguang himself. At first glance, it sounded reasonable, and no one could find any obvious loopholes.
Moreover, this good Spirit Jades was real, but this good Spirit Jades belonged to Meng Jueguang!
"So you want me to exchange these spirit jades for Meng Shixiong's favor?" Lin Yi cooperated and continued the conversation.
Li Zhengming nodded repeatedly, "That's right. So I don't know if Brother Lin Yi is willing to part with it?"
Lin Yi could not help but laugh. He deliberately put on a gloating expression and said, "Although I can understand what you are saying, from the beginning to the end, it is Senior Meng's own business. He made a mistake, so naturally he will be punished. What does it have to do with me? Moreover, you yourself said that this is good Spirit Jades. Why would I exchange it with you for ordinary Spirit Jades? Do you think I am an idiot? "
"Uh … Brother Lin Yi, you have misunderstood. I also know that this is a little difficult for you, so I will not let you suffer a loss. I will use two good Spirit Jades to exchange for one of your good Spirit Jades. How about that?" Li Zhengming already knew that Lin Yi would not easily agree, so he offered a tempting price.
"About this …" Lin Yi purposely pretended to be interested, but still shook his head, "Your two good Spirit Jades and my one good Spirit Jades, although the value of the two is about the same, to me there is still not much benefit. Don't forget that Senior Meng has targeted me many times before. Since there is no obvious benefit, why should I help him? Why don't you give me a reason? "
Hearing this, Li Zhengming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright then, three Spirit Jades for one. Brother Lin Yi should be satisfied now. Let's say that your Spirit Jades are worth the same as two good Spirit Jades. Three Spirit Jades for one, you have definitely made a profit!"
Hehe, this guy is also a master of acting!
Lin Yi could not help but laugh in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Alright then, deal."
