The supervisor of spirit flower took a deep look at him and continued, "These seedlings seem to have been growing for a while, and their quality is very good. The spiritual herb seeds provided to the newcomers were cultivated in batches to be congenitally deficient. In theory, no matter how good the outside environment is, it's impossible to grow seedlings of such quality. This is also something that no one can do."
"Well, now Lin Yi, what else do you have to say?" In Meng Jueguang's view, the two points mentioned by the supervisor of spirit flower had completely confirmed the fact that Lin Yi had cheated.
Cheating in the crucial newcomer assessment didn't sound as serious as rebellion, but it was also a serious crime. In this way, Lin Yi's name would at least be blacklisted by the Three Pavilions, and he would never be able to make a name for himself in the north island in this life.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi frowned and looked at Meng Jueguang, saying, "Senior Brother Meng, the supervisor of spirit flower is a guest from afar, and his status and power are no less than yours. Don't you think it's rude of you to interrupt him like this?"
"What the hell!" Meng Jueguang almost spat out blood. In front of everyone, he was called rude by Lin Yi, a newcomer in the secular world. It was so intolerable!
"Lin Yi, don't try to change the subject. According to what the supervisor of spirit flower just said, you've already been convicted of cheating. Let's see how you can defend yourself now." Meng Jueguang couldn't help but swear.
"I've been convicted of cheating?" Lin Yi was instantly amused. "Senior Brother Meng, you just said that the supervisor of spirit flower has the most right to speak here. Why can't you wait to jump out and pronounce the sentence before the supervisor of spirit flower says anything?"
"Slap yourself in the face. Isn't this our Senior Brother Meng's specialty?" Qiao Hongcai, who was standing beside him, said with a smile.
Meng Jueguang's face darkened again. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only suppress his anger and maintain his composure. "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Supervisor Ling Hua to pronounce the sentence. Today, I'll let you die knowing!"
Everyone's eyes focused back on the spirit flower steward. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Fine. Then let me tell you the result. This Junior Brother Lin Yi, he … did not cheat. "
"Quack? He didn't cheat? " Meng Jueguang and the crowd were dumbfounded. He pointed at Lin Yi and stammered, "How … How is this possible? Manager Ling Hua, you couldn't have made a mistake, right? "
The spiritual flower manager shook her head and said in a similarly incredulous tone, "To be honest, I also find it hard to believe. However, these thirty-nine seedlings were indeed grown from that batch of seeds. This cannot be faked."
"Why?" Meng Jueguang quickly asked.
"Because these seeds were all marked with the vital energy unique to the Spirit Medicine Nursery. No one can imitate it. Therefore, we can confirm that Junior Brother Lin Yi did not cheat, "the spiritual flower steward said with certainty.
"Did you hear that? Senior Brother Meng, what else do you have to say? " Lin Yi immediately sneered. He had already noticed the vital energy mark on the seeds when he was channeling vital energy into them. That was why he dared to do that today. Even if the spiritual flower steward and Meng Jueguang were in cahoots, he was not afraid.
However, from what the spiritual flower steward had said, he and Meng Jueguang were not the same kind of people. This saved him a lot of trouble.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Meng Jueguang was in a difficult position this time. Not only did he frame his new subordinate, he even attacked him recklessly. If this accusation was pursued, it would be a serious one.
"This … Everyone can testify for me. I was wholeheartedly working for the public. Even if there was a mistake along the way, it's understandable. The higher-ups will definitely look into every detail. Lin Yi, don't think of framing a good person! "Meng Jueguang was at a loss for words. However, he still stubbornly said.
"Framing a good person? From what you said, you're framing my Boss Lin Yi. What do you mean by that? "Qiao Hongcai was instantly angered. This Meng Jueguang was too shameless.
"Spiritual flower steward, you were a witness from the beginning to the end. What do you say?" Lin Yi ignored Meng Jueguang and turned to look at the spiritual flower steward.
"Regarding today's matter, Steward Meng was indeed a little rash. He was at fault first." The spiritual flower steward immediately made his stand clear.
Today, he had followed Kang Ming Ming here with the intention of working for the public. He was not in the same boat as Meng Jueguang. Naturally, there was no need for him to take the blame for Meng Jueguang.
"Alright! I will report this matter to the higher-ups. I hope that the spiritual flower steward can speak up for justice. "Lin Yi cupped his hands and said.
The spiritual flower steward glanced at Meng Jueguang. Normal people would not do something like offending someone for no reason. However, he still nodded and said, "Alright. However, Junior Lin Yi, can you tell me how you cultivated these seedlings? It's hard to imagine the survival rate of such good quality. I'm very curious."
As the head steward of the Spirit Herb Nursery, the only thought on his mind right now was to figure out the secrets on Lin Yi's body. Out of the forty seeds that were congenitally deficient, he had managed to grow thirty-nine seedlings of good quality. It was an exaggeration to say that the survival rate was close to one hundred percent. If he wasn't moved by this, then he wouldn't have earned his position today.
If he could get his hands on this secret, it would be equivalent to getting a huge treasure for the Spirit Medicine Nursery. Not to mention offending a mere Meng Jueguang, even offending the head of the Welcome Pavilion, Hu Yunfeng, wouldn't be a problem.
"Spirit Flower steward, you should know that this is a hidden trump card. Even the spiritual herb planters in the Spirit Medicine Nursery wouldn't share it easily, would they?" Lin Yi rejected without hesitation.
"That's true. I was being rude." The spiritual flower steward couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't give up. "Then, if there's a chance, Junior Lin Yi, would you like to work in the Spirit Medicine Nursery? Of course, you can also work in the Elixir Hall. Don't worry about the salary. Everything is negotiable!"
"Well, we'll see how it goes," Lin Yi said noncommittally.
Right now, he was just a newbie in the Welcome Pavilion. As for his future development, he could only take it one step at a time. His main goal was to go to the middle island and find Zhang Liju.
If it could be of some help, then he wouldn't mind working anywhere. But if it was of no benefit, then he could only politely decline.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't seem to be particularly tempted, the spiritual flower steward couldn't help but look at him in a higher light. Neither arrogant nor rash. This Lin Yi was quite interesting!
