This guess could not be said to be not bold and bizarre, but this kind of thing might not be completely impossible.
Meng Jueguang knew that the Spirit Jade Hall had a special method to instill spiritual energy into the waste jade, turning it into a treasure. However, this process was extremely long, requiring at least a few hundred years before it was possible.
The world was vast and full of extraordinary things. Cultivators were all people with hundreds of wisdom and remarkable abilities. Since there was the precedent of the Spirit Jade Hall, charging the spiritual jade in a short period of time might seem unreliable, but it might not be impossible.
If that was the case, then the meaning of this spiritual jade really needed to be carefully considered.
"Boss, where did you get this spiritual jade?" Meng Jueguang's heart stirred as he asked.
The stall owner gave him a baffled look, curled his lips and said, "It was given by the customer just now."
It really was him! This answer made Meng Jueguang's heart tremble. Now, he finally reacted. The first time he saw this person, he felt that he was extremely familiar, because he had seen this person's face before!
Back when Yu Zhe came out to look for Lin Er, he had Lin Er's portrait in his hand. Although it was somewhat different from the real person, the general outline was correct. And Meng Jueguang just happened to have looked at this portrait carefully.
In other words, the person whom he had mistaken as Lin Yi, should be the Lin Er that Southern Sky Gate and Yu Zhe had been looking for!
And what made Meng Jueguang even more suspicious was that this Lin Er actually had his strange spiritual jade. The strange spiritual jade that should have been in Lin Yi's hands, what did this mean?
In addition, in order to find this Lin Er, Yu Zhe had run to the Welcome Pavilion several times, the truth behind this was already on the verge of being revealed.
Right now, Meng Jueguang was at least seventy percent sure that Lin Yi and Lin Er should be the same person, just that they had used some kind of method to change their appearance!
In the cultivation world. Changing one's appearance was not uncommon. Aside from using tools like the human skin mask, even some unorthodox martial techniques could achieve the same effect.
Even Meng Jueguang himself found this speculation hard to believe. But if he thought about it carefully, he would realize that all the signs from before could corroborate each other!
Just this point alone was enough to explain the doubts that Meng Jueguang had for a long time. The waste jade with sparse Spiritual Qi suddenly became a good jade with abundant Spiritual Qi.
Although he had been urging Meng Tong and the others at the beginning, The instigator of using the despicable method of exchanging a useless jade for a good jade to trick Lin Yi was Meng Jueguang himself. And because the same method had succeeded time and time again, Meng Jueguang was secretly pleased. At the same time, he also thought that Lin Yi was an idiot who couldn't even distinguish a useless jade from a good jade.
But then, as he stumbled over Lin Yi again and again, and even watched Lin Yi grow step by step into an expert that even he himself was afraid of, Meng Jueguang couldn't help but suspect that Lin Yi was a legendary newcomer, how could he have gotten to where he was today?
How could he have come to such a stage today? Moreover, who was Meng Jueguang?
This kind of thing. Even if he used his toes to think, he would know that there must be more to it than meets the eye.
Only a brainless idiot like Meng Tong, but he, Meng Jueguang, was a smart person. Even if he got carried away for a while, he would naturally come back to his senses after a long time.
Now that he thought about it. Exchanging a useless jade for a good jade, this kind of trick was probably exactly what Lin Yi wanted. It was obvious that this guy had been baiting them to give him useless jade, so he could always get his way.
Otherwise, even if Lin Yi was really stupid, the people around him would have stopped him when they realized that something was wrong. They wouldn't have let it happen until now and never cared about it.
For a normal person, exchanging a good jade in their hands for a useless jade in someone else's hands, even if it could be exchanged for many, would be an out-and-out wastrel.
But Lin Yi was obviously different. If his speculation was right, he should have some kind of way to quickly charge the useless jade!
Only this could explain why the spiritual jade in Meng Jueguang's hand inexplicably turned from a useless piece of jade to a good piece of jade. Only this could explain why the simple trick of replacing a useless piece of jade with a good piece of jade, which could be seen through by ordinary people, could actually succeed time and time again.
All of this was obviously a trap set by Lin Yi, waiting for them to come to him and give him the useless jade.
To think that they were so complacent at first, thinking that it was rare for them to take advantage of Lin Yi. Now that they thought about it, from the beginning to the end, they were basically played by this guy!
In this way, all the things that happened before and after were linked together, the truth was already on the verge of being revealed. Even if there were still some doubts, they just needed to be further confirmed. Now, from Meng Jueguang's point of view, the fact that Lin Yi was Lin Er was basically impossible to run away from!
"Hehe, today's trip to the market really wasn't in vain!" After thinking through all of these, Meng Jueguang couldn't help but sneer.
Originally, because of Lin Yi's previous domineering performance, he had already planned to reconcile with Lin Yi. After all, a wise man submits to circumstances. This was also something that couldn't be helped. Now that Lin Yi's strength was so strong that even Meng Jueguang felt frightened, what else could he do?
Now that things had developed to this point, it was simply unrealistic for him to count on his subordinates to kill Lin Yi. Regardless of whether it was Meng Tong or Murong Zhen, they were far from being Lin Yi's opponent.
After all, Meng Jueguang was a smart person. He had already deeply understood that if he and Lin Yi were to openly oppose each other, he would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.
Meng Tong had already gone around the gates of hell once. If he came again, he would probably be dead. If things really developed to that point, Meng Jueguang would definitely be in a passive position. At that time, even if he was promoted to Third Pavilion Master, if he didn't have any subordinates, it would be impossible for him to suppress the overbearing Lin Yi. His situation was likely to be even more embarrassing and tragic than Lu Bianren's!
Therefore, as a last resort, Meng Jueguang decided to temporarily pretend to be courteous with Lin Yi. As long as he could temporarily stabilize the situation, it didn't matter even if he lost some face. When he stabilized his position as Third Pavilion Master in the future, it wouldn't be too late to settle the score then.
