"It contains the secret treasure that the Song family wants to get back! Mister Zhao, you have to uphold justice for the Sheng family! "
With tears in her eyes, Qing Ping pretended to be pitiful, innocent, and weak. But Lin Mengya and the rest would not be fooled by her face.
"What secret treasure? Miss Qing Ping, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. "
Qing Ping became even more certain when she heard Lin Mengya's rebuttal.
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
If she had not gone to check on the seedlings just now, she would have been fooled by them.
These people dared to destroy her hope again.
They all deserved to die!
"Secret treasure? What secret treasure?"
Zhao Jian's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
He had only heard about the Sheng family from the younger generation. He really did not know the details.
Qing Ping timidly said, "Mister Zhao, you don't know. That thing is a rare treasure. It was because of it that Elder Sheng fell out with the Song family. "
Zhao Jian had heard about the discord between the Song family and the Sheng family.
Hearing this, he was even more curious to know what the secret treasure was.
"Bring it over."
The subordinates who had just gotten up from the ground did not dare to step forward. The two sides were in a deadlock.
Zhao Jian narrowed his eyes and said rudely, "Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. I can let go of what happened just now, but don't even think about taking away anything that belongs to the aboriginals! Someone, gather all the aboriginals in the vicinity. "
It seemed that Zhao Jian wanted to use this matter to act shamelessly in front of her.
Lin Mengya was still able to keep her composure. Seeing this, she actually took off the cloth bag.
"Ya 'er?"
Long Tianhao was a little curious.
Based on his wife's character, there was no reason for her to take away anything that entered her hands.
What's more, she was being threatened.
"There's no need to fight to the death with them now. They just want to take a look. Just give it to them."
She said in a low voice, but still blinked at her husband.
Long Tianhao immediately understood.
Perhaps his wife already had a plan.
"Alright."
Soon, the small cloth bag was delivered to Zhao Jian.
At this moment, his curiosity towards this secret treasure had overwhelmed his usual caution.
In front of everyone, he couldn't wait to open the sack.
"This is … the secret treasure you mentioned?"
Qingping nodded as she stared fixedly at the cloth bag.
Zhao Jian's expression was somewhat ugly.
"Then tell me, what is the use of this artifact?"
Qing Ping inwardly looked down on this person's lack of knowledge, but she still said in a bewitching manner, "It's said that anyone who obtains this item can extend their lifespan and even become immortal …"
But before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Jian threw something at her face with a cold expression.
"Do you think I'm easy to fool? Immortality, I think you're tired of living! "
Qing Ping was stunned as well.
Soon after, she grabbed the sack, and under everyone's watchful eyes, a black stone rolled out.
"This is impossible!"
No!
When she entered, the Blood Crimson Flower had already finished its first rooting process.
The Blood Bright Flower would only be able to infect a human body after the first successful rooting process.
But, but why was there a rock here?
"What's impossible about it?"
Lin Mengya finally spoke up, her tone filled with helplessness.
"I like to collect all kinds of stones, and this stone doesn't belong to the aboriginals. I brought it in from the outside. If you can find the same material in the aboriginals, I'll give it to you and you can do whatever you want with it. How about that? "
Qing Ping was very cunning.
She held the stone in her hand and examined it for a while, but she was unwilling to admit that it really was a stone!
But even so, she would never let it go.
"Master Gong, as far as I know, the Gong family is extremely wealthy, comparable to a country. I wouldn't be surprised even if you took out such a large piece of jade or gold. Why did you choose this stone?
Or is there a secret hidden in it, so you're deliberately mystifying us? "
Lin Mengya immediately revealed a look that said, "You guessed it."
She sighed and said, "It seems like I can't hide this anymore."
Qing Ping and Zhao Jian looked at her coldly.
But in their hearts, they did not believe a single word she said.
"Actually, this thing does have a great background. It's a miraculous medicine that I got from the Gan family for my husband. I beg the two of you very sincerely to return the stone to me. Otherwise, my husband's old injury won't be able to be treated. "
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Jian was about to explode with anger, and he immediately reprimanded her.
Lin Mengya spread out her hands helplessly.
"You guys are really difficult to deal with. I can't say that it's not important, and I can't say that it's important either. Forget it, I don't want it anymore, okay? Husband, let's leave quickly. It's too difficult to play with them. "
She was about to push him away, and her eyes did not fall on the stone again.
It was as if the person who wanted the stone no matter what was said was not her.
"Stop, did I say you can leave?"
Only then did Zhao Jian realize that he had really been tricked just now.
At that moment, he was even more furious.
"Then what else do you want?"
Lin Mengya did not have a good attitude now.
"No matter what, I have saved the aboriginals. You slandered me for stealing, and I have done as you said to prove my innocence. Now, what else do you want? After all, it was your people who invited us here. Is this how the aboriginals treat their guests? "
She was not a weak girl who could be easily bullied.
Her words did not lose any of her momentum, and she was still very fierce.
Zhao Jian was instantly angered by her. He said with a dark face, "The aboriginals invited you with good intentions, but who knew that you would have such malicious intentions. I feel that the Sheng family's current miserable state is because of you! "
"Hey! You need evidence before you speak. "
Lin Mengya's face darkened.
"The Gong family and the Divine Temple will not allow others to bully us. If Mister Zhao insists, it seems that I will have to use the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Gong family and the Divine Temple to reason with you."
Every word she said carried a different kind of pressure.
Even Zhao Jian was starting to feel a little powerless under her intimidation.
This made Zhao Jian both angry and unwilling.
He had been in the aboriginals for so many years, but he had never been suppressed by a woman like this.
"You —"
Just as Zhao Jian was about to lose his mind, another group of people arrived.
"Mister Zhao, please calm down."
The people who came were dressed in the attire of the Elders Council, which Lin Mengya was not unfamiliar with.
She raised her brow.
She did not expect the Elders Council to act so quickly.
However, she had misunderstood this point.
These people were not after her or the Sheng family at all.
They had come with Zhao Jian to complete a mission given by the Elders Council.
Who knew that Zhao Jian would get the news halfway and come to the Sheng family to rob them of their belongings?
This infuriated these people.
Zhao Jian had just left, and they came right after him.
And because of their dissatisfaction with Zhao Jian, these people would definitely not be on his side.
"What are you doing here?"
Zhao Jian was still a little guilty, so his question did not sound as justified.
The leader was a stern middle-aged man.
Li Ao had told Lin Mengya about the differences in the insignia of the Elders Council.
The lowest-ranking disciples were in charge of running errands, so they only wore gray robes with a blank chest.
Above them were the stewards of various places.
The gray robes of these people were of a much better quality than the disciples', and there would be a crescent moon pattern on their chests.
Above them were the acting elders.
Because the substitute elders were not official elders, their formal attire should be light grey, with a crescent moon and a red sun on it.
As for the official elders, they wore silver-gray robes. It was said that the material would be different according to their status, but they were definitely gorgeous and exquisite.
There would also be a sun and moon on their chests, but the ordinary elders would have a circle of light that increased in number.
Sheng Baishan and Song Zixing were only Elder San Hui.
As for the real big shots in the Elders Council, not even Li Ao's father had seen them before.
From the looks of it, the person speaking before him was just an ordinary elder.
No wonder Zhao Jian dared to run away.
The Zhao clan could be considered a prominent clan in the Upper Flux Clan. Ordinary elders without any powerful backing would have to curry favor with him.
That elder's complexion could not be considered good.
"I came to ask Mister Zhao, when are you going to take care of the important matters?"
Elder Luo asked, suppressing his anger.
Zhao Jian glanced at him, then impatiently looked at Lin Mengya.
"After I take care of this group of thieves, I will naturally go back. Elder Luo, you should leave first, I will come back in a moment. "
Elder Luo could not let him delay any longer, his brows tightly knitted.
"No matter what it is, I ask Mister Zhao to take care of it first. Besides, that group of 'divination people' came in a threatening manner. Before I left, Elder Zhao instructed me to take care of them, otherwise … "
"Enough, don't use him to pressure me!"
Zhao Jian interrupted him with some disgust.
But they did not know that their whispered conversation just now had already fallen into Lin Mengya's ears.
The words' divination people 'attracted her attention.
She used a password to communicate with Long Tianhao, who tapped on her palm.
"Do you want to come along?" Long Tianhao asked in a password.
Lin Mengya thought for a moment, then gave him an affirmative answer.
"Okay, we will wait and see."
Before they came, Master Huo had already made his attitude clear.
Moreover, this time, whether it was the Zhao clan or that Elder Luo, it did not seem like they were going to welcome people.
After a short exchange between the two, Lin Mengya said, "Can we go or not? Give me a straightforward answer! You're so dilly-dallying, you're not manly at all. "
Zhao Jian coldly stared at her and waved his hand.
"Bring them along!"
