"Just through two top-quality foundation-building pills and the box, you can be sure that I am Lin Er, and you dare to stand up for me at such a critical moment. I really owe him a big favor this time.
!" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart.
Separated by a distance of nearly twenty feet, Lin Yi and Hong Zhong looked at each other from a distance, nodded to each other in understanding, and said nothing.
Seeing Hong Zhong personally testify for Lin Yi, even Xu Lingchong was dumbfounded this time.
When facing Linghua Manager, Xu Lingchong at least had the idea of paying homage to him, but facing Hong Zhong, the leader of Hong's Chamber of Commerce, he really didn't have the guts to question him.
As the plenipotentiary agent of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in Beidao, in terms of power and status, Hong Zhong is hardly inferior to any of the senior elders of the three major pavilions. Even compared to his grandfather Xu Yuanzheng, he is not inferior by half.
Even if Xu Lingchong had some courage, he would never dare to question Hong Zhong in such a public place and in front of so many important people. If he dared to do this, he would only end up with one end, humiliating himself.
However, being unable to question Hong Zhong face to face does not mean that he will let Lin Yi go easily.
Xu Lingchong had an idea and said to Lin Yi: "Since Mr. Hong has personally testified, I no longer doubt the authenticity and origin of these two top-grade foundation-building pills. However, I would like to hear about it.
Lin Yi, as a mere newcomer to Qingyun Pavilion, where did you get so much spiritual jade to buy these two top-quality foundation-building pills?"
This problem, if there is no reasonable explanation, is also very fatal.
Generally speaking, there are only two sources of spiritual jade for newcomers. One is the monthly stipend given to them by the Yingxin Pavilion, but it is only a mere piece. The other is obtained through some low-level tasks, such as going to Lingyu Hall to mine. Although this reward is
The salary ratio is a bit higher, but still pitifully small.
Two top-quality foundation-building elixirs cost thousands of spiritual jade at least. It is impossible for a newcomer to afford them with this income. And Lin Yi is a grassroots newcomer to Qingyun Pavilion, and he comes from the secular world without any background.
It can be said that where did this huge amount of spiritual jade come from to buy the best foundation-building elixir? There must be something fishy hidden in it!
However, Lin Yi was furious! As long as he had the strength instead of being a newcomer, who would dare to ask himself this? There were so many gifts, but no one asked where they came from, let alone the soul who bought the gifts.
Yu's origin has come, but now Xu Lingchong is making things difficult again and again. Relying on his status as the elder brother in charge and the energy of his grandfather, few people interfere.
Hong Zhong originally wanted to be a good guy and stick it out for Lin Yi. After all, if Lin Yi fell into this problem, his previous defense would be in vain, and he would even be implicated.
However, before he could speak, Lin Yi had already replied without hesitation: "Well, before, Meng Jueguang organized a large group of people from top to bottom, and inexplicably took the initiative to come and give me spiritual jade, three for one, four for four
One of them said that my spiritual jade is so good that I can carve some spiritual jade carvings for Miss Shangguan. There are so many people rushing to give me spiritual jade, so naturally I have more and more on hand."
Xu Lingchong was stunned when he heard this. He had vaguely heard this matter mentioned by his subordinates before, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time and didn't ask Meng Jueguang to find out the specific situation.
"Even if Meng Jueguang wants to make a spiritual jade sculpture, only one or two pieces are enough. How can it be possible for a large group of people to rush up to give you spiritual jade? Do you think they are all fools?" Xu Lingchong's mind changed and he sneered immediately.
He questioned.
Lin Yi was calm and shrugged: "I don't know whether they are fools or not. Anyway, when they came to me to exchange for spiritual jade, they used this name. Mr. Xu
If you don’t believe it, why don’t you ask Meng Jueguang? He organized this matter, and he was the one who changed the most and most diligently. Only he himself knows the reason why!”
"F*ck!" Xu Lingchong couldn't help but uttered a curse word in front of everyone. Under the stunned eyes of everyone, he forcibly swallowed the second half of the sentence. Damn it, Meng Jueguang has already been dead. Let me ask you a question.
Shit!
At this time, Xu Lingchong was really helpless. Meng Jueguang's death was truly unconfirmed.
Regarding the matter of exchanging spiritual jade, apart from Lin Yi himself, only Xu Lingchong and Kang Mingming among the people present had heard of it, but because they were not involved in it, the specific situation was not clear.
The two of them only roughly knew that Meng Jueguang and his gang should exchange scrap jade for the good jade in Lin Yi's hands, and it was absolutely impossible for them to come to his door to give him spiritual jade as Lin Yi said. After all, Meng Jueguang and his gang were not stupid.
lack!
However, if you want to expose Lin Yi's lies, you must confront the person who exchanged the jade with him, which is not easy to operate.
Firstly, these people are not at the scene, and it is impossible for so many big people present to wait here for such a trivial matter. Secondly, even if these people are found now, it will be difficult to get them to tell the truth in public.
You must know that privately using scrap jade to pass off as good jade is a fraud that is explicitly prohibited by the three major pavilions and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Once exposed, it will be severely punished. Who dares to take such a risk?
Seeing that Xu Lingchong was speechless for a long time, Shangguan Lan'er finally found a chance to defend Lin Yi and said: "I'm speechless now. I don't know if I doubt this or that about my young junior brother."
Who has a ghost in mind, hum!"
Xu Lingchong was choked and speechless. Although he was very unwilling to let Lin Yi escape like this, but the matter was at this point, he also knew that even if he continued to hold on to the opponent's pigtails, it would be difficult to kill him.
There is only one reason for this. These big people present have begun to no longer stand on his side. If they continue to be entangled like this, not only will they not be appreciated, but they will only be annoying, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
The root cause of all this lies in one person, Hong Zhong.
In fact, most of the people present could see that Lin Yi's last explanation about the origin of the spiritual jade must have many unknown quirks. If you want to completely explain the origin of thousands of spiritual jade based on this alone, it is actually
It's very far-fetched and not very tenable.
If Hong Zhong hadn't come forward before, they might still be willing to dig deeper, but now they have realized that Lin Yi is not as powerful as he seems on the surface. Since the matter has nothing to do with them, why should he be used as a weapon by Xu Lingchong for nothing?
, for no reason to offend a person like Hong Zhong, who has great hands and eyes? (The fish man in the prestige yuren22 has sent everyone the gift pack activation code of the School Girl mobile game. Everyone, go and get it! It will be available tomorrow, don’t miss it!)
