Voice Bubble Box: Your Secret Is Exposed!

"So it turns out that Guo Kai stole Brother Ji's spirit stone?!"

Gu Xuan glanced at this naive young man in surprise. He usually looked innocent and honest, but he didn't expect him to be a thief who stole spiritual stones.

If it weren't for the information displayed in the bubble box and Guo Kai's inner voice, no one would have thought that Guo Kai had stolen the spirit stone.

Gu Xuan rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.

Since you can steal other people's spiritual stones, then I'll steal yours, isn't that too much?

As for the moral issue, Gu Xuan thought that he had this thing, but he was more flexible in using it. It would appear when it was needed, and it would not appear when it was not needed.

Judging from the direction Guo Kai is heading in, he should be planning to go to the back mountain now.

Gu Xuan quickened his pace. He had to reach the back mountain faster before he could intercept Hu Lingshi!

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, although Guo Kai was anxious to retrieve the spirit stone, his steps were still unhurried, almost like he was taking a leisurely stroll.

So Gu Xuan took a slight detour, but still reached his destination faster than Guo Kai.

There are usually very few people coming to the back mountain, and it was the same at this time, with not many people in sight.

As for the East District Lakeside, there is not a single soul there.

For safety reasons, Gu Xuan carefully observed the surroundings and found that there was indeed no second person, so he felt free to look for the spirit stone.

There are many stones here, and there are 15 in total that match the characteristics of square stones.

If you rummage and dig one by one, it will definitely take a lot of time, and you will definitely not be able to leave early when Guo Kai arrives.

Since he was stealing spiritual stones, he naturally had to do it without anyone noticing.

"I wonder if this will work?" Gu Xuan suddenly had a plan in mind.

When staring at a square stone, a bubble box pops up.

[I am a square stone. The wind blows, the rain hits, and the sun shines...]

Staring at another square stone.

[I don’t know why that couple likes to come to my place so much. They always choose me every time. It’s so annoying! 】

It wasn't until Gu Xuan saw the seventh one that he finally found the right one.

The location of this one was obviously relatively remote, and it was almost covered by bushes. Gu Xuan almost didn't notice it at first.

[A month ago, that honest guy opened me up and buried a bag of things in the soil under me. It's been a month. Could it be that that guy had forgotten about it? 】

Without saying a word, Gu Xuan immediately turned over the stone, then picked up a nearby branch to dig.

After a while, it was dug out to a depth of half a meter.

The branch suddenly touched something hard, like a stone.

Gu Xuan reached out and pulled the thing out.

This is a cloth bag, covered with mud and heavy.

Open the bag, revealing pieces of crystal clear crystal stones inside.

"Spiritual stone! And it's a middle-grade spiritual stone!"

Gu Xuan's eyes were bright and he exclaimed inwardly.

Judging from the quality, it can be seen at a glance that the spiritual stone is of mid-grade quality.

The quality of spiritual stones is from low to high: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade.

The exchange ratio for spiritual stones of adjacent qualities is 10 to 1. For example, if you need 10 low-grade spiritual stones, you can exchange them for 1 medium-grade spiritual stone.

This is because the spiritual energy contained in higher-quality spiritual stones is more abundant and pure, and the effect of assisting cultivation will naturally be better, so the value is higher.

As an outer disciple, you can only receive 5 low-grade spiritual stones from the sect every month, which is not enough for use.

At this moment, there are 50 spiritual stones in the bag, all of which are of medium quality.

If all were exchanged for low-grade spiritual stones, it would be a full 500 yuan, which is equivalent to an outer disciple's monthly salary for several years.

"Senior Brother Ji is so rich!" Gu Xuan sighed.

Then I thought about it, and realized that Senior Brother Ji was originally from a wealthy family, and his strength reached the seventh level of Body Tempering.

The key is that he is cunning and cunning, and often deceives disciples who are weaker than him. It is estimated that most of these spiritual stones were obtained by deceiving him.

It's normal to be so rich. After all, it's easy to accumulate spiritual stones through deception.

Gu Xuan took the spirit stone into his arms.

Looking at the bag full of dirt, Gu Xuan suddenly smiled wickedly.

I picked up dozens of small stones nearby, put them into a cloth bag, and then threw them back into the pit. Then I filled them back with soil, then moved the stones back to their original positions, and finally left here.

Shortly after Gu Xuan left, Guo Kai came to the place where the spirit stones were buried.

"My precious spirit stone! It's been a month, it's time to miss me!"

Guo Kai licked his thick lips and started digging.

"I dug it! Come out!"

Guo Kai reached out and pulled out the bag.

The heavy feeling made him sigh in relief.

Although it is so hidden that it is almost impossible for anyone to discover it, I am afraid that some cheap person will turn over the rocks and dig a hole on a whim, and a blind cat will encounter a dead mouse and dig it.

After all, there are some people who come to the lakeside, especially young lovers, who always like to sit on the rocks.

Just when Guo Kai was about to open the bag and take out the spirit stone inside, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

"Is there anyone?!"

Guo Kai was shocked, this was not good.

Fortunately, the bag hasn't been opened yet, so even if someone sees him digging for something, he can still find an excuse to pass by.

But the sound that sounded immediately behind him made his whole heart tremble.

"Through investigation, I found some clues, all pointing to you. I usually see you as honest and honest, but I don't want to believe it. I didn't expect it to be you!"

"You are so patient. You have waited so long to dig, but you have wasted my tracking energy several times, and I also spent a lot of money on setting up spies to keep an eye on your movements. How do you think you should compensate me? Junior Brother Guo!"

Guo Kai turned around mechanically and looked at Senior Brother Ji Mingfeng with an extremely ugly expression.

Everyone got all the stolen goods and was caught red-handed. Now they can't argue.

It was also his fault that he was too careless and did not notice that Ji Mingfeng was following him.

However, he is only at the fourth level of body tempering, while Ji Mingfeng has reached the seventh level of body tempering. There is a huge difference in strength between the two, and it is difficult to detect even if you pay attention.

"Bring the spirit stone!"

Ji Mingfeng shouted loudly, which made Guo Kai's face look even uglier.

At this point, what else can he do, he can only return the spirit stone honestly first.

Of course, Ji Mingfeng couldn't just let it go once he got the spirit stone.

Before that, he had to check whether the amount was fifty yuan enough.

"Huh? What is this? Stone! You actually replaced all my mid-grade spiritual stones with stones!"

Ji Mingfeng was really angry this time.

It's okay to steal his middle-grade spiritual stone, but now you have to change the spiritual stone into a stone to play with him. It's really boring!

"Stone... stone? How is that possible! It's obviously a middle-grade spiritual stone inside!"

Guo Kai was also stunned.

Indeed, he saw Ji Mingfeng pour out dozens of pebbles from the bag in front of him.

At this time, Guo Kai suddenly changed his words: "Yes, it is a stone. I don't know what spiritual stone you are talking about. Anyway, what I buried is a stone."

Guo Kai smiled secretly in his heart.

I don't know who stole the spirit stone and replaced it with a stone, but now he had a chance to make a quibble. Anyway, no one got everything, so he just had to bite the bullet and not let go. Could Senior Brother Ji force him to confess?

Anyway, within the sect, violence cannot be used without authorization. Violators will be severely punished by the law enforcement hall. Everything must be based on reason and evidence.

"Oh? You mean, you hid this bag of stones?"

Somehow, when faced with Guo Kai's lies, Ji Mingfeng was not as furious as he imagined.

"That's right, what I hid is just a stone, not a mid-grade spiritual stone." Guo Kai calmly nodded in agreement.

"Then please explain, how come my bag containing the stolen spirit stones appears here with you?" Ji Mingfeng sneered while cleaning the bag in a nearby lake.

After the dirt was washed away, the cloth bag showed its original appearance. The workmanship was very exquisite, with the word "season" embroidered in gold thread in the middle.

Guo Kai's head went blank and he had completely forgotten about this. The bag also belonged to Ji Mingfeng, and the key was that it also had an identity mark.

"What? You have nothing to say?"

"Follow me to see the law enforcement elder!"

The evidence was conclusive, so Ji Mingfeng used force to force Guo Kai to the law enforcement hall.

…

Gu Xuan, who returned to his residence, was not in a hurry to absorb the spirit stones for cultivation.

Instead, he was preparing to go out again and go to the Kung Fu Pavilion.

After reaching the fourth level of body tempering, you can not only stay in the sect, but also go to the Kung Fu Pavilion to receive a secret book of Kung Fu.

On the way, they happened to meet Guo Kai and Ji Mingfeng, followed by many disciples.

"I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Ji's spirit stone would be stolen by Guo Kai. You really can't tell a person's face!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"I heard that not only did he steal the spirit stone, but he also replaced it with stone. To this day, he still refuses to tell where he hid the spirit stone."

"Tsk, tsk, how shameless!"

"He's just being tough right now, but when he meets the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall later, he'll be scared."

Many disciples watched the show and talked about it.

Of course, those disciples who had been deceived by Ji Mingfeng felt very happy in their hearts, thinking that this was evil retribution for evil people.

It's just that I feel refreshed, and I can't show it on the surface, lest I be remembered by Ji Mingfeng.

Listening to these conversations, Guo Kai almost cried. He didn't know how the spirit stone turned into stone. Who could he ask to explain to him?
