Chapter 12: No Dining Partner, Create One

"Traitor! Are you happy that the school was blown up?"

"Um."

Meng Zhi's heartfelt "hmm" made Elder Qi's blood pressure soar again.

"What are the others doing here? Are they going to be punished along with him?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Ye Xingzhou found a blind spot in Elder Qi's vision and sneakily poked his head out from behind the wall.

"Junior Brother Ye, squat a little more and don't block my eyes."

"Shh, don't talk."

Behind his head, there was a series of heads of other senior brothers.

Who doesn’t want to enjoy the show on the spot?

Meng Zhi could just see the row of heads lined up from low to high behind Elder Qi.

Especially when seeing Ye Xingzhou's sneaky actions, Meng Zhi looked away speechlessly.

Elder Qi is in the Spirit Transformation Stage, so he can naturally sense whether there is someone behind him.

A bunch of fools.

He didn't even hold his breath.

It's as if you didn't hide at all.

"Meng Zhi, ah Meng Zhi, tell me, are the elders treating you badly? If you have any dissatisfaction with the academy, you can raise it. Why do you have to do such a treasonous thing?"

"I didn't blow up the school."

Meng Zhi still said this.

Seeing that Meng Zhi was still stubborn, Elder Qi flicked his sleeves and said nothing more, waiting for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to arrive.

It’s no wonder that Elder Qi blamed Meng Zhi first.

The main reason is that Meng Zhi is very annoying and has caused countless troubles in the past.

So, after this happened, everyone subconsciously thought that it was Meng Zhi who did it again.

Ye Xingzhou looked at Meng Zhi's indifferent expression, as if thinking about something.

Based on his current understanding of Meng Zhi, if Meng Zhi says it’s not him, then it really isn’t him.

If Meng Zhi really blew up the school, he would have to sit on the ruins in a high-profile manner to let everyone know it was him.

Of course, the probability of Meng Zhi blowing up the school is very low.

One third of the buildings in Yantian Sect were built with spiritual stones invested by Meng Zhi's family.

The Meng family is the largest family in Nanmu Country. They are rich enough to rival a country and have no shortage of money to build houses.

Blowing up the mansion is not as interesting as being shameless.

Unless one day Meng Zhi no longer stays in Yantian Sect, it would be more credible for him to choose to blow up the school before leaving.

But it is impossible for the school to collapse on its own.

There is only one situation left.

Someone whom Meng Zhi had offended deliberately blew up the school in order to put the blame on Meng Zhi.

What a huge grudge this is.

Ye Xingzhou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Meng Zhi.

Half an incense stick later, Elder Sha arrived late.

As soon as I landed, I was a little confused when I saw the ruins on the ground.

"What's going on? I remember this was a school."

"Take the man to the Law Enforcement Hall and interrogate him yourself." Elder Qi didn't want to say anything else.

"OK."

Meng Zhi did not resist and followed Elder Sha obediently.

After everyone left, Elder Qi turned his head and saw a row of heads.

"Have you seen enough?"

Ye Xingzhou ran away.

Others followed closely behind.

Elder Qi let out a breath of foul air.

"A bunch of traitors."

The inner disciples have their own strengths but also their own personalities, and each of them is a child of destiny.

It’s different for outer disciples. They have no strength, and are immune to elixirs, talismans, swords, or physical attacks. They just join in the fun and run away faster than anyone else.

The only one who is smiling all day long is Elder Qi.

Ren Wangzhu had not returned yet, so Ye Xingzhou had no one to eat with during dinner time.

The dining partner is not here, but the dining partner’s food must be here.

Ye Xingzhou's senior brother who was in charge of serving meals asked for an extra portion of food.

Seeing the tempting color of the twice-cooked pork, Ye Xingzhou couldn't help but put two pieces into his own bowl, and then put Ren Wangzhu's portion into the storage bag.

Then Ye Xingzhou walked around with the bowl of rice.

If you don’t have a meal partner, then make one.

Besides, mealtime gossip is the best time to get information.

Therefore, Ye Xingzhou successfully mixed in with the eight people at the table by virtue of his thick skin.

The leader, Zhao Feng, was the most gossipy of all the outer disciples. Ye Xingzhou didn't need to ask at all, because Zhao Feng had already gossiped from Dan Peak to the neighboring Lingjian Peak.

What Zhao Feng said was a mixture of truth and lies. Ye Xingzhou spent a long time trying to figure out some useful information.

Immortal Wujian has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years.

The eldest disciple Chao Fuyun handled the affairs of the peak on behalf of Immortal Venerable Wujian.

The second disciple, Mu Liushui, went down the mountain to gain experience, and his return date is uncertain.

The third disciple, Gu Qingshan, went to Dongyin Country to deal with the disappearance of the spiritual vein and has not returned yet.

According to these pieces of information, Chao Fuyun in Lingjian Peak is the most suspicious.

But we still need to observe more to find out who the man in black robe is.

When he finds the man in black robe, he will definitely make him taste the pain of having his head cut off!

Ye Xingzhou picked up a piece of meat and chewed it hard.

Twice-cooked pork, so delicious!

While I was eating, the bowl of rice in front of me was taken away by a hand.

???

Who took his job?

When Ye Xingzhou looked up, the bowl was in Meng Zhi's hand.

Behind him were two monks from the Law Enforcement Hall dressed in black.

The left one is named Jiang Ke and the right one is named Shan Huai. They are known as the Two-Faced Yama. Jiang Ke is good at attacking people's hearts with words, while Shan Huai is good at using means to convince people. They are both ruthless in their own way.

"Is it illegal for me to eat?"

Ye Xingzhou was still chewing meat in his mouth and his speech was slurred.

Seeing Ye Xingzhou's dazed look, the two people from the Law Enforcement Hall looked at each other.

Jiang Ke said: "Eating is not against the law. I came to the school and I have something to ask you."

"oh."

Ye Xingzhou stood up, and the first thing he did was to grab his bowl and eat while walking.

Meng Zhi held his forehead with his hand, "Are you a reincarnated ghost who died of starvation?"

"Have you ever tried twice-cooked pork? How would you know how delicious it is if you've been eating fasting pills all day?"

Ye Xingzhou spoke with a profound look on his face. Glancing at the greasy light at the corner of his mouth, Meng Zhi automatically took three steps away from him.

He was afraid that Ye Xingzhou would smear oil on him.

This is the first time I see someone eating in front of the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Perhaps it was because their eyes were too obvious about staring at the bowl, Ye Xingzhou protected his bowl immediately.

"If you want to eat, go ask Brother Zhao for it."

Look at how protective it is of its food.

If you don’t know, you would think that this bowl of rice is nectar from heaven.

However, I have to say that after looking at it for a long time, I do have a slight appetite.

When they arrived at the school, Ye Xingzhou had just finished his meal.

As soon as the meal was over, Ye Xingzhou had time to pay attention to the current situation.

"Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Brother Shan, you wouldn't suspect that the collapse of the school had anything to do with me, would you?"

Jiang Ke hummed.

"I?"

Ye Xingzhou pointed at himself with confused eyes.

No, how could he have the ability to blow up the school?

Jiang Ke did not respond. He made a hand gesture and spiritual energy began to spread out, gradually evolving into the shape of a school.

"Is that your seat in the corner?"

Ye Xingzhou looked at the area that was most severely bombed and nodded.

"Did you turn in the blasting talisman you drew?"

"No, Elder Qi won't accept my talismans."

"Where did you put it?"

"It's stuck in the hole in the table."

Ye Xingzhou realized it belatedly, "Brother Jiang, are you saying that the explosion might have been caused by my talisman?"

"If nothing unexpected happens."

Ye Xingzhou opened his eyes wide.

Wow, could he be the hidden Chosen Talisman Master? !

Or the chosen talisman master who doesn’t need any spiritual energy!

Don’t mention it, he has traveled through time, so maybe this is really possible!

Shanhuai took out the talisman and pen and placed them in front of Ye Xingzhou.

"Draw two more blasting talismans, just like this morning."

Ye Xingzhou suppressed his excitement and began to paint quickly in the dim light from the horizon.

He had drawn the talisman five or six times over and over again that morning, so he had almost memorized the pattern of the talisman.

It is also smooth to draw with the pen.

This big scene is really easy to scare people.

Meng Zhi came over out of rare curiosity.

Could it be that this rotten wood Ye Xingzhou is really a talisman master?

The final stroke of a talisman was completed under the watchful eyes of several people.

"Why is there no spiritual energy?" Jiang Ke asked.

"I didn't use any spiritual energy in the painting I did this morning."

Shanhuai still picked up the talisman professionally and threw it out with a skeptical attitude.

However, the imagined explosion did not occur.

The talisman broke into two pieces because Shanhuai threw it too hard.

The scene fell into complete silence.

Shanhuai was a little embarrassed.

Meng Zhi couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Isn't it just a lot of thunder but little rain? No, there's not even any rain."

Ye Xingzhou's excitement disappeared and his face turned bitter again.

"What? I thought I was some kind of chosen talisman master."

Meng Zhi did not forget to finish off the opponent.

"I'm dreaming before I even go to bed."

"Ye Xingzhou, do you need me to help you wake up?"

"If you are really a talisman master, I will help you build a new school if you blow it up."

That little mouth looks like it's covered with honey.

Meng Zhi would be poisoned to death if he licked his lips.
