In the room.
As soon as Jiang Deng digested the energy of the Spirit-Enhancing Fruit, the pain in his sea of consciousness disappeared immediately, and Asu's screams also stopped.
Jiang Deng slowly got up from the ground. There was no sign of fatigue on her face. Instead, she looked energetic and full of spirit.
Ah Tu sincerely admired him and said, "Jiang Deng, you are really amazing, but I can't do it anymore... I have to go to sleep for a while."
"Hehehe, Ah Tu, thank you."
Jiang Deng thanked him sincerely.
Just now, if A-Tu had not helped her bear some of the pain, she might not have been able to digest the energy of the Spirit-Enhancing Fruit so quickly.
"It's nothing. After all, we are now a whole. We prosper together and suffer together. Just don't commit suicide easily in the future."
Although Ah Tu complained, he didn't have any expectations in his heart.
Doesn’t Jiang Deng look like someone who wouldn’t seek death?
Well...she felt it was mysterious enough.
Thinking of this, Asu's mood became even heavier. In order to be able to help Jiang Deng collect his body when he failed in his attempt to commit suicide in the future, Asu quickly went into seclusion to practice.
Jiang Deng began to test the effects of taking the Spirit-Enhancing Fruit.
Now, her spiritual consciousness has transformed into divine consciousness, and the divine consciousness in her sea of consciousness is more resilient than before and covers a wider area.
Jiang Deng closed her eyes and released her spiritual sense impatiently. She did not forget to avoid Duan Chuan who lived in the main hall. Her spiritual sense left the palace and spread in all directions.
His spiritual sense easily penetrated the darkness, and Jiang Deng could see everything that was happening outside the hall.
But soon, Jiang Deng caught the abnormality.
A series of footsteps sounded.
A group of people were rapidly moving towards this side. The leader was Lin Jun, who was dressed in imperial robes. Behind him were Wu Dan and a group of guards.
Why is Lin Jun here?
Could it be that Chengfeng failed to divert their attention, so she was exposed?
Jiang Deng was startled and didn't bother to check the other functions of his spiritual sense. He quickly withdrew his spiritual sense, messed up his clothes, and returned to bed.
Sure enough, the next moment, this group of people drove straight into the palace.
Bang!
The door of the room where Jiang Deng lived was violently kicked open from outside.
"Ginger Lantern!"
Lin Jun's voice rang out, suppressing his anger.
Jiang Deng seemed to be awakened from her sleep and sat up immediately. Her clothes were disheveled and she looked like she had just gotten out of bed.
"Yawn—what are you doing, you guys, not sleeping so late at night?"
Jiang Deng yawned and asked in confusion.
Lin Jun's eyes flickered with a faint fire. "What do you think? If you hadn't stolen the treasures from the warehouse, why would I bring people to look for you in the middle of the night?"
"What? Something in the warehouse was stolen?"
Jiang Deng was shocked at first, then he put on an indignant look, "Who did this? This is too much!"
Lin Jun sneered, "...Ha, keep pretending!"
"How am I pretending?"
Jiang Deng continued to pretend.
Lin Jun's patience was completely exhausted. Without saying anything else, he raised his hand and ordered, "Search! Search the room, and I will search Jiang Deng's storage bag."
"Wait a minute."
A male voice sounded from outside the door.
Jiang Deng looked up and saw Duan Chuan, who lived in the main hall, coming out.
Probably because he came out in too haste, Duan Chuan's clothes were not tidy. He was only wearing a loose undershirt, exposing most of his chest, which was very unmanly.
However, Duan Chuan seemed to care more about his sword than his clothes. He still held his broken sword firmly in his arms and said seriously, "Big Brother, it doesn't seem appropriate to search my subordinates in my residence, does it?"
Lin Jun took a deep breath. Considering that Duan Chuan was much stronger than him, he could only explain reluctantly: "My warehouse was robbed, and all the evidence points to Jiang Deng. It was she who stole the treasures in the warehouse!"
Duan Chuan's eyes showed a hint of inquiry. "Big Brother, are you saying that I ordered my own subordinates to steal from your warehouse?"
"...I didn't mean that," Lin Jun said speechlessly. "I just felt that your sword servant was pretending to obey me, but secretly disobeying me. It was her own idea to steal from my storehouse."
"I see."
Duan Chuan nodded and looked at Jiang Deng in the room, "Tell the Emperor, did you steal it?"
Jiang Deng calmly got out of bed and said in a firm tone, "God is my witness, I didn't steal!"
Of course she didn't steal it.
She disguised herself as Lin Jun and took it openly! Or perhaps you could say... she robbed it.
"Big Brother, did you see that?" Duan Chuan quickly replied, "I believe the thief who stole from your storehouse is not my sword servant."
Lin Jun gritted his teeth, "But I don't believe her! Today, I must search here thoroughly."
"……OK."
Seeing that Lin Jun was so determined, Duan Chuan didn't dare to push him too hard.
After all, even if the eldest senior brother recovered his cultivation from his previous life, he would still not be his match. If the eldest senior brother held a grudge against him because of this incident, wouldn't he be in trouble?
"Okay, I can let you search, but..."
Realizing that being searched was a foregone conclusion, Jiang Deng no longer resisted and agreed directly. The corners of her lips curved up, "What if you can't find it?"
Lin Jun pursed his lips, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, "I can apologize to you."
"How can an apology alone make up for the harm you've caused me?" Jiang Deng quickly replied, "Of course you have to compensate me for my damaged pride. I don't ask for much, how about a thousand top-grade spirit stones?"
"One thousand top-grade spirit stones?!"
Wu Dan yelled, "Why don't you go and grab it!"
One thousand top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones.
His Majesty the Human Emperor has just returned to the throne and is in need of money. Such a large sum of money is very important to them, right?
Not only was Wu Dan panicked, but even Lin Jun's face looked unhappy.
Jiang Deng scratched his ear and said with a hint of disgust: "It seems that being a domain master is not so good. I can't even take out this small amount of money."
Duan Chuan nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Right! If you don't accept this apology, I will not allow you to search."
It doesn't make sense. He is the only one who gives gifts to the eldest senior brother, but the eldest senior brother doesn't even give him a gift in return, right?
Take advantage of this opportunity to get back as much as you can!
“…”
Lin Jun's face darkened.
Jiang Deng and Lin Jun are indeed in the same group. Their greed for money is exactly the same.
"good!"
Lin Jun gritted his teeth and agreed, "I promise you, if you don't find what I'm looking for, you will give Jiang Deng a thousand top-grade spirit stones as an apology."
"Hehehe, then I will be disrespectful to refuse."
Jiang Deng walked forward enthusiastically and opened his arms towards Lin Jun, "Come on, I'm ready!"
