I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

Chapter 13 Confrontation in the Main Hall

Jiang Chu and Cheng An's feet just landed in front of the gate of Longyin Immortal Mansion.

His hind feet were pulled away by a strong force.

The main hall of Baihua Peak, Baihua Hall, is brightly lit.

Cheng'an followed Jiang Chu, while Jiang Chu walked into the hall with a vigilant look on his face and glanced at the scene inside.

Inside the main hall, two treasury guards knelt on the ground. Their postures seemed somewhat stiff, as if they were waiting for the decision of fate.

On the main seat in the hall, Jiang Cheng, the head of Baihua Peak, sat like a mountain. Beside him was Jiang Chu's master, Xing Lan.

On the left, Jiang Chu's eldest senior brother Lu Shuyan and third senior brother Feng Xiang were standing, their expressions were different. Lu Shuyan's eyes were full of disgust, while Feng Xiang's peach blossom eyes were flashing with the gleam of watching a good show.

On the opposite side, Bai Huafeng's direct disciples Baili Wuyang and Qi Ren stood quietly, their eyes also focused on Jiang Chu.

Even though Cheng An had revealed the matter of the million high-quality spirit stones in advance, Jiang Chu was still unsure. He didn't know what would happen next.

Jiang Chu calmed his mind, took a step forward, bowed respectfully, and said in a calm but powerful voice: "Greetings to the two masters, all the brothers."

His words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the originally quiet hall fell into silence in an instant.

Xing Lan did not speak, and the master of Baihua Peak did not speak either. The atmosphere in the entire hall became tense and depressing.

Lu Shuyan turned his head away, his eyes revealing his dissatisfaction and disgust towards Jiang Chu. But Feng Xiang seemed to be expecting something, with a playful look in his eyes.

Jiang Chu pretended not to notice this. He smiled and asked in a relaxed tone, "I wonder why the two masters called me back to the sect?"

His voice echoed in the hall, breaking the silence.

Seeing that Xing Lan didn't say anything, Jiang Cheng spoke up himself. His voice was steady and powerful: "You guys talk."

As he spoke, the two guards kneeling on the ground began to narrate what had happened.

"Yes. Reporting to the two masters, we are the guards of the treasury. Today, the elders checked and found that one million high-grade spirit stones were missing and not registered. After checking one by one, they finally found that Brother Jiang Chu had sneaked into the treasury using the token of the head of Baihua Peak."

"I later checked with the head of Bai Huafeng, but was told that I had never given my token to Senior Brother Jiang Chu."

Their voices echoed in the hall, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jiang Chu's heart.

As the guard spoke, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Chu, their eyes filled with confusion, suspicion and even anger.

Jiang Chu raised his head and his eyes met with his master Xing Lan who was sitting nearby.

Xing Lan's expression remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Chu was struggling internally, wondering whether he should just admit it directly or trust his master and his judgment and intuition.

Lu Shuyan's voice broke Jiang Chu's contemplation. His voice was cold and sharp: "Jiang Chu, it's useless for you to look at the master at this time. Tell the truth."

Jiang Chu took a deep breath. He knew that no matter what the outcome was, he had to face it.

Jiang Chu's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he sighed inwardly.

Since the spirit stone has been given to the master, the master has not said anything yet.

There are only two reasons.

1. Master believed in himself and wanted to use this incident to find other suspicious people.

2. Master wants to punish himself for the matter of one million spirit stones.

If it was really the second one, he would accept it completely.

As a punishment, I will leave Xingchen Peak and Longyin Immortal Mansion.

Thinking of this, a determined light flashed in Jiang Chu's eyes.

He curved his eyes and smiled easily: "What? I don't lack spiritual stones, what do I need to do with the treasure house? Besides, when have I ever taken a token? You're talking to me and I'm completely confused."

The guard kneeling in the middle turned around and looked at Jiang Chu carefully: "Brother Jiang, although you changed your clothes and no longer put on makeup on your face, your appearance and stature have not changed." There was obvious suspicion in his words.

Jiang Chu smiled slightly and turned his gaze to his master Xing Lan, whose expression remained unchanged.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt relieved.

An inexplicable trust surged from the bottom of his heart, as if the master was silently telling him that as long as he was here, he would be fine.

"A million spirit stones will be discovered if moved. Whoever dares to take them is not a fool." Jiang Chu still looked at the guard on the ground with a strange expression, and there was speechlessness in his voice.

Qi Ren, the second senior brother of Bai Huafeng, laughed and said, "Haha, Jiang Chu, you are really good at playing crazy and stupid. You don't think that you can clear your suspicion by denying it here, right?" His voice was full of sarcasm.

"Jiang Chu, if you are really wrong, admit it honestly." Lu Shuyan's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Jiang Chu looked at the guard kneeling on the ground with a smile, without blushing or beating his heart. "I don't have it, I just don't have it."

While denying, he looked at his master on the high seat. His master still had a blank expression on his face, and Jiang Chu felt more confident.

Then he turned to Qi Ren and said, "Why? You lost the spirit stones because your master's token was lost. Do you want to blame it on us at Xingchen Peak?"

He deliberately angered Qi Ren, wanting to take the opportunity to see the changes in the people around him.

Qi Ren's face flushed with anger: "Jiang Chu, stop slandering me! We at Baihuafeng are upright and honest, how could we do such a shameless thing." His voice was a little fluctuating because of anger.

"In the entire Longyin Immortal Mansion, only you, Jiang Chu, can do such a shameless thing." Qi Ren was still roaring.

Jiang Chu looked up at the high seat with grievance: "My two masters, I really didn't do it. I am wronged."

"If not, just search my body and my cave." Jiang Chu's voice was filled with grievance.

As if he had suffered great humiliation, his eyes were actually looking around at everyone present.

Qi Ren sneered: "You don't think that we won't search your body and house just because you offered to search them, do you?" There was contempt in his voice.

"Jiang Chu, I tell you, your method of doing the opposite will not work in the hall." Qi Ren's voice was full of threats.

Jiang Chu spread his hands and said, "Come on. We can search now." His attitude was calm, as if everything was under his control.

Cheng An behind him suddenly received a secret order from his superiors, right next to his ear.

The secret order said: After Jiang Chu's mustard seed bag and cave are searched, if you fall accidentally, someone will naturally search you.

Cheng An's face turned pale and his eyebrows twitched when he heard this. Why weren't the millions of high-quality spirit stones used to help the demons with their plan, but only to frame Jiang Chu?

Will it really not be wasted?

But Cheng'an didn't dare to disobey and could only respond in their own way.

it is good.

"Everyone knows that you wanted to bid for an ownerless secret realm a few days ago. That auction house is also very famous in the cultivation world. They need to verify whether there are so many spirit stones."

"You are sitting in the auction seat. Where do your spirit stones come from?" Qi Ren continued to be aggressive.

Jiang Chu sneered in his heart, this Qi Ren looked very much like a spy from the demon clan.

But Jiang Chu silently denied it. Generally, barking dogs don't bite. This person might just be being used, not a real spy.

Xing Lan still looked calm, and even sipped the fragrant tea boldly. It was obvious that Qi Ren's reaction did not make him feel wrong.

"Master, I think this man must be searched on the spot, and he must not be allowed to go to his cave alone! We need to send the law enforcement hall of the sect to go there."

Jiang Chu frowned: "Why? What if you touch the things in my cave?"

Jiang Chu was anxious on purpose.

"Humph, I think you are guilty of your crime." Qi Ren raised his chin proudly, turned his head and bowed:

"Second Master, if the theft is true, what punishment would be given this amount?"

Jiang Cheng glanced at Xing Lan, who still had a calm expression. Xing Lan turned and looked back at Jiang Cheng.

"Since you have committed a crime under my tutelage, everything will be decided by our Master."

Jiang Cheng retracted his gaze and turned to look down.

"There is no conclusive evidence at the moment. We will make a decision after everything is settled."

It sounded like his master didn't even give him face and gave an outsider a way out.

Qi Ren was so angry that he was breathing heavily: "Master! This is a done deal! What are you waiting for?"

Jiang Chu sneered: "What if you can't find it?"

"With such a large battle, what will you do if you can't find it?"

"Then I will immediately apologize to you and the entire Xingchen Peak."

"Just apologize? Alas." Jiang Chu shook his head in disagreement.

"Jiang Chu, don't go too far!" Qi Ren was furious.

Although Lu Shuyan was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Chu's attitude, he could not tolerate others bullying his master.

But he was the eldest brother and couldn't speak.

Feng Xiang took a step forward and smiled lazily: "Junior Brother Qi Ren, it seems that you cannot represent the entire Baihua Peak and Longyin Immortal Mansion."

"Then I will kneel in Wuhua Square and apologize on behalf of my master!" Qi Ren was completely enraged.

Some of the words he said were impulsive.

Wuhua Square is the main square of Longyin Immortal Mansion. That is to say, if you kneel there, all the disciples of the three peaks will know.

It will also alarm the master of Longyin Immortal Mansion.

As soon as these words came out, the senior brother Baili Wuyang standing beside him frowned: "Qi Ren, don't be impulsive."

"Okay! It's a deal." Jiang Chu raised the corners of his lips.

The two masters sitting on the seat had no expression on their faces.

"In that case, please ask the brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall to go to Jiang Chu's cave to investigate." Jiang Cheng said.

Soon someone flew out of the hall to do it.

However, Lu Shuyan and Feng Xiang looked at each other and saw weirdness and surprise in each other's eyes.

For a moment, they couldn't tell where Jiang Chu's strangeness came from.

Baili Wuyang and Qi Ren couldn't help but become suspicious when they saw Jiang Chu's confident look.

Qi Ren looked at Jiang Chu angrily. He was too cunning. Maybe he had already sold the stolen goods and was waiting to trick him.

But on second thought, things have come to this point, it would be a pity to give up now, maybe this guy is just bluffing...

While his mind was still struggling, Jiang Chu had already started taking off his clothes.

He took off his outer robe without hesitation, threw it aside, and then smiled and gestured to invite him: "You're welcome, take your time to search."

After all the trouble, Qi Ren's face changed as he found nothing except some small change.

But still calm.

"Those who cultivate immortality, all your things are in the mustard seed bag." Qi Ren stared at Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu threw the mustard seed bag into Qi Ren's hand indifferently.

Qi Ren of course couldn't break the restriction by himself, so he knelt in the main hall holding the mustard seed bag in his hand.

"Please, Master, display the items in the mustard bag one by one."

Jiang Cheng glanced at Xing Lan, and Xing Lan made a look of invitation.

So Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and the hall was instantly filled with items in mustard bags.

There is gold, land deeds, spiritual stones, public laws, and even clothes, bedding and wardrobes.

After everyone scanned the area with their spiritual sense, they were certain that there were only a few hundred thousand high-quality spirit stones inside.

Although he was already very ambitious, he was still far away from earning a million spirit stones.

Baili Wuyang quietly shook his head at Qi Ren.

Qi Ren's face turned dark.

Stick to the spot.

Jiang Chu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Why? Is there anything you want?"

"Jiang Chu, you——" Qi Ren was so provoked that he jumped up and down.
