Chapter 9 Everyone's physical constitution is different
Lin Xiaoyou stood on the stage, watching this scene, but did not rush to speak.
Deacon Wu remained unmoved.
"Brother Li Shi's side is his side."
"What happened to us today has nothing to do with him."
"After all, you don't want Senior Brother Li Shi to know about this, right?"
Zhao Cheng took a deep breath.
"Deacon Wu, this disciple accepts the punishment."
"The issue of betting odds was due to my greed."
"Moreover, this is indeed a violation of the rules, and I am willing to accept the punishment and let Steward Wu and the sect decide my fate."
"But that has nothing to do with Xiao Bi."
After Zhao Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
"Junior Brother Lin won, the reward will still be given."
"I will also pay Liu Ye's monthly allowance on his behalf."
"I'll replace the half of your Soul Shard that I deducted."
Zhao Cheng took out the fragmented spirit from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
His movements were very steady, showing no sign of panic.
Then Zhao Cheng took a step back and quietly looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
Lin Xiaoyou remained silent, only staring at the shattered spirit on the table.
This is Zhao Cheng.
If given the chance to kick a dog when it's down, Zhao Cheng will not hesitate to do so, even if the dog has no grudge against him.
But if things become unmanageable, Zhao Cheng is not lacking in the courage to cut his losses and survive.
Admit what needs to be admitted, and back down when necessary.
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes flickered slightly.
Only the Jade Capital Wheel can open divine consciousness and use a storage bag.
It's not surprising that Zhao Cheng, who has reached the initial stage of the embryonic breathing realm, has a storage bag.
But this storage bag probably contains more than just betting money.
Deacon Wu looked at Zhao Cheng but didn't say anything.
Zhao Cheng then said, "Steward Wu, the preliminary competition is not over yet."
"Disciples should not disrupt order."
"After the competition ends, I will go with Deacon Wu to receive my punishment."
That's a well-said statement.
Admit the minor mistake first.
To compress things into a betting pool.
No deductions were mentioned.
Don't mention the shady dealings.
They didn't even mention that Senior Brother Wang had taken the Green Beard Grass.
Meanwhile, Zhao Cheng kept the matter between himself and Steward Wu, remaining silent about the matter of embezzling sect allowances.
Lin Xiaoyou sneered inwardly.
Zhao Cheng is indeed quite capable of managing things.
Lin Xiaoyou suddenly spoke up: "Senior Brother Zhao."
"I have another debt to settle."
Zhao Cheng looked over.
"you say."
Lin Xiaoyou took the small porcelain bottle out of his pocket.
This is the Qi-Nourishing Pill I just received; it's untouched.
Zhao Cheng has gone too far; he's not going to tolerate it any longer.
Lin Xiaoyou uncorked the bottle and poured out the pills.
The pill was only the size of a soybean, grayish in color, and had cracks around the edges.
Some people in the audience changed their expressions.
"Why is it another useless pill?"
"You didn't see it? That's exactly what it was."
"We're already lucky to have medicine to take when we break through the embryonic breathing stage, let alone dare to hope for proper elixirs."
"I'm experiencing this too this month."
"I'm short half a Qi-Nourishing Pill."
Zhao Cheng's face darkened.
"Young friend Lin."
"The pills did pass through my hands, that's for sure."
"You mean I should switch pills?"
Lin Xiaoyou nodded.
A collective gasp rippled through the audience.
Zhao Cheng stared at him.
"Where's the evidence?"
These three words again.
Lin Xiaoyou looked at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng shrugged: "Without evidence, it's slander."
"You've just gotten your chance, and you're already trying to bite the hand that feeds you."
"Young friend Lin, I understand you want to establish your authority."
"But establishing authority isn't about biting indiscriminately."
"And there was something wrong with this pill, why didn't you say so at the time?"
"I think you, young friend Lin, secretly switched out these inferior Qi-cultivating pills."
"How dare you slander me, the manager?"
"Insubordination and defamation of your senior brother in the sect, very well, I admire your audacity."
Zhao Cheng smiled.
This time it was a genuine laugh.
Zhao Cheng turned to Deacon Wu.
"Sir, this disciple requests that this person be apprehended and sent to the Enforcement Hall for questioning."
Deacon Wu did not move.
He looked at Lin Xiaoyou.
"evidence."
Lin Xiaoyou remained silent.
He has no evidence.
Having the discarded pills doesn't prove that Zhao Cheng replaced them.
That's the most disgusting part of this whole thing.
Everyone knew there was something wrong with the elixir.
But no one could produce any evidence.
In the system space.
Li Xun also frowned.
"This Zhao Cheng is quite something."
"No wonder he was able to become a manager."
[A user has encountered an evidentiary dilemma.]
[User background record query can be enabled.]
Li Xun was taken aback.
"This feature is available?"
[Only events related to the user's account can be queried after the account is bound.]
[Consumable: 50M/time]
Li Xun's eyelid twitched.
"You really know how to pick your timing."
He looked at the screen.
If Lin Xiaoyou is falsely accused now, the satisfying moment of being slapped in the face earlier will be cut short.
Moreover, the traffic from the servants' quarters has been wasted.
50M, switch to another channel.
value.
Of course, the most important thing is whether Lin Xiaoyou can pay for this data traffic.
Who will pay for the data usage?
[Can be specified by the host.]
"Okay, deduct double Lin Xiaoyou's data usage. If that's not enough, deduct it from his future data usage."
"Investigate for him."
[Searching...]
[Record 1: When user Lin Xiaoyou received his monthly allowance, Zhao Cheng deducted half a Soul Stone.]
[Record 2: This batch of Peiyuan Pills has been swapped out en masse.]
[Record 3: The same batch of normal Qi-cultivating pills were handed over to the disciple surnamed Wang in the outer courtyard by Zhao Cheng last night.]
[Should SMS evidence be generated?]
Li Xun's eyes lit up.
"generate."
[The text message evidence must be sent to the user.]
"hair."
[Deduct 3M.]
On the martial arts stage.
Lin Xiaoyou's mind suddenly jolted.
Dear customer with outstanding payment,
The evidence has been obtained.
Last night at midnight, Zhao Cheng gave Wang Yuan of the outer courtyard thirty-seven genuine Peiyuan Pills in exchange for six spirit stones.
[Related item: Wang Yuan's waist storage bag.]
[After deducting the 100MB query fee, the current user's remaining data usage is -50MB.]
Lin Xiaoyou's eyes narrowed.
Wang Yuan.
That's Senior Brother Wang, who took his green beard grass last month.
He is also Zhao Cheng's brother-in-law.
it is good.
They're connected.
Lin Xiaoyou looked up at Zhao Cheng.
"Senior Brother Zhao, did you see Wang Yuan last night?"
A subtle change flashed in Zhao Cheng's eyes.
very short.
But that's enough.
"I see a lot of people every day."
Lin Xiaoyou smiled.
"Last night, you took a total of thirty-seven Qi-Nourishing Pills and exchanged them for six spirit stones with Wang Yuan from the outer courtyard."
"Yes and no?"
Zhao Cheng fell silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
Deacon Wu sat up straight.
"Thirty-seven?"
Lin Xiaoyou cupped his hands and said, "Deacon Wu, I can testify that last night at midnight, Senior Brother Zhao handed over thirty-seven genuine Peiyuan Pills to Wang Yuan of the Outer Court in exchange for six spirit stones."
"The pills we received were all discarded pills that he had switched."
Zhao Cheng shouted, "You're talking nonsense!"
Lin Xiaoyou pointed to the pill in his hand.
"The waste pills are here."
He then pointed to the crowd below the stage.
"My fellow disciples also have some."
"If Senior Brother Zhao says that the pills issued by the alchemy room are defective, then let the alchemy room come and make the determination."
"If the alchemy room does not acknowledge it, then please ask Steward Wu to invite Senior Brother Wang Yuan here for a face-to-face confrontation."
Lin Xiaoyou paused for a moment.
Zhao Cheng's expression finally changed.
Deacon Wu stood up.
Go and call Wang Yuan.
Zhao Cheng immediately said, "Steward Wu, regarding this matter..."
Deacon Wu glanced at Zhao Cheng.
"Shut up."
After uttering those two words, Zhao Cheng's lips moved, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
The servants and disciples below the stage erupted in uproar.
"That bastard Zhao Cheng, he's finally been caught!"
"My cultivation level hasn't improved in six months, and that's why!"
"Brother, is your cultivation level really declining because of insufficient Qi-Nourishing Pills?"
"Mind your own business! You're not me, how do you know it won't affect me much!"
"Everyone's constitution is different. I'm the type whose cultivation speed slows down considerably without the Qi-Nourishing Pill!"
"My Qi-Nourishing Pill is also a substandard product!"
