Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1314: Let Me Borrow Her for a While
Hearing Jiangli’s response, the cramps in Xia Xin’s stomach finally stopped.
He thought, how could those things taste so strange, eating and drinking without any sensation.
Turns out they had long been neutralized by the ancestor.
He Ruomei’s eyes widened in disbelief, her black pupils seemed about to fall out, "You, you knew all along?"
Jiangli chuckled, "Yes, from the first moment I saw you, I found you very strange."
Especially...
She sensed a faintly familiar aura from He Ruomei.
The aura was very faint.
At first, Jiangli thought it was just her senses playing tricks on her.
Later, when she helped in the kitchen, she paid attention and confirmed her feeling was right.
He Ruomei had something she wanted to find.
But the aura was very weak, the item should not be with He Ruomei.
Pretending to tour, she discreetly inspected He Ruomei’s house and confirmed the item wasn’t there either.
But if He Ruomei’s change was related to that item, and it wasn’t on her, it had to be somewhere He Ruomei felt very secure leaving it.
What place could that be, Jiangli really didn’t know.
She had no choice but to let He Ruomei go fishing.
And that item was her Spiritual Bone.
The Spiritual Bone retained a trace of her Spiritual Power, making it a treasure for ordinary people and evil beings alike.
For He Ruomei, naturally, it was crucial as well.
If she could escape, she would certainly seek out the Spiritual Bone; possessing it meant she had a chance to survive.
To He Ruomei, trustworthy places were no more than her home and the inn.
After all, leaving it elsewhere was too easily discovered.
Where there is a secret room in an inn, there could be a second secret room.
However, due to Xia Xin’s discovery of a secret room, Jiangli didn’t continue searching for a possible next secret room and went to He Ruomei’s house instead.
That only left letting He Ruomei out to search for it for them.
Sure enough, He Ruomei took them to find the secret room and her — Spiritual Bone.
If she hadn’t gone easy on her, how could He Ruomei, not even counting as a fierce ghost, possibly escape from her grasp?
He Ruomei, hearing Jiangli’s words, realized the truth.
From start to finish, Jiangli had been using her.
He Ruomei slumped to the ground in despair.
The crowd heard Jiangli’s words and felt a little surprised, most were wondering what the bone had to do with Jiangli.
It seemed that item originally belonged to Jiangli.
Bai Changfeng looked at Jiangli, pondering the same issue.
Why did it feel like Jiangli was always searching for the Spiritual Bone?
However, how could a normal person’s Spiritual Bone be stripped away so much and scattered across different places?
Jiangli... what happened before?
Jiangli sensed the gazes on herself, looked up and met Bai Changfeng’s eyes, directly asking, "Now that the person causing havoc is found, and the whereabouts of those missing tourists are determined, does this mean the second round of the competition is over?"
Bai Changfeng was taken aback and nodded subconsciously, "I suppose it does."
Jiangli nodded, "As long as it’s over."
With that said, she walked over, raised a hand, and the Formation Yu Misheng set on He Ruomei disappeared.
Yu Misheng and the people from Sang Country were taken aback seeing this.
Jiangli, as if no one else were present, lifted He Ruomei as effortlessly as picking up a chick.
"Then, let me borrow her for a bit, I need her to show me the way."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiangli carried He Ruomei and walked out.
Xun Tianhai’s eyes widened, realizing, "No, Abbot, where are you going at this hour? We have to wait for Uncle Pei Jiu to come and settle things—"
