Beauty and The Bodyguard - Chapter 7221
7221 Chapter 7219-
Lin Yi laughed coldly in his heart. The geographical map appeared at such a coincidental time, and the city guards kicked the door in right after. He wouldn’t believe it if Nangong Yimeng said that they didn’t plan this.
However, what was Nangong Yimeng and Lu Butong’s goal for going through so much trouble?
Catch me for obstructing my entry into the sword spring sect? Or was he suspicious of the Sima clan’s identity and wanted to use this method to verify it?
!!
Or perhaps they were simply buying other things from him, such as the illusory black crystal!
If the map was found, it would prove that Lin Yi had stolen from the Nangong family’s Treasury-anything valuable on him would be considered stolen from the Nangong family!
As the Nangong family’s geographical map system was rather famous, even Jin Yuan Bao had heard of it. If they found it, it would be irrefutable evidence, and Nangong Yimeng could say whatever she wanted!
“Don’t care about what they’re thinking. We’re not afraid of a crooked shadow, so it’s useless no matter how they frame us!”
“Maybe they think we’ve been spending a lot recently, so they’re giving us some money as an excuse!” Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled.
Wu yucao and Ling Hanxue covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Lin Yi was still holding the stack of gold certificates in his hand. What he said did make sense. Didn’t Nangong Yimeng come here to give them money?
“Come, come, come. Anyone who sees it will have a share. This kind of money that fell from the sky, let’s split it together!”
Lin Yi’s finger jabbed into the stack of gold certificates, accurately dividing them into four portions. He gave Wu yucao and the others one each, and kept one for himself.
Wu yucao and the others were too embarrassed to accept it, but Lin Yi didn’t care about the gold certificates at all. He only took a share to show that it was fair.
While they were happily splitting the money, Nangong Yimeng, on the other hand, felt as if he had lost his parents. He and Lu Butong had arrived at a secret base not far from the inn!
This was the place where they had been waiting for their operation. Before they went out, they were still full of pride, but after coming back from the inn, they had no idea what they were feeling.
“Young city Lord Lu, what’s going on? Why can’t I find my family’s geographical map?”
Nangong Yimeng pulled a long face and stuck his fingers into his hair.””Where did that brat Sima Yi hide my family’s geographical map? How am I going to explain this to them when I get back?”
“How would I know what happened? You’re the one who did this, and now you’re asking me?”
Lu Butong paced back and forth in the room and said impatiently,””You said that your family’s map has the function of fixed-point teleportation, so there’s no mistake. Now you can’t find it, so you’re blaming me?”
“There’s definitely no mistake with the fixed teleportation … No, what if we teleport to the room next to Sima Yi ‘s?”
Nangong Yimeng smacked her forehead and got up to return to the inn.””No, there can’t be any problems with the geographical map. I must go back and find it!”
“Come back! Are you stupid? The rooms next to Sima Yi’s are those of his followers. Do you think this young city Lord will let go of those rooms?”
Lu Butong looked at him with disgust,””After they gathered in Sima Yi’s room, the city guards had already searched their rooms to ensure that there were no teleportation errors in the geographical map!”
Of course, it wasn’t impossible to plant some of the Nangong family’s treasures there, but it wouldn’t be convincing enough if they didn’t catch them at the same time. Plus, it wasn’t in Lin Yi’s hands, and it wasn’t enough to solve the problem if Lin Yi’s follower was caught.
Lu Butong had sent people to search Wu yucao’s room just to make sure that the map was not sent to the wrong place.
Nangong Yimeng sat back on the chair dejectedly and muttered in a daze,””What do we do, what do we do? I’ll be beaten to death if I go back and lose the geographical map!”
“Calm down! Thinking about it carefully, the geographical map should be on Sima Yi, but I don’t know what method he used to hide it!”
Lu Butong continued to pace back and forth, and started to analyze,””Those people said that Sima Yi had a black illusory crystal on him, but we didn’t find anything. So the black illusory crystal should also be with the geographical map! As long as we can figure out how Sima Yi hid his things, we might have a chance to retrieve the geographical map and the Obsidian Crystal!”
Nangong Yimeng’s eyes lit up like a drowning person who had grabbed onto the last life-saving straw. “That’s right, that’s right. The black crystal isn’t with Sima Yi. He must have placed it with the geographical map!”
After a slight pause, Nangong Yimeng grumbled,””If I had known that Sima Yi would be so difficult to deal with, I would have dealt with that little black Wildflower Girl earlier. Why would I need to go through so much trouble to deal with her?”
“Nonsense! Those people said that black wildflower only had one black gem on him, but Sima Yi has at least three. Touching black wildflower would alert the enemy, is it worth it for one black gem?”
Lu Butong groaned, feeling sad that he had found a useless teammate. After a short pause, he sighed,””Let’s not talk about those useless things now. Quickly think about what method Sima Yi used to hide the things. For example … When you searched him, did you find him wearing a ring or a necklace?”
“I don’t think so … What’s wrong?”
Nangong Yimeng thought for a while and shook her head slightly.”Could it be that you suspect that Sima Yi doesn’t just have a storage bag?”
Naturally, there were legendary treasures such as storage necklaces and storage rings that were of a higher grade than storage bags. Nangong Yimeng had never thought that these items would exist!
As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi having a storage bag was enough to make him die of envy!
“It’s possible, but it’s a different story if you didn’t notice …”
Lu Butong shook his head. He didn’t remember Lin Yi wearing a ring or necklace before, so he just wanted to confirm.
Unfortunately, their imagination could only reach the level of necklaces and rings. The space in the jade pendant was a magical treasure that had been integrated with the body. They could not even think of it!
After discussing for a long time, they found nothing. Both of them were a little depressed and didn’t know how to explain it. Then they received a letter.
“It was those people who sent the letter. Our actions were all under their surveillance, so they knew that we failed!”
Lu Butong took out the letter and glanced at it, then said in a low voice,””The higher-ups said that this failure will be a lesson, and there must be no mistakes next time! Now that Sima Yi is on guard, it’s impossible to make a move immediately. We’ll wait until we reach the sword spring sect and find another chance!”
“They said it’s a lesson and you think it’s a lesson? Where’s my family’s geographical map system? And what about the gold certificates we lost?”
Nangong Yimeng wanted to die. The gold certificates weren’t important, the geographical map was!
That was a treasure that money couldn’t buy. What if he couldn’t find it?
