âWait!â
A cold and stern male voice was heard. It was Lin Bai, who had walked out of the room after hearing the commotion. He knew that this was the trouble caused by Little Treasure. He could not hide in the room like a coward.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Little Treasure seemed to know that he had caused trouble. At this moment, he was facing the wall in the pet dimension and reflecting his mistake. Lin Bai walked out without changing his expression, but the Shao family disciples were eyeing him covetously.
After all, many of the things that were lost were used to heal injuries. They suspected that the thief must have some connection with Lin Bai. Perhaps it was the person closest to him. However, they would never have thought that the thief would be Lin Baiâs pet, Little Treasure.
The Shao family disciple said bluntly, âLin Bai, you heard what we said just now. If you know whatâs good for you, hurry up and tell us who that person is. Otherwise, weâll definitely punish you for covering up.â
Lin Baiâs expression was calm. âYou donât have any evidence. You just saw a shadow that ran into our courtyard. Isnât that a bit too arbitrary?â
Hearing his quibbling words, the Shao familyâs disciple could not contain his anger. âCould we be wrong? The thief must be one of you!â
Lin Bai shook his head and said, âIâm not saying that you were wrong. Itâs just that if he was just passing by, it would have nothing to do with us.â
âHow could it have nothing to do with you? I think heâs one of you. Stop talking nonsense with them and search directly. There are so many things. I donât believe that they can hide it anywhere.â
Seeing that the Shao familyâs disciples were about to charge in, Bai He, Chen Yan, and the others were instantly furious. They felt that they had been greatly insulted. Anyone who was suspected of being a thief would feel uncomfortable. Just as they were about to stop them, they were stopped by Lin Bai.
âLet them search. If they donât search, they will definitely not let this matter rest today.â
Although Chen Yan, Bai He, and the others were angry, they had to admit that what Lin Bai said made sense. Chen Yan spat beside him. âI donât believe that they will be able to find anything!â
The Shao familyâs disciples were ransacking the place. They wished that they could even dig three feet into the courtyard. They had almost turned the entire place upside down, but unfortunately, they did not find anything.
Chen Yan smiled coldly. âI told you, we are not thieves. There is nothing here that you want.â
The Shao familyâs disciples looked at them suspiciously as if they had thought of something. âThat thing must have been hidden in your personal space. I want to check your personal space or storage bags.â
One had to know that personal space was an extremely private thing. Usually, it stored more important things and cold not easily show them to others. The Shao familyâs disciples requested to check their personal space. This was no different from a body search. It was a great humiliation to people.
When Chen Yan and the others heard this, their expressions changed instantly. They could not contain their anger and said, âYou guys have gone too far! You wanted to search the place and weâve let you search it. Now that you havenât found anything, youâre pushing your luck.â
The Shao familyâs disciple smiled coldly. âWhatâs wrong with searching the personal space? You might have hidden the things there. If you donât let us search the space, it means that you have a guilty conscience and donât dare to show it to us.â
A basin of dirty water was poured down. How could Chen Yan, Bai He and the others tolerate this. They immediately retorted, âI think that your Shao familyâs disciples are too overbearing. You came to search without any evidence. Since you couldnât find it, now you want to search our storage bags. Who knows what youâre going to search after that.â
When the Shao familyâs disciple saw that they were not willing to back down, his expression suddenly became gloomy. âIt seems that youâre not willing to let us search. Then you are guilty! Donât blame us for using special methods.â
âI see that youâre slandering us. Youâre deliberately making things difficult for us.â
Seeing that both sides were in a stalemate, the smell of gunpowder in the air became even stronger. In the end, Lin Bai stood up. âWhat if you search the storage bags and thereâs still nothing?â
The Shao familyâs disciple was certain that the thieves were on this group of people. The things stolen from the Treasury must have been put into their storage abgs. He said confidently,
âIf we donât find anything, we will apologize to you. Moreover, this matter will end here. We will not disturb you anymore.â
Lin Bai looked at him indifferently. âAlright, then itâs a deal!â
Initially, the other disciples were somewhat unwilling. However, since Lin Bai had already spoken, they naturally could not disregard his face. Moreover, the Shao familyâs people came in a threatening manner. They would definitely not give up until they had achieved their goal. Since they had already reached this stage, they would definitely not be willing to bear the crime of stealing.
However, as the Shao familyâs people checked the storage bags one by one, they did not discover anything at all. They didnât even find a shadow much less any heavenly and earthly treasures. Their expressions became increasingly unsightly.
Chen Yan snorted coldly and said, âNow that everyone has finished checking, there arenât any of the things that you have mentioned. Hurry up and apologize!â
The Shao family members âfaces were ashen. They looked around them and said, âHold on! Thereâs still one person who hasnât been checked.â Finally, their gazes landed on Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was calm and unperturbed. He allowed them to check, but in the end, they still did not find anything.
âNow youâre satisfied, right? What else is there to say!â
The crowd of disciples became agitated as if they had found their confidence. âAfter tormenting us for so long, you still want to pin a groundless crime on us. Hurry up and apologize!â
âThatâs right. You agreed to apologize.â
On the other hand, the Shao family disciples who had come aggressively earlier seemed to be unable to stand on their feet. In the end, they did not say anything apologetic and left dejectedly.
Looking at their backs as they left, Lin Bai smiled mysteriously. How could these people know that Little Treasure actually had its own pocket dimension? It was separated from his storage bag.
Now that he had put Little Treasure into his petâs space, the Shao family would never think of such a thing.
