Chapter 1552: Chapter 1551: She Isn’t Interested in Him, Is She?

Chapter 1551: Could She Be Interested in Him?

As Mengyu pondered, she considered that her potential mother-in-law’s stepmother was highly likely the murderer.

Of course, it’s also possible someone planted the Spiritual Jade Pendant on her to frame her. Because, she couldn’t think of any reason why she would want to kill Hai Xue.

The three Ou brothers had already arrived at the scene, examining the two drivers. Ou Zhengren quickly concluded: they died of poisoning.

The death of the drivers caused the clues in the case targeting Mengyu and others to break just like that.

Since there was no progress for the moment, Mengyu withdrew her Divine Sense and focused entirely on acting as a protector for Ou Pengfei. However, she planned to find a way to expose the issue of the Spiritual Jade Pendant found in the old lady’s room.

Ou Pengfei finally stopped cultivating. He felt light as a swallow, and full of strength.

He could hardly resist shouting out to vent the joy in his heart.

Mengyu’s voice echoed softly: "Useless."

Only then did he realize, his Master had been watching over him all this time! He hurriedly stood up and gratefully called, "Master!"

Mengyu covered her nose: "Alright, go take a bath now, you stink."

It was only then that Ou Pengfei noticed his entire body was covered in a black, oily, smelly mud.

"Oh my God, where did all this stuff come from?"

Mengyu couldn’t help but laugh: "From your own body, the Washing Marrow and Cutting Veins, you thought it was just a literal washing, huh?"

Before Mengyu could finish, Ou Pengfei had already rushed out, even he couldn’t stand it anymore, let alone his Master staying with him all this time.

After bathing, Ou Pengfei emerged feeling unprecedentedly refreshed.

"Master, can I start cultivating now?"

Mengyu sighed: "Don’t rush into cultivation just yet. After dawn, you should first report yesterday’s incident to your father. I should also be going."

Ou Pengfei quickly took out the cardboard box: "Master, are you satisfied with these antiques?"

Mengyu, who knew he had schemed against Third Aunt Qu, smiled when she saw he had taken twenty antiques: "Hmm, not bad."

Then, she reached out to Ou Pengfei: "Where’s the Jianbao Pearl?" It wasn’t actually a Jianbao Pearl, but Xiao Tao hiding in a soul bead.

Reluctantly, Ou Pengfei took out the soul bead and gave it to Mengyu. Xiao Tao’s voice immediately rang out: "Master, we’ve struck gold again. Among the items Third Uncle Ou collected, several are from ancient times, and the highest is worth millions in spiritual value."

"Really?" Mengyu was also pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, it’s true. These twenty antiques are worth a total of 10,611,000 Essence Value. But, there are many more valuable antiques in his uncle’s room! Master, let’s find a way to collect them all."

"Oh, you’re quite the thinker, grant me a one cubic meter Hundred Treasure Bag for Ou Pengfei with ten thousand Essence Value."

Xiao Tao seemed a bit dissatisfied hearing the Hundred Treasure Bag was for Ou Pengfei: "Master, you’re so stingy. I brought you over ten million Essence Value, and you only exchange a one cubic meter Hundred Treasure Bag for me."

"Enough with the nonsense, all my registered disciples are treated equally, everyone gets a one cubic meter bag, no reason for him to get more."

Mengyu didn’t care. She glanced at Xiao Tao, this guy, had he actually developed feelings for Ou Pengfei after being with him for half a day?

"But he’s different, he has a Spirit Root, and not just any, but a rare Dual Spirit Roots. What if someone else finds out and takes him away?" Xiao Tao argued rationally.

Mengyu thought about it, remembering he’s a Cultivator, and for Cultivators, she provided a ten square meter one.

"Alright, then make it a storage bag with several tens of square meters."

Upon hearing the Master mention tens of square meters, Xiao Tao decided to exchange a nineteen square meter one for Ou Pengfei.

Mengyu wanted to roll her eyes, this Xiao Tao, could he be falling for Ou Pengfei? There’s a difference between humans and demons, dear, it’s not going to work!
