God of Cooking, Monster: No, we have become ingredients

Even Xu Jie, who has always had no bottom line and no shame, had no idea about this matter. Ye Changqing was even more confused. He had no idea who this matter was related to.

Ye Changqing was seen with his brows furrowed, eyes slightly closed, his chin supported by his right hand, sitting there quietly, lost in deep thought.

Seeing this, Xu Jie at the side could not help but feel a little puzzled, and he asked softly.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?"

Hearing Xu Jie's question, Ye Changqing slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"Someone in the city claimed that his treasure was stolen, and according to rumors, it was the work of thieves..."

Then, Ye Changqing briefly recounted to Xu Jie the specific circumstances of the lost treasures of those owners.

After hearing what Ye Changqing said, the originally quiet hall suddenly became lively.

Xu Jie, Yun Xiantai, Hong Zun and everyone else present looked at each other in surprise.

Because during this period of time, they have been staying in the sect and have never left, let alone stealing other people's treasures.

"This is really strange. Could it be that there are really people so bold as to pretend to be our 'thieves' and steal?"

Xu Jie muttered to himself.

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere, and everyone lowered their heads to think, trying to solve the mystery.

At this moment, Xu Jie, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head, a light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly.

"I see."

His sudden shout was like a bolt of thunder, shocking everyone present.

Everyone looked at Xu Jie and asked suspiciously.

"What do you know? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

Under the anxious gaze of everyone, Xu Jie showed a smug smile on his face, appearing to be confident.

He cleared his throat and spoke in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious.

"There is no so-called lost treasure at all. This is just a farce written, directed and performed by those old guys."

Xu Jie said with disdain.

Then he dropped another shocking news.

"Not only that, all the treasures you have been searching for are now in my possession."

Ok? ? ?

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Especially the last sentence, which made everyone feel more confused and puzzled - how did these treasures come to Xu Jie?

As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Jie, with eyes full of questions and curiosity.

Among them, Hong Zun was the first to be unable to suppress his inner doubts and began to question.

"Explain to me quickly, how come these treasures are in your possession?"

Facing Hong Zun's questioning, Xu Jie seemed very calm and composed.

He just shrugged slightly and then told me everything that happened yesterday.

It turned out that when Xu Jie's senior brother Zhao Zhengping returned from training outside, he accidentally discovered a large number of treasures outside the mountains.

However, the eldest brother was an upright and honest man. He was not tempted by the unexpected wealth. He chose to turn a blind eye and left the scene directly.

Later, Xu Jie learned the news by accident.

Being a quick-witted man, he naturally would not miss such a great opportunity, so he immediately set off for that place.

Sure enough, when he arrived at his destination, he easily took all the treasures.

Thinking back carefully now, Xu Jie suddenly realized that it was obviously no coincidence that those treasures appeared there.

It is obvious that this is a trap carefully set up by someone to lure people into the trap.

Before this, Xu Jie was completely unaware of this situation, but when he heard what Ye Changqing said, the thoughts in his mind flashed through his mind as quickly as lightning, and he quickly came to his senses.

It is obvious that someone is trying to pin the charges on them in order to achieve some ulterior motive.

Xu Jie told everyone the whole story in detail, and everyone present fell into silence after listening.

Although no one spoke up to express their opinions, it could be seen from their solemn expressions that everyone actually agreed with Xu Jie's guess.

So, what exactly caused this to happen?

In fact, you can figure out the answer if you just use your brain a little.

There is no doubt that the reason why those old guys would resort to any means and even give up a large number of precious treasures is nothing more than to get special care from Ye Changqing - the so-called "special treatment" quota.

Faced with such a situation, Ye Changqing's expression looked particularly complicated.

He looked around at the silent crowd and saw that Xu Jie had quietly approached him at some point, grinning with a nasty smile and said.

"Junior brother, do you see clearly? This matter really has nothing to do with me. I am the complete victim."

However, in response to Xu Jie's words, Ye Changqing just glanced at him indifferently, then stretched out his hand and spoke in a calm tone.

"Bring it here."

Xu Jie was stunned when he saw this and asked quickly.

"Bring...bring what?"

Seeing this, a look of deep doubt instantly emerged on Xu Jie's originally calm face. His eyeballs rolled around and his gaze kept wandering around.

"Hey, don't play dumb with me, okay? Those treasures are all hidden on you."

Ye Changqing looked at Xu Jie's pretended bewildered look and couldn't help but say with some anger and amusement.

Hearing this, Xu Jie jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and retorted with his eyes wide open.

"What? Why should I give you the things I found? These are treasures I found with great effort. How can I just give them to you just because I say so?"

When Xu Jie thought about giving away those precious treasures that he had obtained with great difficulty yesterday, he felt very reluctant.

These treasures hadn't even warmed up in his hands yet, and he was unwilling to give them away for nothing.

Given Xu Jie's extremely stingy and miserly character, he naturally rejected such an unreasonable request without hesitation.

This guy has always been a miser who only takes in money but never spends it. Once something good goes into his pocket, it is harder than climbing to the sky to get him to take it out.

Xu Jie subconsciously took several steps back and kept a distance from Ye Changqing, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly rush up and forcibly snatch his treasure.

Ye Changqing was not surprised at Xu Jie's reaction. After all, he had seen scenes like this countless times and was not surprised at all.
