Chapter 989: Futile Search

In the afternoon, as Su Chen expected, the people from the City Lord's Mansion came to the residence of the newcomers and thoroughly investigated the theft in the medicine garden last night.

Among them, the old man in brown was also there, obviously wanting to identify the thief on the spot.

However, the old man in brown was destined to waste his efforts, because it was dark in the middle of the night, and he didn't see what Su Chen and Yin Cheng looked like. Secondly, because Yin Cheng used his cloak to forcibly turn into a thin man last night, the difference in size between him and Yin Cheng at the moment was too big, so the old man in brown didn't recognize that the fat man Yin Cheng was one of the thieves last night.

The old man in brown looked around but didn't recognize him, and his face couldn't help but become darker than the bottom of a pot.

"Search the space ring!"

The old man in brown said coldly.

If it was the thief who entered the medicine garden last night, the medicinal materials must still be in the space ring at this moment, because from last night to today, none of these newcomers left the City Lord's Mansion, so the medicinal materials could only be kept on their bodies.

From this perspective, the idea of ​​the old man in brown is completely correct.

However, what he didn't know was that Su Chen's medicinal materials were all in the mustard seed space, which could not be searched.

When the newcomers heard that they were going to search the space ring, they immediately exploded: "Search the space ring? What a joke?"

"How can we show a private thing like a space ring to outsiders?"

"What does the theft of the medicine garden have to do with us? It's not us who did it."

"We didn't come to the City Lord's Mansion to show others the space ring."

These newcomers immediately had a fierce backlash. Originally, in the martial arts world, things like space rings are taboo to show others, because there may be some very private things in them.

What's more, these newcomers are all some unruly and independent warriors, and they will not let others search their space rings.

A senior official of the City Lord's Mansion had to step forward to appease: "We won't search your space rings, just check if there are any medicinal materials lost in the medicine garden, and we won't look at other things."

However, this pale promise obviously cannot convince everyone.

"You said you won't look at it, so you won't look at it?"

"In short, my space ring will never be handed over to others."

"It's ridiculous to say that we stole the medicinal materials from the medicine garden. I will never let others look at my space ring."

These newcomers also refused to give in.

"No, absolutely not!"

This voice that seemed to be somewhat familiar sounded. Su Chen turned his head and saw that it was indeed Yin Cheng who pinched his throat and also made a fuss inside.

"Shut up!"

The old man in brown clothes shouted with a gloomy face, "If you don't want to hand over the space ring, then leave the City Lord's Mansion and no longer be a member of the City Lord's Mansion from now on."

This threat shocked everyone.

After all, everyone present was able to enter the City Lord's Mansion after passing layers of assessments, which was extremely difficult.

No one wanted to be driven out of the City Lord's Mansion for no reason.

In the end, the newcomers had to compromise reluctantly. Both sides took a step back and reached an agreement that the top leaders of the City Lord's Mansion could check the space ring, but they could only check things related to medicinal materials, and other things could not be checked.

The person in charge of the inspection also made a vow in front of everyone that he would not check anything other than medicinal materials and would not involve the privacy of the newcomers.

Then, he began to check one by one.

Su Chen stood in the crowd and suddenly felt someone poking his waist. Then he saw Yin Cheng squeezed beside him at some point, crying and lowering his voice: "Brother Su Chen, what should we do? If they really want to search the space ring, my medicinal materials are all in the space ring..."

Su Chen pressed his hand to silence him, and then said: "I have a way to prevent them from searching, but you have to give me your space ring."

"Give you the space ring? Okay..."

Yin Cheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took off the space ring and handed it to Su Chen.

Then, Su Chen saw that this guy somehow had another space ring in his hand and put it on his finger.

Su Chen shook his head. It turned out that this guy had a spare space ring, and there should be nothing important in it.

Su Chen casually threw Yin Cheng's space ring into the mustard space. His own important treasures were also in the mustard seed space. The space ring contained some ordinary cultivation resources, and there was nothing that could not be exposed.

Soon after, they checked Su Chen.

Su Chen handed over his space ring openly and let the high-level official of the City Lord's Mansion search it.

The high-level official of the City Lord's Mansion took the space ring, just poured soul power into it and took a glance, and knew that Su Chen's space ring did not have what he was looking for.

At that moment, he returned the space ring to Su Chen without caring: "Next!"

Yin Cheng hurriedly followed suit and handed over his spare space ring.
