[ Successfully triggered 100 times return! ]
[ Host has obtained three thousand days of cultivation! ]
Pure spiritual energy poured into Little Red’s body. It was like a dead tree returning to life, and tender green sprouts grew out. The feathers that had been corroded by the black fog fell off one by one under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and new feathers grew back.
Although the newly grown feathers were not as big as the previous ones, their colors were purer. They were either golden or red, without any impurities. They looked very eye-catching. However, it made the feathers from before seem a little gray and inconspicuous.
Little Red’s spirit was also improving visibly. At the very least, it was not in any life-threatening danger now. However, it was a pity that some of the black fog looked extremely stubborn and had a powerful lethality.
Only half of the corrosive wounds and feathers on Little Red’s body had been removed. The remaining parts hadn’t been completely removed. However, it was probably just a matter of time.
This time, Lin Bai had also recovered quite a bit of spirit energy from the return system.. He didn’t look as miserable as before, but he announced to the public that he still needed to recuperate from a serious condition, so no one came to disturb him.
Even if there were people, they were all blocked by Bai He and the others.
As Little Treasure could not stay still, he was released from the pet space and disappeared without a trace. Lin Bai also let him go. After all, with Little Treasure’s ability to hide and his special ability to detect danger, no one in the Shao family should be able to discover his existence.
He could escape even in the face of danger. Therefore, Lin Bai was not worried. He only focused on Little Red and treated it well.
In this battle, although Little Green and Little Black were also injured, they were not as heavily injured as Little Red. After recuperating, it could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.
On the other hand, Lin Bai recovered even faster. After healing Little Red’s injuries, he had mostly recovered too. However, he announced to the public that he was still recuperating. Otherwise, if others knew that he had recovered in such a short time, they would definitely be suspicious of there being heavenly treasures on him.
…
On the other side, a small figure scuttled around the Shao family’s treasury. However, it was extremely prudent. Because it had gained intelligence, it knew that taking too much would arouse suspicion. Therefore, it only took a few valuable items.
Then, it used the night to sneak into the other disciples’ rooms. It could be said that it was like a goose passing through water, not leaving a trace.
The next day.
“How come my hundred-year-old ginseng fruit is missing? Did you steal it?”
“My Moonlight Spirit Marrow, I collected that bottle with great difficulty. It’s a healing holy medicine! Which damned person did this? I must find you.”
“It’s over. How come the nine revolutions white jade fruit that I just bought from the auction is missing? !”
For a time, many members of the Shao family had lost their belongings. Most of the items that they had lost were precious items that could heal their injuries and nourish their bodies. This had almost caused a ruckus, so much so that Shao Feng had even received this matter.
Shao Feng frowned when he heard the Elders’ reports. “Who are you? Why are you stealing from our disciple’s rooms?”
The third elder nodded with an unsightly expression. “Family head, please investigate this matter thoroughly. This little thief is really audacious. Even I…”
He was too embarrassed to continue what he had to say. After all, he was the third elder, yet he had also been robbed. If word got out, he would lose a lot of face.
Even if the third elder did not mention it, Shao Feng had already guessed it. It was because not just the disciples and elders were visited. When he thought about the situation in the Shao family’s treasury this morning, even though there were only a few items missing, he still discovered them.
The little thief was obviously very cautious. He definitely did not want to be discovered by him, so he only chose to take a few items. However, he did not know that every item in the treasury was extremely precious. Moreover, it was recorded in the register, so it was obvious at a glance.
“He’s really audacious! I don’t know where the thief came from, but he actually dared to lay his hands on us.”
The third elder seemed to have thought of something, and a dark light flashed across his eyes. “Family head, this has never happened to our Shao family before. Ever since that group of students came –”
Shao Feng understood what he meant. “Are you suspecting them?” He shook his head and rejected the third elder’s guess.
“They were able to hide from the Shao family’s guards and steal so many things without anyone noticing. Even you were affected. It shows that the little thief’s spiritual power is very strong, and his martial arts is extraordinary. That group of students does not have such means. It’s impossible that they did it.”
What he said was not without reason, but the third elder did not give up.
“Even though that sounds right, what if they have special means and magic treasures? I think that the little thief’s actions were so fast and did not attract anyone’s attention. He must be extremely familiar with the Shao family’s terrain. It must be someone from our inner circle.”
“But our Shao family’s disciples would never do something like this. Then the only possibility is this group of students. After all, they came from the countryside. They are shallow-minded and have never seen anything good. They might have already started scheming, which led to today’s situation.”
It had to be said that the third elder’s words had some truth. Shao Feng seemed to believe him, so the third elder struck while the iron was hot.
“Moreover, many of the things that this thief stole were related to healing. You have to know that they have an injured person in their courtyard right now, and they desperately need these things.”
Shao Feng pondered for a moment and said, “In that case, we’ll suppress this matter first and set up a trap for the time being to lure that thief into the trap. When we invite him into the trap, we’ll know who his real identity is.”
Neither Shao Feng nor the third elder knew that the thief they were talking about was a treasure-seeking rat. Lin Bai also did not know that Little Treasure had gotten into trouble. He was still recuperating in the room.
