Su Bei pretended to be moved, then coughed a few, “Thank you so much. I feel much better now.”
Head Song still didn’t let Su Bei go, he asked, “When did you lose the jade pendant?”
To be the safe side, Su Bei answered ambiguously, “I also don’t know. When I realized, it was already gone.”
Head Song asked again, “When did you find it lost?”
Su Bei calmly said, “Last night.”
Head Song then said enigmatically, “You really don’t care about your belongings.”
Su Bei smiled and said, “You know, jade pendent is not a big thing. It is only normal not to notice it.”
All of a sudden, Head Song threw a palm at Su Bei.
Su Bei knew nothing about martial arts, so he could only stand there.
Meng Jingkong was the first who reacted. He quickly pulled Su Bei behind and encountered that palm with his.
Meng Jingkong angrily looked at Head Song, “What are you doing?”

Head Song also wouldn’t give in, “Nothing, I just suspect that Su Bei is the murderer that killed my people. But you always try to defend him.”
Su Bei nearly got scared to death. He thought he would definitely take that palm.
He took a deep breath, calmly saying, “As you saw, I even didn’t fight back. How could have killed so many of your disciples?”
Head Song gave a cold snort, “Who knows whether you were pretending to be seriously injured?”
“I can understand that you are desperate to take revenge for your people. But isn’t it a little inappropriate to jump to the conclusion?” Meng Jingkong said in a cold voice.
Head Song then made an unreasonable request, “Then you help me find the murderers, and clear Su Bei’s name.”
Meng Jingkong said affirmatively, “Of course I will look into it and see who is trying to frame up Su Bei and sow discord between us.”
Head Song still didn’t take off the gloves, “if you still can’t give me an answer, don’t blame my rudeness!”
And he then turned to leave.
Meng Jingkong slumped into the chair, with a ghastly countenance.
He suddenly looked to Su Bei, “When did you lose the jade?”

Su Bei replied, “Last night.”
Meng Jingkong then asked, “Where did you lose it?”
Su Bei was silent for a while. Ye Li robbed it from him. How would he ever know where he lost it?
Meng Jingkong sensed something, “Are you hiding something from me?”
Su Bei replied, “No.”
Meng Jingkong looked a bit disappointed, “Fine. Even if you don’t want to tell, I can guess it should be someone from the evil cult!”
“That I believe it was not you doesn’t mean others also believe it. So…you’d better think about it carefully.”
Speaking of which, he left.
Su Bei felt that Ye Li would not give up before all decent sects would hunt him down.
Sure enough, the next day, some other people came.
It was another sect, also most disciples killed or injured, internal force sucked dry.

This time nothing belonging to Su Bei was lost there, but someone saw Su Bei with his eyes.
Meng Jingkong was shaking due to great anger. Those people really have crossed the line, but he could do nothing.
They directly brought the disciple who saw Su Bei, insisting that they wouldn’t leave only if Meng Jingkong handed Su Bei out. They’d use force if necessary.
Looking at the aggressive head, Meng Jingkong tried to persuade him to believe this is the evil cult’ scheme, “Su Bei would never do such a thing. Don’t you know what kind of person Su Bei is, Head Ge?”
