He smiled.

"I've checked. Only Deacon Mei has been to the warehouse these days. She even checked the Golden Star radish and the purple root orchid." Xia Yimin replied. This wasn't adding insult to injury, but the truth.

"It's not my fault. " Deacon Mei's O shaped mouth finally closed and she quickly explained,"I just wanted to check on the preservation of the spiritual herbs so that I wouldn't mess up the important matter. Think about it, if I really wanted to steal the spiritual herbs, I could have done it secretly. Why would I leave any traces?"

Deacon Mei was cursing in his heart. If Ling Chuxi had really made a mistake while refining the pills, she might not have suspected him. Even if she was suspected later on, the spiritual herbs had already become useless pills. There was nothing for him to be afraid of. Now, all the spiritual herbs had been stolen, and he was still suspected.
