I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 315 - 279: Chivalrous Mei Immortal
Facing the mockery of Mei Immortal, Tian Lin did not feel there was any reason to be angry.
Instead, he sincerely admired and said, "Brother Zhuang truly possesses exceptional abilities. Having been recognized by the old Sect Master, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm for him must be as easy as reaching into a bag."
Hearing Tian Lin praise Zhai Xingzi, Mei Immortal became even more displeased, and couldn't help but scold:
"He is nothing but a petty man who deceives people's feelings. Currently, he hasn't even reached the Golden Core Realm. How can you be so sure he will reach the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Tian Lin knew Mei Immortal had a deep prejudice against Zhai Xingzi, so he didn't argue with her.
At this moment, Ju Yunhai and others, who had been waiting in the courtyard, heard their commotion and all came running out.
Ju Yunhai grabbed Tian Lin and asked, "Junior Brother, how did it go? What benefits did you receive?"
Tian Lin took out a Dao Seed and said, "The old Sect Master favored us, and gave each of us present a Dao Seed."
The people there looked at the lotus seed in Tian Lin's hand with indescribable envy.
Someone said sourly, "With this, Junior Brother Tian, you'll have even more assurance when you try to break through to the Golden Core Realm."
Tian Lin put the lotus seed away, not wanting to show off purposely.
The reason he showed it to everyone was firstly because he couldn't hide the fact he had received a benefit, and secondly, keeping it hidden would neither dispel the envy of others, and might even lead to being accused of arrogance.
"It's nothing, the truly impressive one is still Senior Brother Zhai Xingzi."
Tian Lin decided to use Zhai Xingzi to draw animosity, and he recounted his experience in the great hall once over.
Everyone, learning that even the Old Sect Master had inquired about Zhai Xingzi and had reserved several Dao Fruits for Zhai Xingzi despite his absence, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Ju Yunhai asked Tian Lin, "How many Dao Fruits did the Sect Master give to Brother Zhuang? And what kind of Daoist Skills do those fruits correspond to?"
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "The Great Elder didn't mention this, and we didn't dare to ask."
Senior Sister Jia said, "Brother Zhuang has already made a name for himself within our sect. I hadn't realized he also had such a great reputation in the Shuiyun Sect."
Off to the side, Mei Immortal, not being on good terms with everyone present, went back to her own room as soon as she entered the courtyard.
Now, hearing what Senior Sister Jia said, she coldly laughed in her room: "Big noises from little acorns, greatness may not really be so grand."
Although people were wary of Mei Immortal, she was no longer the Inner Sect Disciple of the Goddess Sect.
Senior Sister Jia straightforwardly suggested to Tian Lin, "Junior Brother, you should also manage your sword holder. She went to the great hall too. What use is a sword holder with a Dao Seed? I think you might as well use the Dao Seed yourself."
This was clearly suggesting he seize the Dao Seed from Mei Immortal's hands.
Indeed, Dao Seeds were extremely precious; unless one had no need for Dao Seeds, who would give them to subordinates?
From inside the room, an angry voice of Mei Immortal resounded, "You dare!"
Everyone looked at Tian Lin, who was now Mei Immortal's master. They didn't believe that with the lack of a written contract, Mei Immortal would dare to act against Tian Lin.
But Tian Lin had no intention of taking the Dao Seed from Mei Immortal, nor did he consider her mere a sword holder, thus he said:
"That is her celestial fate, ultimately not my celestial fate. How could I take her celestial fate?"
With those words, although some in the courtyard thought Tian Lin was being overly moralistic, they found nothing further to say.
A laughter rang out from outside the courtyard, saying, "Tian, you are mistaken in your words. One must seek and seize one's own fortunes, how can you expect others to deliver it to your doorstep?"
Several people looked over, only to see a young man entering from outside.
Ju Yunhai's face slightly changed as he said, "It's Senior Brother Xu."
Senior Brother Changxue seemed to recall something, and said to Tian, "Tian, go make some tea for Senior Brother Xu."
Although Inner Sect Disciples were indeed esteemed, where was it said that Tian Lin should make tea?
However, Tian Lin understood that there must be a reason behind Senior Brother Changxue's arrangement.
He was about to move, but the young man already raised his hand to block Tian Lin's way: "I'm here not for tea, but to discuss some matters with Tian. Please, Tian, walk outside with me."
Everyone looked at Tian Lin. Thinking of the Dao Seed in his Storage Bag, Tian Lin guessed the young man's intentions.
He said, "I'm just an Outer Disciple and only at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment. I have just taken a long walk to the great hall today, and I'm indeed tired. If you have any matters, Brother, just speak here. Aren't we all fellow disciples here? Is there really something that must be hidden from everyone?"
Xu Shixiong's expression turned cold. He really did not want to make things ugly, but the Dao Seed was extremely precious. Acquiring a Dao Seed would save countless hours of cultivation, wouldn't it?
"Tian, I kindly invited you, are you really going to disregard my face like this?"
His tone carried a threat, making it even less possible for Tian to go with him: "What kind of kindness requires you, Brother, to pull me aside to talk alone?"
Xu Shixiong couldn't possibly reveal his intent under the watchful eyes of everyone, even though he himself knew that his intent couldn't be hidden from the crowd.
He became furiously angry and said, "Fine, since you dare disrespect your Senior Brother, I must teach you a lesson today."
Senior Brother Changxue and others quickly came forward, saying: "Brother, please stop!"
But Xu Shixiong didn't care about Senior Brother Changxue and the others, and with a single palm strike, he sent them flying out.
At the same time, Tian Lin took the opportunity to retreat a few steps, creating distance between himself and Xu Shixiong.
Then Tian Lin circulated his True Qi and shouted into the house: "Senior Mei, what are you still sitting in the house for? Do you not know that when the master is humiliated, the servant must die?"
This remark "when the master is humiliated, the servant must die" infuriated Mei Immortal.
Her face flushed with anger, she kicked down a wall and strode out, venting her anger on Xu Shixiong: "Xu, you dare to seize the Dao Seed of a fellow disciple, do you still consider yourself an Inner Sect Disciple?"
Xu Shixiong knew Mei Immortal was in the courtyard, but he never guessed that Mei Immortal was Tian's sword holder.
He glanced at Mei Immortal in surprise and said, "I am speaking to my disciple, what does it concern you? Mei Immortal, don't meddle in others' business."
Mei Immortal couldn't reveal she was Tian's sword holder, and could only say with a flushed face: "Where there is injustice on the road, someone will step in. I, Mei Immortal, despise those who bully the weak. If you want to hurt him, you'll have to fight me first!"
Xu Shixiong felt the situation was getting ridiculously comic, as he never expected Mei Immortal to act so chivalrously.
"Fine, don't you think just because you're a disciple of the Goddess Sect, I won't dare to hurt you!"
As he spoke, he was about to make a move, but fortunately, at that moment, Tan Youqi appeared and said:
"Fellow disciples, there's no need to resort to blows over a few words. Are we not being hospitable enough here at Shuiyun Sect?"
Tan Youqi was no match for Mei Immortal, and Xu Shixiong was not afraid of him.
But Tan Youqi was Shuiyun Sect's host. If trouble erupted here, how could Shuiyun Sect's people just sit by and watch?
He knew that escalating things would not benefit him, so he withdrew and snorted coldly, turning to Tian Lin: "Today's disrespect will be noted. When we return to Wendaos Sect, I don't believe anyone will protect you."
