I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 317 - 281: The Buttocks Are Crooked
Not to mention other disciples found it difficult to get close to Mei Xiangu, even the teaching elder didn’t want to provoke her.
In the end, it was said on the surface that Mei Xiangu was Tian Lin’s servant.
But who could purely regard Mei Xiangu as Tian Lin’s sword holder? Weren’t they afraid of the Nascent Soul grandfather behind her?
"At this point, it is not completely over yet. I will first report what happened on this trip to Elder Xue. You all should return to your places—"
Upon reaching Gourd Peak, the teaching elder dropped off Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu before leaving again.
It was Mei Xiangu’s first time visiting the sect, and she couldn’t help but gaze at the full mountain academies with a scrutinizing look, a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
Tian Lin didn’t ask what she was thinking about to avoid giving her a chance to ridicule the sect.
The two of them arrived at Tian Lin’s cave mansion, walking one behind the other, without anyone making a sound.
Since Tian Lin became a Class B disciple, the cave mansion had already changed, and he no longer lived next to Zhou Mengjiao.
He was surrounded by other Class B disciples’ cave mansions, but during this time of day, no one else was around, making it remarkably quiet.
As soon as Tian Lin returned, Yu’er and Cui’er quickly got up.
They roughly knew when Tian Lin would return, so they weren’t surprised to see him. But they were somewhat astonished seeing Mei Xiangu behind him.
Both of them knew Mei Xiangu was a disciple of Shuiyun Sect and understood her character, so they were a bit nervous.
Yu’er hurriedly saluted first: "This servant pays respects to Miss Mei."
Mei Xiangu merely glanced at the two women before boldly walking to the stone table in the cave.
She lifted the teapot on the stone table, looked at it, then scanned the surroundings, laughing coldly: "Can people really live in a place like this?"
Tian Lin knew Mei Xiangu was picking faults, but he wasn’t afraid of her having a bad attitude toward him, so he didn’t speak.
Mei Xiangu then presumptuously looked at Yu’er and Cui’er, asking them: "Where are your residences?"
Yu’er couldn’t discern Mei Xiangu’s intentions, so she looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin said to the two of them: "She will be staying here from now on. You can take her around to familiarize her with the surroundings."
Upon hearing this, Yu’er immediately said to Mei Xiangu: "Miss, please follow me."
The two of them led Mei Xiangu towards a stone room, quickly showing her all four stone rooms in the cave.
Besides the alchemy room and study, three of the four stone rooms had Spirit Gathering Arrays.
The Spirit Gathering Array could gather spiritual energy, somewhat beneficial for cultivation.
The room Tian Lin occupied had the largest Spirit Gathering Array, followed by the room shared by Yu’er and Cui’er.
The remaining room was a guest room. Except for the smaller Spirit Gathering Array, it was uninhabited, so although clean, it lacked vitality.
Mei Xiangu glanced at the middle stone room and bluntly told Yu’er and Cui’er: "You two move to the guest room, and I will live in this one."
Cui’er was about to speak when Yu’er tugged at her sleeve.
But before Yu’er could compromise, Tian Lin, drinking tea at the stone table, said:
"Miss Mei, you becoming my sword holder wasn’t a result of my asking. I know you don’t want to be my sword holder, and in truth, I don’t want to have you as one either. If you really don’t want to stay here, you can leave. Why make things difficult for my servants?"
Mei Xiangu said: "This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for, I’ll leave now."
After speaking, she left the cave mansion. It was only then that Yu’er asked Tian Lin in surprise: "Master, how could Miss Mei, a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, become your sword holder?"
Tian Lin replied: "It was a bet between her and me at the Immortal Sinking Pond. She lost and had no choice. In the future, don’t ask about this in front of her, or I might not be able to protect you."
Yu’er still found it hard to believe, because Mei Xiangu was a disciple of Goddess Sect. Even if she kept her promise, she had to consider the reputation of Goddess Sect, right?
If a disciple of Goddess Sect became the sword holder of an Outer Disciple of this sect, this news would not only disgrace Goddess Sect, but others would also think Tian Lin is arrogant and disrespectful.
However, Tian Lin didn’t want to say more, and Yu’er didn’t dare ask more questions.
But Cui’er was gloating: "I thought she was someone important, looking down on us, but she turns out to be our master’s servant after all."
No one spoke for a moment in the cave, and Tian Lin was also quite troubled by Mei Xiangu.
He wasn’t afraid of Mei Xiangu actually leaving, as that would save a lot of trouble.
He just felt that Mei Xiangu was unlikely to just leave. If she really was going to leave, she wouldn’t have come back to the sect with him.
Sure enough, someone spoke outside the cave mansion soon after, and when Yu’er went out, she brought in a woman at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Tian Lin recognized this person as the servant of Senior Brother Qiao from the academy. The servant said: "Young Master Tian, the girl who just left your cave is causing trouble outside."
Tian Lin didn’t respond, so Yu’er asked her: "Good sister, that is my master’s sword holder whom he brought back. What is she doing to cause trouble?"
The servant replied: "She appears to have provoked Tang Gongzi from Class A—however, this new young lady is quite formidable, having injured both of Tang Gongzi’s sword holders right under his nose."
Cui’er angrily said: "This Miss Mei, where does she have the demeanor of a servant? Just returning and already causing trouble for our master."
What she said was true, but Tian Lin knew that besides defending herself, her words were also aimed at preserving her own status.
After all, with Tian Lin bringing back someone new, the two sisters would no longer have Tian Lin’s ’exclusive favor.’
"I better go take a look!"
Tian Lin knew that bringing Mei Xiangu would eventually lead to such a situation, especially since Mei Xiangu had killed Senior Brother Tang. Not coming to the sect was fine, as Tang family descendants wouldn’t go into Goddess Sect to seek trouble with her.
But by coming to this sect, wasn’t it akin to killing someone’s kin and then holding a banquet flauntingly right in front of them?
How could the Tang family stand for it?
The Yu’er sisters hurriedly followed Tian Lin out of the cave mansion. When they reached mid-mountain, they saw a young man under Mei Xiangu’s sword, his chest covered in blood, looking both furious and frightened.
Seeing that Mei Xiangu was about to make another move, Tian Lin shouted: "Stop!"
Mei Xiangu actually stopped!
She wasn’t a fool and wouldn’t possibly start a killing spree in the sect.
If she really intended to go on a killing spree, she wouldn’t be using her sword.
"Senior Brother Tang, what exactly happened here?"
Tian Lin walked forward and cupped his hands toward the young man on the ground.
The young man evidently knew of Tian Lin’s background as he pointed at him and said: "Tian, I already know she’s your sword holder. I ask you, how should you account for your servant injuring me now?"
This was something Tian Lin had been thinking about all the way, but no matter how he pondered, he didn’t think he could satisfy the Tang family.
Was he supposed to kill Mei Xiangu to avenge the Tang family?
Since that was impossible, no matter how he tried to appease them, the Tang family could never be satisfied.
Tian Lin simply regarded Mei Xiangu and said: "Even if Senior Brother Tang has done something wrong, as long as he apologizes, that’s enough. Why injure someone?"
The moment these words left his mouth, everyone present realized that Tian Lin’s position was biased.
