I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 218 - 182: Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gao He Again

"I heard you're looking for a person named Tian Shuang; was he your master? If I remember correctly, he killed the son of the Ninth Aunt of the Tong Family and was killed by people hired by the Ninth Aunt, right?"

Yu'er looked somewhat downcast and said, "My sister and I went to the Tong family's estate in Tianbei County, and we had already convinced Mr. Tong to intervene and capture the Ninth Aunt to bring her back.

But the Ninth Aunt was too quick, and not even a day after she issued a bounty, our lord had vanished above the sea."

Tian Lin nodded at her words, and while rowing, he said, "Seventy top-grade Spirit Stones are enough to tempt even me."

Having finished speaking, the smile on Yu'er's face turned awkward as she said, "Since Senior is an immortal disciple, how could seventy top-grade Spirit Stones be of any temptation to you?"

Her words carried a probing intent, as she wanted to clarify Tian Lin's identity and origin.

Tian Lin dared not pretend to be an immortal disciple, and even now with Elder Yu's waist token, he did not dare to claim himself as a disciple of Wendaos Sect.

Not being officially registered, he could only take on the guise of Huahua Lang; how could he possibly flaunt the signboard of an immortal disciple?

"I'm not some immortal disciple, how could seventy top-grade Spirit Stones not tempt me?"

Tian Lin followed up by asking Yu'er, "Now that your lord is dead, how will you two manage on your own?"

Yu'er had been injured and it wasn't really appropriate for her to be distracted by conversation at this time.

But she still endured the pain and dared not fail to answer Tian Lin's question, "We, the servant girls, will first return to the city to erect a ceremonial tomb for our lord. As for what to do afterwards? That's somewhat unclear."

Tian Lin's eyebrows raised slightly, saying: "Tian's death frees you, doesn't it?"

Yu'er was left speechless for a moment, unsure whether to reproach Tian Lin for his disrespect towards 'Tian Shuang'.

After a long while, she finally said:

"Senior may not be aware, those of us given away by the Tong Family as sword holders, once we have served a master, cannot serve as sword holders for anyone else again.

Logically, we should die alongside our master, but..."

Tian Lin laughed, "But you are unwilling to die for an old fool, right?"

Cui'er, who was meditating, opened her eyes with a somewhat unfriendly tone:

"Senior may have saved us, but that does not entitle you to such disrespect towards our lord. Although our lord's cultivation was slightly weaker, he was a Foundation Establishment strongman.

Senior berating others behind their backs like this, aren't you afraid of others doing the same to you?"

She, an eighth-level Qi Refining person, dared to criticize a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, which could be said to be extremely foolish.

Yu'er quickly added after Cui'er finished speaking:

"Senior's willingness to help two girls who crossed paths by chance demonstrates your chivalry. I believe Senior's previous words were just a slip of the tongue and not intentionally meant to insult our lord."

Tian Lin glanced at the two sisters and then turned his gaze toward the dense fog ahead.

Soon after Tian Lin looked towards the fog, Yu'er's Soul Needle also sensed the presence of roaming souls.

As Yu'er looked up, Tian Lin had already struck out with his palm.

Divine Skills like the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill consume both True Qi and Spiritual Sense.

With his Spirit Stone's power being incomparable to the past, his palm strike instantly extinguished the two incoming roaming souls.

Tian Lin then took out his Soul-Collecting Pearl, and the white fog formed by the roaming souls was instantly absorbed into the pearl.

On the river surface, a small boat appeared amid the thick fog.

A man and a woman were on the boat, holding talismans and Soul Needles, clearly in pursuit of the roaming souls.

Tian Lin recognized at a glance that the couple on the small boat were indeed Gao He and Cai Shu, who were also visibly stunned upon seeing Tian Lin.

"Who might you be?"

Based solely on Tian Lin's attire, the couple could tell that he had the cultivation of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

But looking at Tian Lin's appearance, he did not seem like someone who could have the cultivation of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment. Even for a single spiritual root Foundation Establishment, Tian Lin's sixteen or seventeen-year-old appearance was ridiculously youthful.

They suspected that Tian Lin was a disciple of an immortal gate, or perhaps the offspring of a noble family.

"My humble name is not worth mentioning; the two Daoist friends may simply call me Brother Tian."

Gao He had a rush of thoughts, not recalling a prominent Tian family in Tianbei County. But this did not prevent him from immediately cupping his hands and saying:

"So, it is Daoist friend Tian, a pleasure indeed."

He saw Tian Lin put the Soul-Collecting Pearl back into his Storage Bag and realized that the two roaming souls they had just seen were captured by Tian Lin alone, which made him even more convinced of Tian Lin's formidable strength.

He put away his talisman paper and invited Tian Lin, saying: "Daoist friend Tian, you seem to be heading to shore? If you do not mind, why not take my boat back to Pingyang City together?"

"That would be good, then I'll trouble the two Daoist friends."

Tian Lin finished speaking and leaped onto the bow of Gao He and his wife's boat.

Gao He and his wife's boat was clearly larger than the boat Tian Lin and the Infinite Ascendants were on, and besides having talisman paper attached, it even came with a cabin; it could certainly be called 'luxurious.'

As Tian Lin switched boats on one side, on the other side, Yu'er hastily asked Tian Lin: "Senior Tian, after we get to shore, how shall we two servants contact you?"

Tian Lin turned his head to glance at the two sisters and casually said: "As long as you two show up on the shore of the Immortal Sinking Pond, I will be able to find you at any time; you don't need to go out of your way to look for me."

After Yu'er paddled the boat away, Gao He invited Tian Lin into the cabin to sit down and asked, "Daoist friend Tian is not a native of Tianbei County?"

Tian Lin replied: "This is my first visit; I have indeed never been to Tianbei County before."

Gao He and his wife exchanged glances, and Cai Shu had already poured wine, pressing her bosom against Tian Lin's shoulder.

Although Tian Lin had known this couple for some time, he had never received such enthusiastic hospitality from them.

Tian Lin's body stiffened slightly, Cai Shu's smile grew even wider, and she shoved a cup of wine into Tian Lin's hand:

"I notice that Daoist friend Tian speaks with refinement, you must be from a noble family, no?"

Tian Lin then said: "I am an orphan with both parents deceased, and I have no living relatives in this world."

Neither Cai Shu nor Gao He believed him, Gao He laughed and questioned: "Looking at how young Daoist friend Tian is, it does not seem like the effect of taking Youthful Appearance Pills. If I'm not mistaken, you must be only sixteen years old now?"

Tian Lin himself was uncertain, he said: "Perhaps when the year flips over, I might turn seventeen."

Cai Shu and Gao He exchanged glances once more, Cai Shu's hips nearly pressed against Tian Lin's lap.

As she poured wine for Tian Lin, she asked: "Brother Tian must certainly be an immortal disciple, right?"

Tian Lin still told the truth: "I do indeed know an elder of an immortal gate, and I am currently the disciple of this elder. However, since I have not yet registered at the immortal gate, I dare not take on the name of an immortal disciple."

The reason why Tian Lin no longer took Disguise Pills was that he needed his true identity to obtain the Soul-Collecting Pearls and to acquire the Heavenly Water Breathing Technique.

And he did not reveal his name because Zhou Shoufan had not seen his true face; as long as he did not disclose his name, it was very likely that Zhou Shoufan would not find him.

"May I ask which elder and which immortal gate Daoist friend Tian is speaking of?"

Gao He suspected that Tian Lin was born into a noble family, or perhaps was an immortal disciple.

However, after Tian Lin admitted that he had the background to become an immortal disciple, Gao He began to suspect Tian Lin was an impostor.

"It would be better not to mention these matters; after all, I have not yet entered the immortal gate, nor have I received an open acknowledgment from that elder. How can I brandish the banner of the immortal gate and my master without the dust having settled?"

After saying this, Tian Lin added a question to Gao He: "May I inquire if the two Daoist friends have ever met Brother Zhai Xingzi from the Wendaos Sect? I heard that he also seems to have come to the Immortal Sinking Pond."

Tian Lin said he was reluctant to reveal the name of the immortal gate but then called out Brother Zhai Xingzi.

Gao He did not know whether Tian Lin was truly naive or pretending to be so.

He could only say: "A few days ago, there was a rumor around the Immortal Sinking Pond that the Daoist brother Zhai Xingzi had come here. But he's like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail, and has never shown himself—or perhaps he already has, and we just haven't recognized him."

Tian Lin said: "I've heard that Brother Zhai Xingzi is about the same age as me, and there shouldn't be many people of my age with mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. It should be quite easy to identify him, right?"

Gao He quickly shook his head: "Brother Tian, you do not know, disciples of the Wendaos Sect have always valued 'keeping the heart on the Dao and not getting involved in mundane karma.'

Therefore, when they go out, they invariably change their appearance and hide themselves, making it impossible for others to detect their presence."

Tian Lin nodded in understanding: "This matter, my master has never mentioned to me."

He said that the elder hadn't publicly disclosed his 'disciple' status, so he did not dare to assume the identity of another's disciple, yet he repeatedly mentioned 'master.'

And he said he has not registered, so he should not reveal the name of the immortal gate, yet he called his 'Brother Zhai Xingzi,' and kept asking about the whereabouts of Zhai Xingzi.

Gao He hesitated, uncertain whether what Tian Lin said was true or false.

As the boat was about to dock, Tian Lin cupped his hands to Gao He and his wife: "I have an impertinent request and hope that the virtuous couple can help me pay attention to Zhai Xingzi's movements. One day, when I become a disciple of the immortal gate, I will certainly not forget the assistance provided by the two of you."
