I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 300 - 264 Conflict
"There are many places to visit in Cangzhou, but most of them are too dangerous. After all, this is not our North Wilderness, and it is best not to wander around without an elder accompanying us."
"Even without an elder, we are not afraid. When the time comes, we can ask Tian to accompany us, he must be more familiar with Cangzhou than we are."
As everyone was talking and laughing, the dishes were all served.
Tian Lin only hastily ate a bit, ending up eating the dry food he brought himself.
Fortunately, everyone had vaguely heard of Tian Lin's quirks, so they let him eat his own food.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Before anyone at the table could get up, Mei Immortal asked Tian Lin and the others: "Where is Brother Zhuang?"
Everyone at the table looked at each other in confusion; Tian Lin stood up and said, "I must let Senior Mei know that Brother Zhuang has not returned to the sect."
Mei Immortal gave a cold snort and said, "He hasn't returned to the sect, so where did the Cold Fragrance Leaf in your hand come from?"
Tian Lin was stunned; he had only opened his Storage Bag to get the dry food.
Besides that, the Storage Bag had not been opened.
But just from opening the Storage Bag once, Mei Immortal could smell the Cold Fragrance Leaf inside it?
This could only mean that, due to the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Goddess Sect, they were overly sensitive to the presence of the Divine Lady Tree and its Cold Fragrance Leaf.
"This Cold Fragrance Leaf was purchased by me within our sect, and it was not given to me by Brother Zhuang. Senior Mei, please do not misunderstand."
Mei Immortal said: "Even if it wasn't Brother Zhuang who gave it to you, the Cold Fragrance Leaf you possess still belongs to our Goddess Sect. Shouldn't your Wendaos Sect be returning the Divine Lady Tree to our Goddess Sect?"
Upon hearing her words, Senior Brother Changxue slammed the table and stood up, positioning himself in front of Tian Lin, facing Mei Immortal:
"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that my Wendaos Sect stole something from your Goddess Sect?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"If it was taken by force that would be better; it would mean my sister was outperformed, and 'Mei' would just have to accept her bad luck.
But what skill is there in stealing and deceiving?"
Concerning the honor and face of the Wendaos Sect, how could Senior Brother Changxue concede?
He let out a cold laugh and turned to Tian, saying:
"Tian, isn't this ridiculous? From what she implies, it's as if Brother Zhuang is fond of their Goddess Sect's Divine Lady Tree.
But the Dao practiced in our Wendaos Sect doesn't require that tree at all. Rather than saying Brother Zhuang stole their tree, it's more like they want to use the Divine Lady Tree to coerce Brother Zhuang into becoming their Goddess Sect's unwanted son-in-law."
After hearing Senior Brother Changxue's words, Tian Lin felt his scalp tingle and muttered to himself that this was not good.
Sure enough, Mei Immortal's expression turned icy as she took a string of plum blossoms from between her eyebrows, scattering them towards the people like darts.
Fortunately, except for Tian Lin, most present were of Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.
However, there are differences between Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and with Mei Immortal's scattering, not only was the entire private room shattered, but Senior Brother Changxue and the others, including Tian Lin, were blasted out of the room.
Tian Lin, with the lowest cultivation level, couldn't afford to worry about others at this moment.
He could only retreat in mid-air, aiming for the roof of the building opposite the tavern, standing on the roof to release the force on his body.
With several 'bang bang bang' sounds, he broke through a few tiles before finally managing to stabilize himself.
Upon observing Senior Brother Changxue and the others, they were directly facing the assault from Mei Immortal and their situation was barely any better.
It was at this moment that Mei Immortal burst out from the dilapidated private room. With a bare hand holding a plum blossom, she gracefully ascended onto the rooftop, looking left and right at the Wendaos Sect disciples who were on guard.
With a mocking tone, she said, "Are these the junior brothers of Zhai Xingzi? They haven't learned even a tenth of his skill, yet they've mastered all his devious tricks."
Senior Brother Changxue and the others were enraged and drew their swords, ready to strike, but they were urgently stopped by Tian Lin.
Tian Lin gave Mei Immortal a cupped-fist salute and said, "Congratulations, sister, your cultivation has greatly advanced. Seems you are about to become an Inner Sect Disciple, right?"
Before Mei Immortal could speak, Tian Lin continued, "Sister mentioned that my Brother Zhuang deceived you of the Divine Lady Tree. I wonder if this statement comes from the elders of the Goddess Sect, or your own opinion?"
Mei Immortal asked, "What are you insinuating?"
By this time the street was crowded with onlookers, some of whom were dandies, while others were immortal disciples.
Tian Lin knew that if he did not handle the situation properly, it would likely tarnish the reputation of Wendaos Sect and bring disgrace to the sect.
He said, "As far as I know, my senior brother has already visited the Goddess Sect over the matter of the Divine Lady Tree. When my senior brother was at the Goddess Sect, if Sister Mei had any kind of dispute or grievance, why not confront him directly? Yet now you come to us juniors demanding a person?"
Without waiting for Mei Immortal to respond, Tian Lin loudly said, "Since Sister Mei is demanding someone from us, it indicates that my senior brother has left the Goddess Sect safely; that is to say, my senior brother must have already explained himself to your sect's elders, and they have agreed to let him leave.
Otherwise, how could my senior brother have left the Goddess Sect unscathed?"
At this moment, Ju Yunhai stood by Tian Lin's side and added, "Exactly, since your sect's elders have not troubled my Brother Zhuang, why is a disciple of Goddess Sect like you being so aggressive? Do you also defy the decisions of your Sect Elders?"
Had it been anyone else, they naturally wouldn't dare to show disrespect, but Mei Immortal had no such concerns.
She said, "That's right, the elders of my Goddess Sect favor Zhai Xingzi and want to form a good relationship with him, but I refuse to give him face and do not wish for his goodwill."
After finishing speaking, she was ready to strike, already slapping the branch in her hand at several people.
Tian Lin and the others mentally cried out in alarm!
Mei Immortal was far too strong for them; they couldn't beat her in single combat, and even a combined effort might not be enough to defeat her.
Whether it was one-on-one or a group fight, none of them were her match.
To the onlookers, it seemed that Wendaos Sect was being outclassed by the Goddess Sect.
Fortunately, before Mei Immortal's branch could fly towards Tian Lin and the others, a young man appeared on the rooftop.
The young man caught Mei Immortal's branch with his hand, taking the branch away from her, then executed a polite salute to Mei Immortal, saying with a smile:
"Sister Mei and these junior brothers and sisters are all guests of our Shuiyun Sect. And since everyone is an immortal disciple, isn't there anything we can't sit down and discuss?"
Tian Lin and the others didn't recognize this young man, but he had quite a reputation in Tianbei County.
Some people had already pointed out the young man's identity, and it was from the discussions amongst the crowd that Tian Lin and the others learned that this was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, known as 'Brother Lu.'
"Lu Hanbai? This is a private matter between my Goddess Sect and Wendaos Sect. Does your Shuiyun Sect really need to get involved?"
Mei Immortal was somewhat wary of the young man, frowning and barely containing her anger as she questioned him.
Smiling at her words, the young man returned the branch to Mei Immortal: "Sister Mei, you cannot represent the Goddess Sect, and these juniors cannot represent Wendaos Sect and make enemies with you.
As for me—I am currently assisting the county government to maintain order in Tianbei County, so stopping sister from clashing with others is my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with my Shuiyun Sect."
It was then that a voice rang out: "Sister Mei, if you wish to exchange martial skills with my Wendaos Sect, you should seek out those of us who are also born from the Inner Sect Disciples.
Otherwise, bullying our sect's Outer Disciples, even if you win, would that be honorable?"
