Chapter 103 Bell
"Why is it thanks to me?"

"Hall Master Shang said that since Senior Brother Tian recommended me to be a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, my background and character should be clean and reliable."

Zhao Si was touched:
"Since my parents passed away, no one in the world has been so kind to me. Brother Tian, ​​your action reminds me of my deceased parents. I wish I could -"

Tian Lin heard his exaggeration and interrupted him:

"I just mentioned you casually in front of the Shang Hall Master. He is willing to use you because you are outstanding, so you don't need to thank me."

In fact, Tian Lin never mentioned Zhao Si in the context of business reputation. It was not because he was unwilling to help Zhao Si, but because he did not want to implicate Zhao Si.

So Tian Lin was also very confused. Why did Shang Yu use his own name to show favor to Zhao Si?

The two of them walked up the mountain halfway, one after the other. Zhao Si stopped and asked Tian Lin:

"Brother Tian, ​​do you want to go see Hall Master Shang first, or go see Elder Xiao?"

"I am here to see Elder Xiao for official business at Baihua Peak. How can I let personal matters take the place of official business? Junior Brother Zhao, take me directly to Elder He. When I have finished my business, I will have time to visit Master Shang to reminisce about the past."

Elder He has a strange personality. He does not live on the top of the mountain, nor near the government office.

He has his own cave built in the back mountain, and usually no one goes there.

Zhao Si took Tian Lin into the woods at the back of the mountain, and soon they saw Elder He's flying crane.

Feihe stood on one leg beside a pond, staring at 'himself' in the pond and surprisingly seemed quite silent.

Tian Lin frowned, wondering what had happened to this usually noisy flying crane in Wenxin Sect that made it seem so quiet and autistic.

Zhao Si pulled Tian Lin's sleeve and led him around the pond where Feihe was.

When the two of them walked far out of the pond and were very close to Elder He's cave, Zhao Si said to Tian Lin, "It is fishing. We must not disturb it at this time."

Tian Lin was speechless for a moment. He stood at the entrance of the cave and bowed to the cave, saying, "Disciple Tian Lin wants to see you for something."

The voice of Elder Xiao came from the cave, saying, "Aren't you climbing the Dao Mountain? You suddenly remembered that you care about your junior sister. Come in!"

This time, Tian Lin entered the cave alone, but a white shadow was faster than Tian Lin and rushed into the cave with a gust of wind.

Tian Lin heard Elder He's voice scolding: "This fish is too small, catch it again, catch it again!"

Immediately afterwards, Tian Lin saw Feihe's figure rushing out of the cave again, passing by him with a gust of wind.

Elder He’s cave was not dark because there were lanterns and candles hung on all eight sides of the cave.

Tian Lin noticed that in addition to the lanterns and candles on the eight sides of the cave, what was even more eye-catching were the swords of various sizes.

Tian Lin withdrew his gaze from the hundreds of swords and then looked at the three elders who were warming themselves by the fire in the main room of the cave.

Of the three elders, Elder Feng sat in the middle, while Elder He and Elder Xiao sat on both sides.

Tian Lin remembered that Elder Xiao had never practiced blood qi, and Elder Feng seemed to be the same.

As for Elder He, he practiced swordsmanship and seemed to have never practiced blood qi.

In this case, these three elders are the only three elders in Yaoyue Sect who have never practiced blood qi.

With all three of them gathered here, Tian Lin couldn't help but feel that they were conspiring to do something big.

"Disciple meets the three elders."

Tian Lin stood in front of the campfire and listened to Elder Xiao ask him: "Are you here to inquire about Han Yue? Now, what are your plans?"

"I only know that Senior Sister Han was detained in the Questioning Heart Sect, but I don't know why. The brothers and sisters in the peak are also very concerned about Senior Sister Han's situation, so they asked me to ask about it. I also ask the elders for instructions."

Elder Xiao sneered and said, "What is there to say? The Wenxin Sect has detained my Yaoyue Sect disciples. No matter what the reason is, I have no choice but to go to their door and ask for an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Feng immediately grabbed Elder Xiao's arm and said, "This matter needs to be carefully considered. Junior Brother Xiao, please do not ruin the thousand-year friendship of our righteous sect."

Elder Xiao broke free from Elder Feng's hand, stood up and asked Elder Feng:
"Is it the Wenxin Sect that wants to destroy the friendship, or is it me, the Yaoyue Sect, that wants to destroy the friendship?"

Elder Feng said bluntly: "At this critical moment, Sect Leader Xing will not cause a conflict between the Yaoyue Sect and the Wenxin Sect for the sake of an outer disciple."

"Haha, Master Xing, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Baihua Peak. I can just go to the Wenxin Sect to seek an explanation in my own name."

Elder Xiao was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves, but was stopped by Elder Feng:

"Junior Brother He has caused trouble in Wenxin Sect and almost couldn't come back. Junior Brother Xiao, if you go alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to save Han Yue, and you may also be in trouble."

He knew that these words would not scare Elder Xiao, so he continued:

"You should know that there are only a dozen white-clothed disciples in Yaoyue Sect now. If you don't consider the face of these dozen white-clothed disciples, you should also think about who will take care of your granddaughter in the future if you are detained by Wenxin Sect?"

Elder Xiao suddenly glanced at Tian Lin, which made Tian Lin feel extremely uncomfortable.

Tian Lin was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly followed Elder Feng in persuading Elder Xiao:
"I think what Elder Feng said is absolutely right. Now Baihua Peak and Senior Sister Xiao cannot do without the Peak Master, so please think twice."

Elder Xiao's face was uncertain for a long time, and finally he sat back down, and said angrily: "So, can we just let it go?"

Elder Feng certainly wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he knew that Elder Xiao would never agree.

He stroked his beard and said, "Why don't we ask Sect Leader Xing to draft a note and send it to the Questioning Heart Sect to see if there are any misunderstandings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder He, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes:
"What misunderstanding is there? People from the Heart Sect said that if any of the Blood Cultists from the Yaoyue Sect come, they will be killed. Even if any of the White-robed disciples come, they will be deducted.

I am afraid that once Senior Brother Xing's note is delivered, the people of the Questioning Heart Sect will be unable to contain their anger and come to kill us."

Tian Lin glanced at Elder He's face and found a sword wound on his cheek.

Apparently, Elder He also had a big fight in the Wenxin Sect.

The reason why he was able to come back was not because the Wenxin Sect let him go, but because he ran back with his own ability.

"Speaking of which, the Wenxin Sect has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, so why do they hate the Blood Cultists so much? To the point of turning against our Yaoyue Sect?" Elder Feng frowned in confusion, while Elder Xiao next to him sneered:

"This is all the good work of our Sect Leader Xing! If I wasn't afraid that the Yaoyue Sect would fall apart from now on, I would definitely bring a group of people together to give him a good fight."

Tian Lin, who was standing next to him, was moved.

Not to mention the illusion on the tenth stone step, he remembered that in the illusion on the nineteenth stone step, Zhou Qing died at the hands of the blood cultists.

Everything in the illusion is actually history that happened thousands of years ago, so Zhou Qing's death at the hands of the Blood Cultists and Zhou Shoufan becoming an orphan since childhood are all real events.

Since the Wenxin Sect was founded by Zhou Shoufan, it is not surprising that all the members of the sect hate the Blood Cultists.

"This won't work, that won't work. My apprentice has been detained, so I, as the master, have to become a coward?"

Elder Xiao became angry and stood up again.

Elder Feng immediately said, "It's not impossible for Junior Brother Xiao to go to the Wenxin Sect, but in order to avoid making things irreparable, it's better to use courtesy before force."

"How about courtesy before force?"

Elder Feng said: "Send a disciple to Wenxin Sect and hand over your letter in person.

Doesn't he only hate the Blood Cultists in the Wenxin Sect? As long as he knows that you, Baihua Peak, are not Blood Cultists, and that you, Junior Brother Xiao, actually hate the Blood Cultists, he will surely give you face."

Elder Xiao nodded slightly. He indeed hated the Blood Cultists and did not like the red-robed disciples in the sect.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Tian Lin's heart trembled. In order to avoid this difficult task falling on his head, he said decisively:
"I've heard that the fellow Taoists of the Wenxin Sect are all eccentric. Once they make up their minds, they will never change. I'm afraid I can only write a letter--"

He was racking his brains to find a suitable reason when Elder Feng said, "Whether it will work or not, we have to try to know."

Tian Lin was speechless for a moment. Elder Feng said this lightly, but for the disciple who was delivering the letter, this job that could be done by just "trying it" was not an easy task.

"If it really doesn't work, I will go to Wenxin Sect to fight after I recover from my injuries. If Wenxin Sect refuses to hand over the people, I will kill all the men, women, old and young in Wenxin Sect!"

Elder He looked excited when he spoke, and Tian Lin suspected that he simply wanted to kill people instead of saving Han Yue.

"No!"

Elder He's words forced Elder Feng to make a decision. He stood up and ordered Tian Lin directly:
"Junior Brother Tian, ​​you are now the head disciple of Baihua Peak. Normally, if there are any issues with the junior brothers and sisters in the peak, you are the one who should handle them. So, you should be the one to deliver the letter, right?"

What else can Tian Lin say at this time?

He nodded, but then said, "The sect competition will be held in a few days. Should I wait until after the competition before setting off?"

Elder Feng waved his hand and said:
"I will make the decision. You don't have to participate in the life and death competition. As long as you can bring Han Yue back from the Wenxin Sect, not only will your position as the head disciple be preserved, but I will also give you a flying sword and a flying boat."

When he saw Tian Lin enter the cave, the first thing he noticed was the sword in the cave, and he guessed that Tian Lin was very eager for the flying sword.

The so-called flying boat was just the necessary power for Tian Lin to deliver the letter. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tian Lin to ride a horse across most of the Wenxin Sect, right?

Moreover, if Tian Lin behaved too shabby, it would be a disgrace to the Yaoyue Sect.

"In that case, I will set out early tomorrow morning."

Tian Lin realized that he couldn't refuse, so he simply agreed.

Elder Xiao said to Tian Lin, "Go back to Baihua Peak first. I will find you in the evening."

Tian Lin went out of the cave, but found Zhao Si still guarding there.

He looked at Zhao Si in confusion, and heard Zhao Si say, "Senior Brother Tian, ​​Senior Brother Shang asked me to wait for you here."

Tian Lin followed Zhao Si out of the back mountain and saw Shang Yu outside the government office on the shady side of Yuechi Mountain.

Shang Yu smiled at Tian Lin and said, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​why do you look so sad? This doesn't seem like the behavior of a disciple of Baihua Peak."

Zhao Si, who was leading Tian Lin, was stunned and couldn't help but steal a glance at Tian Lin's face.

He couldn't tell Tian Lin's joy, anger, sorrow or happiness from his expression, and during the chat he only felt that Tian Lin was in a good mood.

So, Zhao Si didn’t know why Shang Yu said that Tian Lin looked sad - Tian Lin basically had a wooden face and the same expression all day long, so where did the sad look come from?

"I got this position of the Peak Disciple by chance, unlike Senior Brother Shang, who got it by risking his life.
However, Senior Brother Shang, you are now the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, and your status is far higher than that of the head disciples of other peaks. Why do you look so unhappy?"

After Tian Lin asked, Zhao Si stole a glance at Shang Yu again.

He saw Shang Yu smiling all day long, and that happy look didn't seem fake. So why did Tian Lin think Shang Yu was unhappy?
He glanced at Shang Yu, but unexpectedly Shang Yu also squinted at him.

Zhao Si was startled, and hurriedly bowed to Tian Lin and Shang Yu: "The two immortal masters have something to do, so I will go down first."

Tian Lin and Shang Yu watched Zhao Si walk away. Seeing that there was no one around, Shang Yu put his hands behind his back and sighed:

"Yes, Junior Brother's position as the Head Disciple was given to him by Elder Xiao, and my position as the Deputy Hall Master was given to me by the Sect Master. But you and I are not interested in this, so how can we be happy?"

As he spoke, he invited Tian Lin to walk into the garden.

This is Yuechi Mountain, and Tian Lin is not afraid of what Shangyu will do to him.

He followed Shang Yu and said bluntly, "Brother Shang is very busy, so he wouldn't come to chat with me for no reason, right?"

Shang Yu stopped under the tree, turned his head and looked at Tian Lin and said:
"I heard from the Second Steward that you went to Elder Liu's Taoist temple the night he left. In other words, Elder Liu met with you when he left?"

"Yes, at that time I noticed that the atmosphere in the sect was not right, and I was afraid that any changes in the Yaoyue Sect would affect me, so I wanted to find Master to ask about the Yaoyue Sect's attitude towards the Blood Cultists.

However, I didn’t expect that my master would run away before I made up my mind to leave Yaoyue Sect.”
