Chapter 244 Shameless

When Elder Xiao Xue heard what his wife said, he glanced at the silent monk who was tied up on the deck.

Although no one had ever introduced him to the identity of the Silent Monk, before the Class C students returned to the sect, perhaps the Xiangxi Sect had already informed the Wendao Sect of what happened at the mass grave.

Therefore, Elder Xiao Xue knew that the silent monk would come with them.

He rolled up his sleeves and took the silent monk into his hands.

I also heard him say to the students in Class C: "From now on, there will be other teaching elders to teach the classes in Class C and E. Disciples, please continue to study hard after you go back, and don't delay the monthly exam in half a month."

Many disciples opened their mouths, but thinking that Elder Xiao Xue was in a very bad mood, they swallowed their words.

After Elder Xiao Xue grabbed Monk Wusheng with one hand and led Elder Gao away, a disciple said, "Since the monthly exam is going to be held as usual, then what have we been busy doing in the mass grave for more than half a month? Isn't it all in vain?"

The female disciples were even more indignant: "This Elder Gao killed our two junior sisters for his own selfish desires. The sect must give an explanation for this matter."

A group of people chattered, and left in twos and threes, tired and angry.

Tian Lin returned to the cave in Hulu Peak. The Yu'er sisters who were practicing in the cave were somewhat surprised.

According to what Tian Lin said when he left, he would most likely not return until the end of the month.

But now it is only the middle of the month and Tian Lin has already returned.

While Yu'er asked Cui'er to prepare the meal, she was busy making tea for Tian Lin.

Before she could speak, Tian Lin asked, "When will your cultivation break through the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Yu'er said: "Thanks to the master, it will probably only take a year at most to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"I can't use the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid that the sect has distributed. You don't have to worry about me. Just keep it for your own cultivation."

After saying this, Tian Lin asked her, "Has anything happened in the sect in the past half month?"

Yu'er immediately said, "Nothing else happened. There is a disciple named Qu Jiangnan in Class A. Bao Jian, who is beside him, came to the cave to ask when you will be back, Master."

"Qu Jiangnan?"

Tian Lin didn't understand what was going on for a moment, and heard Yu'er say:
"I felt that Bao Jian's tone was not right, so I asked Cui Er privately. I heard that Master Qu and Miss Wang were supposed to be engaged. But because you, Master, took Miss Wang's place in Class C, the marriage never took place."

Tian Lin was stunned when he heard this, and finally remembered who Qu Jiangnan was.

Zhou Jin reminded Tian Lin twice not to set his sights on Wang Yanyu, because there was a senior brother Qu in Class A who was engaged to Wang Yanyu, and he was afraid that Tian Lin would be targeted by a jealous guy because of Wang Yanyu.

Tian Lin asked himself about his interactions with Wang Yanyu. Apart from the Lengxiang leaves that Wang Yanyu gave him, there was nothing else.

Unexpectedly, Leng Xiangye's matter was not a problem. Instead, Qu Jiangnan hated her because she took up the place in Class C.

"What does the failure of his engagement have to do with Senior Sister Wang not being able to enter Class C?"

Yu'er explained: "The Qu family is well-known throughout the Northern Wilderness, and they have an ancestor who is at the Nascent Soul stage.

Logically, Wang Yanyu, who was from Class C, was not worthy of Qu Jiangnan. Mrs. Qu had always looked down on Wang Yanyu, and now that Miss Wang didn't even get into Class C, Mrs. Qu had even more excuses to reject the marriage."

Tian Lin thought about it and nodded:
"So, this Senior Brother Qu must be deeply in love with Senior Sister Wang. Not only is he a jealous person, but he is also a loyal person."

"No matter how devoted he is, it's his own business. There's no reason for you to give up your place in Class C and help him and his wife be together."

Cui'er had already returned to the cave by this time, carrying a food box in her hand.

While helping her sister Yu'er prepare the dishes, she said:

"Besides, why did he come to you at this time? He just wants you to do worse in the exam at the end of the month so that Miss Wang can make room in Class C."

Tian Lin thought about the trip to the mass grave and the two female students who died innocently because of the ghost fetus, and thought that Qu Jiangnan didn't need to force him to move because there was a vacancy in Class C.

But the contradiction seems to have been resolved, but the truth is not so.

I was not the only one who was admitted to Class C, there was also Zhou Jin.

Why didn't he cause trouble for Zhou Jin and blame Zhou Jin for taking up Wang Yanyu's place?

Why did he come to cause trouble for me, saying that I was blocking Wang Yanyu's way?

Tian Lin initially thought it was because of his Hwahwalang background, but he dismissed the idea after a while. He suddenly remembered that Class C had always said that he got into Class C through connections, and that the Class C student who visited him had come to test his opinion.

Also, because I was not affected by this rumor in Class C, I gradually stopped taking it to heart.

Now that I think about it, Qu Jiangnan came to me because he felt that he had used his connections to squeeze out Wang Yanyu's place, so he came to stand up for Wang Yanyu.

"This Senior Brother Qu should know that I have returned to the sect. If he really wants to make trouble for me, he will definitely send someone over."

Tian Lin ate quickly and went straight to Zhou Jin's place.

It has been more than half an hour since the meal.

Tian Lin himself had no source of intelligence in the Dao Sect, but Zhou Jin and others were definitely not as ignorant as he was.

Obviously, Zhou Jin also knew why Tian Lin came.

He said, "If you are asking about Elder Gao, the sect had already made a decision before Elder Gao came back. Considering her attitude of admitting her mistakes, she will be allowed to reflect on her mistakes in the Mingxin Room for a hundred years."

At this point, Zhou Jin sighed and said, "It's a pity that Elder Gao had the opportunity to cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Core. Now that she has been asked to reflect on her mistakes for a hundred years, it is equivalent to cutting off her path to the Golden Core."

Although cultivating immortality can take hundreds of years, wasting a hundred years is enough to end a person's path to immortality.

While others were lamenting for Elder Gao, Tian Lin was thinking about the two female students who had died in vain and the thousands of lives lost in Yujia Village.

Tian Lin guessed that Elder Gao was punished because of those two female students.

Also because she really had no intention of killing the two female students, the sect let her off the hook.

As for the villagers of Yujia Village, they are short-lived people and destined to die in vain. Who would care?
"So what does the silent monk say?"

After Tian Lin asked, Zhou Jin said:

"Monk Wusheng, you must hand him over to the Little Arhat Temple for severe punishment. By the way, Junior Brother Tian, regarding your wish for the Vajra Subduing Demon Technique, Elder Gao also mentioned it to the other elders on your behalf."

At this time, Zhou Jin entered the cave with his sword in his arms and said, "Master Tian, I came to see you and said that Elder Xue wanted to ask you a question."

Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and bowed to Zhou Jin before leaving the cave.

Outside the cave, it was indeed the little Taoist boy from the Taoist temple.

Although the little Taoist boy is young, his cultivation has reached the initial stage of foundation building.

After he exchanged greetings with Tian Lin, he said, "My master wants to talk to Senior Brother Tian. I wonder if Senior Brother Tian has time."

The Taoist boy beside the Yuanying period was not considered a disciple of the Daoist Sect. But even without this status, who would dare to be rude to someone close to him?

What is even more rare is that although this little boy is young, he never bullies others and is always very polite to everyone.

Tian Lin quickly returned the greeting and said to the Taoist boy, "Brother, please lead the way."

He suspected that Elder Xue wanted to use him to clear his daughter-in-law of the charges.

Of course Tian Lin didn't mind doing this. After all, Monk Wusheng deserved to die and was the perfect person to take the blame.

But after arriving at the Taoist temple, Elder Xue never mentioned anything about helping Elder Gao to exonerate himself.

He asked the Taoist boy to find a cushion for Tian Lin, and waited until Tian Lin sat down before saying, "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to go to class C and E to study. After the end of the month, you can go directly to class B to study."

Tian Lin was shocked and quickly stood up and said, "How can I be admitted to Class B?"

Elder Xue said: "With your talent and your performance, no one will gossip about you if you enter Class B."

Tian Lin was speechless for a moment, because Qu Jiangnan had already come to him about the matter of entering Class C.

At that time, he still had confidence that he was able to enter Class C based on his own strength.

But now that he has entered Class B, Tian Lin does not have the confidence to tell others that he got into Class B based on his own abilities.

But so what?

What’s the point of having face if you can get into Class B?
