Chapter 276 Regret is useless
Chapter 276 Regret is useless
"I have never made any mistakes, why are you expelling me from the sect?"
Although Mei Xiangu's injuries had not healed yet, she still stood up and looked at her grandfather with resentment.
"Just because I'm the elder of the Goddess Sect, just because I'm your grandfather."
After Elder Mei finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed Fairy Mei's badge.
He stopped talking nonsense, nodded to Tian Lin and others, and disappeared in an instant.
The teaching elder and the Qiu elder looked at each other, and the hostility between them no longer existed.
After all, this result, apart from being disadvantageous to Mei Xiangu, does not cause any loss to the two of them.
It can also be said that this result is acceptable to both of them. It is better than the death of either Mei Xiangu or Tian Lin.
Besides, this was a decision made by a Nascent Soul Elder.
One of them is a teaching elder, and the other is a deacon elder. Can they disobey the decision of the Nascent Soul Elder?
The teaching elders and deacon elders are, to put it nicely, elders; to put it bluntly, they handle miscellaneous affairs for the sect.
"Master Mei!"
Elder Qiu looked at Mei Xiangu, thought for a moment and said, "The most important thing for you now is to have a good rest and take care of your body."
Logically, Mei Xiangu is no longer a member of the Goddess Sect, so she is not worthy of the title of "Junior nephew".
Besides, Mei Xiangu is now Tian Lin's swordsman. Not to mention that she is no longer an inner disciple of the Goddess Sect, her status is even higher than that of the outer disciples.
But considering that she has a grandfather who is at the Nascent Soul stage, the inner and outer gates are just a matter of a word from her grandfather.
Therefore, Elder Qiu treated Mei Xiangu as before and appeared quite kind.
"No, I want to go back to the Goddess Sect and ask him in person."
How could Fairy Mei be willing to be Tian Lin's swordsman?
She stood up and was about to circulate her true energy and fly away with her sword.
But now she was able to stay on the sea surface only because of Elder Qiu. With her seriously injured body, it was very difficult for her to fly away, let alone move with a sword.
As expected, her body tilted, but fortunately she was supported by Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "You should know Elder Mei's temper. Since he has expelled you from the sect, he will not let you into the Goddess Sect.
Furthermore, because you swore an oath with Houtu to become the sword-bearing nephew Tian, you are different from the sword-bearing nephews of other families. According to the rules between master and servant, from now on, the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of Master Tian will be closely related to you. If he dies, you will never survive alone.
If you break your oath, Hou Tu will not kill you, but will capture your soul and make you suffer for millions of years."
Mei Xiangu said, "So I can't understand why someone would give his own granddaughter to someone else as a slave? If my grandmother were still alive, she would never do this. No, take me back to the sect to ask him clearly."
How could Elder Qiu be willing to do such a thankless task?
She said quickly: "Now that the matter is done, even if you find Elder Mei, he can't help you get the paper contract back from Hou Tu. So even if you really meet Elder Mei, what's the point?"
While they were talking, Tian Lin was also talking on the flying boat above the clouds.
The teaching elder checked Tian Lin's body and found that Tian Lin was fine, so he began to wonder. But considering that Tian Lin was Elder Yu's disciple and had such outstanding talent, it was not impossible that he had some magical power that allowed him to stay in Shenxiantang for a long time.
Seeing that the teaching elder did not start the boat, Tian Lin coughed and said, "Does the elder think that Mei Xiangu will really go with me?"
The teaching elder smiled and said, "Since she has signed a paper contract with Hou Tu, she can't regret it. She has no other choice but to go with us."
Tian Lin said: "Does a paper contract with Hou Tu really have such a strong binding force?"
"Hou Tu and Huang Tian are both in charge of the principle of 'faith'. If you ask them to be witnesses, you must not break the promise. If you break the promise, it will be more regrettable than going to the eighteen levels of hell, and you will not be able to be reborn for millions of years.
Therefore, very few people dare to swear an oath with the two gods."
Tian Lin nodded, and Ju Yunhai patted Tian Lin's shoulder with envy:
"I said at first that Junior Brother Tian, you two sword bearers are too weak, so why don't I help you find a sword bearer in the early stage of foundation building from my clan. Who would have thought that before I took any action, you got a sword bearer in the late stage of foundation building, about to reach the golden elixir stage."
After hearing Yun Hai's words, Tian Lin did not look proud. Instead, he said, "She is already so unruly at the late stage of foundation building. When she reaches the early stage of golden elixir, won't she trample me to the ground and humiliate me?"
The teaching elder said: "Since she is your sword, she may pretend to obey you, but if she dares to attack you directly, she will be punished by Hou Tu. Therefore, Junior Brother Tian does not need to worry too much.
In fact, the higher her cultivation level, the more helpful she will be to you. Unless one day her cultivation level can get rid of the Dao seal that Hou Tu has placed on her body, she will only be your sword bearer for the rest of her life."
"Because this is a matter of a lifetime, I can't understand why her grandfather would 'sell' his granddaughter to someone else?"
"The Yuanying elders all have some ability of divination. I think he probably thinks that it will be beneficial for Junior Sister Mei to stay with Junior Sister Tian in the future."
After saying this, the teaching elder stopped talking.
Everyone looked down into the fog, only to see Elder Qiu and Fairy Mei boarding the flying boat.
After Elder Qiu and Elder Xue performed the ceremony, they said to Tian Lin, "I will leave my nephew Mei to you, nephew Tian. I hope that nephew Tian will treat nephew Mei well in the future."
Tian Lin glanced at Mei Xiangu and found that she had no intention of holding the sword. As soon as she got on the boat, she sat cross-legged there to meditate and restore her cultivation without waiting for his consent.
Tian Lin did not take it as an offense, and said to Elder Qiu: "Of course I dare not bully her, but I also hope that she will not bear any hatred towards me. If not, it is better to ask her to return to the Goddess Sect."
Everyone noticed that when Tian Lin said this, the corner of Mei Xiangu's mouth twitched slightly.
Obviously, although Fairy Mei said she was meditating to recover from her injuries, she was actually still very concerned about the conversation between Tian Lin and Elder Qiu.
Elder Qiu smiled and said, "I have some spiritual stones here. They are for Junior Brother Mei's living expenses in the future. Junior Brother Tian, please accept them and keep them for me."
She took off a storage bag and handed it to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin only took a quick glance and found that there were thousands of high-quality spirit stones and dozens of stone crystals that he had never seen before.
He accepted the storage bag and returned the greeting to Elder Qiu, who then left with the other two disciples of the Goddess Sect.
On the boat, because of the presence of Mei Xiangu, everyone was not able to talk in front of her.
Seeing this, the teaching elder had no choice but to sail to Pingyang City.
