Chapter 279: The Chivalrous Mei Xiangu
Chapter 279: The Chivalrous Mei Xiangu
Faced with Mei Xiangu's ridicule, Tian Lin did not feel there was anything to be angry about.
Instead, he sincerely admired and said, "Brother Zhuang is indeed extraordinary. He has been recognized by the old sect leader. I think it must be easy for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Hearing Tian Lin praising Zhaixingzi, Mei Xiangu became even more unhappy and could not help but scolding:
"He is just a villain who deceives people's feelings. Now he is not even at the Golden Core stage. How can you be sure that he can reach the Nascent Soul stage?"
Tian Lin knew that Mei Xiangu had a deep prejudice against Zhaixingzi, so he did not argue with Mei Xiangu.
At this moment, Ju Yunhai and others who had been waiting in the yard for a long time heard the noise here and ran out.
Ju Yunhai stopped Tian Lin and asked, "Junior brother, how is it, what benefits did you get?"
Tian Lin took out the Tao Seed and said, "The old sect leader has shown favor and given each of us present a Tao Seed."
The people present looked at the lotus seeds in Tian Lin's hand with indescribable envy in their eyes.
Someone said sourly: "In this way, Junior Brother Tian, you will have a better chance of reaching the Golden Core Realm in the future."
Tian Lin took the lotus seeds back. He didn't mean to show off.
The reason why he took it out and showed it to everyone was, firstly, he could not hide the fact that he had gained benefits, and secondly, hiding it would not only fail to dispel everyone's jealousy, but would make people say that he was arrogant.
"My ability is nothing. The truly amazing one is Senior Brother Zhaixingzi."
Tian Lin decided to use the Star-Picking Art to attract hatred, and he recounted his experience in the hall.
When everyone heard that even the old sect leader asked about Zhaixingzi, and even left several Taoist fruits to Zhaixingzi when Zhaixingzi didn't show up, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Ju Yunhai asked Tian Lin: "How many Dao Fruits did the old sect master give to Senior Brother Zhuang? What Dao Fruits of Dao Art did they belong to?"
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "The Great Elder didn't say anything about this matter, and we didn't dare to ask."
Senior Sister Jia said, "Senior Brother Zhuang has already become famous in our sect, but I didn't expect that he would also have such a great reputation in Shuiyun Sect."
Over there, Mei Xiangu had a bad relationship with everyone else, so as soon as she entered the yard, she went back to her own room.
At this moment, after hearing what Senior Sister Jia said, she sneered in the room: "A child who is smart when young may not be good when he grows up."
Although everyone is afraid of Mei Xiangu, Mei Xiangu is no longer an inner disciple of the Goddess Sect.
Senior Sister Jia simply said to Tian Lin: "Junior Brother, you should also take care of your sword. Didn't she also go to the main hall? What's the use of holding a sword with a Dao Seed? In my opinion, it's better for you to use the Dao Seed yourself."
This was clearly an attempt to ask him to snatch the Taoist seed from Fairy Mei.
Indeed, Tao seeds are extremely precious. Unless there are people who have no shortage of Tao seeds, who would give Tao seeds to servants to eat?
In the room over there, Mei Xiangu's angry voice rang out: "How dare you!"
Everyone looked at Tian Lin, who was now Mei Xiangu's master. They did not believe that Mei Xiangu dared to attack Tian Lin because of the thick earth paper deed.
But Tian Lin had no intention of usurping the Dao Seed in Mei Xiangu's hand, nor did he regard Mei Xiangu as his own sword, so he said:
"That is her destiny, not mine. How can I take it away from her?"
After these words were spoken, some people in the yard felt that Tian Lin was pedantic, but they could not say anything more.
However, a laugh was heard outside the yard, saying, "Junior Brother Tian is wrong. You have to seek and seize the opportunity to become an immortal yourself. How can you wait for others to bring it to you?" When they looked, they saw a young man walking in from outside.
Ju Yunhai's expression changed slightly, and he said, "It's Senior Brother Xu."
Senior Brother Changxue seemed to remember something and said to Tian Lin, "Junior Brother Tian, go make tea for Senior Brother Xu."
Inner disciples are indeed noble, but why should Tian Lin be asked to make tea?
But Tian Lin knew clearly that his senior brother Changxue must have his reasons for making such arrangements.
Just as he was about to leave, the young man raised his hand to block Tian Lin's way: "I didn't come here to drink tea, but to discuss something with Junior Brother Tian. Junior Brother Tian, please come with me outside."
Several people looked at Tian Lin. Tian Lin thought of the Tao seeds in the storage bag and guessed the young man's purpose.
He said, "I am only an outer sect disciple, and I am only in the initial stage of foundation building. After walking around the hall today, I am really a little tired. Brother, if you have anything to say, just talk here. We are all fellow disciples here. Is there anything else that needs to be hidden from you all?"
Xu Shixiong's face turned cold. He really didn't want to make things too ugly, but Tao seeds were indeed extremely precious. Having a Tao seed wouldn't know how much effort one could save in cultivation.
"Junior Brother Tian, I invited you out of kindness, but you are so disrespectful?"
His tone was threatening, and Tian Lin would never follow him this time: "What good intentions do you have, Senior Brother? Why do you have to take me out to talk alone?"
It was impossible for Xu Shixiong to reveal his intentions in public, even though he knew that his intentions could not be hidden from everyone.
He flew into a rage and said, "Well, since you dare to disrespect my brother, I will teach you a lesson today."
Senior Brother Changxue and the others hurried forward and said, "Senior Brother, please wait!"
But Xu Shixiong didn't care about Senior Brother Changxue and the others at all. He slapped them away with just one palm.
At the same time, Tian Lin took the opportunity to step back a few steps and distance himself from Xu Shixiong.
Tian Lin then circulated his Qi and shouted into the room, "Senior Sister Mei, what are you still doing sitting in the room? Don't you know that if the master humiliates the servant, he will die?"
The words "If the master is humiliated, the minister will die" made Mei Xiangu very angry.
Her face flushed, she kicked through the wall, strode out, and vented her anger on Xu Shixiong: "Xu, you dare to take away the Dao seeds of your fellow disciples, are you still considered an inner sect disciple?"
Xu Shixiong knew that Mei Xiangu was in the yard, but he could not guess that Mei Xiangu was Tian Lin's swordsman.
He looked at Mei Xiangu in surprise and said, "I am talking to my junior fellow apprentice. What does it have to do with you? Mei Xiangu, please don't meddle in other people's business."
Mei Xiangu couldn't say that she was Tian Lin's swordsman, so she could only say with a red face: "If the road is uneven, someone will shovel it. If things are unfair, someone will take care of it. I, Mei Xiangu, hate people who bully the weak the most. If you want to hurt him, fight me first!"
Xu Shixiong just thought that the matter was too ridiculous. He had never heard of Mei Xiangu being so chivalrous.
"Well, don't think that I won't hurt you just because you are a disciple of the Goddess Sect!"
He was about to take action when he spoke. Fortunately, Tan Youqi appeared and said:
"Brothers and sisters, if you want to talk, please talk. Why do you have to fight in my Shuiyun Sect just because of a disagreement? Is it possible that my Shuiyun Sect has not treated us well enough?"
Tan Youqi is not as strong as Mei Xiangu, and Xu Shixiong is not afraid of Tan Youqi.
But Tan Youqi is the host of Shuiyun Sect. How can the people of Shuiyun Sect sit idly by and watch when there is trouble here?
He knew that it would be bad for him if he made a big fuss, so he stopped and snorted coldly at Tian Lin: "I'll remember your disrespect to my brother today. When you return to the Dao Sect, I don't believe anyone can protect you."
