Chapter 281: The Butt is Crooked
Chapter 281: The Butt is Crooked
Not to mention that other disciples found it difficult to get close to Mei Xiangu, even the teaching elders did not want to provoke Mei Xiangu.
After all, on the surface, Mei Xiangu is Tian Lin's servant.
But who can simply take Mei Xiangu as Tian Lin's sword? Aren't you afraid of the Yuanying grandfather behind Mei Xiangu?
"Things have not yet been completely resolved. I will first report to Elder Xue what happened during this trip. You can return to your own residences—"
When they arrived at Hulu Peak, the teaching elder put Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu down and left.
This was the first time that Fairy Mei came to the Daoist Sect. She couldn't help but look at the academies all over the mountain with a scrutinizing gaze, with a hint of sneer on the corners of her mouth.
Tian Lin did not ask her what she was thinking about, so as not to give her the opportunity to mock Wen Dao Zong.
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and arrived at Tian Lin's cave without saying a word.
After Tian Lin became a Class B disciple, his cave had already changed and he was no longer a neighbor of Zhou Mengjiao.
He was surrounded by the caves of Class B disciples, but no one was in the caves during this time period, so it seemed particularly quiet.
As soon as Tian Lin came back, Yu'er and her sister got up quickly.
They probably knew when Tian Lin would return, so they were not surprised to see him. But they were somewhat surprised to see Mei Xiangu behind Tian Lin.
The two knew that Mei Xiangu was a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, and they were also clear about Mei Xiangu's character, so they were somewhat nervous.
Yu'er hurriedly performed the formalities and said, "I greet Miss Mei."
Fairy Mei just glanced at the two women and walked towards the stone table in the cave.
She lifted the teapot on the stone table, took a look at it, and then glanced around, then laughed coldly, "How can people live in a place like this?"
Tian Lin knew that Mei Xiangu was going to find fault with him, but he was not afraid that Mei Xiangu would treat him badly, so he did not say anything.
Mei Xiangu once again took the lead and looked at Yu'er and Cui'er, asking them, "Where are you two living?"
Yu'er couldn't figure out the purpose of Mei Xiangu's visit, so she looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin said to them, "She will be living here permanently in the future. You can help her get familiar with the environment here."
After hearing this, Yu'er quickly said to Mei Xiangu, "Miss, please follow me."
The two of them took Mei Xiangu towards a stone chamber and soon looked at the four stone chambers in the cave.
Except for the alchemy room and the study, three of the four stone chambers have spirit gathering arrays.
The spirit gathering array can gather spiritual energy, which is somewhat beneficial to spiritual practice.
The house where Tian Lin lives has the largest spirit gathering array, followed by the room where Yu'er and Cui'er live together.
The remaining room is the guest room. Apart from the small spirit gathering array, no one lives there, so although it is clean it lacks life.
Mei Xiangu glanced at the stone house in the middle and said to Yu'er and her sister, "You two move to the guest room. I'll be living in this room."
Cui'er was about to speak when Yu'er pulled her sleeve.
But Yu'er hadn't given in yet, and Tian Lin, who was drinking tea at the stone table over there, had already spoken:
"Miss Mei, you are here to be my swordsman, not because of my request. I know you don't want to be my swordsman, and I don't want to accept you as my swordsman. If you really don't want to stay here, you can just leave. Why make things difficult for my servants?"
Mei Xiangu said, "That's what I've been waiting for. I'm leaving now."
After she finished speaking, she left the cave. At this time, Yu'er asked Tian Lin in surprise, "Master, Miss Mei is a disciple of the Goddess Sect. How could she be your sword bearer?" Tian Lin said, "She did it because I made a bet with her in Chenxiantang and she lost. Don't ask her about this in the future, or I won't be able to protect you."
Yu'er still couldn't believe it, because Mei Xiangu was a disciple of the Goddess Sect. Even if she kept her promise, she had to consider the reputation of the Goddess Sect, right?
If a disciple of the Goddess Sect did what an outer disciple of the Wending Sect did and held a sword, and this matter spread, not only would the Goddess Sect be embarrassed, but others would also think that Tian Lin was unruly and did not know etiquette.
However, Tian Lin didn't want to say more, and Yu'er didn't dare to ask more.
Cui Er, on the other hand, gloated over the misfortune: "I thought she was such a nobody that she didn't take us seriously. But after all, she turned out to be the master's servant."
No one spoke in the cave for a while, and Tian Lin was also very worried about Mei Xiangu.
He was not afraid that Mei Xiangu would really leave, as that would save a lot of trouble.
He just felt that Mei Xiangu would not just leave. If she really wanted to leave, she would not go back to the Daoist Sect with him.
Sure enough, someone soon spoke outside the cave. After Yu'er went out, he brought a woman in the Foundation Establishment Stage into the cave.
Tian Lin recognized this man as a servant of Senior Brother Qiao from the academy. He heard the servant say, "Master Tian, the girl who just came out of your cave is now quarreling with someone outside."
Tian Lin didn't say anything, Yu'er asked her, "Sister, that's the sword my master brought back. Tell me, why would she make trouble with others?"
The servant said, "She must have offended Master Tang from Class A. But this new girl is quite capable. She injured both of Master Tang's swordsmen right under his nose."
Cui Er said angrily, "How can this Mei look like a servant? He just came back and he's already causing trouble for our master."
What she said was not wrong, but Tian Lin knew that in addition to defending herself, she was also defending her own status.
After all, Tian Lin brought back a new person, and from then on, the two sisters would no longer be "favored" by Tian Lin.
"Let me go and take a look!"
Tian Lin knew that this would happen sooner or later when he brought Mei Xiangu with him, after all, Mei Xiangu killed Senior Brother Tang. It would be better if she didn't come to the Ask Dao Sect, because the descendants of the Tang family in the Ask Dao Sect would not go to the Goddess Sect to cause trouble for her.
But if she came to the Wendao Sect, wouldn't that be equivalent to killing someone else's relatives and then running to hold a wedding banquet in front of other people's relatives to show off?
How could the people of the Tang family tolerate this?
The Yu'er sisters hurriedly followed Tian Lin out of the cave. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they saw a young man with blood all over his chest, looking angry and scared, under the sword of Mei Xiangu.
Seeing that Mei Xiangu was about to attack, Tian Lin shouted, "Stop!"
Fairy Mei really stopped!
She is not a fool, how could she go on a killing spree in the Wendao Sect?
If she really wanted to kill people, she wouldn't use a sword.
"Brother Tang, what on earth happened here?"
Tian Lin walked forward and bowed to the young man on the ground.
The young man obviously knew where Tian Lin came from. He pointed at Tian Lin and said, "Mr. Tian, I already know that she is your swordsman. Let me ask you, your servant hurt me, what should I say now?"
Tian Lin had been thinking about this all the way, but after thinking it over, he didn't think he could satisfy the Tang family.
Could he kill Mei Xiangu and avenge the Tang family?
Since this step cannot be achieved, no matter how much we try to please them, the Tang family will never be happy.
Tian Lin simply looked at Mei Xiangu and said, "Even if Senior Brother Tang did something wrong, as long as he apologizes, why do you have to hurt him?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knew that Tian Lin's butt was crooked.
