Chapter 283 Cause
Chapter 283 Cause
Tian Lin and Yu'er sisters entered the hall, but unexpectedly found that there were not only Elder Xue but also one or two Nascent Soul elders in the hall.
In the main hall, the lights were still lit as usual.
Elder Xue sat in the middle, and below them knelt Senior Brother Tang and the woman in white.
Tian Lin knew clearly that the woman in white was not convinced by Elder Xue, so this kneeling could not be an acknowledgment of her mistake to Elder Xue, but an acknowledgment of her mistake to the Yuanying Elder to the left of Elder Xue.
Although Tian Lin had never seen the Yuanying Elder, but looking at his face, it was not difficult to guess that he was Senior Brother Tang's grandfather, Elder Tang in the sect's Elder Council.
Elder Tang had a face as gloomy as water, and although he didn't say anything, he made people feel extremely depressed.
In contrast, the Yuanying Elder to the right of Elder Xue had a smile on his face, and seemed very kind to both Tian Lin and the woman in white.
Tian Lin pushed Cui'er aside and managed to stand firmly. He greeted Elder Xue and Elder Tang first, and then greeted the Yuanying Elder. "Junior greets Elder Mei."
This smiling and amiable old man is Mei Xiangu's grandfather.
Tian Lin never thought that Mei Xiangu's grandfather would appear here.
"Since you are injured, please sit down first. No need to be polite."
After Elder Mei finished speaking, Elder Xue said, "Bring two cushions and let Tian Lin and Miss Mei sit down."
The Taoist boy did as he was told and quickly placed two cushions next to the woman in white.
Tian Lin glanced at the woman in white and sat down on the mat with difficulty.
The situation at this time was that several people were facing three elders.
But the woman in white and Senior Brother Tang were kneeling, while Tian Lin and Fairy Mei were sitting.
How could the woman in white not be furious in this situation?
Elder Xue said, "Put a cushion for Elder Wu as well."
Just as the Taoist boy was about to take the cushion, Elder Tang said in a cold voice, "Let her kneel down! We must also let her understand that the Daoist Sect is not her Daoist Sect, nor is it the Daoist Sect of my Tang family. It is the Daoist Sect of everyone."
The woman in white was about to stand up, but this time she had to kneel on the ground in shame and anger.
Tian Lin could feel that she had murderous intent, but this murderous intent was probably directed at him.
However, the two sides had already had a dispute, and Tian Lin had no idea how to calm the other party's anger.
He simply looked straight ahead, sat calmly on the mat without moving, waiting for Elder Xue to speak.
"We have also seen what happened on the mountain."
Elder Xue asked the woman in white, "Elder Wu, are you the law enforcement elder of the Dao Sect?"
The woman in white had anticipated that she would end up in a bad situation, and she said calmly, "I am not asking for the law enforcement elder of the Daoist sect."
Elder Xue asked her again: "Since you are not the law enforcement elder of the Daoist Sect, why did you resort to private punishment against Tian Lin and Mei Xiaoyou?"
The woman in white raised her head and said, "The man surnamed Mei killed my eldest son and injured my second son. I am very angry and I am standing up for my child."
"Since they are all disciples of the Daoist Sect, the right and wrong should be determined by the Law Enforcement Hall after the truth is found out. When will it be your turn to step forward?"
Elder Xue stopped asking questions and decisively said to Elder Tang beside him: "As a teaching elder of the Daoist Sect, how to punish her should be decided by the elders. Old Tang, what do you think?"
Elder Tang stood up and said, "No need, I will take her back. First, I will ask her to resign from her position as a teaching elder and not leave the house for ten years."
The white-clothed woman's face changed, and she looked up at Elder Tang. Senior Brother Tang knelt down and took two steps, saying, "Grandpa, what did my mother do wrong?"
Elder Tang looked at his grandson and said, "Your brother's death was the result of their normal fight and their own lack of ability. As for you, you provoked your Senior Sister Mei for no reason. Why don't you apologize to her?"
Senior Brother Tang blushed and looked towards Fairy Mei.
By this time, Mei Xiangu had recovered some of her injuries and her sitting posture had become straighter.
"They are just kids playing around, why are you taking it so seriously, Old Tang?"
Here, Elder Mei spoke to ease the situation, while over there, Senior Brother Tang thought he could get away with it this way without having to make an embarrassing apology.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his grandfather's face darkened: "Do you also want to stay at home for ten years like your mother?"
Hearing the threat in Grandpa's tone, Brother Tang, a grown man, had tears already falling from his eyes.
He stood up and saluted respectfully to Mei Xiangu. But before he could open his mouth, his grandfather stepped on his knee.
His grandfather's kick forced him to kneel before Mei Xiangu. Mei Xiangu did not feel the slightest pleasure at being kowtowed and apologized to by him, but instead frowned.
In the hall, Elder Xue and Elder Mei both frowned, but neither of them spoke to dissuade them.
Just like that, Senior Brother Tang kowtowed three times and was finally carried away by Elder Tang.
After the family of three left, the depressing atmosphere in the hall disappeared.
Elder Xue's face was not looking good. Elder Mei stroked his beard and said, "This Senior Brother Tang has a really hot temper."
Elder Xue said, "My senior brother has always been a loner, so he often does things unexpectedly. Senior Brother Mei, please don't mind."
Elder Mei said, "It's all my granddaughter's fault. She's always causing trouble outside."
He also admonished Mei Xiangu, "You must remember that you are no longer a disciple of the Goddess Sect, and you must not act recklessly. Today it is all thanks to your Grandpa Xue, otherwise you would have suffered a great loss. Why don't you come and kowtow to your Grandpa Xue?"
There is a huge difference between the kowtow of Fairy Mei and that of Senior Brother Tang. Senior Brother Tang kowtows to apologize and show shame, while Fairy Mei kowtows because her grandfather is looking for a big backer for her in the Dao Sect.
She kowtowed three times before Elder Xue helped Mei Xiangu up. He said to Elder Mei:
"Brother Mei, rest assured. As long as your grandson doesn't cause trouble in the sect, no one will be able to bully her."
Elder Mei said, "Brother Xue, don't worry. When your granddaughter comes to my Goddess Sect, I will definitely treat her as my own grandson."
Tian Lin, who was sitting on a mat nearby, suddenly understood that the two old men were making a deal.
Elder Mei was worried about the Fairy Mei and was afraid that she would be bullied in the Dao Sect, so he came to ask Elder Xue to take care of the Fairy Mei.
Similarly, Elder Xue’s evil grandson cannot grow up openly in the Dao Sect.
Elder Xue planned to let Elder Mei take his ghost-born grandson to the Goddess Sect.
Tian Lin is now very suspicious. He and Mei Xiangu were injured by Elder Wu on the mountainside. Logically, the three old men on the mountain should have been able to prevent the incident from happening.
The reason why they did not come forward to stop it was because Elder Mei wanted to see whether his "master" Mei Xiangu would protect him.
Fortunately, I am more protective of my shortcomings. Otherwise, I would have offended Elder Mei, and Elder Xue would probably have a bad impression of me.
