Chapter 380 Goodwill
Chapter 380 Goodwill
Tian Lin asked along the way and finally saw the location of Chenxian Pavilion in Ping'anfang.
However, this academy was packed with too many Jindan cultivators inside and outside.
These people all said that they were from Wu Xilai’s hometown, but even Tian Lin knew that the number of people entering Tianmen this time was no more than two handfuls.
There were at least hundreds of Jindan cultivators blocking the entrance of the academy.
"Please be patient, please be patient. Everyone please write your visiting cards and I will register your names. When my master is free, he will invite you all after reading the visiting cards!"
Because so many people came, Elder Wuhen had to ask familiar families to send some servants to maintain order.
This way, he wouldn't have to deal with those who came to cheat him personally.
"How can these monks be so shameless? When did they appear in our 'hometown'?"
Elder Wuhen and Wu Xilai were in the attic of the courtyard, and they could see the situation on the street at a glance.
At this time, the streets were blocked by Jindan monks.
These people claimed to be Wu Xilai's fellow villagers, but in fact Elder Wuhen knew that these people were fake.
Because in the eyes of Wu Xilai and Elder Wuhen, only those with Nascent Soul cultivation can break into the Heavenly Gate and come to this world.
Those Jindan cultivators, let alone breaking into the Heavenly Gate, could not survive the sword energy of Shenxiantang.
"It's human nature to curry favor with the powerful. Becoming a cultivator won't change that."
Wu Xilai said, "It's been a few days since the notice was posted. Have you heard any news about your two brothers?"
Elder Wuhen shook his head and continued, "Could it be that my two senior brothers were delayed on the way and therefore have not come to Beijing yet?"
"Then just wait!"
Wu Xilai looked at the street again, finally shook his head and left.
As soon as he left, two new retainers came running over, holding a large stack of visiting cards in their arms, and said, "Master, you have received hundreds of them in just one morning."
Wu Xilai picked up a visiting card, glanced at the words "Jindan" on it, and threw it on the ground.
He then took another visiting card, but the owner of the visiting card was still a Jindan cultivator—
Seeing this, Wu Xilai threw away all the visiting cards and scolded his retainers, saying, "From now on, you should check these visiting cards yourself. Any visiting cards that do not have the cultivation level of Yuanying should not be presented to me."
The retainer was stunned, not understanding why the hometown people of the Jindan cultivators and the foundation-building cultivators were not considered fellow villagers?
However, the two retainers did not dare to ask more questions. They nodded quickly and went downstairs with a pile of visiting cards.
The two of them threw the visiting card in a room specially for visiting cards, and then left the yard with light luggage.
At the entrance of the institute, there were still many people handing in visiting cards.
As soon as one of the retainers sat down, a young man immediately handed him a visiting card.
But the servant did not read the information on the visiting card. He only asked the young man, "I saw you a few days ago. Didn't you hand in the visiting card? Why are you here again now?"
The young man said hurriedly, "I have been waiting for Master Wu to summon me for a long time, and I suspect that Master Wu missed my card when he was reading it, so I came here to make up for it."
The retainer said angrily, "Are you here to make fun of me? Why should I bother with you for no reason?"
The young man took out a low-grade spirit stone and stuffed it into the retainer's hand: "Brother, don't be angry. This is a little gift from Xiaoke to you."
Low-grade spirit stones are not really valuable to a retainer at the Golden Core Realm.
But in this last age, every time a Spirit Stone is used, it becomes less and less. Therefore, the value of a low-grade Spirit Stone cannot be compared with that in the heyday.
The retainer accepted the spirit stone and stopped scolding the young man. However, when he opened the young man's visiting card again, he found that the young man's native place had changed from Hongsi Township to Nantang Township.
Hongsi Township and Nantang Township are far apart, and there is no connection between them. The retainer was used to it, and he knew that everyone was guessing where Wu Xilai's hometown was. So every time he sent a visiting card, if these people didn't accept it, they would immediately change their hometown and send it again.
But the Great Qi Dynasty was vast and rich in resources, with countless states and counties of all sizes.
These states and counties have jurisdiction over countless towns and villages.
Wu Xilai refused to reveal his place of origin, so those who wanted to establish a relationship with him had to rely on guessing for an unknown amount of time.
But no matter whether these people were guessing right or wrong, the retainers knew in their hearts that what was blocking these people from getting married was not only their place of origin, but also their cultivation.
"Why, how come the Foundation Establishment Stage is here too?"
After sending the young man away, the retainer looked at the fields and forests in front of him.
Tian Lin said: "Even the emperor has a few poor relatives. Although I am at the foundation-building stage, I am indeed from the hometown of Master Wu."
The retainer asked, "Your hometown is Chenxiantang? Haha, do you think that just because you have the word Chenxian in your name, you can become related to Master Wu?"
The retainer took a look at Tian Lin's visiting card, but did not throw it away.
Anyway, he would throw the visiting cards in front of him into the small hut in the yard when the time came.
"Senior, after handing over the visiting card, when can I expect to see Master Wu?"
Tian Lin was unwilling to leave immediately, so he asked a question in front of his retainer.
The retainer sat on a stool without looking up. "When my master has some free time and confirms that you are one of his fellow villagers, he will post a notice at the door. When you see your name on the notice, come look for me again."
This answer was the same as what the other people said, and the retainers said the same thing to everyone who came to visit.
However, after a few days, no notice was posted at the entrance of the courtyard. In other words, after so many days, no villagers came.
"Old man Tingyu still wants to stay in the Wang family and is unwilling to come to Chenxian Pavilion to expose his identity. So I want to rely on him to introduce me to Wu Xilai, but I'm afraid it won't work."
Tian Lin thought, if he couldn't see Wu Xilai, how could he get close to him?
He waited here for two days, but no notice was posted.
Tian Lin followed the example of others and sent out two more visiting cards, but he never heard back. As a result, he stopped sending out visiting cards.
That afternoon, when Tian Lin was guarding the gate of Chenxian Pavilion, he finally saw the short elder who was as tall as an iron tower appear.
Tian Lin quickly stood up and was about to say hello, but immediately shut up.
"Why is there another Foundation Establishment Stage?"
The servant's voice was heard over there, but what attracted Tian Lin's attention was not the servant's voice, but the young man in front of the servant.
"Alright, alright, go back and wait for news!"
The servant spoke to the young man impatiently and threw his visiting card on the table.
The young man with the sword on his back did not argue, but just turned and left.
The young man did not notice Tian Lin outside the crowd, so he did not notice Tian Lin's surprised and doubtful look.
The young man left quickly, and just as Tian Lin was about to follow him, the short elder slapped Tian Lin on the shoulder: "Good boy, why are you here too?"
Tian Lin was about to call him "Short Elder", but when he saw Shang Yu, he immediately shut up.
But when Tian Lin was about to follow Shang Yu, the short elder appeared again and interrupted Tian Lin's journey.
