Chapter 423: Diverting trouble to the east
Chapter 423: Diverting trouble to the east
"Master, are we really going to give up the opportunity of Yundinggong?"
Cui'er looked at Tian Lin, somewhat unwillingly.
Tian Lin smiled and said, "That thing was never ours in the first place, so how can we talk about giving it away?"
Yu'er, who came in from outside, also said with a smile: "Master is now a true disciple of the Dao Sect and a powerful golden elixir master. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? There is no need to ask for opportunities that require risking one's life to obtain.
Besides, the master is still very young. As long as he practices diligently, with the status of a true disciple of the Taoist sect, is there any fear of not having resources? It is not long before he can enter the Nascent Soul stage in the future."
She said that Tian Lin could become a Nascent Soul expert even when lying down, which was more of a blessing.
Whether it is the Wendao Sect or other sects, no true disciple dares to say that he can definitely become a Nascent Soul powerhouse.
But Cui'er also knew that with Tian Lin's current status, there was really no need to fight so hard.
Besides, she was also frightened by the incident of Chen Xiantang and Tian Lin entering Tianmen.
Compared to obtaining the great way, it is obviously more pleasing to them that the 'master' is alive.
Therefore, Cui'er stopped persuading her.
Yu'er was afraid that Cui'er would talk too much, so she called Cui'er and said, "Come with me to the kitchen to prepare today's meal. The villagers will help us later, and we can't let them go hungry."
After Yu'er and Cui'er left, it seemed that Tian Lin was the only one left in the room.
But Tian Lin looked towards the corner of the room and said softly, "Brother Tan, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Why don't you show up and have a drink?"
Tan Youqi came out from the corner, took off his cloak, looked at Tian Lin curiously and said:
"Although the Taoist weapon in Tan's hand is not a killing treasure, it has a very strong effect of hiding one's body. No one below the Nascent Soul stage has ever seen through my whereabouts. So how did Junior Brother Tian discover my invisibility method?"
Tian Lin didn't plan to tell others about eating the True Eye Fruit. He just pointed at the place where Tan Youqi had been hiding before and said, "Brother, your invisibility is just a trick to deceive people, but tricks don't make people disappear out of thin air. As long as you still have a physical form, you will definitely leave traces."
Where he pointed, there were some tiny footprints.
Tan Youqi's face was moved. He looked at Tian Lin and said:
"With my level of cultivation, it's difficult to leave footprints even when walking on the snow, not to mention the tiny dust that is invisible to the naked eye. But Junior Brother Tian, you are indeed very observant and you were able to find my whereabouts."
He then raised another question: "Junior Brother Tian can determine my whereabouts based on the dust, but how can he determine my identity based on my whereabouts? It can't be that he can determine my identity based on the size of the shoe prints, right?"
Faced with doubts, Tian Lin remained calm: "Before, I was talking about the shape, now I am talking about the taste - Senior brother, you may not know that I have a secret method to judge the identity of the visitor by smell."
Tan Youqi's face turned red and he confessed that he hadn't taken a bath in many years.
But then again, with his level of cultivation, he has already achieved being spotless, and it is even more impossible for him to have any strong strange smell due to not taking a shower.
However, there is a difference between having little smell and having no smell. After all, everything in the world, even stone, has its own unique smell, let alone a living person?
"Junior brother's skills are truly amazing."
Tan Youqi didn't plan to ask any more questions. If he continued asking, it would seem like he was questioning whether Tian Lin was lying.
He explained: "Tan went into hiding not because he intended to eavesdrop on the conversation between Junior Brother and Mei Xiangu, but because I was following Elder Qiu and happened to be here. But at that time, Elder Qiu and Mei Xiangu had a fight, so I couldn't show up at this time-"
Did Tian Lin believe his nonsense?
You know, Elder Qiu had been gone for a long time, so if Tan Youqi really didn't want to eavesdrop on his conversation with Mei Xiangu, he could have shown up earlier. However, Tian Lin did not expose Tan Youqi's lie, because after Tan Youqi finished speaking, he heard Elder Qiu's angry voice outside the house:
"I was wondering why I felt like someone was watching me the whole time. It turns out it was you, Tan Youqi, who did this!"
Tan Youqi's face turned green in the room. He never expected that Elder Qiu would come back.
Elder Qiu, with a dark face, walked into the shabby house with a group of people. She pointed at Tan Youqi's nose and cursed, "Tan, tell me, what the hell are you doing by following me?"
Tan Youqi quickly explained: "Actually, I followed Shang Yu and happened to meet you brothers and sisters fighting with him."
"You two are indeed in cahoots with Shangyu."
Elder Qiu suddenly pointed the finger at Tian Lin and asked him, "Mr. Tian, where is Shangyu now?"
Tian Lin frowned and said, "Didn't you brothers go to hunt down Shang Yu? I think you should know where Shang Yu went better than me."
Tian Lin did not recognize the people who entered the room with Elder Qiu, but judging from the tattoos on the two men, it was not difficult to recognize that they were both from the Beast Taming Sect.
At this time, one of the men stood up and said, "You already knew that he was Shang Yu, right?"
Tian Lin did not deny it, and said: "It seems that the two Taoists have fought with Shang Yu? Then let's clear the two of them and explain to Elder Que Qiu where Shang Yu is now."
The two men were confused. They chased Shang Yu, but were killed by Shang Yu instead.
Not only did two junior sisters die, but the war pet under his command was also killed by Shang Yu.
Logically, Shang Yu could have killed them, but for some reason, Shang Yu spared them.
"Shang Yu said before he left that if you want revenge, go find him and don't let him get you involved - this shows how deep your brotherly love is with him."
Tian Lin was so angry at what the Beast Tamer said that he laughed:
"Shang is obviously trying to divert the blame. Since you have a grudge against him, you should know that his words cannot be trusted. Moreover, even if they are not your enemies, why would you trust the words of an outsider to deal with your fellow disciples in the Immortal Sect?"
The two Beast Taming Sect disciples were stunned. They looked at each other and said to Elder Qiu, "Tian Lin's words make a lot of sense. If Shang Yu really had colluded with Tian Lin, why would he tell us so openly? So, it's most likely that Shang Yu was cheating."
“So this is the brilliance of Goodwill!”
Elder Qiu said, "Have you two Taoist friends never heard of doing the opposite? Everyone knows that true friends will never betray their friends - so Shang Yu did the opposite, just to make everyone think that Tian Lin was wronged."
The two Beast Taming Sect disciples looked at each other, clearly confused.
They looked at Tian Lin again and asked him, "What Elder Qiu said makes sense. Tian Lin, do you have anything else to explain now?"
Tian Lin's face turned black. Tan Youqi stood up and said to the two Beast Taming Sect disciples, "Whether Junior Brother Tian was colluding with Shang Yu or not, this matter can be investigated by the sect later. The most urgent thing is that the two fellow Beast Taming Sect members should go back and ask the elders of the Beast Taming Sect to take action and arrest Shang Yu."
It would have been better if he didn't speak, but when he spoke he attracted the attention of Elder Qiu.
