Chapter 424 Another explanation
"Mr. Tan, you defended Tian Lin. It seems that you are also Shang Yu's accomplice."
Tan Youqi was not willing to tolerate Elder Qiu, and he scolded, "I'm sorry for what you did. You just wanted to take the blame on me and Tian Lin because too many of our disciples died or were injured, and you were afraid that the Goddess Sect would punish you."
Tan Youqi turned around and looked at the two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and said, "What are you afraid of, two junior brothers? The order to hunt down Shang Yu was given by Qiu. When you return to the sect, just report it truthfully to the sect. I think the elders of Xiangxi Sect will naturally have a fair opinion.
If necessary, Tian Lin and I can testify for you."
In other words, Tan Youqi was willing to pass the blame to the two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
Just like Elder Qiu, Tan Youqi’s way of shifting the blame is to find someone to take the blame.
Elder Qiu wanted Tian Lin and Tan Youqi to take the blame, while Tan Youqi wanted Elder Qiu to take the blame.
Tian Lin was amused by the two men's behavior of blaming each other, so he simply said, "If the elders of the Beast Taming Sect ask, you can say that I let Shang Yu run away; if you want to cause trouble, let the elders of the Beast Taming Sect cause trouble for me, Tian Lin."
It would have been fine if Tian Lin hadn't said this, but after he said this, the two disciples of the Beast Taming Sect believed that Tian Lin and Shang Yu had no connection.
Before the two of them spoke, Elder Qiu couldn't wait to say, "Okay, you admitted it yourself, don't deny it later."
Tian Lin sneered in his heart!
The elders of the major sects are not idiots, so why would they believe everything their subordinates say?
All in all, the elders of each sect will personally investigate when the time comes.
The more nonsense Elder Qiu talks, the more dissatisfied the elders will be with her when they find out the truth. At that time, Elder Qiu, who lied, will only suffer the consequences.
"Well, now I am responsible for this bad debt. If you have nothing to do, please leave here and don't delay Tian from repairing the house."
Elder Qiu and the two Beast Taming Sect disciples exchanged glances, then Elder Qiu snorted coldly and left first.
The two Beast Taming Sect disciples were quite polite and bowed to Tian Lin before saying goodbye.
The group of people were so tense that the villagers who came to help repair the house did not dare to come in.
Now that Elder Qiu had taken his men away, the villagers swarmed in.
"Master Tian, have you gotten into any trouble?"
Although Tian Lin is a Jindan cultivator like Elder Qiu and others, it is obvious that these villagers are afraid of Elder Qiu and others, but not Tian Lin.
And Tian Lin treated these villagers more politely than he treated Elder Qiu and others.
"These are just minor matters. My dear neighbors, don't worry about me."
Tian Lin said to Cui'er and Yu'er, "Hurry up and serve some tea. Let everyone rest before we get back to work."
Many villagers came, and most of them were young and strong.
These people said one after another: "Now everyone is not tired, let's have tea and rest after we finish our work."
The group of people were having a great time, and no one paid attention to Tan Youqi sitting next to them.
Tan Youqi knew that Tian Lin was dissatisfied with him, but he did not rush to explain. Instead, he helped the villagers with the work in Tian Lin's house and then ate with them.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Tian Lin sent the villagers away before he spoke: "Don't be upset, Junior Brother Tian. I really shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation with Mei Xiangu. Whether it's beating or scolding, just do it. I won't get angry."
In fact, things have already happened, and Tian Lin has no need to make enemies with Tan Youqi again.
But it is impossible for him to forgive others just because they don't apologize.
So after hearing Tan Youqi admit his fault, Tian Lin jokingly said, "Why don't you say it's a coincidence now?" Tan Youqi chuckled, and Tian Lin asked him directly, "Tell me, why did you come to Beiye County?"
Tan Youqi's face turned serious and he stopped joking.
He looked at Tian Lin and said, "Many inner disciples and true disciples from Shuiyun Sect, Xiangxi Sect, Yushou Sect, and Shennu Sect have come to Beiye County. Everyone has the same goal, which is to get the burial objects of Lord Yunding."
Tan Youqi looked at Tian Lin and said, "Junior Brother Tian, you and Lord Yunding are sworn brothers. It can be said that no one can inherit Lord Yunding's legacy more legitimately than you."
His expression looked sincere, but Tian Lin knew that Tan Youqi was lying.
"Brother Tan, don't lie to me! I said I won't compete with you for the tomb of Lord Yunding, and I will never break my promise. Besides, what about sworn brothers? That's all about the Tianmen world. The Lord Yunding of this world and I have no connection."
Tan Youqi stared at Tian Lin and asked, "Junior Brother Tian, are you really not going to explore the tomb?"
Seeing Tian Lin shaking his head again, he sighed hypocritically, as if he felt sorry for Tian Lin: "Brother Tian, it's such a pity that you have to miss such a good opportunity."
Cui Er, who was standing by, also followed Tan Youqi in persuading Tian Lin: "Master, first Miss Mei and now Master Tan are persuading you. In my opinion, the avenue of Yundinggong really belongs to you."
Cui Er's words made Tan Youqi's mouth twitch——
Mei Xiangu advised Tian Lin sincerely.
After all, she and Tian Lin are destined to be in the same boat, and it would be good for her if Tian Lin became stronger.
But what about Tan Youqi? He was just talking nonsense, but how could he know that Cui'er took his words seriously?
"That's right, Junior Brother Tian, you can try your luck in the tomb. Who knows if it will work?"
Tian Lin frowned slightly and seemed to hesitate.
Just when Tan Youqi was about to get so upset, Tian Lin finally stopped teasing him and said, "Forget it! My life is pretty good now. I can enjoy the flowers and the moon when I have free time. Why would I risk my life in a tomb?"
Tan Youqi stopped trying to persuade Tian Lin at this time. He finally decided not to beat around the bush and asked Tian Lin:
"Since Junior Brother Tian has no intention of going on an expedition, why not help me out?"
Without waiting for Tan Youqi to speak, Tian Lin frowned and said, "Brother, you don't want me to help you seize the avenue of Yundinggong, do you?"
At this time, Cui'er and Yu'er were also looking at Tan Youqi with questioning eyes.
Even though Tan Youqi was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.
He explained: "After all, Junior Brother Tian is familiar with Yunding Gong, and probably knows some of Yunding Gong's secrets. I think if Junior Brother Tian gives me some advice, I might be able to avoid a lot of detours after entering the tomb."
Tian Lin said, "If we want to know the information about the tomb, shouldn't we find the gravekeeper? I heard that the Xiangxi Sect has captured the gravekeeper. If we can find the gravekeeper, wouldn't the information he gives us be more reliable than what I say?"
"The gravekeeper was captured by the Xiangxi Sect. How could the Xiangxi Sect share the information they got from the gravekeeper with us?"
"I think you are so obsessed with finding the great way that you have lost your mind! If you can't find the gravekeeper, it's no use looking for me.
Not to mention that the Langguan in Tianmen and the Yundinggong in this world are not the same person! Even if they are the same person, how can you, Senior Brother, obtain the inheritance with just my instruction? "
Tan Youqi said: "It seems that I can only make plans with my fellow apprentices from Xiangxi Sect."
