Chapter 554: Changes in Ju Yunhai
Chapter 554: Changes in Ju Yunhai
In fact, Cui'er and her sister also knew about the restriction on teleportation quotas in the sect, but they knew that Tian Lin had no say in the matter, and they did not dare to hope that Tian Lin could earn enough tasks and finally take them away from here.
They didn't mention this matter, firstly to avoid adding to Tian Lin's troubles, and secondly for fear of making Tian Lin unhappy.
“If these noble families set this rule in order to reap ordinary people, then Star Picker probably had ulterior motives in ordering the outer sect members to be escorted into the secret realm.
But no matter what, if they dare to steal my credit, don’t blame me for fighting them to the death.”
This sounds tough, but in fact it is full of helplessness.
It must be known that Mei Xiangu only has one elder Mei to protect her. No matter how powerful Elder Mei is, how can he deal with all the elders of the Taoism Sect, and how can he compete with those big families?
So even though Mei Xiangu knew that she would have no way to stop others from stealing her credit in the future, she could only say a few harsh words.
Since the secret realm connecting to another world is now controlled by the Wending Sect, could she still bypass the Wending Sect and monopolize the channel to another world?
"It's too early for us to worry about these things now. What we should worry about is how to earn merit points next time."
After he finished speaking, Yu'er came over and said, "Master, Miss Zhou is here."
Tian Lin knew it was Zhou Mengjiao, and had some guesses in his mind. Tian Lin said to Yu'er, "Let Junior Sister Zhou come in."
Soon, Zhou Mengjiao came in with two cooks carrying food boxes.
"What a great thing you have done, brothers and sisters!"
Zhou Mengjiao entered the cave and began to praise: "Taiping Village is such a terrible place. It is said that even Nascent Soul cultivators who go there will die. But Brother and Sister are not only alive and well, but they also took control of this place for the sect in a blink of an eye—"
Mei Xiangu turned her head and snorted coldly. She really couldn't stand Zhou Mengjiao's flattery.
Tian Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He stood up and said, "Junior sister, what you said is shameful! If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhaixingzi's intervention, we would still be trapped in Taiping Village and don't know whether we would live or die. How could we be alive and well?"
While Yu'er was moving a seat for Zhou Mengjiao, Zhou Mengjiao had already asked the cook to prepare the food.
These dishes were all the ones Tian Lin ordered when he first joined the Taoist Sect.
Many of them were the meals that Zhou Mengjiao's brother had invited Tian Lin to eat.
Looking at these dishes, Tian Lin felt a sense of sadness: "If Senior Brother Zhou were still here, we would have a meal together, that would be really happy!"
After hearing this, Zhou Mengjiao burst into tears: "My brother was also unfortunate. He finally became an inner disciple, but he died after enjoying the treatment of an inner disciple for less than a month."
Among the crowd, Mei Xiangu had no feelings for Zhou Jin, and Tian Lin was actually just feeling sad for a moment about Zhou Jin's death.
Only Zhou Mengjiao used her brother's death as a means to maintain her relationship with Tian Lin.
"As far as I know, these dishes are not produced in the secret realm, nor are they produced in Cangzhou, right?"
Tian Lin suddenly pointed with chopsticks at something that looked like pearls and agate and spoke.
Zhou Mengjiao immediately explained, "This was brought from Nanzhou. It was presented to the sect by the people of the New Four Gods Sect when they came here. I know that you like delicious food, so I kept some when you cooked."
Tian Lin heard this and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister - but the people from the New Heaven Sect are coming so fast!" Zhou Mengjiao said, "Now, whether it is Cangzhou, Nanzhou or Xiangxi Sect, there are disciples coming to the secret realm. Senior brothers, you are focused on completing the mission, so you don't know the current situation of the sect - the population of the secret realm has increased by dozens of times compared to the past. I'm afraid that in a few months, more and more people will gather here."
Tian Lin said: "In this case, is there enough food in the secret realm?"
Zhou Mengjiao said: "After the people from the New Four Gods Cult came, they began to circle the people and put them into the farmland. Although there is not enough food now, it is not enough to make people starve to death."
Tian Lin nodded: "In this case, Senior Brother Zhaixingzi has done a great deed!"
Although Zhaixingzi did this for the purpose of practicing his great Dao, it is an indisputable fact that he saved countless lives at that time.
What Tian Lin is curious about now is how those who have benefited from Zhaixingzi will repay him in the future.
You know, no one can deny the path that Zhaixingzi has followed in his practice.
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhaixingzi has set up a big plan - now he has set up sect rules, everyone relies on merit points to eat and receive supplies. When we find a passage to another world in the future, we will need merit points to enter."
After hearing what Zhou Mengjiao said, Tian Lin guessed her intention: "Junior sister, do you also want to go on a mission with us?"
Zhou Mengjiao smiled when she heard that and said, "Junior sister, with my little ability, how can I hold you back? I just thought that you would be disappointed if you were always missing someone to help you on your mission. Although my husband is not very strong, he is also a late Jindan person. He can't do other things, but he can serve tea and water to you."
In the final analysis, she came here to ask Tian Lin and others to take her husband to complete the mission.
It’s a pity that although Tian Lin doesn’t mind letting her husband have a share, she still needs the consent of Mei Xiangu and others.
When Tian Lin looked at Mei Xiangu, Mei Xiangu thought about it and nodded, so Tian Lin also said: "Okay, Junior Sister, please invite Junior Brother Tan to come to my place and sit for a while in a few days."
At this time, Cui Er came in and said, "Master Ju wrote back, saying that he couldn't come because of something else, and asked you to find a friend to do the mission together."
The people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Mei Xiangu slammed the table and said, "I told you that the Ju family looked down on us, but you still delivered the letter to them with such a chuckle. Now you've been beaten back, haven't you?"
Tian Lin frowned and said, "Senior Brother Ju doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't remember the old friendship."
Mei Xiangu sneered, "It doesn't look like that either - can't you see that she doesn't want to come?"
Tian Lin was speechless, while Zhou Mengjiao thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Ju seems to really like to be alone when doing missions - as far as I know, he also acted alone on a mission last time."
Tian Lin asked her, "Brother Ju, do you have any unspeakable secrets that are why you don't want to do the mission with us?"
Zhou Mengjiao shook her head: "I haven't heard that he has any unspeakable secrets - but it is said that Senior Brother Ju's personality has changed a little from before. Not only does he not like to make friends, he even attacked Miss Tang."
When Zhou Mengjiao mentioned Miss Tang, Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu didn't react for a moment.
But soon, the two thought of Tang Chuchu.
Soon, Mei Xiangu questioned, "Ju Yunhai has always been a man who never fights back or curses at Tang Chuchu. It's even harder to believe that he attacked Tang Chuchu than to say that he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Zhou Mengjiao smiled bitterly and said, "Although it is indeed puzzling, the current Senior Brother Ju is indeed not the same Senior Brother Ju as before. Who in the sect doesn't know about his beating of Tang Chuchu?"
