I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 29: Turning Point, Change in Path (Please Follow)

The carriage approached from afar, and Tian Lin spotted the shop owner and the clerk who hadn’t shown their faces until now.

But neither the shopkeeper nor the clerk truly caught Tian Lin’s attention; rather, his focus was more on Da Liu beside the carriage.

Looking at Da Liu with his head down and heavy steps, Tian Lin spoke loudly: "Third brother, I am not surprised that you betrayed me. What I don’t understand is, don’t you realize that this will implicate our second brother too?"

The term ’third brother’ caused Da Liu’s steps to falter, and he let out a sigh of relief; when he raised his head again, his expression had relaxed significantly.

"What could I do? I asked eldest brother to find Manager Xu and figure out a way to add another ’servant disciple’ spot, but eldest brother was only thinking about himself and didn’t care about me at all."

After Da Liu finished speaking, Tian Lin interrupted: "It’s not that eldest brother didn’t want to help you. You tried asking Manager Xu for help yourself, didn’t you? Did Mr. Xu agree?"

Da Liu responded: "Then if brother was willing to give me the opportunity, why didn’t elder brother agree? Does my joining the immortal gate bother him?"

Tian Lin spoke solemnly: "Second brother is stronger than you, more talented than you. Even if it were up to Young Master Shang or Miss Xiaoyue to choose, you’d still have no chance. Eldest brother’s decision was right."

Da Liu laughed upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but say: "How do you know Young Master Shang and Miss Xiaoyue wouldn’t choose me if you’ve never tried? You’re just purposefully keeping me from joining the immortal gate, deliberately blocking my way. Whoever blocks my path, I will kill."

Tian Lin’s knife was still at Manager Xu’s throat, and he nodded over Manager Xu’s shoulder:

"That’s right, you blame us for blocking your way; I remember when we talked about not needing opportunities handed down by a brother, you said that many turn against each other over the chance for cultivation, and you didn’t believe people who would hand over their earned opportunity to their own brother."

Tian Lin said: "You don’t believe such people exist in this world, so for the sake of this opportunity, you would even harm your own elder brother."

Without waiting for Da Liu to speak, Tian Lin said to Young Master Shang: "I’ve guessed what surprise you had prepared for me, you can lift the carriage curtain now."

At this, the tavern keeper, upon receiving a signal from Young Master Shang, lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing Da Liu hidden in the carriage.

The once proud and vigorous man had now become a cripple.

His eyes were blind, tears mixed with blood running down his cheeks.

He tilted his head, his voice hoarse as he spoke: "What now, come to beat me again? I’ll tell you, I know nothing, I don’t wish to say anything."

Looking at the man covered in filth, limbs missing, Tian Lin could scarcely believe that this was the man who once affectionately called him ’fourth brother’ and had protected him multiple times in front of the supervisors.

Young Master Shang, not waiting for Tian Lin to shed tears, smiled: "Remember the wooden cabin upstairs? If not for your second brother, many things stored there would have rusted by now."

He continued smiling: "We two seem to have fate, I gave you a cripple, never thought you would return the favor."

"Fine, I’ll return this cripple back to you, and you return my second brother to me!"

Tian Lin took a deep breath, looking back at Young Master Shang.

But Young Master Shang shook his head, saying: "You should ask Xiaoyue about that, Manager Xu isn’t my father, I’m not obliged to care for his life or death."

Tian Lin’s gaze turned towards Xiaoyue, only to hear the young lady coldly say: "People disloyal to Young Master Shang, to the merchant family, I absolutely cannot let them go."

Tian Lin’s frown deepened, the blade on Manager Xu’s neck cut slightly deeper.

The excessively bleeding Manager Xu felt no more pain by now, merely lying motionless in Tian Lin’s arms with his head tilted.

"If you don’t release him, I will truly kill your father."

"Since ancient times, it’s been hard to fulfill both loyalty and filial piety, kill him, and then I will avenge him later."

After Xiaoyue spoke, she suddenly flicked a whip, which wrapped around Da Liu inside the carriage, as Da Liu yelled:

"Come on, kill me! We in the worldly society lived as Huahua Langs, always living for today without a tomorrow; I’m afraid of nothing, only feeling sorry for elder brother and fourth brother."

Not only was he blinded, his ears also punctured, so he was unaware of his surroundings or who was nearby.

Tian Lin called out ’second brother’, but with a ’bang’, Da Liu’s body fell to the ground, split in half.

He ’puked’ out blood, which splattered right onto Da Liu’s face.

Da Liu, with eyes wide, looked at his brother’s body, stepping back in horror, his entire body slumped against the exterior of the carriage.

"Good!"

Tian Lin no longer wasted words, and with one swift motion, he slit Manager Xu’s throat, throwing his body to the ground.

He held the knife in his hands and pounced toward Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue, fearless, advanced and wrapped the tip of her whip around Tian Lin’s incoming blade.

With a pull and a flick, Tian Lin, along with his knife, tripped and fell to the ground.

A grandmaster-level expert was completely beyond what Tian Lin could handle.

"Hold on!"

Just as Xiaoyue was about to step on Tian Lin’s head and crush it, the young merchant suddenly spoke up.

Xiaoyue paused, halting her descending right foot from crushing Tian Lin’s head.

At that moment, the young merchant walked over to Tian Lin, squatted down, and said, "So young and already a first-rate expert. Your talent is quite impressive, isn’t it?"

Tian Lin, staring at the young merchant, didn’t speak but slowly propped himself up.

"I think you are more suitable to join Yao Yue Sect with me than the Liu brothers. What do you think?"

As these words were spoken, Xiaoliu, who was leaning against the carriage, stood up and exclaimed, "Young Master, you promised to let me enter the immortal gate."

Xiaoyue’s whip responded to him; with a ’snap’, Xiaoliu had to catch his own falling head with his hands before falling next to his brother.

"The young master is asking you a question; now it’s your turn to answer."

Xiaoyue killed Xiaoliu, yet her gaze remained fixed on Tian Lin.

It seemed that if Tian Lin dared to say no, he would follow in Xiaoliu’s footsteps.

"Don’t scare him. I still need him to do tasks for me in the sect in the future."

The young merchant mildly scolded Xiaoyue, and then he smiled amiably at Tian Lin:

"How about it? Aren’t you seeking immortal techniques? I’ll teach you immortal techniques and take you into the immortal gate as a servant disciple."

Tian Lin frowned and glanced at the young merchant, then at Xiaoyue.

The young merchant said, "You want to kill Xiaoyue to avenge your elder brother? I won’t stop you as long as you enter the immortal gate with me."

"Yes!"

Tian Lin did not want to die nor give up the chance to enter the immortal gate, nor the opportunity to acquire the ways of immortality.

There were too many people he wanted to kill now; he wanted to kill Xiaoliu, but Xiaoliu was already dead.

He wanted to kill Xiaoyue, but he was no match for her now.

He also wanted to kill the young merchant, but with his current strength, that seemed far off.

He wished to never experience a scenario like today again, relying on others’ disdain to earn a chance to live.

He wanted to cultivate, to become stronger!

"Good, since you want to enter the immortal gate, and you want to learn immortal techniques, take this elixir. Once you consume it, I will trust you as I trusted Manager Xu."

The young merchant pulled out a vermilion-colored small pill from his waist pouch. The pill seemed ordinary but emitted a strange fragrance.

"Is this poison?"

"No, this is called ’Heartache Gu,’ a medicine ensuring your loyalty to me. I will give you the antidote every month; as long as you behave, it will never poison you."

Tian Lin took the pill after hearing this, seeing the description showing [Low-quality Body Refining Pill; due to inadequate control of fire during preparation, the medicinal effect of the elixir was massively wasted. However, after consumption, it can still help Qi Cultivation practitioners to wash the marrow and toughen the bones, and it is edible]

Tian Lin had only taken ’Defective Qi Blood Pills’ before, although also used for toughening the bones through Body Refinement, defective Qi Blood Pills had no real medicinal effect.

Obviously, the Body Refining Pill given by the young merchant was of low quality, but it was still not defective, thus particularly precious.

This was an elixir consumed by Qi Cultivation practitioners, something money couldn’t buy.
