I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 41 - 37 Xiaoyue Makes Another Visit (Please Follow)

The first to speak was an old man, seated cross-legged on the left, clad in a green robe with a three-foot beard swaying in the wind, looking like a high Daoist ascetic.

But Tian Lin knew that this old man was probably a Grandmaster, yet he hadn’t managed to cultivate True Qi.

"Little brother, you should stop at the eighty-second level. Above that is the domain where only those with Grandmaster Cultivation can tread. I advise you to wait until you’ve reached the Grandmaster Level before attempting to ascend the mountain."

Next to the old man sat a plump woman.

She wore an apron and looked like a cook.

"Haha, I knew Brother Tian was no ordinary man. How long has it been? You’ve climbed from the sixties to level eighty-two. It seems I underestimated your cultivation before."

The young man in white clothing, Bai Ye, was also present, and next to him was Han Li.

Han Li nodded at Tian Lin and pointed to the hundredth step in front of them, saying, "That’s the first platform. So many servant disciples can only long for it, never able to enter."

Tian Lin followed Han Li’s gaze, looking at the platform under the night sky.

The bright moonlight cast the platform in a pale glow, and on it, there was only a table.

From below, one couldn’t see what was on the table. It just seemed that, though the table appeared ordinary, it exuded an ancient and timeless aura.

"Ladies and gentlemen, continue with your cultivation. Han must take his leave now."

After expressing his feelings, Han Li slowly descended the steps with Tian Lin.

When they reached the gate of the mountain, Han Li looked closely at Tian Lin, and after a long while, he couldn’t help but say, "You said you wanted to kill Xiao Yue. Until yesterday, I thought it was a joke. But today, seeing you on the eighty-third level, I’m somewhat convinced."

Tian Lin didn’t hide his intention, saying, "Perhaps my martial arts talent is indeed extraordinary, coupled with daily medicinal supplements, hence my rapid progress in cultivation."

After a pause, Tian Lin continued, "I expect that in no more than two days, I should be able to reach the Grandmaster Level."

Hearing this, Han Li frowned and asked, "Did Xiao Yue really let you kill me?"

Tian Lin nodded, and Han Li said, "I have no grudge against her, nor do I have one with Young Master Shang. Why would she want to kill me? If it’s for profit, both Young Master Shang and I are under the Third Manager. Our interests should be aligned — so, Brother Tian, might you have misunderstood Miss Xiao Yue’s intentions?"

Tian Lin replied candidly, "Brother Han is a man of the Third Manager, but is Young Master Shang truly a man of the Third Manager? I don’t mean to sow discord between Young Master Shang and the Third Manager, but one cannot see into another’s heart. Perhaps after I’ve killed Xiao Yue, Brother Han, you can ask the Third Manager about it."

When he said he didn’t want to sow discord between Young Master Shang and the Third Manager, that’s precisely what he was trying to do.

He just hoped that for now, he wouldn’t spook the quarry, deciding to see how things would unfold after killing Xiao Yue.

As Han Li furrowed his brows, Tian Lin changed the subject with a smile, "Maybe by tomorrow I’ll have reached the Grandmaster Realm. By then, I’d like to ask Brother Han to spar and teach me a few moves."

Han Li came back to reality, forcing a smile and nodding, "If you can defeat me, then you’ll certainly have a chance against Xiao Yue."

Tian Lin indeed didn’t dare to act rashly against Xiao Yue; he didn’t know the exact gap between their strengths.

But according to Han Li, Xiao Yue was no match for him.

And if Tian Lin could defeat Han Li, then he’d be confident when confronting Xiao Yue.

Only then did they descend from the mountain path, and it was at this moment that Han Li pulled out the meat that Tian Lin had given him the day before and handed it back to Tian Lin:

"Second Mum said that this is either an Eagle Swallow or a Ghost Head Swallow, always a favorite catch for the kitchen at Sword Peak."

Tian Lin then asked Han Li, "Do you know how expensive these birds are, and does our kitchen sell them?"

"They’re not pricey, but there aren’t many who fancy eating them in our kitchen, so they’re not for sale. If you really want to try the flavor, how about I have Second Mum bring you a portion from Sword Peak’s kitchen tomorrow?"

Tian Lin immediately thanked him with a bow, and after returning to the mining school, they went their separate ways.

But before Tian Lin could return to his room, a man with cloth wrapping his head came over.

The man removed the tobacco pipe from his mouth and said to Tian Lin, "Surname Tian, Miss Xiao Yue just came looking for you. She asked me to relay a message, telling you to wait for her in your room tomorrow."

Tian Lin was momentarily startled and asked the man, "Did she not say when she would come tomorrow?"

The man only chuckled without replying, and Tian Lin frowned at him. Then, after thinking for a bit, he smiled and said, "I understand it’s my fault that Brother got whipped, and if Brother holds any grievances, I’m here to offer my apologies."

"Forget it, I can’t afford to climb high with a brother like you."

Watching the man walk away, Tian Lin said, "Alright then, could Brother inform her tomorrow to look for me at Dao Seeking Mountain?"

The man stopped at the doorway, turned his head in bewilderment, and asked Tian Lin, "You’re not waiting for Miss Xiao Yue?"

"It was she who looked for me, not the other way around. Why would I wait for her?"

The man saw Tian Lin about to close the door and hurriedly grabbed the door to stop him: "If you don’t wait for her, how can I explain myself to her? If she takes her anger out on me, what do you want me to do?"

Tian Lin countered, "Brother, what are you afraid of? The bad luck she’s bringing me can’t possibly spill over to give you a whipping, can it?"

The man subconsciously touched his own face upon hearing the word ’whipping’.

His face was wrapped in cloth, but even through the bandage, he could feel the ’ravines’ on his face.

"Brother, she’ll be looking for you tomorrow morning. You must wait for her. It won’t take much time."

Tian Lin didn’t reply and slammed the door shut.

"It can’t be that she’s hurrying me to kill Han Li, can it? It’s only been a few days."

Tian Lin was untying his knife and placing his food container on the table.

The next morning, with the striking of the Dao Bell, a group of people charged toward the river.

As Tian Lin opened the door, he was surprised to see Zhao Si standing at his doorway.

"Zhao Brother, have you been standing at my door all night?"

Zhao Si blocked Tian Lin’s path with a fierce look and said, "You can’t leave today no matter what. You have to wait here with me until Miss Xiao Yue comes."

"Weren’t you injured? Aren’t you tired from standing all night?"

After Tian Lin asked, Zhao Si replied, "What does a single night matter? As long as it stops you from running away, staying up all night is worth it."

Tian Lin was at a loss for words; he never intended to run away.

Seeing that Zhao Si stubbornly blocked the way and refused to let him leave, Tian Lin simply gave up.

With his current strength, he was no match for Zhao Si, who had not reached the Grandmaster Realm.

He sat cross-legged in his room, meditating. It didn’t take long before there was the crack of a whip, followed by Zhao Si’s screams echoing in the bamboo corridor.

Tian Lin got up, glaring at Xiao Yue, "For no reason at all, why did you hit someone?"

Xiao Yue sneered, "Did you think that having a helper would intimidate me?"

Zhao Si was rolling on the ground, wailing, "Miss Xiao Yue, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not his helper."

Xiao Yue frowned, realizing she might have made a mistake, but how could she admit it?

Coldly, she said to Zhao Si on the ground, "Still, you shouldn’t have blocked my way!"

Zhao Si didn’t speak, and Tian Lin opened his mouth to say, "Alright, you don’t need to use him as a scapegoat to show me who’s boss. Now tell me, what do you want?"

After scolding Zhao Si away, Xiao Yue then looked at Tian Lin coldly, "You asked why we should kill Han Li, didn’t you? I’ve asked for you; the young master says Han Li is Third Manager’s man, so killing him will please Second Steward.

After you kill Han Li, with a little more effort, he can make you a Supervisor of the mining school. Then, taking the Water Spirit Ore from the mining school to serve the Second Steward, you can try to become his confidant."

Tian Lin was silent for a while, then said, "The young master wants me to become the Second Steward’s confidant, what’s he plotting?"

Xiao Yue replied, "That’s not for you to inquire about—I’ve told you what you wanted to know. Now it’s your turn to tell me, how much longer will it take you to kill Han Li?"

Tian Lin touched his stomach and thought for a moment, "Although my talent is decent, the Silver that Young Master Shang provided is not enough for me to buy more medicinal meals—"

"You dare to take this opportunity to demand more benefits?"

Xiao Yue’s brows furrowed fiercely, and her hand already reached for the whip at her waist.

Tian Lin retorted, "Even you are not sure you can deal with Han Li; how are you expecting me to kill him without the aid of medicinal meals? Even if I resort to scheming and plotting, that seems unlikely, right?"

Before Xiao Yue could speak, he continued, "If you are willing to give me two hundred Silver, perhaps I could kill him in seven days."

Xiao Yue’s expression changed uncertainly, but in the end, she said, "I only have one hundred eighty Silver. I’ll give it to you tomorrow. But in seven days, I want to see Han Li’s head on a spike!"

As she was about to leave, Tian Lin quickly added, "Since I joined the sect, the knife I carry is still one from the mine. The dagger, it’s only somewhat better than a regular iron tool. If I could have a good knife, it would certainly help me do the young master’s bidding more effectively."

Xiao Yue paused her steps and finally said, "Fine, in seven days, I’ll come to deliver the knife to you!"

After she left, they could hear Zhao Si next door cursing, "That Tian! We are at irreconcilable odds!"
