I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 44 - 40 The Position of the Supervisor

"Was it done by the Second Steward?"

Tian Lin knew that there were four Managers on the mountain, but the one who had the most hostility towards the Third Manager was the Second Steward.

Indeed, he saw Han Li nod his head.

As he walked ahead, he spoke to Tian Lin:

"Second Steward has a fiery temper, and beating up people is a common occurrence. Fortunately, I help the Third Manager in managing the Water Spirit Ore, so the Third Manager still protects me."

Tian Lin responded: "It’s because you help the Third Manager manage the Water Spirit Ore that the Second Steward dislikes you."

How could Han Li not know this?

He smiled and said, "As a Supervisor, I can earn ten more silver monthly. It’s worth taking a beating. Let’s not talk about this anymore."

He didn’t want to continue discussing it, but Tian Lin insisted:

"Han Li, a Grandmaster like you, why care about a Supervisor’s position? In my opinion, it’s better to let me have it."

"You take over?"

Han Li stopped walking and looked sternly at Tian Lin: "Are you trying to take my position?"

"If Han Li is reluctant to let go of the Supervisor’s monthly salary of ten silver, I can cover that for you."

Hearing Tian Lin’s words, Han Li laughed, but half of his swollen face made his smile appear particularly ferocious.

"Although I live frugally, if I need money, given my status as a Supervisor, do I need to queue up every day with those servant disciples for work?"

He said to Tian Lin: "I know your passion for Seeking Immortality is stronger than others, thinking becoming the mining school’s Supervisor will make you the confidante of the Third Manager. But let me tell you, the mining school’s Supervisor is never the confidante of the Third Manager, but someone to take the blame for him."

"When I become the Supervisor, I’ll switch allegiance to the Second Steward."

After Tian Lin finished, Han Li sneered: "The mining school is managed by the Third Manager, you work under the Third Manager for the Second Steward? I’m afraid you won’t even last a year before you meet an ugly death."

"Then, does serving under the Third Manager ensure a good life for you, Han Li?"

Tian Lin caught up with Han Li’s pace and said from behind:

"This is actually an opportunity, an opportunity for you, Han Li, to disengage yourself. You give me the position, and when Lianshui Peak does an audit in the future, any deficiency in the Water Spirit Ore can be blamed on me."

"This is something I don’t need your help with. Wait until you can defeat me then we’ll talk!"

The two soon arrived at the temporarily setup Ghost Market, and nobody brought up the topic of Han Li stepping down again.

Looking at the bustling merchants in the valley, a smile appeared on Han Li’s face.

Pointing towards the temporary stalls and some wooden buildings in the valley, he spoke to Tian Lin:

"These temporary shops open once every six months, and those small families affiliated with the Yao Yue Sect come here to sell goods. The merchant family you previously served is one of them."

Following behind Han Li, Tian Lin’s gaze rested briefly on some wooden cabins.

Indeed, he soon found a wooden cabin with the merchant family’s plaque hanging.

Before the cabin were displayed spices, rouge, and even black sandstone.

Around the entrance of the merchant family, besides female servant disciples, there were also some that weighed black sandstone.

"Would Outer Disciples also come to the Ghost Market?"

Tian Lin’s gaze swept over a woman in green as he listened to Han Li:

"The Yao Yue Sect opens the market not only to facilitate ordinary servant disciples exchanging their work for clothing and daily necessities but also to help Outer Disciples buy things not available within the sect."

"Don’t underestimate the people trading at the Ghost Market; although most are ordinary people, their ancestors were often former Outer Disciples of the Yao Yue Sect practicing Qi Cultivation.

Due to having ancestors who practiced Qi Cultivation, they can gather some rare and exotic treasures. And these rare and exotic treasures are needed by Outer Disciples who can’t leave the sect freely."

After he finished speaking, he followed the woman in green towards a small teahouse.

He saw the woman in green enter the small teahouse, while Han Li stopped by the counter inside and asked the attendant: "Young man, is the Zhao family’s Horse Gang going through Quzhou to Tonghe County this year?"

The attendant behind the counter looked up at Han Li and couldn’t help but laugh: "So it’s Brother Han, it’s been half a year, yet Brother Han’s charisma remains the same."

Tian Lin felt that these words were utterly pointless, even sensing that the speaker was mocking Han Li.

Because the swelling on Han Li’s face was too apparent, anyone with clear eyes could see that Han Li had been beaten.

What is meant by "still looking as graceful as ever"?

"I’m really sorry, ever since the Blood Sect disturbances started the year before last in Quzhou, our Horse Gang hasn’t had business in that area, so it’s impossible for us to go."

After the clerk finished speaking, Han Li anxiously asked, "Do you know if anyone here at the Ghost Market is heading to Quzhou?"

The clerk said proudly, "Not to brag, but around the Yao Yue Sect, the biggest Horse Gang is ours, the Zhao family. If a place is too dangerous for my Zhao family’s Horse Gang, then no one else dares to go there. So, Brother Han, let go of this notion—

I’ll be blunt, and you don’t need to keep sending money back home anymore. From what I see, Quzhou is already under the control of the Blood Sect, and your sister-in-law’s situation is mostly bleak. The Silver you send back might not even be of any use to her."

Han Li’s facial expression changed, and Tian Lin stepped ahead of Han Li in angrily confronting the clerk:

"If you know that your words are unpleasant when running a business, why bother saying them and disgust others?"

Fearlessly facing the two men, the clerk was about to speak when a middle-aged man’s voice rang from the staircase:

"Xiao Wu, I didn’t bring you out to cause trouble for our family, apologize to these two Immortal Masters right now!"

Before Xiao Wu could apologize, Han Li interjected first, "It’s my impatience that’s at fault, I should be the one apologizing."

Following that, Xiao Wu bowed his head, and without apologizing or uttering any sarcastic remarks.

At this moment, the middle-aged man coming down the stairs spoke to the woman in green beside him, "The servant doesn’t know any better, excuse us, Miss Han."

The woman in green gave Tian Lin and Han Li a quick glance, obviously recognizing the frequent visitors to Dao Seeking Mountain.

However, she didn’t have any relations with them, so after that brief glance, she didn’t speak but just told the middle-aged man:

"Brother Zhao, I entrust you with looking out for an elixir that treats ’Hysteria’ for me."

As the woman in green left the teahouse, Tian Lin and Han Li also naturally left.

Hearing Han Li joking bitterly, "It’s all my fault, making you offend others for no good reason."

Tian Lin replied, "It’s nothing much, their Zhao family’s Horse Gang comes to the Ghost Market only every half year, and I only come here every half year as well; it’s rare for us to run into each other."

Han Li then said, "I originally brought you here for a stroll, but we’ve ended up getting delayed twice because of my matters. So, tell me what you want to buy, and I’ll take you there."

What could Tian Lin buy?

He wasn’t interested in clothes, just items that could supplement ’Wood Spiritual Qi’ and ’Earth Spiritual Qi’.

After a round of browsing, he only encountered items that could supplement ’Water Spiritual Qi’ and ’Golden Spiritual Qi,’ but found nothing for Wood Spiritual Qi and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Disappointed, Tian Lin was about to leave the marketplace packed with numerous items as the sun set.

Many servant disciples were reluctant to leave.

They walked down from several wooden buildings, where numerous women in bright clothes were waving handkerchiefs.

On the second floor, Tian Lin saw a woman playing the guqin, and, led by another woman, they softly began to sing:

"The sister washes clothes by the river, the water flows east, to meet my lover; the lover left home to Seek Immortality, it’s been over a decade, but does he still remember Huahua Lang—"

Tian Lin had heard this song before; it was sung by a waitress at the tavern they visited when Zhang Lao Da took him to murder Manager Xu at the mining site.

Tian Lin had asked her to wait for Manager Xu on the official road, and he didn’t know if she gave up waiting for Manager Xu and returned to that small tavern.

"These Huahua Lang women, leaving home to search for their husbands, end up for survival being deceived or willingly attaching themselves to a brothel keeper, selling themselves everywhere in search of their husbands."

Han Li said, "But just like Huahua Lang seeking Immortality, how many actually succeed? And for them to find their husbands is even harder than Huahua Lang’s quest for Immortality. Thus, many eventually die unclear deaths on the streets, old and faded."

Han Li spoke tragically, but Tian Lin no longer felt the sorrow for humanity.

What he felt was the cruelty of Seeking Immortality, and that strengthened his resolve to pursue it.

"Brother Han, let’s go back and rest for today, and we can come out again tomorrow."

Han Li, having come from the Zhao family’s shop, remained dispirited and distracted all the way, with no mood to ascend Dao Seeking Mountain today.

After returning, Tian Lin carried food boxes and some items to Dao Seeking Mountain.

He believed that with the items he had picked up at the Ghost Market, he could equal Han Li’s cultivation in just one night.
