I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 61 - 56 Let’s just leave it at that

Watching the relaxed gait of the young merchant master, Tian Lin was doubtful whether the other party truly only had "brute strength", or if there was still a trace of True Qi remaining within him.

"Heh, how busy have the Outer Disciples of the sect become? Yet you seem quite at ease."

As the young merchant master saw Tian Lin still sitting upright in meditation, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly ascended the stone steps with an easy demeanor.

Tian Lin did not rise. Instead, he simply opened the food box he had brought from Lianshui Peak’s dining hall yesterday, pulling out the Grass God Fish, a delicacy he had never tasted before, while saying:

"Young Master Shang has arrived so early, you probably haven’t had breakfast, right?"

While speaking, he took a three-legged toad and an Eagle Swallow from the second and third drawers, respectively.

After arranging the dishes, he then said to Young Master Shang, "If Young Master Shang does not mind, why not join me for a bit?"

Young Master Shang’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a face full of disdain, "These dishes have gone cold, and you use them to entertain me?"

Tian Lin laughed and responded, "Aren’t these the dishes Young Master Shang prepared for me yesterday? I’m simply offering what was given to me. What’s wrong with that?"

"What do you mean?"

As soon as Young Master Shang’s words fell, the dish containing the three-legged toad flew toward him, carried by Tian Lin’s hand.

By the time Young Master Shang dodged the dish, Tian Lin had already rushed up to him.

Although his punch was hastily blocked by Young Master Shang, his foot had already kicked Young Master Shang in the stomach.

Young Master Shang was sent flying, landing at the edge of the ninety-ninth step.

Tian Lin frowned and pointed his right index finger at Young Master Shang’s leg.

Young Master Shang hurriedly protected his leg with his left hand, but then a ’whoosh’ sound was heard as his left hand was pierced through. Not only that, but a hole was also poked through his leg, which caused his trousers to start burning.

"Bright Sun Finger?"

Young Master Shang said in surprise, and Tian Lin’s frown deepened even more.

He was at the first tier of Qi Refining, managing to bring the Bright Sun Finger, a low-grade Technique, to the Minor Success Realm was already quite impressive.

Therefore, he was not lamenting the lack of power of the Bright Sun Finger, but was surprised that it seemed like Young Master Shang really had lost all his cultivation.

"How dare you harm your master?"

Furious, Young Master Shang struggled to his feet, limping as he drew a knife from his waist.

Tian Lin pointed his finger again, and with a ’bang’, Young Master Shang’s treasured blade was instantly punctured.

"You poison me and still expect me not to kill you?"

He was about to flick his finger again when a voice sounded from the second batch of stone steps, "Do you want to wind up in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Tian Lin did not dare to kill Young Master Shang under the public eye, and he also did not want to expose the conflict between him and Young Master Shang in public.

But seeing servant disciples ascending the first flight of stone steps, Tian Lin insisted on an all-or-nothing approach.

He said: "Young Master Shang tried to harm me, I was simply defending myself to save my life. If you don’t believe me, take those dishes and let’s go to the Law Enforcement Hall. I also want to—"

"Enough!"

Young Master Shang, with his hair in disarray, frowned deeply. His gaze swept over the girl in green, but, uncharacteristically, he managed to force a smile.

"The fault lies with me today. Tonight, I will host a dinner at Lianshui Peak and offer my apologies to Brother Tian."

He addressed Tian Lin as "Tian Junior Brother" for the first time, which meant that he acknowledged Tian Lin was no longer his servant or the mine slave his family once owned.

But Tian Lin did not give him the courtesy, ever since they fell out yesterday, there has been no face to save between them.

"Lianshui Peak’s wine, I dare not drink. If Brother Shang really means it, why not come to Baihua Peak? I’ll treat you to a drink."

He included the word ’you all’, and Young Master Shang responded, "Good, I’ll bring my sister with me."

Watching him limp down the stairs, Tian Lin turned his head to the green-clad girl beside him and asked, "Sister Han, do you really think he has reached the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining?"

The green-clad girl stared at the retreating figure of Young Master Shang and couldn’t help but frown.

At that time, many servant disciples at the eightieth and ninetieth stages of the first section of the stairway caught the green-clad girl’s eyes; she disliked being watched by so many people and only snorted coldly:

"Though Lianshui Peak goes by the surname Liu, Thirteen Madam is not someone to be trifled with. You’ve offended Brother Shang, you better watch out in case his sister complains to the elders."

She left with her food box, and Tian Lin went back to the platform.

He picked up the overturned dishes and began pondering how to negotiate benefits from the Shang family that evening.

He had initiated the conflict earlier to gauge Young Master Shang’s strength, express his anger, and by virtue of this so-called anger, showed his willingness to risk death together with Young Master Shang.

In Young Master Shang’s eyes, Tian Lin was still under control of his Heartache Gu. So in dealing with Tian Lin, he always had a sense of superiority, as if grasping the upper hand.

If Tian Lin couldn’t make Young Master Shang understand that he wasn’t afraid of his Heartache Gu, how could Young Master Shang seriously consider his demands?

"The antidote for the Heartache Gu, the formula for the poison, what else can I demand from the Shang family?"

In the afternoon, Tian Lin took his food box to Baihua Peak.

The kitchen department in Baihua Peak freed up a room for Tian Lin; he asked Sister Zhu for help with preparing some dishes, and entrusted a servant disciple from the kitchen department to invite the Shang siblings to their appointment at Lianshui Peak.

Tian Lin waited almost an hour, and finally saw the Shang siblings arriving together.

Thirteen Madam still had the sound of wind chimes as she walked, and her appearance immediately drew the attention of the servant disciples.

Everyone had heard of Thirteen Madam’s stunning beauty of Lianshui Peak, and seeing her now, they could not help being captivated.

But given her esteemed status, and Tian Lin and Young Master Shang standing by, the servant disciples dared not even glance sideways, for fear of displeasing them.

Tian Lin did not want the conversation with the Shang siblings to be overheard, so he asked the kitchen staff to serve the hot food, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Thirteen Madam started by saying, "Brother Tian, don’t misunderstand, it’s just that Elder Liu likes to take a bath in the afternoon, so my sister was a bit late. She did not mean to keep you waiting."

Tian Lin bluntly replied, "Is Thirteen Madam using Elder Liu to pressure me?"

Thirteen Madam was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister did not mean to use Elder Liu to press you, but to tell you that Elder Liu likes to press me."

With those words, Young Master Shang frowned, and even Tian Lin frowned, not knowing how to respond.

Thirteen Madam took a cup from the table with her bare hands, poured herself a cup of wine, and said, "The idea of poisoning you was mine, and I was the one who did the poisoning. I’ll punish myself with three cups as an apology to Brother Tian."

After saying this, she truly intended to down the wine in one go.

Young Master Shang stopped her, but heard her say, "How could Brother Tian ever adopt a woman’s tricks like mine, engaging in such vile acts of poisoning? There’s no way the food and drinks could be tampered with."

After speaking, she actually drank three cups of wine.

With the alcohol in her system, her cheeks flushed a deep red, giving her a charming allure.

After she put down the wine cup and wiped the traces of wine from her lips with a handkerchief, she looked at Tian Lin and asked, "I’ve imposed the drinking penalty on myself, how about we call it even on the poisoning matter?"
