I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 215 - 179 Immortal Master Zhou

Tian Lin was not afraid of poison that entered his body.

After some thought, Yu'er gestured for Cui'er to leave, and after Cui'er had left, she asked Tian Lin:

"The disappearance of the Seventh Young Master, it really has nothing to do with you, my lord?"

Initially, she did not believe Tian Lin could kill the Seventh Young Master. However, the strength that Tian Lin just showed was clearly beyond an ordinary Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

Yu'er had to admit she had misjudged, and thus she also doubted whether the Seventh Young Master truly died at the hands of Tian Lin.

"You've heard what the Great Elder said just now, the Seventh Young Master went west, while I came from the south. I was heading in the opposite direction to the Seventh Young Master and ultimately never met him, so how could I kill him?"

Tian Lin said and rinsed his mouth with tea again.

He always believed that it was best not to expose secrets if they could be kept hidden.

Although in theory, the sword holder is the closest person, someone you could scheme with. And Yu'er and Cui'er have also shown their loyalty at critical moments—

But Tian Lin himself was not a loyal person, he didn't quite believe in such a quality, nor did he believe that this quality would have a 'shelf life'.

Seeing Tian Lin's denial, Yu'er believed him.

She also felt that, even if Tian Lin was strong, he really couldn't have traveled to the west in such a short period to find and kill the Seventh Young Master.

"So, such a simple reasoning, the Ninth Aunt could not possibly fail to understand.

Perhaps, she knows that you, my lord, are innocent. The reason she approached you may well be because she cannot find any clues herself, thus forcing you to help her in her search."

Yu'er finished speaking, and Tian Lin nodded:

"She wants me to prove my innocence. When I help her find the real culprit or the Seventh Young Master, she can achieve her goal without even needing to apologize.

But if I cannot prove my innocence later, and she really can't find the real murderer, then she can kill me to release her anger. After all, her son and I had conflicts; killing me would serve as a 'memorial' for her son."

Yu'er frowned and said, "If the Ninth Aunt really intends to do this, what should you, my lord, do?"

"To run would be to confirm that I am the real culprit, so I cannot run away. I have no choice but to fall into her scheme and go to the Immortal Sinking Pond to help her look for her son."

Tian Lin looked helpless as if he had suffered a great grievance.

—

Because of the disturbance caused by the Ninth Aunt, Tian Lin had also gained some reputation in Pingyang City.

When these people chatted over tea and after dinner, mentioning the disappearance of the Seventh Young Master, they inevitably talked about Tian Lin and also about the Ninth Aunt who stayed in the old house and refused to leave.

The Ninth Aunt cultivated the Gold Element Dharma Body, and now her Golden God Technique had reached the Minor Success Realm.

Moreover, she is the concubine of the main family's 'Mr. Tong', in both status and strength, she is not someone Tian Lin, a 'corpse retriever', can compare to.

If the Ninth Aunt really wanted to deal with Tian Lin, then he would just have to accept his misfortune.

Compared to the conflict between the Ninth Aunt and Tian Lin, what people discussed even more was the reward offered by the Tong Family.

The Tong Family has now issued a reward, whoever can find the Seventh Young Master, dead or alive, could receive more than seventy top-grade Spirit Stones.

More than seventy top-grade Spirit Stones was an amount difficult for many to resist.

As a result, in the following days, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators heading west to search for the Seventh Young Master significantly outnumbered those going south to catch the Evil Spirit.

This number included the sword holders under these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and among them were Tian Lin's sword holders, Yu'er and Cui'er.

However, the parties involved, Tian Lin, hadn't left his house for four or five consecutive days.

As if the search had nothing to do with him, he completely ignored the Ninth Aunt's warnings.

It wasn't until the sixth day, when the Foundation Establishment Cultivators convinced that the Seventh Young Master had sunk into the sea returned to the city, or went back to the Immortal Sinking Pond in the south, that Tian Lin finally left the house.

He spent six days and had finally cultivated the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill to the Minor Success Realm.

But this was not enough to put his mind at ease because if the Ninth Aunt really wanted to entangle with him, Tian Lin needed to have the strength to safely escape or stay in Pingyang City after killing her.

"I wonder if Elder Yu's waist token would be of any use? Or whether Tong Yao would recognize Elder Yu's waist token."

Tian Lin heard that Tong Yao had returned recently and was now living in seclusion in a thatched cottage next to Kun Lake.

This time he went out, it was to go to Kun Lake to find Tong Yao.

That day at noon, Tian Lin set out from the city, gradually approaching the Kun Lake.

Behind Tian Lin, Granny Tan, the sword holder for the Ninth Aunt, followed closely.

This Granny Tan did not hide her presence, blatantly tailing Tian Lin.

Tian Lin knew she had been watching him for a while and allowed her to follow him.

As they were about to reach the Kun Lake, Granny Tan finally couldn't help but speak:

"Even if you seek the help of the elder ancestor, he will not assist you. You must know, the Seventh Master's blood belongs to the Tong Family."

Tian Lin heard this and laughed, not replying to Granny Tan, and continued towards the Kun Lake.

He chose not to fly with his sword around the Kun Lake to avoid misunderstandings and not to be accused of disrespecting a Golden Core might.

After walking for a while, Tian Lin finally saw the Kun Lake.

Compared to the illusion's Kun Lake, with over a thousand years having passed, someone had built a pavilion on the Kun Lake, and many more thatched cottages appeared on both sides of the lake.

Tian Lin's gaze swept over the fisherman on the lake and then landed on a young girl rushing out of the pavilion.

The girl stepped across the waves and landed on the shore, facing Tian Lin and Granny Tan, she said:

"I was only away from guarding outside for a moment, and you've already broken in?"

Over there, Granny Tan obviously revered the girl, hurriedly bowing and saying:

"Please forgive us, niece. I told this man surnamed Tian not to come in, but he insisted on intruding. He clearly does not put the niece or the elder ancestor in his eyes."

The girl frowned and scolded her:

"Old prude, shut your mouth. I know you're always stirring up trouble. Moreover, you have a grudge with this man surnamed Tian and want to trick me into killing for you—

But the elder ancestor already said that the death of the seventh cousin has nothing to do with this man surnamed Tian. Our Tong Family does not bully others by throwing its weight around."

Her words not only stunned Granny Tan but also surprised Tian Lin.

Before the two could react, the girl looked at Tian Lin and said, "You came to seek help from the elder ancestor, didn't you? I will tell the madam about this and have her summon the Ninth Aunt back."

The Ninth Aunt is the concubine, while the madam is the lawful wife.

The madam has more than just the thirteenth son, and which disciple of this generation in the Tong Family wouldn't want to join the Shuiyun Sect as Outer Disciples?

Therefore, there is a competitive relationship among the descendants of the Tong Family, and the relations between these wives and concubines are not harmonious either.

At this time, Tian Lin felt somewhat relieved. He clasped his hands together towards the girl and said, "Then I am grateful for the lady's help."

The girl rolled her eyes at Tian Lin; she still remembered the scene where Tian Lin was boating in the lake, naked.

Therefore, she didn't have much of a good impression of Tian Lin.

She waved her hand impatiently and said: "Alright, you can go now. Don't come back to the Kun Lake."

Tian Lin bowed and took his leave, but Granny Tan couldn't 'sit still' anymore and couldn't help but say:

"Niece, if you let this lad surnamed Tian off this easily, which of those Huahua Langs seeking to join the Tong Family will take the Tong Family masters seriously in the future?"

The girl snorted coldly:

"As long as the elder ancestor is still here, who would dare not take the Tong Family seriously?

Moreover, the seventh brother has been snatching soul beads everywhere and has already upset the madam and several concubines. If he continues his wanton deeds and jeopardizes the important affairs of the Shuiyun Sect, how can our Tong Family stand in Tianbei County?"

As the girl scolded Granny Tan, Tian Lin had already left the Kun Lake.

When Tian Lin left, he felt more and more that something was amiss.

If the Kun Lake area was off-limits to outsiders, why would there still be a fisherman boating on the lake?

Could it be that the fisherman is one of the Tong Family's, as close to Tong Yao as the girl, hence he was specially allowed to enter?

But Tian Lin recalled the fisherman's face carefully and felt it especially familiar.

"Is it Immortal Master Zhou?"

Tian Lin joined the official road and suddenly halted.

He found it unbelievable; the events that transpired in the illusion were a thousand years ago, yet he could see the figure of Immortal Master Zhou in reality after a millennium had passed.

The Tong Yao from the illusion had now become an Early Golden Core elder ancestor.

And Immortal Master Zhou, who once sold the passage for Elder Yao Yue across the sea, must have become a Golden Core elder as well, right?

Thinking that all these 'acquaintances' and 'old friends' had become Golden Core elders made Tian Lin feel a sense of 'inadequacy'.

He frowned again, questioning himself: "How did Immortal Master Zhou, a person from the Zhou Family, get involved with the Tong Family and why would he appear at the Kun Lake?

Others may not know that the tomb in the Lake requires a 'key' to open, but how could Immortal Master Zhou not know?"

At this moment, Tian Lin was more convinced that the Nine-Life True Man's tomb in the Kun Lake was a conspiracy.

He did not know who the conspiracy targeted, only deciding not to get involved.

The next day, the 'niece' from the Kun Lake kept her word. The day after Tian Lin left the Kun Lake, a sword holder from the madam came to summon the Ninth Aunt back home.

However, the Ninth Aunt did not agree; by now, she was convinced of her son's death.

With her son gone and nobody to accompany him in death, how could she bear it after being a concubine in the Tong Family for so many years, swallowing her pride all this while, with all her hopes pinned on her son?
