I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong -
Chapter 360 324 Divine Lady Tree
After saying this, she seemed to have thought of something and asked Tian Lin, "Do you want to go to the Goddess Sect with me?"
Not waiting for Tian Lin to open his mouth to refuse, she continued:
"Your Divine Lady Tree wants to advance, it's best to bring it to the Goddess Sect to receive the blessing from the Mother Tree. This is simpler and more efficient than you looking for Evil Spirits to improve the quality of the Divine Lady Tree on your own."
The rejection that Tian Lin was about to utter was instantly swallowed back. He asked her, "The Goddess Sect won't help improve the quality of my Divine Lady Tree for no reason, right?"
"That depends on whether my grandfather is willing to help you."
Ju Yunhai spoke up to encourage Tian Lin, "As a disciple of Class A, you must go on a pilgrimage. Tian Lin, you have nothing to do around the sect, why not visit the Goddess Sect and take a look."
He was encouraging Tian Lin to gain benefits, as it would be difficult for Tian to enter the secret realm alone without Mei Xiangu as his bodyguard.
"When does Miss Mei plan to return to the Goddess Sect?"
"In two days, it will be the Heavenly Maiden Festival of the Goddess Sect. I plan to leave at the latest tomorrow afternoon."
Seeing this, Tian Lin decisively told Cui'er, "You return to the sect with Brother Ju and the others, I won't take you this time to the Goddess Sect."
Cui'er knew the Transmission Array was expensive, although Tian Lin didn't care about that cost anymore.
However, since going to the Goddess Sect was not a dangerous task, she didn't think there was any need to accompany him, so she nodded.
Mei Xiangu, however, at this moment said to Tian Lin, "Miss Wang said she will treat everyone to breakfast tomorrow morning. I don't know if fellow Daoist Ju and fellow Daoist Zhou are willing to go, but I've already agreed on your behalf."
Breakfast?
The next morning, Tian Lin found that those dining together included not only Zhou Jin and Ju Yunhai but also elders from the Wang Family.
Only then did Tian Lin realize that Wang Yanyu inviting them to breakfast was actually to ask them for support.
Wang Yanyu is no longer a disciple of the sect, which means she has lost the halo of the immortal disciples.
Furthermore, she was expelled from the Wang Family, so she had no background to rely on.
But with Tian Lin and the others giving her support, it helped to improve Wang Yanyu's status in the Su family and prove her connections are still intact.
A breakfast passed entirely in subtle socializing, and in the afternoon, Wang Yanyu personally escorted Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu to the Beiyed County post station.
After saying goodbye to Ju Yunhai and the others, Tian Lin traveled on the Transmission Array from the post station together with Mei Xiangu to the East Continent.
Their landing point was Yanfei County in the East Continent, which wasn't far from the Goddess Sect.
At this time, the Goddess Sect was preparing to hold the Heavenly Maiden Festival, and although people in Yanfei County couldn't attend the festival at the Goddess Sect, each household had its own way of celebrating.
When Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu arrived in Yanfei County, the county city was crowded with vendors and many female cultivators wandering around, while men were setting up stalls.
Unlike the North Wilderness and Cangzhou, there were many female cultivators in the East Continent. It was common to see men with bare upper bodies on the brothel steps soliciting clients.
On the streets, there was a large number of female cultivators passing by. They were dressed simply, with rather rough outfits.
In contrast, the men were meticulously groomed and had delicate and weak dispositions.
"Stay close to me!"
Just as Mei Xiangu finished speaking, Tian Lin felt someone touch his backside.
But in such a crowded place, brushing against others was inevitable. He couldn't tell if it was intentional or accidental.
Yet, when he turned around, he only saw some women with satisfied smiles.
Fortunately, Mei Xiangu frowned and warned those women, "Flirting openly in public. Do you think I'm afraid to kill?"
Noticing the mark on Mei Xiangu's forehead, those women suspected she had ties with the Goddess Sect. After a series of reactions, they dared not linger and hurried away.
Mei Xiangu scowled discontentedly at Tian Lin, "Getting harassed and you don't even fight back. People see you're easy to bully and just assume you're some decadent loafer."
Tian Lin was speechless, sighing, "I didn't expect the East Continent to be so different from other places."
He finally understood why the female disciples of the Goddess Sect held male disciples in contempt.
And why the female disciples of the Goddess Sect often appeared more aggressive than men.
"Whether it's the Joyful Union Sect or our Goddess Sect, the ancestors are female cultivators. In the East Continent for tens of thousands of years, they've suppressed men strongly.
Here, women are strong and men are weak, which is perfectly normal."
After speaking, she added, "Our Goddess Sect is still alright, but if you encounter people from the Joyful Union Sect, be cautious and don't be tempted by them."
Tian Lin's heart tightened, though he had never met female cultivators from the Joyful Union Sect, he had heard of their methods.
"On this trip to the Goddess Sect, you are undeniably the focus."
Tian Lin made a promise, and Mei Xiangu nodded in satisfaction.
She didn't trust Tian Lin's other promises but was very assured about his stance on male-female relationships.
The two left the post station and reached the west side of town, where Mei Xiangu found a tavern.
This tavern was actually a place set up by the Goddess Sect within the county to gather intelligence, and it received Mei Xiangu to discuss the recent situation of the Goddess Sect.
After inquiring about her grandfather's current situation, Mei Xiangu didn't linger in the tavern. Instead, she directly took Tian Lin to rush to the Goddess Sect.
Tian Lin watched her being anxious on the Flying Boat and knew she was worried about her grandfather's safety, so he comforted her:
"No matter what, Elder Mei is a Nascent Soul powerhouse. Even if the Goddess Sect favors women over men, would they dare disregard cultivation and humiliate Elder Mei?"
"The ordinary disciples naturally wouldn't dare disrespect my grandfather, but what concern do those Nascent Soul Elders have? With sectal factional struggles, the disciples naturally take sides.
With Nascent Soul Elders supporting them, those disciples aren't as afraid of my grandfather anymore."
Tian Lin remained silent. Although Elder Mei was being ostracized by people within the sect, ultimately, it was due to internal interests struggle within the Goddess Sect, seemingly unrelated to him.
But Elder Mei gave him the Divine Lady Tree and allowed Mei Xiangu to personally be his sword holder; this indeed became the primary target for attacking Elder Mei.
Hadden't known it was one thing, but now knowing, can I just turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know?
"What do you plan to do?"
After Tian Lin asked, Mei Xiangu couldn't hold back her anger, glaring at Tian Lin:
"How should I know what to do? In my opinion, you should return the Divine Lady Tree to the sect. This way, people have less of an excuse to attack my grandfather."
Tian Lin stayed silent.
It's not as if he couldn't bear returning the Divine Lady Tree—alright, he actually couldn't bear to return the Divine Lady Tree, he needed this tree for his future path.
But setting aside whether he could part with it, in Tian Lin's view, returning the Divine Lady Tree wouldn't prevent others from finding other ways to criticize Elder Mei.
"Actually, there's another way. If I remember correctly, the Goddess Sect says the Divine Lady Tree can't be given to outsiders, but Zhai Xingzi is clearly not under this rule."
