I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 362 326: The Reason

No need for this motley bird to report, Elder Mei's voice already came from afar:

"You little girl, every time you come back, you always make some noise."

As Elder Mei's voice fell, Tian Lin noticed a plum tree beside him shifting position.

Fortunately, this was Zhe Mei Island, and Tian Lin knew Elder Mei wouldn't harm him. Otherwise, he would have fled the scene by now.

The scene shifted in a flash, and although Tian Lin didn't move, a cave mansion appeared before him.

It was as if the cave mansion 'walked' towards Tian Lin, and in the blink of an eye, Tian Lin and Mei Fairy had entered it.

"Disciple Tian Lin of the Wendao Sect greets Elder Mei!"

Suppressing his inner shock, Tian Lin respectfully saluted Elder Mei, who was cooking soup in the cave.

"Now that you're on the island, treat it like your own home, no need for such formalities."

As Elder Mei spoke, she ladled a bowl of soup from the stove and handed it to Mei Fairy: "Why don't you bring this over to young friend Tian?"

Mei Fairy, trying to restrain herself, passed a bowl of aromatic meat soup to Tian Lin and eagerly asked Elder Mei, "What's going on? Wasn't everything fine before?"

Elder Mei knew what Mei Fairy was getting at and shook her head with a smile: "It ultimately boils down to the Breaking Infant Pill."

"Breaking Infant Pill?"

Tian Lin was puzzled since he'd never heard of such an elixir.

Mei Fairy, who clearly knew of the Breaking Infant Pill, didn't explain it to Tian Lin, but couldn't help saying:

"The Breaking Infant Pill was something Grandma left me. Does the sect still want to take it back?"

"Yes, the Breaking Infant Pill was left to you by your grandmother, and no one can take it away."

Elder Mei looked at Tian Lin, smiling as she said, "This snake stew helps restore the body. Why isn't young friend Tian eating?"

With his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he easily spotted Tian Lin's hidden injury.

In theory, although Tian Lin regrew his lower body in the secret realm, full recovery wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

Whatever heavenly materials Elder Mei used to cook this meat stew, it was unknown. For ordinary people, no matter how severe the damage, they could easily recover.

Unfortunately, in Tian Lin's hands, this meat stew had a different effect, serving as an auxiliary elixir for some unknown divine skill.

Thankfully, it wasn't poisonous, so Tian Lin obediently ate a few bites.

"I heard that the sixth elder in the sect is opposing Grandpa. So, does this mean the sixth elder wants to seize our Breaking Infant Pill?"

Mei Fairy continued her questioning, as Elder Mei responded, "It's human nature—your sixth grandmother's son has been stuck in the late Golden Core stage for years. He urgently needs the Breaking Infant Pill to increase his chances of breaking through."

Mei Fairy laughed in anger and said, "If she needs the Breaking Infant Pill, she should find it herself in the Tian Xian Cave and not target us—

Back then, Grandma was injured because of that Breaking Infant Pill; otherwise, she wouldn't have died.

What nerve of the sixth elder, opening her mouth to demand it, thinking she's the Sect Master?"

Just as Mei Fairy finished speaking, a voice echoed on the island: "Fourth Brother, this granddaughter of yours is getting more impudent."

Tian Lin turned to look outside the cave and saw an old hag entering with the aid of a cane.

The old woman carried an air of authority despite her anger, and just one glance sent a chill through Tian Lin.

Elder Mei explained to Tian Lin, "This is our sect's sixth elder; just call her Elder Jiang."

Tian Lin quickly saluted, "Disciple Tian Lin of the Wendao Sect greets Elder Jiang."

Elder Jiang asked him, "I heard Xian'er went to Wendao Sect with you? Your Wendao Sect has quite the nerve, deceiving two of our Goddess Sect's female disciples and even stealing two of our Divine Lady Trees."

Mei Fairy, who typically wasn't on good terms with Tian Lin, spoke up:

"The Divine Lady Trees were gifts from my grandfather to him; how can that be considered theft? If we're talking about fraud, isn't the biggest fraud the one ill-intentioned towards the Breaking Infant Pill?"

"Insolence!"

Elder Jiang was furious, but the shout of 'insolence' didn't come from her, but from Elder Mei.

Elder Mei looked at Mei Fairy and said, "Aren't you going to apologize to your sixth grandmother?"

Mei Fairy turned her head away, acting stubborn.

Elder Jiang, however, wasn't angry anymore and said to Elder Mei:

"Look at this girl, she hasn't even formed her Golden Core yet and she's so unruly. When she really forms her core, will she still respect us old folks?"

"I'll discipline Xian'er myself, but sixth sister, why have you come here?"

Elder Mei was slightly impatient but still asked with restraint.

Elder Jiang said, "I'm here to propose on behalf of my son."

This statement left not only Elder Mei but also Mei Fairy stunned.

Only Tian Lin, holding the meat stew, sat quietly, not saying a word.

"Elder Sixth, please choose your words carefully!"

Mei Fairy said, "I should call your son Uncle according to hierarchy, not to mention the rank being off. Even if it were the same, how could my marriage be decided by others?"

Elder Jiang replied, "What hierarchy, in the Cultivation World, there aren't so many scruples, and it's not as if we're blood-related! Besides, since ancient times, marriages have been decided by the parents, how can the younger generation have the final say?"

She ignored Mei Fairy, and instead looked at Elder Mei: "Fourth Brother, my son and Xian'er are a perfect match, having grown up together in the Goddess Sect; they are a match made in heaven.

Now that Fourth Sister is no longer here, it's right for you to make the decision and arrange the engagement for these young ones. This way, our two families will be even closer."

Elder Jiang glanced at Mei Fairy and then at the silent Tian Lin.

Finally, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Sixth sister, you're joking. Now, Xian'er is sword holder for this young friend Tian. Her future and marriage aren't for me to decide."

On the side, Tian Lin didn't expect Elder Mei to throw this problem to him, and couldn't help but glance at Elder Mei.

Unfortunately, Elder Mei's expression was always so kind, and Tian Lin couldn't interpret his intentions from his smile.

Yet Elder Sixth's face looked displeased, and she threw a glance at Tian Lin, saying:

"I know this kid is Elder Yu's disciple from Wendao Sect—but he's just a registered disciple, why would you place your bets on him, Fourth Brother?"

After speaking, Elder Sixth looked at Tian Lin and said, "Kid, if you know what's good for you, obediently break the contract with Xian'er."

Tian Lin put down the meat stew and glanced at Mei Fairy.

Mei Fairy remained silent; Tian Lin figured she hoped to dissolve the contract.

"The oath was made under Houtu; forgive me for being powerless. If Elder Sixth has the ability to help Miss Mei annul the contract without incurring Houtu's wrath, nothing could be better."

Elder Sixth frowned; though she was a strong Nascent Soul cultivator, she didn't have such abilities.

She then took a step back and said, "Fine, you don't have to annul the contract. As long as you're willing to let Xian'er marry my son, I'll owe you a favor and won't pursue the matter of you taking our Goddess Sect's Divine Lady Trees."
