I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 363 327: Entering the Heavenly Immortal Cave

Tian Lin looked at Elder Mei and Fairy Mei, only to see Elder Mei having an air of elderly composure, seemingly unperturbed.

But Fairy Mei frowned deeply, staring at Tian Lin as if she would kill him if he dared to agree.

"Elder Six, this is incorrect— the Divine Lady Tree was given to me by Elder Mei; it wasn't something I took from the Goddess Sect myself. I truly don't understand why Elder Six would want to seek retribution against me?

Furthermore, Fairy Mei is said to be my sword holder, but I have always considered her a companion on my cultivation path; her marriage should be her own choice. Neither you nor I have the right to interfere."

Tian Lin surmised that Elder Mei was throwing the problem at him, hoping he'd help refuse Elder Six.

Besides, it was likely also a test for him.

Back when Fairy Mei was injured by Elder Wu at the Inquiry Sect, Elder Mei was up in the mountains but didn't intervene. He just watched as Tian Lin was almost strangled by Elder Wu.

It was also at that time that Elder Mei gave him a bottle of Creation Water as a reward—though he never used it, which is another story.

This time, it was likely another test, to see if he could defend Fairy Mei under the pressure of Elder Six.

"Are you suggesting that I was wrong?"

Elder Six, having been contradicted by two juniors consecutively, would have erupted long ago if not for the Breaking Infant Pill.

Seeing Tian Lin unappreciative, she was instantly enraged.

Just as she was about to step forward to make a move against Tian Lin, Elder Mei indeed stood out to block her way.

"Sister Six, Friend Tian is my guest. Even if he has any wrong, you cannot make a move on my island;

Moreover, Friend Tian is right, the Divine Lady Tree was given by me. Even if the sect were to hold someone accountable, the blame should fall on me, and it has nothing to do with him."

Elder Six knowing the marriage couldn't be discussed any further, coldly laughed:

"Fine, since the Mei Family doesn't fancy the Jiang Family of mine, then let's not discuss the marriage; But the Divine Lady Tree is a holy object of our sect. How can it be given away privately? Mei, wait until the Sect Master exits during the Heavenly Maiden Festival, let's see how you explain to the Sect Master."

After speaking, Elder Six turned and left the cave mansion, while Elder Mei merely watched her depart, without any words to retain her.

Once Elder Six left, Fairy Mei lost her previous overbearing attitude, and instead looked a bit worried: "The Jiang Family are always petty. Having offended them this time, grandfather you might not have a good time later."

Elder Mei laughed heartily without care, saying: "What is there to fear? Could the sect kill this Nascent Soul elder for a Divine Lady Tree?"

At the Nascent Soul Realm, one hardly needed to abide by sect rules.

But the situation at the Goddess Sect was different.

Throughout East Continent, the trend of valuing females over males was set by the Goddess Sect and the Joyful Union Sect.

Common people were like this, and the Goddess Sect as the source of the trend was even more so.

One could say, though Elder Mei has Nascent Soul cultivation, ultimately he entered the Goddess Sect as a son-in-law.

And marriages in the Goddess Sect are extremely particular.

Whenever a son-in-law enters the sect, they must kneel before the ancestral statue of the Goddess Sect.

Although this was not as strict as swearing before Houtu, even a Nascent Soul expert would be bound by the vow.

Becoming a son-in-law almost left no chance for turnaround. This is why, although the Goddess Sect is an immortal gate, few true aristocratic family disciples are willing to marry into it.

"Tian, didn't you say you wanted to venture into the Immortal Cave?"

Fairy Mei, finding no other solution, hastily asked in desperation.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Elder Mei immediately shook his head: "No, the Fairy Cave is not so easily ventured."

Fairy Mei also remembered that she and Tian Lin have a master-servant relationship. If Tian Lin died in the Immortal Cave, she too would perish.

She wasn't in the mood to blame Elder Mei for randomly assigning a 'master' to her, but rather complained indignantly:

"Elder Six wants me to marry her son only to have the Breaking Infant Pill brought to the Jiang Family as part of my dowry. In this way, the Breaking Infant Pill would rightfully belong to her son."

Elder Mei asked Tian Lin: "Friend Tian, what do you think of this matter?"

Tian Lin was speechless, actually, he thought Elder Six's open scheme was not without merit.

If Fairy Mei were to wed Elder Jiang's son, then the Mei Family and the Jiang Family could support each other in the Goddess Sect.

With two Nascent Souls in one sect becoming in-laws, Elder Mei would no longer be an unrooted son-in-law—

Additionally, giving the Breaking Infant Pill to Elder Jiang's son, if he truly could achieve the Nascent Soul Realm, Fairy Mei would then have a husband with Nascent Soul-level power.

This would not only benefit Fairy Mei but also the entire Mei Family.

And according to the Goddess Sect's rules, under female dominance, even if Elder Jiang's son is a Nascent Soul expert, he wouldn't dare disrespect Fairy Mei.

Wouldn't it be a win-win for everyone?

However, Fairy Mei evidently didn't want to marry into the Jiang Family, and she preferred to save the Breaking Infant Pill for herself—

"Actually I do want to visit the Immortal Cave."

Tian Lin squeezed out after a long ponder.

Fairy Mei retorted: "With just you? Seeking death is your business, but don't drag me down."

Tian Lin earnestly said: "Only by obtaining two Divine Lady Tree seeds in the Immortal Cave like Senior Brother Zhai Xingzi, can Goddess Sect not hold us accountable;

Though the Immortal Cave is dangerous, if Zhai Xingzi could get out alive, why can't I?"

Fairy Mei chuckled angrily: "Zhai Xingzi is already an Inner Sect Disciple, what about you, do you think you can become an Inner Sect Disciple?"

Tian Lin remained silent, but Elder Mei looked at Tian Lin, it didn't seem like he was bragging.

He had divined Tian Lin's origins, but the divination showed nothing, neither did he know if Elder Yu concealed Tian Lin's past.

Considering it the other way, if Elder Yu did have the means to conceal Tian Lin's past, it proved Tian Lin must have secrets that cannot be made public.

With this notion, Elder Mei resignedly let his granddaughter become Tian Lin's sword holder back then.

"Can you truly enter the Immortal Cave and emerge unscathed?"

Elder Mei stared directly at Tian Lin, gauging if he was lying.

But Tian Lin dared not guarantee, saying: "Junior believes there's a seventy to eighty percent chance."

Elder Mei suspected Tian Lin had some trump card, thus said: "Alright, since you're confident of emerging unscathed, then why not venture into the Immortal Cave once?"

This time, Fairy Mei became anxious, saying: "Grandfather, do you really think of him as Zhai Xingzi? If he were to die, it doesn't matter, but make sure he terminates the contract first, before he dies."

Elder Mei, however, said: "As long as you don't delve deep into the Immortal Cave, I too am confident to rescue him from the Immortal Cave."

Finishing, he solemnly instructed Tian Lin: "Do not recklessly explore the Immortal Cave once inside! Immediately call for help when danger arises, to avoid causing harm to yourself and others."
