I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 312 - 276: Regrets Are Useless

"I have done no wrong, on what grounds am I expelled from the sect?"

Mei Immortal, still wounded, stood up nonetheless, looking at her grandfather with defiance and indignation.

"Just because I am an elder of the Goddess Sect, because I am your grandfather."

After saying this, Elder Mei lifted a hand and seized Mei Immortal's waist token.

He didn't waste any further words, nodded to Tian Lin and others, and disappeared in an instant.

Teaching Elder and Deacon Elder looked at each other, their earlier hostility gone.

After all, other than being disadvantageous for Mei Immortal, this outcome caused no loss to the two of them.

It could also be said that this outcome was acceptable to both; it was certainly better than either Mei Immortal or Tian Lin dying outright.

Moreover, this was a decision made by a Nascent Soul Elder.

They were merely a Teaching Elder and a Deacon Elder, could they possibly defy a decision of a Nascent Soul Elder?

To put it nicely, the Teaching Elder and the Deacon Elder are still elders, but to put it bluntly, they merely handle miscellaneous matters for the sect.

"Mei niece!"

Deacon Elder looked at Mei Immortal and after thinking it over, said: "Right now, the most important thing is for you to rest properly and recover your health."

By rights, as Mei Immortal was no longer a person of the Goddess Sect, she wasn't qualified to be called 'niece'.

Furthermore, Mei Immortal was now Tian Lin's sword holder. Not to mention no longer being an inner sect disciple of the Goddess Sect, her status was not even comparable to that of an outer disciple.

But considering she still had a grandfather at the Nascent Soul Realm, being in the inner or outer sect was just a matter of one word from her grandfather.

Therefore, Deacon Elder treated Mei Immortal just as before, quite amicably.

"No, I must return to the Goddess Sect and ask him in person to clarify things."

How could Mei Immortal be willing to be Tian Lin's sword holder?

She stood up, intending to channel her True Qi to depart by Sword Control.

But right now, she could only stay above these seas with the support of Deacon Elder. With her body severely wounded, not to mention flying away on a sword, even moving a little was extremely difficult.

As expected, her body swayed, but fortunately, Deacon Elder caught her.

Deacon Elder's expression changed slightly, saying: "You should know Elder Mei's temper. Since he has expelled you from the sect, he won't allow you to enter the Goddess Sect again.

Furthermore, since you have taken an oath to serve as Tian's sword holder due to Houtu, this is different from other sword holders; according to the rules between master and servant, from now on, Tian's fortune and disgrace are closely linked to you—if he dies, you certainly cannot live alone.

Once you violate the oath, Houtu will not kill you, but rather seize your soul to suffer for eons."

Mei Immortal said: "That's why I don't understand, who would send their own granddaughter to be someone else's servant? If my grandmother were alive, she would never do such a thing. No, you must take me back to the sect so I can ask him to make things clear."

Where would Deacon Elder be willing to do such a thankless task? fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

She hurriedly said: "The deed is done, even if you find Elder Mei, he cannot reclaim the contract from Houtu. So what's the use even if you really see Elder Mei?"

As they were talking on their side, Tian Lin was also speaking aboard the Flying Boat amongst the clouds.

The Teaching Elder checked Tian Lin's body and found that there were no serious issues, but this raised doubts in his mind.

However, considering that Tian Lin was a disciple of Elder Yu and was so exceptionally talented, it wasn't impossible that he hid a Divine Skill that allowed him to stay in the Immortal Sinking Pond for an extended period.

Seeing that the Teaching Elder wasn't steering the boat, Tian Lin coughed and said, "Could it be that the elder believes that Mei Immortal would really leave with me?"

The Teaching Elder replied with a smile, "Since she has already made a binding oath with Houtu, there's no going back for her now. Aside from traveling with us, she has nowhere else to go."

Tian Lin said, "Is making a binding oath with Houtu really that compelling?"

"Houtu and the Heavenly Emperor both govern the principle of 'trust'. Anyone witnessed by these two cannot break an oath. Once broken, it is worse than entering the Eighteen Layers of Hell – one would regret it for hundreds of millions of years, with no chance of transcendence.

Thus, very few dare to swear by these two gods."

Tian Lin nodded, and Ju Yunhai patted Tian Lin's shoulder enviously:

"At first, I said that you, Tian Disciple, being a sword holder, were too weak, suggesting I find someone from my clan who is in the early stage of Foundation Establishment to serve as your sword holder instead. Yet before I could even act, you have already gained a sword holder who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and close to reaching the Golden Core."

Hearing Ju Yunhai's words, Tian Lin did not look pleased; instead, he said, "If she is already so arrogant at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, what would she do to me once she reaches the early Golden Core? Wouldn't she just trample me and humiliate me?"

The Teaching Elder said, "Since she is your sword holder, while deceit is possible, daring to directly harm you would lead to the punishment of Thick Earth. Therefore, Tian Nephew need not worry too much.

In fact, the higher her cultivation, the more beneficial it is for you. Unless one day she can free herself from the Dao Seal that Thick Earth has placed on her, she can only serve as your sword holder for her entire life."

"That is exactly why I am puzzled. It's a lifelong commitment, and I cannot understand why her own grandfather would 'sell' his granddaughter to someone else."

"Nascent Soul Elders possess some divination abilities. I suppose he probably felt that it would be beneficial for Mei Disciple to follow Tian Disciple for her future development."

After this comment, the Teaching Elder ceased speaking.

Everyone looked towards the thick fog below and saw Elder Qiu leading Mei Immortal onto the Flying Boat.

After exchanging greetings with the Teaching Elder, Elder Qiu said to Tian Lin, "I entrust Mei Disciple to you, Tian Disciple. I hope you will treat her well in the future."

Tian Lin glanced at Mei Immortal and noticed she had no awareness of her role as a sword holder. As soon as she boarded the boat, she crossed her legs and sat down to meditate and recover her cultivation without waiting for his agreement.

Tian Lin wasn't offended and said to Elder Qiu, "Naturally, I dare not mistreat her, but I also hope she doesn't harbor any resentment towards me. Otherwise, it would be better for her to return to the Goddess Sect."

The crowd noticed that at Tian Lin's words, the corners of Mei Immortal's mouth twitched slightly.

Evidently, although Mei Immortal was supposedly meditating to recover, she was keenly listening to the conversation between Tian Lin and Elder Qiu.

Elder Qiu chuckled and said, "I have some Spirit Stones here, which are meant for Mei Disciple's living expenses. I ask Tian Disciple to keep them safe on her behalf."

She took off a Storage Bag and handed it to Tian Lin.

With a single glance, Tian Lin saw that there were around a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones and dozens of Stone Crystals he had never seen before.

He accepted the Storage Bag and exchanged formalities with Elder Qiu, who then left with the other two disciples from the Goddess Sect.

On the boat, due to the presence of Mei Immortal, it was not appropriate to continue discussing certain topics in front of her.

Seeing this, the Teaching Elder had no choice but to steer the Flying Boat towards Pingyang City.
