I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"I've already made an agreement with the Heart Inquiry Sect not to mention the formula of the Heart Inquiry Pill to anyone, so Elder Feng, it's better not to ask."

Elder Feng opened his mouth but, seeing Elder Xiao's resolute attitude, ultimately chose to remain silent.

He turned his head to look at Tian Lin and said, "I promised to give you a Flying Boat and a flying sword. Now that you have the Flying Boat, the flying sword has also been prepared for you a long time ago."

With those words, he slapped his Storage Bag and pulled out a Sword Box.

As the lid of the Sword Box opened, a sword sprung out, and Tian Lin quickly grasped the hilt of the sword.

The longsword hummed, making a 'buzz buzz buzz' sound as though it was a living thing.

Tian Lin frowned and gripped the longsword tightly; the 'struggling' trembling sword finally settled down.

Tian Lin took the opportunity to bite his fingertip and let his blood drop onto the hilt.

Elder Feng gave a light exclamation and nodded, saying, "It seems you do have talent for sword cultivation. With this, Elder He's flying sword falling into your hands is not considered a waste."

The nearby Elder Xiao, engaging in drinking, immediately asked upon hearing this, "The sword you have is Elder He's?"

"Hehe, he has collected so many flying swords, what does he care for one less?

Besides, last time he returned to the sect, he omitted the matter of killing the sixth elder of the Heart Inquiry Sect, nearly causing a big mishap. This sword is what he owes."

Elder Xiao then said, "If Elder He comes back and doesn't find his flying sword, he'll definitely search everywhere. If you're going to make an offering on behalf, make sure you tie up the loose ends, so as to not let Elder He vent his anger on the disciples of my Baihua Peak."

Elder Feng nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to him in a moment—, by the way, you don't have anything you want to tell me since you've come back?"

Elder Xiao put down his teacup and counter-asked him, "What's there to say? You're going to look for Elder He anyway, so anything you want to know, you can ask Elder He."

Elder Feng left with frustration, glaring at Elder Xiao twice before flouncing off.

Once he was gone, Elder Xiao then frowned and turned to Tian Lin, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Tian Lin stood by the table and said, "Elder, if you ask about the Heart Inquiry Skill and the formula for the Heart Inquiry Pill, it relates to my master and I truly do not know how to broach the topic."

Elder Xiao also became frustrated, but he felt there was reason in Tian Lin's words.

In Elder Xiao's view, the only way Tian Lin could have come into contact with the Heart Inquiry Skill and the formula for the Heart Inquiry Pill was through Liu Xuanfeng.

Because more than a hundred years ago, Liu Xuanfeng had received a legacy in the Heart Inquiry Sect, so it was very likely that Tian Lin's Heart Inquiry Skill was secretly taught to him by Liu Xuanfeng.

Such things might not be by the rules, but were the things Elder Liu did ever by the rules?

Mind you, Tian Lin came from the Hua Lang, with no Mid-grade Techniques attached to him. It was Liu Xuanfeng who broke new ground, giving Tian Lin all the spells of the sect family.

As for where the Heart Inquiry Pill formula came from, that's probably only something Liu Xuanfeng himself would know.

"Hehe, Xing Tongtian is right in saying your master seems harmless but is actually extremely cunning. I really don't know how many secrets he's still hiding in his belly."

He was not inclined to let Tian Lin off just yet and asked again, "In the Heart Inquiry Room of the Heart Inquiry Sect, did you get anything other than the legacy of the Heart Inquiry Skill?"

Tian Lin thought for a while and said, "Disciple only received the legacy of the Heart Inquiry Skill, and did not obtain anything else."

Elder Xiao didn't believe him and said, "If it was just the legacy of the Heart Inquiry Skill, how could the Heart Inquiry Stone Carving of the Heart Inquiry Sect have shattered? And why would Senior Brother Zhou want you to become the head of the Heart Inquiry Sect?"

Tian Lin said, "Disciple indeed didn't receive anything else; as for the head of the sect wanting me to become the head, I fear it's not out of sincerity—

He doesn't understand my character, how could he trust to entrust the Heart Inquiry Sect to me?"

Elder Xiao said, "I don't care what legacy you've obtained in the Heart Inquiry Room, I only have one piece of advice for you. Go out less in the future to avoid attracting those with ulterior motives."

Tian Lin's expression turned solemn, and he promptly responded, "Disciple will keep in mind Elder's admonishment."

Elder Xiao didn't like to stay with Tian Lin any longer, suspecting Tian Lin might be hiding something from him, and waved him away as if shooing a fly, "Go on, I'm sure you know how to use the flying sword, so don't bother me here anymore."

Tian Lin bowed again and then left the Daoist Temple respectfully.

As soon as he left the Daoist Temple, he couldn't wait to flick the flying sword out from the Sword Box on his back.

The flying sword hovered in front of Tian Lin as he directed, and upon his gesture, the sword turned into a streak of light and flew away, only to circle back and hover in front of him again.

There was a 'whoosh' sound as the trees fifty steps ahead in front of him fell in a straight line one after another.

The Daoist Temple was instantly filled with Elder Xiao's angry rebuke, "If you want to show off your swordsmanship, go do it down the mountain."

Tian Lin's smile faded, and he quickly retrieved the sword and dashed to the waist of the mountain.

He moved swiftly and didn't stop until he reached the back mountain halfway up the hill.

As he stepped on the flying sword and his thoughts moved, he saw the flying sword vanish with a whoosh, only for himself to lose his footing and tumble off.

"Return!"

After stumbling, Tian Lin steadied himself on the grass but didn't forget to summon back the flying sword that had darted away.

He called for the flying sword in his mind, only to find that he had lost the connection with it.

Tian Lin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately employed the Wind Walking Skill toward the direction where the flying sword had disappeared.

When he reached Medicine Peak, he saw Zhuang Buzhou standing at the foot of Sword Peak.

At the same time, Tian Lin finally sensed his flying sword.

"Return!"

Murmuring in his mind, the flying sword shot towards him with a 'swoosh.'

The flying sword was swift; one moment Tian Lin saw it in Zhuang Buzhou's hand, but then it immediately flew toward his own forehead.
