I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Very well, the Goddess Sect will definitely await Brother Tian's arrival!"

The two female disciples knew that neither Tian Lin nor Mei Xianfu were people they could provoke. They cupped their hands, and decisively left the dilapidated hut.

Looking at the ruined house, Tian Lin said to Yu'er, "In a while, please ask the villagers to help repair it."

Yu'er nodded. At this moment, Mei Xianfu was still not in a good mood. She said, "That vile woman Qiu, I'll kill her sooner or later!"

Tian Lin suspected that Mei Xianfu had been hit in a sore spot—perhaps children of aristocratic families, though helped by their families, are very sensitive to accusations of relying on family ties.

"Let's not talk about your grudge with Elder Qiu for now. What I'm even more curious about is, what is this about the ruins of Cloud Summit Duke that you mentioned?"

Mei Xianfu collected the Divine Lady Tree and said, "Is it hard to understand? A grand tomb has emerged in Beiyed County, and the tomb's owner is Cloud Summit Duke. This Divinity Transformation powerhouse has a legacy of the Grand Dao—

I, Elder Qiu, and other sect disciples have all come for Cloud Summit Duke's grand tomb."

Tian Lin questioned again upon hearing, "Since it's the grand tomb of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse, why are there no Nascent Soul Elders coming? Isn't the Grand Dao attractive to Nascent Soul powerhouses?"

"First, a true Immortal Tomb appeared in Cangzhou. Compared to Cloud Summit Duke's tomb, the Immortal Tomb is more alluring to Nascent Soul powerhouses.

Second, it is said that only Golden Core Cultivators can enter Cloud Summit Duke's tomb. Nascent Soul cultivators cannot enter, let alone gain any Grand Dao inheritance."

Tian Lin remained skeptical of Mei Xianfu's words, feeling that the news of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb suddenly appearing was too abrupt.

He had been here for a year and never heard of Cloud Summit Duke until now.

As if overnight, everyone knew about the emergence of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb, and they all rushed to Beiyed County.

"What, are you tempted by the news too?"

Mei Xianfu asked Tian Lin, questioning, "Did you already know that Cloud Summit Duke's tomb would appear here?"

Tian Lin shook his head, firmly denying, "Before this, I had never heard of Cloud Summit Duke's name, let alone any grand tomb."

"Is that really so?"

Mei Xianfu said, "Then why have I heard that this Cloud Summit Duke is actually your sworn brother?"

Tian Lin previously remained composed, but now couldn't stay calm after hearing Mei Xianfu's words.

He looked at Mei Xianfu, but Mei Xianfu didn't seem to be joking.

"Who is my sworn brother?"

He recalled those he had sworn brotherhood with since being among the merchants. Among those brothers, the number was not small but countable.

And only one, with the surname Gao, was still alive;

But when Tian Lin saw Gao at the Immortal Sinking Pond, he was an elderly man in his twilight years, impossible to be Cloud Summit Duke.

"So, could it be the one from the Heavenly Gate, the second-in-command I met?"

Mei Xianfu laughed, saying, "You finally admit it—Cloud Summit Duke is the same officer who took you to the Capital City. His real name is Ran Lang, being the last appointed duke of the Daqi Dynasty."

"It doesn't make sense—whether based on original history or my experiences at the Heavenly Gate, he only had Qi Refinement cultivation back then, and no way could he become a Divinity Transformation powerhouse."

Tian Lin said, "Moreover, by that time the Capital City had already moved, and the legitimate rule of the Daqi Dynasty had left, who appointed him Duke?"

Tian Lin looked skeptically at Mei Xianfu, "Where did you get this information from? Could someone have deceived you?"

"At this moment, are you still pretending?"

Mei Xianfu sneered, "Whenever such a powerhouse dies, there will always be a Tomb Guardian. You're asking who leaked the news of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb? It was none other than his Tomb Guardian. Guess whose descendants this Tomb Guardian belongs to?"

"The second-in-command's descendants?"

Mei Xianfu burst into laughter, "See, now you've confessed, haven't you?"

Tian Lin faced Mei Xianfu coldly and said, "Is it hard to guess? At the Heavenly Gate, I knew only these two, and only these two were connected to each other."

"I'm curious, how did you find the second-in-command's descendants?"

"It wasn't me who found them, but the people from Xiangxi Sect discovered them."

"Would the people from Xiangxi Sect kindly share such secret information with you?"

Hearing Tian Lin's doubt, Mei Xianfu said, "So many factors coincided! Of course, the people from Xiangxi Sect didn't want to share this news with us, but bad luck for them to cross paths with Zhai Xingzi!"

Zhai Xingzi was searching for the True Dragon in the Demon Forest, which was near the Xiangxi Sect.

Conflict was inevitable between the two sides, and later Zhai Xingzi somehow learned about the Xiangxi Sect capturing the second-in-command's descendants. How Zhai Xingzi found out about the secret of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb remains unknown.

In short, Zhai Xingzi didn't plan to keep it secret for Xiangxi Sect, and directly released the news of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb.

This is why so many people have gathered in Beiyed County.

"I have to say, although Zhai Xingzi is somewhat detestable, he's willing to share any good news he has."

Tian Lin ignored Mei Xianfu's sarcasm and said, "Regardless of whether the news of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb is true or false, I'm not going to vie for the Grand Dao inheritance."

Mei Xianfu, who was initially smiling, froze, and looked at Tian Lin, "Are you joking with me?"

"So many people have come for the grand tomb, including Shang Yu; clearly, the risk of obtaining the Grand Dao inheritance is too high."

"Just a mere Shang Yu scares you off, how will you achieve the Grand Dao?"

Mei Xianfu was dissatisfied and said, "If Shang Yu dares to appear, he will leave with no return! Watch, I'll now inform my grandfather—compared to the Grand Dao inheritance, I'm actually more interested in the Immortal Sword."

Tian Lin shook his head, "You can inform the sect elders about Shang Yu, but as for the Immortal Sword—without practicing the Five Killings Skill, it can't be wielded. Even if you seize it, it's useless to you and me."

Tian Lin also planned to spread the word, attracting Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation powerhouses to compete for the Immortal Sword.

The effect of this move is, with so many powerhouses gathered, Shang Yu would find it challenging to kill him.

Presumably, Zhai Xingzi also had this reason for exposing the news of Cloud Summit Duke's tomb; not only to avenge Xiangxi Sect's opposition but also to reduce the number of people competing with him for the True Dragon.

"Fine, you're afraid of dying and dare not go to the tomb for the Grand Dao, which means I have one less competitor."

Mei Xianfu no longer persuaded Tian Lin. She turned her head and said to Cui'er, "Cui'er, let's leave now."

Cui'er was reluctant to part with Tian Lin and her sister easily and didn't want to leave with Mei Xianfu.

She said, "Miss Mei, I have nothing to do by your side, so I won't travel with you."

Mei Xianfu was aggravated, and at this moment Tian Lin also said, "If you're going for the Grand Dao, Cui'er can't help you much. In fact, bringing her into the grand tomb would distract you from taking care of her, why bother?"

Hearing Tian Lin say so, Mei Xianfu said, "Well, since you both refuse to go, going alone will suffice. Tian Lin, being so timid, I wonder when you'll ever achieve the Grand Dao!"

Mei Xianfu said she'd leave and quickly disappeared from everyone's view.
