I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 83 - 78: Earning More Spirit Stones

After the commotion, the sun had already set.

Tian Lin returned to the tavern, and the waiter, upon seeing Tian Lin, broke out in a cold sweat: "Has the Immortal Master returned for his horse?"

Tian Lin shook his head and asked him, "Why are you calling me an Immortal Master out of the blue?"

The waiter was surprised: "Wasn’t it the Immortal Master who just had that face-off downstairs?"

"You must have seen wrong," Tian Lin said casually, then asked again, "Is the private room I had earlier still available?"

The waiter quickly nodded but, after a thought, said, "For the private room, about that silver—"

With just a glance from Tian Lin, the waiter turned and went upstairs, saying only, "Deduct it from the deposit I paid during the day."

Only after hearing Tian Lin speak so easily did the waiter confirm that Tian Lin couldn’t possibly be an Immortal Master.

Tian Lin found the private room and, while the waiter served some pastries and dried fruits, he took out the dried Grass God Fish to eat on his own.

"Sir, would you like some drink?"

The waiter was still hoping to earn some money for wine, but Tian Lin waved him off, saying, "Prepare some dishes for me; I’ll want to eat in a while."

After the waiter left, Tian Lin nibbled on the fish jerky while looking at the Wang Family’s large residence.

He only knew that Lin Ping’an’s cultivation was at the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining, but he didn’t know how high the old couple from the Wang Family’s cultivation was.

But according to Tian Lin’s thoughts, the cultivation of these two wouldn’t be low. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have attempted to ’devour’ four cultivators at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining in one go.

When Tian Lin first entered Lin’an County, he had thought of verifying the old man Wang’s identity, so he came up with the idea of the Contract Paper.

His original Contract Paper was actually intended to be a ’labor contract’.

But in any case, he did not expect the old man Wang to disdain his low cultivation—indeed, ten Spirit Stones in exchange for a second-tier ’Blood Pill’ was not a small loss.

It made sense that the old man Wang didn’t want his escort.

Now, the old man Wang had exchanged ten Spirit Stones for five eighth-tier ’Blood Pills’, which must have been a good deal.

Just that it was unknown how many of these five Blood Pills were Lin Ping’an’s.

"Sir, your dishes are served," said the waiter, holding the transmission plate and serving dishes to Tian Lin.

As he was about to look through the window at the Wang Family’s residence, Tian Lin suddenly asked him, "I heard that the county master of Lin’an County is quite good?"

The waiter shifted his gaze back and quickly answered Tian Lin, "Our county master of Lin’an County has always been quite good. Both the sect families and ordinary civilians hold him in high regard."

"Oh really? So, there’s actually a county master praised by both the sect families and ordinary civilians in this world?"

The waiter chuckled, "In ancient times, county masters would please the local sect families by turning a blind eye and letting them prey on the civilians, capturing them to become slaves—

But our Lin’an county master is different; he has a way to protect the civilians, keeping them free from persecution by the sect families, and yet he manages not to incur the wrath of those sect families."

"How so? The sect families have long regarded the world’s civilians as their cattle and horses."

Tian Lin said, "If the county master wants the civilians to live and work in peace without becoming wandering bachelors, he must inevitably become an enemy of the sect families within his jurisdiction; if there is no exchange of benefits, why would the sect families consider him a friend?"

The waiter frowned but, considering Tian Lin’s status as a guest and his generous payment, refrained from losing his temper.

"Nevermind, have you seen the two girls from the Wang Family?"

Tian Lin suddenly spoke up, pointing towards the Wang Family’s large residence outside the window.

The waiter looked in the direction indicated by Tian Lin and saw two female figures, one in a green dress and the other in a red one, in the courtyard of the Wang Family.

"Sir, you mean?"

Tian Lin said, "Don’t you usually solicit customers outside the store? When they come out of the Wang Family later, could you please invite them up for me?"

Before the waiter could speak, Tian Lin had already thrown five coins of silver to him: "Just tell the one in the green dress that we have Eagle Swallow here and ask if she’d like to eat."

The waiter didn’t understand what Eagle Swallow was, but having received Tian Lin’s silver, he didn’t ask any more questions.

After the waiter went downstairs to wait at the tavern’s entrance, Tian Lin’s gaze still lingered on the Wang Family’s old residence. Experience more on novelbuddy

About half a quarter of an hour later, the large gate of the residence finally opened, and the old crone was seen escorting Han Yue and the red-dressed girl out of the estate.

Two young women leaving the estate naturally attracted the attention of many on the street.

Seeing that they were about to head towards South Street, the waiter hurriedly intercepted them.

Before the red-robed girl could take action, the waiter said to Han Yue, "Miss, our store has just gotten in some Eagle Swallow, would you be interested in trying it?"

The red-dressed girl, who was about to react, spoke first in astonishment, "Eagle Swallow? Isn’t that something from our Yao Yue Sect? How do you have it?"

The waiter’s complexion changed as he realized that the two in front of him were Immortal Masters.

With this in mind, he also suspected that Tian Lin’s identity was no simple matter.

Scared, his legs went weak, but fortunately before his knees hit the ground, a sword scabbard supported him.

Without seeing Han Yue exert much force, her scabbard tapped gently, and the waiter steadied himself.

Without waiting for the waiter to speak, Han Yue said, "It so happens we do not have a place to sleep tonight; I wonder if we could stay at your inn?"

The waiter wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly replied, "Our tavern can accommodate guests whether for a short stay or lodging. Please, two Immortal Masters, follow me."

Han Yue exchanged a glance with the lady in red, and together, they followed the waiter into the tavern.

After Tian Lin upstairs watched the disappearance of the two ladies, he closed the window and stood up.

Shortly thereafter, sure enough, he could hear the sound of the waiter’s footsteps outside the door.

Tian Lin got up to greet them. As soon as the door opened, he greeted Han Yue and the lady in red with cupped hands: "I’ve seen Sister Han and Sister Xiao."

Xiao Hong didn’t recognize Tian Lin, but seeing Han Yue nod, she followed suit with a nod as well.

Now the waiter looked at Tian Lin with a different gaze, touching the Silver in his sleeve, uncertain whether he should return the reward Silver to Tian Lin or not.

Fortunately, Tian Lin didn’t care about such trivial Silver and said to the waiter: "I have a private matter to discuss with the two sisters. After you go downstairs, don’t say anything more."

The waiter hurriedly nodded and bowed out, leaving Tian Lin to invite Han Yue and Xiao Hong into the room.

As he closed the door, Han Yue said:

"It seems that only junior brother Tian of the Yao Yue Sect is particularly fond of eating Eagle Swallow. When the waiter mentioned Eagle Swallow, I thought it was you."

As Tian Lin came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Hong use the sword hilt to push open the window.

Xiao Hong’s phoenix eyes glanced toward the Wang Family’s direction, then turned around and questioned Tian Lin:

"Your surname is Tian, so you must be the disciple from Lianshui Peak who had his mission taken by Qian Ping. What, you called us two over, not to ask us to help you seek justice, right?"

"The junior brother dare not trouble the two senior sisters. The reason I’ve asked the senior sisters here is that I’m uncertain if one matter is appropriate to discuss."

He raised his hand, waited for the two sisters to sit down, then took a seat on another bench.

Once both women were looking at Tian Lin, he began: "I overheard Brother Qian intending to pass the task of capturing the Devil Path of Lin’an County to you two sisters?"

"What does the junior brother mean?"

Seeing that Han Yue sat down without a word, it was always Sister Xiao who spoke. Tian Lin was somewhat hesitant, not yet clear about Sister Xiao’s character and integrity.

"Junior brother Tian, feel free to speak your mind, Sister Xiao is a great-granddaughter of Elder Xiao from Baihua Peak, and she usually does not interact with Brother Qian."

"Do you recognize Lin Ping’an, Sister Xiao?"

Xiao Hong said, "I rarely leave the sect; I only met him once when I came to Lin’an County to perform a mission."

After speaking, she squinted her eyes at Tian Lin, adding: "Could it be that there is something wrong with this Lin Ping’an?"

"I too wanted to take a part in the task of finding the Devil Path of Lin’an County. I wonder whether the two sisters would be willing."

Tian Lin offered his terms. Xiao Hong decisively said, "Fine, as long as you contribute to the cause, dividing ten Spirit Stones evenly among us three is not a problem."

"Not hiding anything from the two sisters, I’m convinced that this Lin Ping’an is the Devil Path of the Blood Sect. I suspect that the several cases of Blood Refining Pill murders in Lin’an County were done by Lin Ping’an."

He leaned in over the table, not to take advantage of the two ladies, but after hearing Tian Lin’s words, Xiao Hong, who was originally frowning and leaning back, stood up immediately.

She looked at Tian Lin uncertainly, leaned in proactively, and said with clenched silver teeth:

"Is what the junior brother says reliable? You know, he is the county master and a Disciple of the Bai Sheng Sect, his status is not ordinary."

Han Yue also frowned and looked at Tian Lin, just as Tian Lin said: "I personally witnessed him turning two mortals into Blood Pills; this is undoubtedly true."

After saying this, Tian Lin sat back down.

Now it was the two women who were anxious, while Tian Lin seemed to be calm and composed.

Xiao Hong looked up, saw Tian Lin slowly sipping tea, and said:

"To find out whether someone is a disciple of the Blood Sect, you can only force them to use their Spell; yet with our level of cultivation, how can we force him to exert his full strength?"

"If Sister trusts me, we should go back to our sect and ask for reinforcements — surely the sect would understand our lack of strength, and for a reward of ten Spirit Stones, they should be willing to give us five or six at least."

Xiao Hong said: "As long as our information is accurate, it will be a great contribution, and the sect will absolutely not skimp on giving us Spirit Stones — what I’m worried about now is, if the information is false, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for both parties when the time comes?"

"If I wasn’t confident, how would I dare to speak rashly? Sister should consider, consider those ten..."

Before he could say ’ten Spirit Stones’, Xiao Hong’s face had already become resolute:

"Yes, think about those hundred thousand people. If Lin Ping’an really is that— the consequences would be unimaginable."

She stood up and said to Han Yue: "Sister Han, stay here tonight, while I return to the sect first for reinforcements."

Han Yue, who had been silent, nodded, and seeing this, Xiao Hong promptly left the room with her sword.

Seeing Tian Lin still looking in the direction where Xiao Hong disappeared, Han Yue said:

"Sister Xiao has a cultivation of the ninth-tier Qi Refining, and she also has a Godspeed Talisman in her hand, so she can return to the sect faster than us. Moreover, as a true disciple of the Yao Yue Sect, the sect’s people will be more likely to believe her."

Tian Lin nodded: "Sister Xiao is indeed the best candidate to report back to the sect."

"But Sister Xiao’s return trip will take quite a while. We came here on a mission to investigate the Devil Path; if we don’t visit Lin Ping’an at the Lin’an county government, I’m afraid it might arouse his suspicion."

Tian Lin nodded again: "Sister is right, we should go to the county government as usual tomorrow to inquire about the recent murders in Lin’an County."

"All right, I’ve asked for a guest room in the tavern. I’ll come to find the junior brother after dawn."

Han Yue didn’t say much more and left the room with her sword.

After a while, the waiter stealthily knocked on the door: "Immortal Master, would you like to stay at the tavern?"

Tian Lin called him in and said: "Pack up this table of untouched food for me and give it to the beggars on the street who have nothing to eat—as for staying over, never mind that. I’ll rest in this private room for the night."

The waiter looked at the untouched meal on the table and felt speechless inside.

But he dared not show any doubt on his face, swiftly took the transmission plate, packed up the dishes back onto the plate, and carried them away.

Once the door was closed, Tian Lin opened the window and looked toward the Wang Family’s residence.

The lights in the Wang residence were bright, and Tian Lin could vaguely see Qian Ping and several others huddled together, quietly discussing something.

Tian Lin didn’t know what they were discussing, so he took out the two Spirit Stones given to him by Lin Ping’an.
