I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 99 91: The Elder’s Reward and Shang Yu’s Invitation

Tian Lin rented a room in the kitchen courtyard of Baihua Peak, took a bath, and changed his clothes before heading up the mountainside of Baihua Peak.

He did not feel it appropriate to directly seek out Elder Xiao, so he found a servant disciple to ascertain Xiao Hong's residence.

That female disciple led Tian Lin to Xiao Hong's dwelling, just as Xiao Hong was playing a game of Go with Elder Xiao in the courtyard.

Elder Xiao was sitting sideways to Tian Lin, holding a black Go stone in his hand, deep in thought with furrowed brows.

Xiao Hong, sitting across from him, heard the sound of footsteps and, seeing that it was Tian Lin, her face brightened with a smile as she rose and said, "It's Brother Tian, come in quickly."

The female disciple passed the wind lantern to Tian Lin and then left with a bow.

Tian Lin opened the picket fence gate and entered, first paying respect to Elder Xiao, and then greeted Xiao Hong with a bow, saying:

"I passed by a town on my way back to the sect, where I saw some nice pastries. I brought Sister some osmanthus cakes."

While he handed over the pastries to Xiao Hong, he asked with concern, "Sister, I hope you're feeling better now?"

"Speaking of which, I owe a lot to you, Little Yue, and Brother Lu. Without you all, I'm afraid I would have ended up a human elixir."

Tian Lin glanced at Elder Xiao and told Xiao Hong truthfully, "Sister should truly be thankful to Sister Han and Brother Lu. As for me, I actually lacked the courage to save Sister Xiao."

"Xiao Hong, it's your turn to make a move."

From the beginning to the end, Elder Xiao had not looked up at Tian Lin, as if he had forgotten his promise.

Xiao Hong sat back down while Tian Lin found himself a small stool to sit on nearby.

Two played Go while one watched.

The three sat silently under the moonlight for half an hour when Tian Lin and Xiao Hong suddenly looked up together.

Under the crescent moon, several Flying Boats seemed to emerge from the moon itself, eventually landing at the foot of Baihua Peak.

Xiao Hong could no longer sit still, stirring the black and white stones on the board, saying, "I'm done playing, I'll go down to the kitchen courtyard to see if there's any good food."

Elder Xiao let out a cold huff and said, "Didn't Brother Tian just bring you pastries?"

"How could pastries be enough to fill my stomach? I won't discuss further with you, I'm going down the mountain to look."

As she spoke, she took the wind lantern hanging from the tree branches and vanished from the courtyard in a flash of red.

"Sit down, play a game with me."

At the command of Elder Xiao, Tian Lin somewhat awkwardly said, "This disciple has never learned to play Go."

Elder Xiao's eyebrows rose in a slight arch as he looked at Tian Lin.

He tossed the Go stones into the box and then suddenly asked Tian Lin, "What do you think of your Brother Lu?"

"Brother Lu has a chivalrous heart and does not pride himself on his talent. He is approachable to people. Few among the Outer Disciples have treated me as a fellow disciple as Brother Lu does."

Tian Lin was telling the truth, and after pondering for a moment, he added, "Brother Lu respects his master and values the Dao; Tian Lin is ashamed to compare."

Elder Xiao said, "Yes, that child always listens to me the most. If I tell him to go east, he never goes west."

Not knowing why Elder Xiao was saying this, and unsure of how to respond, Tian Lin was pondering when suddenly Xiao Hong reappeared outside the courtyard.

Xiao Hong burst into the courtyard, her eyes red, and said to Elder Xiao, "Brother Lu is dead."

Elder Xiao showed no surprise, while Tian Lin was a bit shocked. He opened his mouth as if to say something, then seemed to think better of it and remained silent.

Xiao Hong's voice was choked up as she glared at Elder Xiao, "You knew that Brother Lu would commit suicide, didn't you?"

Elder Xiao remained silent, and Xiao Hong angrily said, "You knew he would never return, so why didn't you stop him then?"

"If he was bent on seeking death, who could have stopped him?"

Elder Xiao stood up with a cold laugh, "Moreover, one 'Brother Lu' is dead, I'll just find you another 'Brother Zhang', 'Brother Li'."

Xiao Hong clenched her teeth with anger, "There's only one Brother Lu on Baihua Peak, and there will never be another 'Brother Zhang' or 'Brother Li'."

With that, she stormed out of the Picket Fence Courtyard again, and Elder Xiao called after her, "Where are you going?"

"I will bury Brother Lu outside the door of your bedroom, so he can see what kind of 'Brothers' his master is finding for him after his death."

The quarrel between the grandfather and granddaughter, compounded by the news of Brother Lu's death, made Tian Lin feel that his timing was inopportune.

He bowed his hands and said, "This disciple will visit the elder another day."

Just as he was about to leave, Elder Xiao said, "No need to rush off just yet, Han Yue should be returning soon."

Mentioning Han Yue made Tian Lin feel somewhat awkward.

He held no grudge against the Han Family; his actions in the Han Family town were purely self-defense and killing the Devil Path. But no matter how it's said, he had a part in the annihilation of the Han Family.

Tian Lin wanted to settle things before Han Yue returned, but Elder Xiao clearly had other considerations.

Before long, Han Yue appeared, her clothes stained with blood.

She paid her respects to Elder Xiao in the courtyard, then nodded toward Tian Lin.

From her expression, she seemed to have no grievance against Tian Lin.

Tian Lin couldn't help but recall the Han Family elder mentioning Han Yue's lack of affection for the Han Family.

"You've returned just in time. Among the sect families, only the merchant family remains unaffected."

Elder Xiao said, "The sect intends to investigate the merchant family, and I originally planned to assign this task to your Brother Lu. Now that Brother Lu is dead, you will take over."

Although Han Yue appeared weary, she promptly replied, "This disciple will leave on the mission tomorrow."

Elder Xiao declared, "Since Brother Lu is dead, the Merit Points from killing those two Foundation Establishment members of the Devil Path will be credited to you; including the Merit Points accumulated by Brother Lu and your Brother Tian during this time, all will be added to your tally."

Tian Lin stood by without a word, and assuming Elder Xiao had Tian Lin's consent, Han Yue thanked him first, then asked with some surprise:

"Merit Points are tradable? Is this really against the rules?"
