I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 136 117: Tian Lin's Promise and Elder Xiao's Doubts

The Flying Boat descended at the waist of Heart Inquiry Mountain, and Elder Xiao shrank the Flying Boat with a gesture, tucking it into his Storage Bag before striding towards the Heart Inquiry Hall.

Elder He followed uninterestedly at the rear, flanked by two elders from the Heart Inquiry Sect 'escorting' him in the middle.

Qi Refiners like Tian Lin walked in the center, silently following Elder He up the steps.

When they reached the entrance of the Heart Inquiry Hall, Tian Lin saw the gathered disciples of the Heart Inquiry Sect from the other day.

He noticed a few disciples immediately drew their swords and approached upon seeing Elder He appear.

The leading Great Elder of the Heart Inquiry Sect's face darkened, scolding them: "No discipline. If you want revenge, wait until we finish discussing our affairs."

Elder He in the lead raised his eyebrows and after sweeping a glance over the Great Elder's face, stepped briskly into the Heart Inquiry Hall.

"Senior Brother Zhou, it's been over a hundred years since we last parted. Seeing you today as spirited as always is truly delightful."

Sect Leader Zhou, who had been paying respects to the ancestral statue, turned around and, after returning Elder Xiao's salute, invited Elder Xiao to take a seat next to him.

Tian Lin glanced at the divine image of Zhou Shoufan enshrined in the Heart Inquiry Hall, then twisted his head to look at Zhong Wujie, who was tightly bound.

It was fortunate that Zhong Wujie's mouth was stuffed, otherwise Tian Lin truly feared he would say something outrageous about the stone image of Zhou Shoufan.

"Elder Brother He, that day your one sword strike killed my sixth junior brother. The grace of that sword I still admire daily, and dare not ever forget," said Sect Leader Zhou, greeting the incoming elder with an open palm.

Elder He, upon hearing Sect Leader Zhou's words thought he was being praised, couldn't help but smugly raise his eyebrows and said:

"I'm not bragging, but across the entire Yulong Continent, no one but I can wield that sword strike; for the sake of mastering that Sword Qi, I killed my father and master... I killed so many—"

"That's enough, Elder Brother He, why don't you take a seat and rest for a while,"

Elder Xiao's face darkened as he snapped from his seat.

Elder He chuckled and languidly pulled over a stool, sitting in the corner.

With all the elders seated, there was only Tian Lin and a few other Qi Refiners who still lacked the qualifications to sit.

Tian Lin was originally planning to stand, but Sect Leader Zhou all of a sudden turned his gaze to Tian Lin, then to the lady in white: "Fuping, get a stool for Disciple Tian to sit."

As these words were voiced, not only were Zhao's senior brother and Han Yue surprised, even Elder Xiao couldn't help but look at Tian Lin curiously.

Zhao's senior brother and Han Yue knew that Tian Lin had been assigned to a premium letter-marked room, but they had no clue about the opportunities it held, let alone Tian Lin's inheritance.

And Junior Brother Jiang had been requested to return to the Heart Inquiry Sect to discuss Elixir Recipes before Tian Lin had even left the premium room, leaving Elder Xiao even more in the dark about Tian Lin's experiences.

"Disciple's cultivation—"

Tian Lin was about to be modest when the lady in white already beckoned a chair from the corner 'thump' next to her and told Tian Lin: "If you're told to sit, then sit. Why feign modesty?"

Tian Lin, not feeling awkward, proceeded to bow to the several elders present before retaking his seat.

Soon after, Zhou Shichou entered from outside to pour tea.

While tea was being served, Sect Leader Zhou looked at Elder Xiao: "Elder Brother Xiao, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

Elder Xiao thought for a moment and replied: "Back then, I was out with Master Liu and Junior Brother Xing for life experience when we encountered you, Senior Brother Zhou, at an ancient tomb."

Sect Leader Zhou nodded, his face filled with reminiscence:

"Yes, back then, we were both young, merely twelfth-tier Qi Refiners, each

The Heart Inquiry Pill recipe is indeed precious, but Elder Xiao's promise was also not so simple.

Now at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, even Xing Tongtian cannot command him.

Having made a promise to devote life-and-death effort in the future, if the Heart Inquiry Sect were to be a bit shameless, Elder Xiao, a man who cares about his reputation, might be restricted for a very long period.

"Good, if Brother Xiao is willing to give me the Heart Inquiry Pill recipe, that is of course the best outcome."

Sect Leader Zhou, regardless of Elder Xiao's displeased expression, shifted his angle of discourse and said: "But instead of Brother Xiao's promise, I want the commitment from nephew Tian—a promise that when the Heart Inquiry Sect seeks aid in the future, Tian will be ready to dev

ote his life once."

Hearing this, Elder Xiao lifted his head in surprise, looking towards Tian Lin, unable to suppress the doubt in his eyes.

Is his own promise really so worthless?

Since when had Tian Lin's promises become so valuable?
