I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 22: Brother Leopard (Please Follow)
"Manager Xu doesn't want and the leopard to leave him, and I don't want to leave Manager Xu either."
On the hill behind, at this ti, there was only Zhang Laoda and Tian Lin.
He suddenly turned his head to Tian Lin and asked, "Compared to staying and seeking Immortal Techniques, do you prefer to enter Yao Yue Sect even more?"
Tian Lin nodded frankly and said:
"Seeking Immortal Techniques from Manager Xu might be neither successful nor safe. Once in Yao Yue Sect, although servant disciples can't cultivate Immortal Techniques, but having entered the immortal gate, there's always a chance for cultivation."
Zhang Laoda laughed, looking at the evening sun and said aningfully, "Yes, once you've entered the immortal gate, there's always a chance for cultivation—but how great is that chance?"
His smile was sowhat twisted as he told Tian Lin:
"I'll tell you, being a servant disciple in the immortal gate, the odds of becoming an Outer Disciple through cultivation are no higher than the pie falling from the sky."
"I've road the north and south for so many years, seen too many Huahua Lang, heard too many stories."
"The saying at the entrance of Yao Yue Sect - 'Immortals and mortals eternally separated, neither human nor ghost shall enter' - already predetermines that the chance for servant disciples to beco Outer Disciples is extrely slim. Are you willing to do miscellaneous tasks within Yao Yue Sect for a lifeti? How is that different from being a Mine Slave at a rchant's mining site?"
Tian Lin was persuaded by Zhang Laoda and finally relented: "Alright, I won't rush into that immortal gate. I'll first get those Immortal Techniques from Manager Xu's hands before anything else."
Zhang Laoda patted Tian Lin's shoulder and, with his arm around Tian Lin, they walked down the path of the rear mountain. He said:
"I'll go and persuade Manager Xu to make a suggestion to Miss Xiao Yue, since they want to choose those with both strength and talent to join the sect, what better way to show one's ability than a life and death battle?"
"Do you have confidence to win over the leopard?" asked Tian Lin.
Zhang Laoda said, "Manager Xu uses you to control , and a stool to control the leopard. As long as Manager Xu doesn't want the leopard to win, he can't win."
After descending the mountain, Zhang Laoda went to discuss matters with Manager Xu, while Tian Lin took the Soul Burying Flower back to the Supervisor's quarters.
He found that the deeper he cultivated, the more efficient he absorbed the dicinal properties of Holy Essence Grass.
But the deeper he cultivated, the less effective the Holy Essence Grass beca for him.
He could still rely on a sufficient number of Holy Essence Grass to improve his realm and beco a top-tier martial artist in just two short days.
But according to his estimates, once he beca a top-tier martial artist, the effect of Holy Essence Grass would be minimal.
Hoping to use Holy Essence Grass to achieve Grandmaster status as a martial artist had beco extrely difficult.
At night, the Supervisor's dormitory was disturbed by several light sounds.
Finally, Supervisor Liu could not bear it any longer and said, "Liu, if you're not going to practice properly, just go out and supervise those Mine Slaves. Stop disturbing us."
At this point, Da Liu was not afraid of Supervisor Liu at all. He smacked an empty bowl onto the table and said, "None of your business how I do things. If you find it noisy, then you go out and cultivate."
When had Supervisor Liu ever been schooled by a third-rate 'low hand' in such a tone?
He stood up in anger, and reached out to grab Da Liu.
At this mont, both Tian Lin, who had been ditating, and Da Liu got up from their beds.
Da Liu grabbed Supervisor Liu's hand that was reaching for Da Liu's neck, and Tian Lin's blade was drawn towards Supervisor Liu's throat.
"Stop!"
The voice of Zhang Laoda ca from the doorstep, followed closely by a stranger who entered with him.
The man was half a head taller than Zhang Laoda, and his eyes swept over Tian Lin and the others with an intimidating presence.
At that mont, Zhang Laoda said with a laugh to the leopard, "Brother Bao, pardon us, my brothers are a bit hot-tempered and always like to get physical."
Brother Bao didn't speak, only turned his gaze toward the bench on the large sleeping platform.
With a vigorous stride, he approached the bench, his stern expression lting away like ice and snow.
He pulled out a wax paper-wrapped package from his embrace and handed it over the bench with a smile, saying, "Little buddy, guess what delicious treat I've brought you?"
The people in the room looked at each other. Zhang Lao Da, while pulling both Da Liu and Tian Lin behind him, separated Xiao Liu and Liu Dian.
"It's Brother Bao who cares about his own brother, unlike . Even if I passed a few shops, I didn't think to bring back so chicken for my younger brothers."
Zhang Lao Da said jocularly, but no smile could be seen on the bench's face.
If Tian Lin's and Zhang Lao Da's brotherly identities were faked, and the so-called resentnt of the 'younger brother' toward his 'older brother' was staged, then the bench's resentnt towards Brother Bao was genuinely as real as it could get.
"I don't want your things, take them away!" the bench said while slapping the roast chicken from Brother Bao's hand onto the ground. As the chicken slid out of the wax paper and rolled several tis in the dirt, the sound of several people swallowing saliva arose in the room.
But no one went to pick up the chicken on the ground, not even Brother Bao himself.
He simply said, "I left ho very early to seek immortality and beco a Huahua Lang, thinking I could enter the immortal gate and return ho gloriously. Unfortunately, I never succeeded as Huahua Lang, but instead, I practiced martial arts in the worldly society. It was only upon returning ho that I discovered I had a younger brother.
We two brothers have never t, so our relationship isn't good. Back then, you were alone in the village picking wild vegetables to eat, and our parents had long passed away—it's my fault that you suffered so much."
Brother Bao's words stirred sothing in Tian Lin's heart, finding the lines all too familiar.
He turned his gaze toward Zhang Lao Da, only to see Zhang Lao Da giving him a smile.
Tian Lin turned his head and frowned. Zhang Lao Da had obviously copied Brother Bao's script, and it was quite sothing that Manager Xu believed his words.
"Don't worry, with no parents, I, your brother, will help you. Now there's an opportunity to enter the immortal gate, and I will risk everything to help you beco a servant disciple of Yao Yue Sect."
As Brother Bao was speaking, he finally turned his gaze toward the several people in the room.
Under Brother Bao's gaze, Liu Dian's face stiffened, and he lowered his head in sha and anger.
Brother Bao then looked towards Zhang Lao Da, who said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't compete with your brother."
Brother Bao didn't respond, his tiger-like eyes turning to Tian Lin, who said, "I am the weakest here; surely you don't think I could pose a threat to your brother, do you?"
Brother Bao then looked towards the Liu brothers.
Da Liu frowned without speaking, while Xiao Liu was even more infuriated, glaring back.
Just as Brother Bao was about to touch his knife and Zhang Lao Da reached out to pull the Liu brothers, the bench suddenly stood up and said to Brother Bao:
"I don't want you to earn this opportunity for . Since it's such a rare chance, you might as well enter Yao Yue Sect yourself; didn't you beco a Huahua Lang to enter the immortal gate in the first place? Now you have the opportunity to enter, isn't it what you've always wanted?"
Brother Bao quickly sheathed his knife, gently patting the bench's back to make his coughing less severe.
"Big brother has long lost the desire for seeking immortality. No matter what, this chance at the immortal gate must go to you."
"I don't care for the things you give."
The two brothers were quarreling, making the others in the room sowhat embarrassed.
At that mont, the sound of footsteps descending the stairs was heard.
Soon, Manager Xu's voice reprimanded, "What's all this noise about? People can't get any peace in the middle of the night."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, seeing the maidservant nad Xiao Yue standing at the top of the stairs saying to everyone, "Tomorrow's martial competition will decide who will accompany the Young Master into Yao Yue Sect."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu was the first to object, "If things go like this, what about ? Doesn't it an I have absolutely no chance to enter Yao Yue Sect?"
Xiao Yue didn't bother with Xiao Liu. She uttered only one sentence before turning and heading back upstairs.
