I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 441 - 400: Facing Elder Wu on the Life and Death Pla

Apparently, Elder Xue had a fairly good impression of Tang Zhi; his introduction of Tang Zhi to Elder i was laced with a sense of regret for Tang Zhi’s misfortune.

However, Elder i didn’t care whether Tang Zhi was good or bad; he was here to stand up for his granddaughter and to plan for her future safety.

If i Xianfu beca a True Disciple, she wouldn’t be soone that could be easily bullied within the Wenda Sect, unlike this ti.

"By the way, when the incident happened, what did that kid Tian Lin do?"

With the main business discussed, Elder i now found leisure to consider other matters.

He placed great importance on how Tian Lin handled situations; it’s the best way to evaluate whether Tian Lin was trustworthy.

"Tian Lin now has Early Stage Golden Core Cultivation. During Elder Wu’s family banquet, he challenged Elder Wu to a life-and-death duel."

Elder i frowned after taking a sip of tea, not because he was surprised that Tian Lin had reached the Golden Core Realm, but because Tian Lin had initiated a life-and-death duel with Elder Wu.

From the gathered information about Elder Wu, and from what he saw firsthand, Elder i was convinced that Elder Wu possesses Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation.

Moreover, although Elder Wu isn’t from a major aristocratic family, he is still of aristocratic descent. In the Golden Core Realm, he reportedly holds six Dao Seeds, not a person to be underestimated.

How many Dao Seeds does Tian Lin have to dare contend with a mid-stage Golden Core Elder?

"What backup plan does Tian Lin have?"

Elder i thought Tian Lin was not a reckless person.

But Elder Xue shook his head and said, "I don’t know about that either, but since Brother Yu is willing to take Tian Lin as a registered disciple, there must be sothing extraordinary about him."

Because of this belief, Elder Xue tended to be particularly lenient towards Tian Lin.

After all, although Elder Xue called Elder Yu brother, in fact, Elder Yu is at least a generation older than him. If Elder Yu were willing to take the position of Sect Master of Wenda Sect, he would have long been revered on the ancestral master’s tablet.

——

"On the Life and Death Platform, you cannot use lethal force against Tian Lin."

Back in the cave mansion, Tang Zhi spoke out regardless of Elder Wu’s displeased expression.

Elder Wu’s expression changed, she slamd the teacup down: "If I can’t kill him, then what’s the point of the Life and Death Platform? Just to have a wrestling match?"

Tang Zhi replied, "Elder i is here. Would he allow you to kill Tian Lin? If he doesn’t care for Tian Lin’s life, would he still not worry that Tian Lin’s death might implicate his granddaughter’s life?"

"Well, that’s just perfect. I’ve been wanting his granddaughter dead. Killing Tian Lin can also let his granddaughter die; isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?"

"Whether you want to kill Tian Lin or i Xianfu—the other elders of the sect won’t allow it, Elder Xue won’t allow it."

"The Wenda Sect now belongs to the Tang family; it’s neither for the other elders nor for the Xues!"

Elder Wu didn’t intend to engage in pointless argunts with Tang Zhi anymore. Before her father-in-law beca the Sect Master of Wenda Sect, she already had a fiery personality and never hesitated.

Now that her father-in-law is the Sect Master of Wenda Sect, what more does she have to fear?

Watching his wife leave in a huff, Tang Zhi chased after her.

But reaching the cave mansion, he overheard the conversations between his wife and child outside.

"Mom, I heard Dad intends for to marry that girl from the i family."

After Tang Haoran spoke, his mother’s voice, Elder Wu, sounded: "Guo’er, do you think that i girl is good? She has a Nascent Soul grandfather, and her talent is not bad—"

Although i Xianfu’s status and talent were indeed appealing to Elder Wu, her son’s next words instantly dispelled the idea.

"That woman is too unruly. I’m afraid marrying her would bring chaos to the family!"

Elder Wu had already seen i Xianfu’s temperant and had many dissatisfactions with her. Upon hearing her son speak this way, she naturally nodded in agreent.

"Alright, let’s not take that i woman. Bringing her into our house would surely be a disaster!"

"What about Dad?"

"You don’t need to worry about your father or listen to him. He’s timid and afraid of trouble; in the sect from now on, your mother will make all the decisions for you."

Tang Haoran cheerfully agreed and happily departed.

Little did the mother and daughter know, Tang Zhi inside the room was so enraged that he clenched his iron fists tightly.

——

The scheduled ti for Tian Lin’s life-and-death duel with Elder Wu was soon, almost the day after Elder Wu settled in, the Life and Death Platform competition officially began.

"Do you have confidence in winning?"

Elder i looked at Tian Lin, asking him if he was confident not in killing Elder Wu, but if he was confident in winning.

Unfortunately, Tian Lin did not give a definite response, instead saying, "Disciple has no confidence."

i Xianfu beside him chuckled with anger: "I used to say he’s timid and afraid of trouble, now it seems I was wrong. This man, simply doesn’t know life and death."

Elder i also thought Tian Lin was oblivious, but it wasn’t the ti to berate him.

Recalling Tian Lin’s ability to enter and leave the Fairy Cave unscathed, Elder i pushed himself to believe in Tian Lin.

Unexpectedly, before going on stage, Tian Lin whispered to Elder i: "Senior, if I’m in danger later, please do save my life."

Elder i’s mouth twitched, yet he nodded. Now, he was convinced Tian Lin himself had no confidence in winning—but knowing he lacked a certain victory, why step onto the platform, to embarrass himself?

"The life-and-death contract is signed, with ancestral masters as witnesses. Wu Xuepiao of the Wu family and Tian Lin have established this deadly pact due to personal grievances. Today, regardless of who lives or dies, it’s their own choice, unrelated to others. Both the Wu and Tian families must not retaliate privately."

The Nascent Soul-level elder hosting this Life and Death Platform duel was an elder nad Zhang, also of aristocratic origin. However, while he was traveling, his family was cursed, leading to the death of all clan mbers except him.

Moreover, this curse destined him to be a lone star of calamity; even if he had offspring, they’d die from the curse’s backlash.

Therefore, within the sect, he was always solitary, with no one getting close to him, nor did he get close to anyone.

Having him preside made the duel appear quite fair on the surface—

"Elder Wu, Tian Lin, are both of you ready?"

Placing the life-and-death contract before the ancestral master’s statue, Elder Zhang looked at the two below the platform without expression.

Once he saw them nod, he raised his right hand: "Then, both of you please step onto the platform!"

Elder Wu didn’t waste words; with a swift movent, she stood on the high stage. Her white clothes fluttered, making her appear graceful, and catching everyone’s eyes.

It’s widely known that female cultivators achieving the Golden Core Realm are nurous, but compared to male cultivators, the proportion is considerably lower.

Thus, female cultivators reaching the Golden Core Realm, especially beautiful ones, always draw additional glances.

But male cultivators, especially those in the Golden Core Early Stage, appear rather ordinary.

Thus, when Tian Lin went on stage, the crowd scrutinized him.

Beyond sa-gender exclusion, it was because Tian Lin was reportedly Elder Yu’s registered disciple—

Though most people hadn’t seen Elder Yu, they knew he was like a patriarch. What kind of wonders does a person of such stature’s registered disciple hold?
