I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 445 - 407 Test
Since Elder Tang beca the Sect Master of Wenda Sect, he no longer resides at Lili Peak.
The Peak Master at Lili Peak is now Elder Tang Zhi.
However, Elder Tang Zhi often handles business at Wenda Peak due to his father being the Sect Master.
The daily affairs at Lili Peak are mostly overseen by Tang Zhi.
When Elder i arrived at Lili Peak, he was surprised to see Tang Zhi in mourning clothes dealing with the peak’s affairs.
After all, the immortal gate is a vast and noble place for seeking immortality and Tao. It’s fine to leave mundane affairs to ordinary people. Besides, Tang Zhi is grieving his wife; why must sothing be handled personally by him?
However, Elder i did not co to inquire about this matter; he ca to test Tang Zhi’s attitude towards Tian Lin and i Xianfu. He wanted to make sure that after he left, Tang Zhi would not use private grievances to retaliate against Tian Lin and i Xianfu.
"I won’t say words of condolence; instead, I will offer incense to your wife!"
Honestly speaking, visiting at this mont without the identity of a relative or friend seed sowhat impolite.
First, Elder i had no ti to wait for Elder Wu’s mourning period to end.
Secondly, he wanted to see if Tang Zhi would be angered to the point of overturning tables.
But to Elder i’s disappointnt, Tang Zhi showed no sign of anger, treating him just like the others who ca to offer condolences.
After thanking him, he invited Elder i to follow him to the mourning hall.
The small mourning hall was adorned in white, with a black coffin placed in the center.
In front of the coffin, besides Tang Haoran kneeling, there were several won who sowhat resembled Elder Wu.
These won looked at Elder i in confusion, clearly not recognizing him.
But Tang Haoran recognized Elder i; he showed no fear despite Elder i being a Nascent Soul Powerhouse. Standing up, he said: "What are you here for? Are you here to eradicate ? Fine, co kill !"
As he spoke, he walked towards Elder i but was pulled back by his father.
With a stern face, Tang Zhi said, "Guo’er, do not be so disrespectful in front of the elder!"
Tang Haoran’s resentnt towards Tang Zhi seed no less than that towards Tian Lin and Elder i. With a flick of his right hand, he tore the poor-quality mourning robe sleeve with a ripping sound.
Among the won kneeling behind him, a young lady quickly stepped forward and said: "Haoran, don’t confront uncle at a ti like this."
Hearing the young lady speak, Elder i could roughly guess the identity of these won.
But his attention was fully focused on Tang Zhi, who, after Tang Haoran’s sleeve tore, grabbed his hand again and said sternly:
"Guo’er, did you not hear Elder Zhang’s words on the stage, when those involved signed the Life and Death Platform agreent? All consequences due to personal grievances are borne by oneself, with no bla on others.
Today, Tian Lin won, so your mother died. If your mother had won, then Tian Lin would be the one lying in the mourning hall;"
Tang Haoran angrily asked Tang Zhi, "My mother died, and you do not avenge her. When I seek revenge, you stop ; what do your words an?"
"If you want revenge, duel Tian Lin on the Life and Death Platform; I will not stop you! But if you fight him privately, then it’s inter-sect conflict among disciples, and I will never agree to it."
Elder Wu died at Tian Lin’s hands, and Tang Haoran lacked confidence in being able to kill Tian Lin.
"You think I don’t dare?"
"You perhaps dare, perhaps not! But regardless of your actions, you are still my son."
Tang Zhi said, "If you win, I will celebrate with you. If you lose, I will offer wine at the mourning hall for you."
His words made Tang Haoran’s face flush with anger, and even Elder i was surprised at Tang Zhi’s character.
He wondered whether Tang Zhi was truly expressing his sentints or was being shrewdly disloyal.
Tian Lin had once suspected that Elder Wu’s death was orchestrated by Tang Zhi.
But such speculation remained speculation, without any evidence.
If Tian Lin’s suspicion were correct, then Tang Zhi truly had a deep and inscrutable nature, warranting vigilance!
If Tian Lin’s suspicion were wrong—then Tang Zhi, though perhaps not a friend, need not be an enemy either.
"Aside from paying respects to your wife today, I have another matter to inquire about."
Perhaps guessing Elder i’s intentions, Tang Zhi lifted his sleeve, took a stick of incense from a maid, and handed it to Elder i.
Elder i initially planned to use words in front of Tang Zhi’s son to stir further conflict in their relationship.
But Tang Zhi clearly did not want to further sadden his son, interrupting Elder i’s discourse intentionally.
This did not anger Elder i; on the contrary, he felt that Tang Zhi was exhibiting the deanor of a normal father.
The earlier words about celebrating victory and mourning defeat bewildered not just Tang Haoran but also Elder i.
As Elder i placed three incense sticks into the incense burner, knowing Tang Haoran wouldn’t express gratitude, Tang Zhi, dressed in mourning clothes, acted as the family representative to acknowledge Elder i.
Then he lifted a hand and said to Elder i, "It’s noisy here; please co with to the study to talk!"
Despite being at the late Golden Core stage and an elder of Wenda Sect, Tang Zhi’s residence seed rather simple, appearing uninterested in material matters.
Elder i followed Tang Zhi into the study, where Tang Zhi glanced at a morial tablet.
The tablet read ’In mory of the late Tang mother Ai Ruren, courtesy na Xiangxiang.’
Beside the tablet was an incense burner, with incense smoke curling out.
Elder i recalled that Ai Xiangxiang was Tang Zhi’s biological mother, who passed away many years ago.
"Elder, have so tea."
Tang Zhi circled behind the desk and poured a bowl of hot tea from a kettle.
Elder i noticed the kettle was a Magic Artifact, capable of keeping the water in the tea warm indefinitely.
But the tea leaves inside were the most ordinary type possible.
"Was Young Friend Tang interested in dicine?"
Elder i sipped the tea and asked.
Tang Zhi glanced at the books in the study and explained, "I was once very interested in the Alchemy Dao, which stems from dicinal philosophy, so I studied dicine for so ti. Unfortunately, my talent was lacking, with no skills in the Alchemy Dao, ultimately having to give it up."
It seed true, as though there were many dical books on the shelves, they had long shown no signs of being read.
"You’re here regarding i Xianfu becoming a True Disciple, aren’t you?"
Tang Zhi imdiately pointed out Elder i’s purpose and said, "This matter is settled; Elder Zhang on the Life and Death Platform is willing to take i Xianfu as a Closed-door Disciple."
Elder i rembered Elder Zhang, who was a Nascent Soul stage elder.
By reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one could accept Closed-door Disciples. Such disciples held high status in the sect, above Inner Sect Disciples as True Disciples.
"Does Elder Zhang have no disciples?"
The quota for True Disciples was limited, as most were reluctant to accept them.
Who would willingly impart their cherished skills to others, unless they were their offspring?
"Elder Zhang had a Closed-door Disciple who passed away recently—just when he witnessed i Xianfu’s duel and recognized her exceptional talent, so he’s willing to accept her as a True Disciple."
