I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Then many thanks to the elder for his kindness!"

Shang Yu was not at all dispirited by Elder Wu Hen's cunning tactics. Instead, he looked at Tian Lin, sneering, "Tian, you went to Cangzhou and got rich? Now you even have Foundation Establishment cultivation."

Tian Lin could hear the sarcasm and asked Shang Yu, "What's the situation on Yulong Continent now?"

"Oh, so you still remember Yulong Continent. I thought you'd get rich and forget about it entirely."

Tian Lin didn't care about the mockery. Strictly speaking, he wasn't really from Yulong Continent, and he had no obligation to help it.

Moreover, how long had he been away from Yulong Continent? He had issues surviving at the time; how could he help Yulong Continent?

Not to mention him, even Zhou Shoufan in the Nascent Soul Realm, could he help Yulong Continent?

One must understand that Yulong Continent had long been beyond what a thousand-year-old wood could cross.

To allow people of Yulong Continent to cross Immortal Sinking Pond, it's essential to deal with the Immortal Sword within it, making the Sword Qi stop blocking the sea passage between the two continents.

"I didn't get rich, but you seem to strike gold."

"Alright, what are you two babbling on about?"

Elder Wu Hen ignored the grudges between them, listened in briefly, and directly interrupted, "I'm planning to enter Sword Pavilion, any suggestions from you two?"

Elder Wu Hen didn't want the Immortal Sword to fall into others' hands. Though he didn't believe Sword Pavilion had secrets for the sword to recognize an owner, he held onto a thread of hope.

Though he asked for Tian Lin and Shang Yu's advice, he was actually only looking at Shang Yu.

After all, Tian Lin had already passed through once. If he had a way, he'd have taken the Immortal Sword and run.

"On my way here, I heard the retainers at Chen Xian Inn say Tian Lin had already cleared Sword Pavilion. If the elder wants to know how to pass through Sword Pavilion, shouldn't he ask Tian Lin?"

Shang Yu then asked Elder Wu Hen, "An elder with Nascent Soul cultivation shouldn't be concerned about mere Spirit Stones and Elixir. Why waste time here in Sword Pavilion, which is meant for Qi Refiners?"

Elder Wu Hen suspected Shang Yu was pretending to be ignorant. He snorted coldly and spoke to Sect Master Wu, "Does Sect Master also wish to try his luck?"

Sect Master Wu nodded and said, "I'm not particularly interested in the Immortal Sword, but I am intrigued by this Sword Pavilion."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in an instant, evidently already inside Sword Pavilion.

Elder Wu Hen didn't hurry, instead instructed the retainers, "Take good care of these two young friends. We don't want people thinking our Chen Xian Inn doesn't know how to treat guests."

It wasn't really about taking care of Tian Lin and Shang Yu. Clearly, Elder Wu Hen didn't trust them and wanted the retainers to monitor them.

With the retainers accepting the order, Elder Wu Hen entered Sword Pavilion again.

Once Elder Wu Hen went in, Tian Lin secretly communicated with Shang Yu, "Can passing through Sword Pavilion really make the Immortal Sword recognize an owner?"

Shang Yu sneered, not communicating secretly with Tian Lin, but openly mocking before the retainer, "You want the Immortal Sword to recognize an owner? Give it up. You're not a Sword Cultivator and have no talent in Sword Dao."

Tian Lin frowned, continuing to communicate secretly with Shang Yu, "You want the Immortal Sword to recognize you as its owner, I can help."

His words were half true, a test for Shang Yu.

Shang Yu laughed, still not communicating secretly, and sarcastically said in front of the retainer, "You think I need your help? I know nothing about the Immortal Sword and have no interest in it."

Tian Lin frowned, looking at Shang Yu's expression, which did not seem like jest.

Could it be, Shang Yu truly came to Sword Pavilion just to earn Spirit Stones, unrelated to the Immortal Sword?

No, Shang Yu was not the kind with shallow temperament.

Even if Shang Yu disliked Tian Lin, hated him, he wouldn't try so hard to provoke him.

Tian Lin remembered that when he killed Shang Yu's beloved maid, Shang Yu could still endure and reconcile.

In summary, Shang Yu was not someone led by emotions. No matter how angry, he wouldn't express emotions like a shrew.

"That's my presumption then. Let's stay here and wait for Elder Wu Hen and Sect Master Wu to bring good news."

Tian Lin smiled, raised a hand to bring a chair over from afar, and sat leisurely waiting.

He truly didn't care who obtained the Immortal Sword, preferring it was Wu Xilai who got it.

If Wu Xilai obtained the Immortal Sword, with his sect master's demeanor, he might help Tian Lin return to Immortal Sinking Pond.

But if Shang Yu got the Immortal Sword, Tian Lin worried Shang Yu might immediately kill him.

Tian Lin remained patient, Shang Yu also appeared composed.

The two sat quietly outside Sword Pavilion, under the watch of the Chen Xian Inn retainer, for an entire afternoon.

Fortunately, Chen Xian Inn provided food, as long as they didn't leave Sword Pavilion's range, they were free in actions.

By evening, Wu Xilai left Sword Pavilion, but Elder Wu Hen showed no sign of giving up.

He went in and out of Sword Pavilion multiple times, from initial confusion to later irritability, and now some hidden complacency.

He drank tea and told the retainer, "I now have figured out the trick, and after a few more times, I'll acquire the Immortal Sword."

Tian Lin, surprised, congratulated Elder Wu Hen with Shang Yu, "Wishing Elder Wu Hen success!"

Success was elusive, as Elder Wu Hen entered three more times, all in vain.

However, Elder Wu Hen showed no hint of discouragement, instead, gleeful, boasting, "I am confident and soon will have the Immortal Sword. After getting it, I'll take you both away!"

Tian Lin and Shang Yu naturally offered congratulations again.

Tian Lin thought, this outcome wasn't bad. Sword Sect and Wenda Sect though not closely tied, both were among the immortal disciples, Elder Wu Hen had no reason to harm him.

In summary, it's impossible for him to obtain the Immortal Sword himself. Plus, he wasn't that interested in it.

He glanced at Shang Yu again, whose face remained calm without any hint.

It seemed Shang Yu truly didn't care if Elder Wu Hen got the Immortal Sword.

Tian Lin suspected his previous guess was wrong. Shang Yu really came to Sword Pavilion merely for Spirit Stones, not seeking to make the Immortal Sword recognize him.

This time, Elder Wu Hen stayed in Sword Pavilion for a long time without appearing.

Tian Lin waited for an hour, then couldn't help saying, "Has the elder already left with the Immortal Sword?"

Addressing both Shang Yu and the retainer of Chen Xian Inn.

The retainer frowned too, he still had no idea what kind of Immortal Sword it was. And what kind of departure was said.

The retainer was more confused than Tian Lin and Shang Yu, only able to shake his head cluelessly.

Shang Yu sneered, "Seems Elder Wu Hen doesn't want to take us with him. Perhaps the chance to leave here is singular — he was falsely promising us before!"

As soon as he finished, a voice sounded, "Has the Immortal Sword recognized an owner?"

Tian Lin didn't need to turn to know it was Listening Rain Master.

Tian Lin glanced at Listening Rain Master, thinking this man had great patience.

According to Tian Lin's speculation, Listening Rain Master should have arrived earlier.

After all, Listening Rain Master is hiding, impossible to be unaware of Sect Master Wu and Elder Wu Hen's presence at Sword Pavilion, nor of Tian Lin's own presence.

With a little guesswork, it could be told they were certainly after the Immortal Sword.

And Listening Rain Master wished to be the sword's owner too, otherwise, he would have joined Tian Lin in entering Chen Xian Inn back then.

"You're likely too late."

Tian Lin spoke to Listening Rain Master.
