I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"What's he doing, coming here to apologize? Does he think apologizing will make me let him off?"

Looking at the invitation in her hand, Elder Wu sneered and tossed it aside.

With a casual wave, Elder Tang Jr. had the invitation fly into his hand instantly. While Elder Tang Jr. read the invitation, Elder Wu had already instructed her maidservant, "Tell him, my family banquet is not something anyone can attend. No need for any apologies, let him stay home and wait; I will settle accounts with him sooner or later!"

The maidservant was about to leave when Elder Tang Jr. quickly raised his hand and said, "Wait!"

The maidservant turned to look at Elder Tang Jr., who said, "When you see Tian Lin, tell him we've accepted the invitation, and there's no need to bring any gifts to the banquet. We all belong to the same sect, there's no need to be so distant."

This statement made Elder Wu dissatisfied.

She slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Elder Tang Jr., "What do you mean? The Dao Artifact fell into your big brother's hands, and you advise me not to fight for it. Now the enemy comes knocking, and you still want to treat them nicely? Tang Zhi, are you deliberately going against me?"

Facing his tigress-like wife, Elder Tang Jr.'s attitude was calm. He softly explained, "Tian Lin is Elder Yu's registered disciple; even if he's not an official disciple, many within the sect are willing to give Elder Yu face.

Besides, if you want to deal with Tian Lin, Elder Xue won't just stand by. Since killing him would be harmful and unbeneficial, why not create a good relationship?

Moreover, bullying the weak and showing strength may lead to criticism. It would be better to show magnanimity and gain a good reputation."

Elder Wu was still dissatisfied; she shook off Elder Tang Jr.:

"In this world, only by showing strength will others fear you. If you act soft and easy to bully, everyone will dare to step on you.

Leaving aside others, just look at your big sister-in-law—if she didn't see you as easy to bully, would she dare to plot for your Dao Artifact? If she didn't see you as easy to talk to, would Meixian dare to kill your eldest son and bully your second one?"

Mentioning the death of his eldest son, Elder Tang Jr.'s face strained slightly.

But he still chose to reason kindly, grabbing Elder Wu's sleeve, "Our Tang Family has already shown enough strength in the sect; now we should treat others kindly. Otherwise, inciting public anger could only breed resentment."

"Hmph, you insist on arguing even when you are called cowardly! Your father is the sect master, you're in the Golden Core Late Stage, what are you afraid of? Whoever dares to complain, just kill them;

After all, there are more people who fear death in this world; just kill all those who aren't afraid, and who would dare oppose you then?"

Elder Tang Jr. was also angry: "Our father isn't in Divinity Transformation! Only someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm can make people afraid to speak; can a late-stage Nascent Soul really suppress those family heads of big aristocratic families?"

"Why are you angry at me? If you're capable, kill that brat Mei and avenge your son. You say the brat Mei has a Nascent Soul grandfather, so I listen to you and leave him alone. But what is Tian Lin? You won't even let me kill him?

If you're capable, get angry at your sister-in-law and make her return our Dao Artifact; yes, since you liked your sister-in-law since childhood, you actually want to offer the Dao Artifact to her son to win her favor? Unfortunately, she has chosen your big brother, looking down on a Golden Core Late Stage loser like you."

Elder Tang Jr. was anxious and snapped at the maidservant, "Leave, and don't spread what was said today, or I'll cut out your tongue."

The maidservant went out, certainly not daring to spread what happened today. She didn't even tell Tian Lin what Elder Wu demanded, which was to reject Tian Lin.

As the maidservant predicted, in a couple of days, Elder Tang Jr. managed to pacify his wife. Elder Wu no longer mentioned not allowing Tian Lin to attend the family banquet, and instead told the maidservant:

"It's good if he comes, we'll first give him some hope, then make him despair."

The family banquet was soon held at Little Bottle Peak, and on this day, all the servant disciples of Wenda Sect at Little Bottle Peak started to hustle.

Though labeled as servant disciples of Wenda Sect, these were actually children born outside by Elder Wu and Elder Tang Jr.

Not just Elder Wu's family, other elders of the Tang Family in the sect had arranged for their relatives and children born outside to be outer disciples or servant disciples.

Are these outer disciples, servant disciples truly qualified, gifted?

The Tang Family didn't care because what mattered to them was loyalty and allegiance!

Other aristocratic families within the sect didn't object because they did the same.

As for those small families that didn't have the privilege to bring their children and relatives into the sect, it didn't matter; nobody cared whether or not they objected.

"That brat still hasn't come?"

As the banquet progressed, Elder Wu, looking radiant, asked the maidservant, who replied, "According to Madam's orders, he's not allowed to drink in the inner room, so he's placed in the outer corner."

Not just the outer corner?

To humiliate Tian Lin, Elder Wu placed him at a table with the servants to dine alone.

Yet, remarkably, Tian Lin did not get angry, instead appearing tolerant and nonchalant.

"Where's Guo'er?"

"The young master is over there too, leading his friends to watch the joke."

After the maidservant spoke, Elder Wu said, "Good, I'll go watch the joke too!"

She left without waiting for the maidservant to follow.

At this point, Elder Tang Jr., having finished talking with others, joined with a wine glass in hand but without a flushed face, clearly not having drunk much.

"Where's Madam?"

"Madam went to the outer room to watch the joke."

Elder Tang Jr. heard her explanation, and his face didn't look good, "After all, she's still an elder, yet behaves so vulgarly? She mocks others, not realizing that other families might be mocking her too?"

After these words, Elder Tang Jr. also headed to the outer room.

The maidservant didn't follow; she quietly told a handy house servant, "Our master inherently has good aptitude and disposition, if only he hadn't encountered such a wife. Being the master here, it's inevitable he'll be annoyed to death eventually!"

By the time Elder Tang Jr. arrived outside, he almost fainted from anger.

His wife's sharp tongue was one thing, but his son was also mocking Tian Lin. Mother and son hurled all sorts of insults at Tian Lin in front of others.

They treated Tian Lin like a monkey, but Elder Tang Jr. could clearly see in others' eyes, their disdain for his wife and son.

So, in reality, his wife and son were being viewed as the joke, yet they were oblivious.

Elder Tang Jr. felt weary; he looked again at Tian Lin and saw Tian Lin displaying poise, possessing a calm and dignified demeanor under humiliation. Yet, the two maidservants beside Tian Lin seemed uneasy.

Just as one maidservant was about to rise and retort, Tian Lin pressed her hand down and stood up, "Elder Wu can insult me, but insulting my master is something I absolutely won't agree to!"

After speaking, he addressed an elder of the Tang Family, "I respectfully request to open the Life and Death Platform and make a life-and-death agreement with Elder Wu."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, thinking Tian Lin was courting death!

A person with early-stage Golden Core cultivation, where did he find the confidence to challenge someone at the Golden Core Middle Stage?
