I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 462: Collateral Damage



Actually, how could Su Shaoqing's sword holder count as Tian Lin's old acquaintance?

But since Zhou Bingsheng's sworn sister said so, Tian Lin did not deny it. He just asked the sword holder of Su Shaoqing, "Didn't you and Su Shaoqing escape from Beiyed County? How did you end up here, and where is Su Shaoqing?"

The female ghost said, "It turns out our actions did not escape Young Master Tian's notice—"

After saying this, she suddenly kneeled before Tian Lin and said, "Your servant begs Young Master Tian to help save my master's life."

Tian Lin did not know what kind of trouble her master had encountered, nor did he understand the dangers lurking behind it.

He had no particular relationship with Su Shaoqing, so why would he agree to help recklessly?

But he did not refuse, instead he said, "Get up first and explain what happened. Who killed you, and what danger does your master face?"

The female ghost dared not delay but did not rise, saying, "My master and I left Beiyed County a few months ago, but regretted it because we couldn't earn any Spirit Stones."

At this point, her face turned red with shame, clearly extremely embarrassed.

Tian Lin said "Hmm," and said, "Although the Su family was in decline at that time, it was still a Golden Core aristocratic family. Your master, having grown up with wealth, did not know the hardships of the human world. When he ventured out on his own, having to manage all living expenses himself, he tasted the difficulties of life. Regret is only natural."

Hearing Tian Lin say so, the female ghost continued, "My master regretted it, but he had no intention of returning to the clan. He just brought me to Beiyed County, intending to retrieve some valuables from the ancestral grave and sell them."

Tian Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at the female ghost, "Ancestral grave, the Su family ancestral grave? How come I've heard that even the Su Family doesn't know where their ancestral grave is hidden?"

The female ghost quickly said, "The precise location of the Su family's ancestral grave is only known to the successive Clan Leaders, even the elders are in the dark—

Back when the Su family was on the verge of decline, the Clan Leader at that time was afraid that after his death the Su family wouldn't be able to guard the ancestral grave. So he lied, saying the grave had collapsed and disappeared with underground currents. In truth, only Su family believed this lie, while others did not."

Tian Lin was merely surprised that the rumors about the ancestral grave didn't match reality, but he wasn't actually interested in the Su family's ancestral grave.

He directly asked the female ghost, "So, your master encountered trouble when he entered the ancestral grave?"

The female ghost wasted no time and said directly, "My master thought only he knew about the existence of the Su family ancestral grave, but Wang Yanyu also knew!

It was just my master's bad luck; he had barely entered the ancestral grave when Wang Yanyu arrived at the Su family ancestral grave and caught him red-handed."

Upon hearing this, Tian Lin frowned, listening to the female ghost grit her teeth and say, "Wang Yanyu may be beautiful, but she's a snake in the grass. My master has been imprisoned by her in the Su family ancestral grave."

Tian Lin didn't think Wang Yanyu was wrong to do so.

Firstly, Su Shaoqing had agreed to marry Wang Yanyu. When the time came, he fled, leaving Wang Yanyu humiliated.

In truth, how could Wang Yanyu not be a match for Su Shaoqing?

With Wang Yanyu's pride, of course, she would seek revenge on Su Shaoqing.

Secondly, Wang Yanyu had already taken control of the Su family and no longer needed Su Shaoqing's help. Now that Su Shaoqing was back, who could say he wouldn't contest power with Wang Yanyu?

Therefore, for the sake of power, Wang Yanyu had a reason to imprison Su Shaoqing.

Thirdly—Wang Yanyu likely married into the Su family for the ancestral grave.

Leaving Su Shaoqing outside, who knew if he would reveal the secret of the Su family's ancestral grave? So, to keep it secret, Su Shaoqing couldn't be left out.

"No wonder Senior Sister Wang managed to advance to late-stage Golden Core in just half a year."

Finishing with this thought, Tian Lin looked at the female ghost, "So you're saying you were killed by Senior Sister Wang."

Unexpectedly, the female ghost shook her head and said, "I was killed by Miss Mei's Divine Lady Tree."

Tian Lin was startled again, but before he could question further, the female ghost said directly, "Master was captured by Wang Yanyu, and the Su family became Wang Yanyu's domain—

The Su family couldn't be relied on, and the old matriarch didn't have the ability to oppose Wang Yanyu. After thinking it over, I decided to seek Miss Mei's help."

Tian Lin was speechless, looking at the female ghost, "Senior Sister Mei and Senior Sister Wang are two peas in a pod. Going to Senior Sister Mei is courting disaster, isn't it?"

The female ghost said, "Miss Mei and Wang Yanyu may have been close before, but that's only because Miss Mei didn't know Wang Yanyu's true nature. As long as I told her the truth, Miss Mei would hate Wang Yanyu to the bone."

"But in the end, you were still killed by Senior Sister Mei."

The female ghost shook her head, "It wasn't Miss Mei who killed me—it's that I didn't gauge my ability, and forced my way into the village to see Miss Mei. I didn't expect Miss Mei's Divine Lady Tree to be so powerful; it killed me as an intruder."

Tian Lin was speechless upon hearing this; it was the first time he'd heard of such a ridiculous cause of death.

"You didn't come to see me today just to tell me how you died, did you?"

The battle nearby was about to end, and Tian Lin was impatient with the female ghost's trivial stories.

The female ghost seemed to notice Tian Lin's impatience and quickly said, "Didn't Young Master Tian come here to find Miss Mei? I know where she is."

"Where is Miss Mei?"

"Miss Mei is inside the ancestral grave in this great mountain!"

Just as she finished speaking, Elder Zhang on the battlefield let out a long howl.

Elder Zhang's horsetail whisk swept down, directly killing Jiang Nu.

Before Tian Lin could celebrate, Elder Zhang's horsetail whisk suddenly swept toward him.

Tian Lin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Actually, with his Golden Core cultivation, if Elder Zhang truly wanted to kill him, how could he dodge Elder Zhang's horsetail whisk?

So when the whisk was about to reach Tian Lin, it suddenly curved and enveloped the Zhou brothers.

Before the Zhou brothers could react, the whisk wrapped around, completely annihilating the group of Evil Spirits.

Tian Lin looked to the side, only to find not only the Zhou brothers were gone, but Su Shaoqing's sword holder was also swept away by the whisk, completely obliterated.

"Elder, why did you attack your own people?"

Elder Zhang spat out blood, then wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "This bunch of Evil Spirits all harbored ill intentions. They intended to borrow a knife to kill someone; now that I've fulfilled their desire, things still didn't go their way!"

In short, Elder Zhang felt at a disadvantage, so he wouldn't let Zhou Bingsheng and his brothers get away unscathed either.

Just as Tian Lin was about to speak again, Elder Zhang continued, "Moreover, that Ghost General Jiang Nu was indeed formidable. To break his grand formation, I sustained some injuries. Now with evil poison invading my body, my strength has reduced by more than ninety percent.

If I don't kill those brothers soon, if Zhou Bingsheng and the Evil Spirits try to take advantage of the situation, who among us can withstand it?"

In short, Elder Zhang felt he couldn't suppress Zhou Bingsheng and his group anymore, so he decided to eliminate those troublemakers early. Better to be safe than sorry if they countered after he let his guard down.

As for whether there would be wrongful deaths? Elder Zhang didn't care at all.

"Elder's action is quite appropriate, but under no circumstances should you have killed a ghost who knew where the Goddess was."
