I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

How could anyone else easily show off their Magical Treasure to the public?

But Xing Shanping was different. He had neither suspicion nor concern that Tian Lin might have any ulterior motives.

With a slap of his right hand, a rope appeared in his grasp.

With a casual toss, the rope passed through the gaps in the iron bars, deftly landing on Tian Lin's wooden bed.

Tian Lin picked up the rope, about a zhang long, giving it a tug before taking out his flying sword to poke at it.

From the cell next door, Xing Shanping had no idea what Tian Lin was trying to find out, and offhandedly said,

"There are a total of five Binding Immortal Ropes; two are in our Yao Yue Sect, and one in the Heart Inquiry Sect. Besides these, both the Bai Sheng Sect and Artifact Sect originally had one each, but they were severed in a battle."

"What about the severed Binding Immortal Ropes?"

After asking, Tian Lin heard Xing Shanping speak: "The Binding Immortal Ropes can only be used to restrain disciples in the Qi Refinement Realm; they have no other use and are not incredible treasures. Who would care about a broken rope?"

Tian Lin felt the origin of the Binding Immortal Rope might not be so simple. Otherwise, the old man from the Three Talents Pavilion wouldn't have been that surprised.

But he also knew quite well that, even if the Binding Immortal Rope had any secrets, they would be beyond Xing Shanping's knowledge.

Unable to penetrate the mystery of the rope in his hands, he could only return Xing Shanping's Binding Immortal Rope.

At this moment, only the sound of dripping water echoed in the cave, occasionally accompanied by the painful moans of unidentified people.

Xing Shanping wasn't much of a talker, same as Tian Lin.

Who knows how long passed when Tian Lin, deep in sleep, was awakened by a 'clang' sound.

He rose from the wooden board, opening his eyes to see Shang Yu outside the iron door.

Only to hear Shang Yu sneer, "You seem to be sleeping sweetly, one would hardly know that our Law Enforcement Hall has invited you over for your rest."

Tian Lin stretched lazily and replied with a smile,

"You know, Brother Shang, perhaps I've cultivated for too long on Dao Seeking Mountain, for it's been a while since I've slept this well. I feel completely refreshed upon waking up."

"I wonder how long you can keep up this tough act."

After stating this, Shang Yu asked Tian Lin,

"Tell me, when did Elder Liu teach you the Heart Inquiry Skill? What did he tell you, and where is he now—if you tell me everything, I will let you out immediately."

"My master taught me the Heart Inquiry Skill a long time ago. He didn't say anything special to me, and it's impossible for me to know his whereabouts.

Brother Shang, do you really think a person like my master would share secrets I'm not supposed to know with me?

You know this kind of thing is impossible, so don't waste your effort."

Shang Yu's face was expressionless, and Tian Lin unknown what Shang Yu might be thinking.

It was then, Xing Shanping in the adjacent room suddenly stood up:

"I thought Tian had committed some offense to be captured. Turns out, you're just using him to persecute the Great Elder."

In the midst of speaking, Xing Shanping stood up and quickly approached the iron door, rebuking Shang Yu,

"Shang Yu, I must have been blind back when I appointed you as a Law Enforcement Disciple of our peak. Now that you have control of the Law Enforcement Hall, it has become your tool to oppress the virtuous.

Think about the sect rules, think about the principles of our Law Enforcement Hall—aren't you afraid of its destruction by your hands?"

Shang Yu was stunned, and Tian Lin a little astonished.

Shang Yu had come to press Tian Lin, but before he could, Xing Shanping berated him.

And that was not the end.

In the movement, Xing Shanping's handcuffs and fetters rattled loudly.

Then, Xing Shanping grabbed the iron bars, and under his pull, there were signs that the thick bars were deforming.

Shang Yu frowned and admonished, "Elder Xing, as the former Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, are you planning to lead a prison break?"

Such words couldn't intimidate an ordinary person, but they somehow caused Xing Shanping to halt.

Xing Shanping stopped shaking the iron bars and rebuked Shang Yu from within his cell, "Go call the Sect Leader, I want to ask what he's really up to. Why is he so determined to persecute the Great Elder!"

Shang Yu looked a bit unsightly and ignored Xing Shanping, instead turning to warn Tian Lin,

"Tian, why don't you cherish your own life with your extraordinary talents in cultivation? I advise you to confess everything honestly, do not make a grave mistake."

Seeing that Tian Lin still had nothing to offer, Shang Yu lost interest in chatting further, only instructing Zhao Si who came with him,

"Guard this cave well, if anyone visits, they must not be allowed near Tian Lin."

Zhao Si immediately bowed and assured Shang Yu, "Don't worry, Hall Master Shang, I'll make sure no one gets close to the Tian surname."

As he spoke, Zhao Si shuffled to see off Shang Yu, and then returned after a short while.

"Well, how times change, Zhao, you seem to be ever more valued by Brother Shang."

Tian Lin sat back on the bunk in the cell, watching Zhao Si outside the iron door with a smile.

Yet Zhao Si, still bowing, was incredibly polite to the prisoner Tian Lin,

"It's all thanks to your blessing, Brother Tian, that I have achieved the sixth layer of Qi Refinement. Indeed, what Hall Master Shang said is correct - with your brilliant talent, you have limitless prospects, so why suffer for Elder Liu?"

Tian Lin asked him, "Are you sent by Brother Shang to persuade me?"

Zhao Si quickly replied, "You misunderstand, Brother Tian. If even Hall Master Shang can't manage it, how could I?

Don't think of me as a Law Enforcement Disciple sent to watch over you, but as the same junior brother who served you at the mining school.

If there's anything you want to eat or drink, just order me to get it, please don't be shy."
