Chapter 503: Chapter 465 Discussion

Whether Mei Xianfu was harmed by Wang Yanyu, or whether Su Shaoqing’s sword holder was lying, Tian Lin couldn’t be sure of any of it.

So, whether Wang Yanyu was a friend or foe, Tian Lin did not know.

Instead of guessing with effort, it would be better to let her explain directly.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Wang Yanyu, and she said, "I do indeed know the Su family tomb, but the secret of the Su family tomb was told to me by Su Shaoqing."

As soon as these words came out, the elders of the Su family exploded.

"Isn’t Su Shaoqing dead? When did he tell you the secret of the Su family tomb?"

Wang Yanyu said, "Just before the flying locust incident, he was desperate, so he took the sword holder to the tomb to steal and sell things, and I caught him red-handed."

"Nonsense, the family tomb is the forbidden ground of the Su family. Since Su Shaoqing was the young clan leader of the Su family, how could he do such a treacherous thing against his ancestors?"

Someone questioned Wang Yanyu: "I think you are the one lying!"

There were also those more concerned about Su Shaoqing’s whereabouts, directly asking Wang Yanyu: "Where is Su Shaoqing now?"

Wang Yanyu did not hide anything, candidly saying: "I locked him in the Su family tomb, and now he’s dead."

"You killed your own husband, the young clan leader of the Su family?"

Wang Yanyu’s aura was even stronger than that of the questioning Su family elder. She looked at the elder and said:

"Su Shaoqing reneged on his marriage midway, abandoned his wife and mother. He is unworthy as a husband, unworthy as a son; how does he deserve to be my husband?

Being a descendant of the Su family, he did not think of reviving the Su family’s prestige with the clan members, only indulged in debauchery. In the end, he only took a maidservant out to revel nightly, ignoring the difficulties within the clan—can such a person carry the position of the Su family’s young clan leader?"

No one could defend Su Shaoqing, nor did it seem necessary to defend him.

Immediately, an elder pointedly said: "Even though he is a thousand kinds of wrongs, it should still be the entire clan who justly punishes him, not you alone making such unilateral decisions—Wang Yanyu, tell us the location of the Su family tomb, and from now on, you should rest in the mansion to recuperate in peace."

Wang Yanyu was not ill, why should she rest for illness?

In the end, these elders wanted to seize power in the chaos.

But Wang Yanyu was unafraid, turning to Monk Kongwu and asking: "Master, do I look like someone who is ill?"

Kongwu shook his head and said humbly: "This monk has inadequate cultivation and cannot see any signs of illness in Miss Wang—these days, I have often troubled Miss Wang with matters inside and outside the city, truly feeling ashamed."

Wang Yanyu smiled sweetly and said: "Master did not see wrong, I am certainly not ill. These Su family elders want to seize my power, so they are forcibly declaring me ill."

Monk Kongwu was utterly puzzled, saying: "If Miss Wang is not ill, how can they make you ill?"

The Su family elder on the other side did not want Kongwu to interfere, simply saying: "Master Kongwu, you are a monk, better to meditate quietly and stay out of other people’s family affairs."

Kongwu nodded, seemingly agreeing with the elder’s rationale.

But Wang Yanyu then said: "Master Kongwu, understanding does not come from meditation alone! If you wish to renounce the world and become a Buddha, you should first enter the world as a person. If you do not stand up for me today, how can you stand for the suffering common people tomorrow?"

Her words were like a wake-up call, giving Monk Kongwu an immediate sense of awakening to the great truth.

But the sensation didn’t last long, as another elder’s words poured down like a bucket of cold water: "Master Kongwu, you are still young and do not understand the deceitful human heart. Aren’t you afraid of making mistakes in a moment of misjudgment, aiding a treacherous person, and being blamed by the Buddha in the future?"

Kongwu was nearly in tears, turning to Tian Lin: "Mr. Tian, you have always been extraordinarily astute, wiser than this little monk. Please, Mr. Tian, teach me, whom should I help?"

Tian Lin did not know where Monk Kongwu saw him as extraordinarily astute, but he did not refuse Monk Kongwu and instead looked at Wang Yanyu and the Su family elders.

One must say, Wang Yanyu did one thing extremely well.

That is, she befriended Monk Kongwu early on and left an excellent impression on him.

If she could gain Monk Kongwu’s support, not to mention that the Su family in Beiyed County would be powerless against her, even Elder Zhang might be helpless against her.

Looking at Tian Lin, Wang Yanyu was quite decisive.

She raised her right hand and resolutely said: "Let Houtu bear witness, Wang Yanyu has no intention of harming Brother Tian or Senior Sister Mei. Never before, and never in the future—Brother Tian, do you believe me?"

Tian Lin did not speak, and the Su family elder on the other side, fearing Tian Lin would believe Wang Yanyu’s nonsense, ridiculed: "You didn’t even bring out the Contract Paper, how can Houtu hear you swearing in vain?"

Wang Yanyu frowned; she did not have the Contract Paper. After all, Houtu’s Contract Paper is not readily available, and few people have it for sale.

"What, you have nothing to say now, do you?"

After the Su family elder finished speaking, Tian Lin had already made a decision.

Tian Lin looked at Monk Kongwu and said: "Right now, the immediate priority is to first go to the Su family tomb to rescue Miss Mei. Everything else is trivial in comparison to human lives."

Monk Kongwu suddenly came to realization and nodded repeatedly.

Tian Lin turned his gaze to Wang Yanyu: "Is Mei Xianfu in the Su family tomb? Is she dead or alive now?"

If Mei Xianfu was already dead in the tomb, no matter how eloquent Wang Yanyu was, Tian Lin would not let her go.

Similarly, if Wang Yanyu could ensure Mei Xianfu’s survival, then everything else would be negotiable.

Fortunately, Wang Yanyu said: "Miss Mei is fine, I never intended to harm her."

This seemed to confirm that it was indeed her schemes that led to Mei Xianfu being taken to the Su family tomb.

Tian Lin was not concerned with why she did this; he also wasn’t concerned with the purpose of her actions.

As he had previously stated, the priority was to rescue Mei Xianfu first.

"Everyone, currently Elder Zhang is in the mountains looking for the Su family tomb. Do you plan to find the tomb first and then discuss Miss Wang’s rights and wrongs? Or discuss Miss Wang’s rights and wrongs first, leaving the tomb to Elder Zhang?"

Is there even a choice? Naturally, everyone would not want to hand over the clan’s treasures.

"The Su family tomb is the burial place of our ancestors; how can it be disturbed by outsiders? Wang Yanyu, lead us to the mountains to find the tomb now."

At this time, Wang Yanyu also looked at Monk Kongwu: "We also need the Master to accompany us on this journey—I’m afraid that the treasures may arouse people’s greed and Elder Zhang may kill us to silence us."

Elder Zhang was an elder of the Wenda Sect, and Tian Lin was a disciple of the same sect.

Logically, Tian Lin should be on the same side as Elder Zhang.

However, Tian Lin’s earlier actions all showed an aura of ’upholding righteousness over kinship’ clearly.

People truly could not understand where Tian Lin got the courage to betray the sect elder; wasn’t he afraid of Elder Zhang’s retribution afterward?

While others suspected whether Tian Lin was loyal or traitorous, only Master Kongwu had no doubt about Tian Lin’s character.
