Chapter 1171. Puzzled (1/2)

There were restaurants and places to stay all ready in the various floating cities on Peng Lai. Although cultivators didn’t need to eat and didn’t need much rest, they still liked to eat. Even when cultivating, one would want a quiet room.

There was no lack of these kinds of facilities in the city.

At this moment, on the third floor of a inn, the entire floor had been cleared out of unauthorized people. Now there were only two elders, Wang Lin, and Li Qianmei there.

One of the old men was Yang Yu’s uncle-master, and the other one had a shining, red face.

The green-robed old man smiled. “Fellow Cultivator Lu, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m the rank 6 Devil Collection Sect’s elder Tang Lihai.”

“This old man is the Devil Collection Sect’s Wu Qing.” The red-faced old man’s voice was like a bell that shook the entire third floor.

These two elders were both at the early stage of Nirvana Shatterer, but they didn’t put up any airs and treated Wang Lin as an equal. Wu Qing had heard about what happened from Tang Lihai and was shocked. He didn’t dare to underestimate Wang Lin.

Li Qianmei quickly sat on the side and played with the wine cup in her hand. However, her gaze would occasionally sweep past a deserted table in the corner.

Tang Lihai and Wu Qing naturally knew of her identity, but since she had changed her hair color, it was obvious she didn’t want it to be revealed. They didn’t say anything and only looked over to pay their respects.

“Today, it was me who was reckless, so I hope Fellow Cultivator Lu won’t mind.” Tang Lihai picked up the wine cup and looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin’s expression was neutral as he picked up the cup to match, but he didn’t drink it and placed it down immediately after.

Tang Lihai laughed. “I heard from Disciple Zhao Yu that Fellow Cultivator Lu’s spell was amazing. After seeing it today, it really was extraordinary. I want to become friends with Brother Lu.”

“No problem. It was also my intent to become friends with the Devil Collection Sect.” Wang Lin quietly waited for what was next. He didn’t believe they would come just to become friends with him.

The two of them began to talk, but Tang Lihai still didn’t bring up the real purpose. He was secretly gauging Wang Lin, and he was also afraid of the relationship between Wang Lin and Li Qianmei.

Wu Qing listened for a very long time and eventually revealed a hint of impatience. He picked up a cup and slammed it on the table. He looked at Wang Lin and said, “Fellow Cultivator Lu, I’m not good at talking in circles. Today I came to ask if Fellow Cultivator is willing to become an external elder.

“If you agree, my Devil Collection Sect will greet you with great gifts! Even if you don’t agree, after today, the three of us can be counted as acquaintances. For us cultivators, those we call ‘fellow cultivator’ can be considered friends!”

Hearing Wu Qing’s words, Tang Lihai revealed a wry smile as he looked at Wang Lin and said, “I was going to ask Fellow Cultivator about this after talking a bit more, but I forgot about this Wu Qing’s attitude. My Devil Collection Sect is very sincere, and if you become an external elder, we will provide all the alchemy materials you need. We ask you act when you should to maintain the dignity of my Devil Collection Sect!”

Wang Lin pondered a bit and slowly said, “I need to consider this first. How about this: I’ll give you an answer before leaving Peng Lai.”

Tang Lihai laughed and nodded. “That’s how it should be. Fellow Cultivator, please think carefully. We will await your answer.”

After talking about this matter, Wang Lin stood up and said his goodbyes. He left with Li Qianmei.

It wasn’t until the two of them left that the red faced elder’s face became gloomy. He no longer had that straight forward appearance he had before.

He slowly said, “His cultivation is very strange!”

Tang Lihai said, “It is indeed very strange. He is also very cautious, suspicious, and wise. Also very ruthless and decisive when acting.”

At this moment, on the deserted table in the corner, a figure gradually appeared. It was a middle-aged man wearing a daoist robe. He was pale and had the air of a celestial.

He stood up and walked toward the two elders before slowly sitting down.

The middle-aged man looked outside the window and whispered, “I can’t tell if he saw through my invisibility.”

Tang Lihai hesitated for a moment and said, “Even if he saw through you, it should be Li Qianmei who secretly told him…”

The middle-aged man shook his head.

“Is it… that guy?” Wu Qing’s eyes lit up and became cold as he spoke.

“If he saw through it, he is. If he didn’t, then he isn’t.” The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and frowned.

“No matter what happens, don’t touch this person. I get a very dangerous feeling from him… My Devil Collection Sect will back out of this matter with the jade and pill recipe. We can’t afford to participate.” The middle-aged man massaged his temples. He looked exhausted.

Every city had their own market, and there were a lot of them scattered about. Over the next few days, Wang Lin said farewell to Li Qianmei and wandered the city on his own.
