I can recognize everything, but the information is wrong.

Chapter 43 Killing Xiaoyue (Seeking follow-up reading)

Seeing that Xiaoyue had no intention of leaving for the time being, Tian Lin took the initiative to say, "Didn't you say seven days? There are still four or five days left."

"The day after tomorrow, the young master will find a way to get the second steward to come down the mountain. When the second steward comes to the mining academy, you will kill the man surnamed Han in front of the third steward to show your loyalty to the second steward."

"It's that simple?"

Tian Lin said: "If I kill Han Li, will the Second Steward protect me?"

"In Lianshui Peak, the position of supervisor is for the strong. As long as you can kill Han Li, no other disciple in Lianshui Peak will be able to compete with you for the position of supervisor. And if Young Master Shang cooperates with you in a play, the Second Steward will treat you as his own family member."

She explained it again, but Tian Lin still questioned, "Young Master Shang, aren't you afraid that the Second Steward will see through this trick?"

"Those who eat meat are mean. Don't worry, Master Shang has planned everything."

Tian Lin wanted to question, but Xiao Yue said angrily: "I am not here to answer your questions today, but to convey the Master's intentions to you. You just need to obey his orders."

After she finished speaking, she took out a saber from her waist and threw it to Tian Lin, saying, "This is the saber that the young master gave me on my birthday. I have always kept it well hidden and never used it. Now I will lend it to you temporarily, so you can use it to do meritorious service for the young master."

After she left arrogantly, Tian Lin put the gold-plated knife in the scabbard back into the house and then went to the river.

He looked at the errand disciples and heard them say, "Hurry up and dig a few more shovels. We won't be able to dig up the Shuiling Mine soon."

Tian Lin actually didn’t care what these people did, he was just looking for Han Li.

But after looking around, he couldn't find where Han Li had gone.

Han Li didn't come down the mountain until it was almost time to get off work.

Tian Lin looked at Han Li's swollen left face and said, "The Third Steward doesn't agree with you leaving?"

Han Li smiled, touched the damaged corner of his mouth and said, "The Third Steward said that the Mining Academy cannot do without me, and he needs my help to control the other chores disciples."

Tian Lin thought about it and did not tell him that Xiaoyue was coming today, nor did he tell Han Li that the second manager would go down the mountain the day after tomorrow.

For the next two or three days, Han Li went up the mountain every day, and came down covered in wounds every time, so much so that rumors spread throughout the mining institute.

Tian Lin thought of Xiaoyue’s words, that the position of supervisor should be occupied by the strong.

If Han Li wasn't so powerful, there might be some menial disciples who would have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Apart from mining for spiritual minerals, he basically spent the past few days on the mountain eating figs and meditating.

It was not until the next morning when Han Li blew the whistle that the errand disciples rushed to the river. Tian Lin stopped Han Li and said,
"Brother Han, there is no need to go up the mountain. I estimate that the Third Steward will come down the mountain soon."

Han Li coughed and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"If Brother Han really wants to leave Yaoyue Sect, go ask the Second Steward for help when he comes down the mountain."

Tian Lin had previously mentioned the third manager, and now he was talking about the second manager, which confused Han Li.

At this time, two voices were heard outside the bamboo corridor: "If Supervisor Han wants to go back, just let him go back. Why force him to stay?"

Then a familiar voice answered, "We in Yaoyue Sect don't force people to stay. I, Liu Yunxiao, am not unwilling to let him go. I just want him to help me for the next two years. I will let him go after I have someone to replace him."

"Another two years? Could it be that without Han Li, the Mining Institute can no longer be maintained?"

As he was speaking, two fat men were seen coming down the mountain, followed by three or four other people.

Among the three or four people, Tian Lin saw the figures of Master Shang and Xiaoyue.

Han Li was about to talk to one of the fat guys when Tian Lin pulled his sleeve. Han Li gritted his teeth and turned to the other fat guy.

"Second Steward, please help me ask the Third Steward to let me go home to visit my family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the second steward patted his belly and laughed loudly, while the third steward held his belt with a gloomy face.

"Han Li, don't forget that it was the Third Manager who promoted you to be the mine supervisor. Are you going to be ungrateful?"

Then Young Master Shang stood up and rebuked Han Li in righteous words.

Behind Young Master Shang, Xiaoyue frowned.

She had heard these two days that Han Li wanted to leave Yaoyue Sect, but she didn't expect that Han Li would dare to plead with the Second Steward in front of the Third Steward.

In fact, it was not just him. Except for Tian Lin, no one present thought that Han Li would dare to do this.

"Business matters, don't speak carelessly."

The second steward stood in front of Han Li and said, "The mining academy does not belong to the third brother alone. Han Li, the supervisor, is the supervisor of Lianshui Peak. He is loyal to the entire Lianshui Peak, not the master behind you."

Young Master Shang's face flushed when he heard this, and he stared at the Second Steward like he was angry but dared not say anything. Everyone knew that Steward Shang was the Third Steward's man, and the Second Steward was at odds with the Third Steward.

Seeing the tense situation, the chores disciples who were panning for sand over there were both excited and scared, and they all watched from afar across the river.

"Okay, Xiao Shang."

After the Third Steward finished speaking, Young Master Shang retreated behind him.

The third manager sneered at Han Li and said, "Okay, if you want to leave, then find someone useful in the mining yard."

Han Li was hesitating when Tian Lin stepped forward and said, "I am Tian Lin, a errand student at the Mining Academy. I am willing to serve the Third Steward."

As soon as he stood up, Master Shang, who had retreated behind the Third Steward, stood up again. He scolded Tian Lin in a stern voice: "You bastard, when is it your turn to speak here? Why don't you get out of here?"

Tian Lin frowned, a little emotional: "Master Shang, you brought me out from the Shangjia Mine. Since we are one of your family, why are you stopping me from making progress?"

Young Master Shang also frowned, he felt that Tian Lin's acting skills were a bit poor.

I don't know what he whispered to the third steward, but the third steward looked at Tian Lin with disgust and heard him say, "No, this Tian Lin cannot be used. He cannot be a supervisor."

Tian Lin was about to speak, but the second steward spoke for him:
"The rule of the Mining Academy is that the disciple with the strongest fighting ability will be the supervisor. This matter was decided by my eldest brother himself, and you have no right to object to it, my third brother."

The third steward looked at Han Li and said threateningly, "Mr. Han, tell me, who is more suitable to be the supervisor?"

Han Li looked at Master Shang and the Third Steward, then at the Second Steward. After meeting Tian Lin's gaze, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"In my opinion, Tian Lin is the most suitable person to be the supervisor of the mining institute."

He was speaking the truth, not because he wanted to help Tian Lin.

Because he knew clearly that with Tian Lin's current strength, no matter who was the supervisor of the group of menial students in the Mining Academy, he would not be able to control Tian Lin.

But the Third Steward asked him to recommend someone, which clearly showed that he did not want to use Tian Lin. His recommendation of Tian Lin at this time really made the Third Steward very angry, and also made Young Master Shang and Xiao Yue frown.

According to the original plan, Tian Lin was to challenge Han Li, kill Han Li and seize the position of supervisor.

But now, Han Li is actually going to take the initiative to give up his position to Tian Lin.

This change really made Young Master Shang a little confused. What on earth had happened in such a short period of less than half a month?

But the show had to go on. He had to let Tian Lin take the position of supervisor, and also let Han Li have a relationship with the second manager.

"The Third Steward said that Tian Lin cannot be the supervisor, so he absolutely cannot be the supervisor."

Master Shang's words ignited the second steward's anger, and he cursed:
"Mr. Shang, the Mining Academy is the Mining Academy of Lianshui Peak, not your master's Mining Academy. Whether Mr. Tian can be a supervisor, we can just let the disciples of the Mining Academy compete and we will know."

Although the second manager did not trust Tian Lin, no matter who became the supervisor, the result would not be worse than that of Han Li.

Because it is impossible for Han Li to really betray the Third Manager.

It seemed that he was a little afraid of the Second Steward. Young Master Shang did not dare to say a word after the Second Steward spoke. He just retreated to the side of the Third Steward and whispered a few words to him.

The third steward nodded and said, "If Tian wants to be the supervisor, that's fine. As long as he can beat Xiaoyue, let him be the supervisor."

Tian Lin's strength is stronger than other disciples of the Mining Academy. Young Master Shang learned this from Xiaoyue.

But he and Xiaoyue actually didn't know how strong Tian Lin was.

Xiaoyue was somewhat surprised when the third steward called her name to compete against Tian Lin.

Because the original plan was not like this, but now it is obvious that Han Li is willing to take the initiative to give in and even recommend Tian Lin, so the plan is completely messed up.

"Okay, then please ask the second and third stewards to sit on the bamboo corridor for a while. I will dance with the sword to entertain the two stewards."

Xiaoyue said this after receiving instructions from Young Master Shang.

A servant pulled two chairs from some unknown room. When the second and third stewards sat on the chairs, Xiaoyue came close to Tian Lin's ear and whispered:
"Let's fight first. I'll show you my weakness later. You'd better hurt me seriously. Then you can secure the position of supervisor."

Although the two were off the field, they were still quite a distance away from each other through the bamboo corridor.

But Tian Lin was always afraid that Xiaoyue’s voice would be heard by the two cultivators, so he did not dare to have more contact with Xiaoyue.

He simply nodded, then pulled out the knife that Satsuki had given him a few days ago.

This knife was given to Xiaoyue by Young Master Shang. Xiaoyue had never been willing to use it and had kept it for a long time without showing it to anyone.
