Tian Lin looked at Elder Mei and Fairy Mei, only to see Elder Mei having an air of elderly composure, seemingly unperturbed.
But Fairy Mei frowned deeply, staring at Tian Lin as if she would kill him if he dared to agree.
"Elder Six, this is incorrect— the Divine Lady Tree was given to me by Elder Mei; it wasn't something I took from the Goddess Sect myself. I truly don't understand why Elder Six would want to seek retribution against me?
Furthermore, Fairy Mei is said to be my sword holder, but I have always considered her a companion on my cultivation path; her marriage should be her own choice. Neither you nor I have the right to interfere."
Tian Lin surmised that Elder Mei was throwing the problem at him, hoping he'd help refuse Elder Six.
Besides, it was likely also a test for him.
Back when Fairy Mei was injured by Elder Wu at the Inquiry Sect, Elder Mei was up in the mountains but didn't intervene. He just watched as Tian Lin was almost strangled by Elder Wu.
