Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 188 – Where there are people, there is injustice!

"Meng Fan, I look forward to that day," Meng Fan said with a smile to Lin Jian.

Right now, Lin Jian is the subject of widespread scorn, but if he can truly hold out until the day of the wedding, it might just become a beautiful story.

In this world, there are countless bizarre and unpredictable events; they are quite common.

But there's a prerequisite: his master, Lu Xiaoyun, must also like him.

If it's not mutual, then it's all nonsense!

I hope Lin Jian can truly win over his master...

After persisting in cultivation within the Thousand Catty Fall formation for an hour, Meng Fan left the Cliff of Remorse in the back mountain.

For the first time, he was curious about what kind of person Lin Jian's master was and what her attitude towards Lin Jian was.

So after leaving the Cliff of Remorse, Meng Fan went to the Scripture Pavilion again.

After all, in his eyes, Senior Disciple Jin was the all-knowing informant of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. If you wanted to gather information, you had to find Senior Disciple Jin.

***

"Why are you here again?" Senior Disciple Jin frowned as he saw Meng Fan appear before him once more.

This kid had just left a little over an hour ago, so why was he back again?

A bit annoying!

"Senior Disciple Jin, I want to ask you about someone," Meng Fan said straightforwardly.

Senior Disciple Jin replied irritably, "I stay in the Scripture Pavilion all day, never stepping out. Who could I possibly know? What use is it to ask me about someone?"

"Senior Disciple Jin, aren't you just lying with your eyes open? In the entire Shu Mountain Sword Sect, who has more information than you?" Meng Fan said with a grin.

Senior Disciple Jin sighed. He had indeed shared many pieces of information with Meng Fan that he probably shouldn't have.

Initially, he had intended to befriend Meng Fan, occasionally revealing some news to him.

But now he regretted it a bit.

Because this kid was a bit annoying, and he himself liked peace and quiet.

This was evident from his words and actions.

"Who do you want to ask about?" Senior Disciple Jin asked Meng Fan reluctantly.

"Lu Xiaoyun!" Meng Fan uttered the name of Lin Jian's master.

Hearing the name Lu Xiaoyun, a strange look flashed in Senior Disciple Jin's eyes.

"Why do you want to know about her?"

Senior Disciple Jin hadn't expected that the person Meng Fan wanted to inquire about would be her.

Meng Fan said, "I've recently gotten close to Lin Jian from the Cliff of Remorse. He asked me to find out how Lu Xiaoyun is doing now."

Mentioning Lu Xiaoyun, Senior Disciple Jin no longer seemed as impatient as before; instead, he seemed somewhat intrigued.

From his eyes, Meng Fan seemed to see a spark of gossip.

Indeed, although Senior Disciple Jin liked peace and quiet and disliked being disturbed, he actually loved gossip and had a burning passion for it.

Lin Jian's love for his master and his confession to her could be considered the biggest piece of gossip in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

So it was only natural that Senior Disciple Jin would be interested in this.

"You've actually become close with that kid Lin Jian?" There was a hint of surprise in Senior Disciple Jin's tone.

Then he couldn't help but ask, "Does Lin Jian really like his master? Although I know about this, I've always been skeptical."

In Senior Disciple Jin's view, had Lin Jian offended someone and been slandered?

Or perhaps, had Lu Xiaoyun offended someone and been slandered?

After all, a disciple loving and confessing to their master was too outrageous; Senior Disciple Jin couldn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

But he also hoped it was true because the news was indeed thrilling and gossipy, which he liked.

So hearing Meng Fan say he was close to Lin Jian, Senior Disciple Jin couldn't help but ask Meng Fan.

"This matter is indeed true. Lin Jian is deeply in love with his master, to the point where he won't marry anyone else," Meng Fan said to Senior Disciple Jin.

Then he continued, "Actually, I'm more curious about Lin Jian's master, Lu Xiaoyun. What is her attitude towards Lin Jian?"

Senior Disciple Jin's eyes burned even brighter with gossip after receiving Meng Fan's confirmation.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, Lu Xiaoyun's feelings for Lin Jian are also very deep.

If it weren't for Lu Xiaoyun's strong pleas, Lin Jian would have been expelled from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and he might have even had his cultivation abolished, becoming a cripple for life!

After Lin Jian was confined to the Cliff of Remorse, Lu Xiaoyun was also confined to the bottom of Ice Moon Lake, and she's still there.

But I think Lu Xiaoyun's feelings for Lin Jian are more like familial love, the bond between master and disciple!

If you say Lu Xiaoyun also has romantic feelings for Lin Jian, I find it unlikely."

In Senior Disciple Jin's view, it's one thing for a disciple to be foolish and impulsive, but a master must be rational.

"Ice Moon Lake?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

He had been in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for so long but had never heard of Ice Moon Lake.

Senior Disciple Jin explained, "Ice Moon Lake is to the west of Shu Mountain, a distance away from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, so it's normal you haven't heard of it.

The lake is filled with Yin Mystical Water, which is bone-chillingly cold.

Although the space beneath the lake doesn't come into contact with the water, it's still extremely cold. An ordinary person would freeze to death in a day and a night!

So being confined there is much worse than what Lin Jian is enduring.

Over time, it could even be life-threatening!"

Hearing Senior Disciple Jin's words, Meng Fan was shocked and found it hard to believe.

How could it be like this?

"What Lin Jian did is indeed against human ethics and can be considered a great sin, but even if blame is to be assigned, it should only fall on Lin Jian!

What does it have to do with Lu Xiaoyun?

She didn't do anything wrong!

Why is her punishment heavier than Lin Jian's?

And so much heavier, even life-threatening!"

Meng Fan's tone was filled with confusion because such a punishment was entirely unreasonable.

Senior Disciple Jin sighed and said, "Who can say for sure whether Lu Xiaoyun did anything wrong?

After that incident, many people scorned Lin Jian, but many also scorned Lu Xiaoyun.

Some even said she was improper and seduced her disciple!

Although the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is a prestigious sect, people everywhere are a mix of good and bad.

As a woman, Lu Xiaoyun faced more unfair treatment than Lin Jian!"

After hearing Senior Disciple Jin's words, Meng Fan fell silent.

This world was ultimately similar to ancient times.

The status of women was not high, even in a place like the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, there were still some drawbacks in this regard.

People were always more lenient towards men than women.

This had nothing to do with the Shu Mountain Sword Sect itself but with the people within the sect.

Where there are people, there is injustice!

From Lu Xiaoyun's perspective, it was indeed an undeserved disaster.

And although Lu Xiaoyun was Lin Jian's master, she was merely a steward, with not much status in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

If she were an elder, perhaps no one would dare treat her like this!

When Lin Jian first joined the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he was quite unremarkable. By chance, Lu Xiaoyun took him as her disciple.

As it turned out, Lin Jian had astonishing talent and quickly became one of the top core disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, even showing signs of surpassing his master!
