Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were confused. Didn't Elder Niu just tell them not to mind? How did he end up making a fuss about it?
Some principles couldn't be explained in a few sentences. Although they were older than Niu Youdao, they still had a lot to learn from Niu Youdao. Of course, some things couldn't be learned just because they wanted to.
Many people learned the same things and did the same things, but the number of people who succeeded could be counted on one's fingers. The principle was the same no matter where it was. Some things really depended on talent.
Before the two of them could react, Niu Youdao had already turned around and left. He really did say that he would let everyone do as they saw fit.
The two of them looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Little Brother …" Shen Yidu called out anxiously, but Niu Youdao didn't turn around. Shen Yidu glanced at the situation around him and suddenly became nervous.
Fu Hua, Duan Wuchang, Lang Jingkong and Hong Gaitian exchanged glances and changed their positions, surrounding Shen Yidu.
Quan Taifeng looked back at Niu Youdao's departing figure, then at Shen Yidu who was surrounded. He didn't know whether he should join in the encirclement.
"What are you trying to do?" Shen Yidu was on high alert as he looked around. He gestured for two of his sect's disciples to rush over and deal with the situation together.
However, there was no way they could win in numbers. Apart from Kun Linshu, who was sitting motionlessly by the bonfire, everyone else gathered around. Even the High Heaven Pavilion disciples rushed over to see what was going on.
A group of people surrounded the three from Waning Moon Pavilion. Both sides were in a state of mutual hostility.
Hong Gaitian sighed, "Brother Shen, we don't want to do anything, but what you've done is a little too much."
Shen Yidu was furious, "I've gone too far? What kind of people are you? Didn't you betray Niu Youdao? "
Quan Taifeng interrupted, "Make yourself clear. I didn't betray you." He still hadn't decided if he wanted to get involved in this matter.
Lang Jingkong: "There are some things that everyone can understand, and even Niu Youdao himself has expressed his understanding. At least, we are speaking the truth. But it is wrong of you to create something out of nothing. Niu Youdao has no enmity with you, and yet you insist on coming up with something to kill him. No one would be able to accept this, right?"
Shen Yidu said angrily, "The truth of the matter is still unclear. Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, I'll have to wait until I see our Pavilion Master to know."
Hibiscus stood in an enchanting posture, picking at her beautiful nails under the firelight. "The truth is no longer important. What's important is that you did it without knowing it …"
Niu Youdao didn't even look at how to deal with them. He walked to the bonfire in the Waning Moon Pavilion and sat down. He stabbed his sword in front of him and sat cross-legged in meditation. He rearranged the events that had just happened in his mind.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were on high alert, occasionally looking at the situation on the other side.
Kun Linshu also looked over. He didn't know what had happened. He didn't know why a group of people had surrounded the people of the Waning Moon Pavilion in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Qin Guan bowed down beside Niu Youdao and said, "Elder, Hibiscus wants to see you."
Niu Youdao grunted and slowly opened his eyes. He tilted his head to look at Hibiscus, who was walking over with a smile.
Fu Hua walked to the side, straightened her skirt, and sat down next to him. Her slender hand handed over a piece of cloth and said, "This is the promissory note that Shen Yidu wrote for twenty million. He only promised to do this. Brother, what do you think? If you're not satisfied, then we'll use force against him. "Finished speaking, he observed the situation.
Niu Youdao took the piece of cloth and unfolded it to look at its contents. He found that it wasn't a normal IOU. It was just a promise from Shen Yidu. He promised to verify with Yu Cang that if it wasn't extortion and if he really framed Niu Youdao, he was willing to bear the responsibility for the twenty million.
Niu Youdao understood that Shen Yidu's promise was already the biggest concession he could make. He was forced to do so. Before the matter was confirmed, it was unlikely that Shen Yidu would directly write that he owed twenty million. He wouldn't be able to back down because of his pride, so he would have to put his life on the line.
"I've seen Big Sister and Elder Brother's kind intentions. It's all in the past. Let's do it this way." Niu Youdao accepted the cloth with a smile and put it into his pocket.
"I knew you were a reasonable man." Fu Hua giggled and playfully punched him on the shoulder. Then, she got up and went back to the other side. She didn't want to easily fight to the death with Shen Yidu. After all, Waning Moon Pavilion wasn't a force to be trifled with.
After the announcement, the surrounding people dispersed. Only Shen Yidu's face was dark. Seeing that his campfire had been taken over by Niu Youdao, he couldn't afford to provoke him. He could only sit beside the campfire left by the Misty Pavilion members.
After the previous situation, he finally understood that he was the only outsider here. There was also Chao Jing before, but Chao Jing had disappeared. Now, he was the only one left. The others were all fucking sworn brothers with Niu Youdao.
He felt wronged writing an IOU, but he was forced by the situation. He could only bite the bullet and write it down. However, this was twenty million, not a small amount. He didn't know how to explain it to Yu Cang when he returned. He didn't know what would happen in the future. Now, he could only pass one obstacle at a time. If he really went back, he could only explain it this way.
He was puzzled. How could Niu Youdao be fine? He even drew his sword and provoked them, but the Misty Pavilion didn't do anything to Niu Youdao?
He wasn't the only one who wanted to know the reason. The others also found excuses to get closer to Niu Youdao, trying to find out more about the situation. However, Niu Youdao casually brushed them off and didn't want to talk about it. He only told them that the less they knew, the better. They shouldn't bring trouble to themselves.
Since he said so, everyone could only let it go.
Early the next morning, Niu Youdao acted as if nothing had happened. As usual, he discussed the next meeting point with everyone. This time, he didn't lead the Purple Golden Cave's people on a solo mission. They went according to the plan discussed by everyone.
Shen Yidu also acted as if nothing had happened, but the expression on his face was obviously unnatural.
After everyone went their separate ways, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie realized that Elder Niu was still the same as usual. He still didn't have the intention to hunt the Demonic Fox. It was as if he was taking them for fun.
However, Elder Niu separated from them on the way. They didn't know where he went, but when they met again, he brought back a few Demonic Fox Eyes for the two of them. Where did he get them? Did he rob them again?
In the pavilion of the Holy Land of Dayuan, Ding Wei sat behind the table and drank tea. He listened to Xuan Yao's report, and his brows gradually furrowed.
After the report, Ding Wei put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "The Misty Pavilion robbed him. Can you confirm that?"
Xuan Yao hesitated and said, "I can't confirm it, but he doesn't seem to be lying. He said himself that he was very confident. He said that he would find the person who robbed him sooner or later. He might already have some clues in his hands."
Ding Wei frowned and left the table. After pacing around the pavilion for a while, he said hesitantly, "Who would be so daring? Could it be someone from the Holy Land of Dayuan?"
Xuan Yao said, "If what he said is true, it's not impossible. He didn't hesitate to fall out with me, so he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so daring. If he has clues in his hands, it's obvious that he doesn't want to tell me. I also don't dare to investigate further. I'm afraid that things will get out of hand. If it's really done by one of our own, we can only deal with it secretly. It's not appropriate to do so in public. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the other families. I've come back to ask for your opinion. "
Ding Wei continued to pace around. After thinking for a while, he Slowly said, "Chao Jing's disappearance really has nothing to do with Niu Youdao?"
Xuan Yao said, "Maybe it's really a coincidence. Niu Youdao does have proof that he has nothing to do with this matter. There's more than one witness, and there are many people who can prove it. Unless that group of people all faked it, that's unlikely. From Chao Shenghuai's accident to the subsequent events, Niu Youdao's explanation can be considered honest. The only thing he didn't want to cooperate with was the robbery. Mister, this Niu Youdao is too arrogant. How dare he go against the people of the Misty Pavilion in public. "
"If he dares to be arrogant, he must pay the price. He's in our hands, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him. He can't run away, so there's no need to rush." Ding Wei waved his hand and stopped walking. He turned around and said, "The most important thing now is to find out if the people who robbed his things are on our side."
Xuan Yao asked, "What do you want to do, Mister?"
Ding Wei walked closer. "I don't know which idiot did it. Don't they know that the Holy Lord is dissatisfied with the Misty Pavilion and has the intention to clean up the Misty Pavilion? What's the difference between going against the rules and defying the Holy Lord's orders? What will the Holy Lord think? If the Holy Lord really wants to use force, it won't do anyone any good. Xuan Yao, this matter shouldn't be handled by others. You have to make another trip. "
Xuan Yao said, "Tell me what you want, Mister."
Ding Wei said in a low voice, "Go to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland again and look for the people from the Dayuan Holy Land. First, confirm if our people did it. If they did, don't leave any evidence. Clean up the matter. After the matter is settled, I'll report to the Holy Lord. "He made a throat-cutting gesture with his finger.
Xuan Yao: "Yes!"
Ding Wei: "If we can confirm that it has nothing to do with our people, there's no need for us to cover up for others and get ourselves into trouble. It's not good to cover up this matter anymore. The more we cover up, the bigger the problem will be. Let Niu Youdao investigate himself. Whoever is the culprit will be the unlucky one. Sigh! " There was a melancholy look on his face. He was vaguely aware of some things. The Holy Lord had already made up his mind. What was bound to happen would happen sooner or later. He just didn't know to what extent the situation would escalate.
"Alright." Xuan Yao agreed. Then, he couldn't help but ask, "What if Niu Youdao can't be found out? What if Niu Youdao is trying to confuse the public?" He didn't want to let Niu Youdao off so easily. After all, it was embarrassing.
Ding Wei: "After the matter in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland is settled, skin him alive!"
Xuan Yao smiled. "Yes! I'll make another trip to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. "
…
Under the night sky, Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged beside the bonfire, touched a piece of rock. The leaf that was rolled up in the rock fell into his hand. Avoiding people, he opened the leaf in his palm and quickly looked at the contents of the leaf.
Xuan Yao returned to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland again and met with the contestants from the Misty Pavilion.
The situation was under control. He crushed the leaf in his hand.
His hands moved, but he looked at the fire in silence.
