An Shougui, Taishu Shanhai, and the other newcomers felt as if they were in a dream. They had just arrived and they had already received such a huge reward. It felt unreal.
After the arrangements were made, the group dispersed and were brought back to the courtyard.
Huang Ban went to the Imperfection Guarding Mountain Manor again. He saw Ding Wei and reported, "Sir, everything has been explained."
"Sigh!" Ding Wei sighed softly and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
…
After returning to the courtyard, the elders of the various sects gathered together again.
Fu Hua and the rest who were originally in the same group naturally went to Niu Youdao's side and entered Niu Youdao's room together.
Niu Youdao was holding a piece of paper with the names of the Misty Pavilion's divisions in a daze. He smiled bitterly when he saw a group of people coming in together.
As soon as Fu Hua saw him, she asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
Niu Youdao said, "We don't even know what the divisions of the Misty Pavilion do, how would we know which place is suitable? Besides, we can't all go to the same place, can we?"
The few of them thought about it and agreed. Quan Taifeng asked curiously, "What do you mean by letting us choose?"
Niu Youdao shook the piece of paper and said, "Is there a need to say it? The Misty Pavilion is just trying to avoid arousing suspicion and prove that they did not arrange it on purpose. If there is really a group of people, they will adjust it."
Lang Jingkong said, "Giving us such a big power out of the blue is really unexpected. I feel like I'm dreaming."
Niu Youdao snorted, "Don't tell me you really think it's a good thing?"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Fu Hua sighed and said, "Of course it's not a good thing. They said that only the Venerable Lord can decide our life and death. If there is really an accident, it's normal for us to die without knowing why. Do you think the Misty Pavilion will report it to us for nothing? At most, they can avoid the possibility of someone taking action against us. "
Duan Wuchang sighed, "Isn't this like pulling the teeth out of the tiger's mouth? The Misty Pavilion has too many secrets in their hands and their influence is too great. If the Venerable Lord does not remove the power of the Misty Pavilion, how are we going to investigate? Are we looking for death? "
Niu Youdao said, "Remove the power? They were all forces run by his disciples and grand-disciples, and he usually relied on them to do things. How could he remove them? There's no reason for your North Sea's Underworld Lord to get rid of your men in North Sea just like that. How could such a huge force just sit and wait for death? It's not something that can be removed so easily. "
Hong Gaitian pondered and said, "Can we live in harmony? If we don't take it seriously, will the Misty Pavilion not turn a blind eye? "
Quan Taifeng sneered and said, "Are you dreaming? Could the nine of them let both sides live in peace? The things we wrote down can be light or heavy. The decision is in the hands of those nine. If you don't do it, they can destroy your entire sect. Do you think you can run? No one wants to cause trouble, but just wait and see. They'll definitely make an example out of you, forcing everyone to risk their lives. I wonder who'll be the first to suffer. "
Duan Wuchang sighed again, "Even if they kill us, the sects behind us can still make up for it. They won't have much without us, but they won't have much with us. Is that how we play it?"
Hong Gaitian gritted his teeth and said, "If we take it seriously, the Misty Pavilion won't let us go. Besides, we're too weak. What can we find if we infiltrate the various forces?"
Niu Youdao said mockingly, "Don't you have the support of the South Sea's forces? At the very least, they can't be easily assassinated. If the South Sea's forces dare to slack off, the things you wrote down will be enough to destroy them. "
Hong Gaitian grimaced and said, "Who knows what secrets the Misty Pavilion has in their hands? Will they be a threat to the South Sea?"
Niu Youdao chuckled, "Then there's no other way. If the South Sea really did something that can't see the light of day, and the Misty Pavilion didn't deal with it, why does the Misty Pavilion want to hide it from the Venerable Lord? Isn't this the perfect time to force the Misty Pavilion to deal with it? "
Quan Taifeng's face twitched and said, "How ruthless. Not only do they want to clean up the Misty Pavilion, but they also want to expose all the major forces. Do we have a way out? Isn't this putting us on the fire? "
Niu Youdao said, "If you have the ability to do it half-heartedly, try to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. The chicken that gets killed might be you."
Quan Taifeng sneered, "Brother, don't laugh at me. Don't make it sound like it has nothing to do with you. Do you have any good ideas? Everyone here is your sworn brother. If you have any ideas, why don't you share them with us? "
Niu You said, "Forced by the situation, everyone has to go with the flow, what can I do? Besides, I didn't write anything wrong. "
"…" Everyone was speechless.
"Haha!" Fu Hua suddenly laughed and poked Niu Youdao's shoulder with her sharp fingers, "Don't forget that you can make up for it! If you don't do your best, do you think the nine of them won't find fault with you? If you really dare to do that, the chicken used to warn the monkeys will be you! "
"Sigh!" Niu Youdao sighed and said, "You've hit the nail on the head. I was worried about this. So, what can I do? I say, everyone, it's useless to think about it now. Let's think about how we're going to report three days later. "He shook the paper in his hand.
There was nothing they could do. They could only do this for the time being. Everyone bid farewell and left.
When Niu Youdao sent everyone out, he suddenly called out, "Brother Quan."
Everyone turned around. Niu Youdao explained, "A little private matter."
Fu Hua seemed to tease him, "Little brother, if you have any ideas, remember to discuss it with me."
Niu Youdao cupped his hands and bowed, as if begging for mercy.
Fu Hua giggled and left with the people of the Four Seas.
Quan Taifeng returned to his room. Obviously, he had the same thoughts as Fu Hua. He chased after Niu Youdao and asked in a low voice, "Did you think of something?"
"You're thinking too much. Big brother, please sit down. I just remembered something and wanted to ask you about it. "Niu Youdao sat down and gestured with his hand.
Quan Taifeng sat down next to him and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Niu Youdao said, "Officer Feng, you should know her, right?"
"Officer Feng?" Quan Taifeng was stunned. He nodded and said, "I know her. She's the granddaughter of High Heaven Pavilion's former Sect Master. She's not a cultivator. Why are you asking about her instead of worrying about your own life?"
Niu Youdao said, "Isn't she Luo Zhao's wife? Luo Zhao ran to the Qin State. Why didn't she follow him? Was she detained by you?"
Quan Taifeng was immediately vigilant. He sized him up from head to toe and inevitably warned, "Laodi, I'll say the ugly words first. You and I are sworn brothers. Our friendship is our friendship, but when it comes to national affairs, it's best you don't have any crooked thoughts about me."
Niu Youdao said, "What are you thinking? If it involves the interests or secrets between the two countries, would you tell me?"
That was true, but Quan Taifeng didn't understand. "Wait, why are you asking about her? I really don't understand! "
Niu Youdao said, "I suddenly remembered and wanted to ask."
Quan Taifeng said, "Don't talk nonsense with me. I don't think you two know each other. How can you think of her?"
Niu Youdao suddenly felt strange. "You don't know that she knows me?"
Quan Taifeng was stunned. "You two know each other?"
Niu Youdao said, "During the war between the two armies, when the Yan army invaded the Song State, she was captured by me and imprisoned in my Thatched Cottage for a period of time. Didn't she say anything?"
"…" Quan Taifeng was stunned. He recalled that Feng Guaner did disappear for a period of time and many people were sent to look for her. It seemed that she was captured by Niu Youdao. After a while, he shook his head and said, "She didn't say anything about this. I asked her at that time but she refused to say where she went. Did you capture her? That girl's looks are top-notch, and you can't forget about her. I say, you didn't do anything to her, right? "
Niu Youdao thought for a while and could roughly understand why Feng Guaner didn't mention it. "You think too much. When the two countries were at war, that woman was afraid that she would become a hostage of the Yan Kingdom to threaten her husband who was commanding the war, so she refused to reveal her identity. It was not until the two countries stopped fighting that she revealed her identity. I really admire such a woman. How is she now? "
Is that so? Quan Taifeng had doubts in his heart, but he felt that it was not a big deal. So, he mentioned it. "It's not that Luo Zhao didn't want to take her to the Qin State. It's just that Luo Zhao divorced her to clear his relationship with the Song State. The couple used to have a good relationship. I didn't expect Luo Zhao to be such a person. Seeing that there was no future in the Song State, he abandoned his wife. Alas, I didn't pay much attention to the other details. "
"Divorced?" Niu Youdao was surprised and fell silent.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Quan Taifeng also took his leave.
Then, Niu Youdao cleared his mind and took out a list of the departments of the Misty Pavilion. He put it on the table and read it carefully.
Qin Guan moved closer and asked, "Elder, have you decided which department to go to?"
"I have no idea." Niu Youdao shook his head.
The people who were trapped in the courtyard were stunned at first. When they came to their senses, they realized that it was not a good thing. The atmosphere in the courtyard was a little depressing …
The next day, the person who delivered the food came again.
The Misty Pavilion arranged for someone to take care of the food and drinks for the people of the sects.
As usual, Ke Dingjie received the food at the door. Unexpectedly, the person who delivered the food looked into the room and suddenly said, "Today's food is very important. Elder Niu needs to come and take it personally."
Ke Dingjie was stunned. Niu Youdao, who was still staring at the paper on the table, looked back in surprise.
The member of the Misty Pavilion who was carrying the food box nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Niu Youdao didn't know what he meant, but he walked to the door anyway. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."
The person handed over the food with both hands. When Niu Youdao reached out to take it, he was stunned. The person put something in his hand.
The person handed over the food and immediately turned to leave.
Niu Youdao stepped out of the door and stared at the person's back for a while. Then, he turned back to the room and handed the food to Ke Dingjie.
Ke Dingjie took the food box and placed it on the table. He muttered, "Elder, why does this person seem so weird today?"
