His first reaction after raising his head was to rush out of the room. Both Ke Dingjie and Qin Guan looked back, not knowing what was going on.
Niu Youdao, who was holding the paper ball in his hand, looked around, trying to find the person who had delivered the food, but he was long gone.
It was not possible to go out and look for him. The courtyard was being watched closely, and he was not allowed to go out. In the end, he returned to the house.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie welcomed him. The latter asked, "Elder, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Niu Youdao shook his head. "I just felt that the person just now was a little strange."
Qin Guan nodded. "Indeed."
Niu Youdao sat back in his chair and asked thoughtfully, "Ke Dingjie, you said that the person was strange today. Today? Have you seen him before? "
Ke Dingjie said, "Elder, he is one of the people responsible for delivering food and water. As long as people from various sects are here, he basically comes every day. Haven't you seen him before?"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "I really haven't paid attention to him."
It was not a lie. Previously, when it was time to eat, it was basically Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie outside the door to receive the food. The person had never come in, so he had not noticed.
Qin Guan said, "Next time, we need to pay more attention. Elder, let's eat. "He pointed to the food boxes on the table.
"You guys eat." Niu Youdao waved his hand. He was in a useless mood, but he did not forget to remind them, "This person is a little strange. We need to pay attention to him. If you find him, tell me immediately. I will contact him and see."
"Yes!" The two of them answered and went to the table to eat.
Niu Youdao, who was sitting in his chair, was obviously thinking about something. He rubbed the paper ball tightly in his palm. Who had delivered it? He was sure that the person who delivered the food was just an errand boy. He could not be an insider behind the scenes. There were some things that a food delivery person could not know.
What was written on the paper involved a secret about him, a secret that he could not reveal in the Secret Realm of Tiandu.
This secret that could not see the light of day was only turned into a few sentences on a piece of paper. The Misty Pavilion's people had lost a piece of clothing in the Secret Territory of Tiandu, and when the sects surrounded and attacked Niu Youdao who had escaped into the river, there were people from the Misty Pavilion who had appeared. The contents of the paper clearly stated that the people from the Misty Pavilion had never been to the place where they were surrounded and attacked.
The last sentence was a reminder for him to contact the person who delivered the letter if he needed anything. He would help Niu Youdao as long as it was within his capabilities.
How could he still have the mood to eat when such a deadly thing was in the hands of others?
When he first went to the Heaven Capital Mystery Territory, there were some things that he was forced to take risks out of desperation. At that time, he was forced to a dead end. If he didn't think of every way to survive, it would be very difficult for him to survive. Therefore, he stole a piece of clothing from the Misty Pavilion the moment he entered the Secret Territory. He was prepared to pretend to be a member of the Misty Pavilion and escape if he encountered any danger.
As he grew older, everyone would unknowingly form a style of doing things that they felt was effective.
This was also Niu Youdao's style. The more dangerous the situation was, the more he would try his best to leave an escape route for himself, as the last line of defense for his life. Just like when he went to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, he had to think of a way to establish a relationship with the Fox clan. If he failed, he would hide in the Fox clan's territory and wait for a chance to come up again.
When he was surrounded and attacked by the sects in the Secret Territory of Tiandu, he used the clothes from the Misty Pavilion to escape.
Logically speaking, when the people chasing after him saw the people from the Misty Pavilion, they wouldn't think much of it. They wouldn't report to the Misty Pavilion just because they saw the people from the Misty Pavilion. This was illogical. Therefore, when he did that, he still had confidence in his safety.
Even if the sects saw the people from the Misty Pavilion, they wouldn't be able to confirm that he was an imposter. Only those who knew the whole situation and knew that the Misty Pavilion had lost their clothes would suspect that someone was an imposter. Also, the letter said that no one from the Misty Pavilion went to that place at that time, which further proved that this person had a complete grasp of the situation of the Misty Pavilion's people in the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm. This was the highest possibility that only someone from the Misty Pavilion could know.
Although there were only a few lines of words on the paper, it was concise and to the point. Even without any direct evidence, it was enough to identify the imposter of the Misty Pavilion.
Now, he was sure that this letter was from the Misty Pavilion, but he didn't understand why they only took it out now to remind him. The incident in the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm had happened a long time ago, and it couldn't have just been discovered. They must have known about it a long time ago, and just kept it a secret.
It had been a long time since the incident, and he thought it was over. Who knew that it had already become a handle in the hands of others.
Why didn't he take it out earlier or later? Why did he have to take it out now?
Obviously, the other party had a purpose for taking it out now. He felt that the time had come!
What opportunity? It was hard for him not to suspect that it had something to do with this matter. He didn't want to be led by the nose by the other party.
He didn't want to be led by the nose. He wanted to report the letter to the Misty Pavilion for investigation. He wanted to flip the table.
However, he didn't dare to act rashly. Not to mention the consequences of impersonating the Misty Pavilion, one thing was for sure, even if he reported it, he might not be able to hurt the mastermind. The person who delivered the food was obviously not the mastermind, and he didn't have the power to do so. Since the other party dared to do it, they wouldn't let the Misty Pavilion easily find out who it was. Without this backup plan, they wouldn't dare to do it, or else they would be asking for trouble.
Also, he had something he had planned for a long time, and if he reported it now, it would affect his plan.
What he couldn't understand was that the other party warned him at this time, but didn't tell him what he wanted him to do. Instead, he said he wanted to help him?
It was said that the Misty Pavilion held many secrets in the world. Today, he had finally experienced it, and realized it.
Niu Youdao, who was deep in thought, stood up unknowingly and paced back and forth in the room.
After a simple meal, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie didn't disturb him. They tidied up the tableware and put it together in a box. Qin Guan carried it out and handed it over to the guard at the courtyard entrance.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie also noticed that Niu Youdao wasn't normal. They had never seen him so uneasy before.
Late at night, Niu Youdao, who was standing in the courtyard looking up at the morning stars, suddenly let out a long sigh and made up his mind.
The next day, Fu Hua and the others came to disturb Niu Youdao again, asking if he had decided on a place to go.
"No clue, I haven't decided yet." Niu Youdao spread his hands helplessly.
After the crowd dispersed, when it was almost mealtime, Niu Youdao received news of what he had been waiting for. Ke Dingjie, who was at the door, suddenly turned around and reported, "Elder, the person who delivered the food yesterday is here."
The silent Niu Youdao's eyes flashed. He stood up and waved his hand, signaling the two to stay inside. He went to the door and saw the person who delivered the food yesterday.
Niu Youdao waited at the door for the person to arrive.
After delivering the food to each room, the person finally arrived with a box of food. When he saw Niu Youdao waiting at the door, he greeted him with a smile, "Elder Niu."
"Thank you!" Niu Youdao cupped his hands in salute and took the box of food from the person. He asked in a low voice, "Nothing for me today?"
The person replied in a low voice, "Nothing. If you need any help, just let me know. I'll try my best. If I can't, I'll report it to the higher-ups and let them decide how to deal with it. "
Niu Youdao opened the box, pretending to ask what the food was, but in fact, he said in a low voice, "I want to see the person behind you."
The person said, "Do you think I know? I'm just an errand boy. Actually, I also want to know who it is. "
Niu Youdao flipped to the second layer of the box. "May I know your name?"
The person said, "Chang Qingshan."
Niu Youdao said, "I want a map of the Sacred Land, as well as the distribution and responsibilities of each division in the Sacred Land. Is there a problem?"
Chang Qingshan said, "That's easy. I'll bring it to you tomorrow." His voice became louder. "Elder Niu, please enjoy. Goodbye."
"I won't see you out." Niu Youdao returned with the box of food.
Qin and Ke looked at each other. They didn't know what they were whispering at the door, but they felt that there was a problem …
The people from the various sects gathered here were like pigs being reared in a pen. They had nothing else to do, so they would occasionally drop by to chat and ask each other about their choices. The day passed in boredom.
The next day, Chang Qingshan came again. Again, it was Niu Youdao who went to take the box of food.
Qin and Ke observed, trying to figure out something. In the end, this time, Chang Qingshan and Niu Youdao seemed to be polite to each other and didn't say much.
At the dining table, Niu Youdao ate slowly. After the two of them finished eating, Niu Youdao said, "You two go outside and keep watch."
"Yes!" The two of them acknowledged the order and left.
Niu Youdao, who was sitting at the dining table, stared at the door and slowly put down his chopsticks. He reached out and grabbed the lid of the box that he had flipped upside down when he opened the box. He flipped it over and a folded secret document was stuck inside the lid.
He rolled up the document and put it into his sleeve. Then, he tidied up the table and the box of food. He carried it to the door and told the two of them, "You two stay outside and keep watch. Don't disturb me. If anyone comes, warn me immediately."
"Yes!" The two of them answered. Even though they didn't know what he was up to, they still did as he said.
After closing the door and windows, Niu Youdao walked to the side of the bed. He waved his sleeves and swept the surface of the bed. He took out something from his sleeves and spread it out on the bed. It was a map of the Sacred Land and the situation of the various divisions that he wanted. He sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly read through it.
It was the last day, and some people couldn't help but come to disturb him. Just as he was engrossed in reading, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qin Guan's voice came from outside, "Elder, Elder Fu Hua and the others are requesting an audience."
"This new door is quite an eyesore." Hong Gaitian's cheerful voice came from outside.
Niu Youdao quickly folded the document and stuffed it into the quilt on the bed. After sitting cross-legged, he calmly replied, "Please."
The door creaked open and a series of footsteps entered. Apart from Fu Hua and the others who often hung out here, there was no one else.
The few of them entered and discovered that Niu Youdao was actually sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating. Fu Hua immediately asked, "Brother, have you decided on which division to go to?"
Niu Youdao put his feet down, got up and shook his head. "Not yet."
Fu Hua was surprised. "Then you still have the mood to meditate and cultivate? This is the last day. "
Niu Youdao said, "There's nothing wrong with emptying your mind and reorganizing your thoughts. Have you made your choice?"
The few of them had their hands clasped behind their backs, crossed their arms, or placed their hands on their hips. They shook their heads helplessly. Quan Taifeng said, "How should we choose? We don't understand the situation, and we know almost nothing about the internal affairs of the Misty Pavilion. We don't even know where to go. If we choose left, we'll be afraid of encountering trouble. If we choose right, we'll be afraid of encountering trouble. We really can't decide. "
As he said this, he pointed at the big guy, and then at Niu Youdao. "We often come out to take a walk, or to discuss, or to inquire about information from others. But you, you're like a lady from a noble family, hiding in your room and rarely going out. You look very calm. Do you have any ideas?"
