Of course, on second thought, it was reasonable to assign him to the Demonic Fox Bureau. Just like what Ke Dingjie said, it was too easy to kill someone in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. If something happened in other places, it would be hard to explain. If something happened in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, they could blame it on the Demonic Foxes.
"Don't worry. You are inspectors. You have the right to choose how you want to investigate. It's not up to them to show you what they want. If they want you to go to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, you can just refuse." Niu Youdao comforted the two.
Ke Dingjie said, "Elder, I'm afraid that's not appropriate. The main mission of the Demonic Fox Bureau is to hunt Demonic Foxes. Is it reasonable not to go to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland?"
Niu Youdao said, "Someone is obviously trying to take revenge on me. It's against me, not you. If you don't go, they won't care. If you have to go, I will go. If there's any trouble, I will deal with it. You can rest assured. "
"Elder, this …" The two were a little embarrassed. How could they let the elders of the sect go when they knew there was danger?
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop them. "Alright, say no more. It's settled." He stood up. "I haven't had a good bath in a long time."
Qin and Ke looked at each other. They knew what he meant and prepared to go.
Yuan Gang had told them that Niu Youdao liked to bathe. If possible, they should prepare once a day. They didn't have such conditions in the Shouque Villa.
Everything was prepared. In one of the rooms, the water rippled and Niu Youdao sank into the water naked.
He did like to bathe. More accurately, he liked to think while soaking in the water.
It felt warm and gave him a sense of security. He didn't feel lonely. Some loneliness had nothing to do with the people around him. After soaking, he felt relaxed and enlightened.
After soaking for a while, Niu Youdao came out of the water in the evening. He had just changed into Misty Pavilion clothes and was looking at himself in the mirror when Qin Guan knocked on the door and entered. He reported, "Elder, the Kunlin Tree is here."
Niu Youdao nodded, indicating that he understood.
After tidying himself up and looking neat and tidy, he slowly walked out with his sword.
When Kun Lin Shu, who was waiting in the courtyard, saw him appear, he stepped forward and bowed. "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao gestured for them to take a seat in the pavilion. At the same time, he gestured for the servants to serve tea.
Kun Linshu wasn't on equal footing with him. For some reason, Niu Youdao didn't force him. He asked, "Why did you have the time to come here? Was the Heavenly Fire Order willing to let you come?"
Kun Linshu hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I heard Taishu Shanhai send someone to inform them that they are gathering the other six sects to the Inspection Department to discuss something."
Niu Youdao immediately understood why he was here. Seven out of the eight sects that remained in the Saint Land had met up to discuss something, but they did not inform this side. Kun Linshu was here to remind this side to be careful.
"Alright, got it." Niu Youdao nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment, Ke Dingjie, who was negotiating with someone at the door, walked in quickly and reported, "Elder, the Demon Fox Deacon, Long Fanhai is here."
Niu Youdao replied with an "Oh" and looked towards the main entrance. He was a little surprised to see Long Fanhai not enter directly and had actually followed the etiquette of letting someone announce his arrival first. He quickly got up and walked to the entrance to personally welcome him.
Outside the door, Long Fanhai was leading two people, each carrying two food boxes.
"Deacon is here. Oh, my apologies, please come in." Niu Youdao, who was walking down the stairs, invited him.
Long Fanhai followed him cheerfully. As he walked up the stairs, he said, "I hope I didn't disturb you."
Niu Youdao replied politely, "Don't say that. The Demon Fox Deacon has the final say. Deacons of the Demon Fox Deacon can go anywhere."
"Brother Niu isn't my subordinate. It's too polite to address Deacon as it sounds distant. I feel like old friends at first sight. From now on, we can just address each other as brothers."
"Since Deacon is so generous, I'll accept it. From now on, I'll address you as Brother Long."
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie looked at each other. When they first met, this Deacon Long was still cold and aloof. Why did his attitude change in the blink of an eye?
After entering the pavilion, Long Fanhai waved his hand to signal. The two attendants immediately opened the food boxes and placed them on the table.
Niu Youdao looked surprised, "Brother Long, what's the meaning of this?"
Long Fanhai said, "Brother Niu, it's your first time at the Demon Fox Deacon. It's only right for me to welcome you and prepare a small banquet. I hope Brother Niu won't mind."
Niu Youdao cupped his hands and said politely, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
As the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Kun Linshu took the opportunity to bid farewell to Qin Guan and asked him to inform Niu Youdao before he left.
He had only come over to give Niu Youdao a reminder and had nothing else to do. Since Niu Youdao had an esteemed guest, he would leave first.
After a while, Long Fanhai suddenly asked with concern, "Brother, are you used to living here? If you are not used to it, we can change to another courtyard. "
Niu Youdao waved his hand, "It's alright, it's much better than when we were at Shouque Villa. It's good enough to have a quiet courtyard for the three of us." He then raised his glass, "Thank you, Brother Long, for your arrangements."
"You're welcome. If you need anything, just let me know. As long as it's within my means, I will not have any problems. "Long Fanhai raised his glass and drank with him.
After some pleasantries, Long Fanhai put down his glass and went straight to the point. He asked, "I heard from my subordinates that you released a golden wing today?"
Niu Youdao smiled reservedly, "It's true."
Long Fanhai asked again, "The one that contacted The Lord?"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "Apart from that one, I have no other place to release it."
Long Fanhai sighed, "Brother, did I do something wrong? Otherwise, why would I need to tell The Lord about it the moment I arrived?"
Niu Youdao replied, "It's nothing. I was just greeting The Lord."
Who are you? Greeting The Lord? Would The Lord have time to deal with you? Don't you have any self-awareness? It would be strange if Long Fanhai believed him. He chuckled, "Brother, I'm afraid that you're exaggerating. Do you think that I have done something wrong?"
Niu Youdao's face darkened, "Brother Long, are you trying to find out the content of the communication between The Lord and me?"
Long Fanhai waved his hand, "Brother, don't misunderstand me. It's just that I'm not sure what I did wrong. If there's anything wrong, why don't you remind me? We will try our best to correct it."
Niu Youdao did not fall for it and said coldly, "Remind me? Alright, I will not do anything shady. Let me remind you first. I will report to The Lord about Brother Long trying to find out the content of the communication between The Lord and me! "
"…" Long Fanhai's expression froze. His hand that was holding the wine glass trembled subconsciously. He looked like he had swallowed a live fly. His Adam's apple moved a little. Spying on The Lord? He would die if he was accused of that.
His gaze fell on the table full of food and wine. He had prepared a table full of food and wine with good intentions, but all he got in return was this. He had never thought that this would happen.
Long Fanhai's subordinates were silent.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie looked at each other from the corner of their eyes. They could feel the awkwardness in the pavilion.
Both of them felt that the elder's attitude was a little unkind. Was it appropriate for him to treat them like this when they were receiving him warmly?
Long Fanhai smiled awkwardly when he regained his senses, "Brother, you've misunderstood me. I have no intention of spying on The Lord."
Niu Youdao suddenly laughed, "Brother Long, I'm just joking, I'm just joking. If I'm really so unreasonable, how can I continue to live in the future? "
Long Fanhai was relieved and pointed at him with a bitter smile, "Brother, you're joking a little too much."
His intention of spying on Niu Youdao was gone, and he did not dare to ask anymore. However, his attitude towards Niu Youdao was getting warmer and warmer, as if he was his own brother.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie had learned their lesson. They realized that the Elder was right. People were despicable. The more impolite you were, the less people would dare provoke you. The Elder was magnanimous. He had started the fight the moment he arrived …
In a courtyard of the Inspection Office, Taishu Shanhai's residence was also receiving guests. However, there was no good food or wine, only a few cups of tea.
Taishu Shanhai informed the Inspection Office that he was preparing a banquet to receive the guests, but the Inspection Office said that they were not prepared. To put it bluntly, they were ignoring him.
Left with no choice, Taishu Shanhai could only treat the guests with tea. There were no other guests, other than the people from the other sects.
Heavenly Fire Order Elder Lu Yao, Wan Shou Sect Elder An Shougui, Sky Breaker Palace Elder Yu Hua, and Blood God Temple Elder Mei Zhanghong. The other two were Jin Nation Mo Tian Sect Elder Lei Sheng, and Qingyue Villa Elder Huangfu Jin. With the Cloud Equipment Sect present, these two sects were just decorations.
The other sects had arrived first, but Wan Shou Sect Elder An Shougui was the last to arrive. He was obviously unhappy with Taishu Shanhai and deliberately made him wait.
When he entered and saw everyone seated in the living room, An Shougui snorted, "Taishu Shanhai, what's the matter?"
His attitude made Taishu Shanhai very unhappy, but he did not show it on the surface. He gestured for them to sit.
An Shougui was unmoved. He stood there and said, "If you have something to say, then say it!"
Taishu Shanhai stood up. "Alright, I've gathered all of you here today just to ask you a question. Previously, when we were at Guarding Deficiency Mountain Villa, do we still keep our promise?"
Everyone looked left and right to see the reactions of others.
An Shougui snorted. "I think there's one more sect that hasn't arrived."
Taishu Shanhai said, "You mean Niu Youdao? He's not happy with the other sects, who would want to ally with him? Besides, his Demon Fox Sect is only in charge of hunting demon foxes, and has nothing to do with other sects. He won't be able to provide any useful information. I don't think we need to care about his life or death. "
Hearing this, the crowd did not have any objections. At least, no one objected.
Taishu Shanhai observed everyone's reactions and ignored Niu Youdao. "Everyone knows our situation. It's getting more and more difficult for us. The plan we discussed at Shouque Villa seems to still be effective. We're all on the same side, this is the way to last. What do you all think?"
At this moment, Taishu Xun appeared outside the door and reported, "Elder, Heavenly Fire Sect's disciple wishes to see you. He said he has something to report to Elder Lu."
Heavenly Fire Sect's Elder Lu Yao stood up and was about to leave when Taishu Shanhai suddenly said, "Brother Lu, what can be important here? If it's about the Misty Pavilion, why don't you tell us? "
