He admitted it honestly.
Ding Wei's mouth twitched. It was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either.
To put it in a small way, it was a personal grudge. To put it in a big way, Niu Youdao's identity was clear, and Xuan Yao was targeting the inspector appointed by The Lord.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that Xuan Yao was taking revenge on you?" Ding Wei asked coldly.
Niu Youdao replied, "It's just a deduction based on the various signs."
Ding Wei continued, "In other words, you don't have any evidence. It's just your own guess. How dare you report to The Lord just based on your guess?"
Niu Youdao replied, "It's true that I'm only reporting to The Lord. It's not up to me whether I have any evidence or not. The Lord will decide how to deal with it. If The Lord punishes me, I'll accept it. Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you're reminding me that I can't report to The Lord without any evidence? "
The corner of Ding Wei's mouth twitched again, and his chest was filled with anger. The other party's words seemed to be respectful, but in fact, there were needles hidden in them. He was contradicting him and using The Lord to pressure him.
However, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly explained, "I did not mean that. As long as it is within your jurisdiction, I will not interfere." It was impossible for him to give such a warning. Was he not allowed to report to The Lord without any evidence?
Niu Youdao bowed slightly, "Thank you for your understanding, Sir. I don't mean anything else. Since I'm the Lord, I just want to do my best and not slack off. If I find anything unusual, I will not hide anything from The Lord. "
"Good! Very good. "Ding Wei nodded and suddenly said," Get lost! "
"Yes!" Niu Youdao cupped his fists and left just like that.
Ding Wei stood in the hall and watched him leave. He squinted his eyes and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.
If it was any other time, he would have slaughtered Niu Youdao immediately. But then again, under normal circumstances, Niu Youdao wouldn't dare to speak to him like this. He was relying on his identity and the fact that the Misty Pavilion didn't have the power to kill him, so no one in the Misty Pavilion dared to touch him openly.
Before Xuan Yao was arrested, he would not have dared to say such words. However, after seeing Xuan Yao being arrested and seeing The Lord's attitude, he dared to do so!
Slowly walking out of the main hall, Ding Weiyi flung his cloak behind him and walked down the stairs, heading straight for the place where Xuan Yao was being interrogated.
This time, he had come personally for Xuan Yao. With him here personally, he could prevent other forces from interfering with Xuan Yao's interrogation.
Did he take revenge on Niu Youdao? He knew in his heart that there was definitely such a thing, and he had more or less acquiesced to it.
A mere sect elder actually dared to point his sword at his people. He was simply looking down on him.
He had said before that he would skin Niu Youdao alive. However, Ao Feng had appeared as a witness, so he had no reason to do it forcefully. Hence, Niu Youdao had managed to escape.
Now that Niu Youdao had become the inspector of the Misty Pavilion, he could no longer do anything openly. Naturally, he had acquiesced to his subordinates' conspiracy.
No one would have thought that Niu Youdao had the guts to tell The Lord about his feelings without any evidence and only based on his speculation. However, The Lord had personally ordered for an investigation to be carried out without any evidence!
Xuan Yao was Ding Wei's confidant. Many secrets had passed through Xuan Yao's hands, so it was impossible for him not to protect Xuan Yao.
Xuan Yao knew what he could say and what he couldn't. He didn't want to implicate himself.
The problem was, if he could not even protect his confidant because of this, how would he be able to convince the public in the future?
Protecting Xuan Yao might cause some suspicion, but he still had to do it. That was also the reason why he came personally …
As soon as Niu Youdao left the central headquarters, Qin and Ke who were waiting outside immediately came to welcome him.
"Elder Niu!" Taishu Shanhai and the rest who were waiting outside also came to greet him.
"Let's go!" Niu Youdao ignored them and left with Qin and Ke.
Qin and Ke exchanged glances and realized that the elder did not give any face to the seven sects. However, after following Niu Youdao for so long, they more or less understood the elder's style of doing things. There must be a reason for this.
Taishu Shanhai and the rest looked at each other in shock. An Shougui muttered, "I wonder what Ding Wei said when he asked him to stay."
Previously, the deacon of the Demonic Fox Department, Long Fanhai, was very friendly towards Niu Youdao. Now, he was talking to Ding Wei alone. It was obvious that something was wrong. What was going on? The group of people felt like a cat was scratching their hearts.
After everyone gathered together and muttered for a while, they didn't care about their dignity anymore and chased after him, heading straight for the Demon Fox Division where Niu Youdao was.
When Niu Youdao returned to the entrance of the courtyard, the group of people caught up with him. Elder Mei Zhanghong shouted, "Elder Niu, please wait!"
Niu Youdao stopped and turned around. "What are you doing?"
Mei Zhanghong said, "Elder Niu, is the matter that we discussed before the Imperfection Guarding Mountain Villa still valid?"
He did not directly say that they would join forces against the Misty Pavilion because there was a guard at the entrance. Some words could not be revealed to the Misty Pavilion.
Niu Youdao also glanced at the guard, Qu Lingkun. He had seen him yesterday. Today, it was his turn to be on duty again.
Niu Youdao's gaze returned to everyone's faces as he casually said, "What's there to say to a group of people who are about to die?" After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked up the stairs, heading straight inside.
The group of people wanted to follow him into the courtyard, but just as they went up the stairs, Niu Youdao suddenly said, "Close the door! Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter. Trespassers will be killed without mercy! "
Creak! Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie quickly closed the door.
After getting the door slammed in their face, they almost crashed into the door. The elders outside were speechless and looked at each other.
A mere high wall could not stop them. They could enter with a single leap, but 'rules' were the highest walls in the world.
They dared to barge in! Niu Youdao had said to kill without mercy.
Of course, Niu Youdao's two underlings were just shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so they couldn't kill them mercilessly. But the problem was, if they broke in and started fighting, then they would be in trouble. The Misty Pavilion wasn't a place where they could do whatever they wanted, or else they would have to bear the consequences.
"Who does he think he is?" An Shougui spat and walked down the stairs.
The group of people left the entrance slowly. Huangfu Jin, the elder of Qingyue Villa, asked in a low voice, "He said we are people who are about to die. What does that mean?"
God knows what he meant. Anyway, the group of people looked solemn. It seemed that Niu Youdao did not intend to work with them, and was prepared to fight alone. Fighting alone was no better than working with everyone else. They guessed that Niu Youdao must have known something.
Long Fanhai's attitude and Ding Wei's private conversation were the best proof.
Because of Niu Youdao's words, the group of people who were walking slowly were shrouded in a layer of haze.
Qu Lingkun, who was guarding the door, tilted his head to look at the group of people leaving. He had personally witnessed the situation just now and realized that Niu Youdao didn't care about this group of people at all. This group of people didn't even get angry. This matter was indeed a little interesting. He was prepared to report this to the people behind him later.
In the courtyard, Qin Guan personally brewed tea and served it to Niu Youdao in the pavilion, placing it in front of him.
Ke Dingjie, who had been checking at the entrance, came back and smiled. "Elder, they have all left."
"If they don't leave, do you think they can barge in?" Niu Youdao said as he picked up the teacup.
Ke Dingjie hesitated and said, "Elder, I think they were talking about working together to fight against the Misty Pavilion."
Niu Youdao took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. "Didn't they want to leave us behind?"
Ke Dingjie said, "Elder, forgive me for being blunt, but this is not the time to be angry. Fighting alone is not as good as working together."
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly. "Rather than begging them, it is better for them to beg us. It is not the right time to torture them. Don't worry, I have my own plans. " Then, he smiled and said, "There is a response to our plea to The Lord. Just now, Xuan Yao was caught!"
"Ah!" The two were surprised and happy. Qin Guan said happily, "This is good news. Xuan Yao is a vengeful person. It is good to get rid of him."
Niu Youdao said, "You are thinking too much. The Heaven Seeking City is the center of the Misty Pavilion in the Saint State. Xuan Yao is in charge of this place on behalf of Ding Wei. He must be Ding Wei's confidant. With Ding Wei in charge of the Misty Pavilion, Xuan Yao will not be hurt by this kind of thing without any evidence. "
The two frowned. Qin Guan said, "Since you know you can't hurt him, why did you still provoke him? Wouldn't that make him hate you even more?"
Ke Dingjie also sighed, "That's right, Elder, it's not worth it just to be angry for a moment. You're being reckless, the Misty Pavilion will not let you go. Sooner or later, they will find you for this."
"Do we still have a way out? Fighting for survival is the only choice! Don't worry too much. I know what to do. Ke Dingjie, the map we talked about yesterday is on the shelf. Take Qin Guan there to have a good look. "
"Yes!"
After the two went into the house, Niu Youdao stood up and walked out of the pavilion. He opened the door and coughed.
Qu Lingkun, who was guarding outside the door, entered and took out something wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve. He reminded him, "I will add something for you when I deliver the food."
Niu Youdao nodded. He understood what he meant. Why did he have to come in? Qu Lingkun would find an excuse to say that he was here to add some food.
…
In the dungeon, Ding Wei looked through the statement submitted by the interrogator and found nothing wrong. He threw the statement back and told the irrelevant people to leave. He walked deeper into the dungeon.
Hearing footsteps and seeing Ding Wei outside the cell, Xuan Yao immediately went up and asked through the bars, "Sir, is it Niu Youdao who complained?"
He was not stupid. As soon as the interrogator asked, he knew that he was investigating him for his personal revenge.
Ding Wei nodded, "It will not be a problem if there is no evidence. However, it is not right to let you go immediately. It will make me look like I am protecting you. You will stay here for another three days and be interrogated a few more times. "
"Yes!" Xuan Yao agreed. He was relieved that Sir was protecting him. If he really wanted to fight, he would lose a layer of skin even if he did not die.
Being suddenly imprisoned and losing face, he could not help but feel resentful. "This Niu Youdao is too arrogant. He dared to plead his case to the Holy Venerable Lord without any evidence. Last night, he released his golden wings. I wonder what he reported to the Holy Venerable Lord."
