Yan Li didn't care about this. He looked around and admired the courtyard that had been occupied by the people of the thatched hut for a long time. He slowly folded his arms in front of his abdomen and coldly said, "In accordance with the agreement between the Purple Golden Cave and Elder Niu, I must apologize to everyone. According to the agreement and the rules of the sect, Purple Golden Cave does not allow a large number of outsiders to stay here. Please leave immediately. "
Guan Fangyi naturally knew about this agreement. She also knew that with Niu Youdao's death, no one would be able to stay here. Forcing them to stay would bring danger. Therefore, Niu Youdao had already given her a predetermined order. Leave!
Guan Fangyi nodded and said, "Of course I will obey. However, with so many people suddenly leaving, we need some time to prepare. If we leave immediately, it will be difficult for us."
Yan Li indifferently said, "Purple Golden Cave will not be unreasonable. I will give you half a day. After half a day, if there are still people staying here, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"This is a family property with so many people. How can we finish packing in half a day?" Guan Fangyi questioned. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she understood. She smiled bitterly and said, "Daoye just died, and he died for Purple Golden Cave. Purple Golden Cave turned around and forced us like this. Isn't this too unreasonable?"
"Rules are rules!" Yan Li threw down these words and turned around to leave. The accompanying disciples all felt a sense of schadenfreude. They all knew that their master was clearly taking revenge.
Yan Li was indeed taking revenge, but he felt that this revenge was not strong enough. However, Gong Lince had warned him not to go too far.
The reason was simple. Just like what he had discussed with Niu Youdao, Purple Golden Cave still wanted to smoothly take over Shang Chaozong's power. If they went too far now, it would put Shang Chaozong in a difficult position. It would be hard to explain to Shang Chaozong.
For a moment of anger, there was no need to cause more important twists and turns. Therefore, Gong Lince restrained his Junior Martial Brother.
Of course, it was also a chance for Yan Li to vent his anger.
Ju An witnessed this scene and slowly walked to Wen Mo 'er's side. The husband and wife looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They could not influence Yan Li's decision.
Yan Li and his entourage seemed to be afraid that the others in the Thatched Cottage did not know about Niu Youdao's death, so they greeted and reminded everyone along the way.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the thatched cottage was in a state of panic.
Duan Hu and Wu San 'er, who heard the news, immediately rushed to the depths of the courtyard. Yuan Gang was obviously still unaware of the news. He was currently bare-chested and training his body. The muscles on his body gave people a visual impact.
"Lord Yuan, something happened to Daoye …" Duan Hu quickly explained the situation as he walked to the metal pole.
Yuan Gang stopped cultivating and flipped down from the iron bar. His expression was solemn.
Duan Hu asked in a low voice, "Master Yuan, is Daoye really dead? That imposter … "
Yuan Gang tilted his head and said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"
Duan Hu could only shut up and quickly observe the surroundings. After exchanging glances with Wu San 'er, the two of them looked at Yuan Gang anxiously, hoping to get a definite answer.
Others might not know, but the two of them were the ones who had personally experienced the 'fake Niu Youdao'. The matter of the fake Niu Youdao was a strictly confidential matter. In the entire thatched cottage, only the three of them knew about it. Furthermore, it was Yuan Gang who had secretly arranged it. Now that news of Niu Youdao's death suddenly came, it was hard for the two of them not to be suspicious. They both thought that Yuan Gang knew more inside information.
Yuan Gang did not reply. He returned to his room and closed the door with a bang.
The two people who followed outside were almost hit by the door. Wu San 'er gently knocked on the door and called out, "Lord Yuan!"
"Let me have some peace." Yuan Gang replied from inside the room.
The two people outside the door could only give up. However, they could not calm down. They silently paced back and forth in the courtyard, hoping to wait for Yuan Gang to come out.
Yuan Gang's reaction really made the two of them a little uncertain.
In the silence in the room, Yuan Gang slowly lowered his body and sat on the ground. His face was tense, and he was silent.
He actually didn't know much. Perhaps it was because there were some things that weren't suitable to be described in a letter, but Niu Youdao didn't tell him about the other plans. He only instructed him to secretly carry out the fraud. He really did not know what the fake Niu Youdao was used for.
Now that the news of Niu Youdao's death suddenly came, he was caught unprepared and did not know if it was real or not.
With his hot-blooded and impulsive personality, the reason why he could calm down now was because he had the same suspicion as Duan Hu and Wu San 'er. Could it be Daoye's plan to escape?
He had been sending news to the Saint Land regularly, but Daoye had not replied to him for a while.
This made him feel uneasy.
He tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart and comforted himself that Daoye should be fine. He should be fine.
He understood Niu Youdao. He thought that with Daoye's ability to run amok in the pugilistic world, he should be fine.
He could not verify the truth of the matter at the moment, so he could only comfort himself and shut himself in the room alone.
Outside, Guan Fangyi came. Her eyes were red and her makeup was smudged. It was obvious that she had cried and was holding back her grief.
Seeing Duan Hu and Wu San 'er, Guan Fangyi asked, "Where is Monkey?"
Duan Hu replied, "In the room."
Guan Fangyi walked over. Duan Hu reminded her again, "Hong Niang, Master Yuan said that he wants some peace."
Guan Fangyi stopped and turned back to ask, "He already knows?"
The two nodded. Wu San 'er said, "I just told him."
Guan Fangyi glanced at the closed door in broad daylight and seemed to understand something. She did not disturb them anymore and sighed, "If he wants some peace, then let him have some peace. But … you should have heard about the situation. Yan Li is forcing us to leave and only gave us half a day to pack up. If we delay, Yan Li will take the opportunity to make things difficult for us. I know that he is feeling bad and so is everyone else. But we still have to face the reality. You two should go back and persuade him to pack up as soon as possible. "
The two nodded and cupped their hands to send her off.
Guan Fangyi left in a daze. All these years, Niu Youdao had treated her well.
Although she did not usually say anything good about Niu Youdao, she knew that it was rare to meet someone as reliable and reassuring as Niu Youdao. After spending some time with him, she had developed feelings for him. It was not the kind of love between a man and a woman, but more like a sincere family.
Hearing the bad news, she felt really sad and wanted to find a place to cry. But she had no choice. She still had to stabilize the situation in Thatched Cottage and carry out the tasks left by Niu Youdao. She also had to settle the people in Thatched Cottage.
Niu Youdao's arrangements when he was alive were just to guard against the unexpected. She had not expected that they would actually reach this step. Guan Fangyi felt desolate.
Just as she walked out of the door, she saw Fire Phoenix rushing over. She pulled her and said with a panicked face, "Hong Niang, I heard that Daoye met with misfortune in the Sacred Region?"
Guan Fangyi was upset by her words, but she was also afraid that she would be upset. She grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry. The Misty Pavilion only asked Purple Golden Cave to send in a replacement. They did not mention the kunlin tree. Your husband should be fine."
Not knowing the situation was more worrisome. Fire Phoenix knew that everyone was in a bad mood and did not know what to say. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She then asked, "I heard that Purple Golden Cave gave us half a day to leave?"
Guan Fangyi sighed, "Daoye is no longer here and Purple Golden Cave cannot accommodate us. Let's go. Don't worry, we won't leave you behind. Come with us right? "
Fire Phoenix was at a loss. If she didn't go with these people, then where could she go? She sobbed and nodded.
Guan Fangyi comforted her and told her to go back and pack.
He had just sent off Fire Phoenix and had only taken a few steps when he saw Yuan Fang hurriedly rushing over. He was dressed in monk's robes and was flinging his wide sleeves.
He did not bother to greet Fire Phoenix who passed by him and ran in front of Guan Fangyi. Yuan Fang's face was full of fear, "Hong Niang, they said that Daoye did that. Is … is that true?"
Guan Fangyi bit her lips and nodded silently.
Yuan Fang's face fell and turned into a bitter gourd. He waved his sleeves around like a headless fly, "How can this be? How can this be? What kind of person is Daoye? It has always been Daoye who harmed others. How could he be harmed by others? This is impossible! "
He suddenly stopped and faced Guan Fangyi. He spread his hands, "I heard that Purple Golden Cave wants to chase us away. Daoye is no longer here. What should we do?"
Guan Fangyi forced a smile, "Don't worry. You are better than us. You can stay here."
"I can stay here? No, no, no … "Yuan Fang waved his hands," I don't dare to stay. Those people are against us. When Daoye was here, they were afraid of Daoye. Now that Daoye is gone, they have nothing to worry about. When they come back, they will bully us to death. They have the advantage in numbers. I am not their match. "
He made it sound like if Purple Golden Cave did not have the advantage in numbers, he would be their match.
After waving his hands, he stared at them and asked, "Where are you going? We will go with you. "
Guan Fangyi sighed, "There are some muddy waters. How can you get out so easily? When Daoye was here, we could take care of you. Now that Daoye is gone, we are in a difficult situation. How can we lead a group of ordinary monks to run around? Are you going to abandon those monks? "
Abandoning the monks of Nanshan Temple involved his own belief. Yuan Fang could not do it. He was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.
Guan Fangyi continued, "This is actually Daoye's idea when he was alive. Daoye said that you have the secret method of brewing wine in your hands. It is a way to make money. As long as you are willing to stay, Purple Golden Cave will treat you well. They will not make things difficult for you. Staying in Purple Golden Cave will ensure your safety. If you follow us, you will be coveted by others and bring danger to us. "
"Buddha, I am greedy. If you want to punish me, punish me alone!" Yuan Fang put his palms together and prayed regretfully. He regretted being too greedy and keeping all kinds of ways to make money in his hands. For example, the secret method of brewing wine. Now, it had become a shackle around his neck.
Guan Fangyi was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him. She walked away directly.
She knew this evil monk too well. Right now, it was just a temporary repentance. When there was a chance later, he would get what he wanted. As long as one's nature was hard to change, even Buddha would not be able to dissuade him.
Sometimes, she also felt strange. It was strange that Niu Youdao did not care about meat or vegetables. He dared to take in all kinds of people. Why did he take in this kind of evil monk with no moral character? Why did he need these monks to serve tea, plow the fields, and serve food?
Yuan Fang closed his eyes and prayed. He looked around and found that Guan Fangyi had disappeared. He immediately flung his sleeves and ran away. No one knew what he was going to do.
