Just like what his disciple had reported, Yuan Fang bowed and bowed as soon as he came in.
Of course, with Gong Lince's status, there were countless people who bowed and bowed to him. Even the Yan Emperor had to be polite to him, so he was used to it. However, Yuan Fang was a little different.
Gong Lince had a certain impression of Yuan Fang. From afar, he looked like an enlightened monk, but when he got closer, he immediately became a coward. It was interesting.
"Don't stand on ceremony. Tell me, why do you want to see me?" Gong Lince said indifferently.
"Sect Leader, it's like this. I heard that the people of the Thatched Cottage are leaving the Purple Gold Cave. I and the other monks of the South Mountain Temple have other ideas. They want to stay in the Purple Gold Cave and continue to serve the Purple Gold Cave." Yuan Fang bent his back and carefully observed the other's reaction.
"Continue to serve?" Gong Lince said coldly, "You speak as if you've worked for Purple Gold Cave. Have you? Why don't I have any impression? "
Thump! Yuan Fang suddenly lowered his body and knelt in front of Gong Lince.
This happened without any warning. Gong Lince was almost startled by him. He was startled and asked, "Why are you bowing to me?"
The rims of Yuan Fang's eyes reddened, and he looked like he was about to cry. "Sect Leader, I was foolish and ignorant in the past. We are a group of monks, and we are really ignorant of the ways of the world. I was really bewitched by the people from Thatched Cottage. Now that Niu Youdao is dead, the monkeys scatter when the tree falls. I finally saw their ugly faces and am filled with regret. I'm willing to join Purple Gold Cave. Please, Sect Leader, give me a chance to forgive myself. " As he said this, his snot and tears came out. He lifted his sleeves and wiped them. It was unknown how much bitterness he had suffered.
Gong Lince couldn't help but stare at him for a while. After he recovered, he asked, "Ugly faces? What kind of ugly face is it? Tell me. "
Yuan Fang nodded and complained, "Let's not talk about others. Just the main culprit, Niu Youdao, is a bastard. He's worse than a beast! We were originally cultivating in the mountains, but we were forcefully captured by him. We are a group of monks who eat vegetarian and pray to Buddha, but you force us to slaughter and cook meat every day, making us repent in front of Buddha day and night. He even ordered us around like servants, doing all kinds of chores and serving his basic necessities. If we didn't get what he wanted, he would beat and scold us. His evil deeds were too numerous to list! "
"Also, Niu Youdao's lackey, Yuan Gang, is even more infuriating. He has repeatedly punched and kicked This Penniless Monk. This is not a lie. Many people have witnessed it with their own eyes. This Penniless Monk has been living a life worse than death all these years …"
Each and every one of the Purple Golden Cave disciples at the side twitched their mouths.
Gong Lince was expressionless as he said condescendingly, "If that's the case, then those people are really despicable. Then why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't it a little too late now?"
Choking with sobs, Yuan Fang said, "Sect Leader, please understand. When that thief Niu was still alive, his power was great. Poor monk was afraid of his tyrannical power; in order to protect the lives of the monks in the Temple, I had no choice but to live. Now that this is a good opportunity, I sincerely ask Sect Leader to take me in! "
Gong Lince clasped his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Yuan Fang, do you know who you just scolded? Niu Youdao, Elder Niu, he is an Elder of my Purple Golden Cave. Is it appropriate for you to scold him in front of me like this? "
Even if Yuan Fang didn't know anything, he had been here for a long time after all. Of course, he knew about the insincere relationship between Niu Youdao and Purple Golden Cave. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and said righteously, "In front of Sect Leader, this Penniless Monk doesn't dare to speak nonsense. Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. To be honest with Sect Leader, if it wasn't for that thief Niu's power, if it wasn't for the fear of the monks' lives, this Penniless Monk would have thrown caution to the wind. I would have poisoned Niu Youdao's food and poisoned him to death! Today's retribution is truly a good death! "
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows. He realized that this Penniless Monk really dared to say anything in order to join Purple Golden Cave. He really wanted to draw a clear line between him and Niu Youdao!
Gong Lince was puzzled. Niu Youdao was considered a prominent figure. He was able to get the Measureless Fruit, which many people coveted but couldn't get. How could he make a mistake and take in such a traitor? This bald thief had been serving Niu Youdao for many years, but Niu Youdao didn't notice it at all. How dare he let him serve him?
Seeing that Gong Lince didn't say anything, Yuan Fang didn't know what he was thinking. He added, "This Penniless Monk and the others have the method of brewing wine from Thatched Cottage. We are willing to serve Sect Leader. Please accept us!"
Gong Lince's eyes flickered. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Niu Youdao … Hmm, did the people from Thatched Cottage agree to let you leave?"
Yuan Fang said firmly, "I don't need the people from Thatched Cottage to agree. In Purple Golden Cave, it's not up to them to decide. I can make the decision myself."
Originally, it was Guan Fangyi who asked him to join them out of kindness. However, in order to draw a clear line between him and Thatched Cottage, Yuan Fang insisted that it was his idea.
Gong Lince nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I understand your intention. You can go back first."
"Sect Leader …" Yuan Fang still wanted a definite answer.
Gong Lince said, "Go back first. Someone will make arrangements. I still have important matters to attend to. I don't have time to accompany you. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Fang took it as a yes. He beamed with joy and kowtowed to Gong Lince before getting up. Then, he bowed and left.
When Yuan Fang was gone, Gong Lince muttered, "What the hell?!"
He turned around and asked the disciple beside him, "Did you hear what he said just now?"
The disciple replied, "Yes."
Gong Lince said, "Go to Thatched Cottage and look for Hong Niang. Tell her what he said just now. Let them handle it themselves."
"This …" The disciple hesitated and reminded, "Master, the wine brewing method is a way to make money. Since this thieving baldy is willing to work for us, why don't we go with the flow?"
Gong Lince asked in return, "What way to make money? Can't you see how chaotic the Qin Kingdom is now? I know this clearly and I will make a decision! "
"Yes!" The disciple cupped his hands and accepted the order. He then quickly left.
Gong Lince paced back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep this way of making money, but the current situation had changed. It wasn't appropriate for him to stay.
The reason was because of Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao even wanted to get back a few birds. This way of making money would not be easily given away. In short, Niu Youdao would definitely not let it go so easily. There was no need to make a fuss at this time …
In Guan Fangyi's room, Niu Youdao was instructing Yuan Gang on some matters.
After a while, Guan Fangyi who went out for a while came back. Niu Youdao asked, "Why is Gong Lince's disciple looking for you?"
Guan Fangyi seemed to be gritting her teeth. "Yuan Fang is too much of a scumbag. Previously, I kindly let him stay in Zijin Cave. In order to surrender, this thieving monk actually ran to Gong Lince to confuse right and wrong. He cried bitterly and spouted nonsense …"
She relayed what Gong Lince's disciple told her. The reminder was meant to scold Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang's eyes turned cold as he looked at Niu Youdao.
The corner of Niu Youdao's mouth rose. He chuckled. "This old bear really can't change his ways!"
Guan Fangyi felt a little strange. "Why did Gong Lince ask his disciple to tell me this?"
Niu Youdao smiled. She did not know, but he did. He understood Gong Lince's intention the moment he heard it.
He and Gong Lince's current situation did not allow for carelessness. It was too dangerous to have someone like Yuan Fang by their side. Once they came into close contact, the secret that he was still alive would be easily exposed. Gong Lince was reminding him to be careful and to get rid of this hidden danger.
These words were not meant for Guan Fangyi, but for him.
Yuan Gang spoke up. "I'll handle it."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly. However, he reminded him, "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Only by allowing diversity will there be room for adjustment. Who hasn't been scolded before? That's just how Old Bear is. Don't take it too seriously. Know your limits!"
Yuan Gang did not say anything else. He turned around and left.
The corner of Guan Fangyi's mouth twitched. She smiled bitterly. Yuan Fang was probably going to be unlucky …
Not long after, the sanctimonious Yuan Fang was called to Yuan Gang's courtyard. When he saw Yuan Gang standing straight in the courtyard with the Three Roars Saber in one hand and the shining blade under the sun, he immediately changed from being sanctimonious to bowing and bowing. He trotted to Yuan Gang and said with a smile, "Master Yuan, you were looking for me?"
Yuan Gang said expressionlessly, "I'm leaving soon. Have you finished packing?"
"Uh … well …" Yuan Fang looked awkward. He said carefully, "Master Yuan, Hong Niang said that we should stay in the Purple Golden Cave."
Yuan Gang said, "What if I ask you to leave with us?"
Yuan Fang immediately looked awkward. "Master Yuan, that's not a good idea. Hong Niang said that I will be a burden if I follow you. In fact, Hong Niang's words make sense. We are indeed burdens. After being together for so many years, we really don't want to be a burden to you. "
Yuan Gang said, "It's okay. Even though I'm no longer around, I can't just abandon you guys. "
Yuan Fang sighed. "Master Yuan, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need. Alas, although Daoye is gone, you can rest assured that the monks of the Nanshan Temple will pray for Daoye every day and wish Daoye to go to paradise as soon as possible! "
Yuan Gang turned the saber in his hand and said coldly, "Are you leaving or not?"
The saber light flashed. Yuan Fang was terrified. He took a step back and said loudly, "Leave! If Master Yuan says leave, then there's nothing more to say. We swear to follow you until death! "
However, he felt bitter in his heart. He had made a deal with Gong Lince. If he didn't stay, wouldn't he be fooling around with Gong Lince? He couldn't bear the anger of the dignified Purple Golden Cave's leader! However, in the face of this person's hot temper, he couldn't bear it. He immediately became tactful and prepared to talk to Hong Niang or inform Gong Lince in time.
Yuan Gang held the saber in his hand horizontally. "I heard that your cultivation is getting stronger and stronger. Today, I want to try my saber!"
Why did this suddenly appear? Yuan Fang was shocked. He stepped back and waved his hand. "Master Yuan, why are you doing this?"
Yuan Gang said, "Didn't you say that you were afraid of becoming a burden to us? Whether I'm a burden or not, I'll know once I try! "
Yuan Fang's eyes widened. "Master Yuan, I said leave! Master Yuan, don't come over. I've seen the power of your saber. Don't use it, you'll die! "
"Okay!" Yuan Gang stabbed the saber in his hand into the ground with a clang. He flashed out like a gust of wind. Using the momentum of running, he turned around and shot forward. His leg whistled out like a phantom.
Bang! "Ah!" Yuan Fang screamed. His whole body flew out like a meteor. He crashed into the courtyard wall and was buried in the flying dust.
