They were making sarcastic remarks here.
The crying in the corner was horrifying.
Yuan Fang grinned. 'I've already returned the money and agreed to the deal. Why are you still crying like this? It didn't look like she was crying tears of joy, nor did it look like she was being wronged. If she were crying tears of joy or being wronged, why would she cry so painfully? '
Yuan Fang was a little confused. He moved closer to Niu Youdao. "Daoye, is this woman sick?"
"Don't mind her. The food is getting cold. Hurry up and eat." Niu Youdao gestured for him not to be a busybody.
Yuan Fang looked to his left and right before sitting down. The two of them ate and drank, one chopstick at a time.
To Yuan Fang, the food and wine were not bad. It was just that there was someone crying beside him. It was really weird. This was the first time he heard someone crying while eating. Usually, people ate while listening to songs, right?
The two of them ignored Black Peony and didn't say anything to comfort her. They just left her to hide in the corner and cry.
This cry lasted for a while. The bitterness and negative emotions that had been suppressed for many years were vented. The crying gradually weakened and gradually disappeared.
Black Peony, who was sitting in the corner and sobbing from time to time, wiped her tears and finally stood up. She stared at the two eating and drinking, feeling angry and annoyed. She was also secretly blaming herself. Why did she cry in front of them? But just now, for some reason, she couldn't control herself.
After calming down, Black Peony walked over.
The two of them tilted their heads to look. Yuan Fang grinned. He realized that Daoye was right. Women were indeed made of water. A large patch of her clothes was actually wet from crying.
Black Peony was embarrassed. But in the blink of an eye, she acted as if nothing had happened. She sat at the table confidently, slapped the receipt in her hand on the table, and pushed it in front of Niu Youdao. "My ability is limited. I can't give you too much. Just take it as a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little."
Niu Youdao had a teasing expression and a strange look in his eyes. "Do you think I dare to accept it?"
Black Peony understood what he meant. At first, she was the one who took the initiative to give it to him. Later, when she failed, she immediately threatened to take it back. Now, she took the initiative to give it to him. Anyway, it was quite awkward. She said awkwardly, "This time, I mean it."
Niu Youdao chuckled and was too lazy to refuse. He raised his chin at Yuan Fang.
So, Black Peony put the receipt in front of Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang didn't stand on ceremony. He was more interested in money, so he happily accepted it. He was overjoyed when he realized that after going around in circles, the money had returned to his pocket.
The Black Peony took the initiative to pour wine for Niu Youdao. After a round of torment, she was tortured to the point of hovering between life and death. At this moment, she actually discovered that her entire body was relaxed, without joy or worry. She didn't even know how many years it had been since she had been this relaxed. She knew that it wasn't just because the other party had promised to help her. Even if the other party said he wouldn't help her now, she felt that she wouldn't be angry and would leave calmly. She didn't know how to describe that feeling.
In short, she suddenly felt at ease, incomparably at ease. Although the man in front of her had bullied her just now, she felt an inexplicable sense of security from him. She still couldn't tell where this feeling came from. She just felt that this man was very bad, but he was really bad, so bad that she felt at ease. He had a personality charm that made her feel at ease.
For so many years, the uneasiness that had been entangled in his heart like a shadow had suddenly vanished.
Niu Youdao leaned back in his chair and asked, "There should be quite a number of people here who want to establish their own sects. Why don't you all pool your money together to establish a common sect?"
Black Peony sighed softly. "I've thought of this before, but if there are too many people, there will be great hidden dangers. After the sect is established, who will be the sect master? Who had the final say? If we aren't like-minded, it won't be long before there will be internal strife. If something happens outside, the entire sect will have to bear the responsibility together. It's not like this hasn't happened before. Moreover, it has happened repeatedly. Between the factions, no one trusts each other. Not long after the conflict of interests, there will be trouble. The internal strife for power will be unscrupulous and they will kill each other. There is no way for them to compete with the other sects and they will be easily disintegrated by the other sects. "
Niu Youdao made an 'oh' sound, indicating that he understood.
Black Peony hesitated and asked, "Daoye, I wonder which sect you're looking for to be our referral and guarantor? When will it be? We can make preparations in advance … My brothers are still waiting for me outside. I will be able to give them an answer. "
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Is it important which sect to look for a referral and guarantor?"
"…" Black Peony was stunned. Was it not important?
Niu Youdao looked at her and said, "Have a long-term vision. Don't always stare at one place and one thing."
"…" Black Peony was puzzled. She still didn't understand.
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Follow me in the future. I will make arrangements for everything that needs to be arranged."
When he saw her hesitation, he added, "Is there a problem?"
Black Peony hesitated for a moment. Then, she seemed to have made up her mind and nodded heavily. "Alright!"
Niu Youdao picked up his wine cup again and took a sip. "How many brothers do you have outside? Was it a man or a woman? "
Black Peony said, "Three. All men."
Niu Youdao asked, "Are they all reliable?"
Black Peony said, "Daoye can rest assured about this. They are absolutely reliable. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been together for so many years."
Niu Youdao said, "It's useless for you to tell me this. I only have one question for you. Can you control them?"
Black Peony hesitated and said, "There's nothing to control. But my words are still effective."
Niu Youdao said, "When it's just one person, I can communicate and guide them one by one. For example, with you just now, if there are too many people, I don't have the energy to deal with them one by one. When there are too many people, I have to follow the rules! Listen, those who are unreliable and make you suspicious, immediately kick them out. This is for your own good and for their own good. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite if something happens in the future. When the time comes, they won't be able to take it, and you'll be in a difficult position. A short pain is better than a protracted one. Black Peony, I'm not joking! "
Black Peony said, "Daoye, they really are all reliable people. There won't be any problems. Otherwise, as a woman, I wouldn't have been able to be together with them for so many years. I'm also someone who can't tolerate sand in my eyes."
Niu Youdao said, "Alright then. Since you say that, I believe you! But you have to be responsible for what you say. I don't want to hear any sarcastic words later. You have to manage them properly. "
Black Peony discovered that this person was very methodical and became even more confident. She nodded and said, "Understood."
"Give her four gold notes. Four thousand." Niu Youdao pointed at Yuan Fang and gestured for Black Peony.
Black Peony and Yuan Fang froze at the same time. Yuan Fang was a little unwilling, but he still did as he was told. Four gold notes with a face value of one thousand were pushed in front of Black Peony.
Black Peony was puzzled. "Daoye, what is this?"
"One for each person. Don't stand outside one by one. It's too shabby. Let them all stay here." Niu Youdao waved his hand and told her to do it immediately.
To him, if he wanted to win people's hearts, he couldn't just rely on words. He had to display his strength as well. Wealth was also a part of his strength. When it was time to make a move, he had to make a move.
Black Peony shook her head. "Daoye, there's no need. Although we don't have much money, we can still afford to stay for a few days."
Niu Youdao said in an unquestionable tone, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If I ask you to do it, just do it."
Black Peony had no choice but to take the four gold notes and stand up. "Okay, I'll arrange for them to stay here." She then turned around and left with quick steps.
When she opened the door, she naturally thought of the previous situation. When she thought of how she had almost agreed to the other party's request, she secretly felt a little flustered. She didn't want to always feel guilty about this in the future, so she suddenly turned around and teased, "Daoye, if you really want me to accompany you for a night, I'll throw caution to the wind today. I'll come find you later, okay?"
Niu Youdao rolled his eyes. "I like the white ones. I'm not interested in the black ones. Scram!"
Black Peony snickered, opened the door, and left.
As soon as she left, Yuan Fang began to mutter to himself about the accounts. "You took one thousand eight hundred, gave out four thousand, and lost two thousand and two hundred. Daoye, what's the use of having a woman like this? It's not like you're going to sleep with her. "It was obvious that he was still distressed about losing money.
Niu Youdao said, "A group of loose cultivators. A woman can control a group of men. This woman has some ability. If she wasn't a woman, I wouldn't be bothered to deal with her. Some things are more convenient for women than men. I need a woman by my side to do things, and this woman can do it! "
Black Peony's footsteps were light as she left the door. Her entire body was relaxed and relaxed. She felt as if every pore on her body was breathing freely and easily. She was truly happy, and she couldn't help but happily spread her arms like a bird taking flight.
As soon as she left the inn, her companions, who had been lying in wait, immediately surrounded her.
Someone noticed something was off. "Boss, did you cry?"
Black Peony chuckled. "I was happy."
They immediately looked at each other in pleasant surprise. They could all hear the meaning behind her words. The matter had probably been settled.
Black Peony waved her hand and led them to a remote area. She sternly said, "For the time being, we won't consider establishing a sect."
"Ah!" They were shocked. One of them asked, "Boss, what do you mean?"
Black Peony said, "I said it very clearly. We won't consider establishing a sect. I'm going to go with him. If you're willing, then come with us. If you're not, I won't force you. If you're willing, take out all your belongings and give them to those who aren't. We'll part on good terms. No one will force the other."
Someone immediately asked, "Boss, is this person's background very great?" The meaning behind his words was very clear. If it wasn't so, why would you agree to go with him?
Black Peony shook her head. "I don't know what his background is. You won't believe me if I tell you. Right now, I don't even know what his identity is." When she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh. She wondered if she had gone mad. She had actually fooled him with a few words, and she had actually foolishly agreed to follow him. Was she still that Black Peony?
But she just felt that she was foolishly happy this time. She had never been so happy before. Even if she was cheated this time, she had brought it upon herself. She was also willing to accept the consequences.
"This … this …"
They realized that she had gone mad today. Her series of actions today were all filled with madness. She had extorted money from them, taken the initiative to help pay for half a year's room, and even helped prepare the best food and wine. Now, she had even given up on the things that they had persevered for so many years. She didn't even know who the other person was before deciding to follow him.
Someone probed, "I say, Boss, you can't have taken a fancy to him, can you?"
