!!
Seeing that he didn't want it anymore, Niu Youdao touched the thing in his sleeve and was satisfied.
At this moment, there was a knock on the stone door. Wen Hua invoked his arts and shouted, "Come in!"
Rumble! The stone door opened, and a disciple entered with cupped hands. "Mister Dan and his wife are here to pay their respects."
As soon as he said this, Wen Hua quickly paid attention to Niu Youdao's reaction. He saw a glint in Niu Youdao's eyes as if he was moved.
"What are they doing here instead of staying put?" Wen Hua asked with a slight frown.
The disciple looked at the West Sea Hall and said, "It seems like they know that the Wan Shou Sect Leader is here, so they wanted to pay a visit."
"Mister Dan?" Xi Haitang pondered for a moment, then asked Wen Hua, "Could it be Dan Hailong and his wife, the son-in-law of Jin Jue, the Grand Marshal of Korea?"
Wen Hua nodded and said to the two guests with a smile, "They don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Don't bother with them."
Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao suddenly interrupted, "Since she is Jin Jue's daughter and son-in-law, there's no harm in recognizing her."
Hearing this, Xihaitang didn't care. "I heard that Jin Jue's son-in-law is quite good-looking. Let's go greet him."
Seeing that the two wanted to meet, Wen Hua gave the disciple a look. The disciple immediately asked Xi Hai Tang and Niu Youdao to leave for a while.
The three of them went out, while Wen Hua was looking for a place to hide something.
In the hollow corridor of the cave, the two strolled slowly. They could see the beautiful scenery outside the cliff. Xi Haitang, who was walking with his hands behind his back, noticed that Niu Youdao seemed to be silent. He asked, "Do you know of this Dan Hailong?"
Niu Youdao: "I don't know. Didn't you just say Jin Jue's son-in-law?"
Xihaitang: "So he's a rogue cultivator, and he seems to be married. I don't know why Jin Jue's daughter fell in love with him. I heard that he's good-looking. At that time, Jin Jue was just a general in South Korea, but it was a rare opportunity for a rogue cultivator. Even if Jin Jue's daughter was a commoner, Dan Hailong seemed to have divorced his wife and married Jin Jue's only daughter. "
Niu Youdao: "Who is Dan Hailong's ex-wife?"
West Sea Hall: "He seems to be a rogue cultivator, a nobody, not worth mentioning. After Kim Jue was promoted to the Grand Marshal of South Korea, Dan Hailong's status naturally rose along with him. The couple had a daughter who was quite talented in cultivation. In addition, the Tianxing Sect was in the territory of Korea. Under Jin Jue's personal request, their daughter became Wen Hua's last disciple! That little girl is the one we saw when we first arrived. She's the one who bowed to us at the entrance. She's a lively and pretty girl. "
"That Dan Hailong has been longing to join a large sect like the Sky Way Sect. I heard that he used his status as Jin Jue to join, but none of the sects were willing to accept him. None of the proper large sects were willing to accept him. However, his daughter won Wen Hua's favor. Later on, for some reason, Wen Hua nodded, and Dan Hailong began to cultivate in the Heaven Path Sect. The two of them basically lived in the Heaven Path Sect. "
"Here …" West Sea Hall raised his chin and gestured, "That's the little girl. The two beside her should be the couple, right?"
Niu Youdao looked over and saw that on the balcony of the stairs that extended from the cliff, the little girl that he saw on the way here was behaving adorably in front of a couple. He didn't know what she was talking about, but he saw that the couple seemed to be full of smiles.
The little girl's name was Shan Xian 'er, the woman's name was Jin Feng, and the man was Dan Hailong.
Niu Youdao stopped in his tracks and stared at the family of three.
The woman's appearance was average, but she was still good-looking. There was nothing special about her, but she had an air of nobility. The man's appearance was rather dignified. He had three strands of ink-black beard, a handsome face, and a tall figure. His robe was loose, and it seemed as if he was about to ride the wind when the mountain breeze blew. He was cultured and refined, and he had the demeanor of an immortal.
A disciple came out to pass the message. Shan Xian 'er, who was acting coquettishly in front of her parents, immediately asked them to follow her.
The family of three went up the stairs and entered the main hall of the cave. Wen Hua was already sitting on the chair.
"Master!" Shan Xian 'er happily ran to her master and bowed.
After receiving the greetings from the family of three, Wen Hua expressionlessly nodded and asked, "What are you and your wife doing here?"
Dan Hailong cupped his hands and said, "We heard that the leader of the Wan Shou Sect has come personally, so we want to pay our respects to him."
Wen Hua said, "If you want to see him, I won't stop you. But I have to remind you, don't talk nonsense. There are some people you can't afford to offend. Try to be humble."
Dan Hailong didn't know why he said that, but he smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to be rude in front of the leader of the Wan Shou Sect."
Wen Hua turned around and asked, "Where are the guests?"
The disciple next to him replied, "They are sightseeing on the long corridor of the cliff."
Wen Hua looked at Shan Xian 'er and said, "Bring your parents there."
"Yes!" Shan Xian 'er cupped her hands and said to her parents, "Dad, Mom, come with me."
The couple cupped their hands and thanked Wen Hua, then followed their daughter.
Wen Hua had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at his disciple skipping away. He muttered to himself, "I hope I'm just overthinking …"
There were some things that others didn't know, but how could he not know? Of course, he had to investigate his disciple's family background. It was easy to investigate his mother's powerful background, but it took more effort to investigate Dan Hailong's background.
Dan Hailong was a lone cultivator in his early years. He wandered in the cultivation world for a long time and didn't follow any rules. It was not easy to investigate his background. After some effort, Wen Hua found out about Dan Hailong's ex-wife. She was a lone cultivator called Black Peony!
She was just a lone cultivator, so Wen Hua didn't pay much attention to her.
In the end, he found out that Black Peony was with Niu Youdao. Her relationship with Niu Youdao was unclear, and he didn't know if they were in a romantic relationship. In short, she was Niu Youdao's confidant.
When Black Peony first followed Niu Youdao, Niu Youdao hadn't made much of a name and wasn't in Wen Hua's eyes.
The only time he paid more attention to Niu Youdao was because of Qi Jing's Matchmaker.
By the time Niu Youdao had made a name for himself, Black Peony was long dead. Wen Hua didn't pay much attention to her and just treated it as a piece of news.
Even when Niu Youdao had made a name for himself, Wen Hua didn't think much of it. However, he didn't expect that Niu Youdao would come knocking on his door and have such a relationship with him.
Even if Niu Youdao came looking for him, he had forgotten about Dan Hailong's ex-wife. It was because Dan Hailong took the initiative to meet him that he suddenly remembered.
Back then, he was just a subordinate. Wen Hua felt that Niu Youdao wouldn't have anything to do with it. However, when he saw Niu Youdao's reaction, he was touched.
He didn't know what Niu Youdao's reaction was, but it made him feel that something was wrong.
Of course, he didn't have anything to worry about if Dan Hailong went to meet him. He believed that Niu Youdao wasn't that stupid. Niu Youdao didn't dare to expose his current situation and didn't dare to mess around here.
However, if Niu Youdao really wanted to do something to Dan Hailong, he was sure that Dan Hailong would be in big trouble. He might not even be able to protect Jin Jue.
Not to mention Niu Youdao's past actions, just based on the fact that he could get the Immeasurable Fruit from the Sage Land and do what others couldn't, one could imagine how capable he was.
Wen Hua didn't really care about Dan Hailong's life or death. He only cared about his last disciple.
When Jin Jue came to the Tianxing Sect and brought his little granddaughter to him, he found that the little girl had an excellent foundation for cultivation and fell in love with her at first sight. That was why he made an exception and accepted her as his last disciple …
"Dan Hailong and Jin Feng greet the West Sea Sect Master."
On the cliff corridor, Dan Hailong and his wife bowed together to greet West Sea Sect Master respectfully. Dan Xian 'er, who had already met West Sea Sect Master, also cupped her hands in greeting.
If it was an ordinary person, they wouldn't even be qualified to meet West Sea Sect Master.
Hearing their names, Niu Youdao smiled slightly. A dragon and a phoenix, they were really a pair.
West Sea Sect Master raised his hand and gestured, "No need to be so polite. You and your wife have really good names!"
The couple smiled politely. Dan Hailong had already looked at Niu Youdao and found that this person was definitely not an ordinary person since he could walk side by side with West Sea Sect Master. It was obvious that he had disguised himself. Dan Hailong immediately cupped his hands and said, "May I know how to address you, sir?"
Niu Youdao smiled lightly and said, "Wu!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to say his full name, the couple didn't dare to force him. They could only cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, Mister Wu."
Niu Youdao only nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. After that, he watched the couple chat with West Sea Sect Master. It was mainly Dan Hailong who was more talkative.
This was Black Peony's ex-husband. Even Niu Youdao himself was surprised that he would meet him in this way.
He watched quietly from the side. There was one thing he had to admit, this Dan Hailong was indeed good-looking. In terms of appearance, he was more than enough to match Black Peony.
He didn't know what kind of life Black Peony had. She had spent her short life wandering. The man who had humiliated and toyed with her had a high position in the cultivation world, and the husband who had abandoned her was now living in splendor and wealth.
It wasn't easy for her to follow him, and it just so happened that he was just building his foundation. She often risked her life with him, and in the end, she died protecting him. By the time he had built his foundation and held considerable power, to put it nicely, he could be high and mighty. But Black Peony didn't have the chance to see this, let alone enjoy it.
He could never forget that scene on the blue sea. She gradually stopped moving in his arms. He couldn't forget the feeling of the sea breeze blowing her hair on his face.
That woman didn't tell him the names of the two men until she died. Maybe she didn't want to mention them, or maybe she didn't want to cause trouble for him. Whether it was the elder of the Wan Shou Clan, Chao Jing, or the son-in-law of Han's Grand Master, Jin Jue, she couldn't afford to offend them. In her eyes, Niu Youdao couldn't afford to offend them either.
"May I ask who you are, Mister Wu?" Perhaps Dan Hailong realized that he had neglected Niu Youdao, so he suddenly asked.
Niu Youdao's thoughts were pulled back, and he said calmly, "It's better if I don't say."
"Uh …" Dan Hailong was a little embarrassed, but he forced a smile on his face.
Niu Youdao asked, "Did Mister Dan live in the Heaven Path Sect?"
Dan Hailong said, "The Heaven Path Sect is a beautiful place. I admire it very much, so I live in seclusion."
Niu Youdao said, "Then Mister Dan must be more familiar with the Heaven Path Sect. Can you show me around?"
Dan Xian 'er suddenly raised her hand and said, "Mister Wu, I'm more familiar with it. I'll be your guide."
