Guan Fangyi, who was next to him, sneered. She was quite dissatisfied with Niu Youdao's calmness and ability to talk about business in an instant. If he was not cold-blooded, what was he? At least as a woman, she felt that Shang Shuqing was not worthy.
She was not blind. She could see that Shang Shuqing's lips were bleeding from biting.
If it were her, she would have directly pierced the window paper to see how that guy would pretend to be ignorant.
Of course, she also knew that Shang Shuqing would not do that kind of thing. That face still made Shang Shuqing feel a little inferior and felt that he was not qualified to have improper thoughts.
She could not help to pierce the window paper because she was afraid that Shang Shuqing would not be able to bear Niu Youdao's determination. Once Niu Youdao refused in public, that kind of hurt would probably be unforgettable to Shang Shuqing. Perhaps pretending to be ignorant was the best choice.
There were some things that everyone knew, including Guan Fangyi herself. How could a person like Niu Youdao want such an ugly woman?
The reason might be difficult to accept, but this was the reality.
Shang Shuqing did not know what important matter his face was involved in, "Sister Hong did ask me, and I also thought about it carefully. I really could not think of any clues that father mentioned. He only asked me to go to the Shangqing Sect to find Mr. Dongguo, but Mr. Dongguo had already passed away."
Niu Youdao said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, King Ning and my master once plotted something big. This matter was not trivial. It was impossible for King Ning to not make any preparations at that time. He must have told you some clues, and Your Highness is the key to this matter. King Ning must have given you a special explanation."
His fingers gently tapped on the table, "Perhaps because it was a matter of great importance, King Ning could not tell you clearly until the end, but he must have given you some hints. Your Highness, think carefully about the details of the conversation between you and King Ning. You must think carefully if there are any omissions. "
Shang Shuqing nodded slightly. Under the deliberate guidance of Niu Youdao, he could not control his emotions and was successfully diverted by Niu Youdao. But at this time, it was inevitable that he could not calm down and could not concentrate on recalling the past. He could only try to think.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not think of anything. Finally, he broke the silence and shook his head, "Daoye, about the treatment of my face, father really had no other instructions other than asking me to go to the Shangqing Sect to look for Mr. Dongguo."
Niu Youdao slightly squinted, "How many times has King Ning told you about this matter? It is related to his daughter's lifelong happiness, so he must not have said it carelessly, right? "
Shang Shuqing thought for a moment, "He has not said it carelessly, but intermittently. Father has mentioned it to me in a serious and earnest manner several times, but the words are similar every time. It is always about asking me to go to the Shangqing Sect."
Niu Youdao said, "You are a girl. Don't you think it is strange to ask you to go to the Shangqing Sect? With the relationship between King Ning and the Shangqing Sect, he can summon people with just a message. Why would he ask you, a girl, to go to the Shangqing Sect? Your Highness, there must be something wrong. Or, in other words, King Ning has made preparations just in case. If he is not here, he will ask you to go to the Shangqing Sect to look for my master. I can basically be sure that this is what he wants you to remember. In other words, this is King Ning's backup plan. "
"Your Highness, think about it carefully. There must be a reason for King Ning's instructions. Did you ignore something?"
Hearing what he said, Shang Shuqing became thoughtful. He did notice something unusual. He couldn't help but gradually concentrate and think about the past.
Guan Fangyi thought about it and agreed. Yes, why didn't I hear the problem at that time? She couldn't help glancing at Niu Youdao and found that the same thing in the hands of two different people would have different results.
However, Shang Shuqing racked his brains and really couldn't think of anything that he had overlooked. He couldn't help but look up at Niu Youdao and shook his head.
"Don't worry!" Niu Youdao comforted her. He reached out and pulled the brush, ink, paper and inkstone at the end of the long table over and pushed it in front of Shang Shuqing. "Your Highness, you said that the Prince has said the same thing to you several times. Why don't you write down what the Prince told you every time and put it into words? Maybe it will be more useful than your empty imagination. Maybe it will help you remember something."
Shang Shuqing did as he was told. He picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. He deliberated and put the brush down. Every word was graceful and beautiful.
Niu Youdao reminded from the other side, "Think slowly, write slowly, don't be in a rush. What person, what matter, or what object Ning Wang mentioned, don't forget anything that you can think of. Write down everything that you can think of. Treat it as if you are thinking of a story. Write down everything that you can think of."
Shang Shuqing nodded as he wrote. He wrote slowly and tried his best to remember it. After writing it down, it was really helpful. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does the sword count?"
"Whatever you can remember. As long as it is mentioned in King Ning's instructions, write it down." Niu Youdao nodded. He suddenly paused and asked, "What sword?"
Shang Shuqing said, "Mr Dongguo's sword. My father gave it to me and asked me to take it to the Shangqing Sect."
Niu Youdao stood up slowly. "Is it the sword you gave me when we first met?"
Shang Shuqing nodded. "Yes, Mr Dongguo gave the sword to my father …"
She didn't finish her words. Pa! Niu Youdao raised his hand and slapped his forehead. He was not sure if he blamed Shang Shuqing. "Your Highness, this is such an important thing. Why didn't you mention it before?"
Shang Shuqing was instantly asked a little awkwardly and didn't know how to explain. Back then, when Guan Fangyi asked her, she only asked if there was any way to treat her face. Shang Shuqing only knew to look for Dongguo Haoran, and indeed didn't think of using a sword.
The reason was that Guan Fangyi and she didn't know what was involved. One asked about the treatment of her face and the other answered. The direction of the question and the direction of the answer were not the same. Therefore, both of them couldn't be blamed.
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Niu Youdao felt that she had done something wrong. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "Forget it. I can't blame you for this. It's my fault. I saw it with my own eyes, but I didn't remember it."
She turned and asked Guan Fangyi, "Where's the sword?"
Guan Fangyi already understood and knew that he was talking about Niu Youdao's sword. She replied, "It's still in my room."
Niu Youdao, "Bring it over immediately."
The matter seemed to be very important. Guan Fangyi did not say anything more and quickly turned to leave.
Niu Youdao sat down and smiled at the uneasy Shang Shuqing, "It's nothing. Your Highness, please have some tea."
Shang Shuqing acknowledged and slowly sat down. After taking a sip of tea, he tried to ask again, "Daoye, dare to ask what big matter did Royal Father plot that is related to Qing-er's face?"
She did not know what kind of big matter she had delayed and her heart was really uneasy.
Niu Youdao stared at her face for a while longer. "Your Highness, the matter is indeed very important. Before the result is confirmed, it is not appropriate to tell you. But I can assure you that when the result is confirmed, I will not hide it from you. Because this matter needs to be faced by you personally. Other than you, no one else can solve it. "
"If the matter is not wrong, your Royal Father should have left something for you. In other words, your Royal Father left a way to resolve the bad spots on your face. "
A way to resolve it? Shang Shuqing subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.
Niu Youdao nodded his head and continued, "Your Highness, it is still the same sentence. The matter is very important. You cannot tell anyone about the conversation that I had with you today, not even your Prince and the rest. Otherwise the Prince and the rest do not know the severity of the matter. Once it is leaked out, not only your life will not be guaranteed, the entire Prince's residence will not be spared. One fear that the entire Southern State will flow like a river and the powers of the Southern State will suffer a bloodbath. Not by others but by the Six Saints. I am not trying to scare you. Do you understand? "
Finishing, he looked back at Silver who was looking around in boredom. He felt that this foodie would not be able to understand such a complicated conversation.
Shang Shuqing found it hard to believe. He did not know what his father had plotted to actually provoke such a big trouble and to actually provoke the Six Saints to take action.
She nodded her head slightly and tried to ask, "Daoye, does my older brother know that you are still alive?"
Niu Youdao smiled, "Of course he knows. Otherwise how would your older brother dare to take in the people of Thatched Cottage Courtyard that were expelled by Zijin Cave. Meng Shuai and Mister Lan both know. Only the three of them. That's right, if Your Highness is able to do it, I suggest that Your Highness do not let the Prince and the rest feel awkward. Do not let the Prince and the rest know that you also know. Act as if you do not know that I am still alive. Once the news that I am still alive is leaked, it will definitely provoke the Sage realm to start a massacre in the Southern State. "
Shang Shuqing nodded his head again, "Qing-er understands."
At this time, Guan Fangyi who had left quickly came back with Niu Youdao's original sword and handed it over.
After Niu Youdao received the sword, he stood up and walked out of the long table. He held the sword and scrutinized it carefully. He didn't miss a single detail from the beginning to the end. This treasured sword had been with him for so many years, but he had never looked at it so carefully before.
Seeing that Silver was still tugging on Niu Youdao's clothes, Shang Shuqing also got up and pulled Silver to his side so that she would not delay Daoye's work.
The three people at the side were paying attention to Niu Youdao's every move. Silver was interested in the way Niu Youdao was swinging the sword around.
From the appearance of the sword, there was nothing special. Shua! Niu Youdao suddenly unsheathed the sword and looked at the bright sword body. His eyes suddenly fixed on the four words on the sword body.
The four words' Jade Blood Loyal Heart ', which he had never thought much about before, suddenly felt particularly dazzling. He narrowed his eyes and then revealed a slight smile, "It seems that it is really possible that it is this sword. There may be something special about it."
Guan Fangyi was puzzled, "After you went to the Sage realm, this sword was in my hands. I was idle and bored so I took it out many times to look at it. I did not see anything special about it. What is the problem?"
Niu Youdao said, "It has been in my hands for so many years and I have used it to fight with others many times. I did not find any problem with it in a head-on fight. If it was not for Princess' reminder today, I am afraid that I would never have thought deeply about the four words' Jade Blood Loyal Heart '. "
Guan Fangyi was at a loss. She moved her face closer and stared at the four words over and over again. She could not see anything special about it and could not help but look suspicious.
Shang Shuqing thoughtfully asked, "Daoye, do you mean that the truth of this sword can only be seen in the fire?"
Niu Youdao looked at it and smiled, "Princess is intelligent and hit the nail on the head."
Shang Shuqing was slightly shy, "Qing-er just guessed randomly."
Niu Youdao said to Guan Fangyi, "You go and prepare. We will know the truth after trying it."
"Prepare for what?" Guan Fangyi was a little anxious. Even Shang Shuqing understood it but she still did not understand what it meant. She had a feeling that her IQ was crushed, "Why are you two talking in riddles? Tell me clearly, what is going on?"
Seeing Niu Youdao's playful teasing, she immediately stared at Shang Shuqing.
Shang Shuqing was embarrassed and tried to explain, "The four words' Jade Blood Loyal Heart 'on this sword has a pun. Under normal circumstances, it means that this sword is sincere and it can deceive people so that they will not think too much about this sword. If there is another mystery on the sword, the two words' Jade Blood Loyal Heart 'is enough to imply that there is a secret hidden in the sword. Then these four words are likely to be the secret key to open the mystery. Sister Hong, in short, under what circumstances can this sword be in the red state of the Jade Blood Loyal Heart? "
"When the sword is forged by fire, the sword will be red …" Guan Fangyi blurted out and suddenly understood.
