"Oh, flesh and blood can't help it. I'll give it a try." Niu Youdao nodded in agreement. He looked around and took advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the canyon to ask, "I am truly overwhelmed by Shopkeeper's generosity. Why is this so?"
Chu Anlou smiled, "The chief steward said to treat you well. If there's anything, we can talk about it after you've rested."
"Chief steward?" Niu Youdao asked suspiciously, "Why?"
Chu Anlou said, "I don't know the details. But if the chief steward says to treat you well, then he will. He doesn't mean any harm!"
Niu Youdao didn't say anything.
Did he really not know what was going on? No one knew better than him what was going on.
The purpose of painting the black peony in Star picking City was not Sha Huanli. The real purpose of painting Sha Huanli was also not Sha Huanli's real purpose. The real purpose was the Ice and Snow Pavilion!
Ever since he learned that Sha Huanli and the Pavilion Master Xue Luo 'er were good friends, he had been thinking about it!
The reason was simple. When a woman obtained something beautiful, how could she not share it with her friends?
He came here not only for the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit, but also because he was powerless against the power of the Yan Imperial Court. After killing Song Long, he knew he was in big trouble.
However, he had to kill Song Long, even if he knew it would cause big trouble. Because there were some things that he couldn't back down on. No matter how he backed down, he couldn't get the other party to compromise. If he didn't even have the determination and courage to cut off all means of retreat, he wouldn't be Daoye!
Once he did something, he had to face the consequences. Even if he knew it was the Yan Imperial Court, even if he knew it was dangerous on the way, he still insisted on coming. He came here to cut off the big trouble, and also to give the Yan Imperial Court a way out!
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to shock and awe those who were faintly discernible!
It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he understood it too well. That was why Chu Anlou was his tour guide.
Slowly, he controlled the progress of the situation!
Wu Kong, the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Jade Sect, was standing at the entrance of the shop. He was also paying attention to Chu Anlou and his entourage.
A disciple who was scouting for information came back in a hurry. He approached Chu Anlou and reported in a low voice, "Martial Uncle, can you guess who is with Chu Anlou?"
Wu Kong gave him a sideways glance. "Why are you keeping us in suspense? I've never seen him before, how would I know who he is? "
The disciple said, "Martial Uncle, it's the Niu Youdao that our sect sent us a message to look for!"
"Ah!" Wu Kong was taken aback and asked, "Are you sure?"
The disciple said, "I've heard that the four people at the back are called Hei Peony, Lei Zongkang, Duan Hu, and Wu Sanliang. Aren't they the four people who might be accompanying the sect? The characteristics of the young man in front also match the description in the sect's information. Other than Niu Youdao, who else could he be?"
The people from the Heavenly Jade Sect had never seen Niu Youdao before. Shang Chaozong had no idea where to start when he asked for help from the Heavenly Jade Sect. Naturally, he had to report some of the target's characteristics. Yuan Fang didn't dare to hide anything, so he naturally revealed the names of the people accompanying him.
The people from the Heavenly Jade Sect who knew Niu Youdao were still in Southern Yan Prefecture. They couldn't make it in time even if they wanted to.
Moreover, after the discussion between the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect, they didn't plan to help Niu Youdao with all their might. They didn't even send anyone to help. To them, Niu Youdao was insignificant. A mere Niu Youdao wasn't worth the Heavenly Jade Sect mobilizing so many people.
Was obtaining the Crimson Sun Vermillion Fruit that important to the Heavenly Jade Sect? The life and death of Hai Ruyue and her son weren't important to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect. The important issue was that the Heavenly Jade Sect had already reached an agreement with the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor in secret.
To the Heavenly Jade Sect, it didn't matter who the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor was in charge of the Gold Province. As long as Shang Chaozong, who was able to cultivate the 'heroic Wu Lie Graud', was in their hands, everything was fine.
The problem that Hai Ruyue and Shang Chaozong were worried about was a problem that their subordinates were worried about. But to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect, it didn't matter.
The Heavenly Jade Sect didn't want Shang Chaozong and Hai Ruyue to be tied too tightly together. That would weaken their control over Shang Chaozong.
Because of this, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect weren't too happy when Niu Youdao came to ask for the Crimson Sun Vermillion Fruit without permission. Was it fun to provoke the Ice and Snow Pavilion? No one would be able to clean up the mess if they stirred up trouble. Furthermore, Niu Youdao was a criminal who killed the Yan Emissary. The Heavenly Jade Sect didn't want to get involved at all, so why would they send reinforcements?
Of course, they still had to give face to Shang Chaozong, so they also sent a message over. But it was only to inform Niu Youdao, nothing more.
"…" Wu Kong stroked his beard and muttered to himself, 'What's going on? This matter has far exceeded the sect's instructions! '
Wu Kong looked at Niu Youdao, who had already walked far away. He couldn't use his status as a disciple of the Heavenly Jade Sect to openly interact with Niu Youdao. He didn't understand the situation, and with Chu Anlou around, it wasn't convenient for him to go forward and greet him.
After thinking it over, he quickly turned around and went back inside, preparing to write an urgent report!
In a room deep within the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor's shop, a woman was meditating cross-legged on a stone couch. It was the shopkeeper, Gao Mulan.
There was a knock on the door. Gao Mulan slowly stopped cultivating and opened her eyes. She called out, "Come in!"
A disciple pushed the door open and entered. He cupped his fists in front of the couch and reported, "Martial Aunt, Niu Youdao has appeared!"
Gao Mulan frowned, "Get him to see me immediately!"
To Shang Chaozong, the situation was urgent at that time. To be safe, he also sent a message to Hai Ruyue, asking her to ask the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor for help.
However, the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor was also quite disgusted with this matter. In fact, the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor had two different opinions about Hai Ruyue being in charge of the Gold Province. Some wanted to protect her, while some wanted to replace her. Now, a person who dared to kill Envoy Yan in the Gold Province had actually come here to provoke the Ice and Snow Pavilion. If trouble were to arise, the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. Especially when they found out that Hai Ruyue did this behind the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Palace's back. This made the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Palace very uncomfortable. If Hai Ruyue did not have the full support of Elder Li Wuhua, they would have taught her a lesson and embarrassed her!
The message that Gao Mulan received from the sect was that once they found Niu Youdao, they were to immediately stop him from acting recklessly. If necessary, they could directly kill him!
A mere Niu Youdao was also not important to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor.
Under such circumstances, how could the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor send someone to help Niu Youdao!
"This …" The disciple was a little embarrassed, "The shopkeeper of the Rainbow Inn, Chu Anlou, is playing with him. I'm afraid it's not very convenient to call him over!"
He still didn't know what the sect's attitude towards Niu Youdao was.
Gao Mulan was stunned, "What did you say? Chu Anlou is playing with him? Where is he playing? "
The disciple said, "He is playing in circles in the Ice and Snow Pavilion Canyon outside. It seems that Chu Anlou is quite polite to him."
Gao Mulan quickly got off the couch and went outside the shop. She called the disciple over to guide her. The disciple pointed to a figure in the distance.
Seeing that the target had turned to the upper floor, Gao Mulan immediately leaped up and waited by the roadside.
Finally, when Niu Youdao and the others arrived and passed by, they saw Chu Anlou pointing at a shop that was currently carving out decorations and said, "This is a new shop. The cultivation world has seen the rise and fall of sects, and many of the shops here have changed their owners over and over again …"
The disciple approached Gao Mulan and said in a low voice, "The four people behind them have been confirmed. They are Hei Peony, Duan Hu, Wu San Liang, and Lei Zongkang. The young man beside Chu Anlou also fits the criteria. He must be Niu Youdao!"
Hei Peony and the other three were just four rogue cultivators to many people in the past. Now, they had officially entered the sights of many people and became the focus of many people.
Gao Mulan was speechless. How was Chu Anlou being polite to Niu Youdao? He was clearly acting as a tour guide!
Niu Youdao was the one who killed Ambassador Yan! Niu Youdao was involved in such a matter, yet Chu Anlou was openly accompanying Niu Youdao. What was Chu Anlou trying to do? What was the meaning of the Ice and Snow Pavilion? Why did it feel like they were deliberately letting out the news that Niu Youdao was under their protection!
The situation seemed to have changed. Gao Mulan did not dare to make the decision on her own. She quickly leaped down and returned to the shop. She urgently drafted a message to the sect …
Inside the spotless room, the floor was paved with pure white jade. There was a bathroom with a hot spring, a study with ink and paper, and an exquisite and elegant living room with calligraphy and paintings on the wall. All kinds of furnishings were exquisite, and all the details were meticulously made.
And because the room was on top of the towering dome above the inn, its position was higher than the entire canyon. When one opened the window, one could see the situation inside the Ice and Snow Pavilion Canyon, as well as a thousand snowy mountains in the distance.
Pei Niangzi, who had looked around the room, sighed inwardly. It was not that she had never stayed in the Rainbow Inn before, but she did not know that the inn had such a good room. No wonder it was said that it was only used to entertain distinguished guests. It seemed that this time, she really had the chance to see it because of Xuanyuan Dao.
After bathing and changing, the sissy came out. Pei Niangzi looked back and was stunned. He had actually changed back into women's clothes?
"Gongzi, you're not going to dress up as a man?" Pei Niangzi asked curiously.
The sissy in a pink dress walked to the dressing table and sat down. She pouted at the mirror and said, "That innkeeper could tell that I'm a woman at a glance. Boring, I'm not going to dress up anymore. Hurry up and help me comb my hair!"
Pei Niangzi was speechless. You only found out today? She walked to the dressing table and took a comb to comb her hair. "Gongzi is still beautiful in women's clothes."
The sissy said, "It's weird to call gongzi. Don't call me that."
"Yes, young miss." Pei Niangzi shook her head helplessly.
The sissy pointed to the left and right. "Look, this is what you call an inn. What kind of lousy place did we stay in on the way here? Although this place is small, it looks even more elegant than the palace."
Pei Niangzi said, "I've already said that this is used to entertain distinguished guests. Not just anyone can stay here."
After dressing up, the sissy stood up and turned around, her posture graceful. Her dress fluttered in the wind before falling down again. She pulled at her dress and asked, "How is it? Do I look good?"
Pei Niangzi put down the comb and said, "Yes, you look good. Young miss is the most beautiful."
The sissy immediately looked satisfied. "Come, let's go look for that Xuanyuan Dao to play." She turned around and left.
"Look for him to play?" Pei Niangzi thought that she had misheard. She found it hard to believe. Had this girl changed? Pei Niangzi pulled her back. "Young miss, you've already lost a bet. It's a million gold coins! It'll be hard to report back. "
