"What do you mean?" Niu Youdao, who was holding the brush, was slightly surprised, "Didn't Shopkeeper Gao say that you are hoping for the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit to cure the governor? Isn't this what Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion wants? "
Gao Mulan nodded, "Of course Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion wants the governor to recover soon, but Brother Niu, what are you doing?"
Niu Youdao, "Since you are hoping for the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit, why don't you write down your sincerity?"
Gao Mulan's face twitched as she stared at the brush in his hand, not intending to take it. She slowly stood up, "Just keep your sincerity in your heart, why write it down?"
Niu Youdao shook his head, "Shopkeeper Gao might not know, but what I heard is slightly different from what you said. I heard that Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion is afraid that asking for the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit will bring trouble to them, so they sent Shopkeeper Gao to kill me!"
Gao Mulan's heart skipped a beat, who leaked the secret?
If it was before, she could say anything to Niu Youdao, but now, his relationship with Ice Pavilion was unknown, which made her fearful.
She quickly waved her hand and said solemnly, "There is no such thing, who started this rumor?"
Niu Youdao, "Since it is a rumor, why would Shopkeeper Gao leave behind a piece of paper to prove it?"
Gao Mulan couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to do, but how could she easily write such a thing and give him a handle? She slowly stood up, "The innocent will be innocent, the turbid will be turbid, there is no need to do this."
Niu Youdao nodded and put down the brush in his hand. "You're right. Why don't we take action? Since the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion also hopes to obtain the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit, I'll have to trouble Shopkeeper Gao to ask the Ice and Snow Pavilion for the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit."
Gao Mulan choked, "It is not that I am unwilling, it is not that Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion did not ask Ice Pavilion for it, but they did not agree, it was useless even if I spoke."
Niu Youdao, "Maybe it is different this time, I will recommend and speak for Shopkeeper Gao."
Gao Mulan, "I cannot make this decision, I need to report to the sect. Goodbye!" She clasped her hands and turned to leave.
Niu Youdao tapped his fingers on the table. "If I let you go, will you come back and kill me?"
Gao Mulan's heart tightened. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. "I've already said that there's no such thing. Someone must be spreading rumors!"
Niu Youdao looked at Wu Kong, "Shopkeeper Wu, someone wants to kill me, do you agree?"
Wu Kong, who had been watching from the sidelines, was taken aback. The Heavenly Jade Sect was now in an alliance with the Myriad Grottoes Manor, so how could he speak carelessly? He forced a smile and said, "Brother Niu, there might be some misunderstanding here. Even if Manager Gao wanted to kill you, he wouldn't come all the way to the Rainbow Inn to look for you, right?"
Niu Youdao: "You mean, after I leave the inn, she will make a move, right?"
"No no no." Wu Kong hurriedly waved his hand to deny it. He found that this person was a little unreasonable. "What I mean is, if Manager Gao really had such an intention, there is no need for him to come looking for you."
Niu You said, "Then explain to me, why is she not willing to prove it left and right?"
Wu Kong wanted to say something, but on second thought, there was no need for him to get involved. He sighed and said, "Brother Niu, I don't know the answer to this question. How should I answer?"
Gao Mulan: "Brother Niu, I've said it. Wait for me to report this to the sect. I will give you an answer later."
Niu Youdao looked at her coldly. "If you're not afraid of death, you can try to leave. Let's see if this inn will let the person who wants to kill me leave!"
Gao Mulan was furious. "If you want to pin a crime on someone, you can always find a pretext. Niu Youdao, I came to remind you to be careful, but you're so rude. Don't go too far!"
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Whether I'm trying to pin a crime on you or not, you know it better than anyone. Leave the calligraphy here, or I will bring you to the Ice and Snow Pavilion to ask for the Crimson Sun Fruit. Of course, you can also try to kill your way out of the Rainbow Inn! "He grabbed the writing brush on the table and passed it to her, waiting.
Hei Peony was speechless. Wasn't he afraid of offending the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor?
Wu Kong was unperturbed. He didn't know what was going on, so he pretended not to see anything. As the representative of the Heavenly Jade School, he had to prioritize the interests of the school. There was no need to cause trouble for them.
Gao Mulan's chest heaved up and down. She really wanted to rush forward and take him down. However, she didn't dare to do so. If she really did so, not only would she not be able to leave the Ice and Snow Pavilion alive, she would also bring disaster to the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor. Even though the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor was famous in Zhao Country, if the Ice and Snow Pavilion wanted to destroy the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Manor, they could do it with just a word!
However, Niu Youdao didn't give her any other choice. There were only three options, and she had to choose one!
She didn't dare to leave directly, and she also wouldn't do something as stupid as leaving behind a brush. After thinking it over, she felt that it wouldn't be a big deal if she went with him to ask for the medicine. At most, she could just ask for it. If the Ice and Snow Pavilion didn't agree, she couldn't force it. "Alright! Asking for the medicine for Provincial Governor Xiao is a matter of course. I will go with you. You can come to the shop to find me at any time. Farewell! "
"It's not too late to leave after this matter is settled!" Niu Youdao said lightly. He walked to the shelf with the treasured sword and grabbed it.
Gao Mulan, who was about to turn around, suddenly froze. She said angrily, "Shouldn't I at least go back and give an explanation?"
The treasured sword was half-unsheathed. The sunlight outside the window shone on his face. "It's the same even if you stay here. I will arrange for someone from your shop to come over. If there's anything, you can just instruct someone else to do it."
"You …" Gao Mulan clenched her teeth.
Wu Kong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Niu, I have conveyed the message. I still have some matters to attend to in the shop, so I will take my leave first."
Niu Youdao said, "There's no hurry. Stay here together. With someone accompanying you, Shopkeeper Gao won't be lonely."
Wu Kong's face darkened. "Brother Niu, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to put me under house arrest?"
Swoosh! Sheathing the treasured sword, Niu Youdao tossed it over. Yuan Gang, who was crossing his arms in front of his chest, reached out to catch it. Niu Youdao clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, you're thinking too much. Heavenly Jade Clan and I are old acquaintances. Are you unwilling to stay behind and be a witness for me and Shopkeeper Gao? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience and want to harm me? "
Wu Kong said in a low voice, "Brother Niu, you can't speak carelessly. It's not good to bite whoever you catch! If you want me to be a witness, I will agree. I won't run away from the shop. If there's anything, you can look for me at any time. "
Niu Youdao said, "I will inform someone from Heavenly Jade Clan's shop to come see you. If there's anything, let them handle it. Hei Peony, your room is empty. Please go and rest! "
Strong! Decisive and without the slightest bit of mercy.
Hei Peony was a little frightened. She could tell that Wu Kong was using the tiger's power to intimidate others. However, she wondered if he had gone too far. He had offended the Ten Thousand Grottoes and Heavenly Jade Clan. What was he trying to do?
"Both of you, please follow me." She walked up to Wu Kong and Gao Mulan and extended her hand to invite them in.
The two shopkeepers dared to be angry and speak, but they did not dare to act recklessly. Forced by the situation, they had no choice but to submit. Wu Kong swung his sleeves and snorted coldly. Gao Mulan followed him with a taut face.
Glancing sideways at Niu Youdao, he added, "Shopkeeper Wu, if you let Shopkeeper Gao escape, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
The two of them paused for a moment. Ignoring him, they left.
Yuan Gang walked up to the shelf and placed the treasured sword back on the shelf. He turned around and walked to the side of Niu Youdao, who was gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back.
Niu Youdao seemed to be talking to himself. "The matter has been exposed. If the Crimson Sun Vermillion Fruit's origin isn't legitimate, then there's no difference whether we have it or not. Even if we bring it back, Hai Ruyue would not dare to use it."
Yuan Gang asked, "How did it end up like this?"
In his impression, the late Daoye did not make a move, but once he did, he would almost never fail.
Niu Youdao said, "I ran into an expert. That Shao Pingbo made his move and locked onto me so quickly. This person is more difficult to deal with than I thought. I can't figure out how he knew that I was coming to the Ice and Snow Pavilion to ask for the Crimson Sun Vermillion Fruit. This person is very dangerous!"
Yuan Gang said, "I'll go to the Northern Prefecture and find a chance to kill him."
Niu Youdao shook his head. "It's too risky. He has many experts around him. It's hard to find a chance to kill him if we force it."
Yuan Gang asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Go and find out which family is supporting the Shao Family. Tell them my name and invite the shopkeeper of their shop over. Also, invite the people from the Celestial Retaining Sect, Spiritual Grace Mountain, and Floating Cloud Sect …" Niu Youdao instructed.
After a short discussion, Yuan Gang left quickly.
Yuan Gang bumped into Black Peony just as he left. Black Peony stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Will Daoye get into trouble with this?"
To her, the forces of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode and the Heavenly Jade School were too great.
"Daoye knows what he's doing!" Yuan Gang didn't waste time talking to her. He left after saying that. He knocked on the door and left with Wei Duo.
Black Peony, who watched him disappear down the stairs, cursed silently …
In the lobby of the inn, Yuan Gang found a waiter and asked for some information. Then, he quickly summoned Duan Hu, Wu Sanliang, and Lei Zongkang. They left the inn and went straight to the Great Zen Mountain's shop.
"Sir, is there anything you want to buy or sell?"
The moment they entered the Great Zen Mountain's shop, the waiter came up to greet them. However, the tone of his greeting had changed. He glanced at Duan Hu and the others behind Yuan Gang from time to time. They had met before.
Yuan Gang pushed the waiter aside and stared at the person behind the counter. He asked as he walked, "Is the shopkeeper here?"
Duan Hu and the others, who were following behind, saw Yuan Gang's actions and broke out in a cold sweat. A sect that could support an entire prefecture was no joke. This person really didn't hold back.
However, the waiter wanted to say something but stopped himself. He didn't react.
The person behind the counter stood up. It was the shopkeeper, Mei Shikai.
Mei Shikai looked around and noticed Duan Hu and the others. Slowly, he said, "I am the shopkeeper. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yuan Gang, "Daoye wants to see you."
Mei Shikai could roughly guess who the so-called 'Daoye' was. Although Shao Pingbo didn't ask the people from the Great Zen Mountain to make a move, it was impossible for the Great Zen Mountain not to pay attention to it.
"May I know which Daoye it is?" Mei Shikai asked despite knowing the answer.
"Niu Youdao!"
When they left the Great Zen Mountain's shop, Yuan Gang had one less person with him. Lei Zongkang stayed behind to lead the way for Mei Shikai.
The group went straight to the Immortal Retaining Sect's shop.
Once they entered the shop, the Immortal Retaining Sect's disciple welcomed them and smiled. "Sir …"
Bang! Yuan Gang suddenly punched the disciple's abdomen with a heavy punch.
The strength was so fierce that the Immortal Retaining Sect disciple, who was caught off guard, was sent flying by the punch. "Pfff!" The disciple spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and the sound of his ribs breaking could be faintly heard. He crashed into a row of shelves with a loud bang.
Wei Duo, Duan Hu, and the others were shocked. They wondered if this person had gone crazy.
The commotion startled a group of people from the Immortal Retaining Sect's shop and surrounded them. Xiao Tie appeared and shouted, "Who is it?"
