Yuan Gang was silent, coldly observing Chu Anlou's reaction. He couldn't and wouldn't do Daoye's act of playing the fool.
"…" Chu Anlou was speechless. The Chief Steward had asked him to treat him well, saying that he had something for him to do. Why did he run away?
After coming back to his senses, he asked, "Are you saying that I harmed you?"
Niu Youdao hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no."
Chu Anlou said, "You can't leave now."
Niu Youdao said, "Can't I let them go and leave too?"
Chu Anlou didn't know how to explain to him, so he emphasized again, "I'll say it again, the Rainbow Inn will not get involved in your feud. You're asking for trouble if you want to use the inn to shield you from trouble. You can't bear the consequences if you dare to use the Ice and Snow Pavilion!"
Niu Youdao said, "How would I dare to use the Ice and Snow Pavilion? I just want to take this opportunity to negotiate with the other sects. If it goes well and they're willing to let me go, then so be it. If it doesn't go well, then I don't dare to ask the Ice and Snow Pavilion to do anything for me."
Chu Anlou wanted to ask him, if this wasn't using him, then what was?
But the crux of the matter was that he couldn't run even if he didn't use him. They wouldn't let him go.
Chu Anlou didn't say a word and turned to leave.
"Shopkeeper Chu …" Niu Youdao couldn't stop him even after shouting a few times.
Yuan Gang went to the door and confirmed that Chu Anlou had left. He quickly walked back and said in a low voice, "He's gone."
Niu Youdao said Slowly, "He can't make the decision on this matter. He must have gone to ask for instructions."
Soon, a few waiters came up and guarded the place, not letting anyone in or out. They were keeping an eye on them and not letting them escape.
Chu Anlou went out from the back of the inn.
The entire inn was like a cliff, and behind it was a real cliff. A waterfall poured down from the cliff, and there were winding stone steps on both sides of the cliff.
Chu Anlou didn't walk the stone steps. Instead, he flew up and came to the only lush land in this world of ice and snow. The jade palaces were hidden by the verdant green.
In a jade building, a group of white-clothed women were either standing, sitting, writing, or walking back and forth to pass notes. From time to time, golden wings would fly around outside the jade building, and news would constantly enter and leave.
This was the central location for the creation of the Pill Rankings.
In the spotless hall, one or two gray-clothed women with gray hair on their temples were walking back and forth among a group of women with their hands clasped behind their back. From time to time, they would stop to read what those women were writing. They were the Head Steward of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, Hanbing.
After someone came forward to report, Han Bing left the spacious hall.
Chu Anlou, who was waiting outside the hall, hurriedly bowed. "Chief Steward."
Han Bing asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
Chu Anlou followed her down the jade steps. "Chief Steward, there's something wrong with that Xuanyuan Dao."
Han Bing asked as he walked, "What problem?"
Chu Anlou: "Xuanyuan Dao's true identity is actually that Niu Youdao who assassinated Ambassador Yan."
"Do I need you to investigate his identity?" Han Bing said lightly, "I already knew that he was Niu Youdao. So what? I just asked him to paint. Is there a problem?"
"Paint?" Chu Anlou was stunned. He already knew that the other party was Niu Youdao? He only just realized what he needed to do.
Han Bing: "He painted a painting for Sha Xuanli. Sha Xuanli invited Miss to admire it together, and Miss liked it. It's that simple. We just want to find Xuanyuan Dao to paint. There's no need to expose his identity and get involved. Do you understand what I mean? "
Chu Anlou sweated. "Chief Steward, it's not that I want to expose him, but his identity has already been exposed …" He roughly explained the situation.
Han Bing snorted. "What a reckless guy. He even dares to use the Ice and Snow Pavilion."
Chu Anlou: "I'll find another way to find the best painter for Miss."
Han Bing shook his head. "It's best if he doesn't. Miss said that his paintings are very special, unique in the world!"
"…" Chu Anlou was speechless. Is it that exaggerated? "
Han Bing: "I've already sent the news to Miss. Miss should return from overseas in a few days. Let him wait for Miss to return."
Chu Anlou: "What do you mean?"
…
On the top floor of the inn, Chu Anlou met with Niu Youdao again. He only said one thing. "Release him immediately!"
Niu Youdao tilted his head at Black Peony. "Do as Shopkeeper Chu says."
"Yes!" Black Peony walked away with quick steps, somewhat on edge.
Chu Anlou also turned and left.
Yuan Gang whispered into Niu Youdao's ear, "Will there be any changes?"
Niu Youdao tilted his head and replied in a low voice, "I don't think so. Otherwise, he could have released him directly. There's no need for him to come over and greet us first."
The two then left the room and saw Chu Anlou standing in the round hall with his hands behind his back.
Black Peony knocked on the doors one by one to greet them. Soon, Wu Kong of the Heavenly Jade Sect, Gao Mulan of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Palace, Mei Shikai of the Great Zen Mountain, Wu Shaohuan of the Retaining Immortal Sect, Cao Heng of the Fuyun Sect, Li Huoyun of the Lingxiu Mountain, and the others came out one after another.
The series of movements outside caused Pei Niangzi and the others to open their doors to see what was going on.
Chu Anlou turned to Niu Youdao and asked, "Is that all?"
Niu Youdao nodded.
Chu Anlou immediately cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, "Everyone, my apologies. It was my oversight that caused you to suffer grievances. The Rainbow Inn will not involve itself in the matters of the outside world and will not interfere in your matters. I, Chu Anlou, will take my leave now."
They released him just like that? Yuan Gang tilted his head to look at Niu Youdao. This was not in line with Daoye's expectations of the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Niu Youdao's face tightened. He didn't expect the Ice and Snow Pavilion to be so ruthless. They wanted the horse to run, but they didn't give it to eat!
He said decisively, "Everyone, the grievances between us have nothing to do with the Rainbow Inn. Everything is my personal opinion. I'll have to trouble everyone to inform the sect leaders to gather at the Ice and Snow Pavilion as soon as possible!"
Chu Anlou suddenly turned to look at Niu Youdao, who was standing there expressionlessly.
Chu Anlou turned back again and cupped his hands at everyone and said, "Everyone, as he said, it has nothing to do with the Rainbow Inn. Once he leaves the inn, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with the Rainbow Inn. Everyone, settle your grievances and take your revenge. We won't interfere!"
Niu Youdao nodded. "That's right!"
They echoed each other! The group of people who were under house arrest cursed Chu Anlou in their hearts. How dare he put up a memorial after being a prostitute.
Everyone cupped their hands at Chu Anlou and ignored Niu Youdao before leaving one after another.
Pei Niangzi and the rest who were watching from the door looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
When everyone had disappeared, Niu Youdao asked Chu Anlou, "Shopkeeper Chu, can we leave now?"
"Stay here for a few days. The Pavilion Master will see you later." Chu Anlou said and put his hand behind his back, his face almost touching Niu Youdao's face. He said in a low voice, "Niu Youdao, I'm reminding you out of goodwill that you've taken advantage of me. Take it as a reward for your help in the future. However, this matter ends here. In the future, you're not allowed to use the Ice and Snow Pavilion's name to do anything. Your body is weak, you won't be able to bear such a great fortune. You'll crush someone to death." He reached out and slapped Niu Youdao's face twice.
Niu Youdao stood there motionlessly and didn't dodge. A red mark appeared on his face. At the same time, he held onto Yuan Gang's wrist tightly, not allowing him to move recklessly.
Meeting Niu Youdao's gaze, Wei Duo stopped in his tracks. He clenched his fists and lowered his head.
Chu Anlou stared at the restless Yuan Gang. "I'll be at the Rainbow Inn. If you have any complaints, come find me at any time!"
What he meant was, if you want revenge, come find me at any time. I'll be waiting here.
Leaving behind a look of disdain, he turned and left with his hands behind his back. In reality, he didn't need to be afraid of their revenge.
The round hall was silent.
Black Peony and the rest looked at Niu Youdao and the red mark on Niu Youdao's face. They were stunned and didn't know what to do.
They never expected that the omnipotent Daoye in their eyes would be humiliated in a way that only wandering cultivators like them could.
Pei Niangzi and the rest looked at each other. As long as they weren't blind, they could tell that this person had been humiliated by Shopkeeper Chu. Hadn't he been polite earlier?
After watching Chu Anlou's figure disappear down the stairs, Yuan Gang, who was staring coldly at the stairs, said in a low voice, "I'll get a few tons of explosives and help him decorate the inn."
"This slap was worth it. We asked for it. We still have things to do, so don't mess around." Only then did Niu Youdao let go of Yuan Gang's wrist.
Yuan Gang asked, "Just like that?"
"Whether it counts or not depends on the situation. There's no point in saying harsh words," Niu Youdao said in a low voice. He then turned around and waved at Black Peony.
Black Peony came over. "Daoye!"
Niu You said, "The situation has changed. Go to the Ten Thousand Grotto-Manor's shop immediately and tell Gao Mulan that inviting the Ten Thousand Grotto-Manor's Sect Leader over was a joke. Tell her that I will no longer be involved in the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit's matter. Tell her not to take it to heart. Bring Lei Zongkang with you. He can take care of her. "
With Shao Pingbo's interference, there were too many uncontrollable variables. Now, his original plan had been completely messed up. This time, he had suffered a loss because of Shao Pingbo. He had no choice but to admit it.
"Yes!" Black Peony answered. She then beckoned Lei Zongkang to leave with her.
"Alright, everything's fine now. Go back and rest." Niu Youdao waved at the others.
Pei Niangzi and the others slowly walked over. Pei Niangzi looked at the slap mark on Niu Youdao's face. She wanted to say something but hesitated. "What happened?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "I did something that made him unhappy. Don't worry, it's fine. You can stay here peacefully. If you're still worried, you can find another place to stay. I won't force you. "
Two days later, Pei Niangzi and the others still left. Before they left, they came over to greet Niu Youdao and the others. She didn't mention anything about the bet. Niu Youdao didn't mention it either.
Each of them rode on a giant eagle covered in golden feathers and descended from the sky. Behind them, there were two giant eagles that didn't carry any weight. They landed on the cliff.
Pei Niangzi and the others dragged Hao Qingqing and jumped onto the golden eagles. The three giant eagles carried them and soared into the sky.
This scene caused quite a few people inside and outside the canyon to gasp in shock. It must be known that a flying mount that was so powerful that it could carry a person could easily cost tens of millions of gold coins. There were not many people in the world who could afford one, let alone three of them.
