"If you're just using money to recruit soldiers for Prince Yongping, this kind of support is really a bad idea. Tsk … tsk. " Niu Youdao smiled and reached out to take the teacup from Peng Youzai's hand. He gently placed it in Peng Youzai's outstretched hand. "Not only will I be able to use the money to recruit soldiers for the Royal Prince of Yongping, I will also be able to make the Heavenly Jade Sect rich."
He then pointed at Fei Changliu and the others. "And you guys!"
They looked at each other. Peng Youzai put down his teacup and said, "I don't want to listen to those useless things. Why don't you take out the money?"
Niu Youdao said, "The money is in Heavenly Jade Sect's shop."
"…" Peng Youzai was stunned. He turned to look at the people behind him. Was there something he didn't know about this shop?
However, they all shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they didn't know what was going on.
Xia Hua interrupted, "Sect Leader Peng, I think he's talking about the goods in your shop. He sold the goods in our shop for a lot of money."
Peng Youzai's face darkened. He stared at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao laughed and scolded Xia Hua. "Sect Leader Xia's joke isn't funny. You lost something in your shop. Do you want others to lose it too?"
He turned to Peng Youzai and said, "Give me half a month. Half a month later, I'll make all the Sect Leaders happy at the sight of money!"
Everyone looked at each other. If it was really as this guy said, let alone a month, even half a year would be fine.
Peng Youzai said, "Since we've traveled a long way to get here, it's not a big deal to stay for half a month to understand the situation here. I'll wait for you for half a month. What if I can't take out the money in half a month?"
Niu Youdao pointed. "I'll move to your Heavenly Jade Sect's shop now. If I can't take out the money in half a month, you can do whatever you want with me. How about that?"
"Live in our shop?" Peng Youzai was suspicious.
Niu Youdao laughed. "I've already said that the money is in Heavenly Jade Sect's shop. Of course, I have to find it. Sect Leader Peng doesn't need to ask. You'll know when the time comes. Anyway, I'm trapped under your watch. You don't have to worry about me going back on my words and running away. What do you say? "
For the sake of money, the matter was settled.
Peng Youzai and the rest went back first while Niu Youdao and the rest checked out of the room and left.
"Leaving?"
In Chu Anlou's room, Niu Youdao came to bid farewell. Chu Anlou was surprised.
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "I have disturbed Shopkeeper Chu for so long, it's time for me to leave."
Chu Anlou asked suspiciously, "Done negotiating? They didn't make things difficult for you? "
Niu Youdao said, "I have no enmity with the Heavenly Jade School to begin with. The Immortal Retaining Sect and the other two sects were only trying to avenge the Song family in Yan Capital. Now that the Song family is on the verge of collapse, there's no need for them to keep pestering me. Let's just clear things up and let bygones be bygones."
Chu Anlou raised his eyebrows, "Did you use the Ice and Snow Pavilion as a pretense to settle things with them?"
Niu Youdao said, "Shopkeeper Chu, you worry too much. They may have been intimidated by the Ice and Snow Pavilion, but I can only stay here for a while. The Ice and Snow Pavilion won't interfere and can only cover up for me. There's still a long way to go, and there's still a lot to go through. As time passes, people will naturally realize whether or not the Ice and Snow Pavilion has anything to do with it. Normal people aren't fools. If they want to deceive others, they can only deceive themselves, not others. In the end, the truth will be revealed. Without anything concrete, using the pretense of the Ice and Snow Pavilion will only harm themselves. "
Chu Anlou calmed down a little, "It's good that you understand. I won't see you out then."
"Shopkeeper Chu, please wait. I will take my leave." Niu Youdao cupped his hands in obeisance and left.
Chu Anlou grunted in acknowledgment and watched him leave with his hands behind his back. He didn't mention the hundreds of thousands of gold coins in his hands, and neither did Niu Youdao. It was as if the matter had never happened.
With his head and face covered, Niu Youdao left the Rainbow Inn and brought his subordinates to the Heavenly Jade Sect's shop.
As soon as they settled in, Niu Youdao had Black Peony and the others prepare some materials. After that, Niu Youdao busied himself, sometimes processing some wood like a carpenter, and sometimes clanking like a blacksmith.
In Yuan Gang's words, he knew a lot of craftsmanship.
Peng Youzai also came over to take a look a few times, but no one knew what he was doing. Niu Youdao only said that he would know when the time was right, but after that, it seemed to have reached a critical point. Peng Youzai wanted to come but didn't let him and was stopped.
In the Northern Province, in the Lingbo Manor, in the garden pavilion, Huang Dou and Lin Hu stood in front of Shao Pingbo.
"How did he get involved with the Ice and Snow Pavilion?" Shao Pingbo was suspicious.
Huang Dou shook his head, "I don't know! However, I hope that Eldest Young Master will remember the Sect Leader's words. The situation is unclear, and I hope that Eldest Young Master will not provoke him to avoid unnecessary trouble. Especially remember that the Ice and Snow Pavilion is backed by Granny Xue, who is above all living beings. If anyone dares to provoke the Ice and Snow Pavilion, the consequences are not something we can bear. One word from the Ice and Snow Pavilion can turn the Shao Family into ashes. Eldest Young Master is a smart man, please remember! "
Shao Pingbo nodded calmly. "I will remember the Sect Leader's words!"
Seeing that he had made a promise, the two were relieved. They cupped their hands and bade farewell.
Shao Pingbo was silent for a while with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he asked, "What do you think about this?"
Steward Shao Sansheng stepped forward and sighed. "Since Eldest Young Master has agreed, let's do as the Great Zen Mountain says."
Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes. "I bet that he has nothing to do with the Ice and Snow Pavilion. He's just using his connections to intimidate others!"
Shao Sansheng was shocked. After all, he had followed Shao Pingbo for many years and understood him well. He could hear the deeper meaning in Shao Pingbo's words. Shao Pingbo was slightly worried. "Why does Eldest Young Master say that?"
Shao Pingbo snorted coldly. "The reason is simple. I'm sure that Niu Youdao won't let me go. If he really has something to do with the Ice and Snow Pavilion, he can just use the Ice and Snow Pavilion's power to kill me. The Great Zen Mountain won't dare to disobey and won't beat around the bush. If he didn't do that, it means that he can't do it. If that's not using his connections to intimidate others, then what is it? "
Shao Sansheng heard this and felt that it made sense. He asked again, "Then why was he able to do that at the Rainbow Inn?"
Shao Pingbo shook his head. "What I know is limited. I can't figure it out either. But I know that guy is cunning. There must be a reason that we don't know. It isn't like what Great Zen Mountain sees on the surface. In short, the more he shows off at the Rainbow Inn, the more problematic this matter is. But because of this, even Great Zen Mountain doesn't dare to touch him. The Song family can't be counted on either. He actually dodged a calamity like this. How hateful! "
Shao Sansheng asked, "Then why didn't young master explain it to Great Zen Mountain?"
Shao Pingbo asked back, "Explain it clearly? I said that Niu Youdao won't let me go. This matter can only be understood and cannot be explained in words. Without evidence, it can't be explained. Moreover, in Huang Lie's eyes, I am just an ant that is being used. If I am useful, then I will be used. If I am useless, then I will be kicked away. He won't take the risk of offending Ice and Snow Pavilion because of me. These people, when it comes to fighting and killing, they don't have enough brains. There's no way to explain it to this group of idiots. "
He turned around and said to Shao Sansheng in a low voice, "Contact other cultivators secretly and tell them to keep a close eye on Ice and Snow Pavilion. I am sure that Niu Youdao will do anything to get the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit. Ice and Snow Pavilion will change sooner or later!"
Shao Sansheng was shocked. "This young master has already exposed this matter and he still dares to do it?"
Shao Sansheng sneered. "Ice and Snow Pavilion? Isn't it just someone with a higher status? Do you think they are gods? It could only frighten some incompetent people, but it couldn't frighten capable people. Those who are capable are usually more confident. If he dares to go to Ice and Snow Pavilion, it shows that there is a problem. He used Great Zen Mountain to suppress me and said that I am going to use Ice and Snow Pavilion to deal with him. He is just taking precautions to shut my mouth. This shows that he isn't willing to give up. "
"This also shows that he has no relationship with Ice and Snow Pavilion. He won't be able to get the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit using normal methods. He has to use unconventional methods. I am afraid that he didn't intend to ask for it normally from the start. Get people to pay close attention, especially to the place where the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit is produced. If there is any abnormality, inform me immediately!"
With Great Zen Mountain's warning, Shao Sansheng felt uneasy. "Young master, even you said that Niu Youdao isn't simple. Is it worth it for him to take this risk?"
"Is it?" Shao Sansheng shook his head. "It is not worth it. It is too worth it. If I had his conditions, I would do the same. At the start, I didn't think about it. Through the news from Great Zen Mountain, that bastard has his eyes on the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit. Even after I exposed him, he still wouldn't let go. He would rather take the risk. Why is that? After that, I gradually understood. This bastard is very shrewd and farsighted. I am afraid that he has already set his eyes on the Gold Province! "
Shao Sansheng was surprised. "Gold Province is the territory of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion. How can they let it go?"
Shao Pingbo said, "Let me ask you. If the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit is sent to Hai Ruyue and her son, will Hai Ruyue let her son use it?"
Shao Sansheng said, "Of course. If there is a chance to save him, as a mother, there is no reason for her to watch her son die."
Shao Pingbo said, "Let me ask you again. What if it is stolen from Ice and Snow Pavilion?"
Shao Sansheng said, "I am afraid that she still has to use it. Once something happens to Xiao Tianzhen, her situation in Gold Province will be troublesome, whether it is for her son or herself." As he said this, he suddenly raised his head as if he had understood something.
Shao Pingbo stared at his eyes and knew that he had understood. He nodded slightly. "You are right. Once Xiao Tianzhen uses the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit that he stole from Ice and Snow Pavilion, Hai Ruyue and her son will not be able to escape from his control. They will definitely be secretly controlled by him. Otherwise, the anger of Ice and Snow Pavilion is not something that they can bear. He only needs to secretly control them. He doesn't need to face the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion head-on. Once the time is ripe, he can eat the Gold Province anytime. "
"This kind of person is very dangerous. As long as he sets his eyes on Gold Province, those people from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion might not be his match. They will die in his hands sooner or later. Moreover, secretly controlling the mother and son will bring him great benefits. This is the real reason why he is willing to use any means to obtain the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit. Now, I can basically confirm that he never intended to ask for it directly from the beginning. He must have hidden it from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion and other forces. Knowing that he even detained the people from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion at the Rainbow Inn, I am even more certain of this! "
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Ice and Snow Pavilion. He will definitely make a move. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. I must eliminate this bastard in one fell swoop!"
