Listening to Tang Yi's words and the sudden appearance of the princess, Niu Youdao thought to himself, "It seems that King Ning and Dongguo Haoran are close friends!" "Could it be that Dongguo Haoran used to be King Ning's sorcerer?"
Tang Yi pointed to Niu Youdao and introduced, "Princess, this is Niu Youdao. After Uncle Master died, he was the only disciple left!"
Shang Shuqing bowed again, "Greetings, Master!"
Niu Youdao returned the greeting, "You're too polite, Princess." He glanced at Tang Yi, not knowing why she brought the princess here.
"Junior Brother, do you want the guest to stand at the door and talk?" Tang Yi asked.
Junior Brother? Niu Youdao frowned and cursed in his heart, "B * tch. You used to call me husband, but now you call me junior brother in front of outsiders?" "I'm handsome, so you want to eat young grass. Do you think it's a loss?"
He only dared to say this in his heart, not verbally. He quickly extended his hand, "Please!"
After they entered, Tang Yi looked around and introduced, "Princess, this is the place where Martial Uncle used to cultivate when he was alive. Now, only Junior Brother is left of Martial Uncle's lineage.
"It's quiet and elegant, what a good place!" Shang Shuqing praised.
They sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard one after another. Shang Shuqing took down a long box from her back and put it aside.
Tang Yi gave Tuján a look and the latter left after pouring the tea.
The two women chatted while drinking tea. Niu Youdao did not say anything. He did not know the situation of the Sect and did not want to cause trouble by saying too much.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yi put down the teacup and said, "Junior Brother, Princess is here for you."
"Me?" Niu Youdao pointed at his own nose. Looking at this and that, he was completely confused.
Shang Shuqing opened the wooden box on the table and showed Niu Youdao what was inside. There was a long sword lying quietly in the box.
Niu Youdao still did not understand and looked at Tang Yi suspiciously, as if asking, "For me?"
Tang Yi explained calmly, "This is a sword that Uncle Master gave to King Ning when the Shanghai Sect was indebted to him. He once told King Ning that if he had any requests, he would do his best to repay his kindness! Now that the Princess has come with a sword, and Martial Uncle is no longer here, I should repay this kindness! "
"…" Niu Youdao was speechless. What the hell? How could this be? However, he knew that he was not in the position to reason, so he tried to ask, "How do I repay the kindness?"
Tang Yi said calmly, "Princess is traveling with the Little Prince this time. She needs a sorcerer to accompany her."
Repaying a debt of gratitude sounded simple, but Niu Youdao wasn't an idiot. What kind of status did he have? According to the situation of this world, with such a noble status, how could he not have a mage by his side? A princess came all the way here to repay a favor just for an ordinary sorcerer? Something was not right no matter how he thought about it.
He looked at Shang Shuqing but he could not see his reaction because he was wearing a veil.
"This …" Niu Youdao said reluctantly, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"
Tang Yi stood up and said, "Junior Brother, come with me."
Niu Youdao had no choice but to follow her with a belly full of doubts.
After entering the main hall and the inner room, Tang Yi suddenly turned around and stared at him, "Our Shanghai Sect is a righteous sect. We keep our promises and there is no reason for us to go back on our words. Uncle Master made a promise to someone. If he did not keep his words, wouldn't our Shanghai Sect be a laughing stock? Now that Uncle Master is gone, if you don't repay the favor he left behind, who else can? "
Niu Youdao sighed, "He wants a sorcerer accompanying him. What's the point of me going there? Do you think I can be considered a sorcerer?"
Tang Yi said, "What is his identity? Do you think he needs a follower like you? Many people in the sect want to be a sorcerer by his side but he is here for Uncle Master. What do you think we should do? "
Niu Youdao stared at her eyes and said calmly, "Do I have to go?"
The look in his eyes made Tang Yi turn her head to avoid his gaze, "If you don't go, you will be tarnishing the reputation of the Shanghai Sect. According to the sect rules, you will be severely punished!"
Niu Youdao showed a hint of self-mockery and said with a smile, "It seems that I have no choice. Well, since Master owes me a favor, I will go and repay it!"
Seeing that he agreed, Tang Yi did not say anything else and turned around to leave.
The two of them returned to the courtyard, and Niu Youdao accepted the sword, which was equivalent to agreeing. He took the sword in front of the two girls, and with a clang, he unsheathed a section of the sword. A cold light flashed, and there were veined patterns on the sword's body, which contained a threatening killing intent. He couldn't help but praise, "Good sword!"
Near the hilt of the sword was engraved with the words' Loyal Heart of Blood '. He did not know whether it was Dongguo Haoran's sword or not, but the engraved words were somewhat tragic.
After Tang Yi said a few words, Shang Shuqing bowed to Niu Youdao and thanked him, "Thank you, master!"
Niu Youdao sheathed the sword in his hand and looked at her, "From the beginning to the end, the princess refused to show her true face …"
Tang Yi suddenly interrupted him, "Junior Brother, don't be rude!"
"It doesn't matter!" Shang Shuqing was magnanimous. He stretched out his hand and pulled up the veil, revealing his face.
Niu Youdao was a little expectant, but he could not help but twitch his mouth and almost jump out of his skin when he saw the face.
Judging from the voice and the figure, the voice was so beautiful, the figure was so graceful, and the manner was so elegant. He thought that even if she was not a beauty, she would still be acceptable. Unexpectedly, the face was like a Yin and Yang face. Half of the face was covered with a dark blue birthmark. It was really ugly and could scare people in broad daylight. Finally, he understood why she always wore a gauze hat.
Tang Yi did not think it was strange. Obviously, she had seen it before. She coldly stared at Niu Youdao as if saying, "Are you satisfied now?"
"My face is ugly, master. My apologies for frightening you." Shang Shuqing apologized with his white teeth and put down the veil again.
Niu Youdao looked embarrassed and said, "I was rude. Please don't blame me, princess."
"Alright!" Tang Yi stopped them and said politely, "It's late now, and it's not convenient to go out. You take advantage of the night to pack up and go down the mountain with the princess tomorrow morning."
"Got it." Niu Youdao nodded.
Tang Yi extended her hand and asked Shang Shuqing to leave with her.
Niu Youdao sent them to the door and looked at Tuján who was guarding outside. The latter also followed them and left. The temporary liveliness dissipated and returned to normal.
The peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze. Niu Youdao walked over to the peach tree and sat down. He took out the sword in his hand and effortlessly drew a deep mark on the ground. It was extremely sharp. Niu Youdao clicked his tongue in his heart. Before, there was a copper mirror with hidden mysteries. Looking at this sword now, it seemed that the craftsmanship of this world was indeed beyond his imagination.
He played with the sword and admired it, but his mind was not on the sword. He thought that he could finally get out of here and see the outside world, but he could not be happy. He obviously felt that there was something fishy about this trip, but he did not know whether it was good or bad.
He really did not expect that he could get out of the house arrest of the Sect in this way.
The sun gradually set. He lay under the peach tree and bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. Although it was beautiful, he did not move. No one knew what he was thinking …
In the deserted hall, Tang Susu sat quietly on the futon. Tang Yi walked in slowly and came to Tang Susu's side. She saluted and said, "Elder!"
Tang Susu asked, "Leader, is everything done?"
Tang Yi said, "Yes," but did not say anything.
Tang Susu said, "Leader, do you think that I have done too much?"
Tang Yi said, "I just think that since the Shanghai Sect was indebted to King Ning, it should be the Shanghai Sect that should return the favor. Why put all the blame on Uncle Dongguo?"
Tang Susu said, "Isn't he a disciple of the Shanghai Sect? What's more, it was indeed him, Dongguo Haoran, who promised to give the sword. Now that King Ning's children are in trouble, it is the master's promise. It is only right and proper for the disciple to return the favor. "
Tang Yi lowered his head to look at the ground and softly sighed, "It's not like those siblings are idiots. Whether or not Niu Youdao is capable, if he stays by their side, sooner or later, they will find out. When that happens, they will naturally understand that the Shang Qing Sect is tricking them."
Tang Susu said, "So what? If he is really a smart person, he should know that he should not come to the Shanghai Sect at this time and make things difficult for the Shanghai Sect. Since they have come to us, our Shanghai Sect cannot go back on our words. Naturally, we will fulfill our promise. We have given them the person, what else do they want? "
Tang Yi said, "But if we do this, it is tantamount to sending Niu Youdao to die."
Tang Susu slowly stood up and stared at her eyes. "Leader, you are not in love with him, are you? Leader, you have to understand one thing. You are shouldering the great responsibility of the revival of the Shangqing Sect. We old guys are supporting you and have high hopes for you. You can't forget the righteousness because of a love affair! "
Tang Yi shook her head. "Elder, you think too much. He and I are just a nominal husband and wife. We have only seen each other a few times. How can there be a love affair between us? I just think that what we are doing is not what a righteous sect should do. "
Tang Susu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her voice became sharp. "That's what Dongguo Haoran asked for. He knew that King Ning's actions had aroused the public anger of the cultivators in the world and that sooner or later he would die a horrible death, but he still dared to flirt with King Ning. Back then, my senior fellow apprentice wanted him to take over the position of the head of the sect, but he was stopped by several masters. It turned out that he was right. Now what happened to King Ning? If he really got involved, do you think those people would let go of the Shanghai Sect? At this time, they still came to the Shanghai Sect. If it is not to make trouble for the Shanghai Sect, then what is it? With the current foundation of the Shanghai Sect, it really can't afford to be tossed around. Maybe it will bring a disaster to the sect. You are the head of the sect. You should know the seriousness of the matter! "
Tang Yi said calmly, "Elder, you seem to have forgotten one thing. He is my husband by name. If I ask him to come forward, once the news gets out, is there any difference between it and the Shanghai Sect getting involved?"
Tang Susu seemed to be aware of her gaffe. She quickly calmed down and said lightly, "Girl, you don't have to worry about this. I have already arranged it. There will be no chance to get involved in the future. Now that your position is stable, you don't need to leave any future trouble!"
