Ever since he left the Shangqing Sect, it had been a long time since he could practice peacefully like this, and it had also been a long time since he could practice in such a peaceful environment.
Of course, this peaceful environment did not fall from the sky. It was created by himself.
As he opened the door and walked out, he saw Black Peony, who was bowing slightly in greeting. He also saw the Sect Master of the Retaining Immortal Sect, Fei Changliu, who was standing with his hands clasped behind his back.
Niu Youdao walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fei Changliu at the edge of the cliff.
Fei Changliu looked back at him, puzzled. If it weren't for Zhao Xiongge, his Immortal Retaining Sect wouldn't even care about the Shangqing Sect. But now, an abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Actually, in his heart, he knew that saying they were on the same side was just being polite. The Immortal Retaining Sect had to rely on the other party's whims.
Whenever he thought of this matter, he secretly shook his head for the Shanghai Sect. The Shanghai Sect destroyed its own foundation by abandoning such an outstanding talent!
Niu Youdao tilted his head and smiled, "What's the matter, Sect Leader Fei?"
Fei Changliu said, "There's movement from the Ice Pavilion."
Niu Youdao's expression turned serious. "What's the situation?"
Fei Changliu said, "The situation is similar to what you said. Sure enough, someone is stirring up trouble. I've already arrested two people, but the news still spread in the Ice and Snow Pavilion. It seems that the other party used more than one person to spread the rumor."
Niu Youdao: "Have you figured out where they came from?"
Fei Changliu replied, "Yes. The two people we arrested were disciples of a small sect in the Yan territory. They only knew that they were acting on the orders of their sects, but they didn't know who the mastermind was."
Niu Youdao: "Did you catch two of them?"
Fei Changliu nodded. "Two."
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Keep one as a backup and throw one to Great Zen Mountain's shop. Tell them that I said it was Shao Pingbo's doing and let them do as they see fit!"
Fei Changliu said meaningfully, "You're trying to kill Shao Pingbo by doing this!"
Niu Youdao chuckled: "What else? He instigated the Song family to send you to the Great Snowmountain to kill me. Wasn't he trying to kill me? Do I need to be polite? "
Why did he summon Great Zen Mountain Sect Leader Huang Lie to Ice and Snow Pavilion to face Chu Anlou? He was waiting for today to pressure Great Zen Mountain!
Fei Changliu said, "I just want to know, did you really cause the avalanche at the Ice and Snow Pavilion?"
Behind him, Black Peony was on tenterhooks when she heard this reminder. She had also participated in that shameful matter. Once it was exposed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Niu Youdao shrugged. "How is that possible? Do you really think I would do such a thing? "
Fei Changliu: "You do have this motive. Hai Ruyue must have helped us for a reason, right?"
Niu Youdao shook his head and said, "You are thinking too much. There is another reason why Hai Ruyue can help, so it is not convenient for me to say more. Besides, even if I wanted the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit, I could only ask for it openly. Otherwise, who would dare give it to Xiao Tianzhen? It was more like courting death! If it were you, would you dare to do it? "
He would not admit this even if he was beaten to death. Otherwise, he could scare the Solitary Immortal Sect away.
Fei Changliu was silent for a moment. Thinking about it, he heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "There won't be any consequences for this, right?"
Niu Youdao smiled and said, "Since it is within my expectations, what consequences can there be? Otherwise, I would have gone into hiding long ago. How would I dare to cultivate here in peace? "
Before Fei Changliu left, Niu Youdao did not forget to remind him again, "Sect Leader Fei, don't forget to throw one to Great Zen Mountain's shop."
"I won't forget." Fei Changliu raised his hand and did not turn back. He left. How could he forget? This matter made him feel uneasy.
At this moment, Black Peony walked closer and said in a low voice, "Daoye, will something happen?"
She was clear that the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit incident was indeed caused by them.
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Are you afraid?"
Black Peony sighed and said, "A little, but it's already done. I'm afraid it's too late." She smiled bitterly. She really was playing with fire. In the past, she never dreamed that she would dare to do something so audacious.
Niu Youdao said, "Tell Yuan Fang to come over."
Black Peony nodded and quickly left.
Not long after, Yuan Fang arrived. He still didn't know what was going on. He asked, "Daoye, do you have any instructions?"
Niu Youdao made a sound of acknowledgment. Slowly, he said, "Inform Lu Shengzhong that the time is right. We can make our move! Also, tell the Northern State to keep a close watch. If there is any news, report it immediately. "
"Yes!" Yuan Fang accepted the order and left.
Not long after Yuan Fang left, a figure flew over from afar. He passed the guards and flew directly over, landing on the cliff.
The newcomer was none other than Bai Yao, who didn't look very old but had a head full of white hair. He stared coldly at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao cupped his fists and smiled. "Senior Bai, you've come personally. What's the matter?"
Bai Yao said sternly, "Did you touch the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit?"
Niu Youdao understood immediately. Clearly, the commotion at the Ice and Snow Pavilion had alarmed the Heavenly Jade Sect. After all, the Heavenly Jade Sect also had a shop there.
Bai Yao had indeed received an urgent message from his sect and came over to ask about it. The Heavenly Jade Sect was waiting for his reply.
To be honest, the Heavenly Jade Sect was a little shocked. How much courage did he have to do such a thing?
Niu Youdao shook his head. "Fei Changliu came just now. I've heard the news as well. However, it has nothing to do with me. Someone is trying to harm me …" His words were the same as what he had said to Fei Changliu.
Bai Yao, who had come with murderous intent, fell silent. After thinking about it, it made sense. The matter with the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves had already been settled. There was no need to worry too much about Hai Ruyue.
Under such circumstances, stealing the Scarlet Sun Vermillion Fruit would only be a fool.
Moreover, how could it be so easy to steal something from the Ice and Snow Pavilion? Did they think that the people of the Ice and Snow Pavilion were all dead?
Bai Yao muttered, "If the Ice and Snow Pavilion takes this seriously, I'm afraid this matter will be a little troublesome."
Niu Youdao said disapprovingly, "You worry too much. I naturally have my reasons for being able to enter the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Don't worry, Heavenly Jade Sect."
Bai Yao suddenly looked at him. He had heard some things, but he couldn't figure out what relationship this guy had with the Ice and Snow Pavilion. But then again, it was a good thing that nothing would happen to him.
"Right, I have something to ask Senior Bai to pass on to the Heavenly Jade Sect. The Heavenly Jade Sect has earned too much from that wine. It's making people jealous. Even if you eat the meat, you have to leave some soup for others to drink. The rules of supply will not change, but the price will have to be increased a little. Four hundred gold coins per jar. "
Taking advantage of the Ice and Snow Pavilion's incident, Niu Youdao decisively increased the price.
Doubled! Bai Yao coldly said, "I don't care about this matter. Go talk to the Heavenly Jade Sect yourself."
Niu Youdao said, "Senior Bai doesn't need to worry. I just want Senior Bai to pass on a message. After deducting some expenses, the Heavenly Jade Sect would earn at least five hundred gold coins per jar. Ten thousand jars would mean five million gold coins per year. That's more than enough! Everyone here is working for the Heavenly Jade Sect. If you want everyone to feel at ease, you have to give them something to eat. We can't let the Heavenly Jade Sect take all the benefits. One mustn't be too greedy. If the Heavenly Jade Sect doesn't agree, I will immediately find someone else to cooperate with! "
Bai Yao stared at him coldly without saying a word. After a long time, he turned around and left.
Niu Youdao watched him leave with his hands clasped behind his back. The Ice and Snow Pavilion had caused such a huge commotion that many people were watching. If he could get through this and the Ice and Snow Pavilion didn't find trouble with him, he would be able to borrow another bit of influence. The Yan Imperial Court wouldn't dare to touch him, and the Heavenly Jade Sect wouldn't dare to act blindly without thinking.
"I need time …" Niu Youdao murmured to himself. His gaze was distant, and his mind was full of thoughts …
In the warm room of the Gold Province Provincial Governor's Mansion, Hai Ruyue and her son Xiao Tianzhen were having a meal.
"Eat more." As usual, Hai Ruyue picked up some food for her son with a pair of chopsticks. Her other hand was holding a towel to wipe off the beads of sweat that appeared on her fair skin.
The weather was getting hotter, and there was a brazier burning. How could she not sweat? Her clothes were still half-wet even though she was wearing thin clothes.
She was already a sexy beauty, and the current situation was even more alluring.
Xiao Tianzhen was only taking a bite. Obviously, he didn't have much appetite. His face was still pale and bloodless.
"The summer that you like is coming. Eat well and take care of your body. Only then will you have the energy to go out and play."
While Hai Ruyue was persuading her son, the door suddenly opened with a 'bang'. Someone had used brute force to push the door open, giving the mother and son a shock.
The mother and son turned around and saw Li Wuhua at the door with a gloomy face. There were two people following behind him. They were also the elders of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion. Their expressions were also not good.
Hai Ruyue was startled. She didn't expect the other two elders to come as well.
"The two elders have come personally. I was unable to welcome you …" Hai Ruyue realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence.
Li Wuhua and the other two walked in. They stared at Xiao Tianzhen and pressed towards him.
The maids in the room didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
The housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion, Zhu Shun, was standing at the door with a worried expression.
Xiao Tianzhen slowly stood up. His eyes were filled with anger.
Hai Ruyue reached out and pulled her son behind her. She was flustered and forced a smile, "Is there anything the three elders need?"
Li Wuhua pushed her to the side, then reached out and grabbed Xiao Tianzhen's wrist, directly invoking his arts to feel his pulse.
Xiao Tianzhen struggled for a while but couldn't break free. He looked angry but didn't dare to say anything.
After checking his pulse, Li Wuhua slowly let go of him. He turned around and shook his head at the two brothers. "There's no problem! I said that they wouldn't have the guts. "
The other two elders stepped forward together and grabbed Xiao Tianzhen's wrist to check his pulse. Then, they looked at each other and slowly let go of Xiao Tianzhen's hand.
Then, they smiled and cupped their hands at Hai Ruyue. "Princess Royal, please calm down. It's just a misunderstanding."
After that, they nodded at Li Wuhua and left together.
Hai Ruyue's heart was still pounding. Seeing that everything seemed to be fine, she waved at Zhu Shun.
Zhu Shun immediately came in. He took Xiao Tianzhen's hand and took him away. He also took the maids away.
Without outsiders, Hai Ruyue asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Li Wuhua looked at her. "There are rumors that Niu Youdao stole the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit from the Ice and Snow Pavilion. You didn't conspire with him, did you?"
Hai Ruyue was frightened. "How is it possible? How can you believe rumors?"
Although she did conspire with Niu Youdao, she didn't dare to admit it. Even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't dare to admit it. The Ice and Snow Pavilion didn't care whether she was the Princess Royal or not. They didn't even care about the Emperor of Zhao. What was the Princess Royal to them?
In fact, Niu Youdao didn't say that he was going to 'steal' the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit.
