Was that for real? Hu Yanwei froze for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. How could this woman get to know Niu Youdao? He said sarcastically, "I'm convinced, of course I'm convinced. You're the princess, how could I not be convinced?"
He didn't look convinced at all; it was more like he was mocking her. Hao Qingqing immediately exploded and pointed at him angrily. "Beard, why are you acting so weird?"
Hu Yanwei laughed. "Haha!"
Hao Qingqing was angry. "Don't laugh!"
Hu Yanwei asked, "Which law says I can't laugh?"
Swish! Hao Qingqing pulled out a decorative dagger from her waist, wanting to teach him a lesson. "I'll help you shave your face!"
How could Pei Niangzi let her have her way? He pressed down on her shoulder, making her unable to move.
The people around shook their heads at this pair of enemies. Those who were familiar with them knew that these two would fight whenever they met.
Of course, Hu Yanwei was often the one at a disadvantage. She was the princess royal, and he couldn't insult the royal family or hit her back. Naturally, he was at a disadvantage.
Somewhere below, the disguised Su Zhao was also surrounded by a few people to protect him.
Su Zhao looked at the rising sun from time to time and whispered to Qin Mian, who was also disguised, "Why isn't he here yet?"
Qin Mian: "I don't know. Did he change his mind?"
Su Zhao was speechless. He couldn't be sure, but it was possible …
In the garden, there were still traces of yesterday's blood.
Linghu Qiu and Feng Entai paced back and forth in the main courtyard, looking at the sky from time to time. The sun was already high in the sky, but there was still no sign of Niu Youdao. Should they still go to the Waterfall Platform to accept the challenge?
After waiting for a while, Niu Youdao and the others came out of the inner courtyard.
Seeing the two waiting outside, Niu Youdao cupped his hands in greeting.
Linghu Qiu: "Brother, you really made us wait."
Niu Youdao was surprised. "Why did you wait for me?"
Linghu Qiu rolled her eyes. "Aren't you going to the Waterfall Platform to fight Xuan Zichun? We're waiting to see you show off your strength! "
"Hehe, so you're anxious to watch the show." Niu Youdao smiled, turned around and said to Duan Hu, who was the leader of the group, "You guys go ahead first, be careful."
"Yes!" Duan Hu answered. He carried two bags in his hands and left with ten experts from the three sects.
Did he let his subordinates leave first? Feng Entai was puzzled. "When are you leaving?"
Niu Youdao: "Of course I'm leaving now. Would the two of you like to come with me?"
"Of course!" One of them answered and the other nodded.
"Alright, then let's go together." Niu Youdao extended his hand and invited the group of people to follow him as they strode through the courtyard and out the door.
At the entrance, there were already people who had prepared their mounts. A group of people flipped over and mounted their horses. The sound of the horses' hooves was neither too fast nor too slow as they galloped through the bustling capital.
After walking for a while, Feng Entai, who was on the busy street, realized that his route was not right.
He had been in Qi Capital for quite some time and was quite familiar with the terrain here. He asked, "Little brother, this isn't the way out of the north gate. Where are you going?"
Niu Youdao: "To visit the nobles in the city, of course."
Linghu Qiu looked up at the sky again and asked, "Look at the time, and you're still in the mood to visit people? The people at the Waterfall Platform must be waiting anxiously."
Feng Entai laughed. "Little brother, are you putting on airs and purposely ignoring Xuan Zichun? If that's the case, it's a good thing we didn't go first. Otherwise, who knows how long we'd have to wait. "
Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao asked, "I say, the two of you don't really think that I'll go to the Waterfall Platform to accept the challenge, do you?"
As soon as he said that, the two of them were dumbfounded. One on the left and the other on the right, they looked at him in shock. Their faces were full of disbelief, as if they had heard wrong.
Feng Entai, who seemed to be so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, asked, "You're not going?"
Niu Youdao shrugged. "Do you think I'm that boring in your eyes? Why should I go? A random person came to challenge me, and I don't even know who that person is. Only someone sick in the head would go. "
'I'll go! What's going on? This is too illogical! ' Linghu Qiu's thoughts were a little confused. After a while, he asked, "Then why did you agree to her challenge? You used your promise to accept her challenge as an excuse to reject so many challengers. Now, the news is almost public. Everyone in the cultivation world in the capital knows about it. With your current reputation, I can guarantee that every force in the capital will go to the Waterfall Platform to take a look. If you break your promise, it'll be no different from slapping your own face in front of everyone. It'll be extremely detrimental to your reputation in the future. From now on, people will criticize you everywhere you go! "
Niu Youdao smiled. "Then, I'll tell others that Brother Linghu is my sworn brother, and that we'll go through thick and thin together! If someone criticizes me, remember to help me explain. "
Sworn brother? Feng Entai was stunned. His eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. He didn't know that the two of them had become sworn brothers, nor did he hear about it from the Heavenly Jade School.
The corner of Linghu Qiu's mouth twitched. He still couldn't believe it. "I'm being serious. Don't be so serious. Are you really not going?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's not like you don't know what I'm here for. I have important things to do. I don't have the mood to play with those people."
Linghu Qiu pointed to the north. "There must be a lot of cultivators gathered there. With so many people waiting, there might be quite a few famous people among them. You fooled them all and made them unhappy. Do you still want to work in the Qi Capital?"
Niu Youdao shrugged. "I didn't invite them. Can you blame me?"
Linghu Qiu was completely speechless. He pointed at him and nodded, looking like he was winning!
Feng Entai had something else to say. "Are you two sworn brothers?"
"Don't we look alike?" Niu Youdao, who was swaying on his horse, asked in return. He then teased, "We're not blood-related. It's understandable if we don't look alike."
Behind him, Black Peony pursed her lips and smiled.
Linghu Qiu could only helplessly nod at Feng Entai, acknowledging it. He then turned to Niu Youdao and said, "Don't change the subject. Let's get back to business. Not only did you fool so many people, those who wanted to challenge you will think that you're afraid to accept the challenge. When that time comes, I don't think you'll be able to work."
Niu Youdao sighed. "Elder Brother, you're worrying too much. There's nothing to worry about. I'll clean it up!" He waved his sleeves, as if he could clean it up with a wave of his sleeves.
It was also a quiet residence amidst the hustle and bustle. The two words' Zuo Residence 'hung on the door.
The group stopped at the entrance. Niu Youdao looked up at the plaque, then turned to ask, "Is it confirmed?"
Black Peony replied, "It's confirmed. Eldest Brother Zuo is at home."
Niu Youdao gestured with his hand. Black Peony jumped off her horse and went to the gatehouse to hand over the visiting card.
Linghu Qiu and Feng Entai looked at each other. They were not joking. They were really here to visit a noble.
Feng Entai said in a deep voice, "This is the residence of Qi Country's Grand Usher, Zuo Desong. Niu Youdao, what are you doing?"
Niu Youdao smiled but did not say anything. He jumped off his horse and waited at the entrance of the Zuo Residence …
At the Waterfall Platform, Duan Hu and the others flew up the mountain. They ignored the large crowd of onlookers and directly barged into the open space suitable for competition.
The moment they appeared, many of the people who were waiting impatiently perked up and the crowd became restless.
Hu Yanwei, who was looking down from above, was also energized.
Originally, because of Hao Qingqing's arrival, he didn't have the patience to stay here any longer. However, Heng Tianduan was not someone who could bring him here and leave as he pleased. Heng Tianduan still wanted to see what was going on, so he could only stay here.
Now that someone had entered the arena, he also wanted to meet this legendary figure who dared to kill an envoy of a country. He quickly asked, "Which one of you is Niu Youdao? Is it the leader? "
Heng Tianduan was also observing which one was Niu Youdao and could not answer him.
Hao Qingqing sized up the people who had come. When she did not see Yuan Gang, she was immediately dissatisfied. She scoffed and said, "Niu Youdao is not among the people who have come. The leader is Niu Youdao's subordinate. His name is Duan Hu. Niu Youdao is much younger than him."
The crowd at the side looked at her, including Hu Yanwei. He did not expect her to even know the name of the person who had come. He asked in surprise, "You really know Niu Youdao?"
"Hmph!" Hao Qingqing raised her chin arrogantly, looking as if she did not care to answer.
Heng Tianduan heard her and looked at Pei Niangzi. Pei Niangzi nodded slightly, indicating that Hao Qingqing was right.
Su Zhao, who was in the crowd, also asked Qin Mian in a low voice, "Is the leader Niu Youdao?"
Qin Mian was suspicious. "I have not seen him before, but I don't think so. According to the description of the people below, Niu Youdao should be very young."
At this moment, the whispers in the crowd were almost all asking the same question.
When the guests entered the arena and stood still, Duan Hu looked around coldly. He suddenly invoked his arts and shouted, "Where is Xuan Zichun?"
As the crowd looked around, a woman suddenly dashed out from a corner and landed in front of Duan Hu. She lifted her hand and took off the mask on her face. It was Xuan Zichun!
She had been waiting here for a long time, but she did not see Niu Youdao appear.
At this moment, Xuan Zichun was very excited. With so many people looking at her, she knew that success and recognition depended on today.
Even though only Duan Hu and the others had appeared and Niu Youdao was nowhere to be seen, to her, even if Niu Youdao did not appear and did not dare to accept the challenge, she would still become famous today. From now on, whenever people talked about Niu Youdao, they would inevitably mention her, Xuan Zichun. They would all say that Niu Youdao, who killed Zhuo Chao, was afraid of her and did not dare to accept the challenge!
Xuan Zichun looked around. Many people were paying attention to her. In her entire life, she had never received so much attention from so many cultivators.
This scene caused her heart to surge and her blood to boil. She asked sternly, "Why didn't Niu Youdao come? Is he afraid of death and does not dare to accept the challenge?"
Duan Hu's face was full of disdain. He threw two packages in front of her and sneered, "See for yourself!"
Xuan Zichun was puzzled. She slammed her palm in the air, and the two packages were shattered. The pieces of cloth flew like butterflies, and two heads appeared in front of everyone.
After seeing who the two heads belonged to, Xuan Zichun's face instantly turned pale. She staggered two steps back in shock.
Among the spectators, there were people who recognized them who exclaimed, "It's Xuan Zichun's two companions!"
"You …" Xuan Zichun suddenly raised her head. She did not know what the other party meant, but she sensed danger.
"Is Daoye someone you can provoke? You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You can't blame others even if you want to die! " Duan Hu sneered and made a hand gesture. Ten Gold Core Realm cultivators behind him rushed out and instantly attacked Xuan Zichun.
