Tang Yi stared at him for a moment and said calmly, "All these years, I am indebted to the Eldest Young Master's care and shelter. The Shang Qing Sect is truly shameful. If this continues, I won't have the face to face the Shang Qing Sect's ancestors and I will be ashamed to face Eldest Young Master …"
She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually a little nervous. After all these years, as a cultivator, she was actually a little afraid of Shao Pingbo, a mortal. She had been worrying about what to do if Shao Pingbo didn't let them go.
Shao Pingbo, whose eyes were flickering, immediately realized what she wanted to say. He immediately interrupted her with a smile, "As long as Shanghai Sect continues to stay, it will be the best reward for me. At present, Shanghai Sect is wronged, but I have a long-term plan. In the future, there will be many things that I need Shanghai Sect to help. At that time, Shanghai Sect will not lack cultivation resources. I promise you! "
Although the Great Zen Mountain played a part in Shanghai Sect's current situation, it was also because of his pressure. He had been quietly and slowly forcing the Shanghai Sect into a desperate situation, intending to force Tang Yi to compromise and marry him. However, Shanghai Sect couldn't feel his malice and only thought it was because of the Great Zen Mountain. He also wouldn't show his malice to make Tang Yi feel disgusted, so he let the Great Zen Mountain take all the blame.
He wouldn't let Tang Yi and Shanghai Sect leave. He was sure that Zhao Xiongge still had feelings for this place.
Tang Yi was silent for a moment. If she heard this earlier, she would've considered the fact that the Shang Qing Sect didn't know what to do next. Perhaps she would've asked if there were any future plans that would benefit the Shang Qing Sect. However, Zhao Xiongge deliberately showed up and pointed the way for them to go. She had made up her mind that she would no longer consider staying and dragging her feet to wait for the unknown future.
Tang Yi declined tactfully, "I appreciate Eldest Gongzi's kindness, but this is the decision of the entire Shangqing Sect. I'm here to bid farewell to Eldest Gongzi."
Shao Pingbo did not continue the topic of farewell. He smiled and said, "Since this is the decision of everyone in your sect, allow me to go and meet the masters. Leave the matter of persuading them to me. I won't make things difficult for you." He stood up and raised his hand to signal Tang Yi to return to the Shangqing Sect with him.
Tang Yi also stood up, a little embarrassed, "Eldest Young Master …"
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone else addressed him as "Eldest Young Master". Shao Sansheng hurried over and stood outside the pavilion. He nodded.
"Just a moment." Shao Pingbo replied politely. He knew that Shao Sansheng would not disturb him for no reason under such circumstances. He turned around and left under Tang Yi's gaze.
Shao Sansheng moved to the side and whispered something into Shao Pingbo's ear.
Hearing the situation, Shao Pingbo's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously glanced at the graceful figure in the pavilion, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
What Shao Sansheng reported was an urgent report from the garrison outside the city. It said that a soldier provoked a ferocious beast in the nearby forest. The beast chased into the military camp and was invulnerable. It injured many soldiers. The disciples of the Great Zen Mountain who rushed over to deal with it only chased the beast away. They did not dare to do anything to the beast. They only said that the beast was called Golden Growler and that the master behind it was extraordinary, so they should not offend it!
Hearing the Golden Growler, Shao Pingbo immediately thought of someone. He paid attention to Zhao Xiongge, so how could he not know that Zhao Xiongge's mount was Golden Growler …
At the east gate of the Northern Prefecture, a group of hundreds of people left the city and galloped away.
The Shangqing Sect left. They finally left the Northern Prefecture that they had been trapped in for several years.
Behind the half-covered window of the attic at the top of the city wall, Shao Pingbo, who was dragging a cloak, silently watched the group of people leaving.
It wasn't that he wanted to let the Shangqing Sect leave, and it wasn't that he couldn't keep Tang Yi. It was that he didn't dare to not let them go, and he didn't dare to keep them.
Tang Yi said goodbye in the Provincial Governor's Office, and then Zhao Xiongge's Golden Growler appeared outside the city. Was this a coincidence? The Golden Growler charged into the military camp and injured his subordinates. This was definitely not a good thing. He felt the warning behind this.
Zhao Xiongge was not Tang Yi, and he was not someone that he could handle with his current strength. Even the Great Zen Mountain did not dare to provoke Zhao Xiongge. His years of planning instantly turned to nothing in the face of absolute strength.
"Cough cough …" Shao Pingbo, who was looking into the distance, suddenly coughed. He clenched his fists by his mouth.
Shao Sansheng immediately went forward and patted his back.
After breathing evenly, Shao Pingbo, who was coughing with his hunched back, straightened his back and said, "Let Lu Shengzhong watch and see where the Shangqing Sect is going."
He was curious where the Shanghai Sect could go, and where could Zhao Xiongge, with his awkward identity, help the Shanghai Sect go?
"Okay." Shao Sansheng agreed.
On the official road, there was a trail of smoke and dust. Tang Yi, who was leading the way, felt very emotional. She finally left this helpless place. It was as if she had escaped from a swamp. The road ahead was not clear, but she felt relaxed.
She had also heard about the attack of the military camp outside the city. After knowing it was the Golden Growler, she finally understood why Shao Pingbo's attitude suddenly changed yesterday. He did not force them to stay.
This made her a little excited. The once most outstanding disciple of the Shangqing Sect did not give up on the Shanghai Sect. He did not ignore the Shanghai Sect when it was in a desperate situation.
That year, when the Celestial Retaining Sect was about to be annihilated, the Golden Growler appeared and repelled the enemy!
Now, he used the Golden Growler to lead her to see him and show her the way!
Then, he let the Golden Growler appear to frighten Shao Pingbo!
Realizing that the Shanghai Sect had such a powerful backer, Tang Yi was filled with courage. She had the confidence to face all difficulties and hardships!
…
On the misty mountain, a group of people flew to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain. They were the higher-ups of the Heavenly Jade Sect, led by the Sect Leader Peng Youzai.
There were a few carriages on the road. The carriages were filled with boxes.
Feng Entai, who had escorted the carriages, opened one of the boxes. Inside, there was a neatly arranged white porcelain wine bottle. Peng Youzai reached out and took a bottle. He opened the bottle cap and sniffed. The fragrance of the wine was fragrant.
Feng Entai said, "I've checked it. There's no problem." He took out a letter from his bosom.
Peng Youzai put the wine bottle back and opened the letter.
The wine was brewed by Niu Youdao. He had sent a letter to Feng Entai, asking him to pick it up at the designated place. The letter was also from Niu Youdao. Feng Entai received the letter when he arrived at the designated place to pick up the goods.
There were only a few words in the letter: "The rules remain the same. I hope nothing happens!"
Peng Youzai frowned slightly. He could see the hidden threat in the letter. It seemed to be warning the Heavenly Jade Sect to live in peace. This made Peng Youzai a little angry. However, he still couldn't figure out how Niu Youdao could influence the Myriad Heavenly Abode. There were many other factors that prevented the Heavenly Jade Sect from acting recklessly against Niu Youdao.
At the same time, the so-called "the rules remain the same" and the wine in front of him proved that Niu Youdao had made a compromise. The profits from the wine would continue to be supplied to the Heavenly Jade Sect, lest the Heavenly Jade Sect go around looking for him and cause trouble.
Peng Youzai crushed the letter into dust. He tilted his head and gestured to an Elder with the wine in front of him. "Arrange for the sale!"
The group turned and returned to the mountain.
Just as the group returned to the main hall at the top of the mountain, a disciple presented a translated letter. Peng Youzai took it and read it. He frowned again and then passed the letter to someone else.
After the Elders read the letter, they were all shocked. The Myriad Heavenly Abode's Elder Li Wuhua had married Hai Ruyue!
…
In the Southern Province Provincial Governor's Mansion, Shang Chaozong, who was sitting behind a long table, also received the same news.
"What's going on?" Shang Chaozong was puzzled after hearing the report. He asked, "What's the reaction of the Gold Province?"
Lan Ruoting said, "In the past, it might have caused some disturbance and dissatisfaction among the Xiao faction. However, after the Myriad Heavenly Abode's previous actions, they either exchanged or killed some of their people, causing the Xiao faction to feel insecure. Hai Ruyue's remarriage actually gained the support of the Xiao faction because it protected the Xiao faction. This woman, Hai Ruyue, is really amazing. She used this opportunity to turn the Xiao faction into a Sea faction. I'm afraid that the Gold Province will no longer have a Xiao clan in the future. "
"Sigh!" Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, sighed. "This woman is also a pitiful person. I still remember how she hid alone in the mountains during the heavy snow and almost froze to death! Who would have thought that a naive woman would eventually walk on the path of power! "
Regarding this matter, Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing, who was standing at the side, could only remain silent. Hai Ruyue's relationship with her father was something that the siblings could not say.
A guard came in and reported, "Prince, Auntie Li has brought two children here."
This so-called Auntie Li's name was Li Honghua, Luo An's wife. She had been living in seclusion in that secret mountain village and was brought here this time.
Meng Shanming pursed his lips.
Shang Chaozong immediately said, "Quickly invite them in!"
A moment later, a woman dressed simply in village clothes came in with two youngsters of similar age. When they saw Shang Chaozong, they immediately greeted him.
Shang Chaozong rushed over and stopped them. "Auntie Li, there's no need to be so courteous!"
Li Honghua had never seen Shang Chaozong before, so she was a little nervous. Finally, Meng Shanming spoke, "Honghua, just listen to Prince. Honghua, this time, I asked you to bring the children here because I wanted to ask you what your plans are for the children's future. "
Speaking of this, Li Honghua's eyes instantly became moist. She naturally knew that Luo An had died in battle. Although the most difficult period had passed, she could not help but feel sad when she thought of it now.
The two youngsters were already wiping their tears.
In front of Shang Chaozong, Li Honghua did not know how to answer.
Finally, Meng Shanming made the decision again. "How about this? I have watched the two children grow up, and I know their temperaments. I will help Luo An make the decision. The eldest will follow me, and the second will be Lan Ruoting's disciple. From now on, he will follow Xiao Lan. What do you think?"
Li Honghua nodded and pulled the two children. The three of them knelt in front of Meng Shanming and thanked him.
Meng Shanming did not stop them. He only gestured to the kneeling second child and pointed to Lan Ruoting. "Go and be his disciple!"
Second Brother got up and cautiously walked in front of the unfamiliar Lan Ruoting. Then, he knelt down with a thud …
After the three of them were taken away to rest, Shang Chaozong, who had been silent for a while, thought of Niu Youdao.
The group of monks and some cultivators from Nanshan Temple had suddenly appeared in the hidden mountain village. It was Niu Youdao who had arranged for them to go there, but Niu Youdao and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Thinking of this, Shang Chaozong sighed. "Daoye has yet to show himself. I wonder where he is."
