The room was quiet. Niu Youdao closed his eyes and stood alone with his sword. No one knew what he was thinking.
Guan Fangyi returned and reported, "They've left. I've asked Old Six to find out where they're staying."
Niu Youdao hummed in acknowledgment.
Guan Fangyi walked to his front. Seeing his closed eyes and silent look, she could not help but tease, "Looks like you can't let go of your old lover. You don't feel good seeing your old lover."
Niu Youdao opened his eyes and chuckled, "Why do I feel like your words are full of jealousy?"
Guan Fangyi was speechless. Her eyes gradually widened and she suddenly scoffed, "Jealousy? Jealous for you? Who do you think you are? There are at least eight hundred men who have fallen for me. Do you think I'm jealous for you? What a joke! I say, Daoye, I couldn't tell that you're quite a narcissist. "
Niu Youdao seemed to be relieved. "I wanted to marry you, but I was thinking too much. Never mind." He turned and walked to the side, putting down his sword.
"…" Guan Fangyi was speechless for a while. She looked around and grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao ducked his head and dodged it. With a crisp clatter, the cup hit the wall and broke into pieces.
"What a hypocritical bastard …" Guan Fangyi cursed loudly.
In the next few days, Niu Youdao did not go out. Most of the people who followed him thought that he was hiding from Tang Yi. Only Yuan Gang knew that Daoye did not dare to act rashly before he figured out some things. Otherwise, he could easily put himself in danger …
In a room of an inn, Lu Shengzhong, who was sitting in front of a table, slowly opened the secret letter in his hands. After reading the contents, he could not help but feel bitter.
The letter was a reply from Shao Pingbo after he sent the news back to Bei Zhou. He suspected that Shao Pingbo and Niu Youdao were the same kind of people.
Just like how Niu Youdao had instructed him in the past, Shao Pingbo also allowed him to do as he pleased. It would be best if he could get rid of Niu Youdao. In short, he wanted to make Niu Youdao suffer.
What they didn't know was that Shao Pingbo had no other choice. He didn't have the power of the cultivation world to deal with Niu Youdao. The Great Zen Mountain wouldn't help him. In reality, just like Niu Youdao, under the protection of Great Zen Mountain, Niu Youdao couldn't do anything to Shao Pingbo.
Lu Shengzhong crushed the secret letter in his hand and walked to the window. He pushed it open and gazed at Wanxiang City with his hands behind his back. He felt melancholic.
To be honest, he really didn't want to provoke Niu Youdao. That kind of person was too dangerous. Moreover, Niu Youdao had a group of people by his side. He was just alone.
However, he had no other choice. The taste of the Bitter Divine Pill was really unbearable. The antidote was originally in the hands of that woman, but now it was in Shao Pingbo's hands. He didn't dare to disobey Shao Pingbo.
His gaze fell on a towering statue. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. After pondering for a while, he seemed to have made a decision. He closed the window and turned to leave …
A map was placed in front of him. It was obtained by Yuan Gang. Niu Youdao stood in front of the table and looked at it. Both of them had the same habit. Wherever they went, they would first understand the local terrain.
Yuan Gang knocked on the door and entered. He closed the door and walked to Niu Youdao's side. He said in a low voice, "There's a reply from Bei Zhou. About half a month ago, the Shanghai Sect suddenly bid farewell to Shao Pingbo. The Shanghai Sect has officially left Bei Zhou and collectively left Bei Zhou."
Niu Youdao stared at the map and slowly focused his gaze. "Shao Pingbo won't let the Shanghai Sect get away so easily."
The two of them had worked together for many years. Yuan Gang naturally knew how to deal with things that Niu Youdao had instructed. He replied, "I've asked. They mentioned something. A Golden Howler suddenly broke into the military camp outside Bei Zhou City and injured people."
"Golden Howler!" Niu Youdao raised his eyelids. It was rumored that there was only one Golden Howler in this world. Moreover, it was related to the Shanghai Sect. It wasn't difficult to guess what was going on. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Zhao Xiongge … No wonder!"
He now understood why Shao Pingbo let them go. Someone that Shao Pingbo couldn't afford to offend had made a move.
"Map!" Niu Youdao turned around and reminded.
Yuan Gang quickly walked to the table at the side and took out a map. He hung it on the wall and opened it.
Niu Youdao walked to the map on the wall. His gaze fell on Bei Zhou. He went all the way to the east and fixed his gaze on Wanxiang City. Slowly, he deduced the journey time and said, "They didn't have time to wander around. They went straight to Wanxiang City. They're coming for me."
Yuan Gang said coldly, "Daoye, I'm afraid the people around us aren't too clean."
Niu Youdao's expression was calm. He already had his suspicions when they were stopped by the Shanghai Sect as soon as they arrived at Wanxiang City. This time, he just got confirmation. He tilted his head and looked at Yuan Gang meaningfully.
Yuan Gang understood and nodded silently.
Looking up at the roof, Niu Youdao had a headache. It wasn't because of the Shanghai Sect's entanglement, but because Zhao Xiongge had actually made a move!
It was a small matter in a corner, fleeting and uneventful. Others might not pay attention to it, and they might not even notice it. However, as the people involved, he and Shao Pingbo both knew that Zhao Xiongge's mount would not run to the military camp outside Bei Zhou City to hurt people for no reason.
It was a warning to Shao Pingbo, but it was also a reminder to Niu Youdao. Zhao Xiongge was obviously standing behind the Shanghai Sect. If the two of them were brave enough, they could try it out!
Therefore, Shao Pingbo immediately gave in and obediently let them go!
Then, it was Niu Youdao's turn to have a headache. The Shanghai Sect coming to find him seemed to be Zhao Xiongge's intention. He could ignore the Shanghai Sect's intention, but he could not afford to offend Zhao Xiongge!
He had never interacted with Zhao Xiongge before, so he did not know what Zhao Xiongge's temper was like. However, his reputation was there for all to see. He was an unrestrained lunatic who was somewhere between good and evil!
It was not that he did not want to give Zhao Xiongge face, but he did not want to provoke the Shanghai Sect.
The key was that the Shanghai Sect could mix with anyone except Shang Chaozong. He could ignore the Shanghai Sect, so why did he try his best to distance himself from the Shanghai Sect? If he got involved with the Shanghai Sect, Shao Pingbo would probably be the first to make a fuss about it.
Zhao Xiongge was from the Shanghai Sect. He did not believe that Zhao Xiongge did not know the stakes.
Wasn't Zhao Xiongge looking for trouble by doing this?
He raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing his real face. Yuan Gang, who was beside him, was a little surprised.
Niu Youdao explained casually, "Shao Pingbo will pay attention to the whereabouts of the Shanghai Sect. I'm afraid he already knows that I'm here, so there's no need to hide anymore. It's easier for others to take advantage of him."
While he was talking, Yuan Fang knocked on the door and came in to report, "Daoye, the Shanghai Sect is here again."
Niu Youdao replied with a "hmm".
Yuan Fang was a little surprised. These days, Tang Yi and the others came to visit him every day, but this person had been avoiding them. Today, he actually agreed.
After Yuan Fang left, Niu Youdao winked at Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang did not say anything and turned to leave.
After a while, Guan Fangyi did not arrive, but the laughter came first. This woman actually accompanied Tang Yi and the others.
The guests were still the same three, Tang Yi, Luo Yuangong, and Su Po.
They entered the door and saw Niu Youdao's real face. Guan Fangyi, who was chatting and laughing with Tang Yi, was a little surprised. The three people from the Shanghai Sect could not help but look at him.
He was still the same person, but he had really changed compared to the young man in the Peach Blossom Spring. Not to mention at the Peach Blossom Spring, compared to when they met by chance at the pier a few years ago, his appearance was really mature, and he had really become a man with a good temperament.
Tang Yi was a little absent-minded. In her mind flashed the first time she saw his young face when she lifted her red veil on the wedding night. He had really grown up. This person was the husband she had bowed to before …
Niu Youdao felt uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Ahem!" Guan Fangyi coughed twice and walked to Niu Youdao's side. She pretended to raise her hand to help Niu Youdao straighten his clothes and help him pat the dust off. She acted as if they were very close, but she paid attention to Tang Yi's reaction from the corner of her eyes.
Tang Yi looked down and deliberately avoided this scene. Her mood was a little complicated.
Niu Youdao shook off Guan Fangyi's hand and glared at her. He knew that this woman did it on purpose.
Guan Fangyi held back her smile and stopped her hand.
"Why don't I see Elder Tang?" Niu Youdao asked coldly.
Tang Yi said, "I need someone to stay …"
Niu Youdao raised his hand and interrupted her. "You don't have to say such hypocritical words. If Elder Tang is not willing, why should I force him? I want to see his sincerity first. If he is not sincere, is there a need to talk?"
His words made the Shangqing Sect speechless. He was right, so they were easily chased away.
After sending off the guests, Guan Fangyi came back. When she saw Niu Youdao, she snorted. "What a fickle and heartless Langjun. He's so cruel. He doesn't know how to be tender to the fairer sex at all."
When this woman was acting shamelessly, Niu Youdao did not want to talk to her and turned to the side.
Then, Yuan Gang knocked on the door and entered. He called out to them at the door. "Daoye, I've asked the innkeeper to prepare some fresh food. Have a taste."
Niu Youdao said to Guan Fangyi, "Since there's something fresh, let's ask everyone to have a taste."
Thus, the six of them gathered at a table in a private room. Only Thirteenth Brother stayed behind to guard the golden wing.
While they were enjoying the food, Niu Youdao suddenly said, "Monkey, send a message to the three sects and ask them to send a hundred elite disciples here in secret."
Yuan Gang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Guan Fangyi could not help but ask, "What for?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's troublesome to be pestered by the Shangqing Sect. It's better to get rid of them once and for all!"
Almost everyone raised their heads in astonishment.
Guan Fangyi was shocked. She said in disbelief, "You want to kill the Shangqing Sect?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "How did King Ning and Shang Jianbo fall? I can't get involved with the Shangqing Sect anymore. They were the ones who wanted to court death. I couldn't persuade them to retreat. They can't blame anyone else! "
Guan Fangyi frowned. "There's no need. Why don't I help you talk to them and let them retreat?"
