The next day, noon.
In front of the window, there was a pot of tea and a chair. The person sitting on the chair had his eyes closed and was quiet.
The neighboring tables were piled high with food. Silver occupied all of it, enjoying it and contentment.
Food seemed to be able to temporarily divert her attention away from Niu Youdao.
Guan Fangyi entered the house and glanced at Silver, who was eating non-stop. She walked to the window and leaned her back against it. She stared at Niu Youdao, who was quietly closing his eyes. Her heart suddenly ached for this man.
After coming into contact with the Shanghai Sect, the more she understood how this guy got to where he was today, the more she understood how difficult it was for him to lead a group of people to where they were today. Being heartless did not mean that he was heartless. When he made choices, he showed his true colors. Behind him, he was panting.
Niu Youdao did not open his eyes but he knew who it was. He said slowly, "What are you looking at? I'm not as good looking as you. "
Guan Fangyi knew that this guy was teasing her again. But words that sounded nice made her happy. She smiled sweetly and walked behind him. She leaned against the back of the chair and whispered in his ear, "I'm leaving. I'll listen to your arrangements and leave quietly. There shouldn't be any problems."
Niu Youdao nodded and opened his eyes. He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and drank slowly.
She twisted her waist and the contours of her waist and butt were beautiful and alluring. She tilted her head and looked at his side profile. "Tang Yi is quite good looking. She's young and beautiful. Don't you feel bad for breaking up like this?"
Niu Youdao: "Why do I feel that you're prettier than her?"
"Of course." Guan Fangyi said smugly.
Niu Youdao: "So, it's enough to have you."
"Haha …" Guan Fangyi was overjoyed and hit his shoulder flirtatiously. "Stop it. Do you think I can't tell? Breaking up or not, it's still your problem. Also, what does your business have to do with me? Why are you trying to ruin my reputation? "
Niu Youdao: "Are there any men who have ruined your reputation? Do you need me to ruin your reputation? "
Guan Fangyi: "But you don't need to add bricks and tiles, right? No, you have to compensate me for this. "
"I'm already in your hands. Isn't that enough?"
"Tsk, who's in whose hands? I'm your servant girl running errands for you every day. You're my boss, okay?"
"My hands are clean. Everyone can see it. Whatever compensation you want, you can take it yourself."
"Poor, so poor! There's only one person left. How about this, you give yourself to me as compensation? "
"I don't think that's appropriate. You're already so old …"
"Die!"
Guan Fangyi immediately turned hostile and suddenly slapped the teacup in Niu Youdao's hand. The tea splashed all over Niu Youdao's face.
Niu Youdao sat in a daze, speechless, tea leaves hanging on his face, water droplets dripping from his face.
If anyone teased Guan Fangyi about her age, she would definitely get angry.
The flirting and chatting was over in an instant.
Putting down the teacup, Niu Youdao wiped his face and stood up. He shook his clothes as if nothing had happened. "The illusion world is not closed yet. There should be many distinguished guests here recently. It's a good time to make friends. Xu Laoliu is knowledgeable. Let him go out more. "
"I'm old. I can't walk anymore."
"I'm not asking you to leave. It's fine as long as Xu Laoliu can walk."
"I'm not leaving!"
"You're really not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving!" Guan Fangyi glared at him angrily.
Niu Youdao didn't argue with her. Bickering was one thing, but he never gave in to her bad habits. The more she got angry, the more he convinced her with reason.
Nodding slightly, he lifted his sleeves and flicked his fingers. A gust of wind hit the wall at the side, making a "pop" sound.
Hearing the signal, Yuan Gang arrived quickly. He opened the door and entered. Noticing the tea stains on Niu Youdao's body, he glared at Guan Fangyi coldly.
Guan Fangyi immediately turned her head to the side, unhappy.
"Pack up, we're leaving," Niu Youdao ordered.
"Where are we going?" Yuan Gang asked.
"Since I'm at the Wan Shou Faction, how can I just pass by and not enter? I'm paying a visit to the host. I'm tired of this inn, I'm going to see if I can find a better place to stay. "
Yuan Gang nodded and left.
Guan Fangyi was stunned. She turned around and asked, "Wan Shou Faction? Why do you suddenly want to go to the Wan Shou Faction? "
She couldn't keep up with his train of thought. He had been here for so long, but he didn't show any signs of wanting to go to the Wan Shou Faction.
Based on her understanding of him, he wasn't an impulsive young man. She didn't believe that this was a decision he made on a whim. He wasn't a person who tried his luck. In his words, he never believed in luck.
"The Bei Zhou people are still trying to find trouble with us. I think it's time to settle the score."
Niu Youdao said as he took off his coat. The water on his coat would dry quickly, but the tea stains would leave marks on his coat. He had to change.
In the past, he had to worry about the two prefectures. There were many things he wanted to do, but he didn't have the confidence to do so. Things were different now. With the Nan Zhou behind him, he had the confidence. He had to settle things one by one in order to face the bigger picture. The Shanghai Sect was one of them.
The reason why he left when the situation in the Nan Zhou was settled was because he knew that hiding in the Nan Zhou and competing with the Heavenly Jade Sect would only give him an advantage. The huge gap in strength between them wouldn't change anything.
Even if he won for a while, it would only give him some breathing space. The biggest winner would still be the Heavenly Jade Sect. He didn't dare to fight them head-on.
At this point, he knew that the competition between him and the Heavenly Jade Sect was inevitable. He would have to face the second round of confrontation sooner or later.
If he continued to hide in the Nan Zhou and compete with the Heavenly Jade Sect, it would only make him lose the advantage he had. Even if he went bankrupt, he wouldn't be able to hurt the Heavenly Jade Sect. The final result was obvious.
This wasn't the result he wanted to see. Therefore, he decisively left the Nan Zhou, jumped out of the Heavenly Jade Sect's sphere of influence, and eliminated some of the advantages the Heavenly Jade Sect had.
He knew that in the Nan Zhou, within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Jade Sect, he would never be able to seize resources that could compete with the Heavenly Jade Sect. Only by jumping out could he seize the capital to compete with the Heavenly Jade Sect again.
This was the strategic choice he had made after careful consideration!
In order to stabilize the Heavenly Jade Sect, even if he won in the arm wrestling, he didn't hesitate to continue to offer a huge amount of wine to the other party.
Guan Fangyi sneered. "It seems that you and that Shao Pingbo are really at loggerheads."
"If you won't go, then I'll go. Yin 'er, wipe your hands and mouth. Let's go. " Niu Youdao didn't want to argue with her. He changed his clothes and walked to the side. He picked up his sword from the sword rack and used it as a walking stick.
Guan Fangyi left in the end. Follow me? Throw a tantrum and refuse to leave? What's the point of staying here?
When the group exited the city, Yuan Fang ran to the city gate eagerly, showed the inn's proof of entry, and collected his money.
The Myriad Beasts Sect had agreed that as an apology for canceling the Spiritual Beasts Gathering, anyone who came to participate in the Spiritual Beasts Gathering would receive a hundred gold coins when they left the city.
There were quite a few people here, so how could Yuan Fang miss this opportunity? He didn't have the ability to earn big money like Niu Youdao, but the opportunity to earn small amounts of money couldn't escape his discerning eyes, so he pocketed all of it. No one haggled with him. They touched the money and were satisfied, even though it wasn't even worth as much as what Niu Youdao had spilled out of his fingers …
The mountain range was continuous, with strange peaks and strange sceneries, waterfalls, and clear waters. It was the atmosphere of a great sect.
Outside the mountain gate, Niu Youdao and the others were waiting for the Myriad Beasts Sect's disciple to report the news.
He looked at the scenery around him and waited for a while. Then, the disciple who went to report the news came back with an elder from the Wan Shou Clan.
The Elder's name was Chou Shan, he had soft skin, and he didn't look too old.
After reporting his name, Niu Youdao and the others who had been paying attention to the Myriad Beasts Sect, knew that he was a newly promoted Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
After exchanging pleasantries and confirming his identity, Chou Shan apologized, "I'm really sorry, the Sect Leader is currently accompanying a few important guests and can't leave, so he asked me to come and receive you. Brother Niu, if you don't mind the Myriad Beasts Sect's poor condition, why don't you stay in the guest house for the time being, the Sect Leader will visit you when he has time. "
When Niu Youdao came, he immediately reported his identity and also made it clear that he wanted to meet the Sect Leader of the Myriad Beasts Sect, Xi Hai Tang.
With his current background, it wasn't too much to ask for a meeting with Xi Hai Tang.
Of course, if he was still in Green Mountain County, the Myriad Beasts Sect might not even bother with him, let alone meet the Sect Leader.
Currently, he didn't have the qualifications for Xi Hai Tang to come and receive him personally. For an Elder to come and receive him personally, the Sect Leader was already giving him enough face.
Niu Youdao quickly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare to trouble the Sect Leader to come and see me, Sect Leader can just let me know when he has time. The guest follows the host, I will listen to Elder Chou's arrangements. "
"Please!" Chou Shan extended his hand and invited him in.
The group entered the mountain, Chou Shan accompanied them as they chatted and joked along the way, he gave a brief introduction of the surroundings.
With Chou Shan's status, he might not be interested in Niu Youdao, the reason why he was so polite was because of Niu Youdao's influence in the Southern Prefecture.
You can say that the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect can avoid Green Mountain County and Guang Yi County, but can you guarantee that the disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect can avoid Southern Prefecture? Such a huge territory, it's hard to avoid. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory, such a huge sect has many disciples running around, the polite reception was also for the convenience of the disciples in the future.
With the wealth of the Myriad Beasts Sect, it wasn't a big deal to entertain them.
It could also be said that Niu Youdao's painstaking efforts all these years finally paid off, he gained the right to speak in the Southern Prefecture, he had value, outsiders would naturally look up to him, that's how reality is. On the other hand, it wasn't the power of the Myriad Beasts Sect, there were so many cultivators in the world, if they were to entertain all of them, the Myriad Beasts Sect wouldn't be able to handle them all.
As they chatted, Chou Shan probed, "Brother Niu, why are you here to see the Sect Leader?"
He also wanted to help the Sect Leader find out, if there was anything, he wanted to know first, so that the Sect Leader could decide whether or not to meet him.
This was also the intention of the Xi Hai Sect, so he was a little surprised why the Sect Leader would pay so much attention to this person, just casually coming out to greet him was already giving him face, what else did he want? Going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
The fact that Chao Jing almost did something to Tang Yi, the Xi Hai Sect did not let anyone else know, he only scolded Chao Jing behind his back, because Chao Jing was his junior, and also his trusted subordinate. According to the rumors about the relationship between Niu Youdao and Tang Yi, the Xi Hai Sect was a little suspicious, this person wouldn't have the guts to come all the way to the Myriad Beasts Sect to cause trouble, right?
Looking around at the beautiful scenery, Niu Youdao smiled and said, "It's purely because I've long heard of the Sect Leader's elegance, I've specially come to pay my respects, there's no other reason, I'm really presumptuous."
