Letting them do as they see fit was actually a tacit agreement.
The reason for the change in attitude was very simple. Although Chen Tingxiu and Niu Youdao did not give any benefits, and they might not give any benefits in the future, Chen Tingxiu made a promise, while Niu Youdao did not say anything. In a situation where they were not familiar with each other, this was a subtle difference.
"Good! I know what to do. "Chou Shan responded, cupped his hands, and left.
West Sea Hall suddenly added, "That Niu Youdao is quite interesting. I heard that he's alone in the lands of the Southern Province, but he's still able to take on the entire Heavenly Jade School. Didn't he join in the fun in Qi Capital? I heard that even the Heavenly Fire Cult was snubbed. "
Chou Shan froze for a moment, then immediately understood the Sect Leader's meaning, reminding him not to go overboard. Chou Shan nodded and said, "Sect Leader, don't worry. There is no enmity between us. There is no need for us to offend anyone."
Xi Haitang looked at his feet and did not say anything. He clasped his hands behind his back, turned around, and left.
Chou Shan watched him leave, then turned around and flew away.
In a pavilion in the mountain, the disciple who went to the guest house of Xiao Yao Palace to temporarily rest was still waiting. When Chou Shan flew over, he hastily saluted.
Chou Shan raised his hand, indicating that he did not need to be overly courteous. "How about this, go and report that Elder Chen Tingxiu of the Heavenly Jade School of the Yan Clan of the Southern Prefecture is here to see the Sect Leader of Xiao Yao Palace."
"Yes!" The disciple received the order and left.
Chou Shan also waited in the pavilion with his hands behind his back …
In the courtyard of the pavilion, there was a clear stream of running water that was drawn from the canals in the mountain. The water flowed in the courtyard, and leaves that were brought from the mountain occasionally floated in the water.
This guest house was not only elegant and luxurious, but its size was also incomparable to the small courtyard that Niu Youdao lived in. It was used to entertain distinguished guests.
The Sovereign of Xiao Yao Palace, Long Xiu, was naturally a distinguished guest. He was dressed in an elegant long gown and was half-lying on a short couch in the pavilion with one leg bent. He held an ancient book and placed it on his knee, reading it. Occasionally, he would turn a page slowly. His charm was restrained, and he seemed dignified.
One of Long Xiu's disciples, her name was Yi Shu. She was a female disciple with a dignified and beautiful appearance. She quickly walked over and cupped her fists in front of her chest. "Master, a disciple of the Wan Shou Clan reported that Chen Tingxiu, an elder of the Heavenly Jade Clan from the Southern Prefecture, is here to see you."
"Chen Tingxiu …" Long Xiu pondered for a moment and remembered that he had seen this name on the list of the Heavenly Jade Sect's main personnel. He then raised his eyes and asked, "What's going on in the South Prefecture? Why are they all here?"
Yi Shu said, "I do not know."
Long Xiu asked, "Did he say anything?"
Yi Shu replied, "He didn't say. He only said that he wanted to see you."
Long Xiu said calmly, "The Heavenly Jade Clan is different. They control the Southern Prefecture. If anyone wants to see me, I will have to see them, right?"
Yi Shu raised her head and glanced at him. She could hear the displeasure in her master's words. She waited quietly for his explanation.
However, Long Xiu seemed to be engrossed in his book and didn't respond.
Yi Shu understood what he meant. She didn't want to see him. She took a few steps back, turned around, and left quickly.
Long Xiu agreed to see Niu Youdao because Niu Youdao's actions had attracted his attention. He heard that Niu Youdao was still very young. Long Xiu wanted to see what kind of young man he was and why he would come looking for him.
To put it bluntly, Niu Youdao had already piqued his interest, especially after the Heavenly Jade School had asked for his tacit permission to attack the Southern Province. The Heavenly Jade School had expended all their efforts, but to no avail. They had actually been stopped by Niu Youdao.
As for the Heavenly Jade Clan, what was it to him? Even Peng Youzai had to be respectful in front of him. He didn't care about the Elders. Was he someone Chen Tingxiu could see whenever she wanted?
To him, Niu Youdao's visit and Chen Tingxiu's visit were two completely different things.
In his eyes, Niu Youdao was too weak. There was no point in putting on airs in front of Niu Youdao. Not putting on airs in front of the weak was the greatest form of arrogance.
Putting on airs in front of the Heavenly Jade Clan was a necessary warning. He didn't want them to get carried away and think that they were so great just because they occupied the Southern Prefecture …
"Not seeing him?"
Inside the pavilion, Chou Shan turned around. He was a little surprised. What did Long Xiu mean? He would rather see Niu Youdao than Chen Tingxiu. Was the Heavenly Jade Clan not stronger than Niu Youdao?
The messenger disciple replied, "Yes, not seeing him."
Chou Shan asked, "Did he say why?"
The messenger disciple replied, "This disciple also asked. He said he didn't have a reason. Long Xiu's disciple was very arrogant. He even asked this disciple not to be long-winded. This disciple didn't ask much and came back. "He looked up at the disciple who was criticizing Long Xiu. It seemed like he was complaining.
"Strange …" Chou Shan muttered to himself. Then, he said, "How about this. Wait here first. Don't inform Niu Youdao's side for the time being."
"Yes!" The messenger disciple responded.
Chou Shan's figure flashed out of the pavilion and flew to the other side of the mountain where the lights were waning …
The group of people from the Heavenly Jade Clan enjoyed similar treatment as Niu Youdao. They were also given a small courtyard.
Chen Tingxiu wasn't in the courtyard. He was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting. Suddenly, he tilted his head to look.
Chou Shan had already landed on the ground. Chen Tingxiu immediately put on a smiling face and walked forward. He cupped his fists and said, "If there's anything, just instruct the disciple. How could I dare to trouble Brother Chou to run around personally?"
Chou Shan waved his hand. "It's alright. I say, Brother Chen, did you offend Long Xiu? "
Chen Tingxiu was shocked. "Brother Chou, what do you mean? I haven't seen him yet. How could I have offended him? Did something happen? Or did that Niu Youdao say something bad about me? That can't be right. Does Niu Youdao know that I'm here? Could it be that he said something bad about the Heavenly Jade Clan? "
Chou Shan pondered and shook his head. "You're thinking too much. I've already stopped Niu Youdao's side for the time being. He hasn't met Long Xiu yet. How could he have the chance to say something bad about you? But it's a little strange. Long Xiu agreed to meet Niu Youdao, but he's not willing to meet you. "
Chen Tingxiu quickly asked, "Why not?"
Chou Shan was puzzled. "I say, Brother Chen, you know your own business. You're asking me, but who should I ask? Long Xiu didn't give a reason, but he said he didn't want to meet you. He even told the disciple to shut up. I thought you offended him. "
"…" Chen Tingxiu's expression was interesting. He looked a little embarrassed. What's going on? Long Xiu would rather meet Niu Youdao than him. It made him, an Elder of the Heavenly Jade Clan, seem inferior to Niu Youdao. It also made him lose face in the Wan Shou Clan.
However, he couldn't do anything about it. Would he still dare to question Long Xiu? He didn't have the guts to do so.
Even the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Jade Clan, Peng Youdao, wouldn't dare to do so.
"Brother Chen, I don't know what's going on between you two. I've tried my best. You should rest early. Maybe the Sect Leader will want to see you tomorrow."
Chou Shan cupped his hands and was about to leave. He purposely came here because he was curious about what was going on. Secondly, he wanted to give an explanation. Otherwise, if he didn't get what he wanted and didn't see Long Xiu, it would make people think too much. He might end up being a bad person. There was no need to finish what he started.
"Wait a moment." Chen Tingxiu hurriedly stopped him. "I would like to ask Brother Chou for some advice. Who are the people from Xiao Yao Palace?"
Chou Shan thought for a while. "There are two Elders and three disciples. I think they brought a disciple each. Long Xiu's female disciple isn't easy to talk to."
"Female disciple?" Chen Tingxiu immediately asked. "Is it Long Xiu's disciple, Yi Shu?"
Chou Shan nodded. "Yes, it's her. Why? Are you familiar with her?"
Chen Tingxiu replied, "Not really. She came to the Heavenly Jade Clan on behalf of Long Xiu. How about this, Brother Chou, can you do me another favor? "
Chou Shan frowned. "Brother Chen, don't overdo it!"
Chen Tingxiu saw that he was getting impatient. He hurriedly said, "Brother Chou, don't misunderstand. I just want to know where the people from Xiao Yao Palace live. I feel bad for troubling you to run all over the place. I will personally go to Xiao Yao Palace to see them. If I made them unhappy, I will apologize. What do you think? "
If that was all, it wasn't a big deal. Chou Shan's frown eased. "Come with me."
"Thank you, thank you." Chen Tingxiu cupped his hands and thanked Chou Shan repeatedly. He then quickly returned to the courtyard and informed his fellow sect disciples before leaving with Chou Shan.
The two of them came to the pavilion in the mountain. The disciple who was waiting in the pavilion wanted to come over and greet them. Chou Shan stopped him with his palm and didn't let him come over. He then pointed at the courtyard with the pavilion and said, "The people from Xiao Yao Palace are over there. Brother Chen, go back. Don't cause any trouble. Otherwise, it won't look good on everyone. "
Chen Tingxiu hurriedly nodded. "Of course. I don't dare to behave atrociously in front of the people from Xiao Yao Palace. By the way, Brother Chou, about Niu Youdao … "He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. It seemed that he wanted Chou Shan to help but was too embarrassed to say it.
Chou Shan understood what he meant. "I will give you at most one hour. Otherwise, if the people from Xiao Yao Palace ask why Niu Youdao hasn't come, I won't be able to explain it to them."
"Good, good, good. I will remember Brother Chou's great kindness. I won't say any more words of gratitude. I will leave these words here. Brother Chou, please make a trip to Nanzhou when you are free. You will see my sincerity." Chen Tingxiu almost bowed to express his gratitude.
Chou Shan smiled and sighed. "Hurry up." He waved his hand and signaled the disciple to follow him.
Chen Tingxiu cupped his hands again and then quickly flew towards the courtyard pointed out by Chou Shan.
He was under a lot of pressure and his heart was heavy, especially when he learned that Niu Youdao was going to see Long Xiu.
After Shao Pingbo's reminder, Heavenly Jade Sect knew that Niu Youdao was preparing to make a comeback. How could they dare to let Niu Youdao get involved with Long Xiu again? If Niu Youdao really obtained Long Xiu's support, Heavenly Jade Sect would be in trouble.
He didn't think that Long Xiu would support Niu Youdao because Niu Youdao didn't have the power to protect Nanzhou. It was unlikely that Long Xiu would hand Nanzhou over to Niu Youdao. However, that guy, Niu Youdao, was inexplicable. Heavenly Jade Sect had already suffered at Niu Youdao's hands and experienced Niu Youdao's methods. How could they dare to let it go?
He, Chen Tingxiu, came here on orders to deal with Niu Youdao. How could he sit back and watch such a thing happen? This time, he had to think of a way to stop it no matter what.
Just as he landed outside the courtyard, he was stopped by two cultivators at the door. "Who are you?"
