The news soon reached Chao Shenghuai's ears. Chao Shenghuai had been paying close attention to this matter.
When he found out that two birds had fallen to their deaths at the foot of Eagle Nest Mountain that night, he was also very surprised. It could be said that it was a pleasant surprise. Two more accidents actually covered up the deaths of the other five.
He guessed that it was because birds had different physiques, and some had more severe reactions to drugs.
In fact, he had contributed to finding the five corpses. After learning that his grandfather was in charge of the search, he had also participated in it and secretly played a guiding role, so that the search did not take too long.
He heaved a sigh of relief, but someone else was extremely nervous. Chen Ping found him immediately and found the hut he lived in.
Although Chao Shenghuai was Chao Jing's grandson, his status and qualifications were limited, so he did not have the right to live in a courtyard. It was already a privilege for him to live in a room alone.
The moment Chen Ping entered, Chao Shenghuai immediately went out and looked around before quickly returning to the hut. He did not give Chen Ping a good look and shouted in a low voice, "Something happened at Spirit Gathering Mountain. What are you doing here at this time?"
Chen Ping grabbed his arm. "Senior Apprentice Brother, tell me honestly, did you do it last night?" He had a look of lingering fear on his face.
"What did I do? What nonsense are you talking about?" Chao Shenghuai swung his arm away, his face full of anger. "How can you say such things?"
Chen Ping was anxious. "What's with those five bells? Five Black Jade Condors went missing. Once they find out, I won't be able to escape responsibility. "
Chao Shenghuai knew that he was afraid. He put his hands on Chen Ping's shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, it's already over. The five missing birds have been found. They're already dead. The sect has already found the corpses of the five Black Jade Condors and will not investigate their whereabouts anymore.
Chen Ping was not as well-informed as him. He asked in shock, "Really?"
Chao Shenghuai glared at him. "Why would I lie to you? How can such a big thing be hidden? If you don't believe me, go back and wait. It won't be long before the news spreads in your Spirit Gathering Mountain. Junior Apprentice Brother, don't worry. I won't harm you. What good will it do me if I do? Won't I be in trouble along with you? "
Hearing this, Chen Ping relaxed a little. He probed, "Senior Martial Brother, you were the one who did it last night, right?"
Chao Shenghuai flatly denied, "Nonsense! I had only wanted to find an opportunity to borrow a few Black Jade Condors to put up a front in front of outsiders. Who knew that something like this would happen and ruin my plans? To be honest, I'm also very surprised that something like this happened so suddenly. You, on the other hand, have to be careful when you get back. Something happened to the birds in Spirit Transformation Valley yesterday, and something happened to the birds in Spirit Condensation Mountain last night. It might really be a contagious disease between birds, so you have to be careful. Be careful when you're on duty. Isolate those that need to be quarantined. Don't cause trouble again while you're on duty. "
It was impossible for him to tell the truth.
Chen Ping was skeptical of his words and was sent away just like that.
Not long after Chen Ping left, Gao Lan came again.
"Do you want to die? How dare you come to me now? "Chao Shenghuai scolded as soon as they met.
Gao Lan was really afraid. He knew that what happened last night must have something to do with the medicine he gave them.
He entered the house and closed the door, then pulled Chao Shenghuai to a corner. "Senior Brother, didn't you say that a light dose won't kill them? Didn't you say that you found that person an eyesore and wanted to find trouble with that person? How did this happen? "
Chao Shenghuai wanted to ask Niu Youdao about the medicine, but Niu Youdao told him that a light dose wouldn't kill them. Didn't he kill two birds just like that?
But then again, he had already caught small animals to test it before he took action. He wouldn't act rashly if he wasn't confident.
He thought that the two birds that died from the medicine probably didn't die from the medicine, but from the reaction of the medicine. When they fell from the cliff, they didn't flap their wings in time and fell to their deaths.
"You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask? Do you think I wanted this to happen? Junior Brother, keep this matter to yourself and don't mention it to anyone. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the responsibility. "
"Senior Brother, is there any use in not mentioning it? If it's found out, it's a capital offense! "
"Junior Brother, since it's already like this, we can only pretend that it didn't happen. Don't worry, as long as you don't admit it, no one will be able to find out the truth. I'll say it again, if something happens to you, I won't be able to get away with it. So don't worry, I won't just stand by and watch. I'll find someone to settle it and definitely won't let this matter implicate you. Junior Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you. You better keep your mouth shut. Even if you mention me, I won't admit it. I have someone above me to speak for me. When the time comes, I don't know who will be the unlucky one. As long as you can hold on here, this matter will be over. After this matter, we'll be on the same boat. Otherwise, we'll become enemies … "
After spending a lot of time talking, he finally sent Gao Lan away.
Chao Shenghuai didn't stay idle either. The Chao Family's restrictions on him were also relaxed, so he quietly slipped away to look for Niu Youdao …
"Daoye, it's time to hang the flag."
Niu Youdao was meditating in the house. Yuan Gang knocked on the door and entered, informing him in a low voice.
Niu Youdao opened his eyes and smiled. "The debt collector is here. I quite admire this fellow's ability to handle matters. It's a pity. Ask Hong Niang to come over. "
Yuan Gang turned and left.
When Niu Youdao leisurely walked out of the room, Guan Fangyi also leisurely walked over. She called out from afar, "Daoye, what can I do for you?"
Niu Youdao stood with his sword. When she came closer, he said with a smile, "Lend me some money."
Money? Guan Fangyi's expression immediately changed. She looked as though there was no need to talk. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered. "No money! To think that you have the cheek to ask a woman for money for no reason. Don't you have any shame? "
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Didn't I give you quite a lot earlier?"
"Earlier?" Guan Fangyi was amused. "You know it's earlier? That's right. You gave me some money, but at the same time, you threw a bunch of people for me to take care of. I can't mistreat this, I can't mistreat that. There's also yourself. The pills you use for your cultivation are worth a few. Didn't I buy all of them with my own money? "
Niu Youdao still chuckled. "I don't think I need that much."
Guan Fangyi refused. "You said you gave it to me. Since you gave it to me, how can I take it back? Since it's in my hands, it belongs to me. I don't have any money! "
"Look at you. Why are you acting like a miser? I already said I'm borrowing it. I'm borrowing it from you. I'll return it to you later. "
"I'm not borrowing it."
"I'll return it double."
"You make it sound better than a song. You don't even know when you'll return it. You still have the cheek to say double? You're just making empty promises."
"You're really not giving it to me?"
"I said I'm not giving it to you."
"If you're really not giving it to me, I'm going to ask the Wan Shou Faction for it."
"Haha!" Guan Fangyi waved her hand. "Go, go, go. Since you can ask the Wan Shou Faction for it, why bother looking for me? Go, go quickly. It's best if you can get more back. "
Niu Youdao unhurriedly exclaimed, "I forgot to tell you, after Wen Xinzhao slapped you twice, Chou Shan came to find me. In order to keep the peace, he gave me one million gold coins. How could I accept such a spineless sum of money? I was muddle-headed and actually rejected it. Fine, I'll go and ask Chou Shan for it now. "Then, he picked up his sword and walked away.
Guan Fangyi couldn't laugh anymore. Her face changed. "Stop right there!"
Niu Youdao didn't even start to walk. He raised his sword and pointed it in front of him. "What do you want?"
Guan Fangyi bit her lips. "Chou Shan really gave me a million gold coins to settle the two slaps that Wen Xinzhao slapped me?"
Niu Youdao sighed. "Do you think I would lie to you? How about this, you come with me. I'll let you be a witness. Is that okay?"
Guan Fangyi gritted her teeth. Ever since she followed this fellow, she had been bullied by him. This bastard always had a way to force her to compromise. She couldn't take this lying down. But she couldn't do anything to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, how much do you want?"
Niu Youdao raised his index finger. "Not much. A million gold coins!"
Guan Fangyi stared at him. "A million gold coins can bury you alive. Not much? How much is considered much? Surnamed Niu, I realized that you don't have a brain when it comes to spending money. You spend hundreds of thousands and millions at once. Do you think money is something that you picked up from the ground? "
Niu Youdao hooked his finger. "Stop talking so much. Give it to me."
Guan Fangyi turned around hatefully. Who knew what she was trying to avoid from Niu Youdao. Anyway, when she turned around, she smashed a Bank of the World note towards Niu Youdao's face. "Take it and die!"
Niu Youdao reached out and grabbed the note. He flipped it and took a look. It was the note for a million gold coins in the Bank of the World. It was no different from a million gold note. With this note, he could withdraw cash from all the banks in the world.
Niu Youdao happily kept it in his sleeves. "Why didn't you just give it to me earlier? Why are you wasting your breath?"
"Give?" Guan Fangyi said fiercely, "Smooth out your tongue and say that I borrowed it. If I borrowed it, I will return it double!"
"Yes yes yes, I borrowed it. I will return it double. Thank you." Niu Youdao thanked her and walked down the stairs.
"I have been in Fufang Garden for so many years and it has always been men who give me money. To meet someone like you who lives off a woman and makes me pay for it, I am really unlucky …" Guan Fangyi cursed at his back.
Niu Youdao waved his hands with his back facing her. He didn't care about it at all …
In the mountain stream, the two of them met once more.
The moment they started talking, Chao Shenghuai immediately said, "I have already passed the five Black Jade Condors to your men. Don't say that you didn't receive them."
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, I don't go back on my words. You did well, I received them."
Chao Shenghuai: "Where is the money?"
Niu Youdao silently observed the surroundings. The note that was rolled up into a ball shot out with a seemingly casual movement. It shot into the gap between the rocks behind the Weeping Vine.
A moment later, Chao Shenghuai's tone wasn't right. "Only a million? Didn't you say a million each? I gave you five of them. "
