After returning to the guest courtyard, Huang Lie suddenly stopped and turned around, "Shao Pingbo is from Waning Moon Pavilion, do you think it is possible?"
The two elders who followed him looked at each other. Huang Tong hesitated, "That guy makes it sound real but we also know that he doesn't have good intentions. Who knows if it is true or not. Plus, even if it is true, Shao Pingbo won't admit it. If it is false and we take it seriously, won't we fall into that guy's trap? He obviously wants to harm Shao Pingbo. "
Huang Lie paced back and forth with a solemn expression, "Whether it is true or not, this is not a small matter. Great Zen Mountain has worked hard for so many years, how can we let others take advantage of us? We can't fall into that thief's trap but we can't ignore it either. However, given the current situation, we have to be extremely cautious. We can't let ourselves be trapped both internally and externally. Let's not beat the grass and alert the snake first. Let's keep an eye on Shao Pingbo first and settle the external affairs first. Let's stabilize the external situation first before we start a detailed investigation on Shao Pingbo! "
This was indeed a good direction. The two elders nodded and praised, "Sect Leader is right!"
Huang Lie waved his hand, he didn't want to listen to such good words and said, "There is one thing that we have to be careful of. Niu Youdao's words are full of hidden meanings and I'm afraid it isn't so simple. Everyone must be careful and be alert to any abnormalities!"
… …
A few days later, Huang Lie visited all the sects that were temporarily staying at Wanshou Sect.
Being polite was one reason, he wanted to make friends and the main reason was to cover up that he had been to the six sects of Yan and Korea. He didn't want the three sects of Korea to suspect him and he didn't want the three sects to suspect him.
The negotiations were still continuing and Huang Lie had to leave. He couldn't sit here and wait for the results of the negotiations because there wouldn't be any results.
At this point, the six sects were showing signs of letting up and Great Zen Mountain had to make an appropriate compromise. But this side wanted the negotiations to collapse and wouldn't compromise. Once the six sects let up but this side couldn't, the six sect leaders might come and talk to him directly.
Therefore, he had to leave. Only when he left and went back would he be able to control the situation here. The negotiators below could play with their little tempers and continue to stall for time. Naturally, the result would be that the negotiations would fail.
After Huang Lie sent someone to notify them, he led the group to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate …
"Daoye, it's time to raise the flag."
Niu Youdao was playing chess with Guan Fangyi when Yuan Gang hurried over and entered the pavilion. He leaned over and whispered in Niu Youdao's ear.
Guan Fangyi raised her eyes. She could not bear to see the two of them treating her like an outsider.
Upon hearing this, Niu Youdao stood up and stuffed a chess piece into Yuan Gang's hand. "It's my turn to make my move. Help me continue." With that, he left with his sword.
In the pavilion, Yuan Gang stood while Guan Fangyi sat. The two of them stared at each other for a while.
"Clack, clack, clack." Yuan Gang casually tossed the chess piece onto the chessboard and turned to leave. It was obvious that he could not be bothered to waste time with Guan Fangyi.
"Bastard!" Guan Fangyi cursed fiercely at Yuan Gang's back.
The mountain stream seemed to be the place where Niu Youdao liked to think about problems.
Niu Youdao often appeared at the foot of the mountain stream and paced back and forth beside the mountain stream. Indeed, he looked like he was thinking about something with his head lowered.
Only Yuan Gang, who was standing guard at the edge of the mountain, knew what Niu Youdao was doing.
Chao Shenghuai, who was hiding in the crack of the stone wall behind the Weeping Vine, saw Niu Youdao touch his nose and received a signal that it was safe. He knew that he could speak now, so he said, "The people from Great Zen Mountain are about to leave."
Niu Youdao stopped in his tracks. "When?"
Chao Shenghuai: "Probably soon. They are bidding farewell to the Sect Leader in the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate. Once I heard the news, I immediately came to find you. I will not delay your matters."
He was not afraid of delaying Niu Youdao's matters. He was concerned about Niu Youdao's debt.
Niu Youdao: "Alright, I understand. Is there anything else?"
Chao Shenghuai: "No. That … Huang Lie really owes you money? "He actually still had some doubts. He suspected that Niu Youdao was using him.
Niu Youdao: "Of course."
Chao Shenghuai: "Great Zen Mountain should be more powerful than you. Will he pay you back?"
"You mean that whoever is more powerful can renege on the debt, and I won't collect it?"
"I don't mean that. I just feel that it is difficult."
"You have to collect it even if it is difficult. Just wait, I will stop him now."
Once he returned to the edge of the mountain and met with Yuan Gang, Niu Youdao sneered. "Huang Lie is leaving. Hehe, he wants to run? It is not up to him now. Letter, bring me a letter. "
Yuan Gang nodded slightly and quickly turned to return to the courtyard.
Niu Youdao also returned to the courtyard with his sword. He saw Guan Fangyi, who was waving her circular fan and staring at the leaves. He didn't go over but shouted, "Xu Laoliu."
Guan Fangyi turned around and didn't know why he shouted so loudly.
Xu Laoliu heard the voice and came out from the backyard. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao didn't say anything. He raised his hand and gestured for him to wait. He also stood in front of his sword and waited.
Xu Laoliu tilted his head and looked at Guan Fangyi who was walking over leisurely. He gave a questioning look but Guan Fangyi didn't know what was going on either.
Yuan Gang came back quickly and handed a sealed letter to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao tilted his head and gestured to Xu Laoliu. Yuan Gang naturally did as he was told.
Xu Laoliu didn't know what was going on either. "Daoye, this is …"
Niu Youdao: "Great Zen Mountain's Sect Master Huang Lie is leaving. Take this letter and wait in front of Myriad Beasts Sect's mountain gate. Stop him and give this letter to him."
Guan Fangyi could tell that even though this person had been wandering around in this place all day long, he was actually very clear about the happenings outside.
"Alright!" Xu Laoliu nodded and asked again, "How should I answer?"
"You don't need to answer. If he wants to come, just bring him here. Go now! "Niu Youdao waved his sleeves and walked towards the pavilion in the yard with his sword.
Xu Laoliu kept the letter in his sleeves and left quickly.
Yuan Gang watched him leave. He understood that since Daoye had started to use the people from Fu Fang Garden, it meant that he was going to lay all his cards on the table. It also meant that even if there was a small mistake, it wouldn't affect the overall situation. Daoye's plan was set in stone!
This was also why he followed Niu Youdao for so many years. He admired Niu Youdao the most. Daoye was still the same Daoye who dominated the Jianghu!
Every time this happened, Yuan Gang couldn't help but admit that Daoye, who looked like he had everything under his control, was truly a playboy. He was all-powerful and captivating!
He had thought of imitating him but he had to face reality. There were differences between people. People with the same experiences wouldn't be able to produce the same person.
This was also the reason why he had recommended Niu Youdao to Shang Shuqing back then. He knew that his own abilities were lacking, and he knew who could really help the Shang siblings out of their predicament.
Guan Fangyi walked into the pavilion and sat opposite Niu Youdao. She asked cautiously, "What's written in the letter?"
Niu Youdao stared at the chessboard and said indifferently, "You'll know in a while. We have an important guest. Go and prepare a pot of tea."
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes at him but still got up to prepare tea …
At the mountain gate, inside the tall memorial archway. It was so close. Xu Laoliu almost missed it. Just as he arrived, Huang Lie arrived with a group of people from Wanshou Clan.
Chou Shan personally came to send them off at the request of Xi Hai Clan.
Xu Laoliu immediately stepped forward and blocked their way. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Huang."
Huang Lie wasn't familiar with him and he didn't know his name. But the last time Niu Youdao invited him, he saw him in Niu Youdao's courtyard. He immediately knew that Huang Lie was one of Niu Youdao's men. Huang Lie asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
Xu Laoliu took out the letter and presented it to Huang Lie. "Daoye ordered me to present this letter to Sect Leader Huang."
Huang Lie laughed coldly and looked at Chou Shan. He said, "Brother Chou, it seems like Niu Youdao is very familiar with my whereabouts in Wanshou Clan. He knows about my sudden departure, he's not a simple person."
Chou Shan smiled. He knew that Huang Lie was accusing Wan Shou Clan of having internal problems.
It wasn't easy for him to answer this question. Wanshou Clan was a big clan, there were all kinds of people in a big forest. Besides, who wouldn't know a few outsiders? It was inevitable to have some connections with outsiders. Wanshou Clan's business often required these connections.
The rules of the clan were dead, but the hearts of the people were alive. There was no way to make sure that the rules were perfect. Just like him, when Chen Tingxiu asked him for help, he had to make an exception.
If there was really a problem, he didn't know what kind of people would be involved in it. Without any evidence, it wasn't a big deal. They wouldn't do anything just because of an outsider's groundless words.
So, he just smiled and didn't answer. At most, he would keep an eye on him.
Huang Lie also wanted to see what kind of nonsense Niu Youdao had written for him. He received the letter and invoked his arts to examine it. Then, he opened the seal and took out a letter that still had many creases after being flattened. He opened it and read.
It was better if he didn't read it. Once he read it, his face changed. He flipped the letter and quickly folded it. It was as if he didn't want others to read it.
Chou Shan was curious. What was written in the letter that Niu Youdao sent to make Huang Lie have such a big reaction?
Not only him, the people from Great Zen Mountain were curious too.
Huang Lie put the letter back into the envelope and stared at Xu Lao Liu coldly. He said stiffly, "Where is Niu Youdao?"
Xu Lao Liu was thinking about it too. He replied politely, "He didn't go anywhere. He's in the guest house."
Huang Lie turned his head and smiled. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chou, I'm really sorry. Niu Youdao sent me an invitation letter. He has something to discuss with me. I have to go over now. It's a sin to waste Brother Chou's time."
"It's alright. Please go ahead!" Chou Shan replied politely.
The people from Great Zen Mountain exchanged glances or looked at each other. They realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Huang Lie waved his hand and brought the group of people back.
Xu Lao Liu immediately led the way politely. He was surprised and admired Niu Youdao. He said he wanted Huang Lie to go over with a letter and Huang Lie really went over!
Chou Shan looked with his hands behind his back. His face was filled with suspicion. He muttered to himself. Did Niu Youdao have such a big face? He told you to go over and you just went over? You are the sect leader of Great Zen Mountain, how can you be so obedient? Did you get it wrong? How far was it? Couldn't Niu Youdao personally come over if he had something to do? With Niu Youdao's meager qualifications and background, he actually only sent a subordinate to deal with you under such circumstances. Isn't he putting on a little too much airs?
