If he had not mentioned this matter, Shounian would have forgotten about it. Now that he mentioned it, he would naturally remember it. He had not met Niu Youdao many times, and the first time he met him was especially memorable.
That was when Niu Youdao first arrived at the Feng Clan in Guang Yi Prefecture. He came to propose marriage on behalf of Shang Chaozong. Feng Ruonan was so angry that she made a move, but was stopped by Yuan Gang. Feng Ruonan couldn't win against Yuan Gang, so he intervened and gave Yuan Gang a slap.
Back then, Xiao Chen had not intended to take Yuan Gang's life, but he had secretly made a vicious move. Even if Yuan Gang did not die, he would be severely injured. Xiao Chen had intended to teach Yuan Gang a lesson.
Who would have thought that the result would be a little surprising? He had used his hidden force to attack, but Yuan Gang had blocked it. Back then, he had been a little surprised by Yuan Gang's physical body's ability to resist attacks, so he had a deep impression of him.
He also clearly remembered the fierce look in Niu Youdao's eyes as he asked, "Old man, are you tired of living?"
Then he reminded him, "Old man, I'll remember this palm strike. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let you taste my palm strike."
At that time, he replied, "This old servant will be waiting!"
At that time, he really didn't think much of it. Whether it was Shang Chaozong or Niu Youdao, he didn't think much of it. He just thought that the other party was trying to put on a brave front and was trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Comparing the two of them from back then, Shou Nian could only sigh inwardly. He knew that the other party had brought this up because it was time to settle old scores. He nodded and said, "I remember!"
Peng Yulan also remembered this matter. Back then, she was the one who hinted Shou Nian to make a move. She said hesitantly, "Niu Youdao, that matter has nothing to do with the Housekeeper. I was the one who instructed him …"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "There's no need to explain too much. Do as you see fit. I won't force you."
Yuan Gang was not present. Guan Fangyi, who was listening by the side, was curious. He did not know what kind of past it was hiding.
Shou Nian said, "If you can help Miss in her matter, this old servant is willing to return that palm strike of yours."
Peng Yulan said uneasily, "Longevity!"
Shou Nian smiled. "Madam, it's nothing."
Niu Youdao did not waste any time. He got up and walked towards Shou Nian. Bang! He raised his hand and slapped Shou Nian's chest. Then, he turned around and left after saying, "Send the guest off!"
The palm didn't cause much of a commotion. Shou Nian didn't even move from his spot.
Peng Yulan heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that Niu Youdao was just being polite. With Shounian's cultivation, he should be able to withstand such a casual palm strike.
Niu Youdao's palm strike was equivalent to agreeing to Shou Nian's words and agreeing to help. This made Peng Yulan look forward to it.
However, when the three of them left the manor, Shou Nian's legs suddenly went weak, and he staggered.
The accompanying person quickly reached out to support him. He discovered that Shou Nian's body was faintly trembling. He asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Peng Yulan turned around and noticed that something was wrong with Shounian's complexion. One side was red and the other was pale. She immediately reached out to support him and asked, "What happened?"
Shou Nian, who was forcing himself to walk out of the manor, felt as if one side of his body had fallen into an icy cave, while the other side felt as if he was being roasted in a fire. The different forces in his body messed up the balance of his transcendence energy. With a trembling voice, he said, "What a tyrannical palm strength! Bring me down the mountain and find a quiet place to recuperate. "
Peng Yulan and the other person immediately understood. Although Niu Youdao's palm strike seemed ordinary, there was actually something profound about it.
The other person immediately grabbed Peng Yulan with one hand and Shou Nian with the other. They quickly flew down the mountain.
Lei Zongkang, who was seeing the guests off, witnessed the scene earlier. The corner of his mouth twitched. He could empathize with Shou Nian's feelings and roughly knew what was going on.
Inside the manor, Guan Fangyi followed beside Niu Youdao. She asked curiously, "Then what's going on with the butler owing you a palm strike?"
"It's nothing much. He slapped the monkey back then, and I said I would get it back."
"Hehe, you've been thinking about it, and you call that nothing much? You're really vengeful. "
Niu Youdao did not want to explain. That matter was already in the past, and there was no need to hold a grudge. There was no point in holding a grudge against Shou Nian.
However, there was still a need to pay attention to this matter. If that palm strike had hit him back then, there would be no need for him to do this now. However, the one who had hit him was Yuan Gang. He had to give his brother an explanation.
He knew when to stop. That palm strike would not take Shou Nian's life, but it was unavoidable for Shou Nian to suffer a little …
A few days later, they received news from Great Zen Mountain. After calculating the approximate time of Huang Lie's arrival in Nanzhou's prefectural city, they set off.
The three sect masters, Fei, Xia, and Zheng, also brought people with them. The Heavenly Jade Sect was gone, and the interests of Nanzhou had to be redistributed. Whether they could make the decision or not, the three sects would definitely participate as witnesses.
On Thatched Cottage Villa's side, four large flying beasts were dispatched at once.
They soared high in the sky and looked down at the vast land. The three sect masters chatted and laughed along the way, feeling quite emotional. This was the first time they had enjoyed such a feeling.
After flying for a long distance, when the four flying beasts appeared in the sky above the Nanzhou Provincial Governor's Manor, the cultivators in the manor were alarmed. They flew up to the roofs to be on guard.
After confirming that they were enemies, the flying beasts landed in the garden. Great Zen Mountain's Elder Huang Tong, who was temporarily overseeing the place, met up with Niu Youdao and greeted him.
The grudges in Myriad Beasts Sect were over. Now, at least for now, Great Zen Mountain had yet to gain a firm foothold in Nanzhou. They needed to be on good terms with Niu Youdao.
Huang Lie had not arrived yet. He would probably arrive the next morning. Niu Youdao purposely came to welcome him early to give Huang Lie enough face.
Niu Youdao then introduced Fei Changliu and the others to Huang Tong.
The commotion here very quickly alarmed Shang Chaozong, Shang Shuqing, Lan Ruoting, and Meng Shanming, who was pushed in a wheelchair, all appeared to welcome them.
"Daoye!" The group of people greeted him happily. Shang Shuqing's tone was filled with joy and joy. Her eyes were shining with splendor.
However, Niu Youdao only smiled politely and nodded. He called her princess and mainly conversed with Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming.
Shang Shuqing was a little disappointed. There were many polite greetings, but she had to respect her status. With so many people here, it was not her and Niu Youdao's turn to talk.
Afterwards, Niu Youdao seemed a little surprised. He looked around and asked, "Why don't I see the princess?"
Meng Shanming, who was sitting in the wheelchair, felt his heart skip a beat.
He said that he wanted to see Feng Ruonan. Shang Chaozong could only send someone to invite her.
Soon, Feng Ruonan arrived.
Seeing Feng Ruonan's skinny appearance, Niu Youdao was shocked. She was so skinny that she was just a bag of bones. She looked like a female general who wore battle armor, rode on horseback, and shot arrows. She was nowhere to be seen.
However, he did not say anything. He cupped his hands and bowed politely. "Niu Youdao greets the princess!"
Guan Fangyi blinked. She knew what Peng Yulan said. She wanted to see how this person would interfere with Shang Chaozong's family matters.
In truth, even an upright official would find it hard to settle family matters. It was not good for outsiders to interfere. Even she knew that if Niu Youdao forcefully interfered, he would even interfere with Shang Chaozong's family matters. It would easily cause Shang Chaozong to have other thoughts.
Huang Tong, who was at the side, was a little surprised. Why did it look like Niu Youdao treated this princess more respectfully than the other people in the wang fu?
He had been here for a few days and had a general understanding of the situation. He could also see that this princess was not very well received in this wang fu.
As to the reason, it was not hard to find out. The Feng Family almost took Shang Chaozong's life. The result could be imagined.
Feng Ruonan forced a smile and half knelt to return the greeting. "Greetings to Daoye."
"Princess is too polite." Niu Youdao smiled and waved his hand. He then said to Huang Tong: "Elder Huang might not know, but among these people, I was the first to know Princess. In the past, before I entered the Shangqing Sect, Princess saw that I was wandering and shot a nameplate with Princess's identity to me. She also shouted to me that the outside world was not easy. If I could not survive, I could take the nameplate and find her. She was willing to give me a future. This is something that this Niu will never forget! "
Huang Tong gave a meaningful "oh". Niu Youdao purposefully mentioning this matter to him seemed to have the intention of having Great Zen Mountain take care of him. He also looked with slight puzzlement at Shang Chaozong and the others.
Shang Chaozong and the others were slightly silent. They were not deaf and heard what Niu Youdao said about his friendship with Feng Ruonan.
Feng Ruonan, who was living like a rotten tree, felt warmth in her heart. She was not stupid and knew of Niu Youdao's influence on this side. She hadn't thought that Niu Youdao would say such things in public. The rims of her eyes became slightly red.
Niu Youdao only spoke casually and then went to catch up with Shang Chaozong and the others. The fu naturally prepared food and wine to entertain them. A good conversation was unavoidable.
After the banquet, the sky had already turned dark. Niu Youdao returned to the guest courtyard where he was arranged to stay, reeking of alcohol.
When the steward of the fu came to ask if there was anything else he needed, he was stopped by Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao asked about the situation in the fu in detail.
The moon was alluring. After hesitating for a long time, Shang Shuqing finally came to the side of the courtyard wall. When he came here, he hesitated again.
After pacing back and forth for a while, he wanted to go in and find Niu Youdao. However, when he thought that it was not appropriate for a woman to look for him at night, he finally turned around and went back.
Early the next morning, Niu Youdao came out of the courtyard early and strolled around. When someone came to ask, he only said that he wanted to take a look. No one in the fu dared to stop him.
Not long after he left, Shang Shuqing came and hesitated in the courtyard.
Guan Fangyi swayed her hips as she walked out of the room. When she saw her, she couldn't help but smile. "Junzhu is here. Are you here to comb Daoye's hair?"
Shang Shuqing blushed a little but didn't deny it. She asked, "Hongniang, is Daoye up?"
Guan Fangyi walked over with a smile. "He? He woke up early in the morning. I don't know where he went."
Shang Shuqing was stunned. He came early, but he didn't expect to be late …
In the garden, two beauties like flowers and jade also woke up early. The one in white was called Yu Niang, and the one in pink was called Wan Niang.
These two were the beauties that the Feng family presented to Shang Chaozong. They each carried a basket in their hands and personally picked the flower petals. They were more beautiful than the flowers.
These two served Shang Chaozong with all their heart. Taking advantage of the season, they would wake up early every morning and personally pick the fresh flower petals to make soup for Shang Chaozong.
What surprised the two was that they met a person who spoiled their mood.
They saw a servant picking flowers in the garden. He casually picked a flower and smelled it before throwing it away.
It didn't matter if he threw it away. He moved to the side of the flower bush and picked another flower to smell it before throwing it away. It was simply a waste.
When the two beauties saw this, they became angry. Yu Niang questioned, "Which courtyard's servant are you from?"
The servant turned around. It was Niu Youdao. However, he was wearing a servant's clothes and a manservant's hat. He pointed at himself and asked, "You're asking me? I just came. What's wrong? "He tore the flower in his hand and threw it away.
Just came? The two beauties understood. No wonder he didn't know the rules. Wan Niang shouted, "Servants!"
