After that, Long Xiu asked about Shao Pingbo, and Niu Youdao chatted with him for a while.
Long Xiu didn't continue chatting with him. He had already given Niu Youdao enough face by meeting him. Of course, he wasn't in a hurry to chase him away and asked Niu Youdao to stay for a few days.
However, Niu Youdao didn't want to stay. It would be too passive if he stayed. He excused himself and left.
Long Xiu didn't force him and asked Yi Shu to send him off.
When they were going down the mountain, Niu Youdao suddenly held Guan Fangyi's waist and walked with her.
Guan Fangyi wanted to turn around and shake him off, but Niu Youdao whispered to stop her, "Don't move."
Guan Fangyi tilted her head and noticed the look in his eyes. She stared blankly for a moment before realizing something. She was bewildered and uncertain in her heart. She knew that Niu Youdao definitely had a motive for doing this, so she pretended to cooperate with him, making it seem like the two of them were very close.
Yi Shu, who didn't really like the two of them, followed them from a distance even though she was sending them off. Seeing the situation and seeing Niu Youdao's hand almost touching someone's buttocks, her face was full of disdain.
This shameless pair of adulterous couple in broad daylight almost disgusted her to the point of vomiting.
On the way, under Niu Youdao's hint, Guan Fangyi even took the initiative to hold Niu Youdao's arm.
After they left the mountain gate, they met up with Second Brother Wu, who was guarding the bird, and flew away.
Looking at Xiao Yao Palace behind them, Guan Fangyi asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"
Niu Youdao replied, "Long Xiu wants to matchmake me with Yi Shu."
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "He wants you to marry Yi Shu?"
"He is the Sovereign of Xiao Yao Palace. Why would he directly say that he wants to marry his disciple? He only hinted at me. He wants me to take the initiative … …" Niu Youdao immediately explained the situation.
Guan Fangyi was happy, "This is a good thing. Who is Long Xiu? He also had a place in the Misty Pavilion. This is a good thing that others can't even dream of. Don't dawdle, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just send someone to propose with betrothal gifts. With Long Xiu's reputation, he'll have a reason to do it. With Long Xiu's pressure, Yi Shu will have no choice but to agree. I'm sure you'll get the beauty. "
Niu Youdao retorted, "What beauty? Is she as beautiful as you? I don't think he's even fit to carry your shoes. "
Guan Fangyi was overjoyed. "Of course! Uh, that's not right … "His smile suddenly froze and his expression changed." What did you mean just now? Are you using me as a shield to disgust that girl? "
It wasn't that she didn't want to help Niu Youdao solve his problem, but it was a problem with Niu Youdao's attitude. Did he think that she had a bad reputation and was suitable to be used as a shield?
"No way." Niu Youdao refused to admit it.
However, it was useless to deny it. Guan Fangyi scolded him harshly. Wu Laoer, who was riding on the flying beast, shook his head as he listened …
"Teacher, why do you want to see him?"
Yi Shu, who had sent off the guests and came back to report, couldn't help but ask Long Xiu, who was leaning against the railing with his hands clasped behind his back.
How could Long Xiu tell her the truth? He asked, "Shu 'er, what do you think of Niu Youdao?"
Yi Shu directly said, "I don't dare to compliment him."
Long Xiu was surprised. He didn't expect his disciple to reject Niu Youdao so directly. He immediately turned around and asked, "Isn't he pretty good? Why don't you compliment him?"
Yi Shu said, "He's arrogant and supercilious!"
Long Xiu frowned. "How can you tell that he's arrogant and supercilious? Has he ever been rude to you? "
Yi Shu said, "How dare he! Teacher, don't be fooled by his respectful attitude towards you. I don't know what he thinks of Xiao Yao Palace. This person has always been supercilious. When he was in the Shangqing Sect, he dared to lay his hands on his superior's people. It's not like you don't know that he injured a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Cult in Qi Capital. Do you think that he treats Xiao Yao Palace better than the Heavenly Fire Cult? "
Long Xiu said, "I've understood all these. He only fought back because he was forced to a dead end. Is that wrong? If he's really a useless person who can be trampled on, do you think he's qualified to meet me here? "
Yi Shu said, "Teacher, let's not talk about other things. Just look at what happened between him and the matchmaker in Qi Capital. Is that something a person of good character would do?"
Speaking of this, Long Xiu had a headache. He heard that Niu Youdao had been living with the matchmaker for a long time in Fu Fang Garden in Qi Capital. Now, they were inseparable.
This disciple of his was innocent. It was already a grievance for her to marry Niu Youdao, that divorcee.
Forget about that. The thing with Tang Yi could be said to be involuntary, but what about the matchmaker? What about the reputation of the matchmaker? He realized that Niu Youdao didn't cherish his reputation at all. Wasn't this destroying his own future?
Because of this, Long Xiu had a headache. There were some things that couldn't be said or discussed with others in Xiao Yao Palace. Niu Youdao was such a messy person. As the Sect Leader of Xiao Yao Palace, in order to win him over, he didn't hesitate to marry his last disciple. Wasn't this too shameless? Not to mention outsiders, what would the people in Xiao Yao Palace think?
Therefore, he hoped that Niu Youdao would take the initiative.
Slowly, after a moment of silence, Long Xiu said, "This might be related to his experience. Teacher died early, so he didn't have anyone to discipline him. Therefore, he indulged a little. He's a young man, so some of his actions are understandable. "
Yi Shu was surprised and asked suspiciously, "Teacher, why do I feel that you are speaking for him?"
"Am I?" Long Xiu didn't admit it, but he tried to persuade her, "When I was young, I was also muddle-headed. Everyone has a time when they were young and preposterous. You can't judge a person by what's in front of you. You have to look at the long term! What I mean is that this Niu Youdao still has some good points. Otherwise, why would Yu Cang let his nephew worship him as a teacher? You can't judge a person by their shortcomings, you have to look at their strong points. This is what I hope you can learn from him. "
Yi Shu pointed at herself and said in disbelief, "Teacher wants me to learn from him?"
Long Xiu's expression suddenly changed. He pointed at her and angrily rebuked, "I said, you have to learn from his strong points! Do you think that you can do anything just because you are a disciple of Xiao Yao Palace? You have to change your attitude. Listen carefully. In the future, if you have nothing to do, go to Green Mountain County often and interact with people. Do you understand? "
Seeing that he was angry, Yi Shu could only lower her head and agree, "Yes!"
It was purely perfunctory, but in her heart, she didn't agree.
… …
The two Black Jade Condors circled above the boundless mountain range for a while before they landed on the peak of a mountain. Duan Hu, Lei Zongkang and Wu San jumped down.
A person jumped out of the forest. It was the person that Mount Five Liang had stationed around the Wan Shou Clan.
Duan Hu and the other two people didn't know him well, but they had seen him before. However, the person recognized them and knew that they were Niu Youdao's people.
Both sides met and greeted each other. Duan Hu asked, "Is everyone here?"
The person replied, "We have already gathered."
"Good, let's go now!" Duan Hu nodded and waved his hand.
At noon, the disciple of Mount Five Liang appeared outside the Wan Shou Clan's mountain gate. He called himself Hei Wu and said that he was Chao Shenghuai's friend.
Not long after, Chao Shenghuai flew out from the Wan Shou Clan. When he heard the two words' Hei Wu ', he was frightened. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had a guilty conscience.
Seeing that he didn't know the person outside the mountain gate, he still quickly went out of the mountain gate. He brought the person aside and asked, "Do we know each other?"
The disciple replied, "Someone from Wan Xiang City is here to fulfill the promise that Daoye made to you."
Chao Shenghuai didn't leave with him immediately. He was afraid that Niu Youdao would kill him. He asked for the meeting place in the city and asked the disciple to leave first. He said that he would go there later.
Once he returned to the Wan Shou Clan, he immediately brought a group of people down the mountain to drink. They went to the Tian Yun Inn in Wan Xiang City.
After eating and drinking with his fellow disciples, he found an excuse to go upstairs of the inn and knocked on the door of a room.
Someone was waiting for him in the room. It was Duan Hu.
After both sides confirmed each other's identity, Chao Shenghuai hinted that everyone around was his people.
Duan Hu smiled and invited the person to sit down. He took out a stack of gold notes and pushed it in front of him. "Here is one million! Daoye asked me to tell you that there has been some conflict with the Northern Prefecture recently. We spent a lot of money and are a little short on cash. The remaining three million will be given to you. We will give it to you later. "
Chao Shenghuai thought that he wouldn't be able to get it. He didn't expect that Niu Youdao would keep his promise and give him another portion.
After counting the gold notes, Duan Hu said to him, "Daoye also asked me to bring some people here. He said that Brother Chao has something for us to do."
Speaking of this, Chao Shenghuai was a little annoyed. Niu Youdao left just like that. He didn't even do what he promised. Those people who participated in the matter made him worried every day.
The key was that those people didn't treat him as an outsider. They looked for him whenever they needed help. They overestimated his ability. If he really had the ability, would he have to take the risk?
He was afraid that something would happen sooner or later. He also thought of doing it himself. But those people were close to him now. Many people in the clan knew that when he made them disappear, he had to prove that he wasn't with those people.
He also thought of looking for outsiders to do it, but he didn't dare to. Asking outsiders to do it was tantamount to giving them something to use against him.
Looking around, Chao Shenghuai gestured for him to come closer. He whispered a few words into Duan Hu's ear.
Duan Hu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Their heads separated. Chao Shenghuai gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see their heads tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry. No problem. Tomorrow morning, they will be buried under that old tree outside the East City Gate. "
…
That night, Chao Shenghuai found a suitable excuse to be on duty. He spent the whole night fooling around with his fellow disciples. He looked like he was chatting and laughing, but his heart was extremely uneasy.
Those four disciples had already been tricked down the mountain by him. The reason was that they were looking for someone to pick up something.
He was extremely worried that Niu Youdao's people would slip up. If they slipped up and one of them came back, that person would definitely know that he had been tricked. Then he would be in trouble.
But he comforted himself that this wasn't a small matter. Niu Youdao would know the consequences of leaking the information and would probably act appropriately.
With great difficulty, he endured until daybreak. News spread from within the sect that the four people had not returned overnight without permission. They sent people to search for them.
Chao Shenghuai himself was found by the steward of the sect at the first instance. He was asked if he knew where the four people had gone. Naturally, he expressed that he didn't know anything.
After that, he took the initiative to go down the mountain to help search for them since he had a good relationship with the four people.
He found the old tree outside the city gate. The marks on the ground were untouched. There were no signs of anything being buried there. He expanded the search area, but still couldn't find anything.
As a last resort, he quickly rushed to Wanxiang City and went to the Tianyun Inn to look for Duan Hu.
There was no sign of Duan Hu in the inn. The people in the inn said that the guest had checked out last night.
Chao Shenghuai, who left the inn, was filled with trepidation. He didn't know what Duan Hu meant. Did he not succeed, or did he forget what he promised after he succeeded? How could he forget something like this?
