Huang Lie didn't comment on this. He only chuckled and didn't express his agreement. The other was avoiding danger, so it wasn't appropriate for him to directly object. He planned to discuss with the people of Great Zen Mountain how to deal with it.
Yuan Gang watched coldly from the side. Regardless of the other's attitude, there was one thing that Yuan Gang couldn't help but sigh.
Changed, the situation had truly changed. If this was in the past, would Daoye speak to Peng Youzai of the Heavenly Jade Sect with the same attitude? If Peng Youzai didn't want to agree, he would definitely refuse. There was no room for discussion. Now that he was facing Huang Lie, whose strength wasn't inferior to Peng Youzai's, Huang Lie had to reconsider Daoye's words. It was unlikely that he would be as domineering as Peng Youzai in the past.
After these years of business, Daoye finally had the confidence to speak in Nanzhou and didn't need to endure too much.
After Huang Lie and the others left, Niu Youdao, who was sending off his guests, saw Shang Shuqing walking over with Silver.
The latter had a slight smile on her face. Her smile was slightly ferocious, but her eyes were bright. After parting at the prefectural city, they finally met again.
Yin 'er wasn't as reserved as her. She came over and called out intimately, "Dao, where did you go? I waited for you for a long time. "
Niu Youdao looked at the food box in her hands and felt a toothache. He replied with a smile, "I went out to take care of business."
"I want to go too!" Yin 'er's attitude was firm.
Niu Youdao knew that she meant that he would bring her along in the future. He smiled and didn't agree or refuse.
Seeing him smile, Yin 'er immediately took it as a yes. She took out a greasy chicken leg from the food box and handed it to him. "For you!"
Normal people wouldn't be able to snatch her food. The person she was willing to share her food with must be someone she had a favorable impression of.
"I'm full." Niu Youdao pushed it back. He really wasn't interested in sharing the food she randomly took out. Disgusting!
"Daoye!" Shang Shuqing also came over to greet him. His gaze was as gentle as water, and he turned to greet the others.
"Princess." The others greeted her as well.
Niu Youdao glanced at Yiner again. "I heard that Princess and Yiner get along very well. You teach her many things every day?"
Shang Shuqing smiled, "I'm fine as well. Sister Yin 'er is very simple and I like her very much."
She had yet to truly understand Silver's attitude towards others, but Guan Fangyi's eyelids were already twitching twice. She secretly cursed, "Is this Monster King that simple? You haven't seen how scary she is, have you?
However, she was also very surprised when she heard the news. This Demon King could actually get along well with the gentle princess?
Simple? Niu Youdao smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to explain.
At this time, the man in the flowery robe who had been strolling around the Thatched Cottage Villa arrived. The moment he saw Shang Shuqing, his pupils suddenly shrank. He stood not far away and stared at Shang Shuqing's face for a long time …
The people from Great Zen Mountain bid farewell and returned to the guest courtyard.
Without the mood to do anything else, Huang Lie and a few elders who came with him gathered in the courtyard. They didn't say much and directly asked, "You all heard Niu Youdao's words. He wants to move into the Provincial Governor's Office. What does everyone think?"
"Back then, when we took over the Southern Prefecture, it was because of the sudden intervention of the three major sects that caught Heavenly Jade Sect off guard. That was how we managed to successfully capture Shang Chaozong. Otherwise, Heavenly Jade Sect wouldn't have handed him over to us so easily, and there wouldn't have been a smooth handover in the Southern Prefecture."
"That's right. Niu Youdao is a crafty person. If we really let Niu Youdao and Shang Chaozong stay together for a long time, what if Niu Youdao has any ulterior motives? Shang Chaozong and Niu Youdao are already in the same boat. We can guard against him for now, but we can't guard against him for long. If this goes on for a long time, it will be hard to guard against him!"
"I also don't think it's appropriate. Who knows if he has colluded with other sects outside? His influence on the Southern Prefecture is already great. We have to seize control of the Southern Prefecture. He said he would stay temporarily, but who knows for how long? If he doesn't leave, are we going to fall out with him? Turning the Southern Province upside down won't do us any good. "
The elders discussed and their attitude was clear. They didn't want to see Niu Youdao move to the Provincial Governor's Office.
Huang Lie said, "But he said he is in danger and needs to go to the prefectural city to avoid danger. If we don't agree, it means we want him to die. It's hard to refuse!"
"Danger? That's what he said! If the Imperial Court really acts against him, do you think he can escape so easily? Look at him, he's fine, he doesn't look like he's in danger. "
"Actually, there is a way to deal with it. Isn't it just avoiding danger? He can come to our Great Zen Mountain Sect! We can provide him with protection. Isn't it safer than staying in the prefectural city? If he refuses, doesn't that mean he has selfish motives? Also, now that he is in our hands, we can decide some things based on the situation! "The last sentence had a deeper meaning.
Once he said this, everyone cheered. Huang Lie nodded. "Very good, we will reply to him like this later!"
The next morning, Shang Shuqing appeared outside Niu Youdao's room and waited. He paced back and forth with his head lowered. His fingers were tangled. He hadn't combed his hair for a long time and didn't know what Niu Youdao's attitude was.
Guan Fangyi, who was twisting her waist and appearing from the corner, saw Shang Shuqing in the yard. She was startled for a moment and then turned back to avoid him.
The door opened and Niu Youdao appeared. His gaze met Shang Shuqing's and then he smiled warmly and nodded. "Where is Yin 'er?"
"Still sleeping." Shang Shuqing replied. Seeing him turn around without any abnormalities, she sighed in relief and then walked into the room.
Niu Youdao first opened all the windows in the room to avoid arousing suspicion. Then, he took the initiative to sit in front of the dressing table.
Just like before, Shang Shuqing's method of combing her hair was still so considerate. To a passive person, it was really a kind of enjoyment.
After a while, Niu Youdao suddenly asked, "Princess, what kind of Mr. Right do you plan to find in the future?"
Shang Shuqing's hand trembled slightly. Then, he continued combing and said softly, "I am so ugly, who would like me?"
Niu Youdao smiled. "Last time, Meng Shuai talked to me and I found out that the birthmark on your face is related to Dongguo Haoran. Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will contact the people from the Shangqing Sect and ask them to think of a way to return your beauty. By then, there will naturally be Mr. Right lining up to ask for your hand in marriage. "
"Is appearance really that important?" Shang Shuqing stopped what he was doing. Looking at the man in the mirror, he asked tentatively, "I wonder what kind of beauty will Daoye's future lover be?"
"Me?" Niu Youdao said calmly, "Cultivators are fickle and have no control over their own lives. I don't know if there will be a future. Some things are not suitable for me. It is not necessarily a bad thing to walk the path of Dao alone."
Shang Shuqing was silent. He did not speak anymore and continued combing.
Bang! In the silence, Niu Youdao suddenly slapped his thigh. "Silly me. How could I forget that he is also from the Shangqing Sect!"
Shang Shuqing was puzzled. "Who? Chen Guishuo? I have met him before, but he doesn't seem to know. "
Niu Youdao waved his hand and said cheerfully, "If everyone knew, it would not have dragged on until now. He does not have a high position in the Shangqing Sect, so it is not strange that he does not know. Let's talk about this after some time. "
Shang Shuqing softly nodded. She was not against restoring her appearance, nor was she in a hurry.
Duan Hu knocked on the door frame and entered. He first nodded to greet Shang Shuqing and then reported, "Daoye, the former Sect Leader of the South Province's Flying Flower Pavilion, Cao Yu 'er, is here. She wants to see you."
"She really can't wait …" Niu Youdao muttered. He asked again, "How many people are here?"
Duan Hu said, "Two. She has an accompanying disciple."
Niu Youdao said expressionlessly, "Those who come are guests. Please invite them in."
"Yes!" Duan Hu accepted the order and left.
Hearing that something was up, Shang Shuqing did not want to delay the matter. He immediately increased the speed of his hands. Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao Slowly said, "There is no hurry!"
Shang Shuqing was slightly startled. The speed of his hands returned to normal.
Niu Youdao continued, "Region Princess, something might happen here today. Moreover, the commotion might not be small. In order not to alert the enemy, I did not ask anyone to leave. I was afraid that it might frighten you. You should be mentally prepared. You don't have to be too afraid."
Shang Shuqing really wanted to ask what was going on, but she was smart. She thought of the words' don't beat the grass to scare the snake ', so she didn't ask. She smiled and said, "Taoist Grandpa has forgotten that although I'm a woman, I've also been to the battlefield, so I can take fright. What's more, Daoye is here. As long as Daoye is here … I am not afraid of anything! "
When she said the last sentence, her voice couldn't help but become softer. She didn't know why she couldn't help but say such words. She didn't know if it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but her heart was beating faster and her cheeks were hot.
Niu Youdao slowly closed his eyes. His heart was heavy.
In the waterside pavilion, two women stood by the railing, waiting for the arrival of the owner of the place. The older woman was the head of the Flying Flower Pavillion, Cao Yu 'er. The other was her disciple.
Cao Yu 'er, who had been sizing up the place since she entered, looked around and said, "I did not expect that with his current status, he could still continue to live in such a desolate place." What she meant was that with Niu Youdao's current status, he could definitely find a better place to live.
Her disciple said something flattering, "Perhaps he knows that no matter how good a place is, he will not be able to stay for long."
Cao Yu 'er glanced at her coldly and looked at Duan Hu, who was standing not far away. She lowered her voice and said, "Later, open your eyes and look carefully. There must be no mistakes."
Her disciple also replied in a low voice, "Master, don't worry. I have seen him with my own eyes in the Qi Capital. As long as it is him, I will not make a mistake."
After a while, Niu Youdao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes but was neatly groomed and dressed, arrived. On his left and right were Yuan Gang and the man in flowery clothes who walked casually.
After entering the waterside pavilion, Duan Hu went forward to introduce the two parties.
When the host and guest took their seats, Cao Yu 'er glanced at her disciple, who nodded slightly.
"Head Cao, what brings you to my humble place?" Niu Youdao asked with a smile. At the same time, he extended his hand and invited her to have some tea.
Cao Yu 'er had no intention of touching the teacup, but her attitude was very humble. "I heard that the people here call you Daoye. In that case, allow me to address you respectfully as Daoye."
Niu Youdao waved his hand. "You are too kind. The people here call me whatever they want. You cannot take it seriously."
