It was the High Heaven Pavilion's Elder Quan Taifeng, accompanied by two disciples.
Situ Yao and the others had naturally heard of him, but it was their first time seeing him in person.
Two groups of people came down. The gatekeeper asked them to wait for a moment and quickly went to report.
After a slight hesitation, Situ Yao stepped forward and greeted respectfully, "I have long heard of High Heaven Pavilion Elder Quan's name. I am the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, Situ Yao."
Quan Taifeng had also noticed this group of people just now. He could tell that they were from a certain sect, but he didn't recognize them when he saw their attire. If they were from a large sect, he should have had dealings with them. It was impossible for him not to recognize their attire, so he didn't take it seriously.
Hearing them introduce themselves, Quan Taifeng pondered for a moment and asked, "The Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion in the neighboring State of Zhao's Jin Province?"
Fortunately, they knew about the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, or else it would be awkward. Situ Yao smiled and said politely, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet Elder Quan here."
Quan Taifeng's expression turned dull. He glanced at him coldly and softly said, "En." He didn't look at him anymore, as if he had lost interest in talking.
The two disciples behind him looked at each other thoughtfully and occasionally sized up the group of people from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion.
It was better to be polite to the gatekeeper just now. Situ Yao didn't expect to make things awkward in public. Since the other party had such an attitude, he didn't say anything.
How rude! The group of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion disciples were indignant, but they didn't dare to say anything. They couldn't afford to offend the other party, so what could they do?
At this moment, another Black Jade Condor descended from the sky, and three people jumped down. They were three women in plain white robes.
They were from South Korea's Goddess Sect. Situ Yao and the others recognized them as soon as they saw their attire.
The gatekeeper immediately went to report.
"Elder Hui, what brings you here?" Quan Taifeng laughed out loud when he saw the person speaking.
The woman in the lead was the Goddess Sect's Elder Hui Qingping. Behind her were two accompanying disciples. She smiled and said, "What wind blew Elder Quan here is naturally what wind blew me here."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, each with their own ulterior motives.
Situ Yao was secretly frowning. Hui Qingping had already noticed them. Seeing a group of people outside the mountain gate, she thought that they were brought by Quan Taifeng and asked, "These friends look very unfamiliar. Are they friends of Elder Quan?"
Quan Taifeng sneered, "I can't get close to you, but I just happened to meet you. You're from Zhao Country's Gold Province's Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion." His tone had a hidden meaning.
Hui Qingping seemed to understand the deeper meaning of his words. She responded with an "Oh" and immediately looked away.
Being looked down upon in front of a group of disciples, Situ Yao felt really embarrassed. However, he could only quietly stand at the side, secretly praying that the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode could also be high and mighty one day.
After this provocation, the group of people from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode loosened their hearts a little.
However, they were also secretly shocked by Niu Youdao's side. They really didn't know that the three major sects of South Korea and the three major sects of Song Country were able to make people from the three major sects of South Korea and the three major sects of Song Country follow the rules here. When they arrived, they were shocked. They realized that Niu Youdao's power was far beyond their imagination. They all reflected on whether they were putting on airs in front of Niu Youdao previously.
Not long after, a Scarlet Hunting Eagle rushed over from the Thatched Cottage Villa.
This was deliberately arranged by Niu Youdao. When he heard that two major sects had arrived on Black Jade Condors, he immediately arranged for a Scarlet Hunting Eagle to come over.
The ones who came to welcome the guests were Yuan Gang and Duan Hu. This was because Niu Youdao knew Yuan Gang's character. He would rather break than bend.
The two of them jumped off their mounts. Yuan Gang's gaze swept across everyone. Even though he knew that they were important guests, he still stood there stiffly. He looked at everyone coldly, as though he was inspecting them.
The Scarlet Hunting Eagle that jumped out seemed to have suppressed the mounts of the two major sects in terms of class. Now, there was another person who didn't give them any face. Quan Taifeng and Hui Qingping subconsciously looked at each other. They could vaguely feel the power of the Thatched Cottage Villa!
Situ Yao muttered to himself. Niu Youdao was so arrogant. What was going on?
The Niu Youdao he had interacted with was quite polite and easy-going. It didn't feel like the Niu Youdao he knew was like this.
However, after seeing the Scarlet Hunting Eagle, he couldn't help but turn back to look at the large group of people riding on their mounts. He suddenly felt very shabby.
Hui Qingping stared at Yuan Gang and asked with a smile, "Are you from the Thatched Cottage Villa?"
"Yuan Gang!" Yuan Gang replied. He didn't want to waste time with her. Then, he extended his hand and invited, "Esteemed guests are here. Daoye invites you. Everyone, please follow me. Sect Leader Situ! "He had specially invited Situ Yao to ride on the Scarlet Hunting Eagle with him. It wouldn't be nice to leave him behind.
Now that they were in Niu Youdao's territory, coupled with the current situation, Situ Yao could only follow the host's wishes. He hopped on the Scarlet Hunting Eagle with Yuan Gang.
Hui Qingping, Quan Taifeng, and the rest also hopped on their mounts and took off. As for the people from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Abode, they were led in by Duan Hu with a smile.
At the entrance of the Thatched Cottage Villa, Niu Youdao personally came out to welcome the guests. The Sect Leaders of the Remaining Immortal Sect and the other two sects were all present.
Fei, Xia, and Zheng had originally heard that the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Abode, Situ Yao, was coming, so they specially came over to greet him. They wanted to take the opportunity to befriend him.
The reason why they knew that Situ Yao was coming wasn't because Situ Yao had sent a message to inform them. It was because on the surface of the Southern Region, anyone who changed mounts at a courier station on the official road couldn't hide it from the Thatched Cottage Villa, especially since Situ Yao and his group didn't hide their identities. The Thatched Cottage Villa knew roughly when they arrived and where they were. This was the benefit of having power in the secular world.
The three of them had originally come to welcome Situ Yao. Who would have thought that the big shots of the Han and Song Sects would appear? They instantly became a little nervous. They felt that the Sect Leaders of small sects like them weren't presentable. If they weren't careful, they might make things awkward for themselves.
Guan Fangyi walked out of the villa while twisting her waist and fanning herself. She grumbled, "It's not like Situ Yao doesn't know him. You even came out to welcome him personally. Is there a need to make such a grand occasion?"
She had just been called out by someone sent by Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao said, "Hui Qingping from the Goddess Cult and Quan Taifeng from the High Heaven Pavilion are here. Do you know these two?"
Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised. "I've heard of Hui Qingping, but I don't know her."
As for Quan Taifeng, she didn't mention him. Niu Youdao understood what she meant. He glanced at the three Sect Leaders, who were a little uneasy. Slowly, he said, "When you face the people from those two sects later, all of you must be a little more domineering. Don't weaken the momentum of our Thatched Cottage Villa!"
The three Sect Leaders looked at each other. Xia Hua asked tentatively, "Domineering? Is it appropriate to be domineering towards them? "She muttered in her heart," Can we afford to offend them? "
Niu Youdao reminded her, "So what if they're from the big sects? We're not under their control! These people are used to being high and mighty. Even if you bow and scrape, they think it's only right. Even if you kneel down, you won't get anything good. Instead, you'll be looked down upon. In the current situation, those who come don't have good intentions, and those who have good intentions don't come. If they think that you're easy to bully, they won't be polite and will push you step by step. There's no need to force yourself into a dilemma. Don't ruin my business. Straighten your backs and speak. Abide by the basic etiquette of hospitality and don't offend anyone! "
Hearing his words, the three Sect Leaders understood. Even though they were still a little nervous, they knew what to do. After all, they weren't three-year-old children. They knew what to do. On the surface, they seemed to have straightened their backs and seemed to have gained some confidence.
Guan Fangyi glanced at Niu Youdao from the corner of her eyes, and a hint of admiration flashed across her eyes. At this moment, she truly felt that the Celestial Retaining Sect, Fuyun Sect, and Lingxiu Mountain had completely surrendered to this guy!
She also truly felt what it meant to have one soldier and a whole nest of generals. A group of people led by a lion could not rise.
Of course, she also admitted that Lao Xiong Yuan Fang was an exception.
In short, she truly felt that the reason why the Thatched Cottage Villa could survive to this day was because of this person.
As they spoke, three black dots appeared in front of them. The guests had arrived.
In the blink of an eye, the Red Hunting Eagle landed, followed by two Black Jade Condors. Standing with his sword, Niu Youdao smiled and welcomed the guests.
Situ Yao stepped forward and greeted, "Brother Niu."
"Sect Leader Situ, you've come from afar. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you." Niu Youdao smiled and bowed.
"You're welcome." Situ Yao patted his arm and tilted his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him and that he should greet his guests first.
From their actions, as well as Niu Youdao's position in the middle, Hui Qingping and Quan Taifeng's gazes had already locked onto Niu Youdao and were scrutinizing him. They could tell that he was the owner of the Thatched Cottage Villa.
"Yo, you look familiar. Are you Elder Quan from the High Heaven Pavilion?" Guan Fangyi suddenly laughed.
With an acquaintance, there was no need to be too stiff. Quan Taifeng also laughed. "Matchmaker, I haven't seen you for many years. You're still as beautiful as before."
Guan Fangyi walked over. "Thank you for your auspicious words."
Hearing that this was Jing Qi's Matchmaker, Hui Qingping couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Slut, slut …
Guan Fangyi could also see the disdain in Niu Youdao's eyes. Even so, she did not change her smile. She was already used to women's attitudes towards her. She took the opportunity to strike up a conversation and took the initiative to introduce the two of them to Niu Youdao.
She followed by Niu Youdao's side. Niu Youdao often asked her to play this role. She was also good at this.
"Niu Youdao, I've heard of your name for a long time. Haha, you're young and promising. Matchmaker, you didn't follow the wrong person." Quan Taifeng said in a relaxed tone.
With the Matchmaker around, he couldn't put on airs. It wasn't because the Matchmaker had any status, but because he had seen what kind of person he was in the past. He couldn't put on an act.
Hui Qingping conformed to the norms and was more polite, while Niu Youdao was calm and collected.
Fei, Xia, and Zheng also took the initiative to greet them. Although they were nervous, their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
Hui Qingping and Quan Taifeng could feel that this place was different from other small places. They were a group of people with confidence.
On the other hand, Situ Yao was a little puzzled. Even if Celestial Retaining Sect, Fuyun Sect, and Lingxiu Mountain were combined, they wouldn't be as powerful as his Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion. Looking at them and then at himself, he felt that he was too cheap before.
"Esteemed guests have come from afar. How can you stand at the door and talk? Please come in!" Niu Youdao led the guests in.
They walked in the front row and talked cheerfully. Although Situ Yao was at the front row beside Niu Youdao, he was like a foil and didn't say a word. After knowing that this was the first time Niu Youdao met these two, he began to ponder the purpose of the two sects' visit.
The three sect masters greeted the disciples of the four sects. Their attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
