After the encircling army retreated, Long Xiu waved his hand to indicate that they should leave. Niu Youdao had no choice but to accompany him.
After walking around the villa and returning to the entrance, Long Xiu asked, "This place is ordinary. Don't tell me that you couldn't find a better place in Nanzhou. Why did you stay here?"
Niu Youdao replied, "I cherished my life!"
Long Xiu didn't understand. "What logic is this? Can't living in a better environment save one's life?"
Niu Youdao replied, "Palace Lord, most places with a good environment and beautiful mountains are suitable for cultivators to live in. However, they aren't suitable for an army to gather and disperse. Once in danger, the mountains are steep and the terrain is steep. It's difficult for an army to move and set up formations immediately. If I didn't stay here, I wouldn't have been able to defend against the Imperial Court's attack. "
Long Xiu was surprised but nodded in agreement. "I see. You're telling the truth."
Niu Youdao replied, "In front of Palace Lord, everything I say is true. There's no need to lie."
Long Xiu smiled wordlessly and walked into the villa with his hands behind his back.
Niu Youdao didn't know what he wanted to do. Seeing that Long Xiu didn't intend to leave, he didn't chase him away. He immediately ordered people to clean up the main courtyard for Long Xiu and the others.
Xiao Yao Palace's group stayed in the main courtyard. Long Xiu looked at the environment. It was simple and elegant, not luxurious at all.
He looked at the room that Niu Youdao usually stayed in and nodded. He praised Niu Youdao to the side, "It's rare for you to have such achievements at such a young age without being arrogant and extravagant."
Niu Youdao wasn't there and didn't hear the praise.
Yi Shu said disdainfully, "Maybe he did it on purpose for Master. Maybe he ordered someone to clean it up just now."
Long Xiu shook his head. The layout of the house was obvious. With a simple and elegant background, it couldn't be cleaned up on the spot. He didn't say anything.
A golden wing landed in the courtyard. Soon, a disciple came with a secret letter. "Palace Lord, the sect sent a message saying that Mister Yu Cang criticized the Imperial Court and wants an explanation from the three major sects."
Long Xiu frowned slightly. He took the letter and read it. It was easy to guess the contents.
The reason for the condemnation was naturally because Mister Yu Cang's sister-in-law and nephew were in Thatched Cottage Villa. The sudden attack had threatened the safety of his people. Yu Cang was furious and demanded an explanation.
After reading it, he returned the letter. Long Xiu scoffed. "Explanation? Who did he think he was? Taking advantage of others? A Loose Cultivator, relying on his connections, really thinks that he is someone important. He actually dares to criticize Xiao Yao Palace. "
The disciple asked, "Don't you need to reply?"
Long Xiu remained silent for a while. Although Long Xiu said that, Yu Cang did have some connections in various countries. There was no need to offend him. After thinking for a while, Long Xiu replied, "Let's ask our family to give us a polite reply. As long as we don't offend anyone, it will be fine. As for an explanation, does Xiao Yao Palace need to give him an explanation?"
"Yes." The disciple accepted the order and left.
Long Xiu turned to Yi Shu and said, "Go look for Niu Youdao and ask him to accompany you on a tour around the manor."
Yi Shu was stunned. "You want me to go shopping with him? Didn't I just go shopping? "
Long Xiu reprimanded, "I'm not asking you to go shopping. Look at the situation inside and outside the manor, the distribution of the three sects, and the surrounding terrain. Open your eyes."
Yi Shu thought that she understood and solemnly accepted the order and left.
Long Xiu walked out of the door and under the eaves, he looked at the back of his last disciple as she left with a complicated gaze …
Situ Yao and the others had just arrived and were about to leave again. Niu Youdao personally sent them out of the mountain gate to express his apologies.
Situ Yao originally didn't want to leave so soon, but he had no choice. Long Xiu suddenly came. As a person who colluded with Niu Youdao between the two countries, he couldn't stay under Long Xiu's eyes for too long. Who knew what was wrong with Long Xiu's brain and whether he would cause trouble or not.
Moreover, he had already confirmed that Niu Youdao would restrain the troops of Southern Prefecture and make things worse. Since he was worried, it didn't matter if he stayed or not.
"Sect Master Situ, I've really neglected you this time." Niu Youdao cupped his hands and apologized.
"You also had no choice. I understand. Stay here, farewell." Situ Yao and his group cupped their hands and bid farewell. Immediately, they mounted their horses and galloped away.
Niu Youdao watched them leave with cupped hands. Duan Hu, who was beside him, suddenly reminded him in a low voice, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao turned around and saw Yi Shu standing not far away, looking coldly at them.
Seeing this woman's face as if she owed him money, Niu Youdao felt sick in his heart. However, he still walked over cheerfully, "Miss Yi, why are you here?"
Yi Shu sneered, "What? Do I see that you have a guilty conscience?"
Niu Youdao was puzzled. He found that this woman really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even her master would turn a blind eye to it, but she directly pointed it out.
Although he was puzzled, he wouldn't argue with her. Instead, he smiled and explained, "Miss Yi, you can't look at things on the surface. If you think about it from the other side, as long as the State of Zhao can't take down Jinzhou, Jinzhou will be my, Yan's, barrier in the southwest. If you think about it this way, you can understand my painstaking efforts."
Yi Shu sneered, "Painstaking efforts? I think it's your painstaking efforts to gather troops to strengthen yourself! "
Forget it, he couldn't continue talking to this woman. Niu Youdao changed the topic, "Miss Yi, is there something you need from me?"
Yi Shu proudly raised her chin. Her fair neck was like that of a white swan. She looked around and said, "Accompany me for a walk."
"Accompany you for a walk?" Niu Youdao's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly. He looked behind her and saw no one else. He tried to ask, "Just the two of us?"
His words sounded wrong. Yi Shu's expression turned cold, "Don't think about it the wrong way! I just came back and wanted to take a look. "
It would be strange if Niu Youdao did not think about it the wrong way. Long Xiu's words were very clear. He immediately said, "I will find a few people to accompany Miss."
Yi Shu was angry, "Am I not qualified for you to accompany me personally?"
Niu Youdao quickly waved his hand, "Absolutely not. Palace Lord is in the villa. I am afraid that Palace Lord has instructions for me and it is inconvenient for me to leave the villa."
Yi Shu's expression softened, "You are thinking too much. This is Palace Lord's intention."
She is not Niu Youdao's opponent. With a few words, she exposed herself in front of Niu Youdao.
Fine, Niu Youdao understood Long Xiu's intention. Sure enough, he did not guess wrongly. He stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"
The two of them watched from the outside and wandered in the mountains.
Along the way, Niu Youdao observed her and found that she was quite pretty and had a good figure. However, he was not interested in this kind of woman. Her looks did not meet his standards and he did not like her arrogant and conceited temperament.
Yi Shu looked at them seriously. When Niu Youdao did not speak, she did not speak either. When Niu Youdao took the initiative to ask, she would only reply with a few words.
Gradually, Niu Youdao saw through it. After beating around the bush for a while, he confirmed that this woman was still in the dark. Long Xiu, the pimp, was creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
After knowing what was going on, Niu Youdao suddenly praised, "Miss Yi is really beautiful."
Yi Shu glanced at him coldly. She felt disgusted when she recalled the scene of him hugging Guan Fangyi. She said sarcastically, "You must have said this to many women, right?"
Niu Youdao, "Absolutely not! To be honest, I have admired you for a long time. In fact, the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you … "
"Shut up!" Yi Shu warned him coldly, "Don't dirty my ears. If you continue to be so long-winded, I will cut off your tongue."
Niu Youdao, "I am really sincere towards you. I have decided that when I return to the villa, I will propose to the Palace Master and ask the Palace Master to betroth you to me."
"I dare you to spout nonsense!" Yi Shu was furious. She pulled out half of the sword in her hand to threaten him.
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anymore." Niu Youdao quickly waved his hand and begged for mercy. After he put down his hand, he made a hand gesture to the people behind him to stop.
Behind him, Elder Chen and Second Brother Wu followed from a distance. When they saw Yi Shu pulling out her sword, they almost dodged. However, after seeing Niu Youdao's hand gesture, they forced themselves to stop.
The man and woman continued to wander in the mountains. When they reached the top of a mountain, they saw a house in the mountains. Yi Shu took the initiative to ask, "What is that place?"
"Oh!" Niu Youdao took the opportunity to get closer. He pointed his sword and said, "That is where the Immortal Retaining Sect is located." His other hand quietly reached out and directly pinched Yi Shu's butt.
Elder Chen and Second Brother Wu, who were closely monitoring the situation, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Oh my god! What was Daoye doing?
The two of them thought that they were seeing things. What happened next proved that they were not mistaken.
"Ah!" Yi Shu suddenly screamed and directly attacked with her palm.
"Ah!" Niu Youdao also screamed in pain. He was sent flying by the palm and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Clang! Yi Shu was so shocked that she immediately pulled out her sword.
Elder Chen and Second Brother Wu hurriedly moved to block the attack. Yi Shu rushed over and attacked while Elder Chen blocked.
Second Brother Wu helped Niu Youdao up. "Daoye, are you alright?"
"Go, quickly go. Don't hurt Miss Yi." Niu Youdao shouted. Second Brother Wu immediately helped him and ran. Elder Chen fought and retreated at the same time, covering the rear.
Yi Shu was so angry that her face turned red and white. She was really risking her life. Fortunately, her cultivation was not high, so she was at a disadvantage against Elder Chen.
Second Brother Wu helped Niu Youdao and fled into the Immortal Retaining Sect.
Fei Changliu heard the news and came out. When he saw Niu Youdao's bloody mouth and clothes, he got a shock. "Daoye, what happened?" He raised his head to look at the rumbling sounds of battle outside.
"Cut the crap. Let me hide for a while …" Niu Youdao called him over and quickly gave him some instructions.
Soon, Elder Chen gave up resisting and ran away.
Yi Shu carried her sword and dashed into the Immortal Retaining Sect. The disciples of the Immortal Retaining Sect didn't stop her and allowed her to search everywhere in the Immortal Retaining Sect.
Niu Youdao hid here and there.
This place was so big and filled with his people. How could Yi Shu find him alone? When she came here, Niu Youdao immediately went to the other side. There was no way she could find him.
"Niu Youdao, get out here!" Yi Shu shouted angrily when she couldn't find him.
It was useless to shout. Eventually, she flew back to the Thatched Cottage Manor to gather the people of Xiao Yao Palace.
Elder Chen had already returned to the Thatched Cottage Manor. He found Guan Fangyi and pulled her to the side. "Daoye was injured by Yi Shu. He is now hiding in the Immortal Retaining Sect."
"Ah!" Guan Fangyi got a shock and said angrily, "What happened? That woman's ability shouldn't be as strong as Kun Linshu. How could she injure Daoye? "
