Although Niu Youdao was the focus of the Yan Kingdom's people's protection, he was only a part of the Yan Kingdom's cultivators. The Yan Kingdom's three major sects still had the right to speak here, so it was not up to him to make decisions.
Regarding Yan Baoru's joining, Niu Youdao didn't know if it was good or bad, so he didn't have any opinions.
However, before he confirmed with Yan Baoru, he told the people around him, "Don't let this woman get close to me."
Yun Ji was suspicious, "Is there a problem?"
It wasn't that there was a problem, but that he didn't know what it was. Previously, he saw Ximen Qing Kong, who was ranked number one on the Pill Rankings of Weiguo. Now, he met Yan Baoru, who was ranked number two. Although it was a coincidence, and Yan Baoru's words made sense, he was on high alert. Any movement would arouse his suspicions.
Here, many people wanted to kill him, and if he wanted to return alive, he had to be careful.
This was the bad thing about smart people, they tended to overthink things. For example, the fake 'Su Zhao' was also a coincidence, and it also aroused Niu Youdao's vigilance.
To put it bluntly, people like Niu Youdao would be suspicious of any coincidental encounters.
"Help me keep an eye on her." Niu Youdao didn't explain why he was suspicious. In short, before he could dispel his suspicions, he had to be careful.
After hearing what Niu Youdao said, it was hard for the people of Nanzhou not to be cautious. They all looked at Yan Baoru in a different light.
With one more person in the group, they continued forward.
Not long after, someone blocked their way again. This time, it wasn't a beautiful woman, but a man, an old man with a sword on his back.
Similarly, this old man's background wasn't small. He was ranked number six on the Pill Rankings, Wu Zhaoxing!
The one who spoke was Xiao Yao Palace's Elder Shan Hai, "Wu Zhaoxing, why are you blocking our way?"
Wu Zhaoxing said, "It's not a good idea to stay alone in this place for a year. It's better to find some people. At least, I don't have to do the chores myself. I'll wait here and join whichever gang I meet. If you don't mind, count me in. Don't worry, I have no use for spiritual seeds. "
Shan Hai was left speechless by these words.
The cultivators from the State of Yan looked at each other. The other party's words were more or less the same as Yan Baoru's. However, this was too much of a coincidence. They were both top experts on the Pill List. Had the two of them discussed this beforehand?
Not to mention them, even Yan Baoru couldn't help but have a strange expression, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She couldn't help but ask herself, "What's going on?"
The corners of Niu Youdao's mouth curled up into a mocking smile. While most people were not paying attention, he approached the Purple Golden Cave's Elder Yan Li and whispered a few words into his ear.
Yan Li looked back at him in surprise. Niu Youdao retreated without batting an eyelid.
Just when everyone felt that Yan Baoru and Wu Zhaoxing's consecutive appearances were suspicious, Yan Li appeared and convinced Shan Hai and Chu Fengping to accept Wu Zhaoxing as a member.
Yan Li's reason was that Wu Zhaoxing was his friend and he was the one who invited him, so there wouldn't be any problems.
Since he made such a guarantee, what else could the others say?
In front of everyone, Yan Li said to Wu Zhaoxing, "Brother Wu doesn't need to worry about food and lodging. During this trip, Brother Wu just needs to help protect Niu Youdao's safety."
Wu Zhaoxing glanced at Niu Youdao and met Niu Youdao's gaze. The latter revealed a slight smile.
"Alright!" Wu Zhaoxing nodded in agreement and walked directly towards Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao had warned Yan Baoru to be careful earlier. They didn't know what was going on with Wu Zhaoxing, but the two's consecutive appearances were indeed suspicious. Yun Ji and the others were suspicious and looked at Niu Youdao's reaction. Seeing Niu Youdao nod slightly, they made way and allowed Wu Zhaoxing to walk to Niu Youdao's side.
Seeing that Wu Zhaoxing was guarding Niu Youdao's side, Yan Baoru frowned slightly.
Many of the Yan Country cultivators saw this scene and sighed in their hearts. They realized that it was good to have people of status. They didn't have to do anything and even had experts to protect them in this place, unlike them who had to risk their lives.
They continued forward, but the atmosphere of the group became a little strange. The reason was that Yan Baoru and Wu Zhaoxing had consecutively appeared for the same reason …
This forest was indeed wide enough that they wouldn't be able to walk out of it without half a day's time. They didn't rush to walk out of this forest either. Before walking out of this forest, they decided to rest and reorganize.
This was because the trees in this forest were too tall. They were so tall that no other trees could grow in this forest. Spirit trees couldn't grow under the cover of time, so they could only find spirit trees after leaving this place.
Therefore, the massacre would only begin after they left this place. After the one-year period was up, the massacre would also end in this forest.
At present, the Heavenly Capital Secret Territory trip had just begun, so no one had harvested the spirit seed. Thus, for the time being, this place was relatively safe.
Most people would stay here to recuperate before they left this forest to begin the adventure of the Heavenly Capital Secret Territory. The Yan Country cultivators were no exception.
A group of cultivators used their spells to dig a hole in the trunk of a tree. It was just a big tree, but the hole that was dug in the trunk was enough to accommodate more than a thousand cultivators of the Yan Country.
The time here was different from the outside world. Night and day alternated, which was two days in the outside world.
Near dusk, Elder Chu Fengping of Spirit Sword Mountain ran to the tree hole where Niu Youdao was. He had something to talk to Niu Youdao about.
Inside the tree hole, Chu Fengping wanted to dismiss the other people. Niu Youdao nodded his head. After the other people left, he asked, "I wonder what Elder Chu wants me to do?"
Chu Fengping seemed to want to see his reaction clearly, so he also released the moon butterfly inside the tree hole.
In fact, the moon butterfly wouldn't live for long here. If he wanted his own moon butterfly to survive, he had to consume the spirit seed of the moon butterfly by mixing it into the moon butterfly's food.
Under the light of the moon butterfly, Chu Fengping stared at Niu Youdao for a while, and then Slowly said, "I have a female disciple. She's not bad, so I brought her to you."
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly in his heart. He had probably guessed what Chu Fengping was going to say. One by one, he seemed to have no other choice. He sighed and said, "And then?"
Chu Fengping said, "Although she's not a devastatingly beautiful woman, she's a good match for you. Marry her. You're a smart person, so you should understand what I mean. "
Niu Youdao said, "I seem to understand. It's just, is your disciple willing? I don't want to marry someone who doesn't want to marry me. "
Chu Fengping said, "You've come this far, so you can't turn back anymore. At this level, if you're still emotional, you're sorry to yourself, and also sorry to those who follow you. People have to shoulder their responsibilities according to their position. Similarly, is it important whether she's willing or not? "
Niu Youdao said, "She's a living person. As her Master, don't tell me you don't consider her feelings at all?"
Chu Fengping said, "Sometimes, young people are too naive and unrealistic. Besides, she's already agreed. Even if she's a little unwilling, as long as the two of you spend more time together, you'll naturally have feelings for each other. Don't think too much about it, I'm not as despicable and shameless as you think. It's precisely because I'm her Master that I have to think for her. After she marries you, the benefits she'll receive will probably be more than what she could exchange for a lifetime of hard work in the sect. Which parent doesn't want their daughter to marry well? This heart of mine treats her the same as her biological parents. She's also clear about what she'll receive, or else she wouldn't have agreed. "
Niu Youdao said, "Is it really for her good, Elder Chu, and not for yourself?"
Chu Fengping said, "If she's good, then as her Master, I'll naturally be good. If I'm good, then as my disciple, she'll naturally be good. Originally, I didn't want to come here, but the sect promised that I would take the lead in this matter, so I reluctantly agreed. Don't worry, I won't randomly pick a random person to marry you. She's a good person, so you don't have to worry about it because it's linked to interests. "
Niu Youdao said, "What if I don't agree?"
Chu Fengping said, "If you don't agree, if I can't get control of the Southern Region, is there any need for me to let Spirit Sword Mountain sacrifice themselves to protect you? Not protecting you is already a light punishment. If I hold you back, your situation will be even more dangerous. I advise you not to be impulsive. "
He didn't say it earlier, but only said it after entering the Secret Realm of Heaven Capital. Obviously, he had already planned it.
Niu Youdao said, "You also know my situation. Sha Rulai's requirements are too harsh. I almost have no way to survive. Do you have the heart to let your disciple marry a dead person?"
Chu Fengping said, "At the beginning, when you caused this trouble, I gave up the idea and blamed myself for being unlucky. Later, after my observation, I found that you don't seem to be worried at all. My Spirit Sword Mountain knows a little about your ability, and it's indeed not simple. Coupled with the appearance of Wu Zhaoxing, I decided to take a gamble! "
Niu Youdao joked, "In any case, it's just the sacrifice of a female disciple, or not a sacrifice. At most, she just has to sleep with me. There's nothing to lose, right?"
Chu Fengping said, "To get the first place, you need to gather the spirit seeds of all the people in Yan Mountain. It's not possible without the people of Spirit Sword Mountain. You have no choice."
Niu Youdao nodded. "Elder Chu is a practical person. Very well, I will seriously consider this matter. Give me some time."
Chu Fengping said, "My patience is limited. How long are you going to think about it?"
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and showed five fingers. "Five days! According to the five days here, within five days, I will give Elder Chu a definite answer! "
"Very well, five days it is!" Chu Fengping immediately turned around and left without saying anything else.
Niu Youdao then went out of the tree hole, went to Yan Li's tree hole, and directly sold Chu Fengping out.
After learning about Chu Fengping's secret behavior, Yan Li sneered again and again. "What a despicable and shameless guy. He's really shameless."
Niu Youdao said, "Elder Yan, I'll listen to your arrangement. If you say no, I'll immediately refuse him."
"Of course …" Yan Li raised his hand to stop him. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I'm very pleased that brother can be honest about this matter. However, for the time being, I can't refuse him. Otherwise, that old guy will be a burden. As for how to deal with it, let me think about it. "
Niu Youdao said, "Very well, I'll leave this matter to Elder Yan. By the way, I have something to do, so I need to leave. I hope Elder Yan can cooperate with me … "
After returning to his tree hole, Niu Youdao went to find Wu Zhaoxing.
