However, he still wanted to fight for it. In his current situation, the more helpers he had, the more risks he could withstand.
Thus, he ignored Chu Fengping's merciless humiliation and smiled at Yan Li. "Elder Yan, Senior Wu Zhaoxing is your friend. Can you let Senior Wu come with me?"
He chose Wu Zhaoxing first because he hoped that others could see that he still had experts on his side. He wanted to give everyone a little confidence and use this as a way to win as much as he could.
From another perspective, it meant that he had no confidence in the people he had brought. Otherwise, he could have just greeted them and left. There was no need to beat around the bush.
They're obviously your own people! Yan Li had the urge to roll his eyes when he heard this, but he had no choice. He had to play along and finish the show. It was not good for him to expose himself.
Chu Fengping was already staring coldly at Yan Li. 'I've given you face, are you trying to undermine me?'
Yan Li understood what he meant and said expressionlessly, "Friends are friends, but I can't order him around. I won't force him to do anything. Whether he wants to go with you or not is not up to me to decide. You should ask him himself."
Niu Youdao turned around and cupped his hands towards Wu Zhaoxing. "Senior Wu, I will fulfill my promise. I hope that you will lend me a hand."
Promise? Wu Zhaoxing really wanted to ask him what nonsense he was talking about. What promise did he give him?
Chu Fengping immediately stared at Wu Zhaoxing, as if giving him a silent warning.
However, Wu Zhaoxing pretended not to see it and said with a faint nod, "Fine! I'll go with you. "
Chu Fengping's face darkened, and the gaze he shot at Wu Zhaoxing obviously harbored malicious intent. The latter still pretended not to see it.
Niu Youdao then looked at Situ Yao, "Sect Master Situ, I hope that your sect can travel with me."
Even though he had already made it clear, he still didn't want to give up. He still wanted to fight for it.
The people who came from the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion this time were the true top experts of the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion. Moreover, there were quite a lot of them, a total of fifty people. If they could be roped into the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, it would be a great help.
Chu Fengping raised his eyebrows and interfered, "Situ Yao, as a Sect Master, you should consider the overall situation. You should know what you can do and what you can't do. Don't look for trouble for yourself. It's not good to let your emotions affect your decisions. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences! "
What did it mean to be roasted over a fire? At this moment, Situ Yao, who had a difficult expression on his face, felt this way.
On one side was an ally that had cooperated with him for many years. He had kept his word to the Gold Province, and had helped his Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Manor time and time again.
Not to mention anything else, it was Niu Youdao who had risked the threat of the army of the State of Zhao to allow them to enter the Nanzhou to avoid disaster. It was also Niu Youdao who had used the forces of the Nanzhou to fight the army of the State of Zhao with the Nanzhou Coalition at all costs.
No matter what, the Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion should not abandon Niu Youdao at this moment.
However, the reality was cruel. It was no secret that many forces in Heavenly Capital Secret Territory wanted to deal with Niu Youdao. If they went with Niu Youdao, it would be tantamount to seeking their own death. Moreover, they would also offend Spirit Sword Mountain, which would be even more troublesome. Outside, Spirit Sword Mountain also had a lot of say in Yan and the Jinzhou army. Even if they could go back, it would not be good for Spirit Sword Mountain to deal with Yan's own people. Would it be difficult to deal with an outsider of his Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion?
It was already difficult to make a choice about life and death. After recovering the Jinzhou, Spirit Sword Mountain still had a lot of say in whether or not they would return the Jinzhou to Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion. If Spirit Sword Mountain stood in their way, the situation of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion would be very difficult. How many disciples' lives would be at stake?
If Niu Youdao could go back alive, with Niu Youdao's influence, he would naturally be able to help. But the key was, could Niu Youdao go back alive?
The chance was very slim. This time, he was given up by Yan's force. Without the protection of Yan's force, it could be said that Niu Youdao had no hope of going back alive.
Situ Yao looked embarrassed. "Brother, there's no need to be like this. We're all on the same side..."
Chu Fengping threw a sentence at him, "Are we on the same side? Whether we're on the same side or not depends on the decision of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion! "
Yan Li and Shan Hai looked at each other. The two of them knew that Chu Fengping was angry out of shame this time.
However, putting themselves in Chu Fengping's shoes, the two of them could understand where Chu Fengping's anger came from. It was not a glorious thing to give away a female disciple. One had to be thick-skinned to do it. Who knew that Niu Youdao didn't know what's good for him? Anyone would be angry out of shame. If it weren't for someone stopping him, he would probably want to kill Niu Youdao!
Situ Yao was very embarrassed, but he still helped to intercede, "Elder Chu, if there's anything that can be discussed, if there's any contradiction, it can be solved through discussion. What can't be discussed? I think we can talk about it again... "
Chu Fengping interrupted him with another sentence, "I'm asking you which side to go, not to be a peacemaker. Whether you want to go or stay, you have to make a prompt decision. I don't have time to listen to your long-winded talk!"
"Little Brother!" Situ Yao had no other choice. He cupped his hands towards Niu Youdao with an embarrassed expression, "This is not my personal matter. I hope you can understand my difficulties. I'm really sorry!"
Once he said this, his attitude was very clear. The upper echelons of Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion were also very embarrassed. They avoided Niu Youdao's gaze in shame.
Niu Youdao had helped Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion so many times. Furthermore, they were allies. Not helping them at this time was no different from hitting them when they were down.
Especially Elder Li Wuhua, his face was full of shame. Niu Youdao could be said to have saved his son's life!
Chu Fengping's mood seemed to be a lot better. He had a smug expression on his face. He looked at Niu Youdao with a slightly mocking expression, as if he was saying, this is the result of offending me!
Niu Youdao smiled, the corner of his mouth hooked up, "Sect Master Situ, you're exaggerating. I understand. I won't force you!"
The key was that he couldn't force him. What else could he do but face it calmly?
Niu Youdao looked at the group of people from Great Zen Mountain. When they saw Niu Youdao looking at them, they either turned their heads to the side to admire the scenery, looked up at the sky, or lowered their heads to look for ants.
Their attitude had already explained everything. Niu Youdao swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Even Ten Thousand Grotto-Heaven Mansion, which had such a deep relationship with him, made such a decision. There was no need to talk about Great Zen Mountain, which was his competitor.
It was useless to say it. There was no need to say it. It would be asking for trouble.
Niu Youdao looked at Yan Baoru in the crowd. He asked with a smile, "Beauty Yan, are you interested in coming with me?"
"..." Yan Baoru was stunned. She didn't expect Niu Youdao to mention her. She was surprised and a little confused. Did they have any relationship? They didn't seem to have any contact. They didn't even talk to each other.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her.
Niu Youdao also looked at her with a smile. He was waiting for her reply.
Yun Ji and her son were also a little surprised. Situ Yao and the others were also a little surprised. Niu Youdao had instructed them to be careful of Yan Baoru and not let her get close to Niu Youdao. What was the meaning of Niu Youdao pulling Yan Baoru away now? Was he really at the end of his rope?
Chu Fengping spoke again. "Yan Baoru, don't be blind. Otherwise, you won't look good."
"Elder Chu, don't scare me. I won't fall for it!" Yan Baoru replied nonchalantly. She wanted to leave with Niu Youdao. However, if she went with Niu Youdao just because he said so, wouldn't it be too easy? She asked, "Niu Youdao, I can go with you. What's the reason?"
Niu Youdao held his sword with one hand and praised himself with the other. "You are a woman. I am a man. Moreover, I am handsome and strong. Are you satisfied with this reason?"
This reason made everyone speechless. Many people looked at each other. They realized that this fellow was still in the mood to joke.
"Hehe …" The charming and enchanting Yan Baoru giggled. She bent forward and backward. She pointed at Niu Youdao. "Good! Based on this reason, I will go with you. "
"Forget it!" Niu Youdao refused with a beaming smile. He lifted his chin towards Chu Fengping and said, "Elder Chu, you look unhappy. It's better if I don't implicate you. Take it that I didn't say what I just said. I take it back!"
"..." Yan Baoru was stunned. She noticed the flash of understanding in Niu Youdao's eyes. She immediately understood and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Previously, she thought that Niu Youdao was trying to grab at a straw. It was not until Niu Youdao suddenly regretted his decision that she realized she had fallen for Niu Youdao's trap. Niu Youdao was using this opportunity to test her.
Others might not know what she meant, but she herself was the clearest about her intentions. Thus, she was sensitive enough to sense the situation. With a flip of his hand, Niu Youdao found out who she was coming for!
Everyone was surprised. Yan Baoru had agreed to go with him, but Niu Youdao had rejected her?
Niu Youdao beckoned to the three female disciples from the Remaining Immortal Sect. "Let's go!"
With that, he turned and left.
After a few steps, Yun Huan called out softly, "Brother Niu."
Niu Youdao turned and saw that the three female disciples had not left with him. Instead, they were standing uneasily on the spot.
Chu Fengping glanced at them and a teasing smile appeared on his face.
Slowly, Niu Youdao turned around and asked, "Are the three of you going to stay as well?"
The three girls were Dong Jinhuan, An Miao'er and Lin Feiyan. They were embarrassed and uneasy by Niu Youdao's question.
That's right. The three of them had come here to become Niu Youdao's women. However, they did not expect the situation to turn out this way.
The high and mighty Niu Youdao in their hearts had turned into a stray dog in the blink of an eye. A tall branch had turned into a withered branch, unable to withstand any wind or rain. If they continued to follow Niu Youdao, they would be courting death. The three of them did not want to die.
The three of them now had a reason to comfort themselves. From the beginning to the end, they did not receive any benefits from Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao did not even look them in the eye. They were young, beautiful, and had a bright future ahead of them. Why would they follow Niu Youdao, who did not take them seriously, to their deaths?
But Niu Youdao's deterrence had been in the Thatched Cottage Villa for a long time after all. Faced with Niu Youdao's question, the three of them looked at each other uneasily, not daring to make a sound.
"Interesting." Chu Fengping laughed heartily and said to boost their courage, "Don't worry, we are all Yan cultivators. With me here, speak your mind. There is no need to be afraid of him."
With someone backing them up, Dong Jinzhu replied weakly, "Daoye, the three of us have limited abilities. I'm afraid we won't be able to help Daoye. We don't want to be a burden to Daoye."
The other two also nodded weakly in agreement.
In an instant, everyone looked at Niu Youdao with pity. "Sigh!" Situ Yao lowered his head and sighed.
Niu Youdao was very surprised. The three of them could be considered his subordinates. Moreover, their masters had repeatedly told them to listen to him. He really did not expect that the three of them would betray him in public!
At this moment, the fickleness of the world and the warmth and coldness of the human heart gave a huge impact!
