She didn't want to beg anymore. Being born in such a family, she knew all too well that it would be useless even if she knelt down for her nephew. Her gifts would be in vain.
Tian Yu, the Majordomo, stood at the side with her head lowered. She remained silent as if she heard nothing.
Shang Jianxiong stared at Shang Youlan's back as she left. Slowly, he said, "Auntie, I still say the same thing. At this time, whoever has the military power will have the right to speak. Maybe you can go to Shang Chaozong and have a try! "
Of course, he didn't want Shang Chaozong to be powerful, but he had no other choice in the current situation. He said this because he hoped that Shang Youlan could try to persuade Shang Chaozong, even though he knew the result was unlikely to change.
Because there were some things that even Shang Chaozong couldn't decide. After all, the world was still in the hands of cultivators.
Shang Youlan stopped for a moment. Apparently, she heard his words and left in tears.
She left this place, the Imperial Palace, the place where she was born and raised, the place that was both familiar and strange to her, the place where she had experienced so many joys and sorrows. She didn't want to come back anymore because she clearly understood that from the day she got married, this place was no longer her home …
At the frontline of the war between Yan and Zhao, a man and three women arrived late and were stopped outside the Yan military camp.
They were none other than Zhao Dengxuan, Dong Jinhuan, An Miao 'er, and Lin Feiyan. They were heading straight for the Thatched Cottage Villa but changed their route to come here when they heard the news of the war between the two countries.
There were disciples of Xiao Yao Palace here who knew Zhao Dengxuan. However, the military camp had its own rules. They were only allowed to enter after strict verification.
Hearing that the three rebellious disciples had returned, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao were furious and ordered their men to bring them over.
The three of them wanted to teach the three rebellious disciples a lesson, but Zhao Dengxuan suddenly appeared.
The three sects weren't Niu Youdao and didn't have the guts to disrespect the people of Xiao Yao Palace. Instead, they endured Zhao Dengxuan's nonsense. After all, Zhao Dengxuan wasn't an ordinary disciple of Xiao Yao Palace. His teacher was an Elder of Xiao Yao Palace.
The three women cowered and bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.
Sweeping a glance at Dong Jinhuan, Fei Changliu said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhao, it's not that I don't want to give you face, but I'm afraid that you and I can't make a decision on this matter. You have to ask Niu Youdao to make a decision!"
Zhao Dengxuan nodded, "I understand Sect Leader Fei's intentions, and I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, leave Niu Youdao to me. Before that, I hope the three sects won't make things difficult for the three of them, and I'll give them an explanation. What do you think?"
What do you think? What else could they do? After Zhao Dengxuan left, the three families immediately went to look for Gongsun Bu and reported the situation to Niu Youdao.
After returning to his own tent, Xia Hua, the sect master of Lingxiu Mountain, glared at Lin Feiyan, who was trembling as she waited inside. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a disgrace!"
There was a palm print on Lin Feiyan's face. It was her teacher who had just slapped her. At this moment, she knelt down and cried, "Sect Master, I was forced to do that. I really had no way out …" Crying, she recounted the situation in the Secret Realm.
Her teacher stood at the side with an unbearable expression. How shameful. Everyone knew about this matter, and it was her disciple, it was really shameful.
Xia Hua chuckled and shook her head, "No way out? There were so many people in the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode, and Niu Youdao had already protected them. Do you think he would care about the few of you? "
Tears streamed down Lin Feiyan's face, "I was foolish and ignorant, but the people from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Abode had also betrayed Daoye at that time. They were the ones who betrayed me first, and that's why I had no other choice." She also regretted it, but how could she have known that the situation would end up like this?
Xia Hua asked, "What about the man who had an affair with you? Why didn't he come out to protect you? Do you think that Zhao Dengxuan can protect you? Does he think that his identity in Xiao Yao Palace can scare Daoye? That arrogant guy probably doesn't know that Xiao Yao Palace's Elder, Guo Qingkong, was killed by Daoye. This time, Daoye forcefully provoked the war and didn't give the three major sects any face. What can the three major sects do to Daoye? What qualifications does Zhao Dengxuan have to protect you? "
Lin Feiyan choked with fear.
Xia Hua said, "Do you think that your teacher had some dirty thoughts when he asked you to go to the Secret Realm to serve Niu Youdao? Fine, I admit that. But if you don't go to the Secret Realm and go to the Thatched Cottage Villa, would you be willing to go? Don't think that I don't know that all the female disciples in the sect want to marry Niu Youdao. He is young and single, and he has power and influence. All the girls' eyes light up when they see him. It's just that they don't have the chance to climb up to him. "
"Once I mentioned going to the Secret Realm, none of them were willing to go. They want to climb up to him, but they don't want to take the risk. Girls, how can there be such a good thing? Does Niu Youdao lack women? If he wants, he only needs to say the word and he can get all kinds of women. How can he be interested in a beauty like you? He doesn't lack women, he only lacks his own people! "
"Going to the Secret Realm is dangerous, but opportunity and danger coexist. Do you know what you've missed? If you had gone through the danger with Niu Youdao this time and experienced life and death together with him, you would belong to him once you come out, even if you don't devote yourself to him. You would no longer be the little disciple of the Lingxiu Mountain that he didn't even look at. In his eyes, you would be the only one by his side. In the future, you can go to the Thatched Cottage Villa at any time. You will have a share of all the benefits in the future! "
"An individual and a group are different. The group has to do things for everyone's benefit, but an individual has to have a standpoint! It's okay for the group to make another choice if it's not for the individual's benefit. If an individual makes another choice, he or she will be a traitor! "
"Before you went, didn't you feel that the sect had wronged you by doing this? Girl, they didn't pick anyone else but you. It was indeed unfair, but they also gave you a great opportunity, but you missed it. You missed the chance to become Niu Youdao's confidant. There won't be another opportunity like this in the future. How foolish! "
Lin Feiyan kowtowed to the ground and cried a mess. She understood, she understood, she regretted it, she really regretted it.
…
The sky was high and the land was wide. The mountains and rivers changed according to the four seasons. The flourishing and withering went with the flow. Nothing was forced to change, so the people who liked to force change were those who wandered between the mountains and rivers.
By the lake, Niu Youdao and Yu Cang strolled side by side, looking at the mountains and rivers around them and chatting happily.
Although Waning Moon Pavilion was busy, Yu Cang still insisted on meeting Niu Youdao. He couldn't be at ease if he didn't see him. At this juncture, he was afraid that Niu Youdao would change his mind.
Once there was an unforeseen event, the State of Zhao would be freed up. At this time, Waning Moon Pavilion, which had just risen up, wouldn't be able to withstand the State of Zhao's counterattack.
After talking for a while, they didn't stay long and bade farewell.
Before leaving, Yu Cang turned back and nodded at Guan Fangyi and Wu Zhaoxing, who were not far away. His gaze paused on Wu Zhaoxing's face for a while, feeling a little puzzled. There were some things that he couldn't figure out.
It was one thing for the matchmaker who had stayed in Qi Capital's Fufang Garden for many years to be dead set on Niu Youdao. But what was up with this Wu Zhaoxing? He was an expert ranked sixth on the Alchemy List. How did he become Niu Youdao's subordinate?
After watching Yu Cang soar into the sky, Guan Fangyi walked over and asked, "Everything was fine. Why did you scare him?"
What she meant by 'scare' was that when Niu Youdao had been in contact with Yu Cang recently, he suddenly said in a letter to Yu Cang that he was under a lot of pressure. That shocked Yu Cang so much that he wanted to meet with Niu Youdao no matter what.
Niu Youdao's hands rested on the hilt of his sword. He said indifferently, "When it's time to scare him, we still have to scare him. He has to understand that everything is not for nothing. I can't let the three major factions of the State of Yan control the negotiating power with Waning Moon Pavilion."
Guan Fangyi thought for a while and understood. She had to make Waning Moon Pavilion stand firmly on their side, lest they feel that the three major factions of the State of Yan were powerful enough to ignore them and discuss the cooperation directly. She had to give Waning Moon Pavilion a warning so that they would always remember who was in control of the forces of the State of Nanzhou. They could disrupt Waning Moon Pavilion's plans at any time. For example, if the State of Zhao was able to mobilize their forces if there was an internal strife in the State of Yan!
"Sigh!" Guan Fangyi couldn't help but sigh. She felt that things were getting more and more serious, to the point where every step was frightening. The people on the ship seemed to have been in a stormy sea and could capsize at any time. Fortunately, he was able to steer the ship steadily.
Thinking back to the troubles she had in the Capital of Qi, she realized that those troubles were nothing compared to what they were now. One mishap here could cost them their lives.
"What are you sighing about?" Niu Youdao raised his chin at the paper in her hand. "Another message from the frontline?"
Guan Fangyi said, "Yes. It's someone looking for you. They couldn't get in touch with you and went to the Prince."
Niu Youdao said, "Nothing special. Let's not worry about it for now."
Guan Fangyi took out a piece of paper and said, "There are two special messages. The three factions of the Celestial Retaining Sect have sent word that the three disciples who betrayed you have returned … "She briefly explained the contents of the paper and asked," They want to know how you are going to deal with them. "
Niu Youdao really wouldn't have thought about it if she hadn't mentioned it. Speaking of which, he pondered in silence for a while and said, "Reply to them. Give Zhao Dengxuan some face and don't make things difficult for them."
Guan Fangyi stared at him and said, "You're going to let these three traitors off just like that?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "It's a good thing to help others achieve their dreams. Tell Fei Changliu and the others to treat the three female disciples well. After the current situation is resolved, I will personally propose marriage to the three major factions on their behalf and grant them their wish!"
"Uh …" Guan Fangyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The three major factions claim to be righteous sects. I'm afraid they won't let these traitors marry them."
Niu Youdao snorted. "That's not up to them. They've already slept with them. How can they not marry them? How can the people of Thatched Cottage Villa be toyed with by others? They must take responsibility!"
Guan Fangyi felt that something was amiss. She asked suspiciously, "What do you want now?"
Niu Youdao didn't say much. "Let Fei Changliu and the others do as they say. Is there anything else? "
Guan Fangyi glanced at him. She had a feeling that Niu Youdao didn't have any good intentions in helping to propose marriage. Since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask anymore. She took out another piece of paper and said, "This is news from Qi Capital. Yan Baoru has sought refuge with the Ghost Doctor's disciple, Wu Xin."
"Oh!" Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and asked for the paper. After reading the details, he was a little surprised. He realized that when this person was forced into a desperate situation, he could really come up with any solution.
The information clearly stated that Wu Xin had already verified that Yan Baoru wasn't poisoned.
This matter was beyond his expectations. He really didn't expect that Yan Baoru could find the Ghost Doctor's disciple. What was even more unexpected was that the Ghost Doctor's disciple would accept Yan Baoru so easily. Yan Baoru also seemed to have sold herself to be a slave. It could be said that she followed the Ghost Doctor's disciple and sought protection.
"If it didn't involve me, I'm afraid that Wu Xin wouldn't accept her. It's really a cycle of karma …" Niu Youdao muttered to himself.
Guan Fangyi said, "The State of Qi happened to be looking for you. Do you want to send a message to the State of Qi and force them to dispose of Yan Baoru?"
Niu Youdao said, "You ah, don't always think about fighting and killing. You have to learn to think about others. Wu Xin's behavior is unsociable, and he lacks people around him. It's easy to have people to do things. It's not easy to find someone that he likes, so let's keep him! "
