Xia Hua pretended as if nothing had happened and giggled. "Yes, there is such a thing. I'm going to tell Daoye about it. Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain have approved the marriage of Zhao Dengxuan and the others, which means that they can bring them back to the sect. Considering the distance between the two places, it's not easy for a husband and wife to meet each other. Therefore, the three of them want to bring our three female disciples back to the sect. "
Zheng Jiuxiao added, "Considering that Daoye specifically urged us to do this, we didn't agree immediately. We just said that we should wait until the current situation has stabilized before we talk about this."
Fei Changliu tentatively said, "I wonder what Daoye thinks about this?"
Niu Youdao said in a lukewarm tone, "I don't think it's necessary to bring them back to Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain, right? Their marriage seems to have made the sect unhappy. Plus, we've taken refuge with Purple Golden Cave, so you can imagine the attitude of Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain. They're angry. In the end, I'm also thinking for the sake of the three women. I don't want them to run away and humiliate themselves. It's better to wait until the current limelight is over. When Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain calm down, we can save them some trouble, don't you think so? "
"Yes, yes, yes, Daoye's words are reasonable." The three people nodded in agreement, but inwardly, they were muttering, "It would be strange if you actually think for them."
Niu Youdao then changed the topic. "Since they're already married, it's their responsibility to carry on the family line. They may have some concerns, but as their teacher, you should reassure them and urge them to do so. Of course, their husbands may not have this idea yet, but whether they want to take this responsibility or not, their body is their own. They should be able to control it. The key is to see if they, or if you have the heart. "
The three people looked at each other. This was the second time that Daoye had deliberately paid attention to the three female disciples' childbirth.
Niu Youdao added another sentence with a tone that left no room for negotiation. "You guys have to pay close attention to this matter!"
"Yes! We'll urge you. "The three people complied.
There was no need for a heavy hammer to sound the drum! Niu Youdao waved his hand and changed the topic. He brought up the matter at hand. "Great Zen Mountain is leaving South State."
"Leave?" The three of them were surprised and said in unison.
Niu Youdao: "They're going to move to Guang Zhou en masse, so there's a gap in the forces guarding Nan Zhou. The three sects have been with me for so many years, so I'm going to hand Nan Zhou over to you three. Will there be any problems?"
This was a great thing! The three of them immediately stood up. Xia Hua excitedly declared, "We'll go through fire and water without hesitation!"
They were all very excited. Finally, they had not followed him for so many years in vain. Finally, they had risen to the heavens together with him.
Niu Youdao gestured for them to sit down, then continued, "Logically speaking, the strength of your three families isn't enough to oversee a province, but our South Province has a strong army and strong horses. Most importantly, Purple Golden Cave has sent many masters to guard the vital areas, so your responsibilities aren't heavy. Looking after your homes shouldn't be a problem."
"I've given you enough space and conditions. You should seize the time to develop the strength of your respective sects."
"Also, remember, Nan Zhou is our foundation. I've told the Prince to build up the support of the people, stock up on provisions, train elite soldiers, and wait for the right time! We need to seize the time to build up our strength in Nan Zhou. Nan Zhou has been given to you, so don't act recklessly. Cooperate with the Prince's side and achieve the goal of the plan. Whoever dares to be insatiably greedy and carelessly stretch out their hands, causing the people to have no way to live, and causing chaos in Nan Zhou, don't blame me for turning hostile! In these troubled times, Nan Zhou must be managed to become a model! I'm not worried about the Prince's ability to govern. What I'm most worried about is you cultivators! "
Fei Changliu sternly said, "Daoye, don't worry. We know what to do. We'll definitely restrain our subordinates and won't let them act recklessly."
The three of them repeatedly gave assurances, the excitement on their faces hard to conceal. This time, when they returned, they would be able to properly account to the entire sect. The foundation accumulated by generations of masters had finally been carried forward in their hands.
As they chatted, Xu Old Six, who was standing guard outside the door, coughed. Wen Mo 'er had arrived.
Wen Mo 'er entered and reported, "Daoye, Heavenly Jade School's Sect Master Peng is here again. He requests an audience outside the mountain gate."
Niu Youdao uttered an 'oh', "He came so quickly. It seems like he didn't stop to rest! He came just in time, invite him in. "
"Yes!" Wen Mo 'er accepted the order and left.
Afterwards, Niu Youdao indicated for the three Sect Masters to leave for a moment, and the three of them immediately took their leave.
Niu Youdao also left the hall and said to Xu Old Six, who was standing guard outside, "Go and invite the Princess over."
"En!" Xu Old Six acknowledged and left.
Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao temporarily went to the side courtyard to rest. After sitting down in a pavilion, the three of them wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, they didn't say anything.
The three of them knew what each other wanted to say. They wanted to say that there was Daoye's spy in the sect.
But what could they do even if they knew? Unless they wanted to rebel against Niu Youdao, they wouldn't dare to dig out the spy. If they really did that, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to Niu Youdao.
It was the same logic as how Niu Youdao knew that Gongsun Bu was Misty Pavilion's spy, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
But who exactly was the spy, and how high was his rank? This question lingered in the hearts of the three of them. If they couldn't figure it out, the three sects wouldn't dare to do anything fishy in front of Niu Youdao in the future …
Feng Ruonan, who had just been taken out for a stroll by Guan Fangyi, returned. She didn't know what instructions she had, but she saw Niu Youdao smiling and raising his chin towards the outside.
Feng Ruonan turned her head, and when she saw the person, she was stunned. It was none other than her maternal grandfather, the Sect Master of Heavenly Jade Sect, Peng Youzai.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for many years. To a certain extent, Peng Youzai's maternal grandfather had doted on his granddaughter quite a bit. It was just that he had to make a decision under the bigger picture. Many things were more important than the big picture, but the results made people sigh.
Peng Youzai was travel-worn. When he received Niu Youdao's summons, he indeed didn't stop to rest. Along the way, he changed horses and people without rest. He traveled day and night without stopping, arriving at the first instance.
Niu Youdao had suddenly become an elder of Purple Golden Cave, and he was suddenly summoned. He was well aware of Niu Youdao's influence on the people of the Northern Prefecture. In addition, the two of them had a grudge before, so he didn't feel confident at all. He was worried the whole way here.
The travel-worn dust on his body had yet to be washed off, and he rushed to the first instance because he wanted to put on a show for Niu Youdao.
When he saw Niu Youdao, he was a little dazed. Thinking back to the past, he was just a dog under the roof of Heavenly Jade Sect. Now that he saw him again, who was more of a dog?
His heart was filled with all sorts of feelings.
Seeing Niu Youdao's reaction, and then seeing a woman beside Niu Youdao turn around to look at him, that familiar face caused him to stop in his tracks.
Feng Ruo Nan's figure had become much rounder, and her skin had become fair and tender. She had also become more feminine, and the aura of the female general from the past was nowhere to be found.
Thinking of how their family had fallen out, he felt helpless.
"Elder Niu, congratulations, congratulations." Peng Youzai collected his thoughts and quickly walked over to greet Niu Youdao.
"Hehe, I'm fine. Sect Leader Peng, the one who should be congratulating is someone else. Your family has gained a new member." Niu Youdao pouted at Feng Ruo Nan.
Peng Youzai looked at his granddaughter and forced a smile. "Ruo Nan is here too."
Feng Ruo Nan said softly, "Grandfather!"
This "grandfather" made Peng Youzai's heart feel slightly warm. He said emotionally, "I heard you have a son?"
Feng Ruo Nan replied with a "En."
"Good, good, good. Your stomach is working hard. This is a good thing, a very good thing!" Peng Youzai nodded repeatedly. He wasn't being hypocritical, but was genuinely happy for Feng Ruo Nan.
The reason was very simple. The eldest son of Prince Yong was the first in line for the position of prince. In the future, regardless of whether Shang Chaozong liked his granddaughter or not, it was an unchangeable fact that a mother's status depended on her son's. Unless Shang Chaozong also dealt with his own son, if anything happened, that son would sooner or later seek justice for his mother.
With that son, his granddaughter could be considered to have a firm foothold on Shang Chaozong's side. No one in Southern Province would dare to treat Feng Ruo Nan harshly, or else they would be making life difficult for the Little Prince.
Hearing these heartfelt words, and seeing that her grandfather's beard and hair were much whiter than before, Feng Ruo Nan's eyes reddened. She also thought of her parents that she hadn't seen for many years.
Seeing this, Niu Youdao smiled and said, "Princess, allow me to do my part as a host first. How about the two of you catch up later?"
Feng Ruo Nan nodded. Shang Shuqing came over and hugged his sister-in-law's arm. He sympathized with her, knowing that her family was in such a state.
That year, when they were fighting for power, there was a shocking change. Sister-in-law's family wanted to put her brother to death, and her brother killed sister-in-law's own brother. The whole family killed each other. The past could be said to be vivid in Shang Shuqing's mind. After that, he was also very clear about how difficult her life was.
Peng Youzai turned around and took a gift box from Feng Entai's hands. "Elder Niu, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
Niu Youdao accepted the gift and handed it to Guan Fangyi, who was smiling at the side. At the same time, he smiled at Feng Entai and said, "Big Brother is also here."
Feng Entai nodded awkwardly. For a moment, he didn't know how to address him. His heart was also filled with emotions. This fellow actually became an elder of Zijin Cave!
With Niu Youdao's current status, he still recognized him as his big brother. He was not very surprised. Through the incident with Linghu Qiu, he knew that Niu Youdao was a person who was loyal to his friends!
Peng Youzai specially brought Feng Entai here. If something went wrong, he hoped that Feng Entai and Niu Youdao's friendship would be able to mediate.
"It's not a place to talk outside. Please come in!" Niu Youdao extended his hand to invite them in.
After they entered and served tea, Peng Youzai carefully flattered them. He didn't dare to rashly say anything. He waited for Niu Youdao to explain the truth of the summons. He believed that Niu Youdao wouldn't look for him for no reason.
"Ai!" After a few digressions, Niu Youdao suddenly sighed. "Seeing how Sect Leader Peng and Princess Consort met, I really can't bear to look back on what happened in the past. But no matter what, a family is a family. Broken bones connect tendons, and blood is connected. It can't be changed! Sect Leader Peng, don't you think so? "
Peng Youzai didn't know what he was thinking. He nodded reservedly. "What Elder Niu said makes sense."
Niu Youdao said, "Since we're a family, and since we're all on the same side, I won't beat around the bush. Let's speak frankly. If there's anything wrong, please don't take it to heart, Sect Leader Peng."
