"The Purple Golden Cave Elder …"
Inside the pavilion, Shao Pingbo couldn't help but sigh as he held the report sent by the Black Water Station of the Jin Nation's spy organization.
He had received the news a few days ago and immediately requested for investigation.
It was difficult to obtain the real details and the specific process, but the information he had obtained was enough for him to make a certain judgment.
His heart was filled with melancholy. Back in the day, Niu Youdao was nothing. Compared to him, the difference between the heavens and the earth was like the difference between heaven and earth. One wrong look from him was enough to scare Niu Youdao into fleeing for his life. But now, after being beaten down, he had been unable to move forward. Niu Youdao had already become an elder of the Violet-Gold Cave, and was in control of an enormous amount of power.
There was a brief flash of regret in his heart. If he had known that the Waning Moon Pavilion was going to establish a nation, he would have joined the Waning Moon Pavilion. Then, his identity and status would be different.
But he quickly suppressed this regret. If he had joined the Waning Moon Pavilion, Niu Youdao would have done everything he could to kill him. If he had threatened to cooperate with the Waning Moon Pavilion, he didn't know what ridiculous things the Waning Moon Pavilion would have done to him. It was too dangerous. It was safer to join the Jin Nation.
"It's harder to touch him now." Shao Pingbo turned around and sighed to Shao Sansheng.
Shao Sansheng hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Young Master, why don't we let people spread the rumor that Niu Youdao wants to be the Purple Golden Cave Leader!"
Shao Pingbo understood what he meant, but he shook his head and said, "It's not the right time! Wei Nation is about to have a big event. I don't want to attract his attention. Once the rumor spreads, he will suspect me first. Wei Nation's affairs must be kept secret. That guy's methods are strange and unpredictable. I don't want to attract his attention and cause unnecessary trouble. He has just established himself in the Purple Golden Cave and should have a lot of things to deal with. He doesn't have the energy to take care of me for now. Before it's done, I must keep a low profile. Staying out of his sight is the best choice. Moreover, His Majesty will not be happy if I fight with him at this time. In His Majesty's eyes, there is nothing more important than annexing Wei Nation. "
Shao Sansheng nodded. "Eldest Young Master is right."
Shao Pingbo lowered his head and looked at the report in his hands. He was still depressed. Niu Youdao had both a high status in the cultivation world and a huge influence in the secular world. The former was a weakness that he could not make up for …
"Wei Duo!"
When Tang Yi and the others came out of the meeting hall, they saw Wei Duo walking past under the shade of a nearby tree with his head lowered. Elder Luo Yuangong called out to him.
However, Wei Duo didn't seem to hear it. He looked extremely depressed and didn't react at all. He just walked on his own with his head down.
Luo Yuangong wanted to shout again, but Su Po raised his hand to stop him. "Forget it. He's probably very disappointed that Niu Youdao joined the Purple Golden Cave."
As soon as he said this, everyone had a complicated expression on their faces. Even Sect Master Tang Yi's bright eyes flashed with a trace of sadness.
When they first heard the news, everyone was very surprised. Niu Youdao, an elder of the Purple Golden Cave, almost jumped to the top. How could Purple Golden Cave give such treatment to a Rogue Cultivator? How could they let Niu Youdao reach such a position in one step?
For Niu Youdao personally, this was, of course, a good thing.
But for the people of the Shangqing Sect, they all understood what this meant. After Niu Youdao joined the Purple Golden Cave, his relationship with the Shangqing Sect was completely gone. There was no turning back. He had officially become a disciple of the Purple Golden Cave.
"I knew that guy was rebellious. He won't have a good death!" Tang Susu cursed angrily.
She didn't know why. She was obviously no longer a member of the Shangqing Sect, but she was still very angry about Niu Youdao joining the Purple Golden Cave.
It seemed that after the disciples of the Shangqing Sect heard the news, their mood was affected to a certain extent.
…
Recently, the Thatched Cottage was very busy. People came and went. Many people came to visit. Some of them were acquaintances, and some were strangers. After hearing the news, all the sects in the Yan Nation's prefectures, big and small, sent people to congratulate them.
Guan Fangyi welcomed and sent them off. Her face was almost stiff from smiling, but she was not tired of it. She received so many gifts that her hands became tired.
Those who came to congratulate her all brought gifts, which just happened to solve Guan Fangyi's urgent problem.
She finally realized that with a high status, she didn't lack money. But she had to support so many people, and it was expensive. She thought the more the better.
Of course, not all the cultivation sects in the prefectures sent people. The territories directly controlled by the three major sects didn't send people.
Although there were many people, after calculating the gifts, Guan Fangyi was slightly dissatisfied. The big and small sects weren't very generous. In total, they only gave a few million gold coins. In fact, it was not a small amount. But compared to what she had spent before, the gap was too big. It couldn't make up for the gap in her heart.
The Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Mansion and the Great Zen Mountain were generous and gave a million gold coins each.
Of course, the most generous ones were the sworn brothers of Niu Youdao from the Four Seas. Together, the four families gave a round number of ten million!
Even so, Guan Fangyi still complained. Niu Youdao earned three hundred million for the Four Seas in the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm. How could they give ten million?
However, she more or less understood that it was precisely because of that 300 million that Niu Youdao was willing to give this 10 million. Niu Youdao's status was already in place, and this 10 million could be considered a form of repayment. Otherwise, he would not be so generous. 10 million was not a small sum.
Guan Fangyi felt conflicted. In the end, she still felt heartache for the expenses she had spent …
More people came. A large group of people came. They weren't guests. Niu Youdao personally welcomed them outside the cottage.
Yuan Gang came. The monks from the South Mountain Temple came. Gongsun Bu led the people from the Five Liang Mountain came too.
A large group of people rushed over. When they saw Niu Youdao, they all went up to greet him. "Daoye!"
"It must have been hard on you all." Niu Youdao said politely. He turned around and signaled for Guan Fangyi to settle them down.
Yuan Gang threw his bag and Three Howling Saber to Duan Hu, but he didn't leave. He moved closer to Niu Youdao and said in a low voice, "So many people came here. Will Purple Golden Cave agree to stay in someone else's house for a long time?"
Niu Youdao said, "I solved it with a little trick. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Yuan Gang asked again, "Will they really treat you as one of their own? Will there be any unforeseen events? "
Niu Youdao said, "It's hard to say. But I am already an elder of Purple Golden Cave. Every sect has its own rules. They won't touch me for no reason. Is there any news from Yanjing? "
His relationship with Gao Jiancheng was an absolute secret. His contact with Gao Jiancheng didn't go through anyone but Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang said, "There's still no news. I'm afraid this kind of thing won't be easy. Can that person do it?"
Niu Youdao said, "That old guy isn't someone to be trifled with. We can't compare to him when it comes to the people and matters in the court, as well as our understanding of Shang Jianxiong. He knows the strategies in the court. Now that he's in power, this kind of thing shouldn't be a problem for him. No news is good news. It means that he's working on it. When he's sure, he'll give us an answer. "
Yuan Gang thought for a while and nodded. He then said, "I've already arranged for the local garrison to be stationed at Thatched Cottage Villa. There shouldn't be any problem with the grave outside the villa."
When the grave was mentioned, Niu Youdao looked up at the sky. People could move around according to the situation, but it wasn't easy to move around the grave. In the end, she was left alone.
No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he turned around and said, "We'll talk later. Let's settle down first."
Yuan Gang nodded and left.
Niu Youdao also slowly turned around and looked at Yuan Gang's back. He couldn't help but sigh. Some things were just as he expected. It was said that Yuan Gang had been monitoring Officer Feng's situation through the eyes and ears of Mount Five Liang.
"Here, and there …" Yuan Fang, who had taken off his hat and changed back into his monk robe, was leading a group of monks and pointing outside the courtyard.
Yuan Fang was a little excited. He never thought that he would one day live in a place like Zijin Cave.
No one knew what he was doing. Niu Youdao walked over with his sword. "Old Xiong, what are you doing?"
"Daoye!" Yuan Fang turned around and instantly put on a big smile. He swung his wide sleeves and ran over. He nodded and bowed. "Daoye, of course it's the old rules. Open up these few flat lands and plant them. Master Yuan's words make sense. We have to control Daoye's diet ourselves. Otherwise, there's too much room for others to tamper with it. It'll be hard to guard against it. "
So they were marking the land! Niu Youdao smiled. He realized that this group of monks had really been led astray by Yuan Gang. They had acquired the habit of planting vegetables wherever they went.
He was actually quite happy to see this group of monks. He could hear the morning bell and evening drum again. Listening to it every day could dispel his restlessness and calm his mind. It seemed to be beneficial to his cultivation and also made the atmosphere around him different.
As long as the morning bell and evening drum were still ringing, it meant peace.
He raised his hand and patted Yuan Fang's shoulder. "I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. I kind of miss it."
Yuan Fang immediately patted his chest and said, "Daoye, tell me what you want to eat. I'll get it for you immediately."
Niu Youdao: "Whatever. We'll talk about it when it's time to eat."
"Alright! I'll get Daoye's favorite food. " Yuan Fang promised. He then asked, "Daoye, where do you think we should put the wine? Can we open up a cave on that mountain?" He waved his hand and pointed at a mountain not far away.
Niu Youdao: "Forget about the wine."
"Ah! Forget about it? "Yuan Fang's eyes widened.
Niu Youdao: "Someone will do it for us! Don't work and get paid. What a great thing. It'll save you trouble. "
"Don't, Daoye. We can do this ourselves. We don't need someone else to do it for us." Yuan Fang was a little anxious.
At this moment, Wen Mo 'er dashed over and reported, "Daoye, the Sect Master has returned from the Misty Pavilion. Mr. Yu Cang from the Waning Moon Pavilion also came with him. Mr. Yu Cang is here."
"Old Bear, the person who will help you is here." Niu Youdao turned around and teased before leaving.
"Daoye, Daoye …" Yuan Fang's repeated shouts were useless. He couldn't get Niu Youdao to turn around. In the end, he rubbed his bald head and stomped his feet. He really wanted to cover something and not let go.
