What kind of person are you? Yan Li could only chuckle. He picked up his teacup and thought to himself.
Putting aside what kind of person he was, this exchange of goods and money made him feel strange. Did they look like people from the same sect? Did this look like a conversation between elders from the same sect? He had been in Purple Golden Cave for many years and had never heard of such a thing.
This also made him realize that Niu Youdao had not yet integrated into Purple Golden Cave, and Purple Golden Cave had not fully accepted him. They still subconsciously treated Niu Youdao as an outsider.
After pondering for a while, Yan Li put down his teacup, stood up and said, "I will remember your conditions, but I can't agree to them yet. I will go back and report to them before replying."
Niu Youdao also stood up and said, "Then I will see you out."
"No, there is no need for you to come." Yan Li didn't know if he was mocking him or mocking himself. He waved his hand and quickly walked out of the pavilion.
After watching him leave, Niu Youdao sat down again and slowly drank his tea. It was obvious that he was deep in thought.
Guan Fangyi, who had taken the initiative to send him out, came back and entered the pavilion. She waved her fan and asked, "One hand over the money and the other hand over the people. Do you want the couple or the money?" She was confused and did not understand.
Niu Youdao played with the lid of the teacup, "You like money. I am giving you what you like."
Guan Fangyi snorted and asked again, "Are you really going to hand them over?"
She felt that was not what he meant before, but now he had drawn a line with Purple Golden Cave.
Niu Youdao did not answer her question. He pondered and said, "Send someone to contact Sky Fire Order. Tell them that I have the final say on the matter of Kun Linshu and his wife. If they talk to me, I will not ask for any conditions. Remember, just deliver the message. Do not let Sky Fire Order know that it was me who delivered the message. Do not leave any evidence behind. "
Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment, then she understood. What she had talked to Yan Li was most likely a pretense. After going one round, the purpose should still be to protect the couple. Slightly puzzled, she asked, "If that's the case, why do you need to be so long-winded with Yan Li? If the Purple Golden Cave agrees to your conditions, how are you going to explain it to them?"
Niu Youdao: "Do you think I want to do this? I also want to do whatever I want. I also want it to be simple and straightforward. Who would be willing to feign civility with them? However, there was no other way. Since they were here, they had to abide by the rules of the game. Those who broke the rules would not be able to survive here. I can't completely disregard them for this kind of thing. Purple Gold Cave contributed to taking down Kun Linshu and his wife. I also need Purple Gold Cave's protection. "
Guan Fangyi understood what he meant, but she didn't understand. "Are Kun Linshu and his wife that important? For the two of them, is it really necessary for you to go through so much trouble between the two sects? "
Niu Youdao chuckled. "There's a saying in Marshal Meng's army: it's easy to get an army of a thousand, but it's hard to get a good general!"
Guan Fangyi frowned. "General? How could this Kun Linshu do such a thing? He's too egotistical. I really don't see how he can be considered a talented general. "
Niu Youdao shook his head slightly. "There are two kinds of generals. One is good at strategizing, and the other is good at killing in the face of battle! How can the Heaven Fire Everlasting Skill, which is regarded as the highest secret skill by the Heaven Fire Order, be simple? After the third generation of the Heaven Fire Order, no one managed to master it, but this Kun Linshu did. He's a rare talent. Just based on his cultivation talent alone, it's already amazing. Don't you look forward to it? I kind of look forward to it! Since he took the initiative to send himself to my doorstep, wouldn't I be as blind as a bat if I missed it? The Heaven Fire Order has internal constraints and is unwilling to make good use of it. Why not give it to me? "
Guan Fangyi was silent for a while, then teased, "You're thinking of yourself as a wise ruler."
Putting down the teacup, Niu Youdao slapped his thigh with both hands and sighed. "Hong Niang, we don't lack our own forces now, nor do we lack people to do things. What we lack is people who can really do things. There are too few people who can face the risks head-on, and there are too few options. The mess is too big, and there are too many things to handle. I can't handle it all by myself. Looking forward, the road is still long. We lack talents, do you understand? No matter what kind of talents they are, as long as they're useful, I don't mind having too many. "
Guan Fangyi said, "I understand your feelings. Even if he's a talent, aren't you afraid that he and his wife will resent you for abducting them in such a way?"
Niu Youdao turned around to look at her, and said with a hint of playfulness, "I think you were also abducted from Qi Capital by me, right? Do you resent me? "
Guan Fangyi was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage out of humiliation. "F * ck you!" Bam! She slapped his shoulder with her round fan, then turned around and left. "I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you."
The hem of her dress swayed gently as she walked down the steps and out of the pavilion. A smile appeared on her face as she thought back to the events of the past in the Qi Capital. Although there were dangers along the way, the days in the Qi Capital couldn't be compared to the daily life she had in the Qi Capital.
She turned around to look at the man in the pavilion. He was sitting there quietly, drinking tea slowly. Although it was quiet, it was difficult to conceal his spirit. There seemed to be a magnificent scene waiting ahead.
…
Qian Fucheng, who was riding a large bird, landed on a mountain ridge. He looked at the layers of buildings in the distance. That was where Heavenly Flame Sect was located.
Qian Fucheng had a similar feeling now. He only dared to look from afar and didn't dare to head back.
He had actually stopped many times on the way and wasted a lot of time.
It was still the same sentence. He didn't dare to head back. After such a thing happened, he didn't dare to face it.
He had no way to explain the Kun Lin Tree matter. He really couldn't. With the Bank of the World's manager as the middleman, he was pinned down right away. He had no way to make a comeback, such that he didn't even have a chance to argue.
After such a thing happened, as an Elder of Heavenly Flame Sect, he was really clear about the consequences that awaited him when he returned.
He was afraid. He had also thought of simply running away and be done with it.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. The pros and cons of fleeing and not fleeing were obvious.
If he didn't flee, at most he would lose everything and fall into the sect. There wouldn't be any other risks and he wouldn't have to worry about basic necessities. Maybe he would have a chance to rise up again when the time was right. After all, he still had a bunch of people under him.
But once he escaped, the nature of the matter would be completely different. The sect would definitely pursue him to the end, and he would fall into eternal fear and unease for the rest of his life. The disciples of his faction would also draw a clear line between themselves and him, and they would become enemies. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as he was worrying about the pros and cons, a large bird flew over. Two people jumped off to investigate because they noticed that someone had landed here.
They were Heavenly Flame Sect disciples. Seeing that it was him, the two of them bowed, "Greetings, Elder Qian."
Qian Fucheng's smile was a little forced. He took in a deep breath and took in a deep breath. He still had to face what he had to face. In the end, he got up and headed towards the sect …
At the sect master's residence behind the main hall of Heavenly Flame Sect, a letter arrived. It was sent by Niu Youdao. Because of Qian Fucheng's hesitation on the way, the letter arrived before Qian Fucheng.
In the letter, it said not to talk to Purple Golden Cave about the kunlin tree. Purple Golden Cave would demand an exorbitant price. The initiative was in Niu Youdao's hands. If they wanted to avoid losses, they could talk to Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao wouldn't raise any conditions.
This letter, it is not clear who the messenger is, who sent the letter, and can not understand the meaning of the letter, but the head of the sect Yu Wen Yan has been aware that Qian Fucheng and others went to Zijin Cave to have an accident.
He quickly gathered all the elders and handed the letter over to everyone one by one, letting everyone take a look at it.
A group of people were discussing this matter when a disciple suddenly came to report, "Elder Qian is back."
As an elder, Qian Fucheng had the right to enter here directly. Why did he need someone to inform him?
Combined with the letter and Qian Fucheng's abnormal behavior, everyone felt something was wrong. They all turned to look outside the door.
Yu Wenyan grunted and signaled for them to come in.
After the disciple went out to make the call, Qian Fucheng's figure slowly appeared outside the door. He walked in, obviously very uneasy. There was no trace of the Heavenly Fire Sect Elder's spirit. Instead, there was more sadness and despondency.
When he stood in front of everyone, Yu Wenyan said in a low voice, "What happened? Where are the kunlin tree people? "
Qian Fucheng lowered his head and said, "I'm guilty. I've made a big mistake. Please punish me, sect master!" After saying this, he knelt down in front of the ancestor statue.
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
Yu Wenyan's face darkened. He said in a low voice, "I'm asking you what happened."
"After going to the Purple Golden Cave, the kunlin tree was eager to challenge Niu Youdao. I was foolish …" Qian Fucheng knelt in front of everyone and recounted everything that had happened after he arrived at the Purple Golden Cave. He did not dare to hide anything.
Since he had decided to come back and face them, there was no need to hide anything. The kunlin tree was in the hands of the Purple Golden Cave. How could he hide it? If someone asked, the situation would be clear. There was no way to hide it.
After listening to his story, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Not even in their dreams would they have thought that Qian Fucheng would do such a stupid thing.
Not to mention them, even Qian Fucheng himself did not believe that he could do such a thing.
Even Niu Youdao himself would not have thought that the Heavenly Flame Sect would send the kunlin tree to challenge him. The process and outcome of the matter were all because of Niu Youdao's probing of the bottom line. That was how things had developed to this point.
"Junior Brother Qian, are you stupid? It's fine if Niu Youdao doesn't want to fight, but why did you agree to such conditions?"
"Junior Brother Qian, are you crazy? Haven't you thought about the consequences of such harsh conditions? Don't you know that the kunlin tree has the highest secret technique of the Heavenly Flame Sect? "
"You, I really don't know what to say about you. You said you agreed, so you agreed. Why did you agree to let the people from the Bank of the World be the middleman? You don't even have a chance to go back on your word. Our Heavenly Flame Sect is really passive!"
The group of elders were all heartbroken and scolded Qian Fucheng.
Qian Fucheng was scolded until he didn't say a word. He felt a little sad in his heart. Back then, a bunch of people wanted him to go. Now that something had happened, it was all his fault.
Of course, at this time, things had already happened. His decision was in the hands of these people. It was not good to offend them. It was better not to argue than to argue. He could only accept it.
"All of you, shut up!" Yu Wenyan suddenly shouted angrily, her voice shaking the hall.
