Everyone was speechless. Someone's expression twitched. Sect Master Gong let out a heavy sigh.
Elder Yin Yide shook his head helplessly. "Alright, needless to say, that bastard went to Sleeping Turtle Pavilion to complain again. How wicked is that? Does a rat have to go there to complain even if it pees? "
Gong Lince's face tightened. "It's not a small matter. It's just that this bastard is a little mischievous."
Fu Junrang sighed. "Martial Uncle Zhong doesn't have long to live. As a disciple, does he still have a conscience? Is there anyone who would want their own master to die? Doesn't he know how to use it sparingly? "
Mo Lingxue said, "Looks like he misunderstood that we're harming him. Really, he ran away without even listening to us."
Yan Li said, "I think he suspects me first." He felt that if he didn't explain this clearly, Niu Youdao would fight him to the death.
Gong Lince said, "Don't say such useless things. It's not like we're harming him. Elder Zhong has summoned us. Let's go. "
The few of them were helpless. They rushed to Sleeping Turtle Pavilion at the back of the mountain. When they arrived, they saw Ju An standing on the steps of Sleeping Turtle Pavilion, welcoming the guests.
After entering Sleeping Turtle Pavilion, they realized that they weren't the only ones invited. The two elders, Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai, were also invited.
Zhong Guzi, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, was like a stone statue. Chun Xinliang and Tu Kuai sat cross-legged on his left and right, staring coldly at the few people who came.
Niu Youdao was sitting cross-legged on one side. When he saw the few people coming in, he turned his head to the side with a displeased expression.
"Greetings to the three Grand Elders!" Gong Lince and the others cupped their hands and bowed.
Chun Xinliang said indifferently, "Sit."
"Yes!" Gong Lince and the rest sat in a row and looked at Niu Youdao. All of them were impressed by this person. He didn't even clarify the situation and he immediately came to complain. He really dared to complain at the slightest provocation. He was like a hedgehog that shouldn't be touched.
Zhong Guzi slowly opened his eyes. His pair of old eyes suddenly bloomed with a sharp light, sweeping across the faces of the row of people sitting in front of him. His eyes were obviously filled with dissatisfaction, but his mouth was calm and peaceful as he said, "We don't have to do anything, and we can receive the full support of the Sect. It stands to reason that we old guys should be satisfied. According to the rules of the sect, each generation has its own responsibility. Since we old guys have retired, we shouldn't meddle anymore. But we are still disciples of the Purple Golden Cave, we can't turn a blind eye to everything. I wonder if you think it's appropriate for me to say this? "
Gong Lince hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Elder Zhong, you're exaggerating. The Grand Elders are still doing their best for the sect. Whenever the sect needs something, the Grand Elders have never refused and have always helped us. If we have done anything wrong, the Grand Elders are all experienced people and also the mainstay of the Sect. It's only right for them to point out and supervise us. "
Tu Kuai was like his name, he didn't beat around the bush with them and shouted directly, "We are from the same sect, we should help each other. Why are you secretly framing us?"
Gong Lince cupped his hands and said, "Elder Tu, there are times when there are disagreements between the same sect members, especially between the Elders. It's inevitable that there will be some disputes. But to say that it's framing us is an exaggeration."
Tu Kuai pointed at Niu Youdao and said, "Niu Youdao is on the list to go to the Saint Land. Is it your doing?"
His disciple Mo Lingxue said, "Master, it really has nothing to do with us. The Saint Land personally changed the list and added Junior Martial Brother Niu's name. The Saint Land appointed Junior Martial Brother Niu to participate. It's not us framing him."
Tu Kuai said, "I don't believe that the Saint Land doesn't know that he is an Elder of the Purple Golden Cave. There are so many people in the Purple Golden Cave, why did he add his name?"
Mo Lingxue sighed and said, "Master, it's not only the Purple Golden Cave's list that has changed, but the list of all the other sects has also changed. Not only did our Purple Golden Cave remove a disciple and add an Elder, but the other sects also did the same. The Saint Land personally appointed an Elder to participate."
As soon as she said this, Niu Youdao, who was looking up at the roof beam, was stunned and slowly looked back at her.
Tu Kuai and Chun Xinliang looked at each other and asked, "Do you have proof?"
Mo Lingxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Master, how can we talk nonsense about this? When the truth is confirmed, we won't be able to lie. "
Tu Kuai tilted his head towards Niu Youdao and said, "But your Junior Martial Brother doesn't believe it. Since we are here today, we must clarify the matter and give your Junior Martial Brother an explanation." Although he said this to Niu Youdao, it was actually for Zhong Guzi to hear. To put it bluntly, he wanted to help Gong Lince and the others clarify the matter.
At this time, Gong Lince took out a list from his sleeve and raised it with both hands. Under the influence of a spell, the list slowly floated towards Tu Kuai.
Tu Kuai grabbed it and frowned as he looked at it.
Mo Lingxue seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't understand; after all, the older generation had abdicated for a long time and didn't care about worldly affairs. Worried that he wouldn't know who the Elders on the list were, she cupped her fists towards the three Sect Elders, then got up and walked over to Tu Kuai's side, pointing at the list and explaining, "This is the Elder of Cloud Tool Sect, this is the Elder of High Heaven Pavilion … This is Junior Martial Brother Niu."
After confirming the list, Tu Kuai breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Mo Lingxue to retreat. Tilting his body to the side, he opened the list for Zhong Guzi to see, "Senior Martial Brother, look, there are Elders on the list. This should be a misunderstanding."
Zhong Guzi glanced at the list but didn't look at it carefully, then slowly closed his eyes, like a wooden statue, motionless.
Looking at Zhong Guzi's reaction, Tu Kuai waved his hand and pushed the list towards Niu Youdao, "Niu Youdao, you also take a look."
Of course, Niu Youdao grabbed the list and looked at it carefully. If he didn't look at it, he wouldn't have known, but at a glance, there was indeed something wrong. It was true that he wasn't the only Elder, there were Elders from all the sects who were participating. Not only that, he also discovered that the Elders from all the sects who were going to the Saint Realm were the top Elders of their respective sects.
He was no longer the old him. Now that he was an Elder of Purple Golden Cave, he naturally knew about the situation of the Elders. If he didn't even know this, then he would be a blind fool.
He was a little curious. If they really wanted the Elders to participate, the Misty Pavilion could have just pointed it out from the beginning, why did they change it again and again?
If it was really because they were dissatisfied with the list submitted by the sects, he should have heard some rumors, or at least asked the sects to correct it. Why did they directly point it out?
Seeing him frown and not say anything, Tu Kuai smiled, "Niu Youdao, it seems that you really misunderstood the Sect Leader and the others."
Niu Youdao immediately explained, "It's not that I misunderstood. They didn't say anything about this before, and they didn't show me the list."
Tu Kuai immediately scolded Gong Lince and the others, "This is your fault. What can't be said clearly in person? You are also at fault! "It was completely the tone of an elder scolding a junior, it didn't hurt or tickle, it was completely useless.
If it was any other time, they would have accepted the scolding from their elders, but this time, they couldn't accept it.
Mo Lingxue looked at Niu Youdao and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Junior Brother Niu, did we not make it clear to you? Did you give us a chance to make it clear? With just two sentences, you scolded us, turned around, and immediately ran to the Sleeping Turtle Pavilion. You didn't even give us a chance to explain. "
Niu Youdao immediately frowned and said, "Senior Sister Mo, speak clearly, don't confuse right and wrong. When did I scold you? When did I scold you? You make me look like I'm lawless in the Purple Golden Cave. Let me tell you, I can't stand this injustice. In front of the three Grand Elders, speak clearly. When did I scold you? Point it out! "
"…" Mo Lingxue was choked by him. She carefully thought about what Niu Youdao said before. Although there was some meaning in it, it didn't seem like he scolded them.
Gong Lince and the others looked at Niu Youdao and cursed in their hearts. Why are you struggling?
Tu Kuai's face darkened. He looked at his disciple and misunderstood. He mistakenly thought that his disciple was lying in front of him. He glanced at Zhong Guzi's indifferent reaction and turned to Mo Lingxue, "What's the matter?"
"No …" Seeing that her master misunderstood, Mo Lingxue hurriedly argued with Niu Youdao, "It may be too much to say that you scolded us, but do you admit it yourself? Did you not give us a chance to explain? You just said two sentences and then ran away? Didn't you also say: I don't care who did it, since you don't want me to have an easy time, don't think about having an easy time, I won't go. If I'm unlucky, we'll all be unlucky together! "
Niu You said, "That's what I said. You've already forced me to the brink of death. Can't I say a few words?"
Mo Lingxue was shocked. She pointed to the list in his hand, "The evidence is in your hands. It's already proven that we didn't harm you. You still want to frame us as the ones who forced you to your death?"
Niu Youdao: "You dare to say that you're not dissatisfied with us? You dare to say that you didn't deliberately make things difficult for me?"
Mo Lingxue choked with anger, "Nonsense, when did we make things difficult for you?"
Niu Youdao: "Everyone knows whether we did it or not!"
Chun Xinliang, who also glanced at Zhong Guzi, saw that his senior brother still had no reaction, and suddenly shouted, "Enough! You're the dignified elders of the Purple Golden Cave. How can you quarrel like a bunch of street ruffians? If there's any disagreement, go to the conference hall. Is this a place for you to quarrel? Both sides are in the wrong in this matter. This matter ends here. No more quarrels! "
No matter who was right or wrong, everyone would be punished. After this strong statement, Mo Lingxue and Niu Youdao also shut up.
Niu Youdao had something to do, so he spread out the list again and pondered.
The conference hall temporarily fell into silence. Chun Xinliang looked left and right, and finally tilted his body towards Zhong Guzi. He laughed and said in Zhong Guzi's ear, "Senior Brother, this matter has been cleared up. What do you think …"
He waited for Zhong Guzi's reply, but Zhong Guzi seemed to have fallen asleep. He didn't make a sound.
Everyone knew this attitude, and it was impossible not to hear it. It was obvious that he wanted them to do as they saw fit.
Tu Kuai and Chun Xinliang looked at each other. They had the same thought in their minds: Taking advantage of his seniority!
Chun Xinliang had no choice but to sit up straight. He coughed and said, "Niu Youdao, the matter has been cleared up. No one harmed you. Go back. Everything will be done according to the rules. Do what you need to do. Don't disturb your master's cultivation."
